Ellinita's POV:
After hearing all the hurtful words that Chadwick said, I realized where I stood. All I could do was turn to Lorcan for his confirmation.
"It's all true, Ellinita. Sorry if I didn't tell you earlier." Lorcan said sadly as he looked at me.
I angrily faced Chadwick and punched him. I respect him so much because he is my brother. But after what he said to Lorcan? All those hurtful words that I was the one who hurt for him, I never thought that would come out of my brother's mouth.
"Ellinita, don't fight with him. It's okay I understand–"
"You shut up Lorcan, stay there and I'll just talk to my brother." I said and faced Chadwick again.
"Brother, how dare you say all that? Don't judge people! You don't know him that much!" I couldn't stop screaming.
I was still panting and my chest was heaving slightly. If we weren't here in the meeting room, we'd probably be surrounded by nosy and gossipy employees.
"I'm your brother, I'm just concerned about you–"
"Concerned Chadwick? Wow, big word huh! I didn't know that the meaning of being concerned included being judgmental. I'll sue Merriam Webster for that!" I shouted angrily.
"Young lady, don't raise your voice at me. I'm just telling you that you won't get anything from that man! The one–"
"Wow huh? I didn't judge Arshani when you were together and she only finished vocational! I accepted her so you should accept Lorcan too–"
"Don't you dare involve her, Ellinita. She's fucking asleep now because we had an accident last week! I-I'm sorry for saying hurtful words, I'm j-just problematic right now." Chadwick said sadly and hit his forehead.
I turned my gaze to Lorcan. I wiped the tears that fell from my eyes. He kissed me, sign that I should comfort my brother.
"You old wench, what happened?" I asked my brother and held him by the shoulder.
Even though we fight and yell at times, I am soft especially when it comes to family. Chadwick is also the same as Katty, mom and dad. Maybe it's just hereditary.
"Stop cursing you little brat, we had an accident when we were going to pick up the twins from school. It was raining back then, we collided and this is what happened. I'm here to cut my ties with Silvertian because of the work that is being done at mine from the Alekseevs. I just want to be with my twins and my wife, why is it so hard? Fuck it." Chadwick said so I hugged him.
I don't know what to advise because I don't know anything about married life. Even though someone intervened with Lorcan, we still don't have a label.
I thought about my twin nephews Sammy and Sebastian, they must be sad right now. Arshani is in the hospital and Chadwick is still here to finish his business, it is also hard for them especially since they are still young.
I said goodbye to Chadwick and kissed his cheek. He and Lorcan stared at each other, which made me nervous. The older brother approached him and whispered something before patting his shoulder and walking away.
"What did he tell you?" I asked Lorcan when I got close to him.
"He'll fucking pull my balls off if I hurt you." Lorcan said laughing and kissed me on the lips.
I hugged him, I was sad for him. He sacrificed everything, even his own education for his siblings and his animal mother and father. He's really a good man, I'm falling for him even more.
I looked Lorcan in the eye, his expression was now blank. It suddenly softened when he spoke.
"Will you still accept me even if I didn’t finish college? Would you still love me even if I have nothing to be proud of but you?" He asked lazily.
I just saw Lorcan like this. I last saw the worry and sadness in his eyes when we were with Lareina.
It was like something was tickling my heart. No matter how hard a person looks on the outside, they still have something soft inside.
"I don't care about those things, even though you finished elementary school. I don't give a fuck–"
"Stop cursing, it looks bad." He frowned when he said so I mouthed 'sorry'.
"Just come here." I said and pulled Lorcan for a hug.
After flirting in the meeting room, we both went out. Just in time, I caught up with Charlotte and Hailee who were outside.
"Oh my gosh! Reunion guys! You guys are so ugly, and you still don't have a husbands!" Hailee shouted and pulled me.
The three of us did a group hug and screamed. Other employees and agents here are looking at us but we don't care. Hailee and Emman are their bosses, they are our friends.
