Sold to Mr. Arrogant novel Chapter 84

The man was tall, thin, and black-haired with light grey eyes that matched mine. His look was hot-blooded and his face screamed no mercy. I recall these features very well; this man is no one else other than my brother.

"I am sure you know who I am, sis," he pronounced the word 'sis' as easy as drinking water, what gives him the right to call me that?

"I am sorry, I think you got the wrong person," I retorted while passing by him unlocking my door.

I closed the door behind me but before I knew it, he was already inside slipping swiftly with her thin figure.

"Are you deaf, get out," I spat out to his face.

"I did not expect this reaction, I thought you would show me tears of happiness if I showed up like that," he started.

"Do you think I am the same fragile little girl from before? Why would I even waste my time and talk to you,"

"So you know who I am," he smirked.

Fuck him, he is really wishing for a beating.

"What do you want?" I asked.

I watched him as he walked boldly into the room and pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge to drink.

"I will not speak with you when you are in this state, let us wait until you calm down,"

"I am calm, so get out,"

He ignored my last order and sat on the couch turning on the TV. I decided to ignore him thinking that he will leave after a while but he did not.

"Aren't you going back to your wife?"

"Wife?"

"Oh, I wondered where you are, were you at my house?" he asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I wanted to burn the house but I knew that going to jail after committing arson and intentional murder isn't that good of an idea"

Why have I never thought of that? When all of this happened to my mother, why have I never thought about where my brother was. I was focused on how much he is useless to our family and uncaring to me; I never once believed that he wanted our prosperity. He left me unable to even state the reason just for my sake.

"I did not know, I..."

He pulled me in a tight hug that nearly broke my bones as if he was preventing me from apologizing.

"I tried to come back but Gerald never gave me a chance, I kept thinking about you these entire years lily. I blamed myself for my stupidity, you could have lived a better life if I did not make such mistakes, I am sorry, Lily. It is all my fault,"

My memory of my brother was a cold-hearted man who did not give a shit about me or my mom, he was always out working or doing things that I don't know about. I could not imagine that he is this caring; I guess all these years I just wanted someone to blame.

I hugged my brother back, this time I prevented my tears from falling. I don't have the right to shed tears of sadness, my mind was full of contempt towards my younger self and hopes of avenging my life. I do not want to run anymore, the father I never considered as a human being, the brother I thought was cruel and gave up on me, my mom whom I thought was mentally weak were all victims of that man. I ought to avenge them as well as avenging myself.

From the very beginning, my life's everything was taken by Gerald, even now, I can't be with the person I love because of him. My friends' lives are in danger and my will is as good as nothing. I have to claim my rights and seek my dreams; I will not crawl into darkness any longer, and in order to achieve that I need to go back.

I will definitely go back Shawn, wait for me.
