“Wait forwhile | go get you swater,”
|
| murmured once she was already nodding off even more, then | gently set her in on the bed and rose to my feet.
She let out a soft sigh and curled up into a small, adorable ball while nodding.
“Okay, don’t be long.”
| let out a relieved breath after leaving the room and shutting the door after me. She’s undoubtedly already
falling for me.
| was heading for the kitchen when Marco suddenly emerged from nowhere, then he was punchingin the jaw
before | could see his hand coming.
“You bastard!” He growled, aiming another punch atbut | easily caught his hand this tand shoved him
aside, then | grinned at him, acting completely oblivious as | folded my arms.
“What's the matter, dearest brother? Care to explain the reason for this tantrum?”
He was visibly fuming, and it almost seemed like this is the angriest I've seen him in a long while. He pointed a
hand atas he gritted his next words out.
“So, you're really fucking her?!” He thundered, his veins almost popping from how hard he was scowling right
now.
“I heard everything. | thought it was a joke but you're really together?” He continued, his teeth still gritted tightly
and | rolled my eyes, attempting to walk past him, but as expected, he blocked me. | made a sigh of rolling my
eyes as | focused on his scowling face again.
“What do you want, Marco? | cdown to get swater for my girlfriend, seeing as her throat had gotten
raw from how much she was screaming. Now, if you'll excuse me...” | made to slip past him but he blocked me
again.
“You don’t deserve her. Someone as messed up as you don’t deserve at all. So, you've really taken her virginity?
You bastard who run through girls faster than underwear is the last person on earth that deserved it.” He
snapped, voice loud and | wondered if he wasn’t worried should Aisha overhear him right now.
I rolled my eyes then | arched a brow at him. “Really, now? Okay so, who do you think deserved her virginity?
You?”

His jaw clenched tightly as he kept staring at me, then he stepped closer to me. “And what if | say | do? After all,
I'm the man you'll never becin your entire life even if you chose to clean up all the messes you've created
in your entire life. I'm definitely a way better man compared to you, so what if i say that | do deserve it?” He
demanded, voice lowered this time.
I let out a scoff as | regarded him for a few seconds. “Then, I'd say that you're ridiculous as fuck. She’s your ex,
she’s no longer your concern. You should not be so worried about her, should your fiancee be here right now,
she'd almost have an heart attack.” | offered but his scowl only deepened.
“What do you actually want?” He questioned after a few heartbeats.
I
“Just-1 know you must want something, | can see that, | just can’t figure out what it is. So, just tell
| folded my arms this tas | kept staring at him. He was such a fool if he seriously couldn't figure out what |
wanted. It’s not even like | want anything from him, I just wanna get back what belongs to me, that’s all.
“Will you seriously givewhatever i want?” | asked after a bit and he hesitated for a moment before nodding,
his fingers rubbing through his hair.
“If it’s in my power, yes.”
Bastard.

“And what are you gonna demand in return?” | asked and he responded almost immediately.
“That you leave Addison alone. Just leave her be, go out of her life and never look back.”
| arched a brow again as | spoke. “But if | do that, she’ll be single again. And what's it to you anyway since you'll
have been married to Aisha by then.” This time, a storm cover his face before he squared his jaw and
responded in a flat tone.
“You don’t need to concern yourself about that, just agree to leave her be and I'll give you whatever
you want.”
His selfishness was actually disgusting, but he liked to act like he was the saint between the two of us,
while | was the monster.
This time, | folded my hands as | responded. “Well, brother dearest, I'm certain you won't be able to give me
whatever it is that | want.”
mem
| wasn’t stupid enough to ask him to givemy birthright, cause he'd never agree just like that. And should he
be aware of that, he'll definitely try his best to throwoff this island.

Chapter 20.
He scowled at me, clearly irritated. “You can’t know that if you don't tell me! I'll give you whatever you
want.”
| gave him a deadpan look. “You really care about her?”
He let out a long breath. “No, | don’t. | just don’t want you to hurt her. I can just tell that you're using her for
ssort of game, probably to makejealous.”
“And you're not jealous?” | asked and he let out a laugh.
“What? Of course not. We last dated years ago, I'm happy with Aisha right now.”
“If you're not jealous, then you shouldn't care of what happens to her.” | informed him and he scowled
at me.
“Again, | don’t care. | just don’t want her to get hurt. She can be dumb sometimes, and I'm sure she can’t tell
that you'll hurt her. But | just know You'll hurt her no matter what.” He informedas he gavea dark look.
| made a show of rolling my eyes, then | patted his shoulder fondly, when what | really wanted to do was to
punch him. “You hurtwith your words, brother. I'm not gonna hurt her. And | don’t want anything, | was just
messing with you. Like | said to you before, I'm just here to support you.”
“But...” he started, but this time, | gently pushed him out of the way and walked towards the kitchen, calling
over my shoulders at him.
“Need go get swater for my girl.”
He glared atlike he wished to stabright now, and I laughed all the way to the kitchen.
The way he thinks he’s so oblivious and that no one can see right through his bluff is beyond hilarious.
After getting the water, when | was heading back, he was still in the sspot, a stormy expression
across his face.
“You really don’t deserve her.” He bit out. “And if you hurt her, | swear, I'll ruin your entire life.”
| let out a sigh, then | patted his shoulder again. He shrugged my grip off fast, while still scowling at
me.
“Goodnight, little brother.” | murmured, but he scoffed.
“Don’t callthat.” He snapped but | ignored him as | resumed climbing up the stairs.
“Say hello to Aisha for me.” | called out to him, but he flippedthe b

| climbed up the rest of the way and got into our bedroom, closing and locking the door after me. When | walked
up to the bed, | wasn’t surprised to see that Adddison was already sound asleep.
| set the water on the bedside table, then I slid into the bed beside her, my eyes trained on her face for a few
seconds before | reached out and tugged her into my arms, right against my chest.
Cuddling her like this would make her feel treasured once she wakes up in the morning.
Although | detest physical touches, there seemed to be something about this woman that killed off those irks of
mine. I've never cuddled before, so this was supposed to feel weird, but it doesn’t. She felt warm against me,
and she fit perfectly in my arms, her head nestled underneath my head and her soft breath ticking my throat.
She inched even closer to me, and a smug feeling settled in my
chest.
My plans would undoubtedly completely fall into place in no time.
In the next moment, when she mumbled out a single word, that train of thought halted.
“Marco...”
It was whispered softly, and it was clear that she was presently dreaming.
A little feeling of irritation trickled through my mind after that, and for a moment, | was tempted to shove her
away. It’s one thing seducing her while knowing she’s in love with my brother, it’s another thing having to
stomach her whispering his nwhile being in my arms.
Although it didn’t mean much toanyway. Just three more days then | won't have to keep up with this
ridiculous ruse.
Three more days.
