"Will it work this time?" Ask my husband, Harvey Ackles.
I put my parfume bottle on the dressing table, and walked over to him. Harvey's handsome face was pale whenever we were going to have a dinner with his family. He tried three times before but always ended up being rejected. Yes, who else are we talking about besides Harvey's younger brother, Sean Ackles.
"I'm sure you can persuade Sean." I replied, fixing his tuxedo collar.
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Actually... no."
Harvey laughed briefly before sighing. "What else should I say? Sean is all grown up. He must change for the better."
I understand what Harvey meant. Sean often acts like a teenager. Whether it's partying, sex with lots of women, and things that 25-year-old men don't do. I was even confused about how Sean graduated from University, when all he knew was having fun.
Harvey just needed to persuade Sean to consider their parents' request -Anne and Roby. They wanted Sean to take over the family company. Harvey already has his own company so it is impossible to become CEO of two companies. Their only choice was Sean. But unfortunately Sean likes to make easy things difficult because he keeps on refusing.
"Speak carefully. Don't forget to give him the alcohol first." We knew Sean's temperament was terrible. At least alcohol can be quite calming.
"I'll try harder."
"Oh, they are coming."
I enthusiastically as soon as the house bell rang. Meanwhile Harvey glanced at the mirror to get rid of his nervousness. Immediately I held my husband's hand and smiled. Hopefully there will be a miracle for Sean to obey, because I can't help seeing Harvey getting more and more frustrated.
"Are you ready?"
"You're the only one who needs to prepare, honey," He pinched my nose softly.
"Me?" I asked, confused.
"My mom will praise how beautiful you are."
My cheeks turned red and we kissed. After that I was ready to meet the three most valuable people in Harvey's life.
-----
"I hope Sean changes his mind." Said Anne, playing her fingers uncomfortably. Roby can only pat his wife's shoulder and try to give positive thoughts. As the father of Harvey and Sean, of course Roby wanted to join them. But Roby knows that Harvey can rely on whenever it comes to Sean. Sometimes Sean's harshness, only Harvey could handle it.
"Sean must have listened to Harvey's words this time. We have to believe in Harvey." Roby said.
After I finished washing the dishes, I poured wine for them. Anne smiled, then drank the wine. She looks calmer now, it is evident that Anne started talking about Harvey-Sean's childhood. Even though I've heard this story many times, I still laugh. It's hard to belive that Sean was such a lovely person back then.
"Fuck! You damn bastard!"
Sean shouted from upstairs at the same time an item sounded broken. Harvey came down in hurry. His face was hideous with blood on the nose and the corners of the lips.
"What happened? Why Sean hit you?" I asked in panic. To be honest they fought a lot but never this badly.
Harvey groaned like he was in pain. "He still refuses to take over the company."
"Wait a minute. I'll ---"
"Roby and I were taking Harvey to the hospital. Please keep an eye on Sean, Angel." Anne interrupted and stopped my steps that were about to take the medicine box. The blood in my body seemed to stop working.
"No, I'm fine." Said Harvey, aware that I was just silent. Harvey knew I wasn't comfortable with Sean.
"You're hurt, Harvey! What if Sean hit your surgical stitches?!"
Yes, Harvey had been in a car accident in the past and required surgery. Since then Anne has become more concerned with all things about her eldest son.
"I'll take care of Sean. Make sure you're all right, babe."
"Thank you for your understanding. We'll be right back." Harvey must have thought that I wanted to open up to his brother. Oh really, if there were other options besides getting close to Sean, I would have chosen that right away. Unfortunately, this is all I can do.
After they left, I froze in the front door like a fool. My legs feel heavy. I squeezed my dress with no intention of finding out what Sean was doing.
Okay. Lets try it.
The sound of my heels can be heard as I climb the stairs. I threw away the thought that Sean might hit me too. He is indeed a rude man, but I am sure he will not hurt me physically.
At first I assumed Sean was in Harvey's office, but it turned out to be in my private room with Harvey. Sean was facing the window and letting the cigarette smoke carry the night breeze. I bit my lower lip. How should I start a conversation with Sean? Or should I go down and wait for Harvey to come back? At least I knew Sean was fine.
"What do you want?"
Sean's voice made me realize that he was watching me. His pair of green eyes looked up and down on me, making me regret being here. I've never been intimidated just because of someone's gaze.
"A-are you hurt?" I asked.
He threw the cigarette on the floor, then stepped on it. Oh, Harvey's not going to like this! Harvey hates cigarettes!
"Are you trying to kick me out and make sure I leave before your beloved husband returns?"
Sean's guess took me by surprise, even though the thing about me wanting to kick him out was completely true. He stepped forward, while I did the opposite. Sean's grin grew wider when I had no more room to get away from him. I've been trapped.
"Why are you always afraid of me, Angel?"
I pushed my saliva hard. Angel? Did he just say my name? This rarely happens. In fact, this is the first time he's called my name after I officially married Harvey two years ago.
Sean's eyes darkened, and I didn't want to be around him any longer. Unfortunately Sean grabbed my wrist first. He locked me on both sides of my body with his big hands. Our distance is getting closer. Now I can even feel his breath that smells like peppermint and cigarettes.
"You're always getting in on my business and Harvey's. You really disgust me." I know Sean hates me, but I didn't think it turned out this big. "But I have to admit, seeing you in this dress, you make me hard. I really want to fuck you in front of your husband."
Shit, what did Sean say? He touched my face, made me look up and stare at him doubtfully. I'm scared, but I like this. Like a challenge?
"I want to feel you, Angel. I'm going to make you forget how to walk."
My breath caught by his dirty words. Sean's fingers slid sensually down my thighs. Realizing this was the wrong situation, I pushed him away. Sean is my husband's younger brother! This shouldn't be happening!
When I almost made it out of the room, Sean grabbed me and slammed my back against the wall. A moment later he pulled my dress up, which made me gasp.
"You are so wet," I closed my eyes while pushing his chest. How to stop this pleasure? Stupidly, I just moaned, and it made Sean grin happily. "Say you want me the way I want you. Say it, baby girl."
I can't think straight.
My fingers squeezed his sturdy shoulders as a sign that I am enjoying this forbidden touch. In the next second, I closed my eyes and spoke without hesitation.
"I want you."
It's been a month since Darla sprained her leg. So it's been a month since Darla hasn't spoken to Sean again. Darla forgot about Steve's threats because she was already hurt by Sean's words. How could Darla approach Sean when Sean's attitude was so arrogant? Besides... besides that Darla is pregnant. Yes, Darla got pregnant by Sean. Unfortunately she still keeps her pregnancy a secret from anyone, except for Britney. So Darla decided to stop working at the nightclub and Britney allowed it. Today Darla is cooking a lot of food because it is a special day. Today is Noah's first day of school. Since being pregnant, Darla feels more passionate about cooking. The great thing is that Darla's cooking is now very delicious. It's 1pm and Noah should be back from school. She paced back and forth in front of the house anxiously. Suddenly a taxi pulled up in front of her house and Noah got out of there. Not only that, Noah was with Meredith. "Noah, come here," Darla said
Darla never imagined that she would be in this situation. She was on Sean's back. Yes, Sean carried her to the mini market. Darla could not focus because Sean's back was so board and wide, besides that the smell of Sean's perfume made Darla mesmerized. Sean's perfume was already mixed with sweat and it reminded her of the time they had sex a few days ago. "Wrap your hands around my neck," Sean said because Darla almost fell over. Slowly Darla's hands were now on Sean's neck. She had been holding Sean's shoulder because she felt it was too awkward. To be honest she was shy, but she couldn't walk alone either. Her ankle was too sore. "Sorry, I must be heavy," said Darla feeling bad. "No, you're not heavy." "I weigh 50 kg." Darla said honestly. “Why did you say that? Do you want to know my weight?” Sean chimed in. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm heavy." "If you're still saying the same thing then I'll leave you her
Darla woke up earlier than usual. The night after Sean followed her to the nightclub, Darla couldn't think of anything. She had been quiet for a while in the club and asked Britney for an opinion, after which she decided to take time off work that night. So Darla came back home around 10 and Noah was asleep. Ah, she hasn't even spoken to her younger brother since yesterday afternoon.To refresh her mind, Darla decided to jog around the complex. She also hadn't exercised in a long time so her muscles felt stiff. After warming up, Darla started jogging. She has heard that when we are stressed, jogging is one of the sports that can be used as an option.Yes, Darla is under a lot of stress. Britney's words are still etched in her mind. Darla really had no other choice but to refuse Steve's request, so Darla couldn't help but obey. Darla must look for evidence while she pretends to cooperate with Steve. She honestly didn't want to set Sean up, but Noah's life was at stake.
Harriet was still pretending to be asleep even as Sean carried her. Noah walked behind Sean and Anne, so Noah could see that Harriet was slowly opening her eyes. Noah smiled and Harriet smiled back."Go back to sleep," Noah said quietly.Harriet immediately closed her eyes again. She was quite happy to meet Noah even though this afternoon Sean forbade them to meet. And she was also happy to be carried by Sean. Harriet missed Sean's warm embrace."Noah? Come and walk beside me."Anne's words made Noah run over, so they all walked side by side down the cemetery area. Anne's wrinkled hand gripped Noah's.“We want to thank you. If you hadn't told us about Angel’s grave, we might not have thought of coming here. Previously we were really frantic and panicked,” said Anne gratefully."Yeah, you're welcome, Grandma. Because the only place I can think of is this.” Noah gave a sweet smile."Thank you darling." Once again
In Sean's hand was a toy in the form of a lego. He had just bought this at a toy store as he was going home. Harriet will definitely love this lego. Previously Harriet was still angry that she didn't want to talk to Sean. Sean understood that because lately he had been quite fond of his little daughter.When Sean arrived at his house, he saw Anne was in the yard looking for something. "Mom, what's wrong? What are you looking for?” Sean asked.Anne approached Sean and her face showed panic. “Sean… Harriet disappeared. She's not in the house," answered Anne in a trembling voice."W-what?" Sean's eyes widened in surprise. His heart felt like it was going to burst when he heard that. "Are you sure, Mom?""Yeah, I haven't been able to find Harriet since."Sean immediately ran to enter the house. He entered Harriet's room which was no longer locked even though his little daughter had locked it since this afternoon. Sean's feet searched
"Britney? May I ask your advice?”Those were the first words that came out of Darla's lips as soon as she approached Britney. Britney exhaled the smoke, then she pressed the butt against the ashtray."What do you want to ask?"Darla sat down next to Britney. To be honest she was hesitant to talk let alone ask for advice from Britney. Darla used to keep everything to herself, but this time she felt like she wanted to share her worries. Darla wanted to know what a Britney's point of view was."I ... I mean it's about my friend," Darla lied. She couldn't possibly say that this was about her. If Britney knew the truth, Britney might be more frustrated than Darla.“What problem does your friend have?”Darla fiddled with her fingers for a moment before she worked up the courage to speak. “My friend received a threat from someone. She was told to make a man love her, then after that my friend had to leave the man. She is in
Darla was just about to enter the nightclub where she worked and just at that moment Steve called her. She squeezed the phone in her hand because she didn't want to talk to Steve at all. She had already guessed that Steve would ask about the progress of her relationship with Sean. Oh, this can't even be called progress. They even had a fight this afternoon."What are you calling me for?" she asked as soon as she picked up Steve's call. She pulled over to the side of the road right beside the nightclub."Is there any progress?" Steve asked matter-of-factly."Steve, didn't you give me three months?" Darla reminded Steve."Yeah, I'm just making sure you don't retreat unilaterally."Darla snorted. “Did I think I had that kind of opportunity? You put me in the most difficult position.”"It's good that you're aware of that." Steve laughed with satisfaction. “If you are caught unilaterally retreating, then I will not hesitate to k
"Could you show us where your basement is?"Steve did not immediately respond to Xavier's request and it made Harvey smile. Steve seemed a bit taken aback and maybe he was starting to get intimidated that Harvey knew about the secret room.“Yeah, sure, but I haven't been in the basement in a while so maybe it'll get pretty dirty. Maybe about 6 months ago,” Steve said pretending to think.Steve walked in front of them. There is a door and in that room there is a secret staircase leading to the basement. They all descended the stairs and now they were all finally in the basement. Steve turned on the light switch, but the light was dim as a sign that this room was rarely visited. Xavier and his team are even pretty sure that this basement was probably last visited a few months ago. This basement room is dirty and stuffy."This must be your trick. You want to deceive us all," said Harvey confidently. Previously, Dalton had talked about this baseme
After making sure Caroline was waiting in the car, Harvey walked behind Xavier's team. Harvey tried to call Steve's cell phone number to find out if Steve was home or not, but Steve didn't pick up at all. Steve was certainly confused after his crime was caught until the rescue team was here.Harvey and Xavier's team stepped further into the house. This house is very quiet as if uninhabited. Suddenly they heard the sound of the cell phone ringing tone.Xavier glanced at Harvey. "Are you calling him?" Harvey nodded his head, then he showed Xavier the screen of his cell phone. He did call Steve, but he didn't pick up. "Keep calling him. I'm sure he'll pick up if you keep calling him.""Yeah, looks like Steve still doesn't know we're here."“You better look for something in every corner of this house. If there's anything suspicious, you can tell me right away,” Xavier told his team of two men."Okay sir," they answered in unison, then they
