Shocks And Revelations.

Shocks And Revelations.
Julien's Pov :

"There you are my favourite brother. Why don't we sit and strike a deal together ?" I saw Jaimin leaning against the door, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth making me want to frown or may be rub that smirk off him with a punch.

Did he really have to come here and ruin my dinner time ? This was the only time that I could spend with Bella and our little unborn baby but he had to drop in now !

I thought of the possibility to simply get him thrown out of the premises of my house by the guard but then that will attract unnecessary media lime light.

Jaimin was standing there in his new formal clothes in place of his casual ones he usually wore throughout his life.

I wouldn't necessarily object to that for he did look good. Only if he had actually earned the position rather than snatching it away from me when I tried to take him to office along with me.

I tried my best to keep my anger in control, I did not want to feed Jaimin's ego by letting go off my self-control and lash out at him. I did not believe him even one percent, he could be filming all of these and I did not want to give him the benefit of doubt.

"Forgot the address of your own house, huh ?" I asked him calmly with a hint of sarcasm as I watched his eyes scanning the insides of my house. He has been here a few times since his birth but not really lived here like I did.

"Just came to spend time with my brother ? Is that not a good enough reason ?" He replied with a fake pout making me roll my eyes at him. Only if we ever had the brotherly bond. This sibling rivalry was among us since like forever, even when we were kids.

In all honesty, we never really got the time to get the bond between us. My childhood was spent mostly missing my mother or being groomed to take over the Company, anything in between was just mere destruction. Dad always kept reminding us that only one of us could take over the Company while the other would have to always bow down, souring our relationship.

"You cannot really expect me to give a positive answer to that question of yours," I replied to which some unreadable emotion crossed his eyes before he nodded clearly looking unsettled.

"Are you in trouble ?" I asked him plainly. Since childhood he practically always suns to me to cover up his shit. He always came to me when he got into any trouble so may be that's the reason ?

His eyes widened for a moment before he composed himself and started speaking after clearing his throat.

"I get it that I'm not really invited here but do you leave your guests standing on your doorstep ? Isn't that a low standard for Julien Fernando ?" Jaimin remarked making me clench my fingers in a fist, inside my trouser pockets.

He's irritating.

Why can't he just go the fuck away so that I can go upstairs and fuck my wife ?

As soon as her thought crossed my mind I heard her voice calling from behind.

"Please come in Jaimin," Bella pushed me away from the door passing a glare, which thankfully only I could notice to welcome him in. She's just being too good than he deserves. I let my fingers brush with her sides as he passed past me, turning her eyes a little with a blush creeping on her cheeks before moving away.

I wanted to keep her and our baby as much away from all this shit but again I guess it's for the best. She's working under him for the time being and pissing him off wouldn't really do any good. Though I cannot guarantee that I wouldn't kick his ass if I get a chance.

"Thank You Isabella," Jaimin nodded with a smile to her as she returned the gesture.

I closed the door when he moved inside, Bella making him sit on the couch in the living room. I met her eyes as she stood by the staircase signalling her to go upstairs.

I really don't want her to get panicked or anything if this conversation did not go peaceful. Plus she needed rest for she has been on her toes pretty much the entire day. She nodded at me before walking upstairs.

I heard my phone buzzing in my pocket which I took out seeing a message popping up from Bella.

Little Honey Head : Stay Calm Mr. Angry Bird take it out later...upstairs ;)

Me : Can't wait to do it !

I typed in a quick message before putting my phone down, breathing out fast and bitting the insides of my cheeks to prevent myself from smiling like an idiot in front of Jaimin. I was literally stuck with my half-brother downstairs while my wife is sitting in our bedroom and giving me ideas.

My trance was broken as Jaimin started speaking. It was best that I got this thing done as fast as possible so that I could run back to the bedroom.

"You seem to have changed a few things in here from the last time I visited. All the blacks and greys seem to be changed," he spoke genuinely moving his eyes around the house which I took as a cue to sit down on the opposite couch. If he was here for a long conversation I would better sit down to avoid straining my legs.

"Well things change with time Jaimin. And to answer your question yes, the change in the colours is because of my wife," I looked around the room noticing how much things have changed since Bella came here.

It's said that people's choice of colour is the gateway to their vulnerable soul. It was all grey and black in the past, gradually being replaced my other colours just as my heart opened to let Bella in. The thought was warmed my body up as I focused back on Jaimin.

"So why are you really here ?" I asked crossing my arms over my chest trying to cut the small talks off. If he was in my house at this time there has to be something else he would at least give me or Nicole a call.

He sighed before looking at me with pleading eyes, all the confidence and new CEO aura that he was holding till now vanishing away.

"Look. You need to hear me out totally vefore coming up with a conclusion. I am here to negotiate everything with you," he spoke with a defeated sigh and holding his arms upward in a surrendering position confusing me totally. He was here to negotiate something ? I thought that he was very much contend with whatever has been happening so far.

What was he even trying to tell me ?

"Julien I know that you are going to try to make our company go into losses. Actually not just try but you will succeed also, but can we please just stop all this shit and find some middle way ?" He continued to look at me with convincing puppy eyes. Too bad he was not Bella, only her puppy eyes magic works on me.

But again I think I underestimated Jaimin. He understood my strategy quite well.

"And why do you think I should do that ?" I asked maintaining my professional tone. We were not here to negotiate stuffs like brothers but like businessmen. He was acting weird and I had to be careful with both my words and actions because this could be a trap.

"Because I am not a tad bit interested in all these business and Company stuff ? Hell I hate staring at those disgust filled faces of your employees who think that I am some monkey " He replied with frustration showing through his voice making my eyes widen in surprise. He did not want any of these ? What does that even mean ?

"Wait. What ?" I asked my brows narrowing at him to which he squirmed in his position before taking out few files from the envelope folder that he was carrying.

"See and read them yourself," he replied before arranged the papers accordingly.

He laid down the papers in front of me before motioning me to go through them. I picked up one of them to read what was written on them.

Non-Disclosure Agreement.

I went through the clauses and the conditions of the agreement my eyes widening with each sentence. The two signatures at the end of the agreement made my breath hitch in shock.

He couldn't have done this right ?

Was this some kind of a prank ?

"Dad has threatened you into taking over the Company ?"
