Knowing Brother Ep 121 Novels & Stories

Her glance at Brother was not. Something tightened in my stomach. Everyone was home. Everyone was attentive. Everyone was… watching. Were they preparing me for something? Or protecting me from it? “Uh… thank you,” I managed. But something felt off. Were they hiding something? Maybe about Brother’s health? “Vincenzo… I wanted to talk to you about something,” Brother said. And just like that, I was reminded of our unfinished conversation. Suddenly, the morning no longer felt peaceful. **

I looked back at the ground abd bit down on my tongue. "Piper," I said into the phone. "Your brother is on the balcony." "What?" "He's just standing there watching me." There was a silence on the other end of the line. Then, with a resigned exhale, she said, "Let me call him." "Piper…" "Two minutes. I promise." The line went quiet before I could even argue. I put the phone in my pocket. For a reason, I felt like I deserved the cold and whatever discomfort came with showing up on Eli Deering's doorstep and asking to be let in after what I had cost this family, especially Piper.

He asked me. "That was my mom." I corrected him and he frowned lightly. "It was?" He asked me and I nodded at him. "Yes, she told me right before we left." I told him. "I don't know, she's been acting weird lately." I told Cole and he nodded in understanding. "Maybe she found out that we're biologically brother and sister." I told Cole and he pulled his face in disgust. "Fuck no." He said and I laughed at him. "How would that even be possible?" He asked me.

This mother-son duo had no boundaries. Felix attempted to strike a bargain. "Mia, how about this? I won't pursue the matter of your brother hitting me, and you won't pursue my mom for pushing you. We'll call it even." "Who told you it was my brother who hit you?" Mia's tone remained indifferent. "I just found out it was my ex-husband who hit you, not my brother." Felix was taken aback. It really was Mia's ex-husband! Quickly, he tried to reason. "Mia, this is your family's business, let's just move on."

He just pulled out of the parking area and drove through the city. We eventually stopped at a quieter street and he cut the engine. A few people were walking and only one shop still had its lights on across the road. “Friday,” he said. “Yes,” I responded. He was quiet. “I’m not going to pretend it didn’t happen,” he said. I didn’t respond. “And I’m not going to behave as if it was a mistake,” he said. His words were quiet and measured. But his usual composure was missing underneath. “But I need you to know that I know what it means,” he said, finally looking at me. “Where we are. What this building is and what my brother and father are watching for.”

"What about your brother?" That snapped me out of it. Out of my pitiful wallowing. Ethan. I felt terrible about forgetting about him after Marie's death. But how did he know about Ethan. "Don't you dare touch him." I gritted out. "I won't-" His mouth twitched. "But I'm not so sure about my brother. The fact you survived, must mean you have become his prey. But I can protect you and your brother, if you do as I say." And with that, he started to walk away. I knew he was expecting me to follow him but I didn't trust him. And I didn't want to lose Ethan.

I wonder if he will. I sit down at the desk. I open my notebook to a fresh page. I pick up my pen. And I write, in my precise economical hand, the words I will not say to him until he is ready to hear them: The brother knew. The brother always knows. The question is what he does with what he knows.

"I know. Even if you don't say it, I know my brother is the father. I know you love my brother." "Is your brother going to be happy too? He might not like it when he finds out I'm pregnant." I said crying, and a little hysterical. "Tsk! Stop thinking like that." He said annoyed. Like he wants to fight me. "I know my brother. He lacks words, but I know he's all action." He said meaningfully. I didn't understand what he is really saying but my heart pounded faster because of it.

I hadn’t even considered how this might appear if our rendezvous was exposed. “You’re right; I didn’t think this through,” I said. “I know because you both were thinking with your dicks. I should tell my sister that you're taking dick up your ass,” Chief said. “You better think twice before fucking with my relationship. Don’t forget. I know some of your secrets, Chief,” I replied. “Wait, Chief's your brother-in-law? This is turning into an episode of Jerry Springer.” “How do you even know about that show? It was before your time?” Chief Leo asked.

Since the curtains were drawn open, my eyes fell on Mira and Katrina right away. " Ryan told us what happened," Mira said rushing in, Katrina just behind her. She may act like she hated her brother but she loved him dearly. I nervously looked at her, shifting on my foot. " I'm sorry I forgot to text you." I can't believe I was so distracted by Kaleb that I forgot to text his sister that he got injured. " It's fine, at least you're there with him." She smiled and brought her attention back on her brother. Her eyes drop to his ankle and she gasped. " Oh my God is it broken!?"
