"Wh-Why are you doing this to me, Julian?" I asked, my voice trembling with rage and hurt.
His voice quickly softened as he pulled me into his arms.
"Are you mad, darling? Why would I do that to you? It's Deccan."
"That's why I'm telling you to come with me to meet Lesley and Deccan. Let's make up everything and solve the matter, alright?"
I looked up to meet his gaze, my sight blurred with tears as I asked, "What if I still don't come with you, Julian? What if I don't obey? What will happen to my brother then?"
My heart was trembling in my chest as if waiting to hear something terrific, and as expected, Julian's face immediately turned cold. He said.
"These men you just saw, have been in cells for years for being charged of rape and molestation. They have things for young guys, Laura. You won't be liking them to share bed with Liam every night, do you?"
My eyes were bloodshot, my heart filled with sorrow, and my nails dug deep into my skirt.
This was the man I had foolishly loved for five years, turning a deaf ear to the bad words my brother and Mags had said.
I had asked my brother to sell the house to help Julian, and told him I would help him when he succeeded.
Now, this was Julian repaying my brother. At that moment, I realized how foolish I had been. I fought the urge to slap him hard, controlled my trembling body, and said through gritted teeth,
"Okay! I'll go with you... apologize to Leslie and Deken. Don't bother my brother anymore."
"Come with me to meet the Kinley brothers and sisters. Once they see your sincerity, they'll make your brother's life in prison easier." He replied with a smile, a mask covering his cruel face.
In that moment, the man before me felt incredibly unfamiliar. But for my brother's sake, I had no choice but to endure it for now.
Two weeks. Just two weeks. Once I have evidence to prove my brother's innocence, I can completely get rid of this demon!
After we reached Kinleys' place, Julian completely left my side and stood next to Lesley, hugging her tight as he greeted her.
But, my blood boiled in rage when Deccan stepped closer to me. Pulling me intp his arms in front of Julian, he said, "It's good to see you here, Laura. You are looking as sexy as ever."
"Don't mind Deccan's words, Laura. He is like this always." Lesley had added.
