I was up all night before that fucking marriage because of how messy the pieces of information those siblings have given me.They refused to give me more and said that that's all the information they could possibly give me.I raked my hair and changed into my suit when I saw the clock hitting seven. I'll go later. I'll take a nap for a minute.But...Due to exhaustion, I ended up taking a longer rest more than I planned. I rushed to the office as my mind was constantly being clouded by so many things to the point that I can feel helium filling my brain.The first thing I saw when I arrived was her eyes slowly getting filled with hope. My eyebrows furrowed when I saw something I hate. Her eyes. I hate her eyes."By the right and power vested in me, I now pronounce you, husband and wife." The judge said with a smile. "You may now kiss the bride."I nodded then faced her. I slowly leaned towards her. At that moment, I knew she wanted to back away but she seemed rooted on the ground. And

"Hey, man," He greeted after opening the door."Something new?" I asked.He chuckled then gave me a glass of wine. "Chill, Quel. I invited you here not to discuss something about your father-in-law and his daughters," He smiled. "I invited you here to relax."I eyed him suspiciously. "He didn't pay you to do this, did you?"He roared into laughter. "Alonso's fortune is nothing compared to ours, Quel.""It's just too unusual for you to invite a friend over. You're a busy man, are you not?""A busy man knows how to relax as well, Quel.""Well, not for you," I joked. "You just know how to relax when Iris tells you to."He scoffed. "Don't mention her.""I see," I nodded my head simultaneously. "You pushed her bitch button or did she push your asshole button?"He shook his head. "That damn Jasper did.""Oh, her suitor."He growled. "It seems like you're not worrying about your wife. Just to remind you, she can dump you anytime and choose River over you." He smirked and it was my turn to sc

"Just kidding, love. Don't be scared, I'm just right beside you." I said then proceed on trading seats with her.I took her hand and kissed the back of it. I held her hand tightly to assure her that she's not alone."Ladies and gentlemen, all cellular telephones and other portable electronic devices, such as CD players and laptop computers, must be turned off and stowed for departure. Thank you."I secretly followed her when she went out. Dame and Iris were right, I spotted suspicious men trailing behind her. One of them was about to pull out his gun when I shoot him at the back of his head.I wore my gloves then pulled him behind the buildings. It's damn good that there weren't any passersby.I killed the other two while being cautious around me."That was a clean performance," I froze on my spot when someone spoke behind me. "But too bad, You should be dead by now if it wasn't for the lady's wish.""Brandon, what are you doing here?"He laughed. "Helping you clean up the mess you ma

"You're too harsh on yourself.""I'm sorry." That's the phrase she's been mumbling in her sleep. She sounded like she's begging. Begging for forgiveness which is way too hard for me to understand.I can't understand what she's apologizing for when I know she doesn't have to.It's the world who owes you an apology, love. So please stop your tears now.I do not know how many times I have woke her up because she's been having nightmares all night. And every time she goes back to her sleep, she cries.Danm! Should I keep her awake until tomorrow just so I won't see her cry?I was about to leave her room when she wasn't having nightmares anymore when she grabbed my hand and held on to it as tight as she can."Don't leave," She mumbled.I sat on her bed then planted a feathery kiss on her forehead. "I won't. Restwell, love. You did a great job fighting today."I lied beside her then wrapped my arm around her waist.She scooted over then burried her face on my chest.I caressed her back and

"Fuck! Stop touching my wound, Iris!" I hissed in pain when she touch it again."Why? The sound of your agony is perfect. And I was the one who took the bullet out of your body. You should be grateful and pay me with fun instead of money," I looked at her with my jaw already on the floor. She just said the craziest thing."Dude! Do you mind stopping your sister?" Damon glanced at me for a second then just shrugged. He really has no plans of saving me from his psychotic sister.Iris stopped playing with my wounds after a minute or two which made me sigh in relief.She crossed her arms. "You should have called us when you were in trouble. It's a good thing you happened to turn to our property.""Yeah? And it's pretty unbelievable how that small house turned into something this big."Iris laughed. "That is what you call magic, Exiquel."I wasn't able to go home to my wife that night. Damon and Iris didn't let me and insisted I should sleep here even just for tonight. I can't call Athijha
