Chapter 12: The Family Shamelessness

Evans walked inside the family house but was greeted with a cup thrown at him. He immediately dodged it but was still bruised at the side of his cheeks, so he could imagine the impact the glass cul would have made if he hadn't dodged.

He raised his head with his finger tracing the bruise then he pursed his lips In coldness showing how dissatisfied he was. He took a deep breath and then turned his head to face the people sitting on the couches and looking at him with anger.

“I am bruised.” He said calmly without any feelings.

Father Hart, who had thrown the cup, stood up with hands pointed at Evans and said without feeling remorseful, “You bad child! You are bruised but do you know how your brother is outside?! You don't even care about your brother when all he had ever done was love you and care for you!” His eyes were filled with blame for his son, he had always believed that Evans is disobedient and stubborn and Jesse is the obedient one.

For example when he had asked Jesse to study Sounds and Music and he had done that in obedience. But it was a different case for Evans as he had fought them and even threatened to leave the family if they didn't allow him to be a doctor.

He had been so angry then that he immediately wanted to agree to it but the one who had begged for Evans was Jesse. But thinking of how that nice and great Jess had such a wicked brother who didn't even care about him, Father Hart felt so angry and wanted to beat Evans up.

Evans looked at the dislike on the face of his father with indifference and asked, “Why was I called home?”

Father Hart wanted to say something but was interrupted by Evans mother who immediately stood up to hold his hand, she smiled at him but Evans could see clearly how fake it was. He prepared himself for anything that was to come and like he expected, something was really up.

“Dear, why were you seen coming out from Nathan’s house? You don't need to deny it as someone saw you. Besides, you should be aware that he is Jesse's boyfriend, right?” She asked gently but her tone and words were like knives.

Evans stood startled then he furrowed his brows into knots as he seemed to think of something. His eyes suddenly flashed in realization and he immediately removed his hand, “You were monitoring Nathan?! Why would you do that? That's shameless!” He shouted with anger as he glared at them coldly.

“SLAP!”

Evans's eyes widened as his head turned to the side from the impact of the slap given by his mother. He gasped in shock as his hand covered his face, then he slowly turned back to look at her, and seeing her hand stretched out in regret, he moved back immediately while shaking his head.

“Evans… No..Mother didn't mean to….I—”

“Hah! What a joke!” Evans interrupted her words as he shook his head repeatedly then closed his eyes and removed his hand from his cheek showing a very obvious mark and the bruise from before was opened and now bleeding but it was Asif he could feel no pain.

He looked at his so called family sharply, “I have never wronged you all, but you all will always choose Jesse over me just because he is weaker, but I have never complained. What business do I have with him if he goes missing?!” He said then pause and chuckled, then continued, “Oh! Sorry, a mistake. Your darling son eloped with someone else, and he was never missing!” He finished and let out mocking laugher as he watched their faces turn green.

“You bastard! Shut up! Stop accusing your brother, he loves Nathan a lot…Wait! Did you tell Nathan that?!” Evans's Father asked in panic

Evans raised his brows in speechlessness, “What? You don't want him to know? Why shouldn't he know? Just because of the benefit you received from him being Jesse’s fiance?”

He asked in a mocking tone then shook his head as he remembered a memory.

He couldn't help but laugh in amusement at his thought. People might think the Hart family was an open minded family since they allowed their first son date a man, but the truth is they find it acceptable because of the benefits they received from the relationship and this is also the reason they wouldn't allow Evans close to any man as they felt they wouldn't be able to take the blow if Evans was also gay. But too bad for them, their second son was already bent for someone.

“What's funny?! I asked you what you were doing at your brother's fiance's house?!” Evans' father asked in rage.

“It's none of your business where I go and since you clearly don't care about me right from the start, then I expect it to remain that way, it's my business who I visit!” Evans said powerfully then turned around to leave without waiting for any more talks.

He really regrets coming when they ask him too. He had thought it was a serious matter but it was still on Jesse's issue. All he took was free beatings.

“Tch!” He sighed then crooked his mouth to see if it was still moving, and then laughed all by himself but only Evans knew his much pain he was holding in.

First was his best friend who had called him a slut without even asking questions and knowing what had occurred, then when he had decided to rest, his family called and he took some beatings.

He entered the taxi and returned back to the hostel. Evans had completely forgotten the orders of one man who had asked him to pack his things in. All he wanted to do at the moment was lie down on his bunk and sleep through the night but what he didn't know was that someone was getting angry waiting for him to come back.

Nathan sat down then looked at the time again, his jaw clenched tightly as he thought about how he had clearly told Evans to pack in but it was almost 9pm but he was still not here and it was clear that he wouldn't be coming at all.

“That darn little guy!” He said frustratedly then stood up to walk upstairs and forget about him. Its not like I can't sleep without him, he had been doing that for a long time.

He snorted irritatedly and wiped his hair after taking a bath, he laid on the bed but felt hot. He didn't know what was going on with him but he felt so much rage in his heart.

“If I met this go, then he would become more arrogant and continue doing this. He is mine and should listen to me. I need to teach him a lesson so he won't do as he likes again!” Nathan said to himself like a chant then stood up and put on his clothes and the next few minutes he was in his car driving off in the late night.

Some minutes later, the car stopped in front of Evans college then he walked in fast paced towards the boys hostel.

“Hey! Where are you going?!” The hostel security stopped him.

Nathan stopped then threw the security man a cold glance that left the man trembling. He then brought out a pure white card and showed it to him, and without waiting for the man to say something, he bypassed him and walked up the stairs but what he didn't see was the security man's dumbfounded look as he looked at the white card.

“KNOCK!!”
