“Where the hell were you?”, Orfeo, Jules father shouted on her.

“Father, I-”, she was going to say, a lie probably but got cut off in the middle.

“She was with me, sir”, a voice came from the door, it was Bryant. Jules just crossed her eyebrows in disbelief, and how could she even believe what she was seeing. She was seeing the great rude annoying Bryant Richmond protecting her.

“We went to select the wedding dress, am right darling?”, he asked coming near to Jules and pulling her near to him with her waist.

“Ummm yes”, Jules stuttered.

“Oh that’s wonderful, I just got worried about you my daughter”, Orfeo said, his tone sweeter than honey and faker like a plastic surgery making Jules disgust. Bryant just smiled at his reply.

“I must get going now, good night”, Orfeo said and left the room. The moment he left the room, Jules pushed Bryant away from her.

“Why did you do that?”, Jules asked, confused.

“To protect my girl, of course”, Bryant replied sweetly.

“What?, my girl”, Jules said in a disgusted face.

“Why don’t you like it, should I call you darling or how about honey?, we are getting married in a week anyway”, Bryant pouted making Jules raise her left brow.

“Its getting late, I think you should go in your room”, Jules said ignoring his words completely and started making her bed signaling Bryant that she wants to sleep, so he should leave. Bryant grabbed Jules wrist and stopped her from what she was doing.

“What in the world did that meant, Ms. Flowers?”, Bryant asked in a damn scary tone.

Jules looked into his eyes and saw something dangerous. Something which made adrenaline boost in her veins.

“Let go, it’s hurting”, Jules cried.

Bryant immediately let go of her hand and took few steps away from Jules.

“I am sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you”, Bryant said softly guilt visible in his voice.

“Can you please return to your room, I had a long day today, I want to sleep”, Jules replied. Her tone cold and tired.

“Sure sleep well Jewels”, Bryant smiled. His smile was warm and sweet.

Bidding good night Jules, Bryant quickly got out of Jules big suite. He closed the door behind him careful to not make a loud thud. Bryant loosen his collar and let out a heavy sigh.

“I really need to control myself, I can’t harm her again”, he said frustrated.

“Harm her?, Again?”, a voice came from behind. Bryant turned to see the owner of the voice and his eyes widened.

“Charls when did you return?”, Bryant asked in shock.

“Yesterday”, Charlotte replied her voice cold as ice.

“Won’t you hug me?”, Bryant smiled widely opening his arms.

“Hug?!”, Charlotte let out a bitter chuckle making Bryant smile fade away.

“I might stab you little brother, but I would never hug a creature like you”, Charlotte spat bitterly.

“Why do you hate me?”, Bryant asked his sister quietly making sure not spill tears from his eyes.

“Don’t you know why?”, Charlotte asked him raising her brow.

“No, I don’t, so tell me”, Bryant shouted. Charlotte like a bullet got near to him and pinned him to wall her hands on Bryant neck, chocking him badly.

“Keep your voice low, people like you shouldn’t speak so loudly, and oh yes, you asked me why I hate you, as if you’re the innocent one”, Charlotte raged, mimicking the last words of her sentence and making her grip more tighten around Bryant’s neck and brutally making her nails buried in his neck.

If Bryant was a whole human, then he would definitely die due Charlotte brutal choking, but fortunately he wasn’t.

Charlotte spoke again, “Okay, so I will let my monstrous fake innocent brother know why I hate him. I hate him because he’s the one who brutally killed Dawn and her family, he’s the reason I was unable to sleep without having a nightmare to haunt my realities, he’s the reason my best friend has started drinking humans blood, he’s the reason why that same best friend hates me to death, and he’s the reason I regret saving him”, she paused for a moment and looked into Bryant eyes. She saw her mother. He had the same eyes same features which resembled her mother and she hated that part of him. And that was the reason she couldn’t kill him. She saw that Bryant was suffering in pain and his neck was bleeding. The moment Charlotte saw this she quickly let go of his neck. Bryant collapsed in pain. The pain was too much for him to handle. And it wasn’t due to his beloved sister’s chocking but was due to how his sister whom who loved the most in this world hated him.

Charlotte bent down to his level. “You got mother’s face you know?”, she asked softly tears streaming from her eyes. “But what a shame, you don’t have a bit of her inside your heart, you are just like our father, who is iller than a beast. And I swear on the name of our mother Bryant that if you harmed anyone again, I won’t kill you, but I will make your reality worse than death itself.” Saying this Charlotte stood. She turned her back to walk away from Bryant but Bryant voice came making her turn back to him.

“Jules is Dawn right?”, he said making Charlotte narrow her eyes.

“Thanks for clearing my doubt, I won’t harm her”, Bryant spoke again in cheerful voice.

Hearing his words made Charlotte disappeared in thin air. Yes, she teleported to somewhere because if she stayed for a minute more, then maybe Bryant would have to teleport to heaven.
