Brandon’s POV
.
“I swear to you, Bruce. I will surely have your head in my hand if you teach anything like that to Caro.”, I roared. Though, he explained that it was just an accident. It should have happened in the first place. He should have kept in my mind that she was in her learning phase and quickly caught any word.
“I know it is my mistake, but what can I say if she caught that word out of all the words.” Bruce tried to justify himself. He raised his hand in defense. “But I understand that I can’t excuse an excuse of that part. I promise not to curse or anything like that again in front of her.”, he added.
“So, what brought you here today?”
I didn’t answer him anything because there was no reason to do so!! He knew me so well.
“Why did you tell my past to Sophia?” I asked him, choosing to ignore his question.
“Because I can’t see you in pain, Mate. I know a part of you was prepared for her hatred when the truth would be out, but when the truth really came in front of her and when she said, ‘I hate to say that I love someone like you, Brandon. I trust you the most in life, and you did this to me.’ I…I smelt your pain. And knowing what kind of person you are, I wasn’t sure you would ever open your mouth about your past, so I did, and I don’t regret an inch. If you want to hang in the air again because of that, even in that incident, then you can do it because I won’t mind repeating the same thing again and again.”, he said with so much sincerity that I couldn’t dare to threaten him.
“But I still don’t understand that. Why doesn’t she hate me already? I mean, I killed her beloved brothers and soon her father and Oliver.”
“Even I’m surprised to say this, but if we are not planning to kill Sophia because she is innocent, then why is the need to kill Oliver? I know… I know I was also the one who wanted to kill Oliver, but a couple of things have been changed because of Sophia. The rest of the decision will be yours, but a part of me is telling me that if we will also kill the innocent people just like Ethan Weasley did, then what will be the difference between him and us?”
“And if we talk about Sophia’s hatred, then you both have the same reason because which you both can’t hate each other. Your love for each other has surpassed the hatred that you can have for each other. But, yes! I doubt the things will be the same if you dare to harm Oliver.”
“Leave this topic. Can we discuss work?”
“Yeah, sure! But after telling you one of the truths that are hidden from you.”
“Okay, I’m waiting.”
“When I was away from here for two hours at that moment, _________.” he narrated everything to me, and my claw clenched hearing me. I knew the reason why others hid this from me, but why did Sophia do this? Why didn’t Sophia tell me about it?
So, this was the reason why everyone was playing to Caro so that when I would find the truth, I wouldn’t punish them.
“Are you sure that no one touched her?”
“No. No one! Because that would have happened, then I would have personally ripped their head from their body, but I couldn’t smelt anyone else from her body, and she confirmed the same.”
“She could tell you but not me? Great. Just great.”
“You don’t have to be jealous. We both know that whom she belongs.”, He grinned. “By the way, she was just saving others from your anger.”
“I see. No one listens to me now.” We heard the voice of Iris. She walked inside with an envelope in her hand.
“Iris, if you wouldn’t have been my sister, then you would have been walking dead right now.”, I said bluntly, not hiding my hatred and anger because of the act she pulled.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“If you wouldn’t have been my little brother, then she would have been dead by now.”, She said with equal hatred in her eyes that she had for Sophia. “I came to know that you slept with her.”, She asked more like stated. “You are known as a man who doesn’t sleep with any woman. So, I thought if she is so good in bed with you, then what could go wrong if others too get a chance to taste her?”, She said nonchalantly while I had already planned to make her life a living hell. If I wanted, then I could have killed her right now, but I couldn’t because she had something very precious to me about which no one knew.
Not even Bruce.
Seeing her in this way, I knew what my mom gave me to her best friend, just the fact that she was my sister made me feel sick. I couldn’t imagine the behavior of my other family members in the house.
“By the way, you both might know that there is bad news for us.”
“Yes, the other two Weasley brothers are also in this. But I can’t understand how the hell DNA of both the sample matched?” I muttered, looking at Iris. Did she have anything to do with it?
“Don’t look at me in that way. I have to do nothing with it, but I guess Ethan Weasley has something to do with it because I spotted him in the city.”
“He is in the city?” Bruce asked in shock because he knew Ethan had said something else to dad. Did he lie to dad? Did he get suspicious of Dad?
“Where did you spot him?”
