You betrayed my trust!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
“No…Aiden, please stop it!!” Kate roared, crying out for Aiden to stop hitting Alex but filled with red hot fury, Aiden didn’t.
Mike rather dart into the chaotic restaurant , cussed under his breath and rushed over to hold Aiden.
“Dude, C’mon not here. I beg you!” Mike pled, dragging Aiden away from restaurant.
“Let me go, Mike. I want to make him pay!!” Aiden shouted, beads of sweat filled the contours of his face.
He had lost it. He wanted to rain all the anger he felt on Alex. How could he betray their brotherhood?
How could he hurt a woman?
It’s so unbelievable. Alex was well aware of their role in the course of ending rape across the country . What was the essence of the yearly donation they make to help victims?
“He deserves to be locked behind bars!” Aiden roared, the breeze blowing out was hot on his skin. Whenever he tried to dart in again, Mike shoves him back.
“Please, dude don’t!!” Mike pled, heart bleeding seeing the twins at it again.
Truthfully, it was what Alex feared which kept him from saying the truth even when it was heavy on his chest. Even when it weighed him down, ate him whole. He had wanted to protect their bond.
But right this minute, everything is breaking apart. Everything is breaking apart even before Alex could save it. Even before Kate could unite them as one again.
Inside the restaurant, Alex stood up, a tornado of dizziness whipped at him. He stood up on his shaky legs, blood running down his nose.
He peered outside through the sturdy glass and saw Aiden raging. Howling. Thrashing.
And then he knew, the truth was out. But how?
Steps faltering, Alex barreled outside, mindless of Kate calling out to him.
Some shits about his past mistakes needed to be settled.
Hell, spotting him outside, Aiden dived at him, with conjured blows and punches he marred Alex’s features.
Cameras went off. Mutterings assailed the air. Curiosity hung in the air. People wanted to know what in hell was going on between the popular twins.
“How could you, Alex?”
A howl, a blow, a curse, all left Aiden’s mouth and fist. He tucked Alex to the ground, punching, suffocating, cursing.
“She trusted you! How could you!” He let out, breath roaring, heart jerking.
All mute, Alex’s eyes began to water. Abusing Cheska was a spur of the moment act. It was reflexive and forever it'll eat at him.
He had only wanted to show her he loved her. To show he cared as and can do what Aiden did.
He wanted to get as much love and attention from Cheska. But he messed up all because she scoffed. All because she blatantly rejected him. It made him feel like shit.
It made him so inferior, like he doesn’t amount to what Aiden does. It was all because of the fear of being left alone that nudged him to act.
That web of darkness didn’t allow him a rational thought and he…hurt her. He hurt Cheska.
Alex took the blows, if only it'll forever kill the guilt eating at him but it didn’t. It'll never kill it. It'll only damage his face and body but never put a concrete over his guilt.
“She broke our deal, yes! But it wasn’t enough to hurt her, Alex! You damaged Cheska!” Aiden cried out and head butted his brother.
“Aiden, please…stop!” Mike pled…heart heavy with guilt.

Kate found her footing again. She glared outside and saw what was going on.
Why in heavens name are they fighting? She thought with tears brimming her eyes, blearing her vision.
On shaky legs, she sauntered away from the restaurant, hoping to quell Aiden’s rage and save Alex.
This has to stop! She thought, moving even when her ribs protested her movements. When she fell, she hit her side against a chair. But the hurt didn’t amount the one in her heart seeing the twins fighting.
“What the hell is going on?” Mira blurted out, holding onto Lisa.
Lisa shrugged, “I have no idea.”
Turning to face Lisa, Mira blurted noticing that Lisa was somewhat shaking. “Baby are you okay?” She asked.
Clearing her throat, Lisa hummed. “Yes, I am.” She quickly averted her eyes.
She’s itching badly. Itching to get that phone lying on the floor a few feet from her.
That phone is a great weapon she'd use to break the girl that broke her. She itched to hold it. Wield it and ruin her.
And then…opportunity presented itself as Mira excused herself to use the restroom.
Skidding over, Lisa picked Kate’s phone. Navigated through her phone and figured Tiffany was Kate’s sister.
Great, she thought as she downloaded one of Kate’s sex videos and found Tiffany on WhatsApp.
On a whim, Lisa sent the videos to Tiffany, sealing it off with some texts.
*Your holy sister was never who you think she was. She’s a pornstar in Sin city.*
As Lisa tried to drop the phone back, Mira sauntered forward. Lisa’s face gave her away as Mira knew instantly Lisa had done something to damage Kate.
“Don’t tell me you did it.” Mira whispered, hoping Lisa didn’t do it.
It’s no new thing that most people in Brazzers or any other porn industry hides their identity from their families. Mira herself, included. So that’s the reason they take a stage name.
Lisa’s silence told Mira all she needed to know.
“How could you damage her?” She barked lowly.
“She damaged me!” Lisa ground out.
“No! She only fell in love but you chose not to accept it. She’s innocent, Lisa!”
Head shaking in utter disappointment, Mira took some steps back, hating the truth that glared at her.
Lisa lacked wisdom, empathy, ability to forgive, ability to love. Lisa can never be the woman she wanted.
“You Lisa, don’t deserve my love. I…I begged you to forgive her but you chose to harbor hatred over love. Over forgiveness, even when she never hurt you. Damaging Kate shows how truly evil you’re. It’s true, all they say about you at Brazzers was true. You’re evil. Maybe that’s the reason the sex gods chose her over you.”
Mira swiped at her eyes, hating how hurt she felt. She only wanted love but Lisa can never offer her that. “Have a nice life Lisa.” Clasping her clutches, Mira walked away.
Maybe out there she'll find a better person. Someone that has good personality. She can’t keep wasting her love on Lisa. She lacks the ability to love.
However, seeing Mira walk away left Lisa torn. Should she go after her or gloat over Kate’s ruined reputation?
Flustered, she stood. She stared. Emotions crashing down on her

As Mike pulled Aiden away from Alex, Kate went on her knees, holding Alex’s head up.
“Alex…Omigod, you’re bleeding so bad.” She fussed over him, tore a shred of her dress and held it against Alex’s bleeding nose.
With tears, she croaked. “Why are you doing this Aiden? He is your brother for chrissake!”
Alex struggled to erect to his feet and Kate helped him up.
“No matter what, you don’t go physical on him. You two are one! Why?”
Mike tried harder, holding Aiden off.
Alex stared, shoulders sagged. Aiden has every damn right to hit him.
“I’m going to call the police. You deserve to be locked!” Alden sputtered in fury. “Because of him she had had eight unsuccessful pregnancies!”
Kate’s eyes widened. Who is the ‘she?’ What did Alex do?
Slowly, it was making sense why Aiden was raging.
However, Alex’s eyes widened like saucers at Aiden’s revelation.
“What?” The words tumbled from his lips and Aiden scoffed.
“Oh you don’t know? When you were forcing yourself on her you should have thought twice before you did it!” A roar. A pause. Then. “You damaged Cheska’s womb. Three of her babies died. Five miscarriages. Cheska can never be like other women. Ever!”
Mike stalled. Kate paused. Alex dropped on his knees. Guilt held his heart like a vise.
“I’m sorry Aiden. I never meant to hurt her!” Alex croaked against his palms.
Aiden snorted. “Really? Never what you meant when you drugged me too? Why did you drug me that night in New Orleans, Alex? Wasn’t it to hurt her?”
A long moment of silence followed. What’s the essence of hoarding the truth? Alex thought. It’s already out. So it’s better he starts spilling it all.
“I only wanted to have some lone time with her. My self esteem took a different turn after she confessed her love for you. I thought you were better than me. I thought you had it all than I did. People wanted you more or so I thought. People loved to do things with you more than with me. And I was dying inside.” Alex sniffled.
Now, Aiden paused. He can’t believe what Alex was saying. He actually thought his brother had it all because Alex was always calm and collected.
“However, it became worse when I heard Cheska professing she loved you. Instead of us. It became worse when she offered you a chance to watch her completely naked. Cheska chose you over me and I thought I was never enough.”
“Days before her birthday, I planned to get her a gift. Show her I can love her too. I only wanted her to love me like she did you.”
No one spoke. No one moved.
“When we came to the bar in New Orleans on the night of her birthday. I bribed the owner of the bar to drug you and make you sleep with one of his workers. I wanted it to be a full-blown distraction so I can have Cheska to myself. It worked, the dude set you up with a girl that worked in his bar and I took off to meet Cheska.”
Kate stared hard at Alex, her breath almost seized hearing what Alex said.
No. No. This can’t be.
What Alex narrated about the set up is exactly what happened to her. Six years ago.
No. No. Could it be that Aiden….no it can’t be.
“Cheska didn’t accept me after everything. So, I did the rest in anger. I swear I didn’t mean to hurt her but something snapped in me. Something dark.” Alex bit out, head leveled down.
Story heavy, Aiden ran his hands in his hair.
“Who was the girl you set me up with? What was the name of the bar?” He asked Alex. Hating that another innocent girl was included in this plot.
Shaking his head, Alex muttered. “I never saw her. I don’t know her. I’ve forgotten the name of the bar too.”
Shame blanketed Alex. Confusion filled Kate’s mind. Bitterness clouded Aiden’s heart. Guilt weaved through Mike.
It’s time for truth, so Mike revealed. “I knew about the night six year ago, Aiden. It was a minor that Alex set you up with.” He swallowed.
That hammered strongly at Kate. She was a minor then.
“Alex made me not to talk because he feared your bond as brothers would break. I left for Ireland stashing the secret away. But…I’m sorry dude. I…blackmailed Alex months ago with the truth. I should have told you, man.”
Aiden was at a loss for words. Dejected, he turned to Mike, saying. “Even you, Mike. You betrayed my trust.”
At that, he stumbled away. Alex and Mike stilled.
Whereas Kate mind turned a whirlpool of thoughts. Could it be what she’s thinking?
