CHAPTER 64HOUSTON POVWhy he decided it was just a good idea for him to hurt his friend. "I just can't let this go! All that I want is answers! I want him to tell me why he decided to do this! The last time that I was in his office, I asked him if he had anything else that he wanted to tell me but he told me that there was nothing at all! He could have told me then but he decided to keep it away from me! Is he treating me as a fool ? Is that it?" I asked no one in particular. I was starting to think that Houston never really thought of me as a friend and that he was just messing with me from the beginning. He knew what he was doing. He just...he just wanted to play around with my feelings and emotions. If he knows that i have feelings for Fiona, why did he still get married to her? Why could he just not leave her alone? Why did he have to do something like this? "I really don't know what it is that you are trying to gain from going to talk with Aiden. I just want you to know that
HOUSTON POVI decided to just go wait for Aiden at his house since it was already near closing time. Deep down, I don't want to make a scene at his office. I know that the both of us are definitely going to get into a huge argument when I see him today. He can't just trample upon all of my dreams and expect me to still be calm about it.When I got to his house he still wasn't back from work. I guess that he and Fiona were probably still at the office. But the butler knows me and so he let me into the living room to wait for him. He offered me some snacks but I didn't want to eat anything. I don't want the anger that I am feeling inside to dissipate before Aiden and Fiona gets back. Just then, heard a car pull into the parking lot. I braced myself to meet with my so-called friend and talk with him. How dare he do this to me? It is one thing that he has taken away the one woman that I have loved since I was a teenager but how they try to take away being the leader of the mafia? .
HOUSTON POVAll that I want for you to do now is for you to go upstairs and do anything else. Don't stay here" I said to her. "But....""Fiona go upstairs now. I am going to come to you when the both of us are done here. I think that we need to have a good talk to stop there are some things that I want to clear up with Houston" Aiden said. Immediately Aiden said this, Fiona frowned. But she still listened to him and went upstairs. I frowned when I saw this. Why does Fiona listen to him so much? Fiona has never been someone who listens to the wishes of someone else. She always does whatever she wants whenever she wants. I need to find a way to break the both of them as soon as possible. The more I continue to let them stay married , the closer they will grow to each other and maybe I won't be able to stop them then. After Fiona was gone, I turned to face Aiden. I dropped all pretences of cordiality on my face immediately she gone. I frowned, letting him know that I am very
CHAPTER 67He knows how hard I have been working for this. how dare you tell me that we can compete healthily?!."How dare you tell me this Aiden? You know this is the only way for me to win the approval of Fiona's father!" I asked Aiden angrily. "You really need to calm down Houston. I don't really think that there's a need to big such a big deal out of this first of all, you and I are not the only one who wants that! Like, I told you, there's a way for the both of us to compete without letting it get in the way of your friendship. You are the one who just doesn't want to see that. I don't know what else you want me to say to you! We can do this! Why are you being so mean about this?" He asked me. I could see now that Aiden did not think that he has done anything wrong at all. He still thinks that he is right. "Seriously Aiden, did you just not hear what I told you?! I said that I need to become the mafia lord if I want to gain the approval of Fiona's father! I really need this! A
CHAPTER 68AIDENI was tired of having Houston show his feelings so clearly for Fiona in front of me so I pointed it out to him. I wasn't expecting his reaction at all though. He immediately became defensive. I didn't expect this too. He threw a punch at me. I am not a weakling or a pushover. I didn't even remember the last time that someone had hit me like this. Probably in high school. I immediately returned the punch. I was about to punch him again when someone ran out and held me back. I looked at Fiona and sighed. I should have known that won't leave. Clearly she had been listening to our conversation and she came out at the first sight of trouble. Trust her to get involved in this. "What are the both of you doing? This is why I didn't want to leave you alone! I know that you are just going to get into a fight! It's not like you are both still in high school! You are best friends! Can't you sit down and talk through your issues like two mature adults!" Fiona said. She looke
AUTHOR POV"I can't give it to you" Fiona's words sounded again and again in Houston's words. She had finally figured out the feelings that he had for her. Houston threw his head back and sighed. "Fiona I......you don't understand. I really like you. No, scratch that. I love you. I've always done!" Houston said. Aiden looked at Houston with a sneer on his face. He could not tell if Houston is doing this on purpose or if he is really this dumbCan't he tell that Fiona does not want to hear him confess his feelings to her personally? That is why she was going around in circles to reject him. Fiona shook her head. She had tried her best to avoid this conversation ever since it started going there but Houston still found a way to bring her back to it. She was so upset. "Look Houston, please just stop this. I don't ...you are my older brother. I have never thought of you like that in my life before and I don't think that I am ever going to do that. I just can't....I can't do that. You
AUTHOR POVAiden ran his eyes through Fiona's body. He did not tell her but he thinks that if he was in Houston's position, he would never have been able to think of Fiona as his sister too. A woman as beautiful as she is ...he is definitely bound to get tempted. "Well what are you going to do about it now? From what he had told us, it's clear enough that he just isn't going to give up on you. What are you going to do about it?" Aiden asked Fiona. Fiona glared at Aiden. "What do you think I am going to do? He's my older brother! Of course I am just going to ignore this! If he wants to be my brother than I think that at some point, we can sit and have a discussion about this. But if he doesn't want that then there's nothing that I can do. I don't love him. He will always be a brother to me!" Fiona said. Although what Houston had done today had really unsettled her, she did not want to throw away the relationship that she had with him. She still wanted to be his sister.Maybe if he
Fiona was stunned by Aiden's words and Aiden looked rather curious at her reaction. Truth be told she had not expected that Candice would do such a thing. She actually felt pity for Aiden but relieved that he was never in love with Candice."It's all over now." Aiden said with a small breathy laughter."I know, I'm just shocked. You two were really a big shot and an unbreakable couple." Fiona whispered, forcing a smile."I regret... Really." Aiden muttered, staring at Fiona with full interest. "I think I should tell dad about Houston." She mumbled, lowering her gaze. "You shouldn't worry much." Aiden smiled at her and she lifted her gaze to him."I'm sorry about Candice." She said,"It's nothing Fiona." Aiden sighed.Fiona gave a small nod. "She was really... Something. Stealing company's secrets is just... Inhumane. It's better to love than to just get attracted. Love unites both." She grumbled, pouting her lips."Fiona." Aiden called with a sigh, placing his hands on her shoulder.
