"Bridgette, Honey. There's someone mom wants to introduce you to, so come downstairs."In the end, I decided to shut the laptop because I was so busy studying for the final exam. I hurried down the steps.I could see Mom with someone from a distance. Mom's eyes sparkled with joy as she regarded the young man in front of her. He was so unknown to me that I had no idea who he was. The man appeared to be hiding his face as he cast a long glance downward. And from what I can tell, mom just lately got to know him."Hi, Mom. What's up?""You took so long, Honey.""Sorry, Mom. I was a bit preoccupied," I apologized a bit as I said.Mom grasped my hand and grinned sympathetically. I also grinned. Sincerity be told, my parents smiles usually contagious. I'm not sure why it makes me feel so good to see them pleased.She announced, "Mom has a surprise." Her eyes were beaming with joy."Surprise? And what is that?" I had a question.Mom's eyes moved. Mom grinned broadly as she continued to look at the man who was still looking down in front of her."Him."I echoed Mom and said, "Him?"What's wrong with that man. He didn't impress me in any particular way. His frame seemed eerily slender. His attire appeared worn-out as well.His face wasn't yet visible to me. But there was something about him that really stood out to me. His locks. Yes, his hair does appear to have a smooth texture. The hue is exquisite. Light brown has always been a color I've desired. the same shade of hair as dad."He is your brother."I was somewhat taken aback. Is that correct? Mom certainly wasn't joking. Oh my. I at last ran into him. I found out I have a brother from mum a week ago.Shocked?I was, of course.I just know I'm the lone kid in this household. I couldn't wait to see him as soon as mum said she would bring him. And now we had been reunited."Hello, brother. I'm Bridgette. nice to see you." I reached out a hand to him. We had to wait a while. He finally extended his hand, albeit shakily, and I saw it. He unhooked our hands immediately and said. "Axe. Call me Axe. I'm not used to it." "May I hug you?" I queried. He quickly looked up, and I wasn't sure what was wrong with my query. He was very attractive, which is something I had never considered before. very attractive His eyes had a distinctive tint.Oh, I'll just explain. His eyes are a light ash hue in one and a light hazel tint in the other. I may name it heterochromia because I found it really attractive to drown in them.His lips were flawless, and his eyebrows were extremely thick. How could such a wonderful combination just be visible on his face? Did God truly love his people? I started to feel envious."You're so aggressive, Bridgette. You frightened him," Mom cried out in shock.I simply smiled innocently. I was seeing my older brother for the first time, and I wanted to hug him."Honey, let your brother get used to it. Later, feel free to give him a hug."I snorted in shock, but I nevertheless followed my mother's instructions. That's accurate. Axe might have needed some adjusting.Related chapters
Aldrom & Arlana The Beginning 2
Day after day.Week after week.Month after month.There were many changes after Axe's arrival. My family life felt complete. I still can't get over the fact that I have a brother.I tried to ask mom how it all made sense. At our current age, why were we just brought together. We should have been together all along, sharing our love. Understanding each other's character and protecting each other.In fact, neither Axe nor I are like that. He's so closed off, even though he doesn't isolate himself in his room anymore. I'm quite grateful for that, at least I can get to know him even though he's like a thick book. I have to read it sheet by sheet, so that I know what's on the next page. But mom never wanted to tell me the real reason for Axe not being with us since he was little.Unfortunately mom forgot how I was. If there was no satisfactory answer, I would find out on my own."Hi, Axe. Want to accompany me shopping? There are some books I want to bring home, and yes... my friend has a b
Aldrom & Arlana The Half of Happines
Oh My. It's real?I can't believe it!After receiving my graduation two months ago. Mom and dad finally agreed that I would continue my studies at Harvard University. Luckily I was accepted into one of the faculties there, Harvard Graduate School of Design. Oh, I can't wait to be a new student."Bridgette, what's going on? What are you screaming about?" asked mom at my door.I quickly grabbed my laptop, revealing the monitor screen with the writing on it.Without me asking, mom read it carefully. Soon mom smiled and gave me a gentle peck on the forehead."I'm so proud of you, Honey.""Thanks mom. I love you.""Me too. So, wanna help me? We'll make a celebration for you."No need, Mom. It'll be too much trouble.""You're doubting mom, ehm?""It's not that, I mean—“ My words were cut off and stuck in the air. Mom pulled my hand towards the kitchen. It didn't take long for the once clean kitchen to turn into quite a mess.
Aldrom & Arlana Dark Side
Today is Saturday.It's been six days since that night. The night Axe kicked me out, I never again set foot there, in his room. I didn't even see him for six whole days.In the mornings Axe would always leave first, leaving breakfast behind, and at night he'd come home so late. Axe seemed to avoid me, as if seeing me wasn't part of his activities anymore.I myself tried to look unconcerned. What did I do wrong to him anyway? Why did his attitude change so much. For all I know, he's never said that he has any objections to my going to New York tomorrow. I hope my guess isn't right that he's a bit disapproving about me and mom and dad's decision.Unfortunately, mom and dad won't be able to accompany me tomorrow. Yesterday morning they said goodbye to Uncle Luke's hotel, who is in Bristol celebrating his wedding day with his girlfriend, Denisa. Uncle Luke is dad's close relative and business partner. He's so kind and caring. I'm sure his girlfriend will be very lucky to have Uncle Luke as
Aldrom & Arlana Birthday Party
5 years laterI took a deep breath. Trying to calm myself down. This is my eighth day working here. The door bearing the words 'President Director' seemed to force my heart to pump faster.Not knowing what Mr. Witson was going to discuss, I was summoned to his room right after the lunch hour was over. What was even more thrilling was that I was only a substitute assistant, while the previous assistant was on maternity leave. Yes, probably about a whole year according to my contract."Come in!" The baritone voice invited me to open the glass door.I entered with full nervousness. Because Mr. Witson is such a cold and untouchable person. His eyes were currently staring at me sharply, I felt like my entire body was being skinned just by that sense of sight."Sit down." I smiled awkwardly as soon as I noticed his somewhat softened voice."What's wrong, Si-"Ah. I thinned my lips, not having finished my sentence but Mr. Witson had already cut it off."What's my schedule tomorrow?""You have
Aldrom & Arlana Mistake
"Do you remember I was the first for you, baby girl?"I tried to make sense of what was happening after hearing a stern whisper in my ear. I had never considered what it would feel like to wake up with someone's hands around my hips. I try to hold my breath as the deep, raspy voice brings to memory a particular name. A name I didn't wish to keep in mind."I miss you."I abruptly stood up and freed myself from his grasp. Why can I see his face here after whatever I did yesterday? I was at a place that I had only been a few hours in.I stood up and climbed out of the hotel room's king-size bed. took a step back when I saw him coming."How did you get here?" I inquired almost in a whisper. "Go away!" He snatched both of my hands as I screamed. I made a vain attempt to shake him off. I lacked the strength to resist him because of his enormous size.Observing how I constantly attempting to escape. Passion flashed in his eyes. I have seen that before, yes. The five-year-old incident gave m
Aldrom & Arlana Down
I hugged my body tightly, occasionally rubbing my skin rough. It doesn't matter that I'm shivering so much right now, the sound of the shower no longer matters. I felt like dying considering my life had no meaning anymore. My world was shattered again in one day, after years of setting my heart to let go of that mistake. The man I never expected came back to ruin everything. I really hated him. Why was I destined to meet him? Why did life seem unfair to me. Five years is not a short time to make peace with the past. And now he's taking away that temporary peace at will. Really, I don't want to let his seed in my body. I'd rather die. I'm already worthless anyway. There's no point in staying. Yes. I should have drowned my body in the bath up. But that murderous gaze stared back at me. I don't know when he was there. I didn't care. I just wanted him to leave. Sure enough. My wish was granted right then and there. Axe left without saying a single word. But my relief didn't last long. B
Aldrom & Arlana Italya
Italya The half-hour ride in his private jet felt like almost a year. Is that what it's like to be around someone you hate? Time seems to spin longer. Moreover, your every move becomes an exciting spectacle for him. Ah. Who else if not the Axe I'm referring to. Even now, he doesn't let go of my hand even though we're already in the car. But even so, I know that Axe is currently sleeping. The little snore from him proves it all. "Your face is very familiar. Do I recognize you?" That was my question to Axe's right-hand who was currently focused on driving. When I met him for the first time, I felt I knew him very well. His tall slim stature, I guess his posture is almost like Axe. It's just that Axe is a little taller than him. I immediately thought of someone. Perhaps, is it? "Yes, Miss. I am Edward." Boom! The name in my brain was one hundred percent accurate. I had expected it. But how could Edward be Axe's right-hand man? Didn't I know he was the little servant at uncle Danial's
