Candice POV
I was in the park, indulging in my walk with a smile not leaving my lips but then my eyes fell upon my manager from Amber One.
Shit, I gotta make a run for it but before I could run away his voice came and he saw me.
I clicked my tongue, not wanting to see him remembering my first meeting with Tyler where he got me fired!
I turned to him and smiled faintly, “Hello, Sir.”
“Ah Mrs Moretti. How are you?”
‘God, how his way of talking has changed.’
“Fine, you, Sir?” I asked, rather nervous.
“Great… I can’t believe Mr Moretti actually married you. I thought it was an infatuation.”
Knowing how talkative and straightforward he is, he spouts whatever comes to his lips.
I raised a brow but he continued to smile which made me uncomfortable and- Wait, a minute.
‘Infatuation?’
“What do you mean, Sir?” I asked.
“Oh, he must have told you about his love at first sight. I have seen him quite a few times, staring at you, haven't you?”
He teased and to say I am shocked would be an understatement. What. the. Hell? Now, I have firm faith Tyler liked me before our marriage..
But before our first meeting is slightly.. Distressing. How, when, why?
“Really?” I asked, hoping he will tell me more about it.
“You don’t know? He is the one who made me fire you so he gave you work at his library to make it convenient for him to see you…” My mind went blank.
“Oh my, what love he has for you.” He admired me while my eyes widened in stagger.
My heart picked its pace, not believing what my ears were hearing… was it all Tyler’s plan?
And All this time I thought I was betide to love him but.. It wasn't. Firing me from my job, giving me a new one, bribing Leon to leave me.
IT WAS ALL HIM!
I took a step back, my heart on the verge of bursting. I think now I understand a little about his zeal for me.
When he has been doing all this behind my back how can he let me leave him? But why? Why does he want me? Why did he start everything with hate?
God, What’s happening?
I put my hand over my heart, inhaling deeply. Who are you, Tyler? Shaking my head, I decided to call Tyler.
It’s better if we talked it out because I don’t think he can hide the fact he loves me anymore.
Maybe that’s why he is utterly devoted to me to the point of leaving his pride and everything behind just for my sake.
“Hey, Beautiful.” he answered the call, making me giggle instantly.
“Hey… When are you coming home?” I asked.
“On the usual time, why?” He asked back.
I sighed remembering why I called him, “We need to talk, Tyler.” I said and cut the call.
Laughing a little knowing he was going to think what he did this time that I said it.
I chuckled, thinking how much he will think now, like scanning all the crimes he did in his life such as putting my fucking Father in the ICU-
Which I am not complaining about; call me evil too but that’s the only life if Tyler took away, I won’t stop him.
Shaking my thoughts, I went home. I entered and saw a girl remarkably taller, almost equal to Tyler.
Beautiful as if she is a model with hazel eyes and long brown hairs reaching her back, wearing shorts and a tank top while using her phone.
Chewing a gum, she surely looked bewitching but what is she doing here?
She was using her phone, one hand on her waist while minding her own business.
Her grace was on another level, walking closer and contemplating her form, I called, “Hello?”
She looked up from her phone and grinned, her face lit up in glee upon seeing me as if I were her long lost bestie and hugged me tightly. I
stood stunned by her action.
“Aww! Sissy!” She beamed, pulling away, grinning brightly. Her eyes were literally glimmering,
I chuckled nervously and asked, “Who.. are you?”
“Hmm? Didn't Brother tell you about me? I am Kathrine! Come on! Look at me, you must have seen it in any picture.” She smiled, pointing at herself.
“Um.. no.” I replied awkwardly.
“What!? Oh, he better be prepared for doing this.” She scowled but then let out her anger in an exhale.
“I am Kathrine Moretti. Tyler’s younger sister. Even though there's a two years difference, he… leave it.”
“I am so happy to see you, Candice. I am so sorry if Brother hurt your sentiments in any way.” She smiled apologetically, rubbing her neck.
“No… it’s fine..” I replied and cleared my throat, giving her my official introduction.
“I am Candice, your sister-in-law.” I replied with a smile.
I never thought Tyler would have such an enthusiastic sister.
“I know! I can’t believe I finally met you. I apologize for not coming to your wedding and so late but here I am.” She grinned.
“Brother never stopped talking about you and now I finally met you. Do you know It was me who gave Brother the idea to be enemies with you first and then friends.” I blinked in incredulity.
“He didn’t hurt you, did he? Believe me, Candice, my brother loves you so much and he would never think of hurting you.”
‘One shock wasn’t enough that another came too?’ I thought and remained silent.
“Ah, look at me, I am speaking continuously. I quickly finished my work and came here as quickly I could when Brother told me about your pregnancy! Ahh! I am so excited!!”
She clapped, hugging me again.
“I am so happy for him.” She continued.
I couldn’t help but to giggle at her behavior as we sat. She is too childish for her age but she is the kind of person anyone would love instantly.
