Chapter 9 Janice POV I scoffed for the fifth time as I stood in the garden with my hands on my waist. The view here was supposed to be called beautiful, but I couldn't even think of that because of the shit going on in my head. "Ugh! That guy is a real bastard. So this wasn't because of me, but his brother? How could he get me involved, huh?" I mumbled and scoffed because all this doesn't make any sense to me. The sound of the footsteps behind me pulled my attention, and I turned to find the youngest brother. I mean, Chase. We have only talked a few times since I've been coming here even before I moved in yesterday. "Hi, sister-in-law," He smiled at me. I've noticed how different he was from every other person in the family. Unlike Connor, he smiled a lot, much more than Carl does too. "Oh, good evening," I greeted him as he came to stand beside me, and he nodded his head. An awkward silence assumed the atmosphere as we both stared into space. I was nervous and curious ab

Chapter 10 Janice POV 'Don't think of running away, for I will find you wherever you go' Those words kept driving me nuts that I couldn't even think of running away. Connor looked like he would be someone dangerous, and I didn't want him to do something nasty to me if he found out I ran away and managed to get his hands on me. Sitting on the bed in Connor's room and trying to think of a way out of this mess I was in, the sound of the knock on the door disrupted my thoughts, and I went to get the door, but I froze on the spot when I pulled it open and found Carl standing there. "Ca... Carl?" I called surprisingly, but he held my hand and dragged me out of the room. "Where are you taking me?" I asked as he dragged me down the hallway, but he didn't even bother to answer me until we got to the garden. "Janice..." He paused and caught his breath, running his fingers through his hair. "Why don't you want to choose between us? We were going to get married before he ruined every

Chapter 11 Janice POV "Who told you to go spend the night with my sister?" Connor yelled at me angrily as soon as he dragged me into his room and slammed the door behind us. I was still finding what to say to Claire when he barged in and dragged me out of there. "Do I need anybody's permission to do what I want?" I asked him, and he scoffed. "You really want to die, yeah? This is my damn house, my damn family, and everything here belongs to me. You can't act on your own without my orders. How dare you?" He snapped at me, looking like he was going to pounce on me, but raising his hand on me would definitely be the last thing he would want to do. If he dared to hit me, he will surely see the crazy side of Janice. "If you can't tolerate me, then fucking let me go! You can't keep controlling me simply because it's your house. I want to leave your damn house for you, so fucking let me go!" I was already losing it, so I couldn't hold it in anymore. I thought he was going to yell

Chapter 12 Connor Hughes "What did you say?" I pulled away from her and asked, arching my eyebrows, but she rolled her eyes and pushed me off. "I didn't say anything. I'm going to sleep," She muttered, heading to the bed, and I smirked. I watched as she lay on the bed and pulled the duvet to cover herself, facing the other side of the bed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I stared into space. Thinking about Carl made me scoff, the thought of him was driving me nuts that I wanted to strangle him to death instantly. I wanted to make his life miserable like he did mine years ago, I wanted to make him feel the pain I felt. Yes, what I did was extreme, but I would do more if I had to. Pushing all my thoughts away, I lay on the bed and pulled the duvet to cover myself. I had no idea how long I'd been asleep, but the sound of my ringing phone pulled me out of my deep slumber, and I reached out lazily for it, answering the call without bothering to check who the caller was. "Hey,

Chapter 13 "Where the hell is that bastard?" I quickly recognized the voice to be Janice's as she barged into my office, and I raised my eyebrows in shock. "What are you doing here, Janice?" I asked her even though it was obvious why she was in my office looking so angry as if she was going to devour me soon. I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was here because of Carl. There was a slim chance of her being here for something else. "What the hell was that? How could you do that to your own brother? Were you trying to kill him, huh?" She yelled at the top of her voice not caring she was in my office. "Hey! You are in my office, so you have to..." "Screw you and your damn office, jerk! I don't care what the fuck is between you and your brother, but doing that to him makes you nothing but a beast. You are nothing, but a monster!" She yelled at me with pure disgust written on her face, and I slowly clenched my fists angrily, glaring hard into space. I wanted to stay calm and not r

Chapter 14 Connor Hughes Dad stopped pacing and slowly turned to face me when I got to the lobby. Mom, Dad, Chase, Claire, and Janice were all together when I got there. Seeing the disappointed look on Mom's face made me feel bad. "Why did you do it, Connor? Why did you do that to your brother?" Dad yelled at me, enraged. He didn't care that we were in a public place where many people were present. He didn't care that his anger may end up getting our reputation messed up, but I guess this was all my fault. Only if I had controlled this emotion I called anger, then maybe this would've been avoided. "You don't keep mute on me when I'm talking, Connor. Why the hell did you do that?" Although Dad was a temperamental man, I have never seen him so angry before, and I understood that it was entirely my fault. "Dad..." "What are you going to say? You are sorry? Will your sorry turn back what you have done? What the heck has come over you? How could you do that to your brother?" Even thou

Chapter 15 Connor Hughes "Are you out of your mind? Why would you even do something like that?" Khan shrieked when he heard what happened, but I only rolled my eyes at him sarcastically, sinking into the couch. Spending the whole day frustrated wasn't for me, so I called him a few minutes ago and asked him to meet me at the club where we usually have a nice time together. I'm glad he showed up for me as always. "It wasn't my fault, Khan. Come to think of it, he started the fight. Why would he come to confront me?" I scoffed, trying to prove my innocence to him, but it seemed like no matter what I tell him or how I presented it, he would still end up blaming me for what happened, and it was really annoying. "Even if he started it, you shouldn't have done that. You fucking destroyed his eyes, and because of what you did, the doctor said he won't be able to see ever again. Are you happy to see your brother like that?" He insisted, and I rolled my eyes. Who cares if he loses his sight?

Chapter 16 Janice POV Coming home late from the hospital, I thought I would meet Connor at home, but it has been hours since I came back and he didn't seem like he was going to come back home anytime soon. I didn't want to call him, but worried that something must've happened to him, I picked up my phone and dialed his number, but it rang and he didn't answer his phone. "What happened to him?" I mumbled, dialing the number again, and this time, someone answered the phone from the other end. I wanted to ask why he was not back yet, but the voice I heard made me freeze on the spot. "You're done bathing already?" Came a feminine voice from the background, and my eyes narrowed. "Yeah. We don't have all the time in the world, so let's get to business," He sounded seductive, and I scoffed unbelievably. I thought he was in danger, but damnit! This bastard got his brother into a mess and now he was out there with another woman? This is so unbelievable. I ended the call and tossed my pho
