Seduced by Mr. Right

Meet Mike Wilson

Ian could still remember accidentally coming across his mother sitting alone in the dark in her room, her fingers all but knotted together. she was softly crying to herself. it was the first time Mike was taken to hospital. He'd been ten and Mike had been fourteen. He had thought his brother was sick. In a way, he supposed he had been right. d**g addition was a sickness and Mike had overdosed.

That was when the crown first place on his brothers head began to slip. He'd always been fiercely protective of his mother and anything that hurt her instantly earned his fury. he remembered wanting to punch Mike despite his brother is twice his size.

"After a while, he got used it, he continued when he realize that too much silence has gone by. "My parents died in a car accident, he explained, and there was a girl when i was in college---"

  Ian punctuated his sentence with a shrug. He wasn't

about to revisit the way he'd felt when his college roommate has shaken him awake to tell him that Rachael had been struck dead by a drunk driver who had lost his way somehow had wound up on campus.The man was going ninety on twilight darkened street when he hit her. the driver wouldn't have stopped if not that wound up running his new Ferrari into a tree. Rachael had been making her way through the cross work on her way to her dorm when he ran her down. Both she and the drunk driver were both dead before the ambulance arrived.

Sonia could almost literally feel the emotions vibrating around Wilson. was he telling her the truth, or was something he was just saying for effect? From her experience, handsome men like to cast themselves in a good light early on.

I'm sorry, she said quietly

Thank you, Ian answered stiffly. But i am here about the living. He thought how reckless Mike was becoming and what he had gotten himself into this time.

Although I'm not sure how much longer that's going to be true.

You are going to have to explain that.

My brother Mike Wilson, has an addictive personality. all the signs had been there from beginning, but no one wanted to admit it. Every time he cleans up his act in one department, he latches onto something new.

He has by turns been a d**g addict, an alcoholic, a religious zealot, food addict -- the latest been gambling addict.

being his brother had to be a heavy burden, Sonia thought, suddenly very grateful that all Sam did was collect lightweight girlfriends who had the IQ of a shoelace.I'm sorry to hear that.

He laughed shortly. if he didn't have an addictive personality, i wouldn't be here, So for you this might be a good thing.

That was rather cynical remark, despite the fact that he punctuated it with a smile. "You do Plan to Explain that, too, Right?
