Chapter 48: Spicy

Kier felt dizzy. He drinks too much but he can still manage himself. He will go home. Someone touched him in the shoulder seductively and when he looked up he saw his wife seductively looking at him.

“Hey.” He smiled and touch her face.

Shielyn pulled him in the VIP room and push him on the bed. Confusion is written in Kier’s face but he didn’t mind it and replied to his wife’s kiss.

They hungrily kiss each other and she remove his clothes.

He felt a extreme desires.

“Jase!” Kier’s heard his cousin voice.

“Jase!” That woman is have a megaphone voice.

“Jase!” I followed Jase outside the bar. Where he is going?

I jump in my car and followed him. He goes in a condo and I just followed him. When he’s about to close the door I stop him and entered.

What’s his problem again?

“Layla?” As usual he looks shocked.

“Surprise.” I smiled widely.

“What are you doing here?”

I grin and put my bag in the coach.

“What’s your problem why are you hiding from me?” I raise my eyebrow on him.

I notice that he’s hiding from me.

He sighed.

“Layla, please go home. It’s already morning and we need to rest.” He pleaded exhausted.

He always busy.

“Why you’re always pushing me?!” I shouted. “I am always chasing you and begging for your love. Look, I am making an effort for you to notice me! Jase I love you! Isn’t obvious?! I love you!”

I really love him.

“Layla, please go home.” He held me on my hand and tried to push me outside. This is hurts.

“Jase, do you love me?” I badly need an answer. I am so confused to his action, :please tell me. If this is because of my brother Kier. He will understand later on.” I held his hand and my eyes are begging.

He looks at me tiredly.

“I don't love you and never be.” He told me while looking at my eyes emotionless.

Why? Am I not pretty enough? I am gorgeous. Why he can’t love me back.

“Stop being desperate, Layla. Go home.” He hardly said and loosen his necktie.

He’s so mean. This is the fifth times that he hurts me. This hurts so bad.

He left me here in condo. He doesn’t care about me.

I nods and lifelessly left his condo. The answer and treatment is really obvious.

My hearts felts so heavy that makes me uncomfortable.

“Is that true?” I asked him while looking at his eyes with tears in my eyes. I clenched my fist.

This things hide to me, they hide the important thing in my life.

“Why you d-din’ t-tell me?” I asked him weakly.

We are in his library and he had been prisoning himself in this room for almost two days and I don’t know the reason until someone told me that shock my whole life.

Don’t I deserve to know about it? When are they planning to hide that thing from? Or they don’t want to tell me until I die?

What should I do now?

The truth has been revealed.

“Kier!” I shouted his name and shook his shoulder. He can’t look at me.

I know that he’s always silent but this thing is different! I want clarification and answer!

“So, is this the reason why you’re being cold and you’re avoiding me?” I wanna know everything!

He drink alcohol. He had been drinking. I thought he’s just having problem in the company.

I am suppressing my anger.

“Kier! What!? Now tell me!” I angrily shouted.

“Bryden told me everything. At first, I don’t want to believe but he showed me evidences and the result is positive.” I said weakly remembering that times. “He.. h-he..” I felt my knee weaken.

Why is this happening?

I saw his clenched fist.

“Kier, is that true?... are we?” I wanna hear it from him.

“Is that true?” I repeated.

He look at me slowly and his eyes are color red. He is suppressing his tears.

“Fvck!” He murmured.

I’m standing in front of him while he’s holding a alcohol and don’t have a courage to look at me.

“I don’t know…” he answered me weakly.

“We’re biological siblings!” there, I said it for him, “and you didn’t tell me about that thing. I feel envy because you knew it and you didn’t tell me about that thing.” My heart feels heavy.

Why they are doing this to us?

“You’re adopted too and we’re… we're..” how to say it?

“Married… we’re married.” I feel like to lose my breath.

He looks straight into my eyes.

“No! We can pretend that we’re not siblings! C’mon we… w-we don’t have the same surname.” He said like crazy.

“We’re married. You are my brother…” I sat on the sofa without any energy.

My head is aching.

I don’t know what to do.

I don’t know what to think.

I don’t know what to think.

I don’t know how to act. After knowing everything I don’t think that we can go back to the old us.

“Shielyn…” He tried to hold my hand.

“We can hide this thing. No one gonna knows that we’re actually siblings.” I pulled my hand from his hold.

Is he crazy?

“No!” I scream, “you are crazy. Siblings can’t married each other!”

“Then, we can break that shit!” He fight back.

He is unbelievable.

“You must see a doctor. You are crazy. If we’re cousins I can accept that! But being your sister? Ken you must think! Where is your brain?!”

We’re fighting and screaming inside this library.

He clenched his fist again and I saw his veins in his neck.

“Then, let’s stay this fucking way! I’m gonna fix this!” He said before he stormed out of this room.

I stare at the air.

Is this really failed marriage and can no longer fix. We’re sinking in the same boat. I can’t believe that I’m actually having a failed marriage.

First time in our family history.

“Ma!” Kier called his mom as he saw her in the garden.

He personally saw her.

“I know that truth!” I scream in angry, “I found the truth!” He yelled.

“Kier! Why are you crying!? What happened?!” His mom immediately accompany him and guide him to take a sit.

“Why you look in distress? What happened, son?” As a mother, she’s getting worried looking at his son in this state.

His son is hurting, she’s seeing in his eyes. He cried while driving to her.

“I found her..” he chuckled bitterly, “I finally found her! Damn!” He hissed. He can’t accept the fact. He will kill Bryden for revealing the truth. He is planning to hide this thing to Shielyn and pretend nothing happens but that damn Bryden came in the picture. He is asshole.

“Kier, relax.” His mom is calming him.

He can kill Bryden.

“Son, relax!” His mom raise her voice.

Kier is panting in angry and frustration.

He fucked up!

“She’s your daughter t-too… she found out… what should we do?” He is at loss.

He don’t know what to do too.

“What? Can you clear for me? I don’t understand what you are saying.” His mother is confuse.

“Shielyn and I are..” he didn’t continue and look at his mom and nod his head.

When mommy get that sign he cover her mouth in shocks. How does it happened.

“H-how? Oh my!”

“That’s not important.” Kier breath is getting heavier and heavier.

“You should get divorce and I know someone. Do you still know Lu Han? You can marry her.” Her mom cheer him in desperate move.

“Mom!” Kier hissed, “I am already in distress and you keep banging about that Lu Han! I am not interested to that cunning woman!” Kier madly stated.

“If you don’t have a helpful suggestion, shut up!” Shut up and he stand up and left his mom hanging.

“That child doesn’t have manner!” Mommy angrily hissed.

“I raise him and gave everything to him, yet this is the way he want to return everything I had done to him? He must be thankful that I adopted him!”

“Madame, are you okay?” The maid Silya ask her in when she saw her in that kind of situation.

“Hmmp! Continue watering the plants!” Mommy said before she walked.

“Bro! Stop it!” Nathan stops Kier from punching their Bryden.

“You asshole! What the fuck you want!? I rarely see you yet you came in the picture!” Kier is panting in angry and he tighten his clenched.

His breathing is not normal.

He had been in a bad mood since they told him the truth.

He’s throwing everyone a dagger look. He wants to kill someone to ease his anger.

“Bro, c’mon! Bryden is our friend. He may have a reason why he told her! And Shielyn deserves to know about it!” Nathan said.

Kier release from his hug and look at him with full of hatred. His veins in his body showed. He is like a tiger who wants to kill his prey.

“Why do you care?! That’s my marriage! Stop meddling with it!” He outburst.

Bryden wipe the side of his lips. Kier almost kill him if his friends didn’t came in time.

This friend of their is crazy… crazy in love.

He spit the blood inside his mouth. He punch him so good.

What a loving husband Kier is…

“Do you want me to kill you instead?!” Kier turn his madness to Nathan.

Nathan raise his hands as a sign of surrendering. “Opss, I’m just stopping you, bro. Get back in your mind. You still have a problem in you company and regarding the problem with your marriage… maybe, you can talk about it when you can think straight. You had been throwing your angry to everyone.” Nathan is just relax talking to him.

“Stop being asshole Kier. fix your mind and talk it with Shielyn… you can’t do anything about it. The truth had been revealed…” Nathan wants to added that there’s a lot of woman there but he wants to save his face. He don’t want to receive a punch.

“Be a man.” Bryden smirked and still enduring his body pain. He wasn't able to hit back because of the strength of every punch he receive from Kier.

“Get in your mind Kier Fier, you’re company needs you. If you don’t want to lose anything from you. Fix yourself and you company.” Jase came in the scene holding a cup of coffee and his left while the other one is in his pocket.

“Yeyuda and Conrad left the country.” Jase inform them.

“Tsk! They are bullshit and stupid!” Kier commented while throwing a dagger look at them.

“The truth is out, fix that in your own.” Jase drink after he said those words.

“Why you didn’t bought me coffee?” Nathan whined and grab the coffee in Jase hands.

“Did you gave me money?” Jase asked sarcastically and grab his coffee from Nathan’s hands.

“Bryden, don’t you fucking show me your face again!” Kier stated with full of warned and angry, “I saw that dog face of yours, I will not think twice to ruin it!” His voice is full of danger.

Nathan and Jase stops from arguing when they heard it. They look at each other.

“We’re no longer friends. I don’t need a talkative and stupid friend of you.”

Every words of Kier’s hurts Bryden feelings.

“This day on, I finally cut my ties with you!.” Kier last words before he left them all.

Once again, Nathan and Jase look at each others eyes.

“This is bad.” Jase commented and his hid coffee.

“I never thought that it will turn out this way.” Nathan said while shaking his head.

“Are you, okay?” Jase asked Bryden who’s just silent in the corner.

“Good, his punches his nothing. Tell him too, that I don’t value our friendships anymore.” Bryden smirked.

“Hey, dimwit! Stop saying those words. You know Kier’s attitude, you don’t need to feel about anything. He is just like that when he is mad.” Nathan’s trying to comfort Bryden.

Bryden didn’t commented and left them two.

“What shall we do now?” Nathan asked Jase but he just left him too.

What’s happening to their friendship? It became ruin because of their plan.

“That Bryden is a asshole too. He already knows our plan yet he is acting like a dimwit!” Nathan complain and have a sighed.

“Stop this prank of your Nathan, it’s not funny.” Jase stated in a cold tone voice and look straight.

“Might as well talk to your twin brother and declare the truth before we saw Kier in mental hospital.” Jase added and tapped Nathan's shoulder.

“You are all kill joy! This is the most exciting part yet you are ruin it!” Nathan whined like a child.

Jase left and didn’t look at his childish friend again. He will make himself busy to stop thinking.

“Sir, sirrr!” Heidi shouted in front of Kier’s face. He had been staring in the air. What’s happening to her boss.

“Sir, you had been torturing with workload. Send help.” Heidi said almost crying, “the investor is grilling me in the meeting.” She complaints.

“Have mercy on me. I can’t do all your work…” Heidi keeps on complaining.

“If the sales continues to decrease they told me they gonna pull their shared. And I review about the performance of the company, and I can say it has been poor for the last three months. Sir Kier what are we going to do.?” Heidi doesn’t know what to do. She is facing a demon everyday. Human are greedy in nature, they always wants more and they never feel contented.

“Let them.” Kier answered shortly.

Heidi doesn’t want to believe to what she heard.

“What?! Sir, it that happens the company will be no longer yours.” Heidi cry with nor tears.

“Give me that folder and leave.” Kier look at the folder she had been holding.

What’s happening? Heidi asked herself that questions. Her boss had been in very mad mood and silent, very silent.

“By the way, Jase might run this company in favor of me. Assist him in this company. He will be your new boss for the mean time.” Heidi stops from walking and thinking when she heard that.

“Now, get out of my sight.” He rudely said.

Heidi can’t do anything but to follow his orders.

“I am going to have a new cold blood boss again. Hay!” She murmured while walking on he desk.

“I remember I am in contact with her wife, maybe telling her about my situation can change my boss mind and have a mercy on me.”

Heidi started to call Shielyn’s phone number and she had been call her for many times before she answered it

‘Glad you answer it madame!” Heidi welcome her with those words.

“H-heidi?”

Heidi stops when he heard her boss’s wife voice. Why her voice sounds different.

“Madame, can you talk to boss? Ak him to help me in the company, he is the leaving the company with so much work and he told me that sir Jase is going to be my boss for the meantime. Madam, help me, huhu.” Heidi started to beg.

“H-heidi…” Shielyn’s voice never change.

Heidi frowned. There is something.

“Madam, are you okay?” She asked gently and slowly.

From that question she started to cry.

“Huh, eh, madam, why are you crying? Did you had a fight again with boss?” Her voice is still gentle.

“H-heidi, we’re going to get divorce.” Her voice is shaking and can’t utter them.

Heidi cover her mouth in shocks, “madam, are you okay? What happened? If you have quarrel with boss kindly talk about it and fix. Divorce is not the solution and besides boss is feeling sad at the moment.” Heidi’s voice become sad.

Shielyn keeps on crying on the other line.

“Let me talk to boss.”

“Heidi no… t-this is private m-matters.”

“Er,, then what’s the matter? Don’t divorce boss because he feel heart broken and he might eat us alive if that might happened. Since he get married he change. I always see him smiling… madame, have mercy… although sir is always mad and cold but he is kind, we always received bonuses whenever he is happy. The company is having a problem we need him.” Heidi’s voice is begging.

“Madame?.. Hello?”

Shielyn didn’t reply for a moment and keep on crying.

“We need to! We are siblings!” There’s a frustration in her voice.

“Er? What?! Did I hear it right?! How did it happened? And you don’t look like each other.!” Heidi was shocked but manage to hid it.

Shielyn ended the call and break down.

She keeps on crying in her room and Kier’s tried to talk to her but she is shutting him down. If Bryden didn’t tell her, he don’t have any plans to tell her the truth. He is trying to hide her identity to her. He is real liar. He had been lying to her for how many times!

“Bessy! Bessy what happened?!” Vane is rushing on her. She came in her room without knocking.

I look at Vane with full of tears in my face.

“The news has already been spread, is that true?” I look at Layla who’s standing at the door of my room.

Kier is not here, he is in the company. I don’t know what should I do, this situation is going to have a mark for sure.

Layla face is not happy and not sad to. I am just staring at Layla and didn’t not look at her. My mom doesn’t want to talk to me and I am mad at her for keeping this important thing in my life.

“If that’s true, auntie mom is going to have a son and daughter for real… you already know that auntie mom adopted Kier because her husband cheated on her and they can’t have a child right?” Layla asked me.

I just know that information days ago. I am, not actually updated to what’s happening. I should thank Bryden for what he did.

“She adopted Kier when he already in her old age, I don’t remember the exact age… brother Kier never stops from finding her sister, he told me she was a baby back then in that orphanage.” Layla became teary eyed. “ if you are his long lost sister…” She looks at me, “you are married.” My tears fell again.

Fate is playing with us.

“I am going to divorce him.”

Vane who keeps on combing and fixing my hair agree on me, “that’s right sister! Divorce is the best solution. Divorce him and I will help you find a good man.” Vane advise me, she looks happy.

Layla didn’t utter any words and stare at me.

“Layla, you know a lawyer right? C-can you help me to h-him?” I am looking at her when she suddenly shakes her head in disappointment.

“Sissy, me! Me! I know a best lawyer in town! Let me contact him for you!” Vane volunteer cheerfully.

“Stop crying, there’s a lot of fish in the ocean and you have a freedom to choose!” Vane wipes my tears.

I wish Mia is here with me.

“I am not sure if brother will agree on you…” there’s unsaid words in Layla’s eyes.

It’s been two days and I haven’t seen Kier, he is not going home and I don’t know about his whereabouts. I already talk to the lawyer that Vane referred to me. He is a good lawyer.

I feel so down and I don’t know whom to contact since Mia decided to left me. I don’t have a family and Kier’s family hated me for being me. I don’t have that much friends. Vane is keeps on talking about men and boys.

Layla, I can’t talk to her. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know if we need to talk, we are like siblings now because I am his cousin biological sister. My parents are far away from me, they don’t like me anymore.

This is how it feels like to be alone. I had been alone inf my childhood until I grown up but facing a problem alone is a different thing and not easy. I am getting crazy for thinking a lot of things and feeling a deep pain.

If fate didn’t play with us, I won’t feel this kind of feeling.

Kier is the who always listen to me but we can’t be back like before. Our relationship is already have a scar.

I had been crying and I don’t want to cry anymore but my tears won’t stops from falling.

I don’t know what should I do, I am making rush decision.

These divorce paper is ready to sign, I already sign mine.

“Crazy! Talk to him!” Nathan push his twin brother.

They are in bar and their friend Kiers is drinking again.

“Back out, his company is not doing good right now. Your timing is not right Nathan.” Jase had been scolding Nathan.

“He is about to lose the company that he had been work for so long. Is he lost it for real you might feel guilty and you are the one who blame.”

“Hey! Hey! You are belong, duh! Don’t blame it all to me. This is Condrad's bullshit idea and I just implement it!” Nathan defend himself.

“Stops him from drinking!” Nathan pushes his twin brother again.

“Stop acting childish.” Ethan is annoyed at his twin brother. He pulled him from his house to bring him here in bar.

“Kier didn’t bursted out? Something might wrong, he had been drowning himself in alcohol. This is real shit bad.” Ethan shooks his head.

They know Kier for being hot tempered and easily to get mad and annoyed him.

They are watching him in the table drinking alone and thinking deeply.

“We all dead.” Ethan stated before stand up and walk to Kier.

“Hey man!” He greeted him but he didn’t talk and continue to drink the alcohol. The two followed him.

Kier didn’t look to his friends nor said anything. He continued to drink and the four look at each other.

Ethan feels guilty.

“DID you see her?”

I am here again in his office. Mom cooks a delicious meal and I am going to give him.

“Who?”

Did he take a lunch?

“That woman sir Jase is with right now. I envy her, she’s so gorgeous and she like a doll. I hope I am gorgeous like that.”

I stop from walking when I heard a group of employees are talking and I heard Jase name. I came near to them to eavesdrop.

“She’s sir Jase girlfriend!”

What? Why I didn’t know about this?!

“Crazy! Sir Jase girlfriend is Ma’am Layla.”

I listen more. I made sure that they are not seeing me.

“Heh! You are not inform, Ma’am Layla made her sir Jase her girlfriend. Sir Jase doesn’t know that they are in relationship.” That fat woman laughs. I she insulting me?

They all laughs.

“I like that sir Jase with and I even heard him call her ‘babe’"

I clenched my fist to what I heard.

“She looks innocent and fragile unlike.”

But I am talented and beautiful!

“They are in a relationships! I heard it! Sir Jase have a good taste in a woman and they look together!”

I didn’t listen more and I abruptly go to Jase's office and I was about to enter without knocking when his secretary stops me again.

“Ma’am you can’t enter. Sir is with someone, they are having a private meeting.”

I breathe deeply to calm myself. I am near to pull this woman hair. I am having a feeling that she have a crush on Jase! If I ever I found about it I am going to hurt her!

“Tell him that I am here!” I said impatience on her.
