[73] For The First Time In A Long While, I Was Content With What I Had
All of my siblings had a mixture of disappointed faces once they saw Markus’s pseudo-basement apartment.
Olive, Scarlett, and Hazel were respectful enough that they didn’t air their disappointment. With the lack of excitement on their faces, though, I’m sure they were expecting something bigger. Quickly, they took all the bags of our siblings and when I pointed where our room was, they hid themselves inside.
Clementine wasn’t as kind. She immediately started walking all around the place, looking inside drawers and cabinets. I glare at her whenever I notice her stuffing things inside her jacket pocket. Didn’t stop her though, in fact, it seemed to fuel her more. She would smirk whenever I caught her.
I should teach her a lesson in stealing, she&

The Disreputable Love Transaction [74] My Brother And I Talk About Snakes
Keira smiled lovingly behind the screen of my phone.It had been a long time since we talked about everything that had been going on lately with my life. When I told her that I had moved into Markus’s apartment, she made a fit and went all dramatic. Once I gave her a voucher for a fresh pair of shoes, she immediately went quiet. Now, I was currently telling her about how I’ve already taken in my siblings and as of the moment, we were squatting Markus’s apartment.And that they still didn’t know I was pregnant.She screamed and asked why I was even still pregnant in the first place. Even though I’ve already told her about the contract I made Markus sign, she was still insisting that I should get rid of the thing inside of my belly. To
The Disreputable Love Transaction [75] My Brother's Going To Get A Robot Leg
Ash’s leg was so infected the doctor told us we might have to have it amputated.Markus had been kind enough to bring us to an actual doctor and not just some quack he found online who offered services for free. This was an actual doctor from an actual hospital. Still, Markus being Markus, the doctor was an old family friend and often gave them free consultations.Ash told us that he got wounded after falling off a tree. I was just about to ask him why he was stupid enough to go climb a tree when Red grabbed my hand, stopping me from doing so. With a shake of his head, he dragged me out of the hospital room and talked to me in the hallway.“It was a dare,” He said.“He’s about to lose his leg ov
The Disreputable Love Transaction [76] Maybe The Baby Doctor Could Tell Me Why I Feel Unhealthy Heart Contractions?
Markus tapped my knee while we were in the waiting area of the OB-GYN.“Nervous?” He asked, “I am too.”Shaking my head, I sink back into my chair. “No. I’m just worried about Ash.”We were seated in a waiting area that only had an aquarium as a source of entertainment. All around us were couples who lovingly held one another as they waited for their names to be called by the staff to be checked by the obstetrician-gynecologist. Honestly, it made me awkward that we were the only people who weren’t clinging to one another.Even the magazines didn’t intere

“Holy shit, that’s cold!” The doctor rubs the cool gel on my belly, and it was enough to make me squirm. Markus was sitting next to me, looking so out of place. He pursed his lips, his legs crossed, his head down while he’s looking down on his phone again. The doctor giggles at me, “The gel’s supposed to help us see your baby better.”

Markus was lifting the sonogram above his head, a huge smile on his face.“You should hide that,” I say, jabbing him in his side. He clicks his tongue, stepping away from me, still the sonogram above his head. “My brother’s about to meet us any minute. You wouldn’t want them to see that, would you?”

“And so, imagine my surprise when I found out that he was actually the dean’s son!” Hazel said, waving her arms in the air dramatically. She always does this whenever she’s talking and wants all of us to listen. “No wonder he got the first place in that science competition, even though he didn’t deserve it.”Clementine snorted.And that made me pinch the bridge of my nose. That was usually how it started with the twins. One would talk about how her day or life had been recently, and the other would obviously mess it up or joke about it. The unmistakable reddening of Hazel’s face was a clear indication that she was just about ready to jump up from the table to strangle her twin.“No,” I didn’t hesitate to point at the both of them, ma

My sisters and I cried that night.It was after dinner. We were all getting ready to sleep. I was fixing the plates, but Markus placed his hands on his hips, shaking his head at me. Chuckling, I let him do the dishes because he tells me I already did the cooking. Red quickly ran towards our room carrying Ash, Gray, Blue, and Jade, hiding from us and hiding from the chores. He really ate and dash.Olive and Scarlett, plus the twins, offered to help, but Markus said that his mother would slap him if she found out that he let a guest clean up. He told me he would be talking to them about the current arrangement after everything had been settled. I knew he was doing that because of his parents, who are exactly like him, would find out just how much money we spent the past few days, with the car gas, rentals, and other checkups, they would freak out.
The Disreputable Love Transaction [81] The Thing Inside Me Is Craving For Something
Professor Aschwa was discussing something about corporate taxes when I felt my stomach rumble.Rumble was an understatement. I was seated on my bed, leaning against my headboard. The sound was loud enough that Gray, who was currently pressing his face against Mexi’s aquarium, turned around to look at me, a teasing glint in his eyes. Already bracing myself for the things he would say, I raise my arm up and point at him, narrowing my eyes as much as I could, “Don’t you dare.”Gray dared, “Aww, is the pig hungry?”Rolling my eyes, I place my hand on my belly again, “Can you check the stockpile room if I still have some Todas?”“You’re still eating those?&rd
