All Chapters of BROTHER'S HOT BEST FRIEND IS MY MATE: Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

Alex's Point of ViewI looked at the message over and over again. I could not get those words out of my head. I kept hearing them. It was a message from my dad. He used code to make sure I stayed on track and to tell me that I needed to get revenge quickly. The walls of his jail cell couldn't stop him; his power still reached far beyond that cell. What was wrong was that the message had been delivered in a way that could be too dangerous if anyone else saw it. If anyone in Scarlet's house to get their hands on it. Everything would be messed up in just one second.My mind was racing as I paced the floor in my office by myself. I made up excuse to Ryan that I will find about the attack, but I don’t know what to lie to him. I just couldn't let this go. My dad warned me. He told me to make things faster, to take revenge sooner. No matter what, the plan had to go through. But something inside me kept niggling at me even as I told myself this. Scarlet. The way things were going between us.

Scarlet's POVWhen I woke up, I had a terrible headache and my arms and legs hurt from being in one place for what seemed like hours. The smell of mold filled the air, and in the distance, you could just barely make out the sound of water dripping. I had my hands behind my back, and the rough rope hurt my skin. As I tried to figure out what was going on around me while blinking quickly, I realized I was in an empty building.I felt scared and my breathing got shallow as I looked around. The faces of the three guys in the room were hidden by masks. I didn't know who they were or why I was here."Who are you? What do you need from me?" Even though I tried to sound strong, my voice was shaking."Shut up if you want to stay alive," one of them growled in a cold and dangerous voice.My throat was dry, so I swallowed hard. As one of them took out a phone and called a number, they didn't bother to look at me again. It hurt when my heart hit my chest. It couldn't be good that they were callin

ALEX’S POVThe guilt was suffocating.I couldnt stop thinking about what happened to scarlet. What has they done to her? I had never imaged they would go so far. When I received the call that she had been found at the river, unconscious and near death, it sent a chill through me. I had never considered that she would be hurt like this, they would go to such lengths to break her.I hate myself even more. WHY DIDN’T I ACT SOONER?I leaned back in my chair, my hands tightening around the armrests as my mind spiraled. The image of her– drenched, abused, helpless,-- was burned into my memory. I never thought i would care like this for her. I have convinced myself i didnt need to protect her, thst she wasn’t my first priority. Revenge was my first priority; my father was more important than her. I had told myself that all she was to me was a pawn in this revenge game, a tool to serve my revenge, But now… Now i realized that i had been lying to myself, or should say fooling my own feelings.
