I paced up and down as I looked at Roland, who was sitting on the couch with Carl. Well, I didn’t think him to be involved in this. Not this time. Carl knew a lot about my family than I did myself.But for him to know about me having a half brother was something I don’t think of him to know. Or maybe they told him because they wanted him to keep me safe like the rest.Though only Roland might know the whole thing. I looked at them both, but they said nothing to me. I have been asking Roland about him, knowing my brother existing, but he has been saying he knows nothing about him.What are the odds that my parents said nothing to him about this? Did he even tell mother about him having a son somewhere else? Did he even know this child existed?Frazer’s mother might have said nothing to father and yet told the man that his father left him. Make him hurt father and in turn he hurt me as well because in his eyes I took the old man from him.Maria and the rest just sat quietly. Watching me
I looked from one to the other, but their facial expression gave me nothing that will help me figure what the hell was going on here. What the hell might have happened for Roland to be scared of Dream and why she said it was a learning experience for her?They were also silent, like they knew it was killing me inside to find out what happened between them. But a part of me did not want to know anything about them. Because I had enough on my plate and I needed to attend to them as soon as possible. Mostly the grandmother situation. That old woman played her cards very nicely, and I was stupid to think otherwise. I was not going to allow her to win this game of ours.“Dream, you said you were going to help me with the grandmother's situation. And I expect you to do just that. Whatever the hell happened between you two, keep it to yourselves. Does it involve me?” I asked, keeping my options open if I was somewhat involved.She smiled but made me realize I was not to boss her around. She
We all sat in the living room for a while. Me trying my level best to reason with her and to make her understand Revoc was only trying to use her, and that was that. He will leave her when he gets what he wants. Which is to hurt me and nothing more.Mother-in-law and father-in-law also tried to help me with convincing her about what I was saying by the old woman was hell bent ongoing with Revoc.At some point, I thought the woman was under a spell or something. That Revoc used foe magic on her. But I sensed nothing about the magic in her. I guess all he had to do was tell her he loves her and he will spend the rest of his life with her.Desperation does indeed kill.“Listen grandmother, I know you and I don’t see eye to eye. But I’m telling you, my cousin is only using you. He hurts me enough to do about anything. Even if sleeping with you. For luck of better terms,” I added after seeing her expression, but went on. “I didn’t mean to do what I did to your company. I didn’t want to do
I looked at Frazer, and his face was filled with nothing but rage. Looking at me mercilessly. Earlier he was smiling and now this. I knew the smile was psychopathic, but this level he was at now was not okay.And to top it off, Carl and Joseph were still inside.“I thought I was clear about the time we were supposed to meet. And the place,” he spoke, walking towards us.I walked in front and moved both Carl and Joseph to the back.“I’m sorry about that. I was caught up somewhere. My in-laws can be a bit of a handful at times,” I smiled, then carried on. “We can proceed to the meeting place, shall we?” I gestured upstairs since it was the only way to the reverie.But he stood still. Still looking at me with dark eyes. Knowing how things have been with me and Revoc, I knew he wasn’t going to allow things to go easy.First, I was late for our meeting and now I allowed my family members to be present.Dammit.“Why are they here? I thought it was just going to be the two of us. You wanted
We sat at the round table for almost thirty minutes as we finally got on board. I tried to make sure this all thing goes my way. Because he was not here to play and he made sure I understood that. And if I allow him to take this as his plan, then not only will Revoc be the one getting hurt, but me and my family at large in the process.But even though my plan was to make him understand what was going on, he was still adamant about him taking the lead. And he constantly kept on reminding me that I was still was his enemy and there was nothing that will change that.I didn’t even want to press on that. Because truth be told, even though I wanted to patch things up with him, part of me still didn’t want him in my life. Having to share the little I have. Even though I didn’t want to allow that part of me to get over my feelings.Because he was still my brother and nothing will change that. And if he is on my side, then maybe I will spend less time on fighting. Maybe he might even help me
After some time, we finally finished talking. I told Frazer to help me with Revoc as soon as possible. But also tried to make it more clear that he will walk away with not everything he desired.I mean, me telling him he was going to get everything he wanted was me lying to him. Because deep down I knew I never wanted to give up what I have now. I’m not willing to share them with anyone.But for peace’s sake, I agreed to some of his demands for him to help me get Revoc out of my hair.“As I said before, I really wish we could have met in a different scenario than this. Us trying to fight things off because of money. I wish father didn’t leave you and that we got to know each other better. But such is life,” I spoke as I walked him to the door.“I don’t think it would have been possible either ways. I mean, we would have been trying to impress father and see who does it better so that he get more shares than the other. So, in one way or the other, life would have brought us here. And w
After realizing I might have a chance of getting out of the trap, I decided to just look at them. Listening to them saying whatever they felt like saying to me. To threaten me about killing my family members and the like.But even though I saw a glimpse of hope, I was still hearing nothing from my half brother. Maybe that bastard wanted this as well. I mean, I will be out of his way and he will get all the things he so ever wished for.I don’t know the man that much, but when he was around me, I could feel his magic radiating as powerful as they could. Ready to strike the enemy.“I know you can get what we are saying. Do you want me to prove to you I’m serious about them? That I will kill them if you don’t do what I asked you to?” Revoc asked as he looked at Carl. Then an orb appeared in his right hand.I called to Frazer again. Using up all the energy I had to make him hear me. But to no avail. Then I tried calling Hope and Thought. Since I had therapy sessions with them, they might
For the past month, I have been trying to recover from what happened. Apparently, me loosing my powers made me sick and weak on some level. So much so that I wasn’t even able to go to work or do anything about my in-laws.And for the whole month, Frazer and Joseph have been attending to the needs of the company. Telling me to just keep recovering while they handle everything.But I have to admit for the first few days of Frazer going to the company, I was terrified. Calling Joseph now and then to ask if the man was behaving accordingly. But he proved me wrong the all month.Nothing alarming or anything from him. He has been such an amazing brother, which was scaring the crap out of me. I mean, he came to get what he wanted. Came with nothing but rage burning in his eyes. Wanted nothing but to take vengeance for something I didn’t even know about.But after the night he saved me and my family, he has been here. Actually staying with me and my family. Threatening all together.I wanted
