ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Him Again
Chapter 14“Hurry up, Annie. The cab is waiting for us!” Liz yelled out to her daughter as she raised her hand to hail a cab. It was almost 7pm in the evening and she was going to be late for her job at the club if Annie didn't haul her ass out of the house on time.Liz groaned loudly as she apologized to the cab driver, begging him to wait a little bit and rushed to the entrance of her apartment. “What were you doing and what's with the bag?” she demanded as Annie finally got out of the house, grabbing a huge bag along with her.The child giggled slightly, “May and I are hosting a late night party, mum. These are just some of the decorations we'd be needing for our party.” She flashed her mother a quick smile and shoved the bag into the backseat first before entering the cab.“Alright, then,”Liz said in resignation as she climbed into the backseat with her. “Let's get you to your party.” she signalled to the driver, telling him her destination and leaned into the seat as he drove off

The twin bond, as Cameron and Calista had always called it, was something they felt and no one except twins could ever understand or relate to. It had always been like that right from when they were kids and it ventured into adulthood with them.Their parents had gotten a glimpse of the amazing bond when Calista had been kidnapped while they were growing up. Cameron had actively shared in her pain back then and even now, he knew the ache in his heart was the same one in his sister's.It had been a hassle getting Calista back to her house after the day she had had but he had succeeded in the end. She was finally sleeping peacefully and he was headed home.Emily had not exactly been thrilled to hear he had left her alone but he had assured her that Calista was going to be alright. They both knew how stubborn she could be, staying with her till morning would only make her feisty when she wakes up.“I know you guys care about me but I am not a child. I can take care of myself, you don't h

Chad let out a groan as he lifted his hand to shield his eyes from the blinding light of the rising sun. With how high the windows in his little studio/apartment were, he never would have imagined waking up to light streaming down the windows. “Damn you, Shawn.” he cursed under his breath as he stirred himself into a seated position. Shawn—his nosy neighbor—had always complained about how dark and gloomy Chad's studio looked. But the artist had not expected the nerd to go as far as opening the windows.How did he even get up there? Chad thought to himself as he leaned forward, grabbing the unopened pack of cigarettes from his tiny desk. Yes, he was trying to quit smoking but smoking didn't look like it wanted him to quit it. It was just the same with painting, he just couldn't get around to quitting.A month after he had gotten his first gig, Chad had thrown away all his brushes and decided to never paint again. His agent had been furious but Chad had been determined to not go back t

Somewhere on the other side of town, Calista woke up to rays of light peeking from the curtains in her room and splashing on her face. Groaning lightly, she pried her eyes open and was greeted with the most earth shattering headache to ever exist.It didn't take long for the events of the previous day to come reeling back to her. Crying, they say, is therapeutic but not when the person had spent a good half of the day, bawling their eyes out. Calista felt like death and she was sure she looked like it.Blinking rapidly to clear her vision, she propped herself up on the bed placing a pillow at her back and reached for her. phone.Her hand swept over the pack of aspirin—Cameron had left on the table—and she picked it up, managing a small smile at her brother's thoughtfulness.Next to the tablet, was a glass of water and not too far from the glass, was her phone. Sighing deeply, Calista popped a pill into her mouth and drank some water. Her throat felt incredibly sore as she swallowed the

***FLASHBACK***“It seems like things aren't really going well for you, mister.” the bartender commented with his attention on Cameron. Is it really that obvious, Cameron thought to himself as he threw the remnants of the drink into his mouth. The liquid burned his throat but he closed his eyes and swallowed. Drinking had never really been his forte but for some reason, alcohol had always helped him get through his hard times. And tonight, it was working it's magic once more. “You can tell?” Cameron inquired, slurring heavily. The bartender nodded with a loop sided smile on his face.“Anyone would be able to figure it out, sir,” the bartender replied, “You look too sophisticated to be a drunkard and you're definitely not a regular here.” he added with a wink directed at Cameron. It was his first time seeing the likes of Cameron in a such a place. Cameron pondered on the man's words as he pushed his glass forward, demanding a refill. The bartender frowned slightly but he obeyed regar

Why would I want to cause myself pain on purpose? Cameron scoffed lightly as his grandfather led him down a path he was very familiar with. His parents love story was one they had heard more times than they could remember—It was a tale as old as time itself.“Your father had been married to a model who cared about just herself and her fame,“ Richard recapped, causing Cameron to roll his eyes in exasperation. “But your mother had been the exact opposite of her, now look where that had led them. Don't you think you should try again?”It wasn't hard for Cameron to see the picture his grandpa was trying to paint about love. As far as he knew, His father, a married billionaire, had fallen in love with his step brother's ex wife. Thereafter, he had left his cheating wife and had reunited with his love after she moved back to the city she had fled from.Obstacles had risen up along the way but afer everything had been finally resolved, they had gotten married and a child had been added to th

Mysterious was the first thought that came to Chad's mind as the line went off. He couldn't believe she had reached out only to hang up without getting any tangible word out. How mysterious could a woman be?Chad wasn't a fan of mystery, in all honesty, he detested it. Whatever didn't come simply to him, shouldn't even come at all. But Calista Axford had brought mystery along with herself and for the first time in a very very long time, Chad was happy to indulge.Without second guessing his decision, he tapped on the number and turned on the speakerphone. The line rang over and over till he was directed to voicemail—no response. Had he imagined the entire thing? Had she not called at all?No! Chad quickly chided himself, shaking his head as if he wanted to clear invincible cobwebs out of the way. His phone had rang and the gallery lady's voice had come out of it. She had called him of her own accord and even though Chad had been unsuccessful in reaching her again, he felt satisfied.S

Why did I call him? Shouldn't there be another way to get Hell's Demon? Why do I have to go back to the first man to ever rattle me in over two years?! I don't want to do this… but I have to. Now, he says he's on his way here. Why?! Can't he just give me the invite tomorrow?The sound of the phone ringing, jolted Calista out of the conversation she had been having in her head. It had been more complaining than conversing but she couldn't get her heaving chest to calm down. Everything felt wrong but then, what other option did she have?Shoving the biker as far off in her head as she could, Calista reached for her phone and smiled slightly when she saw her twin's name on the screen. “Hi,Cam!” she greeted a little too enthusiastically and she was sure he would notice.“Hey, hot stuff,” Cameron's voice boomed out of the speaker, making Calista feel he had not noticed like she had thought. “Whats going on with you? Are you still in bed? Well, if you are, then that's great. You need rest.”

ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Epilogue
EPILOGUECameron felt nostalgic, sitting down in the same seat he had been sitting—six months ago—when he met the woman of his dreams. She had walked on the stage with a grace only a swan could possess and she had captivated his attention and stolen his heart not long after. But compared to Cameron's first visit to the bar, he noticed how empty the bar was. It was heavily decorated—surprisingly—but also unoccupied. Cameron's eyes swept over the room, taking in every decoration that seemed to have been done with precision. Balloons, ribbons, candles, everything felt strangely comforting.He was still sweeping over the area with his eyes when the lights suddenly went out, leaving him in the dark. "Hey, is anyone here?!" He called out into the darkness, hoping someone would hear and come to his aid. It was odd that he heard no noise at all but what felt even more odd to him was the fact that he had agreed to go over to the bar in the first place.Calista had caller earlier and said some
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A better approach
"Don't you think it would be better to just ask her stuff about them? We know them individually but Liza knows them personally." Emily said to her knucklehead sister, knowing she had just found a solution to their six hour long problem but another one was secretly embedded in Calista seeing her suggestion as a good approach to things or if she wouldn't. Luckily for both of them, Calista bought the idea. "Why didn't I think of that sooner?" She asked no one in particular as she flashed a huge smile at her little sister, wondering how their parents had given birth to such a brilliant child. It wasn't like Calista and her twin brother, Cameron, were a disaster, it was just that, Emily was, well, better.But smart or not, Calista was in the middle of planning for the best proposal ever and she wanted everything to be perfect. Cameron had—unsurprisingly—entrusted her with the task of making sure everything went well with his proposal to Liza and Emily had just given Calista a stepping sto
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Reconciliation
Turns out reconciliation wasn't as hard as Chad had assumed it to be. It was just surprising how easily his family had accepted him back, as if he had not walked out on them over ten years ago. How could they be so loving after everything he had put them through? Chad couldn't wrap his head around the whole situation at all. But that wasn't all he was battling in as he stood at the balcony of his new apartment, looking down at the street just opposite his place. From where he was, Chad could see different people moving around in pairs and some, even in groups.Anyone could clearly see how different they all were, occupied in their little worlds, without any knowledge of what was to come next for any of them. But still, they kept moving, defying the odds over and over again and just basically living life the way they pleased. It was scary but very admirable. The strangers reminded him so much of Calista, the artist that had woven her way into his heart as unexpectedly as the rain wou
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A daughter she had lost
"I don't think we should be doing this every morning, Annie. I will be late for work and Calista wouldn't like you coming in late either. Do you want to upset your coach? I thought you adored her, it seems like I was wrong." Liza knew the best way to get her eight year old out of the house was by emotional blackmailing and at the moment, it was working perfectly.In no time, Annie raced down the stairs, carrying her carrier along with her. Liza found herself staring at her daughter and thinking about how things had changed so much in just two months. It felt surreal but then, change had always been a scary thing for her, this time wasn't an exception. "Are you ready, mum?" Annie asked with an accusing glare fixed on her face. Liza felt she was ready but according to Annie's standards of being ready, she was far from it. Her hair wasn't yet in its usual ponytail and Liza's bag was somewhere in the apartment, instead of her arm. But how could she get her bag as quickly as Annie wanted?
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Where you belong
Waking up didn't seem as tiresome as it used to be anymore for Chad, infact, the start of a new day excited him–especially this day. It was the day he was finally going back home but that wasn't what was exciting to him. Just the thought of introducing a woman like Calista Axford to his family was thrilling. There was a chance that his enthusiasm would be shared but Chad was past caring. Calista was his and that was all that mattered to him. His father had always been a critically judgemental man and if anyone could thaw his ice cold heart, Chad was sure Calista was the perfect candidate for the job. Wasn't he proof enough of her skills?Chad couldn't believe he had walked into a random gallery and had met tye woman or his dreams. It was even more dreamy because he had never envisioned the kind of life he was now getting accustomed to. In his case, seeing really was believing. Calista's love was something he had to experience to believe it could happen to him. Standing up with a sm
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Sister bond
“Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you to the hospital? It does'nt seem like thats the only place you'd be visiting today, though.” Emily spoke under her breath, watching her sister turn the wardrobe in and out, looking for an outfit to wear to her doctor's appointment. No, it wasn't weird at all that Calista suddenly wanted to put an effort into her choice of clothing. Weird was not the word, surprising was. Emily felt something was going on with her sister but she wanted Calista to spill the beans herself. It didn't make waiting for the reveal an easy task.Calista could barely see her sister's suspicious stare, her head had been in the wardrobe for what seemed like an eternity. Pulling herself out for a second, she shot Emily a blank stare, “What do you mean by that?” her question was as confused as the look she had plastered on her face.“I am not a child, Cali,” Emily retorted, moving towards the wardrobe. “I know something is up with you, something sweet and most like
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER Clinging to you
Driving to Liza's place, Cameron found himself entertaining the same thoughts as Chad. Forever didn't look bad at all but how was he going to get there? How was he going to show this defensive single mother that he was ready to lend her a helping hand for a long time?Cameron was brainstorming when his phone started ringing, snatching his attention back to the present. He quickly turned off the radio—that no one was actually listening to—and picked up the call. Stephanie's voice echoed in the car, claiming even Annie's attention.“Good day, Sir,” she greeted politely, “I wanted to let you know that the contract has been drawn out for the deal but it requires your signature, sir.” there was urgency in her voice, it made Cameron feel uneasy. Usually, deals of this magnitude didn't require much stress.“Didn't we already do that in the meeting?” he inquired flatly, flashing Annie a quick smile. For some unknown reason, he felt she could sense his unease. “Alright then,” he said in resign
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER A pleasant surprise
Chad's first thought was to kill Jason for going behind his back and selling off the painting but when he had been told who the purchaser was, he had wanted to kill himself instead. There was no other way around it, he just had to get to Calista first.As Chad rode his bike to the gallery, he realized he had no idea what to say to her. His initial plan had been to show her the portrait at the exhibition and then have her take it home as a present. But that would have been after Chad had revealed his identity as her anonymous artist.It was a simple plan, it should have worked. Only that it didn't work at all. Infact, it had gone terribly wrong. They had been too occupied—kissing in the balcony—and Calista had ended up leaving without seeing the portrait. Then, the potrait had ended up in Cameron's possession.I will just have to let her know that I am Hell's Demon and apologize for not telling her sooner, Chad concluded in his head as he pulled into the street that led to the gallery.
ONE NIGHT WITH MY HUSBAND’S BROTHER The jerk biker
Motherhood, they say, always came with some exciting changes but to Liza, they were more terrifying than fun. She couldn't deny the fact that she used to enjoy it but with Annie growing older with each passing day, Liza found herself questioning her sanity, along with a good number of things.“Mum, you know the bus leaves in ten minutes, right?!” Annie called out to her mum as she hurriedly packed up her paintings. They never went early to anything at all and even though Liza detested tardiness, she had unconsciously become an ambassador of it.Breathlessly, Liza rushed into the living room, hauling her purse along with Annie's art equipments. That was the name for Annie's art supplies because she felt 'supplies' was a mundane word. The eight year old had put up quite a lengthy explanation —afterwards—and Liza had been forced to go along with it.Ignoring her very sweaty mother, Annie quickly grabbed the materials from Liza and started stuffing them into her carrier. The school had od
