All Chapters of Twisted Ties: The Brother's Claim : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~Hannah~I can't stop thinking of what Nathan said at the party and at work. Today is exactly a week since I started work in the company. Lola is still a bị́txh and I really don't know what I would have done without Nathan's directions. I see him at work and my mood instantly lifts. On some mornings when Liam is in his moody son of a modafvcker state and refuses to drop me off, he surprises me and pulls up in front of the gate.It's usually a quiet ride filled with tension. I want to know what's going on on his side. But my heart is in a fast race half of the time with my head void of the words I actually want to say. And half the other time, he's on a call with a client. He's become even more quiet and he wasn't even talkative in the first place. Today, I really must ask him what he meant by those two contradicting sentences. Which one is it exactly: Somewhere far away or staring at her right now. The training center happens to be my best spot. But after waiting for over one hour,

~Nathan~I am not pained even though everyone else thinks otherwise. I really don't care about any awards or appointments. It was never my goal for returning to this damn Pack in the first place. I run into Jaxon as I'm going after Liam. I don't know where the héll he's taking Hannah to and I don't trust that lunatic. “Dude! not fair. You've been dodging my calls.” Jaxon complains standing in my way. “I'm sorry, man. I just have a lot of things on my plate right now. Can we talk later?” I look past him. Liam and Hannah had entered the elevator. I relax a bit when I notice it isn't just the two of them. “Like standing in a duel fight for your weak brother?”“Look Jaxon. I never planned that. It was at the last minute she made me do it. You know I really don't wanna get involved in this whole situation.”He glares at me. “You promised me.”I exhale. Jaxon is my best friend but heck he can be stubborn and whiny sometimes. He made me promise to stay off the whole Alpha elections proce

~Hannah~“Lady Cath wants everyone in the main house.” Clara tells me as soon as I return from work. I can already tell why. I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before Cathylene exploded. No matter how much she likes Lola, she won't shy away from this one. Everyone knows she's fond of Lola but now that Lola's private videos are out, people will want to see her reaction to it. I haven't seen the news yet but I can already imagine what the headlines will look like. Cathylene I know will do anything to protect it. I drop my purse and take off my shoes making a mental note to take a shower after I return. A hand grabs my waist from behind.I shriek on impulse defense but realise it's Liam. He pulls me back into the bedroom and begins to undress himself. My teeth grind, the realization hitting me quickly. “Your mother wants us to meet her at the main hall.” I grit, unable to stop the irritation pumping my veins.“It won't take long, baby.” He gropes my bréàst and buries his f

~Hannah~I stare blankly at the new set of makeup I just acquired with my first pay as an intern. My mind can't seem to focus on them. Suddenly Olivia jumps from her seat abandoning her painting. “Uncle Nathan!” she squeals. I raise my head to see Nathan, arms wide open, a big smile on his face, beckoning Olivia to jump in. Which my little girl didn't hesitate to do. She enjoys this—Nathan lifting her high in the sky and swinging her while she giggles until she's out of breath. He lowers her gently onto the gazebo platform. “How was school today?”Olivia shakes her head, her lips slightly twisting to the side. “Uncle Nathan, you don't know anything. We are on holiday.”Nathan grins. “Seems like it. So how's the holiday going?” Olivia scrunches her face. “Quiet and boring.”He laughs. “Quiet and boring? You are so smart. Who taught you those words?”Olivia makes a face and then goes: “Uncle Nathan, what do you take me for? I read a lot. I'm not a kid anymore.” A chuckle spills fro

~Hannah~“Brenda.”Of course I remember her. How can I forget? She's Nathan's closest friend other than Jaxon. The only girl I ever saw him with. Back then when I was dating Nathan and she hung out with him, I always felt this pang of envy. I'd never seen Nathan’s eyes take up such brightness each time he saw her. It's either Nathan probably don't see it or he pretends to not notice, but I've long known she has feelings for Nathan. It's so obvious from the way she looks at him. Her gaze lingers on him longer than a ‘best friend’ would. And now she's back. Just when I thought things were going to be normal again. As if I hadn't had enough pain jabbed to my heart, I see them kissing in the men's shoes section in the mall. Something fragile shatters inside me. For a moment, my legs freeze and my chest tightens so hard I feel a weight crush me. My legs move on their own and I find myself out of the mall in a flash. I run into the street and before I know it I'm on a track road I don't
