Trapped in Brother Love
TCS 19

“Kak, please don't do this. This is not true, Brother.”

"Stop calling me, 'Sister' I'm not your brother!" snapped Mike.

"Please stop" said Alice.

Alice pleads. Her tears flowed so hard that she wet the pillow. Truly, for whatever sake Alice did not want to relate to someone who incidentally was her own sister.

Although Alice does love Mike, the girl tries to bury her feelings deeply after knowing the status between them. Moreover, Mike's hatred for him and Esme makes things even more complicated. Alice doesn't want everything to get messed up.

“Why? Didn't you like the touch of a man all this time?” Mike's face is no less fucked up. Unknowingly a drop of clear liquid also fell from the eyes of the man, right on Alice's cheek.

Mike brought the face closer. Her lips half opened to Alice's lips. In less than two inches, the two will meet.

“Argh! Goddamnit!”

Mike got up violently and got out of bed. Both hands covered his face before his body fell to the floor. The defense is collapsing. All my life, Mike has never felt this sad.

“This is all you and Esme cause! Why do you have to be present in my family's life? Because of you guys, my mom was depressed to suicide.” Mike started to mess up. His voice was soft, but very heartbreaking. The man neither shouted nor cursed, but somehow the effect caused a painful feeling that was difficult to explain in words.

“If ..., had you not come, my mother would still be alive. I don't need to feel alone in this world. If you really want to live with my father, just go with him. But you shouldn't have to show up in my mother's life.” Mike spoke in a stammer. “Your satisfaction has made my mother no longer exist in this world? You must feel like you're winning right now? If you knew how much I hate you guys. Two humans do not know themselves whose presence is nothing more than a parasite.”

Same with Mike, Alice felt the same pain. If she knew the end would be like this, Alice would have never met and knew what her father was like. Let him just live with Esme. All this time their lives were not too bad either.

Alice clasped her trembling hand tightly. Dare to get out of bed.

“Mike.”

“Do not approach! You and your mom are the same. ******!”

Mike yelled loudly to make Alice aghast. His one hand that was barely holding Mike's shoulder was immediately pulled back.

Without a word, Mike staggered out of the room. The effect of alcohol drunk is still very pronounced to make his head dizzy instead of playing.

After a few steps, Mike could hear the door behind him closed. However, Mike is reluctant to think about how Alice is after what she did.

Mike did not know if the whole night was spent by Alice crying until tired and finally fast asleep.

The next day, Mike woke up with his head still heavy. However, it does not make Mike then forget about his responsibilities at the hotel. He immediately took a shower and prepared to put on his work suit.

Mike hasn't met Alice since waking up. Also deliberately set off early in the morning and skipped breakfast together to avoid a pair of mothers and children who had destroyed their families.

While in the car, Mike thought of ways to make Alice's life more miserable. She considered appointing Alice to be a personal assistant. That way, they will certainly meet more often and Mike can freely vent his hatred.

Mike calls one of his staff, asking the loose clerk to come into the room including Alice. He wants to make an important announcement. Yes, especially if it is not a promotion for the child ***** that.

Waiting for a few minutes, all the off-duty staff had gathered in the room. Not much, but for Mike it was enough. Wherever gossip is called, it will always spread quickly.

Mike glanced at Alice who kept his head down. Her face was a little pale though Mike was sure the girl was wearing thicker-than-usual makeup.

“I want to make an important announcement. Starting today, Alice is officially my personal assistant,”. His tone was ordinary as if the notification just now wasn't as important as the one being talked about.

No one dared to protest even though there were some of them already working longer hours. The staff who came just nodded and did not forget to congratulate.

Alice herself was surprised by Mike's decision, but also pleased. The girl was too naive to have any bad thoughts. He thought the decision was purely because Mike needed a personal assistant. I don't know if the days ahead are going to get worse. After all, according to Alice should not be family matters related to work.

“That's all I want to say. You've been allowed back to work,” Mike said ending their meeting that morning.

One by one the staff present also came out of the room until now only leaving Alice and Mike alone. Alice also wanted to get out, but was arrested by Mike. The man quibbled that from today on Alice should always be in a radius close to him.

When looking at the face of the girl in front of him, inevitably Mike re-imagined the events of last night. How Alice's fear made her feel happy and sick at the same time. Happy to make Alice suffer, but it hurts to remember what happened to her mother.

Without Mike noticing, Alice's pale face also became opium to him. Evidently now Mike was so eager to see that look again.

Mike walked over to the door and closed it. Make sure no one knows what he's going to do.

Alice walked backwards as Mike turned around and showed a grin on his face.

“What do you want?”

Knowing Mike's darkened countenance, Alice felt scared too. His mind began to imagine the events of last night and only realized why Mike suddenly raised his position.

Mike started stroking Alice's hair coming out of the pigtails. While one of his hands was fixed on Alice's butt and squeezed it tight.

“Do not, Mike.” Alice tried to push Mike's shoulder with all the energy she had. However, do not be pushed to move a inch not.

“Don't be hypocritical in front of me. Aren't you the same as your mom?”

Alice grew increasingly fearful under Mike's sharp gaze. The man seemed to know no pity and made Alice's fear as entertainment.

Mike's hand that had been stroking Alice's hair was getting down. However, before he could touch the mound on the chest of the girl Mike turned his face and walked backwards.

“Comeout.”

Without being told twice, Alice immediately walked out of Mike's room and half ran towards the toilet. Wiped out a cry that had been stuck there.
