Chapter 60: REDESIGN.

Brandon couldn't ignore the emptiness that settled in after Ethan's abrupt withdrawal. The once vibrant connection between them had faded, leaving a void he didn’t know how to fill. To distract himself, Brandon threw himself into a new project: redecorating the apartment he shared with his sister, Britney. This was a habit of his—to find something extracurricular whenever he was going through matters of the heart.The apartment was a modest two-bedroom located in a lively neighborhood, full of energy and color. The streets were lined with small shops, cafes, and bustling markets. Neighbors chatted on street corners, children played until dusk, and the scent of fresh coffee and baked goods mingled in the air. The apartment itself was on the third floor, with large windows that allowed the sunlight to pour in, highlighting every corner of the space.Each day after work, Brandon would head straight home, his mind set on transforming their living environment. The apartment had a comfortab

Chapter 61: A SIBLING'S STRENGTH.

The next morning, the soft light of dawn filtered through the vibrant new curtains in the apartment. Britney moved through the kitchen with ease, making herself a quick breakfast. She glanced at the clock; it was almost time to leave for school. Usually, by now, Brandon would be up, preparing his own breakfast or already dressed for work. But today, there was no sign of him.Britney felt a twinge of concern as she finished her meal. She decided to check on Brandon before leaving, as she always did. She approached his bedroom door, about to knock, when she heard it—a soft, muffled sound. Her heart sank. She knew that sound all too well. It was the sound of someone crying, someone in deep pain. She had seen Brandon this way before, shattered and hurt.The memory of his previous heartbreaks flashed through her mind. Brandon had always been sensitive, yearning for genuine love and connection. He had been through so much already, and it angered her that he was once again reduced to this sta

Chapter 62: CRACKS BENEATH THE SURFACE.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries filled Brandon and Britney's nose as they settled into a cozy corner of the café. Britney, having already eaten breakfast, opted for a light snack and juice, packing extra for later at school. She watched her brother's face, noticing the dark circles under his eyes and the slight downturn of his mouth. Determined to lift his spirits, she launched into a playful monologue."You know, Bran," Britney began, her eyes twinkling with mischief, "I think that barista might have a crush on you. She's been stealing glances this way since we walked in."Brandon looked up from his plate, confusion and amusement crossing his face. "What? No, she hasn't.""Oh, but she has," Britney insisted, wiggling her eyebrows. "Maybe I should go over there and put in a good word for you. 'Excuse me, miss, but have you met my devastatingly handsome, incredibly single brother?'"A chuckle escaped Brandon's lips, the first genuine laugh Britney had heard from hi

Chapter 63: SHATTERED HOPE.

The sleek Uber glided to a stop in front of Wings Corporation, its glass-and-steel facade stretching towards the sky like a modern-day fortress. Britney Daniel sat frozen in the backseat, her heart hammering against her ribs. The driver cleared his throat, jolting her back to reality."We're here, miss," he said, glancing at her in the rearview mirror.Britney nodded, fumbling with her phone to complete the payment. Her fingers trembled slightly as she reached for the door handle. The moment her feet hit the sidewalk, a wave of doubt washed over her. What was she doing here? This wasn't some small-time manager she was about to confront – this was Ethan Asher, CEO of Wings Corporation and the man who had shattered her brother's heart.But then Brandon's face flashed in her mind – his usual vibrant smile replaced by hollow eyes and a brittle laugh that didn't reach them. That image steeled her ambition. Taking a deep breath, Britney straightened her shoulders and marched towards the rev

Chapter 65: SHADOWS AND STRENGTH.

Mintues of crying Britney was exhausted. She recollected herself and slumped against the leather seat, her mind reeling from the confrontation with Ethan. The cityscape blurred past the window as they drove."He refused to help," she whispered to herself, the words tasting bitter on her tongue. "How could he just... give up on Brandon?"The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror. "You okay back there, miss?"Britney managed a weak smile. "I'm fine, thanks. Just... processing some stuff."As the car wove through traffic, Britney's thoughts drifted to Brandon. How could she face him now, knowing she'd failed to change Ethan's mind? She hated this pain her brother had to endure and wished she could take it away for him.By the time the Uber pulled up to Westwood University's gates, Britney had steeled herself for the rest of the day ahead. She thanked the driver and stepped out, immediately feeling the shift in atmosphere.Westwood University sprawled before her, wealth and privile

Chapter 66: WALLS CRASHING.

The setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and purple as Britney trudged along the cracked sidewalk. The day wasn't the best, invisible burdens threatened to crush her spirit. Her cheek still stung from Jasmine's slap.She knew Brandon wouldn't be home by now, which was a relief. She could use some hours to pull herself together and not be overwhelmed. She definitely didn't want him to see her in such a state so he wouldn't get worried, having a lot already to handle.As she approached her house, the familiar sight of home offered little comfort. Something was off, a discordant note in her normal routine.A figure stood by the door, silhouetted against the fading light. Britney's heart leaped into her throat as recognition dawned. Penelope.

Penelope and Britney, inseparable since childhood, sharing

Chapter 67: THE MYSTERIOUS GESTURE.

The modern office of Wings empire hummed with activity, but Ethan Asher's attention was fixed on a single monitor. Since promoting Brandon to his new position, Ethan's eyes had rarely left the cameras surrounding the floor where Brandon now worked. With Britney's recent visit, this surveillance had only intensified.Ethan watched Brandon like a hawk, noting every detail about the young man he pretended not to care about. His long fingers tapped an impatient rhythm on his mahogany desk as he observed Brandon's interactions with his colleagues. Occasionally, when someone got too close to Brandon—especially the women in his department—Ethan's fist would clench, his knuckles turning white with barely contained anger."It's none of your business," he muttered to himself, but the words rang hollow in the vast expanse of his office.Over the past few days, Brandon's condition had visibly deteriorated. The vibrant, enthusiastic young man Ethan had come to know—and, though he'd never admit it,

Chapter 68: THE RAFFLE DRAW.

Brandon stared at the tray on his desk, bewildered. For the fifth consecutive day, a gourmet breakfast awaited him: fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, crispy bacon, perfectly scrambled eggs, and a tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. A small note nestled beside the plate read, "Enjoy your breakfast.""Britney, have you been sending breakfast to my work place?" Brandon called her on the phone right away to ask. No one else loved him that much to care except her."What are you talking about?""Someone has been sending breakfast to my work place for the past consecutive five days. I forget to ask you each time and i give out the food. But today, I'm invested on finding out who's response.""Not me, darling. Seems you have a secret admirer."Brandon frowned, both intrigued and unsettled. He disconnected the call and began to question his colleagues, but no one claimed responsibility. The mystery was puzzling. Hungry and deciding to eat the meal this time, he savored each de

Chapter 69: A TRIP TO ROYALTY.

Brandon's car purred down the empty pre-dawn streets, its headlights cutting through the early morning mist. Inside, Brandon's hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes flicking between the road and his sister Britney, who was practically vibrating with excitement in the passenger seat."I still can't believe your school bought that story about you being sick and needing a week off," Brandon said, shaking his head in disbelief. "What if someone who knows you sees you in Greece and reports back?"Britney turned to him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Does it look like I care? I would give up everything in the world just to see Eliot Bassett, brother. Including you," she added with a playful smirk.Brandon feigned shock, clutching his chest dramatically. "You wound me, dear sister. And here I thought our bond was unbreakable."They both laughed, the sound filling the car and easing some of the tension Brandon hadn't realized he'd been carrying. He knew Britney was joking, bu
