CHAPTER FIFTEEN

"Dylan!" I screamed again when Dylan rushed to Wallace. Before Wallace could stand, he kicked him in the stomach again. I can see the anger in his actions and his face is turning red.

"Dylan stop!" I shouted and ran closer to him and then touched him but he just pushed me. He built on Wallace and threw it so it hit the wall. He was about to approach it when I took his hand again but he just pushed me again causing me to fall.

"Dylan stop!" He grabbed Wallace by the clothes and then punched him in the face so that she could barely avoid him. I quickly approached to pull him away but he pushed me harder now so I hit the chair.

I can stay longer seeing Wallace hurt by my brother. The man that I love and the person I trusted with. Seeing Wallace hurt my Dylan hurts more. And I can't do anything to stop him.

"Argh!"

"Diana!" Wallace was about to approach me but Dylan punched him on the stomach and grabbed him so he knelt on the floor. I could do nothing but cry because of what I saw. I can't come near now because I'm in pain.

"Dylan, please stop," I begged and started to cry but instead of Dylan listening to me he kicked and kicked Wallace until he fell. Wallace faces me so I can see how he is hurt he is by what Dylan did.

"Dylan, please." Even though I struggled because my back was still a bit sore I forced myself to stand up. I approached them and held Dylan to pull him away. I bent down to touch his foot but he grabbed me by both arms and stood up.

"Get out of there," he calmly said then threw me away as if I were a thing. And the second time I hit the sofa. It was here that I endured the pain because my hip hit even harder and I hit the corner of the sofa.

"Diana!" Wallace acted quickly. He grabbed Dylan by the foot and then pulled. Dylan fell to the floor and even though Wallace was having a hard time he stood up and approached me to caress me. “Are you ok? Tell me where it hurts?” He had a worried question even though his face was bloody. He grabbed my arm and examined me.

"Wallace!" I shouted when I saw Dylan what he was going to do but it was too late for me to shout because Wallace fell to the floor when Dylan hit him with a gun to the head. "Dylan, stop it!"

He kicks Wallace in the back again. I would have stood up again but I was able to sit back because of my back pain. I was grabbed and pinched because my back hurt.

"Diana." Even with difficulty, Wallace insists on calling my name.

"I warned you but you didn't listen," Dylan said then stepped on Wallace's head. "Dane will now see how you gradually die in front of her without a fight."

All the fear crept into my body when I heard what Dylan said. I knew he wasn’t joking with what he said and even more so he wasn’t scared. I once proved that Dylan can kill not just once but many times. Especially if our family is aggrieved.

Blood flowed from Wallace's mouth. He tried to stand up but every time he moved Dylan just pressed his foot harder on his head. It was as if he was stepping on something to break it. I also see the grimace on the face while doing this.

"Dylan, please." I did nothing. I can not do anything. I could only cry because my back hurt so much and even if I forced myself to stand up I would fall back. "Just kill me, instead!" I shouted.

"Is that what you want?" My eyes widened as Dylan pointed the gun at me. "I warned you too but you really did it.”

"D-Dylan?" I can't close my eyes. I'm afraid I might not be able to open it again when I do it. I was crying nervously. Scared for my life and Wallace especially since Dylan are in front of us now. Dylan doesn’t think right when swallowed up by anger.

"Why did you disobey me, Dane?!"

"I'm sorry." Dylan gave a powerful kick to Wallace's back. I saw how badly Wallace was hurt. Dylan grabbed Wallace by the hair and dragged him to the sofa opposite me. She was lying on the floor so Dylan stood her up and leaned her back in the chair. Dylan knelt down to trim Wallace and held him to his face.

“I consider you more than a brother. I trust you more than I trust my family. But what did you do? You add my sister to your collection. You really don't know how to be afraid!” Dylan dealt a powerful blow to Wallace so he fell again.

"Get up, I am not done, you have no right to pass out and I'll kill you with my own hands!" But Wallace was languishing on the floor and could not even lookup.

"That's enough Dylan, please!" I plead.

Dylan pointed the gun at Wallace's head. It was as if in an instant all the pain I had felt was gone. I quickly stood up and pushed Dylan who was getting stronger then Wallace hugged him.

"Dylan, please enough." I wept to plead while crying with my brother even though I knew in this instance or situation he was listening to nothing but himself and his emotions. I know him with he is angry, he did not know anyone but himself.

"Get out of there, Dane."

"Please, Dylan, that's enough, please. I begged you."

"Go away or else I will shoot you first."

"Dylan," I sobbed and hugged his leg. Nothing will gonna happen if I will fight for him. “Sorry if I fail you, Dy. I’m sorry if I haven’t been a good sister and I messed up with this. But I do not intend to offend you. Dy, after all these years I have done nothing but follow our parents. To follow you all. I set aside want for all of you and I do not regret it because I love you. Now I just followed what I wanted. Only now I given myself true happiness.”

Dylan knelt down and then trimmed me. He touched my face and lifted and stared at me wickedly.

“To be this asshole's slut? Is that what you want, Dane?”

"Yes." My bold answer. "Because I'm happy."

“Fuck!. Better you will get married to anyone and at least you still have dignity. Rather than being the bitch of this idiot who I consider more than a brother.” He pointed at Wallace with the tip of the gun.

“Dylan, I love Wallace. I've always loved him.” He stopped because of what I said. I watched Wallace slowly get up and lean on the sofa but still sitting on the floor. “I've always loved him, Dy. I restrained myself because I followed you. But Dy, I can't hide my love for him forever. Even now just leave me this.”

“Wallace is just going to hurt you, Dane. Didn't you understand? He can only use you now but when he gets tired of you he will leave you too.”

"I know. But I would be happy to break up with him. Because I followed what I want.” I looked at Wallace who was just quietly listening to us. I knew we were going to get to that point. I also wouldn't ask him to tell Dylan that he will stand for me because I knew that was impossible. So even if I look desperate I will still insist. And I will repeat again, because of this I am happy with him, and I feel special.

"You're crazy, Dane, and I won't let you go crazy forever because of him."

“You must have understood me, Dy. Because we have the same experience.”

“Don’t be stupid. We are in a different situation. I can stand with her but Wallace can't stand with you.”

Dylan walked over to Wallace. He lifted his head with the gun. They stare at each other.

“I will give you a chance to leave here peacefully because we have a good bond then. But the time I will see you again with sister, I will not hesitate to kill you down where you stand.”

I cried as I bowed because of what he said. Looks like I know we will end here. Who am I for Wallace to fight? He would still prefer to live especially since he knew Dylan didn’t know how to joke.

It's only now it hurts me to think that what we have will end. It was only the shortness of my joy with him and the painful part is my brother was the one who cut it.

"You won't decide for us, Dy." I looked up at what Wallace had said. Our eyes met and he smiled at me. “If Diana tells me to stay away from her, I will leave. But if he tells me to stay -----” Then he looked at Dylan. "Even if you bury me here in my seat, I will deal with it."

"Is that so?"

"Dylan!" I pushed him fast and hard as he pointed the gun at Wallace's head. He fell to the floor and released the gun. We heard a gun and I didn’t know where it hit. There was too much nervousness and fear I felt. If I caught a second the gun would definitely explode in Wallace's head.

"Diana!" Wallace's face was full of worry. He was holding my arm. He caressed my body, the hair. He examines my whole body. “Diana, did you feel something strange? Are you feeling anything weird?” I could see the extreme concern on his face. I shook my head and touched his face.

"You, are you okay?" I cry asking.

“Fuck, stop crying, Diana. Tell me if anything hurts you? If someone is in pain.”

“I’m ok, Wallace. I’m sorry but I can’t afford to lose you.”

"Shh!" He held me close and then hugged me. “I’m ok. I will not leave you." Wallace's head pulled up when Dylan pulled his hair.

“Dylan, please, please enough. Please, please, Dylan.”

“When you're done with my sister, leave peacefully. And never find someone to add with her.” Then he looked at me. “And you, stand up for what you entered because you like that. Try to cry in front of me because you are hurt and in front of you I will pierce this asshole head even if your cold and tears will mix up.”

Then he turned around and left us.

####CHAPTER SIXTEEN

"Diana?" I didn’t answer Wallace. I just kept sniffing and crying while treating his wound. "Diana."

"Where else does it hurt?" I ask. I'm not used to seeing him like this. In the few months, we have been together I have not seen him physically hurt. But now, apart from the cracked eyebrow and his lower lip, he still has a lot of bruises on his body.

Seeing him hurting like this is triple pain I received. Especially I know that the reason why it happened to him is because of me and I can do nothing but just cry and cry.

“Stop crying. I’m ok.” When he said that, I started to cry more. I let go of the cotton I was holding as I bent down and just cried and cried. I can afford to see him hurting like this. I love him and I prefer that I am the one that hurt and not him.

"I'm sorry, Wallace. I didn't mean it to happen." He pulled me closer to him then hugged me. My face sank into his chest and I kept crying.

"Don't say sorry because it's not your fault."

“I'm sorry because I can't let you go. I know Dylan will get even angrier but I really can't let you go. I can't.” Then I looked up at him. "Not unless you want me to stay away from you."

I know this is wrong. I’m pushing myself into him. I am putting myself down as a woman. So I can’t blame Dylan if he reacts like that. Because what I did is too shameful to our family.

"No, I want to stay with you, Diana." He stroked my face and kissed me on the forehead. Down to the nose, to the lips. "Stay with me either."

“I will, Wallace, as long as you want me to stay with you. I will be here for you.”

“Stop crying. I hate it when I see you cry. ” He wiped my tears using his palm and smiled at me. "You're the second beautiful woman I've ever seen, Diana."

"Second?" I furrowed my forehead.

"Yes, my mom's was the first one." Ok, I feel my heart beating in excitement.

He kisses me again. His kiss became wild and I kissed him back when he suddenly stopped and grinned.

"Are you ok?" I asked a worried question when I saw him held by his side.

"Yeah,"

“Are you sure? I’ll bring you to the hospital.”

“I’m ok. You, I saw you got hurt when Dylan pushed you. Are you ok? Are you hurt?” I shook my head and then buried my face in his chest again. I feel relieved when I smell his scent.

“Can you stay here tonight? Please.” I know I am not a girlfriend and I have no right to be clingy to him. But, I want him to be with me right now.

"You want me to stay?" he asked.

"If it's okay."

"Of course, but I can't promise you that nothing will happen, Diana." I looked up because of what he said.

"In that situation, can you still move?" But I was shocked when he suddenly approached me.

"Wanna try, Diana?"

"H-hey, I'm just kidding and I have a period, don't I?"

“Don’t dare to tease me when it comes to you, Diana. There's nothing I can't do just to enter your hole even after that I fell in a hospital or a cemetery.”

"Crazy." I laughed saying. But he moved even harder and I felt the swelling in the middle of his thigh so I swallowed. "H-hey." What’s wrong with me? It's like I'm a first-timer teenager who felt like this.

"I'm hard, Diana." What the heck. What's wrong with his stare I can't refuse. I am always losing myself every time he is near. I’ve never been intimidated by anyone’s glare but with Wallace----- Oh, come on! "I will bet, you're wet as well."

"No," I refused.

"Really?" Then he spread my legs and touch me down. "Let's see."

"Wallace I'm on my period."

"It's ok."

Honestly, I really hate my own period but why is that --- I really like what Wallace is doing to me. And the next thing that happens --- is he thrust his fingers inside my wet fold.

"You're so wet."

"T-that's my period."

"Cum with me, Diana."

"Oh!" And the next thing that happens. He claimed me and we both sleep on the sofa after.

I leaned back in the swivel chair while holding on to the bridge of my nose. I used to do this when I am thinking deeply. I am not the only one in the family do this, from dad to Daze are doing this except for Dylan. Because Dylan was playing with his forehead with two fingers. He rotates the center of his forehead and then slides to both ends. Over and over again. When he does that you know he is thinking deeply.

"Hey, deep thinking ah?" I smile when Zeus enters my office.

"Hmph, about the projects."

“You know you can’t lie to me, Dane. You can tell that to them but not me. What’s wrong? Tell me.” I sighed before answering.

“Me and Wallace ---” I saw his forehead frowned.

"You and Wallace, what?"

“We’re—”

"Oh come on, Dane, don't be in suspense."

"We're fuck buddies."

"Fuck you,"

"Hey!"

“I’m sorry. Just carried away. But wait, are you serious?”

“Oh Come on, Zeus. Remember when we were dating? I used to mention Wallace to you. So you know how I really love him.”

"And you agreed to be his fuck buddy?"

"I'm the one who offers him."

“Holy shit, Dane. Seriously?”

“Yes, nothing wrong with it, I think.” No one spoke to the two of us. It feels like we both feel the same.

"Are you happy?" Later he asked. "Are you happy with him?"

“I am, too, Zeus. For the first time, I can say I am truly happy.”

"Wait, that means you're not happy with us."

“Oh come on, that's another thing. Brother’s Code friendship is different and my friendship with you is genuine and there was no one like it. What I mean--- me, a woman --- you know --- bed.”

“At least it's clear. But if you are truly happy with him. I will support you, Dane. And I know the boys too.”

"Thanks."

"Anyway, I need to go and my family is already waiting."

"Take care." When Zeus left, I also arranged my belongings to go home. But as I approached I saw Dylan standing in the doorway.

"Dylan?"

"Let's talk." I have no choice but to seatback.

"What are we talking about?"

“Don't pretend that you don't know. You know what it is."

"Dylan ---"

“Dane, I'm not interfering with your happiness. It is just that you chose the wring guy. Wallace is not capable to love then. You are my sister and I don't want you to get hurt. I am trying to avoid you in pain. Wallace will only hurt you. Not because of the woman but because of her ego.”

"What do you mean?"

“If only a woman, I know he can avoid it. But when his pride and ego are trampled on, that's what he can't face.”

"I don't get it."

“You're a Dy, Dane. Whether you like it or not, you can connect and connect with Wallace. Do you think Wallace can handle hearing that he's just using you?”

"Wallace isn't like Dylan."

“How many times does he have to fight, Dane. But he didn't continue just because he heard that the fight would be cooked because I am his partner. So he chose to be my coach and assistant. Wallace is also good at design and has graduated as an engineering architect like me and daddy hires him but he didn't join our company just because he heard that his two proposals passed to dad because of me. Wallace loses his self-confidence when our name is attached to his achievement.”

I don’t know what to say. I like to think Dylan lied to me because he didn’t like Wallace.

“But if you really like him. Stand up until you are hurt. And when you're hurt, claim it.”

"I don't know what to say, Dylan."

“I became your friends' cupid because I didn't care if they were hurt by their stupidity. But I have no intention of being your cupid because when you get hurt, I will spread Wallace's brain right in front of you so that you will come to your senses.”

Then he stood up and adjusted his clothes.

“Wallace is my friend and we have a deeper bond than our siblings. But you are my sister and even though our bonding is not as strong as ours, I am not blind to not see the sacrifice you have done to us. So I will still stand with you, Dane.”

"Dylan."

“Remember this, Dane. You are still my sister. Whatever the decision you have, I will support you. But don’t cry because of your stupidity that you wanted to. I'll repeat it to you, you don't know Wallace. All you know about him is how he is when he is in lust, how he makes you moan, and make you release but you don't know him when it comes to his pride.” And he left me dumbfounded.
