EPISODE 34; BROTHER
“Are we heading straight to the hospital or should we go home first?” Dagrin implored.
“My brother won’t be happy to see me this way. I don’t want anything that will make him feel bad or get lost in thoughts so let’s go home.”
“Sorry to ask Mafia Lord. But who among you is the senior?” Jayden mumbled.
“He’s my senior brother Jayden. But at some point, it feels like I am cause I’ve been the one doing it all.”
“And that’s because he’s been in a coma battling with his life” Lucas murmured. “That dude is damn strong” he added and smiled.
“No dragging in that. But what’re your plans for him now Snipy?” Ariana asserted. “Will he be going back to school or will you build a new company for him?”
“Well, I can’t plan his life for him. He alone will decide that. I’m freaking rich so he will get whatever he wants.”
“What if he demands to see your dad Mistress. What will you do?” Declan asked the same question that has been going on in my mind since Frank informed me my brother is ok now.
“I can’t stop him from living his life Declan. My dad must’ve done a lot to me but he’s still my dad and even though I personally don’t wanna have anything to do with him again, I can’t stop my brother from going to him if he decides to.”
“That’s true” the Queen concurred. “You’re a sister everyone in the world should wish to have. A sister who will go to any length for her sibling. Your decision is the best and I can’t wait to see this your brother.”
“Put on your seatbelts, please. We are about to land” Dagrin announced.
“And when did we start using seatbelts?” I retorted sarcastically and chuckled.
“Always stubborn” he murmured and I rolled my eyes even though he wasn’t seeing me. “Got any gum there Ariana?” I added peeking at her.
“You know I don’t lack gums. Here” she replied and offered me one. I took it from her and threw it into my mouth. “So are you guys still gonna stay with me? Or…,”
“I don’t know for others but I’m sticking with you” Ariana countered immediately.
“Same with us,” Linda said too pointing at herself and the Queen.
Lucas and Jayden said nothing but their silence gave out the response I possibly needed. Their silence revealed; ‘we live and die together.’
“Thought you said we were about to land Dagrin? What’s keeping?”
“We are here” he replied and flew down.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
I got down before they did and strolled to the door of the penthouse which was invisible. Touched the revealing spot in the air and the house became visible. We entered and I pressed the spot again and it went back to invisible.
“Welcome Lord Snipy. Welcome Legend Declan” Mira’s voice echoed.
“Why didn’t you welcome the others, Mira!” I growled.
“I don’t want to cause I don’t know them Lord Snipy.”
“You don’t know Dagrin?”
“I used to before. But not anymore Lord.”
Not being in the mood for much talk I ignored it and showed my guests to their rooms then entered mine.
I took off my cloak, threw it into the washing machine, and entered the bathroom.
“Fill up the jacuzzi with warm water Mira” I commanded and it did without asking questions for the very first time.
I entered into the already filled-up jacuzzi and got lost in the thoughts of everything that has happened so far.
A book I once read explained that the brain terms to recall and plan things more while one is bathing or using the toilet. I never believed but how I was feeling right now just made me to. It still saddens me that my step mum’s twin had to die.
Tears cascaded down my cheeks as I resumed bathing. I strolled out of my room after bathing and dressing up to see everyone already waiting for me. “Get me my cigar Dagrin and a glass of wine please.”
Declan opened his mouth to say something but I glared at him and he closed it back.
“I’m waiting Dagrin,” I said and smiled. He hesitated before he walked out. Entered back seconds later and lighted the cigar then handed it to me with the glass of wine. “Are we set?”
“Yea” they answered and started striding towards the door but I didn’t move an inch.
“What’s wrong Mistress?” Declan who noticed I didn’t move stopped and asked.
“Let’s take the train” I grumbled and they all raised their eyebrows at me.
“But why should we do that?” Linda asked and threw a new gum into her mouth.
“I just don’t want to go on anything private right now. I’m tired of flying in the piper.”
“We can take one of the cars” Lucas suggested and I shook my head. “I don’t want that too. Let’s just take the train” I answered and dropped the empty glass.
Dagrin and Declan strolled past me without saying a word and I followed. We walked through the route leading to the railway and got out. I was about to touch the spot that will make the house invisible when others walked out. “I thought you guys weren’t coming” I teased.
“Not like we got a choice. We’ve already decided to stick with you and that’s what we are doing” Linda retorted.
“Thanks, guys” I whispered and touched the spot making the house invisible. We strolled closer to the railway and it didn’t take lanky before a train halted before us and we entered. We got out when it stopped at our destination and strolled into the hospital.
“Snipy!” Doctor Frank who was talking to his receptionist screamed sighting us.
“How are you, Frank?” I asked when we got closer to him.
“I’m fine Snipy. Greetings all” he directed at the others.
“I’m so happy to see that you’re fine Frank,” Declan said and both shook hands.
“I’m happy too and also appreciate the fact that you kept our Mistress’s brother safe” Dagrin muttered and both shook hands too.
“I’m also happy that you both kept Snipy safe and didn’t lose hope on us. I deeply appreciate it.”
“You’re family now Frank. Your safety is on me. Can I see my brother?”
“Sure, Snipy. This way.”
We followed him and entered into a shiny sparkling ward. “Sister” my brother breathed lowly sighting me.
“Brother,” I replied and tears dropped from my eyes.
