After Ace showed me around, we decided to seat with our parents who were already expecting us to join them, Ace mother kept looking to the door from time to time, I could clearly see she was expecting someone but before i could ask who the visitor was, a familiar but grown face walked in.
Jason, I screamed, struggling against Ace grip on my wrist, happy and sad at the time to see him. I had no idea he was coming tonight, I guess my parents already did because, they couldn't hide their smile.
With the strange turn of events happening today, am positive my parents knows more about Jason than I do so, am not going to ask the obvious.
Audrey, meet Jason my older son, Mrs Demetriou said introducing him to me but i guess you two already know each other.
I nodded in shock at the mention of "Older Son" but it all made sense now. Scooting over so he could seat beside me, he chuckled, you're one fiesty tigress he sneakered pulling me in for a hug.
I smiled at the nickname I love.
Jason is someone I had a crush on before he transferred to another school, same time I started liking Ace, more like he was my first love.
Ace never knew about the magnitude of my feelings for Jason until tonight, I can see the look of betrayal in his eyes when I accidentally mumbled how much Jason absence affected me.
I know my friends think am in love with Ace but the truth is, I only liked him for having a striking resemblance to Jason & until now I never knew they were brothers.43Please respect copyright.PENANARmqZWqxXgS
Tears pulled in my eyes, I inhaled his masculine scent and the memory of us when we were younger flooded back in, he's different now. Although he looks older than Ace, Ace is attractively built and more handsome than him.
Susie died, I whispered to him.
I am not aware of that he said, releasing me and scooping my face in his palms, I'll buy you another cat and we can name her Susie okay.....
You never looked back, why?
Am sorry, believe me when i say it hurt me so much leaving you here and I never for once stopped thinking about us.
I believe you I said, squeezing his hands in reassurance, he smiled before clearing his throat, have you told her he ask nonchalantly to no one.
Leave it, she doesn't need to know right now Ace said.
Oh really, cause the last time I checked, this does not concern you and she has every right to know, since it involves her.
Are they talking about me, I think to myself in silence fiddling with my phone pouch.
The news willl only cause her to be unhappy and she doesn't deserve that Ace argued back weakly, you could see he was unsure of whatever it is he is saying.
Are you sure about that, Jason asked mockingly.
Mom suddenly smiled at me, then, Jason drew me closer to his side, she deserves to know, he said that directly in my face like he really needed me to know this conversation was all about me.
She doesn't Ace roared, causing me to freeze. Have never seen him so worked up before, everything he does is always calculated, tonight is very unlike him.
The power he was radiating made the atmosphere to be damp, even Jason was frightened at first but masked up the fear before looking at his parents.
Ace, his father warned.
He wanted to say something but when his eyes fell on my face, I was stunned when he suddenly calmed down.
Audrey, your parents and I just signed a marriage contract of you and my son Jason, you will be getting engaged to him next month while your parents and i will plan the wedding Ace mom said.
The memory of Jason giving me a promise ring came back and I find myself agreeing to the engagement and wedding plans without any complaints.
I read the contract signed by my parents and realized that not only will Jason become the heir to the gang throne but will also inherit the family property/ multi billion dollar businesses. 43Please respect copyright.PENANACPpnMV5dJY
Mr and Mrs Demetriou emotions remained the same, my parents face also look more relaxed than when we came in. They should be, their only daughter is about to be wedded to a soon to be billionaire, am not materialistic in nature but I just love the sound of it.
I look to Ace and he has his eyes on some place else, why do I feel a pang in my heart? Maybe because I feel sort of guilty for misleading him but it's not like Ace and I was entangled in any romantic relationship.
I thought the night will end right there after the breaking news of my wedding to Jason but, i got another shocking news when his mom talked about Ace engagement to the school bitch Estella.
Why? I ask.
Everyone looked at me and, I immediately showed my phone to them, pretending I was reacting to a message on whatsapp.
Thankfully they bought my lie. There is no way am going to have her as my sister in-law, was I really mad at that or something else, I couldn't tell yet.
Seeing her at school was enough torture for me but, having her as Ace wife, means twenty four hours torture, I think to myself but there was something else bothering my mind, something I couldn't really pin.
Am tired, i can't wait for this night to be over, all I want to do right now is hop on my bed and get some sleep.
Jason, grabbed my phone and put his number in. When he gave it back to me, I added a love emoji to it before saving it and giving him mine.
All this time Ace didn't validate my presence, am disappointed at him for doing that. Finally, he got up and walked away without looking back at anyone.
Until we left, Ace never returned. Which left me pondering over why he couldn't just be happy for his brother's wedding arrangements?
Or be happy for me.
