I adjusted my weight on the couch and released a sigh. “Can I ask you a question? And I want you to be completely honest when I do.” She smiled wearily. “Sure.” Her voice was shaky and it was clear that her nerves were acting up. And rightfully so. “Am I adopted?” “What?” She seemed shocked by my question. “Are you serious? Heather, why would you ask me such a question?” “Don’t you see why I’m asking? You shoved me into a contract marriage with a stranger; making me his property for four years, and all because of what?” I raised my voice a bit. “You had me believe that you and dad were going to go to jail if I did not sign the contract. You manipulated me!” “Just like she did to me,” Summer mumbled under her breath but I heard her very clearly. I wanted to ignore her but I could not bring myself to do that. “And what do you mean by that?” I glared at Summer. “Your mom manipulated me. I was not the one that killed Patty. Your mom did,” She said with a straight face. I inhaled s

I was in the passenger seat and Sterling was driving. Some jazz tunes played on the radio but it was at a low volume. The windows were rolled down and the wind blew in the car, causing my hair to fly backward. Since I cried into the arms of Sterling, I had not said a single word. And though my mouth may have been shut, my mind was doing all the talking. It was spinning faster than a tornado. After thirty minutes of driving, I reached for my phone to check the time and saw so many missed calls and texts. Most are from Samuel and the others from my dad. Mom may have told him the truth or maybe a washed-down version of it. “Would you like us to stop and get ice cream?” Sterling’s voice grabbed my attention and I looked up at him. “What?” I asked even though I heard him well the first time. “I asked whether you would like to get ice cream?” His voice was smooth and he did not take his eyes off the road. “I know a really nice ice cream shop not far from home. We could stop there.” He

The engine of the car was on and produced a small humming sound as Sterling and I sat in silence. Sterling had his head on the steering wheel and he waited for me to say something. “Look, Sterling. I’m mad too. I’m pissed that my mom would do something like this. But I’m also very shocked. I mean, I knew that she was not the perfect mother and could be manipulated but never did I think that she could be the one to hire an assassin.” “All rich people are capable of doing great evil,” He mumbled and kept his head on the steering wheel. He released a sigh and then continued. “I need to know why. I need to know why she did it. Why did she have Patty killed?” He finally lifted his head. “I–I don’t know. I think it has something to do with power and money but…” I sighed. “I really don’t know. And the fact that Summer took the fall for what she did blows my mind even more.” “We need to talk to her. We need to talk to Summer.” “Yeah, I know.” My voice was small, and my mind replayed the

The phone call dropped and I bit my bottom lip for a few seconds before releasing it. I then took in a deep breath, released it, and headed for the door. I needed to tell Sterling that his brother was coming over. I knew that they did not get along as they used to when they were kids. They may have looked identical but they were very different people. I opened the door and stepped out. I still needed to take a shower but I needed to warn Sterling about his brother coming over first. When I reached the stairs, it did not take much walking for me to see him sitting at the dining table with his laptop open. He did not even notice me until I sat at the table. “Oh, hey.” He smiled brightly, and I hated that I stared at his smile for a few more seconds than I should have. “I thought you would have been getting ready for bed.” He chuckled. “Did you change your mind?” He asked. I shook my head. “Oh, no. It’s not that. It’s just that I would like to tell you something.” I cleared my throa

He was teasing me. Teasing me with his hard-on; making me whine like a puppy that wanted to go play outside but was denied. He was still wearing his boxer briefs and each time he humped me, my senses went wild. His lips then traveled to my neck. I could feel his hot breath against my skin and I could not help but moan a bit louder than I should have. I really did not want Sterling to hear us but my mouth kept doing the opposite. Moaning was the only way to relieve some of the pure rushes of bliss that were running through my veins. Samuel seemed more turned on by the sound that escaped my mouth. He began to lick my jawline and I could not help but bite my lip. His tongue raised goosebumps on my skin and my heart rate was through the roof. He then stopped and proceeded to finally remove his boxer briefs, revealing his manhood. It looked strong, girthy, and lengthy. Veins bulged on it and when it twitched, my body begged to have him buried in me. “Condom?” He asked in a tone I did

I released a short sigh and tightened the towel warped around my naked body. “What do you want, Sterling?” I walked deeper into the room and sat on the bed. The hair fell onto my shoulders and was dry because of the hair cap I used in the shower.Samuel watched us, also waiting to hear what his brother had to say. He only had on pajama pants and his hair was messy. It was obvious that Sterling has already showered and gotten ready. He was dressed as if he was ready to go to a business meeting. His hair was styled perfectly and his suit was a deeper color of blue. His fit body complimented the suit. In short, he looked really good and I had to remember that Samuel was right here so I had to stop ogling his brother. He ran his eyes over me, and an emotion flashed across his face for a second before it became hard again. I tried to recognize the emotion but it was gone as quickly as it came. “Alone. I need to talk to you alone.” “Wh-what?” I chuckled lightly. “Whatever you want to sa

“What? You were eavesdropping on us?” Sterling asked in a tone that was hard. He glared at his brother and waited for a response. I too was waiting for him to respond. But I already had a feeling that he was. I just wanted him to confirm it. “Were you?” Samuel released a sigh and then placed his hands in his pockets. “Yes. Yes, I was. I did not hear everything, but I think I heard enough. Why are you two talking with a murder suspect?” He pursed his lips.I looked at Sterling for help but he had the same look that I’m sure was on my face. We both were stressed, taken aback, and searching for a way to get the situation under control. “Summer did not kill Patty,” Sterling told his brother the truth. “She only took the fall for it because she was manipulated. Patty was actually killed by an assassin. And that assassin was hired by your girlfriend’s mother.” Samuel scoffed and then shook his head slowly. “No. That can't be true. How?” His forehead scrunched in confusion. He looked at

The car came to a stop right in front of a brick building. We had driven a little over two hours to get there, but at least we were finally there. Summer was already outside, standing at the door. I was no longer sobbing; my tears had dried, and I felt much better now that I had exploded and let it all out. I opened my side of the door and got out of the car. After my breakdown, we had not really said anything to each other. Sterling was quiet. Samuel was quiet. And I was too. When the others got down from the car, the doors were closed and locked. I led the way to the house while they followed. “Hi,” I said to Summer and flashed her a small smile. I sniffled dryly and breathed out a sigh as I waited for a response from her. “Are you okay? You look like you were crying,” She pointed out and I chuckled nervously. “But it’s okay, you don’t have to explain yourself to me.” She smiled back. “Hey.” Samuel nodded toward Summer. “It’s been a while, innit?” Summer scoffed lightly and s
