Chapter 123 My brother or me?
Them he turned around and walked to the house. I hated that. I really wanted him to leave me alone, but I didn’t want to make another conflict for the family
I stood up, then I followed him. Leah glanced at me, and I think she could read my face. I knew what was on her mind as well. I knew how much she wanted me to stay with her, but I couldn’t.
When we were in his working office, dad stood at the window with his arms crossed. I sat down on the sofa. It took about a minute for him to turn around and look into my eyes. He was serious. I didn’t see him like that often.
“Seth, you must do something with your brother.”
1 shook my head.
“What should do
him?”
“He can’t do this. He can’t just leave when I clearly told him what he must do.”
I exhaled. I hated I couldn’t agree with him this time.
“Dad, don’t you think Gideon clearly showed he doesn’t want Amber? Shouldn’t we just accept that he doesn’t like her and stop pushing him so hard?”
He rolled his eyes, then he looked back at me
“No, Seth. He is the part of this family, and he has responsibilities, like we all have. I asked him to take Amber, and he must do what I say.”
I frowned. That really didn’t sound like dad. I didn’t understand this at all.
“Dad, why do you want to push him so much? Why do I feel that it’s not just about making mum happy, and make Gideon forget about Alice?”
He exhaled.
“Seth, you don’t have to know everything. We must get i
them together. Understand?”
I looked at him in disbelief.
“What is wrong, dad? Tell me. We can help it together, and you don’t have to ruin your other son’s life by forcing him to take a whore like this.”
He looked at the ground, and I could see he was suffering too.
“I’m really sorry, but this time we have no choice. Gideon can have a lover, or he can divorce later, but it must happen really soon. For our family’s
“Why?” I looked at him still with a frown, trying to read his face.
“Just do what I said,”
He turned around and took a step to his desk, then he suddenly turned back to look at me.
“Or maybe you want to divorce Leah?”
I looked at him in disbelief.
“Don’t even think about that.” I answered him, didn’t even try to hide the anger that I felt just from imagining leaving my family.

“Then find out where your brother is, if he has someone make that woman disappear from his life, even if it means you have to kill her in the front of him. Make your brother obey me.”
I looked into his eyes for a few seconds, not believing in what I just heard, then I turned around and left the room without a single word. A thousand thoughts were in my head. I wanted to know what was behind this, I wanted to know what could happen that my father didn’t want to tell me, and most of all, what could change him that much? His children used to be the most important for him. He was always a number one dad, and granddad. What could happen?
I stopped, then I leaned against the wall. I made a fist, like it helped me with something.
hat I had to do
1 Kabed myself for this, but I knew what I had to do
I went back to Leah, She looked at me with fear in her eyes.
Leah, I have to leave now. I want you to go home with Awa
“What’s happened?” She whispered.
I put my palm on her face. I leaned closet to kiss it, and I used the opportunity to whisper into her ear.
