Novel & Cerita Elder Brother

His smile was more natural this time, less performative. “So,” he said, crouching slightly so he could be eye-level with them, “like your mama said, I’m Antonio. I’m your uncle—your dad’s older brother,” he announced. Tessa blinked slowly, digesting the information, while Hardin’s expression hardened. From where Eros sat, he let out a quiet scoff. “Older brother,” he muttered under his breath with a crooked smirk, just loud enough for Adriana to hear. Adriana ignored him, watching closely instead.

People who believed time itself had chosen them. They sat in a half circle, arranged to make you feel small. I did not bow. “Mason Wells,” the head elder said. “You stand before us under concern.” “Then speak it plainly,” I replied. “I’ve earned that much.” A murmur moved through the room. “You have hidden matters from us,” another elder said. “Personal matters that affect the balance.” “My family is not a weapon,” I said. “Everything is a weapon,” the head elder replied. “If used poorly.”

"You've had seven years of time, Elena. How much more do you need?" The door behind me creaks. I whirl around, but it's too late. Maya stands in the doorway, her pink beanie askew, her tiny hand gripping the frame. "Mommy? I'm hungry." Marcus goes completely still. I watch his eyes move from me to Maya, from Maya to me. See the confusion, then the dawning realization. "Elena." His voice is barely a whisper. "Who is this?" I close my eyes. "This is Maya." The words feel like stones in my mouth. "Maya, this is... this is your uncle. My brother, Marcus."

He taught them every day for a day like this. “Welcome, triplet princes.” One of the elders greeted. They sat at the seats reserved for them, looking directly at the elders. “How are you guys?” Asked one of the elders. “We are fine, sir,” Nathaniel responded. His brothers rolled their eyes, a frown on both their faces. Gabriel and Caleb were alike sometimes. They were both stubborn and got angry easily. Nathaniel was the soft one, he complimented their wrath. “You know what you are here for right?” Asked the elder and Nathaniel nodded his head.

I nodded again, "very much, mom." "And now he wants to apologize." Mom stated this as if she were making a list of all the facts she was gathering. "Apparently so." Mom turned to Elora, "what is your brother like?" Elora smiled, "He is very blunt, funny, and a bit wild at times. But he means well. He just doesn’t always think before he talks and can be very impulsive. But he’s not a violent person; he never starts a fight; he just ends them."

“Of course, I’m here to eat!” Skyler nodded distractedly and suddenly got up. “Brother, there’s something that I need to do. I’ll leave first!” Walter watched as began to leave in a rush. He said in irritation, “Visit home more if you’re free. Mother always nags me about you!” Skyler was stunned. He then nodded and said, “Alright, I got it!” After speaking, he turned around and left. That was right. Walter Keele was his elder brother. They had the same father and mother.

“I piqued your curiosity, didn't I?” He smiled broadly, approaching and placing his hands on the sides of the armchair, trapping me. I lifted my chin, maintaining our gaze. “The brothers never got along; I blame the upbringing... Elijah was diagnosed with schizophrenia, just like his mother. To make matters worse, a mass is growing in his brain. Despite the grim situation, he remains lucid in his decision-making at Forbs News Times. However, Celdric doesn't want to wait for his brother to go mad and has been fighting for power!”

“What do you mean by wishing them a happy married life? That's your husband-to-be!” “You mean one of them’s husband. Don't forget my daughter is also here,” Elder Julius said and I shook my head. Where did Lance get all these kinds of elders from? According to what I even heard, they are like his adviser. What kind of advisers are these? Grey hair indeed doesn't mean a wise person. “That's what I meant!” Elena's father yelled back at Elder Julius and I said to Lance so loud so that everyone would hear, “You know what I was thinking just now? I can imagine my father staring at these two fathers talking about his daughter's man being their daughter. It would be hilarious”

My brother was pacing with a massive grin, and his wife, Sarah, looked like she was vibrating with residual energy. ​"What's going on?" I asked, looking between them. "Did someone die and leave us a mansion?" ​Leo laughed, throwing a heavy arm around my shoulder. "Better! I just got a massive promotion—executive director for the European branch. We’re moving to Berlin, Jane! For three whole years!" ​My jaw dropped. "Berlin? Germany? Three years?" The excitement hit me first, but then reality crashed down. "Wait... what about me? My upcoming exams?"

'Then I'll go first. As soon as Elvis Sterling turned around, Aldrich Oliver slammed the door. Elvis Sterling looked back with a wry smile and had to leave. Kristen Oliver looked at Aldrich Oliver helplessly. 'Yobhel, fifth brother, he's here to be nice.' 'Little sister, you won't believe what he said.' Aldrich Oliver was furious. 'Have they done less evil things in the Green family? Can you believe their words? ' 'We all know Elvis Sterling's character, Yobhel, fifth brother, do you think Elvis Sterling is a bad person?'
