Semua Bab My obsessive brother in-law: Bab 21 - Bab 30

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

Varda's POV"What do you think my relationship with Alex was like?" Stephen asked, he paused to choke out a hysteric laughter and raised a brow at me. I shrugged in response. "How would I know that? I and Alex dated for years but I never for once saw you at the mansion, I never even knew Alex had a brother until his death so I am just wondering where you have been all these years and why you chose to leave?" I asked. Stephen sighed in response, he settled back on the bench and rubbed his palms together. "It is more complicated than you think and I am not sure I want to talk about it." 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

Varda's POVLast night, I could not stop thinking about Stephen. Not even for once did my mind ever rest. Stephen kept popping in my mind and even worser in my dreams. I knew exactly what that meant but I wanted to deny the fact that I somehow had feelings for Stephen, I mean why would I do that? It felt like betrayal to be honest. Although Alex may have not been the best fiance in the world but one thing I was confident about was that he did not deserve this, not even the cruelest person in the world did. Plus this was not the life I wanted to live for myself, I never imagined a life as a prisoner or should I say wife to my own brother in law whom I knew absolutely nothing about. Worse of it all was that Stephen was an excellent liar, his words were never true, he loved twisting his words and making it seem like he was telling the truth when all of that was just a big fat lie. I sighed heavily and rubbed the back of my neck in frustration. Even with all of Stephen's dirty and annoyi

Varda's POVWhat important thing did Stephen have to say? Also, why was I feeling anxious over that? I was afraid that perhaps he was going to scold me in front of Asher and his lovely wife, Fransisca. Maybe he had picked offense in our conversation yesterday and he wanted to address it? My goodness i was so afraid that I wished the earth would just open up and swallow me right now. I could not really explain how I was feeling, however it was not a good feeling at all. I turned to Elisa and cleared my throat. "Do you maybe have a clue on what he wants to talk about? Does it have something to do with me?" I asked. Hopefully Elisa would maybe be able to brief me on what Stephen had to say so that I would not be shocked by what he would have to say. I raised a brow at Elisa and she just sighed heavily at me and responded in her usual gentle tone. "This is why i did not want to tell you anyhing Varda, I just wanted to stylishly convince you to join them for breakfast." Elisa explained.I
