Why does she want to see me? Did I do something to make her so angry that she has to summon me so urgently?Questions ran through my mind and I watched as Alfred’s phone rang again and he picked it with utmost respect, turning his back on me to speak freely.“Alright, I promise we’ll be there as fast as we can.” Alfred said and I sighed as I waited for him to be done with his phone conversation.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help but feel nervous and scared that I had done something to get my sister angry.But what could I have done? There’s no way I’d done something so grave that she wouldn’t be able to forgive me for it.My heart pounded so hard against my chest as I watched Alfred give orders to the two bodyguards that were with us and with a bow of their heads, they made their way out of the hospital building.“What’s going on, Alfred?” I asked, doing everything in my power to keep my nervousness at bay but nothing I tried worked.“Why does my sister want to see me? Did I

Doing as I was told, I hurriedly got ready to meet my sister because I didn’t want to waste any more time and have her wait for me and soon I was ready to meet her.We got in the elevator and went to the top floor where my sister was supposed to meet us and I was surprised to see that she was already there, waiting.“Zade! Oh my god!” She called as soon as she saw me and came into my arms to give me a hug. She held me so tight that it felt as though she had no intention of letting me go.“I’m sorry I kept you waiting, ma’am.” I apologized like I was taught to and also because it was a part of me that I totally forgot for a moment that I was talking to my sister.“Ma’am?! I’m your sister, Zade, stop that.” She hurriedly cautioned with a sigh and I couldn’t help but laugh as I held her back and pulled away from her soon after.“I am so sorry for making you wait, I called you here last night and couldn’t see you until now, I’m so sorry.” She apologized before I could say anything.“Y—”“

She didn’t look like she was satisfied with what I’d just said and I watched as my sister sighed and thought about my proposal.“There’s still three weeks until the welcome party is ready and even if you’re used to treatment like this, I can’t stand back and watch my brother get treated like the bastard he’s not.”“I don’t want to wait until the welcome ceremony.” She went on and I opened my mouth to speak but she raised her hand to stop me.In the days that I’ve seen my sister, I’ve always known that she was always a go-getter and when she would agree to something, she seemed like the kind of person that gives it a good thought.I have my own reasons for wanting the reveal to be at the welcome ceremony and if only she would want me to discuss it with her.I wasn’t doing it because I wanted to be dramatic or because I needed an effect, I specifically wanted it to be at the welcome party because I would’ve met my sisters by then.Sighing, I studied my eldest sister’s face and she looke

I saw Jenna’s lips curl into a smile but the smile soon faded when Simon came to join us, I watched as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into him.Jenna looked away from me, her cheeks turning red as she did everything in her power to avoid eye contact but I only smiled.It would’ve been extremely stupid of me to keep chasing her after knowing that she would never choose me and if given the chance, she would choose Simon over and over again.“The wretched cleaner is here.” Simon announced amidst laughter but neither I nor Jenna found anything funny in that.I watched as her eyes darkened with a glimmer of anger but she didn’t say anything as she only buried her face on Simon’s chest.“I hope you’re going to concentrate on your job and not walk around uselessly like the wretched human being you are.” Simon sneered and I only nodded.He turned to face Jenna and I could hear the sound of my heart shattering. I wanted to move away but my legs seemed to have a mind of thei
