All Chapters of HIS BROTHER'S OBSESSION : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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 unco

ELENA. I got home or rather, Rhea's house with the last notes I had on me. It was dark already. My clothes were still stuck on my body, obviously, I didn't wait for them to be properly dried before putting them on again, and I was shivering from the coldness of the clothes. The house was empty, and I felt relieved. I didn't know how I would face Rhea after what she said to me. I slipped out of my wet clothes and padded into the bathroom. I let the warm water run down my skin while my brain decided to play tricks on me by reliving those hurtful words that were said to me by my best friend. I snickered. They were right, I was a leech. And maybe if I didn't solely depend on the both of them, they would've done something better with their money rather than feed a jobless grown-ass woman. Rhea was generous, what I should be feeling right now is sole gratitude. Everything felt overwhelming, and what I was feeling couldn't be eased by just warm water running down my body. I needed some

ELENA. He tilted his head to me, giving me a knowing smile. Caleb snuck to my side, sliding his hand around my waist. "What are you doing here? You didn't tell me you were in town." Caleb muttered. 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

ELENA. Realizing Kai was my only savior, I grabbed his shirt and moved behind his huge figure. "Come out here, you bitch!" Caleb shrieked causing me to flinch. "What are you doing?" Kai's voice was low but firm. "Do you realize this is a hospital?""And what the fuck are you doing here? Move aside, it's something between two lovers."I was shocked at Caleb's words, two lovers? He really was shameless. I left Kai and raced down the hallway until I was standing in front of the elevator. It opened and I got in, tapping furiously on the button until the doors closed. I sighed heavily and slipped down the wall until I was sitting on the cold elevator floor with my hands wrapped around my knees. My stomach hurt, my head hurt and my heart hurt even more. My eyes watered in that instant, and I sniffed and wiped the tears before they could slip from my eyes. I was done crying for Caleb, he didn't deserve my tears. He didn't even deserve me at all. Once the elevator dinged and the doors

KAISER. Her lips parted and joined for the next few seconds, her honey-brown eyes staring widely at me. This was the reaction I expected, or even more than I anticipated and I loved it. My eyes were fixed on her lips, which were pink and glossy. My gaze travelled downward before I could hold back. Her porcelain skin glistened under the morning sun. Just a little below--"Kaiser?" She called, pulling me out of my trance. She was finally able to say my name. It's the first time she's called me, and there was something about her voice and the way she called my name. I tilted my head, shrugging lazily. "Why are you looking so shocked? And it's sir to you, Miss. Elena.""I--" Her throat moved. "I'm sorry... Sir." Her eyes moved away from my face to the floor. A frown settled on my face when she averted her gaze to the floor. She wasn't comfortable enough to even stare at me. Did she think her getting this job was just mere luck? I'm the one behind it. I patiently waited for her to a
