Torn Between The Carter Brothers

Chapter 30

Addison

As | stared at Marco right now, it was on the tip of my tongue to out with the truth right now. To just tell him that

| wasn’t dating his brother so he should go ahead and tellwhat he meant, but at the stime, | didn’t want

to be that forward, at least, without having an idea of what it was that he had been about to say. | let out a long

breath, just wishing he’d out with it cause | was dying with curiosity

right now.

“Just tell me, Marco.” | tried again but he shook his head, his lips in a flat las he huffed.

“What's the point? It's gonna be pointless since you're now dating my brother.” He spat the last part

out and | felt myself flinch a little before | dragged a hand through my hair, feeling myself gradually grow more

confused right now.

Is he returning to say he wants to confess tobut is not seeing any point in doing that since I'm now dating

his brother? | didn’t know what he was hinting at. | tried getting him to out with his words a few

more times, but he kept insisting that it was pointless since | was no longer single.

I guess | have to tell him the truth of my relationship with Zade, cause | really want to hear what it is that he’s

about to say toright now. | was about to get those words out, but | found myself

hesitating, cause | know Marco, and at the end of the day, | might end up revealing the truth of my fake

relationship with Zade for nothing... which was why | hesitated again.

“Marco, seriously. Just tellwhat you wanted to say.” | demanded, starting to get frustrated.

“It’s complicated.” He pointed out and | resisted the urge to groan loudly from frustration right now.

“You should just say it either way, I'm sure I'll still understand it.” | tried again but when he still remained silent, |

let out one last sigh as | got to my

feet.

“You're about to get married, Marco. Whatever it is that you're about to say, just say it.” | tried one last time, but

after he got to his feet, he held a hand,

“To do that, | need to know one thing first. “Are you really in love with my brother?” He asked and | pursed my

lips, fighting against myself on the inside. It was on the tip of my tongue to tell him the truth, but | fought hard

against that urge. Should | end up telling him the truth? What if what he reveals todoesn’t end up being

anything meaningful? Then he’ll see how really pathetic | am, so with that in mind, | strengthened my resolve

and decided that to be on the safer side, | wouldn't reveal anything to him just yet.

| stepped away from the island and cleared my throat. “Um, I think I'll head back up now. Good night,

Marco.” | breathed out, having to force those words out, because what I really wanted to say to him was that |

wished he’d end his engagement with Aisha and get married toinstead! | didn’t end up saying that though,

cause | might be pathetic but not that pathetic.

| turned to leave when he didn’t respond, but then | was suddenly grabbed by the arm and pressed up against a

wall, while he stood right in front of me, his hands on both sides of my head, trappingbetween his hard body

and the wall behind me. | bit my lip as | suppressed a shiver, this is a position I've fantasized about so much, so

this is literally a dream ctrue. However, unlike my dreams

where he’d be kissingstupid right now, he had a scowl on his face as he regarded me.

“You should stop fucking Zade, Addison.” He bit out and | blinked slowly.

“What?” | whispered, my brain telling like it was short circuiting right now.

“I- it drivescrazy, Addison. It getsmad with anger. | really don't like it.” He bit out and each

word kept washing overas | kept blinking up at him.

“Oh.” | whispered just as it continued.

“It makesfeel so... so murderous.” He gritted out and | felt my heart start to pound in my chest, so

hard that it felt like my heart was about to beat out of my chest. | stopped breathing completely as | blinked up

at him.

“Why?” | whispered.

“Huh?”

“Why does it get you mad?” | repeated, my breath bated and my heart still pounding hard against my

ribs.

The way he was acting right now, it feels possessive and jealous, and it leftfeeling confused and hopeful,

which was why | kept waiting for his response after minutes trickled by.

When he didn’t respond, I licked my lips before continuing.

“Marco?” | began, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Huh?” He breathed out, his voice as soft as mine, and | felt a small shiver roll down my spine.

“D- do you want me?” | whispered, our eyes still locked as those words left my mouth.

“Are you in love with my brother?” He whispered back and I blinked slowly, my brain struggling to catch up with

the sudden switch,

After a few heartbeats, Marco’s hands reached down to cup my face and my heart jumped right into my throat.

“See... you can’t even answer that question.” He whispered quietly, his eyes dark and | felt my heart

stumble around inside of me.

| struggled to cup with something to say just as he continued. “I knew it. You can’t ever stop

loving me, no matter who you're with, or you who claim to love. You'll always still be in love with me.” He

breathed out, his breath fanning my lips as he spoke, and then he was bringing his mouth on mine

in a kiss.
