All Chapters of Always My Sister, Not Me: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Michael “And what do you mean by that?” I demand an answer from her. The words just comes out of my mouth and I don't intend to take it back. “It's exactly what you just heard me say.” Matilda looks at me and shrugs like she's just said something normal. Why is she acting like this after what happened between us this morning? “I am so happy for you, sister. You deserve it.” Seraphina says while hugging me from the side. Matilda smiles. “Thank you, Seraphina. I feel good for a change and it's all thanks to someone else appearing in my life.” Her eyes glances at me briefly before she turns back to look at Seraphina. “And who is this someone else that's appeared in your life? A lover?” I clench my teeth as the words leave my mouth and I feel my tongue bitter. She couldn't be fucking doing this to me right now. “That's none of your business.” She tells me straight away and then her phone vibrates. She looks at her phone and she smiles again. No screw that word, her face lights up lik

MichaelTrying to climb a wall and wanting to get inside Matilda's bedroom window while hugging a dusty old pipe so I don't fall and break my skull isn't something I thought I would ever do in my entire life.If only Matilda chose to answer my calls or reply to my messages. I wouldn't be this desperate to see her and tell her how I feel by climbing a wall. She was trying her best to avoid me and skipped coming to my office today.It's a bit dark outside so I'm safe, I believe. I don't think anyone would see me and call the cops. I wouldn't want to end up behind bars for even just five minutes.“I never even have to do this when I came to visit Seraphina,” I mutter but then it has always been easy with Seraphina. I didn't have to hide and sneak around just to see her. Our relationship was known to everyone but now that I have fallen out of love for Seraphina and I have fallen in love with Matilda, things are about to get complicated. The last thing I would want is to put two sisters ag

Matilda I shake my head, trying to dispel all of the wrong scenarios that might happen if I think Michael is about to say what I think he's about to say. I walk closely behind dad in the hallway. I try not to seem affected because I just don't want to be responsible for what might happen downstairs. Sandra is all smiles and she's biting her nails out of sheer curiosity of believing that Michael is here to propose. She looks at me and I quickly return her gaze with a wide smile on my face. I don't want to seem nervous so I just act normal as best as I can. From the pillar which is next to the stairs, I'm able to see Michael in the living area. Mom is also standing in the living area and Seraphina is next to Michael, clinging to him again like a koala. Seeing the two of them together makes me feel weird but even then I wouldn't like them to separate for any reason and especially if that reason is me. Michael catches my gaze and I hold my breath for a second. A mortified gasp escapes

MatildaI try to pretend that what had happened back at the house didn't just happen. I focus on my tasks once I reach the office. Thankfully, I arrived just in time to see all of the project files which Denise had sent all lined up in my email on my computer.I don't have much time before tomorrow. I only have about less than twenty-four hours to make a full report and presentation for the investors that are also a part of this project. This is huge and our company will definitely return back to what it was. And yes, Michael, Grace and Crisanto will also be showing up to the meeting tomorrow.I try to focus, to get things done on time. I trust Aria with the annual reports so I don't really worry about that. I get to work by scanning all of the files I hadn't crossed checked yet. Dad storms into my office when I'm working and he's of course not smiling.“Why did you have to leave like that? In the middle of your sister's celebrations.”I look at him and I try not to even think that he

Michael “Don't you think you overdid it this time around?” I groan as I lift the two heavy twenty-eight kg dumbbells with two of my hands in mid air. “What are you talking about?” I ask Daniel but I don't look at him because I'm focused on balancing myself while holding the weights in my hands. Daniel wipes a sweat off his face with his towel that's hanging over his neck. “I'm talking about the dating app, bro. You opened a fake account under the name Miguel Aros just to keep tabs and spy on Matilda. I call that outright psycho stalking.” “Relax, Danny boy. You know I will never hurt my Matilda. It's a stragedy I invented because I want to know what she's doing and who she sees. All of the time.” I explain to him before taking short but quick breaths as I start to move the dumbbells into the air while I'm laying on a stretcher. I feel my muscles build up and bulge out. “And you think she would trust in a complete stranger? Come on bro. Matilda isn't stupid.” Daniel says before he
