Chapter 5

Vincent's POV 

I woke up with a handover, my head was pounding. I got up and went straight to the kitchen to get some water. Damien dragged me to the club last night, I did not want to go but he forced me. I asked him what he was celebrating, he just said he was happy to be alive.

Damien uses any chance he gets to drink and he makes sure he drags me along with him. As I was drinking water, my doorbell rang. I dropped the cup and went to check who it was. I saw it was my Father and Mother and they both looked angry.

I opened the door for them and immediately, my father threw a newspaper at me.

"What is your problem?, just few weeks left for your wedding, you are going around sleeping around" my father said angrily. I opened the paper and saw the news. I had my hands around a woman entering the hotel.

I thought there won't be any paparazzi. I don't even remember her name, all I knew was that I had sex with her yesterday night.

"Look, I know you did not want this marriage but we had a deal, you can't go around messing things up, how do you think Elias would feel?" My father said. Honestly, I did not care about what Elias felt, but my father was right, we made a deal, I should stick to it.

"Vincent, you are getting married even if it is not from love but as long as you are getting married, you need to respect your marriage and your partner" my mother said.

"I am sorry for what happened, I promise it won't happen again " I said to my parents 

"It better not, be thankful I paid someone to take down the article and the Hales has not seen it yet but I don't know about Elias " my father said.

"Oh I have an idea, why don't you take Elias out for lunch and apologize to him" my mother suggested.

"Oh honey, that is a perfect idea. You must head over to the Hales and take Elias out for lunch " my father said. I wanted to protest but the look my mother gave me made me shut up.

"Whatever you say father" I replied, then they left. I did not want to see him but I know my father has a way to know if I actually went to pick him up. So I went to my room and took my shower, my hangover already reduced.

I wore a black shirt and a black pant, I wore my black shoes and left my room. On my way to my car, Damien called.

"Son of a bitch" I said and picked up his call.

"What?" I said 

"No good morning? No how are you? Nothing?" He whined

"What do you want?" I asked 

"Nothing, just wanted to ask what happened last night, I passed out and I can't remember anything " he said.

"Nothing happened, just that the paparazzi captured me when me and the lady were going into the hotel" I told him.

"Shit, what happened?" He asked 

"Well, my father and mother just left my penthouse and they gave me a hear full now they told me to go and pick Elias up and take him out for lunch" I told him as I was entering my car.

"Lunch is not that bad, where do you plan on taking him too?" He asked.

"I don't care, anywhere I pass by, I will stop there" I said as I put on my engine.

"Okay man, we will talk later" he said and I ended the call. I pulled out of my garage and headed straight to the Hales.

I got to their gate and their security opened the gate for me, I drove into their driveway and packed my car. I did not want to do this but what choice do I have?

I put off my car and stepped out. I walked up to the door and pressed the door bell, after a few seconds, one of the maid opened the door. Immediately she saw me, she allowed me to enter. I strolled into their living room and saw his twin sister Lena.

They actually looked so much like each other, the difference was that she was a female and he was a male and she had longer hair while his was shorter. Other than that, they are the same person.

When she saw me, her eyes shot up and she stood up to meet me.

"Hi, my parents are not here at this moment, if you have a message for them, i can help you deliver it" she said.

"I am not here for your parents, I am here for your brother " I said. She looked at me like I had grown two heads.

"Elias?" She asked.

"Well yes, or do you have another one?" I questioned.

"Oh my bad, yes I will go and get him now, make yourself comfortable" she said as the ran up the stairs. I stood and looked around their living room. There were pictures of them hung everywhere. I saw a baby picture of Elias and Lena, they were on the beach, I guess Lena pushed Elias on the sand because he was pouting and had sand all over his face. The picture looked cute.

"What are you doing here?" A voice said. I looked back and saw Elias. He was wearing a cropped top with some shorts. He had paint on his face and his hands. I knew he paints, I found out in high school.

"Can't I come and see my fiance?" I asked. His face turned red, he was blushing.

"It is just unexpected" he said.

"Come on, get dressed, I am taking you out for lunch" I told him. 

"No, that is not necessary, you don't have to force yourself to be here" he said.

"Well, my parents insisted so there is no backing out, get dressed, I will be waiting for you outside " I said and went outside. When I got outside, I started browsing where I could take him to.

After a few minutes, he came outside. We entered the car and drove off. I took him to an expensive restaurant. When we entered, we were directed to our table then a waiter came to take our order.

When she saw me, she started biting her lips, looking at me like she wanted to eat me. Normally I would have accepted but I made a deal with my father.

"She was clearly checking you out" Elias spoke.

"Well yes, I have that effect on people" I said.

"So can you tell me why we are here?" He questioned.

"My parents wanted me to apologize for what happened last night, I am sure you would have seen it" I said.

"So you are here because of your parents?" He questioned.

"Well yes, why else will I be here?" I said. The look on his eyes changed. He stood up and said

"You did not have to come, I understood your intentions" he said and walked out. I ran behind him, when I got to him, I pulled him by his arm and turned his face to mine. When I saw his face, I felt like a dick. He was crying, I knew I messed up.

"Look, I know you hate me and all but I am still a person, I have feelings too, you can't just take my feelings like it is nothing and step on them" he said with tears. He then started walking away from me. For a second there, I just stood there not going after him then I had a car hit someone on the road where Elias was.

I looked around I did not see Elias, I saw people gathering around, I immediately ran to where the car was. When I got there, my heart sank, blood everywhere.

"What have I done?"
