HIS MISTRESS

THE RETURN

Gooseflesh rose across Nissabel's arms. Her brows knitted in rage.

“To hell with both of you!” she shrieked, stumbling from the office. The door crashed behind her, heels clicking hard against the tile as she left.

Eddie stood frozen in the quiet, eyes fixed on her fingers as she fidgeted with them, lost for words. ,Should I help you button your shirt as well?, Nickel broke the silence. His gaze locked on her, eyes sharp enough to kill. There was a careful intensity in them that made people shiver. His eyes worked like magic.

...uhmmm…no, she said. Stammering as she ran out. He glanced at the door, a small smile curling his lips. This girl almost made him tempted. She was gorgeous but not like the other ladies he encountered.

Forks paused mid-air. The dining room went quiet until the door banged open.

“ Yo bro, I'm back. “ Ethan filled the doorway, loud and impossible to ignore. He scanned the mansion , not until his gaze stopped on both Eddie and Vickie.

,,lush!! Nick? I never knew you were rearing a bunch of women. He went over to the long table, taking a seat beside Vickie.

,, Hey ladies. I'm Ethan. He introduced, his eyes narrowing suspiciously on his brother, silently wondering what he was up to this time. His voice came out rough, like it scraped his throat. "I Hope my brother Nick is treating you well. “ He inches closer , and let his arm settle on Vickie's shoulder playfully. Vickie sat agape by this fool as her eyes flashed with a warning, subtly shifting away from Ethan's arm around her.

Ethan? Go freshen up and get back to us “ He finally interrupted the introductory scene. His brother disappeared up the stairs. Nickel's gaze flicked to the ladies.

"Upstairs now." He wanted privacy, and he wanted it immediately.

,, despicable, Eddie said, pulling her sister up the stairs.

He sat at the dining table with his brother Ethan. Studying his every bite of the meal as he ate. He wasn't a gourmet like Ethan. He is a food enthusiast, while he, as the eldest, was just a vworkaholic fighting his uncle for the company.

,, Nickel? Why are the beautiful ladies not here anymore? Ethan didn't know. He wasn't aware yet. Nickel wasn't his brother anymore; he was a monster now, and ladies were solely pieces in his game.

The clicking of spoons filled the room.

They aren't worth caring for, so mind your business and enjoy the meal. Nickel muttered, his expression changing drastically. His countenance transformed; Eddie's name sparking a tumult of feelings.

,, so how about Nisabel? Ethan's questions ran in like campfire, giving no room for Nickel to answer one at a time.

“ She's nothing to me now, Ethan. I don't stick to one girl; there have to be many fish in the river.

Wow!! Nick. He exclaimed. You just play this game so well; show me the trick, he demanded, patting Nick.

There's a “ but “ at hand , Nickel. His tone turned assertive, his words dripping with conviction. , it's actually a real bummer. Nisabel is coming over once again. She gave me a call yesterday, filling me in on how you embarrassed her in front of your mistress and blahhh…

,,,Is this the real bummer?? Ethan.

She's always dramatic, you know.
