Desperate Pleads

I felt a frown crease between my brows as I began struggling to understand my own feelings and what it was that I wanted.

Do I want him to keep me away from Bradon? Is that it?

Does Anthony even know that his brother had taken his place at his wedding?

At first, I wanted to get Anthony to help me get out of my house-arrest but now that I could come out of the mansion, I wasn’t sure what it was that I wanted. My conflicted feelings and hesitation led to an awkward silence that seemed to stretch for far too long.

“Things have been quite complicated for me. As you probably know, I took my sister’s place at her wedding and…your brother took your place,” I said as I felt my throat suddenly turn dry.

“I see. You’re living with Bradon right now, aren’t you?” he asked casually.

“Yes, I am…” I replied truthfully.

“How is it? Living with my brother…” he asked.
