The bitterness of betrayal was something that is considered to be the most bitter experience in this world… And Alex was currently experiencing it!He was covering the long drive back home, and he couldn't help but think about the version of him that had been covering this same path in the opposite direction, less than twenty four hours ago. On top of that, he had been all happy, enthusiastic and overly excited after hearing the news of the arrival of a new member of their family, in this world.And compared to where he was now: ready to jump in the river of disappointment without any second thought! He had still not been able to believe it, even after reading the form, and he kept going back to the moment when he had been handed the clipboard by the intern.Thankfully, he had had the presence of mind to remove the form and fold it, to keep it safely in his pocket.He was not only feeling the betrayal on behalf of the role of the future uncle he was going to be, but he was feeling

Moira had barely just managed to slide the cocktail glass back in its original place, when a person showed up in front of her, like a genie who had popped up, seemingly out of nowhere.Anybody else would have taken a while to figure out who this person was, who had suddenly appeared in front of Moira… but not Mark. Only half of this person's left profile was visible in the video, and with the club's dark ambience and flashing lighting that moved through a spectrum of purple, red, green, yellow and blue within seconds, it was difficult to discern his features clearly.But even if that specific one fourth of this man's face had not been visible in the video, this was someone Mark could have recognized just by his shadow.Because it was none other than his brother, Matteo Rover. The slant of his wide shoulders was clearly visible under the tan colored linen blazer, and his walk was just the same as he remembered, so was the familiar gesture of him approaching someone with his head held

"Hello, brother!"The moment he received the call, a sharp, shrill, enthusiastic and sweet voice echoed from the other side of the phone.The voice which had the sole power to make Alex forget all his problems for a minute.And he replied;"Yes, my dearest sister! How come you remember the fact that you still have a brother and he is still alive -"And the person interrupted him from finishing his sentence;"Oh, shut up! You are not going to die anytime soon! The Devil is still busy with his work.""What do you mean?" Alex asked, his eyebrows reaching his hairline! "I mean, he doesn't have any spare time to attend to the most wanted person of hell any time in the near future, so shut your mouth and listen to me carefully.""Okay! Okay, my lady! I am listening to you."Alex surrendered, simply because he was smart enough to realize that he did not stand a chance to win against his sister- he never had! "I have signed two movies and will be returning to Lancaster very soon-""You… are

Alex found Mark humming to himself in the kitchen, while hoarding the food in his plate.It was true that he must be starving as he had left the house early and now it was already late afternoon.He was able to observe the drastic weight loss he had gone through during this period, and how his handsome face had been left with the structure of a skeleton and an outer lining of flesh.But today… today, there was a light of happiness present on that face after so long.And in that moment, he realized that what he was about to do, required much more than just the determination and dedication of saving his friend.But before he could realize what that thing should be, Mark noticed his presence and spoke;"Alex! Are you really sure that you are alright, or has the happiness of becoming an uncle made you so high that you are already full?If this is the case then let me tell you, there is still too much time left and you have to wait for the little one-""Marcus!"A moment of weakness was al

Mark wanted to break everything that was coming in his way, and he wanted to burn everything down- everything that his eyes were seeing! In a single moment, his whole life had turned upside down.He had never imagined that this day would ever come in his life. And now, one single revelation had forced him to question his own life decisions, as well as Mariella's words! Was he the one who had set the board for a twisted game, or was it his wife who was playing on the lead?Fear, anger, disgust, panic… all these contradictory yet complementary emotions were surging inside his chest in tandem, making him nauseous.He wanted to throw up badly… or, at the very least, he wanted to just lie down on any nearest bed he found, and close his eyes… So that the moment he opened his eyes again, everything that had just happened, could be shrugged off as nothing more than a dream.But no matter how badly he wanted this to happen, he knew that none of these things were actually possible.So the be
