2025-02-12 22:36:38Austin had a mischievous grin on his face as he approached his brother and his friend. "Wow! Look who's back to his house. I thought you're never coming back to your house again. Do you know how many times I've come to check up on you? Even your number never goes through. Well, I know that you blocked my number so it's not strange."
He strode towards where the men stood and settled on the couch.
"So tell me bro, where the heck have you been? To be honest, I was thinking of coming to take over your estate because I thought you're never coming back again."
Tilting his head, he saw the look on Prince's face and started laughing.
"Hahaha, Bro, you need to see the look on your face. You know that I'm just joking. You're my only family and I wouldn't want any harm to befall you."
Prince angrily clenched his fists as he glared at his wayward brother. He knew that Austin didn't really care about him. He would hurriedly come and take over all his assets if anything were to happen to him.
"Austin, what are you doing here? I already told you to stay in your house. I got the house for you so you can give me some privacy in my own house. I don't want you coming here. Now get up and leave my house."
Prince charged at his brother. He wanted to drag him up when George held him by the arm. "Calm down Prince and learn what he came for. Maybe there's something important that he wants to say to you."
"Thank you George, it is you who understands me. My brother doesn't even get me. He never wants to see me with his eyes." Austin was speaking when George shut him up.
"Will you keep quiet? You've decided to make yourself a stranger to your brother. You are supposed to be by his side as the only family he has. Instead, you chose to follow a path that has no future and destination. I will advise you
to retrace your step Austin. You're not on the right path." George reprimanded him but he was unfazed.
Austin just rolled his eyes at him and started humming while looking around the place.
"You're just wasting your time by trying to advise the young man. He's never going to listen. Do you know how many times I've tried to advise him? Since he came back from a school he didn't even graduate." Prince was angry that his brother had to show up there at that time. He could not choose another time to come. He had Lara and her cohort to deal with. Now his brother was adding to the list. His own younger brother had decided to make life difficult for him.
Austin angrily banged on the couch and stood up. His face ruffled into a frown, he opened his mouth to speak.
"I haven't come here to banter words with you dear brother."
Prince balled his fists, he was trying so hard to control himself so he wouldn't leave a punch on Austin's face. Austin was his younger brother and fighting with him meant he was bringing himself very low.
"You know what I came here for. Hurry up and settle me so you can have your peace and privacy. Who even wants to stay here with you." Austin was now fuming.
"What is it that you came here for? I've already made all the arrangements and you know where to get it from. You're not supposed to come to me for it. I don't want to always see your pathetic face so don't come here ever again. Now leave my house." Prince angrily blurted out.
George was confused. In fact, he was lost because the brothers seemed to be speaking in some sort of riddle. He just stood there, his gaze shifting from one brother to the other.
"What are you guys talking about? Prince, what did he come here for? Is it something I should know or is it just between you brothers?" George asked with his hands spread apart.
His eyes were fixated on Prince as he expected him to give an answer. However, Prince didn't say anything so he just stepped aside and went outside.
"Look, Austin. Just go back to your house. I'll instruct my assistant to send your money to you. Have I not been sending it before? Maybe the person in charge forgot to do so." Prince tried to settle the matter calmly.
Austin was a blabbermouth and he didn't want to have any problem with him.
"You better keep to your own end of the deal or you know what will happen next." Austin angrily blurted out before starting towards the door. He stood right before the door and turned to glare at his brother. Taking out a pair of glasses from his pocket, he put it on and flashed Prince with a triumphant smile. "See you soon, dear brother. You know I'll always love you regardless of anything."
Austin bid him farewell with a wave and dashed out of the house.
Angrily, Prince kicked the couch and winced in pain. Settling down on it with the leg on the other, he began to nurse his leg that he kicked at the couch.
"Are you ok Prince?" George hurried into the sitting room when he heard Prince's voice. Two of his security men followed behind.
"Boss, Are you ok?" One of the men asked and Prince glared at them. They didn't need anyone to tell them to leave immediately.
Running towards the man on the couch, George asked him. "What happened? Did you hurt yourself?"
Prince shook his head and sighed before standing up. Spreading his arms wide, he said. "Look at me and the enviable status that I've attained. With just a command from me, things are done the way I want them. I produce best selling movies and people can do anything just to see me or know who I am. However, my own brother is trying so hard to bring my efforts down the drain. How did I go wrong by having such a brother? What haven't I done to improve his life? Yet, he keeps being torn in my flesh."
Prince was so angry at his brother. If it weren't for the blood relationship they had, he would have dealt with him a long time ago.
"What happened Prince? What did he say?" George enquired, concern evident on his face.
"He's been blackmailing me."

"What! Since when? I know that he's your brother but you need to involve the police if it's serious. Maybe they can teach him a little lesson and he'll turn away from his mischievous ways." George said in a little raised voice, he was still wondering how Prince and Austin became brothers. The guy was the opposite of Prince.If he hadn't stuck around Prince for sometime, he would not have believed that the young man was Prince's younger brother."I'm just going to give him what he wants so he doesn't expose my identity to the public. You know how much I enjoy my privacy and wouldn't want the world to know who I am. I'm not ready for that kind of life. Moreover, I don't want Lara and Kyle to know yet. I'm going to deal with them until they come crawling on their knees." Prince explained the situation and George quickly got the point."I think I understand you. However, you have to do something about your brother or he'd be your bane."***Kyle had slipped out of the engagement party wit

"Have you seen a guy this handsome? Look over there and see that beauty. That guy is the cutest I've ever met and he's got the body." Molly was lusting after Prince and biting her lower lip seductively. She patted Avery's hand who immediately agreed with her."Yeah, you're right. Even though he's just Lara's PA, I'm going to jump him. I don't care about his status because he sure looks like one who would give me the satisfaction I want. I can just pay him off afterwards." Avery was one to hit the nail on the head and never minces words. Being the one with more action, she made her move and went over to the place where the couple sat with Molly following behind. Pulling out a chair, Avery settled in it and placed her script by the side, her eyes fixated on Prince. The man, on the other hand, was uncomfortable with the gaze on him. Turning his face, he directed his gaze elsewhere. They were at a movie location and he was just doing his job as Lara's PA. Yeah, Lara was his wife and a bi

Turning around, Prince's gaze met with a man who looked familiar. He was still puzzled as he could not make a thing out of what was happening. It's got to be a dream. Yeah, he was surely dreaming.With furrowed brows, Prince turned around to gaze at Lara. He suddenly started laughing to everyone's astonishment."It's a prank, is it not? There's no way that this is true. We are husband and wife so the baby should belong to us." Prince was still in doubt when Kyle walked over and held Lara by the waist. Angrily, he rushed over to attack the man but Lovelyn stood in his way."I dare you to lay a finger on him."Prince ignored his mother in-law and continued towards the man whose hands were still wrapped around his wife's waist. However, Lovelyn ran to his front and gave him a resounding slap. "What do you think you're going to do? You think I'd let you attack my worthy and prospective son in law."Stopping in his tracks, Prince lifted his hand and massaged his face that had turned red f

Still in shock, Prince tilted his head and stared at the paper on his hands. He still could not believe his eyes. If it wasn't happening before him and to him, he would have thought that it was a movie. It was like one of those things he sees on the screens.He lifted his face and his gaze fell on the man who was going to take his place. Wait! He had already taken his place. As soon as he appended his signature on the paper, everything would be over. His eight month marriage would be gone. All the sacrifices he had made for Lara and his in-laws. Sometimes he wondered what it would have been if his father in law was alive. Would he have acted like the women and treated him like sh*t because he was a pauper?His mind wandered back at the time when he met Lara. She sounded like a lady of great virtues. One that kept refusing to sleep with producers just to get a movie role. Alas, not all that glitters is gold. Prince hit his forehead hard with his left hand as he paced around the place.

Kyle took the opportunity to taunt him more. He stopped nursing his wounds and held Lara by the waist. Pulling her closer to his body, he planted a kiss at her lips. "Honey, we're going to have the media itching for more of the juicy news because our names would be on everyone's lips. You will be the envy of those colleagues of yours who have been chasing after me but could not get closer. They'll all watch me place the trophy in your hands. Hahaha.""Ofcourse, you're the best my dear Kyle and my daughter deserves the best. Not some dumb pauper who has wasted eight months of her life. I'm glad that it's over now." Lovelyn chipped in.Crystal had been without a word, she just sat at the couch watching all the drama. She suddenly stood up from her chair and walked towards the door. Opening it, she said.

Prince slid into the car, settling at the passenger's seat. Letting out a deep sigh, he lifted himself and checked out his face in the mirror. He had a black eye and his forehead was swollen. If it weren't for his shirt that shielded his bare body, he would have had more bruises. However, that didn't stop his body from aching him. Kyle had struck him a few blows at his stomach and chest. He'd admit that the guy was quite tough because the fight lingered on with no winner. If Lovelyn hadn't ended it by slapping him on the face, they would have fought for a long time until there was no energy left for them to continue.George stood outside for a while as he pondered on what Prince just said.
