Even after dinner ended, Lerisa was still sad, she knew her brother was tight that she hadn't moved on from Anthony.

Why does the heart find it difficult to love again?

Lerisa wondered.

She was still sad when she got back to her room. She couldn't believe that she was so annoyed just by seeing the man that she likes so much.

"Just because Anthony doesn't want me, that's not why I should be angry with him," Lerisa scolded herself in her room.

She went to take a refreshing shower. When she got back into her bedroom, she wore a cream-colored night dress and lay on her bed to sleep.

She slept on time, after thinking about her relationship with Remy. Lerisa finally made up her mind to tell Remy that she cannot date him since Anthony doesn't want her too.

She had told herself that she would explain her reason to Remy when she finally got to meet with him.

Meanwhile, Anthony arrived home and parked his car in his family house. He wasn't with his phone and knew that his mother would be worrie

    Mrs. Antonia looked stunned on seeing the beautiful young woman who walked out to their living room. She had almost forgotten this young, pretty woman was her first daughter."Lerisa!" Mrs. Antonia let out a gasp."Oh my goodness! Where are you going to dressed like a model? And the makeup too?" Mrs. Antonia continued to question Lerisa."Mom, I am going out with Martha to take her to her school. You don't expect me to look dull," Lerisa lied, but a blush curved her pretty face."Hmm.

However, James walked out to the living room and shouted, "My Goodness! Baby sister, where are you off to?"James had known Lerisa was not one for makeup, but, seeing her in a different look, she smiled and replied, "I am just going out.

Where's that done?" Anthony was questioning himself.As the day drew to a closing hour in Anthony's office, he rose from his office seat and went home.

Mr. Fred asked. "You went to Anthony's house and ended up sleeping on his bed.""Dad, I don't want Anthony and Remy to quarrel because of me. They're brothers and...""You should have been aware that they were brothers and not comfortably slept with Anthony unclothed on his bed. I don't want to discuss this matter again.

    Remy already noticed that Lerisa wasn't sounding like her usual self. However, he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with her. He donned a casual outfit, but he was still handsome and tall."Fine. If you say so, I will contact you tomorrow morning before going to work. Try to charge your phone, okay?" Remy said. As he looked at Lerisa's finger, where he had placed the engagement ring the previous day, he noticed that Lerisa had taken off the ring.He furrowed his brows and asked her, "Where's your engagement ring, Lerisa? Did you purposefully take it off? Where is it?"Remy suspected something fishy."I left it indoors," Lerisa tried to lie, but she wasn't good at lying as she spluttered."You left it indoors? Where? You know that you were not supposed to take this ring off. Fine, go inside and bring it, and you can wear it back. Right here in my presence," Remy insisted. He didn't know what was wrong with Lerisa. Just the previous night, he had called her, and she promised to call him b

Mrs. Antonia asked again, and Lerisa, feeling hungry, woke up.Lerisa pulled the door of her room open. Her mother and James gasped as they spotted her."Since when did you return?" Mrs. Antonia was the first to ask Lerisa, who looked sad, as did James."Not too long ago. Maybe after you and Dad left for church," Lerisa replied in a sad tone."What happened? Why do you sound sad?" Mrs. Antonia inquired. Lerisa shook her head and said, "Nothing, Mom. I am hungry."As Lerisa walked out of the corridor, Mrs. Antonia saw the red marks all over Lerisa's neck.

Remy loves me too," Lerisa cried, still sitting on Anthony's bed."You will tell Remy the truth, that you cannot go ahead and marry him," Anthony replied, as he wanted to touch Lerisa's arms again, not equally satisfied with the previous night's events with her. However, Lerisa pushed his hands away."No! It's easy for you to say, but I cannot do it. I cannot face Remy. I have to go home now."

    "How could you lie to me, Anthony? I have been in love with you all these years, and you lie to me that I am just like a sister to you." Lerisa was in tears, and Anthony's heart broke. He turned Lerisa to face him, but she pushed his hands off just as his hands touched her arms."Stay away from me! You cheated on me; you pretended not to be in love with me, breaking my heart further with all your lies. Yet you know the truth that we are destined to be together. Why are you denying that, Anthony? Do you feel scared that you would hurt me in the long run and feel another man deserves me?"Lerisa was in tears as she moved away from Anthony. Anthony stood speechless; he loved Lerisa, but he couldn't admit it to her. He had also felt she saw him as an older brother, and it was only recently when she confessed her feelings to him—that she had been in love with him and couldn't bear to see him with other women—that he knew he had wronged her dearly."I am sorry," Anthony said, but Lerisa move

She stared at her plate, which contained jollof rice and fried turkey legs for dinner. She eventually replied to him, "It's okay. I can manage it."Mrs. Beatrice smiled understandingly at Lerisa, not interfering; she soon blessed their meal, and they started eating.After dinner, Anthony's mother called his father, and Anthony spoke to his father for a while.Lerisa knew that she had switched off her phone to avoid her parents. She couldn't face them, so she waited for Anthony to show her to the guest room to rest.Anthony's mother was exhausted, admiring her son's house. She wanted
