Semua Bab HIS BROTHER'S OBSESSION : Bab 1 - Bab 5

ELENA. "I had no idea I was being replaced already." My voice was low. "You're getting it all wrong baby, I already have an assigned plus one. And you're not even working yet, so you won't be accepted." Caleb, my fiance said. I was confused. Since when did they start assigning plus ones for people? He had an event he was invited to, but he didn't want me to be his plus one. "Why would another lady be your plus one when you have me?" "You're misunderstanding everything. If I had everything in my control, I'll take you there. But my boss already assigned someone to come with me, and I can't go against his orders."I was silent. Angry but quiet. My chest felt uncomfortable, yet I asked. "Who's this person then?" "It's Rhea." He replied. I froze. "Which Rhea?" I asked after a minute of deafening silence. "Your best friend." He replied. His voice sounded lazy, and I could almost imagine him rolling his eyes. "Oh." That was all I could say. I didn't know if to feel relieved or unc

My face scrunched up in disgust, and I tried to move his hand from my waist but he was stronger. I was stuck in a dilemma, between trying to accept the fact that the person I slept with at the club last night was this man standing in front of me, who apparently is my fiancé's older brother. Or rather, my ex-fiancé. And trying to walk out of Caleb after breaking up with him. One thing was for sure, I didn't want to be in the presence of either of them. "Why are you staring at her like that?" Caleb asked again. "Do you know her?""Well, she does look familiar." Kai shrugged lazily, and the small annoying smile was still playing on his lips. My heart skipped when he said this. I gave him all the eye signals I could think of, winking, blinking repeatedly, I even tried widening my eyes an
