Writer's POVAshley Wilkie sat at the table with her closest friends; Brenna, Nicole and Juliana feeling anxious and unsure of what to do. She had been dating the Xavier's brother for a few weeks now, and things had been going great. But as she had gotten to know Xavier better, she realized that she had feelings for him too. She knew that she had to tell him the truth, but she didn't know how to do it without hurting him or ruining their friendship."I just don't know how to tell him," she said, fidgeting with her napkin. "He's going to be so hurt."Her friends exchanged sympathetic glances and nodded in agreement. "It's a tough situation," one of them said. "But you can't keep this from him forever. It's better to tell him now before things get more complicated.""I know," Ashley replied, sighing. "But how do I even start the conversation? What should I say?" She contemplated."Well, you could start by telling him that you need to talk to him about some thing important," Nicole sugg
Writer's POVThe coffee shop was bustling with the usual morning crowd, the scent of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. Ashley Wilkie sat at a small table by the window, a steaming mug of latte in front of her, waiting for Xender to arrive. They had arranged to meet before work to discuss letting Xavier know about their relationship. Ashkey looked at her watch and checked her phone, still no message from Xender.Just as she was about to text him, the sound of shattering glass filled the air. Ashley looked up to see a man sprinting past the coffee shop, followed by a group of people in hot pursuit. She watched as they disappeared around the corner and the noise of their shouting voices faded away. The other patrons of the coffee shop were murmuring nervously to each other, unsure of what had just happened.Ashley stood up, her heart racing in fear. She knew that Xender some times took this route to get to the coffee shop and was worried that he might have been caught up in the comm
Writer's POVAshley meant it when she said she really do want to talk to Xavier about this. Not like Xender was surprised about it, he expected it more than he ought to. He was ready to face his brother, besides, they've been into different odds and yet, they get back together.As the two brothers sat in front of her, Ashley took a deep breath and began to speak."I don't know how to say this without sounding like a complete mess, but I have to tell you guys how I feel. I know it's complicated, and it might be a shock to you, but I can't keep it in any longer. I have feelings for both of you."Xavier and Xender looked at her in surprise, unsure of what to say. Then she continued, her voice wavering slightly."I know it's not some thing that's easy to comprehend or accept, but I can't help how I feel. I care about both of you so much, and I can't choose between the two of you either. I have tried, believe me, but it just doesn't work. Every time I think I've made a decision, my heart p
Ashley's PovI barely got myself to sleep last night. The pain of losing a mate felt so heavy and deep like I've been casted a rock on my chest. I couldn't breathe due to the heavy tears which had soaked both my eyes and heart at the same time. I was beginning to doubt if I will ever get the chance to forgive Xavier for what he did. The way he treated Xender last night was some thing I couldn't even think of.If one is to see them, they'll be mistaken to be sworn enemies. I mean, they aren't just brothers, they are twins who share the same interests. And they are more like a family to themselves.Why would Xavier behave so stupid?Since Xender has refused me to go with him, which on the other hand I can't leave Xavier either, I doubt I'll ever talk to Xavier the way I used to. Since the two of them are my mates, I need them around me all the time. I need to feel the bond and connection, with this our love and relationship will be abundant and not being so selfish and greedy at the sa
Ashley's PovXavier still hasn't said any thing yet. Not like I cared, just wanted to be sure he has come to realize his mistakes, but it seems like he still hasn't.I had a few of my stuff packed in my black backpack, I didn't bother about wearing make-up, I was actually not in the mood. I left the house as soon as I learned he was busy in his office.I didn't even tell the maids where I was going to do no one would follow me. I decided to take a cab, using the car would only create a noise which I don't want. I don't Xavier playing the Alpha nonsense on me, I want to go ahead with my decision.There was only one place in my mind Xender can be, Mrs Theresa's home. I stopped a cab which took me to Mrs Theresa's home, I could sight Xender's car parked in her compound.I told the driver to stop. When he did, I quickly paid him his money, not minding if I had a change or not. I quickly left the car with my backpack, running to Mrs Theresa's home. I offered a knock on the door, I don't wa
Ashley's Pov"You have to calm down." She said again, placing her hand on his face. Xender grew calm, falling on his knee. I was shocked to say a word. I don't even know what to think of right now. Is this me watching? Or am I actually imagining Xender had turned wild or some thing?Vanessa looked at me. "I think he needs to get some rest." She said, leaving him to the table to continue her food.I was actually surprised at the way he responded to her touch. The way he became calm at her words, but he was extremely high when I tried to calm him down.Is there any charm or spell she has in her? Cos right now, I feel like I am far from understanding what is actually going on. Could it be…?Okay, I'll let that slide.I knelt down before Xender, taking his hands into mine. "Hey,""I'm sorry." He apologized, his face buried to the ground."What happened to you?" I asked."I don't know." He said, embarrassed to look at me."Let's take you to the room." I said, standing up to my feet. He di
Writer's POVShe stood there, arms crossed, her expression a mixture of frustration and concern as she faced him. "You need to get a grip on your anger," she said firmly.He frowned, looking away from her. "I know," he muttered. "I'm trying.""Trying isn't good enough," she retorted. "You can't keep losing control like this. You hurt people when you do.""I don't mean to," he said defensively. "It just… happens.""That's not an excuse," she replied sternly. "You're an adult, and you need to take responsibility for your actions. But… I understand that it's not easy. That's why I think you should talk to some one who can help you with this.``He looked back at her, his expression skeptical. "What, like a therapist?" He asked."Yes," she said firmly. "Or a counselor, or some one who specializes in anger management. You need to learn how to control your emotions, and I think some one like that can help you."He shook his head. "I don't know if I want to do that," he said, his voice low."
Ashley's PovWe prepared for our journey back home. I hugged Mrs Theresa for the third time now, she had droplets of tears on her eyes. She cupped my face, "We should be fighting the enemies and not ourselves. I understand the two brothers aren't on good terms, it's your duty to bring them back together." She said to me, and I felt an exciting feeling in me.After all, I wasn't alone."We'll see some other time." I turned to look at Diego, he was having a quiet conversation with Vanessa. I wasn't being jealous at the way they talked to each other, but by seeing the way she looked at his lips while he talked…I'm not jealous."Who are you fooling?" A voice said in my head.Okay. Fine. Fine. I am jealous right now, but I promise myself not to talk about it, or keep a face like I am actually bothered seeing them talk to each other.I went to the car. I checked on my phone, nine missed calls from Xavier this morning and fifteen missed calls from last night. My phone has been on silent si
