Watching the sunset is the best therapy especially that you’re in deep pain. While watching it, I realized that it would be a great scene if I was sitting on the beach, starring into it, or maybe staring with someone.
I covered that tiniest illusion of mine. I should focused what’s in front of me. The reality and not the illusion or fantasy.
The sun has already set, and darkness has spread throughout the place. I realized that the only place with light was the guard house.
Did my brother forget to turn on all the lights, or is Kelsey still not home? Maybe, they are not yet home.
I didn't hear any noises or anyone coming from them. I usually heard their voices, which were either laughing, talking, dancing, or watching movies in the living room or have light warm conversation in the kitchen.
They are not home yet. Maybe they're just too busy at work.
I considered going outside and turning on all the lights, but I was afraid that they might see me. But, it’s impossible. I just have to open it and come back here in my room.
My gaze was drawn to my phone, which was nestled among the lavender flowers on the table. This phone is not mine. Kairus gave it to me and I don't want to accept it, but he had bought it and stated it would go to waste if I didn't use it.
I used my phone's flashlight to find all of the switches on each floor. It was really silent, and no one was here. I want to cook them food, but I don't want Kelsey to be surprised that their meal is on their table and no one else is around.
I returned to my room and sat in my bed. The bed becomes so soft and fluffy that I want to lay down for the rest of my life, but I don't want to get used to it.
I opened my phone, and within seconds, I received notifications.
“Aime is online…”
“Ask where she is right now…”
That sentence was only visible in the notice box. I don't want to be lured to contact them again. With a broken heart. I closed my eyes and uninstalled my texting apps. I'm now ghosting them, maybe I am, but it hasn't been easy for me. It's difficult for me to leave them without explanation or just simple note, saying, “Yeah, I will disappear in your life now.”
Hours passed, and I was concerned that no one was home. So I looked up my brother's phone number and texted him.
"You're both not at home. Will you be getting home late? ”
I’ve waited but my brother didn’t text back. While waiting, I went to my feed to entertain or to make myself busy
I came to a halt and thought about him. I've never done anything like this before. I was intrigued and entered his name into the search bar. I'm intrigued about his life and interests. Kelsey seemed to describe Kairus as an introvert, but we had no idea that in between social gatherings and meetings, he would at least spot someone or we might see something different about him that no one does know.
Perhaps Kelsey was right. I've only seen the awards, certification, achievements, meeting conference, and girls, but he wasn't really looking at them.
He's not paying attention at all!
No one would notice if I was stalking, right? It's perfectly natural. It's to be updated in the recent news. Even though I've been sugarcoating it, my heart will tell you that I stalked him because I want to see him.
I play a video clip about him that I found.
The guy reporter smiled. “So, what have you feel after Nicole went to greet you?"
Kairus furrowed his brow. I'm sure he wouldn't notice or remember! Nicole, if I'm not mistaken, is the most beautiful woman in the showbiz world.
"Nicole Canon. “The gorgeous actress who came to greet you."
He pondered for a moment to remember, then nodded slowly after long minute.
“A-ah…” he mumbled. The reporter smiled expectedly to him. “Ah, she’s… good.”
The end of the clip. I shook my head, and chuckled. It’s so clear that he’s not really into social thing. He even forgets about Nicole. Wow, I'm amazed how Nicole went to him despite all the boys were the one who always wanted her attention.
I'm not surprised at all by Kairus. He's handsome, attractive, powerful, and affluent, and simply by associating your name with him, you may become famous in minutes.
I stopped stalking about him on social media. There's still a lot we don't know about Kairus behind that camera. I wanted to get to know him. I wanted to get close to him and listen to his thoughts, but I'm not in a position to do so.
Who just am I? I'm just Aime Anderson, nothing, and Andrew's younger sister, nothing good and interesting at all.
I feel insecure wen just thinking about him. I don’t stand with him. He’s good, popular, good body built and me, who is just a strange young girl.
I just realized that stalking is not good at all. It just give bad energy about your, yourself and the situation. Indeed comparing yourself to the others is the enemy of our self-esteem.
I jump into clips about nature, moons.
But I grimaced as I scrolled through my feed, noticing a lot of Kelsey's photos. I didn't mind because Kelsey was already popular before marrying my brother, and her vacation and travel posts were always popular.
After nearly five times of refreshing, I came to a halt when I noticed another guy beside Kelsey. I scowled and continued to stare at the statement I had just read.
“Kelsey was spotted having dinner with Casper yesterday.”
What? No, it may be normal. Her bestfriends are boys, therefore those who aren't fans of her may be unaware or misunderstood.
I’ve been skipping post anything about her, but in my most recent refresh, it was a news video clip.
What's going on with the netizen right now?
What’s with the netizen right now?
“The beautiful model Kelsey Salvador Anderson broke up with his husband after only a month of marriage.”
And, my phone fell hard.
She cheated? They only married for a month and a day, and then they split up because she cheated? Is that true? I think we certainly don't believe what we see on social media.
I pick up my phone again and must first check and validate it.
I texted my brother again.
"What's going on in the news right now? Have you seen the latest news? Is this false information? You're with her, correct? She won’t do that to you, right?”
My phone started vibrating. He responded very quickly!
"Please do not use any social media. It's not good for your health, and I brought you food. It’s coming there, Aime.”
I shook my head hardly. No way. I texted him again.
“No! Tell me, that’s new is fake right? They are just making a fuss about it because the girls hate to see you with Kelsey, and the boys hate to see you with her, right!”
My brother texted me once more. I'm furious and outraged right now, and I know I shouldn't let it control me, especially now, but I can't. We are talking about my brother! His heart! His life right now!
I get out of bed. It's not healthy for my heart, but who cares about my heart when my brother's heart is in shambles right now?
He didn't deny it, therefore is there something wrong with their marriage? When did this begin? When this did started? Why and what’s the reason? Their marriage is fine and perfect!
Why? What’s the meaning of this? Kelsey promised she won’t break and hurt my brother’s heart.
As I heard the door slam so loudly, I flinched and startled. I dashed to the front door. I didn't even notice anyone was here. I slowly opened the door and saw Kelsey standing there crying. She was crying and didn't notice me.
Before I could go out, my brother already appeared in the stairs.
“What’s the meaning of that Kel?” My brother asked, painfully. He look so tired and stress. He's looking back at her, faintly.
"What's the meaning of that pictures Kel? You and Casper were having dinner. My ex bestfriend-“
Kelsey turned around to face my brother, saying, "I should have asked you about it." What is the meaning of this at all? Are you still questioning me, or would you like to explain something to me?”
My brother became deafeningly silent and speechless. My brother should be angry because she cheated, and why is he just standing there, looking confused, in anguish, and begging!
"I've loved you my entire life. I've been so honest to you, Andrew," Kelsey murmured sadly, as if her heart would burst if she didn't let it all out. "You fucking pursued me. You were madly in love with me. You dare my life, and for what reason? You came into my life and made me your girlfriend for a whole different reason! You do not love me! You love the idea about me and my name!”
Kelsey moved in closer, punching my brother's heart wearily.
What does it all mean, Kelsey? How did cheating wind up in your name's excuse?
"How come you're so quiet? Defend your fucking self, Andrew," Kelsey yelled aggressively, sobbing. My brother's hands reached out to comfort and hug her, but he pushed them away. "Prove to me that Casper is lying!" Tell me he said that to wreck our lives! To ruin you! To destroy you!! You wouldn’t stay with me for that damn long just because you want to link your name with mine right?”
What…what the the fuck?
“You loved me because of my name who could save you and your sister? You married me to give your sister a better future? You married me because you could use me, not because you loved me. It was your plan. I…I beg you, deny it. Fucking deny it, Andrew!”
My brother stood there, watching her wife fall.
