Anthony watched Faith stiffen. She was still sitting on the bed. He washed his hand and quickly got back to his wife. "Hey, what's the matter? Did I offend you?" he placed his hand on the back of her head and stroked her wet hair. Faith shook her head. "No, I'm okay." "Good, because I'm not done with you yet," Anthony smirked and picked her up in his arms. Faith's cheeks turned red in response and she buried her face in his shoulder. He lay her in bed and removed her towel. Faith's face and neck were flushed red. She still wasn't used to Anthony staring at her naked. "I wasn't going to do anything other than pampering you, but you've fanned the flame now, Faith." He placed his hand between her legs and stroked her. She shivered slightly. So sensitive, this girl. He positioned himself between her legs. He knew he shouldn't be making love to her without protection, but he wanted to feel everything inside her. It was like an addiction. An

Anthony watched Faith's reaction as he finally told her about his dark past. Her eyes were dark and her face twisted into a frown. He didn't even tell her everything yet. He didn't know if he should or not."Say something," he said grimly as she wasn't speaking."How...who killed her?" Faith asked.She was trembling slightly. She must be shaken up after hearing his story."Her death was ruled as suicide, but I knew she was murdered. She would never kill herself. She wasn't that kind of person," Anthony said. "Though everyone claimed she did it because I got in the way of her and Phil."Faith cleared her throat. "You don't know if she was murdered. Maybe she did kill herself. What if she was depressed about Phil and...""NO!" Anthony cried out. He braced himself as he saw Faith get startled at his outburst. He quickly softened his tone. "She was murdered. I am sure of it. And I think Phil had something to do with it."Faith gasped. "Yo

Phil took out the piece of paper from his box and read it for the 56th time.Each time, it seemed different than the last time. But it was the same letter he read all those years ago. The one that made him hate his brother. His only brother.Phil had gone through hell since that day while Anthony carried on as nothing happened. And people called him the coldest of the brothers.Suicide, what a joke.Phil knew Anthony hated her because she chose him over Anthony. That wasn't what he wanted. He liked Myra, but he never intended to destroy Anthony's marriage. He was young and still learning about love. Anthony had always craved love, and Phil didn't want to ruin his illusion.This was why he told Myra that they should stop seeing each other, but she wouldn't listen to him no matter what. Instead, she wanted to leave Anthony right away and run away with him."Run? Are you crazy?" Phil laughed when she suggested it."I am serious, Phil. An

"Do you trust me now?" Anthony asked after the result was out. He had passed the lie detector test.Faith looked down and nodded. She always believed in him and didn't want to accuse him of anything, but she felt this matter was too serious to ignore.Anthony moved forward and nuzzled against her neck. "If there's anything else you want me to do, I'll do it in a heartbeat. Just don't leave my side."Faith didn't say anything. She was starting to feel guilty for doubting him and questioning his intentions."So the results came out negative, huh? You think that makes you innocent?"She was startled to hear Phil's voice. How long has he been watching them?"I think you've overstayed your welcome, Phillip. Why don't you pack your bags and leave us? Thanks for visiting," Anthony said curtly. Faith felt his hand squeezing hers. He was getting angry again."I'll leave but not before I get what I need. She is naïve enough to fall for you

Anthony didn't know what to say at first. A strange young woman was hugging him like they'd known each other forever. He had no idea who she was, but he could kind of guess. She looked just like Faith."Eh...who are you?" he cleared his throat and pried her off of him.The girl grinned ear to ear. "Faith, tell him!"Faith giggled, and Anthony snapped his head toward her. He had never seen her smile like that. She was radiant. This girl made her this happy? Why couldn't he do it too? He felt a bit jealous."Um...Anthony. This is my sister, Jodie. She lives out of state. I told you about her, remember?" Faith said."Ah," Anthony still didn't know what to say. He searched his brain to remember anything about Jodie, but Faith didn't exactly talk about her much. He did remember Faith having an estranged sister who was in medical school."I came to see my older sister. She is like a mother to me, so I hope you don't mind my intrusion. I promise I'll get out of your hair in a few days," Jodi
