Novel & Cerita Lover Brother

asked Uncle Danial once the waiter had left. I nodded my head confidently. I saw Uncle Danial blow air roughly out of his mouth. He gave me a doubtful look, then pushed a photograph taken from his wallet towards me. I stare deeply at the photo. A pair of small children smiled through their teeth at the camera. They looked very happy there. I drew my eyes from the photo to Uncle Danial. Obviously the middle-aged man understood my questioning gaze. "The boy in blue is your brother, Axe. The one next to him is my favorite daughter, Isabel. They grew up together like siblings. Although both are cousins." Uncle Danial began to tell the story.

"I know. But you have to understand, Tom sees this as a betrayal. Slade has been given everything—every opportunity, every advantage—and he chose to use it to hurt someone." "Slade didn't hurt me." "He admitted he bullied you." "He was..." I struggled to find the words. "He was confused. He was angry. But he's not—he's not a bad person, Mum. I know he's not." Mum studied me for a long moment, her eyes searching my face. "You care about him." It wasn't a question. I looked away, my cheeks burning. "He's my stepbrother. Of course I care about him."

My dad commented, dragging me out of my thoughts. "I didn't expect to show up." I managed a smile, hoping that my voice doesn't betray the hurt I'm feeling inside. "You know me, always doing what's shocking others." I shrugged. "Yeah, it's your thing, even if you make others uncomfortable." Rolland clenched his teeth. I laughed, wondering when my older brother will stop being such an ass and finally understand I really don't care too much for him and his antics. "You seem angry I came for your wedding," I straightened, "didn't you want me here?"I challenged.

“Congra fucking lations baby sis! Come home after work, we need to celebrate this okay?” “Yeah sure, I’ll get drinks.” “Nah M, I’ve got dinner and drinks covered, just come home after work, have a great day today, love you.” “Okay Lu, have a great day, love you too.” My jaw tightened, the excitement in his voice, how he sounded genuinely happy for me, his sister, made my stomach twist. The feeling of guilt came rushing back. Sleeping with the man my brother was in love with, all the emotions I had suppressed resurfaced, and I hated myself for ever betraying him.

type. Ethan pushed off the doorframe and walked over, hands in his pockets. He stopped just behind me—close enough that I could feel the warmth coming off him, smell that stupid woodsy cologne he always wore. “It’s Aaron’s,” he said quietly, like he was letting me in on a secret. My stomach did a slow, sick flip. “Aaron?” I repeated, turning just enough to look at him. “As in… your Aaron? The one who moved to Barcelona last year?”

When she saw her brother coming toward them, Mia ran, arms outstretched, and jumped into his arms. “Hey, Mama Mia,” Blake said, smiling as he hugged her tightly. The moment he set her down, she doubled up her fist and punched him as hard as she could in the shoulder. “Ow! What was that for?” “That was for interfering in my love life,” she announced, then flung her arms around him again. “And this is for loving me enough to watch out for me like that.” Her message sent loud and clear, she entwined her arm through her big brother's and together they strolled back to the group.

"Hunter, from now on, I'm your older brother. Now, aren't you going to hug your big bro?" His gentle expression hid a subtle provocation. My whole body went rigid. I gripped the plate so hard my knuckles whitened, and I was speechless. One teased, "Hey, Rowan. Is Hunter now your brother-in-law or younger brother?" The other joked, "And are you guys actually sharing a wife?" Lorraine's face darkened instantly. "Zip it!" She turned to me. "Hunter, he's your brother now. You might not be used to it yet, but at least save him the embarrassment. Come on, acknowledge him, or they won't stop poking fun at him."

He winks. My blood boils, his words sound normal, composed, but it's almost a threat, an invitation to rebel. Im not taking it. Once is enough. I’m going to ignore his existence from hereon out, and maybe just maybe he’ll give up on pestering me. “Wow,” Arielle sighs. “Protective stepbrother is a serious understatement.” I force a shaky laugh. “Don’t worry about him, he’s just a pain in the ass.” “Aren’t all brothers? I have four.”

“You’re such a liar, Henry. When it counted, the first person you thought about was me! Let’s see how you’re going to deny that now.” “That’s because we’re brothers!” “Brothers? Nah, I’m your lover.”

My room was still dark, and Dad was sitting on the edge of my mattress. “Luca, are you awake? Listen to me,” Dad said, his voice low. “School is fun. A lot of things will compete for your attention, but I need you to promise me something. No matter what, you will always look out for Lovie. She is your younger sister.” I nodded, my eyes still blurry. “I promise.” “And Aaron,” Dad continued. “Aaron might not be related to you by blood, but he is your brother regardless. You two need to stick together.”
