All Chapters of Too close brother : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Jennifer sat stiffly across from Paul, her fingers pressed tightly against the table as she held back her temper.“You told me you would handle it,” she said in a low, sharp voice. “Vivian might be returning to the Holloway mansion soon.”Her eyes burned with anger. If that happened, she might lose the place forever.“I risked a lot getting you out of prison. And for what? To have you fail me?” she questioned.Paul leaned back in his chair, his jaw tightening. “That’s because of your son,” he said. “He’s always around her. I can’t get close without being seen.”Jennifer’s expression darkened further. “That’s no excuse.” She leaned forward, her voice cold. “Do you really want revenge on Vivian and her daughter for putting you in jail?”Paul’s eyes hardened instantly. Something dangerous flashed through them. “More than anything. I’d risk my life for it,” he vowed.Jennifer held his gaze for a short moment. “Then find a way,” she said.She reached into her bag, pulled out a thick envelo

The bathroom was filled with steam. Hot water poured down over Katrina’s shoulders, over her hair and her trembling hands. But she couldn’t feel the warmth. All that she could feel was Paul’s breath against her skin. His hands gripping her, his lips brushing the back of her neck. Her stomach twisted violently. The water kept running and she grabbed the sponge with desperate energy. She scrubbed hard, her arm moving fast across her skin, to her shoulder, her neck, her collarbone, every part that he had touched. She scrubbed again, and again, and again while murmuring blindly. “I’m not dirty... I’m not dirty...” Her movements became frantic. Faster and rougher. The sponge dragged harshly against her skin, leaving angry red marks behind. Despite the heat burning, the friction burning, she didn’t stop. She scrubbed her neck where he had touched her. Over and over until her skin turned deep red, sensitive, almost raw. Even when her breathing grew uneven, as her hands trembled,

Katrina struggled a bit with the exam. She even felt drowsy at a point but managed to keep herself busy. Who knew psychology would be so difficult? She had missed quite a bunch of classes and even tests.If she failed the exam, it would be bad for her result. Luckily, some of the notes Jace had revised with her were on the exam paper.After a long while, she finally raised her head to submit her paper and realized she was the last one sitting. Everyone was gone; the professor**'s** assistant was the only one waiting for her to finish.“I didn’t rush you because it seemed you knew what you were doing,” he said as he took her paper.Katrina nodded gratefully and walked out of the class. Her eyes immediately searched for Jace, and she took out her phone to quickly text him.She had barely typed the words when she sighted Yasmin approaching and hurried to disappear toward the opposite direction, afraid she was with Paul again.Katrina managed to make it outside but bumped into someone, an

Lexi appeared behind the pillar, stopping Yasmin, who was a bit stunned but quickly put on a pretense. She crossed her arms, smirking.“I saw everything,” she told her, gesturing to the pool where Yasmin was coming from.Yasmin also crossed her arms. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”Lexi’s smile widened. “An enemy of an enemy is always a friend, they say.”“How much? For the video,” she let out.Yasmin was a bit surprised. She thought Katrina was part of their clique now. Turns out she isn’t the only girl who wants Katrina gone.“I’m guessing this is because of Jace,” she said, studying her carefully.Lexi’s expression didn’t change. Yasmin also smiled and took out her phone to send the video to her.She watched the video, and her lips curled. Lexi looked up and exchanged a slow, malicious smile with Yasmin.The waves crashed loudly behind them. They both ignored the desperate voice of Katrina crying for help.--Jace looked around in a heartbeat and didn’t see Katrina. He q

Katrina and Jace sat in front of Vivian, who was astounded by everything she had just heard.She had no idea her baby was going through such an ordeal. She thought maybe Paul hadn't made good on his threat.Vivian's eyes flashed quickly to Jace, then back at Katrina, trying to figure out if Katrina had told him all about what happened five years ago."He knows everything, Mum," Katrina answered before she could ask.A low exhale escaped Vivian, and her expression softened. "Thank you for protecting Katrina," she said gratefully.She had always failed at the job of protecting her. She couldn't believe her past mistakes had caught up with her again."First, we need to make a report," Jace said, and both ladies flinched, looking nervous.He understood their fears, the repeat of what happened five years ago. But this time, he was going to protect them.Margot walked in with two officers behind her, dressed in casual clothes. She didn't say a word and left almost immediately."Hello, I'm O
