Semua Bab My obsessive brother in-law: Bab 21 - Bab 25

Varda's POVAfter my conversation with Elisa, for some weird reason I felt angry throughout the rest of the day. Maybe it was not Elisa that fueled my anger, it was the fact that Stephen had not given me a well detailed explanation on his relationship with Fransisca and Asher, it was like he just expected me to welcome and accept them with warm hugs. Some few minutes ago, I saw Stephen and Asher in the courtyard playing basketball, the happiness on Stephen's face was something I could not give him. So then this same question clicked to me again. Why was I here? What was my purpose being here? Why was he keeping me if he could be so happy around Asher and Fransisca? Why was he holding me captive like I added some sort of value to his life? I hated the way I felt but Stephen made me feel that way, rather inferior.I was sitting alone in the garden while staring at the dark clouds, I was lost in my thoughts until I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder. I was startled for a brief moment until

Stephen muttered.I scoffed in disbelief at him and shook my head in disdain. "Do you realize that you have done nothing but waste my time? You have not answered any of the questions honestly and not to mention, all you did was just make a joke out of everything when this is actually a very serious matter." I snapped at him. I suddenly felt anger rise in me and it was because Stephen had chosen not to gi

Varda's POVA deal? To help me with Alex's investigation? I could not help but choke out a hysteric laughter. I clutched my stomach tight and bursted into series of laughter. I laughed so hard that my stomach began to hurt. Her words were surprisingly too funny for me to handle. "Thank you so much for the good laugh tonight Fransisca, I really did need it. You can leave now." I pointed at the door once my laughter had eventually subsided. Fransisca scoffed at me, she had an ireitated look plastered on her face as she spoke. "What is so funny to you?" She snapped at me. I shrugged in response. "Just the thought of you, you Fransisca, helping me with Alex's investigation, very funny." I said with a very dramatic applaud for her.Fransisca rolled her eyes at me. "I said it was a deal so I am not exactly helping you without receiving something from my own end." Fransisca pointed out. I slowly nodded my head at her, that was true though. She was going to need something from me in return. I
