My brother In-law

Chapter 16

Rita p.o.v.

I was sitting down elegantly on my expensive leathered couch very comfortable having the best time of my life. Out of the fifty years I've lived I must confess, yesterday had to be the be the best time of my life and that is because I finally had that opportunity, that urge I have been feeling in me for a long time now to throw that rag b***h out of the Walton mansion, I hope the next subject that I hear in my doorstep is her death.

As my eyes were glued to the screen, I was happy in me knowing Ashley would soon be here in no time as I informed her about the news that she has to come as soon as possible and Mark needs her because he isn't doing so well and me knowing her, Mark is her soulmate so no matter the disputes they both have no argument of theirs will be more greater than the love she has for Mark and I know Mark still does feel the same way her, only if fate didn't take an unexpected turn then these two true soulmates would have been together but no! He went ahead to bring a shameful rag b***h as the daughter in law of the most prestigious billionaire in the whole world. But now I'm glad she's out of my life; our life and especially Mark's life for good besides they were never meant to be together only if Ashely waited for a little longer and if Mark himself would have been more patient on her.

These two have been friends for a very longtime ever since childhood and since then I knew and hoped even put it into manifest that they will get married eventually in the future. Mark being famous because of his reputation of being the Walton first child and especially the heir he has always been paparazzi first need, they follow him up and down and that's why he did want to keep his relationship private with Ashely.

Between these two it was actually Ashley who fell in love first.... Suddenly the maid who was massaging my shoulder soothingly took it upon her to extravert so much force on my shoulder which made me whimp in pain, I yanked them away, turned to her and give her the deadliest glare of my whole entire life, why doesn't she deserve it when she just took me away off my sweet beautiful memory and story about Ashely and Mark and before I could hurl insultive words at her she immediately apologizes.

" Thank God you knew exactly what to do if not you would have been sent to the dungeon straight away". I said and rolled my eyes hardly at her while I look at the other one who was doing my pedicure. " And you how long would it take you to get just a toe fixed up huh?! I want to look fetched and hot when my new daughter in law arrives okay?! Now hurry up---

" What? New daughter in law? I-i-i it Mia?---". The maid who was massaging my shoulders exitingly asks.

" You better shut that stinky mouth of yours that smells like onion breathe mixed together with spoilt eggs before I use the lighter next to me to burn your tongue!". I said rudely. " I don't know how many times I have to say this! Mia was never my daughter in law! I never accepted her into this home for once so shush that mouth and go back to work, because as you know my shoulder hurts". I scoff loudly at the end and turn my neck back to the front while she quickly apologizes.

Matt p.o.v.

I managed to get out from the cell my mother locked me in, that b***h I call my mother. Yes you heard me well, I use the B word on her because she is actually a b***h.

I managed getting treatment as soon as possible that yesterday before they locked me in the cell but I didn't eat anything and I'm mad hungry, I can't believe she threw Mia out of the house. This place is feeling lonely and back as it used to be and fill before she stepped her foot into here, it's like all the life and energy; that happiness had just disappeared from the surface in the house into thin air and that's filled in it now is darkness; yes my mother's darkness. Cone to think of it I don't know how my Dad would feel knowing Mia have been thrown out of the house by his wife; by my mother knowing he really did like her and was fund her so one thing I know is that if he was present when all these happened he won't even be a fool to believe Mia would dare cheat on Mark neither would he let Rita put his hands on Mia talk less of kicking her out of the mansion.

Speaking of Mark, I haven't seen him since and he should be praying to God I don't because if I do we would get in with each other again and this time around it would be more deadlier and he wouldn't be able to suvive it. Trust me.

I limped back into my bedroom, damn my whole body is hurting right now like I just got burnt by a huge volcano of fire and was later rescued. Every part of my body was drumming especially my head, it was jamming together and making this echoatic loud noise in my head.

I sat down there mincing and enduring all pain in me because I know how much my waist hurts right now and as my butt touched the foam of the bed, I sigh utmostly in relief.

I'm really ready for whatever my mother wants to throw on me and if he she wants to kick me out of the house trust me I would love it because i quite remember when I was a teenager I ran away from home and the only reason I returned was because my mom wanted me in here that she had to beg me with her might and honour so I don't even think she's gonna provoke and tell me to leave or she might actually do when she obviously hates me now for ratting her secrets and young life to her enemy Mia.

I rest my head on my hand and later run my fingers through it as I gradually start to take on each and everything that played out last night. s**t! So she's actually gone?, reality sucks really bad, it's really hard to face reality.

Damn! How I'm i going to do this? How I'm I going to survive without her? Just now that I've gotten her to be friends with me, she's already gone out of my life, she's definitely going to hate me, there's no two ways or much more nicer way of saying it because I know even if I tried to defend her with all power in me she will still hate me regardless of all that besides I'm also at fault on why she got kicked out so i'm not even going to act innocent rather feel guilty and ammend my mistakes on my terrible actions.

But what could I do? I was so thirsty for her? She was my breathe of life and water and I really did want her, no doubt.

Right now, as soon ad I get myself I swear on my life I'm going to go find her and bring her back wherever she is and this I promise. I also promise that I won't even let mom lay her hands on her, never.

I really do hope she's safe? have she eaten? Is she still crying? Is she even home? How the heck did she even get home? All these questions in my head and when I knew I couldn't even find out I groan loud in so much frustration, got up from the bed and threw a heavy punch on the wall and when I lost more control of my temper I began throwing things that I didn't even realize Rose presence in the room who was even already in tears.

To be honest i don't know how to feel about her being here? What is she even doing here anywways? I don't want her to be here, at all.

I'm mad, frustrated, angry, paranoid, hungry and this is where now she actually decides to show up.

Nothing can make me feel better now not even me unhooking her bra and getting inside her as i badly want her.. What the hell? Why I'm i even thinking of s*x with Rose right now? f**k me!

Oh well but I understand that it's not really my fault because anytime I get angry, a lot gets enstranged and tangled up in my mind, both angry, frustrated, envious, dirty and naughty thoughts.

Get a good control of yourself Matt don't yell at her and just calmly ask her, it might not go well for her cause she seems soft and you won't want to scold her besides if she's here it means she really does care about you and want to know how I'm doing because I see no cleaning equipments with her.

So just be nice and polite with her and tell her to leave and now isn't the best time to check up on me.

" Rose". I softly said after eternity of chesting in and packing up all my anger in me so I won't push it all out on her because I'm a changed guy and a different guy now not more the angry uncontrolled hot temper jerk who can't control himself around people when things get tough.

" Yeah?". She said barley above a whisper as she wipes a tear that trickled down her cheeks.

" i-i-i-- and when I was about to tell her to leave and give me space that's when she ran to me and gave me a really big tight hug, I know she really needed the hug because when she couldn't more control her emotions she broke down into tears.

Her hugging me tightly was hurting every bit of my body because I was still in pains but no, I'm not gonna push her away, I'm going to be there for her, I know how fund she was of Mia, she tried her best but Rita is too evil and cruel for her to hear someone out, she doesn't care about anyone or how they feel, only her and her alone, nothing more. I'm even sure and 100% sure she doesn't care about my Dad being and fighting for his life in that hospital bed, besides they show no significance of love whatsoever.

Rose was still in tears with her head rested on my chest and I brought out my arm and layed them around her back with my fingers caressing her hair.

" I'm never going to see her again, I'm I?".

" of course. I said softly. " of course you are, we are gonna see her again, look at me". I said and she looks right into my eyes. " I promise I'm gonna bring her back okay? You just have to trust me?".

" Yeah". She nods. " I trust you because you are the only good genuine person here out of your family and of course you and as well Mia are the ones that are genuinely nice to me and my only friends here". She said as her teary icy blue eyes bore into mine. I felt aback on what she said because actually that was the first time someone ever said that to me,that I'm the only good genuine person out of my family, they always say that to Mark but this time around it's different and it feels a relief to me to hear her say something like that to me.

" I am?". I said softly still doubting myself.

"Of course? What makes you think not?". She asked and I deeply sigh because I know now is not the time to start lecturing her about how my family thinks of me as the irresponsible child besides i don't want her to know that about me; my flaws, because she's getting more comfortable around me and I don't want her to change how she is to me, she's the only one in here, certainly the only worker that thinks of me as nice,the rest knows me as irresponsible and a jerk so it's good to keep it that way to her.

" Actually never mind--

" is it because everyone here thinks of you as irresponsible?.. Well I don't. I actually do like you for who you are Matt, you are a great guy".

Oh s**t that s**t gave me goosebumps right there, no one have ever said that to me, nobody just her? By what she said it seems she has really heard a lot about me and the workers actually don't keep their lips to themselves rather gossip about people business going in here which is obviously me because tell me? Who else would tell her that? How much have they been telling her, maybe perhaps they did because they noticed how close we have been getting and especially my new cleaner because actually she is the youngest cleaner that Is assigned to my room, the others are usually 40 and older and I always thought maybe because my mom knew that if she brought a young person I will hit on them, which she didn't lie about that obviously because I love girls so much.

But how could she think so highly of me could she be so different and see me different frrom how others see me? What is she?

" no one here have ever said that to me".

" you hear it from me now. I think of you as a really great person Matt".

I nod as I got emotional and pull her into a tight hug, I really needed that so much but hold on wait? I'm I actually getting emotional? Me feeling emotional? This isn't me so why I'm feeling so just because of her or what she said to me?

" uhmm..". She said as she pulls herself out of me after us hugging for as long as eternity already. " But..did..did you do it? Not that I think you and Mia were cheating together on Mark? I know Mia can never do that to Mark? She really does love him--

" No i didn't, I didn't do any of that s**t, they are all rumors and especially my mom would never deny a rumor when it comes to Mia, she always see rumors as truths when it comes to her so she uses it as an opportunity just to get rid of her, that's the kind of person my mother is".

" I can't still believe she hates her just because she couldn't get that life?

" That's it baby, people hate people for the most stupidest and weirdest reason". I said as I shrug. " my feet really hurts so I'm gonna sit".

" Yeah sure, let me help you". She said and put one of my arm around her shoulder as she supports and walks me to the couch.

I was now on the couch as i take a deep exhale as she was just next to me staring at me especially at my bruises.

" you know..y--y you really didn't have to fight your brother--

" Don't talk about that". I cut in rudely as my anger gets back in. I dont need to hear about that asshole name right now, we were having a good time and you gave me compliments which i appreciated because you made me feel good about myself for the first time here and now you want to talk about my brother?

" i-i-i didnt mean it like that I'm just saying-- she stutters.

" I don't care what or not you mean! I'm just saying not to talk about him! I don't want to hear or know anything about him!".

" OK and why are you seriously yelling right now?".

" Because you got me offended by talking about him!! And I didn't even want to yell at you but do not ask me anything else about him!".

" OK fine! Sorry, I was just being curious on why you fought him?! What made you do it? Like Why?".

" I don't want to talk about that too! "

" Do you that hate him that much? Or maybe I guess you don't know me so well to be able to tell me about what went on between you two which is fine--

" DROP THAT s**t RIGHT NOW ROSE--!!". I said stiffening my hand.

" AND YOU DROP THAT YELL BECAUSE THAT IS NOT YOU OK?!! THIS ISN'T YOU MATT!! She yelled back and that amazed me for a second, I thought of her as the calm quiet type who couldn't yell back but I was wrong, she is more fascinating than I thought, she may be really calm but she definitely got that fericy type in her, it's like an all blondes thing. Her yelling really did put some sense into me so I calmed down because being angry and showcasing my temper to her is the last thing I want to do.

" I'm sorry, i don't know what came over me, i-i-i didn't mean to yell at you like that. I'm sorry". I apologize calmly and she was just looking at me with no emotion saying nothing but trying to read me at the same time, searching and looking for something in me that she couldn't fine.

" What now? I said I'm sorry! I truly am".

" No it's okay? I-i just forgot because you were nice doesn't necessarily mean you won't have a temper, which is fine to have a temper". She said and I softly chuckle.

" Alright". I said as i deeply exhale.

" That looks like it really hurts". She said looking at my injuries on my face.

" Yeah it does but.. I said as I lick my lower lips. " does that make me any less attractive?". I said looking into her eyes and she couldn't handle the eye contact as she looks away with a chuckle.

" No it doesn't besides I'm sure that scar wouldn't last, you're a multi millionaire so you can buy the most expensive cream to get that scar off in less that two weeks so". She shrugs.

" Right". I softly chuckle. " Thanks for really checking up on me though, I really appreciate".

" oh no it's okay. It's my pleasure, friends are meant to be there for friends". She smiles.

" Thank you". I said softly.

" So!". She said as she gets up from the couch. " I can see a big blood clot around your jawline and you're bleeding a little from there so let me help with that, the person who treated you probably didn't notice".

" you pay well attention to me then for you to have noticed shawty". I licked my lower lips seductively at her.

" you're all injured and still you want to flirt, what's there not about you Mr Cocky?".

" And i can see your cheeks all flushed up which means you like it, what's there not about you Mrs gorgeous?". I said seductively mesmerized in her and she burst out into laughter.

" oh my God". She chuckles as she brings the first aid box closer to me and i don't stop staring at her like that.

" why are you staring at me like that? Don't look at me like that".

" why not?".

" I'm a shy girl who don't like to get nervous". She massages around the area with the cotton wool as I hiss in pain. "Ouch sorry".

" I low key like it when you get nervous around me". I softly chuckle.

" Duh". She rolls her eyes and when she was done treating it she dropped back the first aid box and returned back to the couch.

" Did you sleep here last night?".

" No, you think my mother would let me sleep in my room after ratting her out like that yesterday? I slept in the empty room where she calls the cell room".

" Aw, sorry about that".

" No it's okay, it's actually fine because at least I got to put her in her place which is good". I said and she chuckles.

" you really did your best you know? I'm sure Mia would never forget that day you stood up for her like that, she will really be grateful, you're a good friend".

" I hope so".

" She definitely will, you two were good friends and close".

" Ha close? Nah, we weren't actually, it was just yesterday we began bonding, we weren't even friends---

" Really? Why not?".

" This will sound so awkward". I chuckle. " actually she didn't like me".

" Are you for real? Why? You're a great guy".

" She didn't think of me as that before she just thought of me as a big flirt who's unserious and also maybe the fact she didn't just want to be friends with her husband's twin brother". I couldn't bring myself to tell Rose on actually why she didn't like me before on how I tried really hitting on her and try doing inappropriate stuffs with her, damn anytime I remember that, it makes know how idiotic I was especially a p*****t, so yesterday I actually sat down and thought to myself that I was actually disgusting, when I was in the act before I saw it as normal but when thinking about it I regret it so much no wonder they say you have to rethink first before doing some certain things.

" oh yeah some things like that happen actually but I know what you did yesterday would make her change her perception about you because what I saw yesterday was love, you really fought so hard for her when even her husband couldn't---

" Love?".

" Not like love love, like a love a brother has for his sister". She said. Only if she knew it wasn't that kind of love I wanted with her but instead the romantic love and that was the actual reason I fought for her ".

" i feel more accepted here than I've been because no one used to appreciate my efforts but you did and I'm grateful so I say thank you". I Said as I held her hands tightly.

" it's okay, it's always been a pleasure Matt, And I will say, not everyone used to see the good in someone but I do see the good in you, because you are a nice guy, a great friend, I really did mean it when I said you are great person and out of your family I think you're the best out of all them.

" That's all that matters". I said softly as right now I didn't even realize how close we were to each other and how our eyes were right into each others as we were lost in each other's but still trying to find ourselves.

My hands reached to the back of her neck as my fingers subconsciously got there and wrapped it around there and in reflex of that her hand was right above my shoulders and I started bringing my face closer to her.

By looking right into her eyes it's like she didn't know what was going on and if wether she should give in or not. There was a lot to read in her teary eyes, it was like she didn't want me to kiss her but she doesn't know how to say it or she does like me but she's not ready for me to kiss her as it's not been long since we knew each other, a whole of her was nervous but still I didn't see any sign full of her she wanted me to kiss her, i saw a bit of uncomfort in her greater than the attraction she has for me.

She may be drawn, drooled and mesmerized by my looks but not ready to give in as she just wants to get to know me but I just really didn't care because I wanted her to know how much i actually do want her.

Our lips right now were just few inches away from each other as I kept coming closer but but she wasn't moving any closer and right when i was about to press my lips to hers I didn't even realize that my mother was in the room.

" WHAT IN THE HELL DOES MY EYES WANT TO SEE RIGHT NOW?!".
