I loved Jake just as my own brother, I was also ready to do anything for him.
Those days, I didn’t know why dad hated me that much. But later on, dad told me everything about my biological parents… He told me how they tried to kill me when I was in my mom’s womb. He told me how they chose their professions, their family’s pride over me. If it wasn’t for my mom, I mean the mom who brought me up with so much love, I would be ended up in some orphanage.
Since then, I started to hate all of them, except my mom, Liz.
I started to feel jealous about Jake for everything he has in his life that I also should have. I feel jealous for all the moments I have observed how much our dad loves Jake. I envy about times when he introduces Jake as his own son in front of everyone, while my dad totally neglects me.
Making the situation worst, Lilly died. After that, I became a totally different person… Jake didn’t know any of these, he thought I changed because of Lilly’s death. So he tried a lot to be with me and make up my mind, though I keep on avoiding and hurting him. “Don’t you remember any of those, Andrew?” Jake asked again since I was silent.
“You didn’t come here to make me remind those things, do you?” I asked, hiding the fact that I got emotional…
“I came here to ask you why you hate me. I promise I have nothing to with Lilly’s death. But if you hate me this much because of Sarah, please understand, I haven’t done anything wrong there too. I started to love her a few years back, she is also the same. We have started our relationship even before you first saw her. So tell me what I have done to make you angry?” he asked.
What can I say? He is right. They were in love when I first come to the university. Actually, it is me who came between them.
“Please, Andrew… I am begging you… I can give you anything I have, but not Sarah… I can forget about my happiness, but her happiness lies within me. She will never be able to be happy if I am not with her.” he said in a pleading voice.
I know that, Jake. I know her happiness is base on you. But she will learn to find her happiness in me after we get married.
“I know her more than you do, Andrew. She is not someone who changes her feelings. If you marry her, she will stay with you but as an emotionless corpse. I can’t see her like that, Andrew. I love her so much. She is my life. I can give you anything else I have. I will not even think twice to give you all the wealth I am going to inherit, but please don’t take Sarah away from me.”
“What do you think of me? Do you think I value money over her?” I yelled at him.
“No, I didn’t mean it like that. I know you love Sarah too… That’s why I am asking you this. Please don’t put her in a lifetime misery… I am begging you, Andrew… One day you told me, I would have to come to you on my knees, well I am coming to you on my knee now… Take anything you want from me, but give me my Sarah back…” he falls into his knees in front of me and pleaded.
I have never seen him this helpless. I know he loves her, but this much… Jake is someone who highly values his pride. I couldn’t even believe he went on his knees for his love… I started to feel guilty.
Therefore to hide that, I chased him out of my house… He begged me multiple times, but I didn’t listen…
However, after he left, my mind was filled with all the memories I had with him since I was young… I couldn’t get rid of the guilty feeling…
Then I got a call from one of my men that Jake has been shot. I couldn’t understand what to do. I was extremely nervous.
What if something happens to his life? I pretended like I was responsible for his accident, so everyone will suspect me for this as well… I don’t really know who is trying to kill him, but now it has become serious than I imagined… Sarah also came to meet me at that time. As I thought, she suspected me for shooting Jake.
I tried to tell her that I have nothing to do with that, but she was not ready to listen.
She, who strongly refused to have s*x with me until we get married, started to unbutton her blouse while shouting at me to take anything I want, and leave her beloved Jake alone.
No need to tell how much I would love to see her naked. How much I have imagined her like that in my dreams. But at that time, I didn’t feel any lust at all. I didn’t even want to look at her half-naked breasts. I was ashamed of myself. She was ready to do anything, sacrifice anything, even her dignity and freedom for her love…
Earlier, Jake was ready to sacrifice anything for Sarah, and now she is ready to sacrifice anything to protect Jake…
This selfless love of them reminds me of my sweet Lilly… I will sacrifice anything if I can get her back, won’t I?
I got super emotional at this moment, and that made me confess everything with Sarah…
I think that is the same reason why I am here in front of my biological father to save my half brother Jake…
***********
I would refer to my biological father as uncle Victor because that is what I familiar with.
Luke explained to uncle Victor that I am not responsible for any of the things that happened to Jake. The relieved look on uncle Victor’s face after hearing that was hard to miss…
However, after then, the most critical problem we had was to think of possible suspects.
“Maybe there is a connection with Lilly’s accident and Aunt Jeniffer’s accident to these incidents,” Luke said.
Uncle Victor fell into thoughts after hearing that.
“I tried to find information on those accidents, but I couldn’t find anything.” then he said.
“Andrew, why you thought Jake and uncle victor has something to do with Lilly’s accident?” then Luke asked.
“Well…” I said, trying to recall everything…
“I got a letter nearly a month before the accident, an anonymous letter. It said Jake and uncle Victor is going to make me cry shortly. Other than that, there was no information. I didn’t care about that much. But after a few days, I got another letter. A few photographs were also included. Jake was there in those photographs with another man. The letter said I should remember the guy with Jake.”
“Like two-three days after I got the letter, Lilly accidentally saw those photos on my reading table, and she asked who is that. I explained to her what has happened. Then she said she thinks this man has been near her house. We got concerned after that and tried to be careful, but I couldn’t protect her… “I said.
“So you thought, actually they are behind the accidents because of those letters?” Luke asked.
I started to think again with his words… Then I remembered something. Actually, it is strange how I didn’t think hard about this before.
“According to the situation I was in, I believed that but more than the letters it was dad who put that thought into my mind, He made me believe that,” I said…
Victor McMiller’s POV
I felt happy because Andrew came clean on everything. Otherwise, what should I do? How can I put one of my sons behind the bar to protect the other son? Or how can I bare it when one of my sons keeps on hurting the other?
I feel sad about Andrew, he lost his girlfriend and also Liz. He tried to blackmail me and get what he wants because he must be feeling lonely. Maybe it is Sarah who can help him get out of that loneliness. That’s why I agreed to let him have her, knowing that it would break Jake’s heart. At least, Jake has all of us by his side, Andrew has no one.
Though I agreed to give Andrew for adoption, it is not what I really wanted. When I started a relationship with Maya Andrew’s mom, I was so naive. I haven’t had an affair with a girl before that. I always focused on my studies and work. When I think about what happened back then, I think she actually seduced me. She was such a beautiful and straight forward young woman. Those days, many guys wanted to get close to her, but she didn’t pay any attention to them. She thought about them as a headache. However, when it comes to me, her attitude was totally different. Even when I didn’t pay much consideration towards her, she kept on coming after me… Finally, I fell in love with her…
I don’t still know whether she loved me too, or she just used me… My father was a successful and very famous businessman even back then. Also, he has power over most of the politicians too… She made me use my father’s contacts to establish her name in the film industry. Like a fool, I did whatever she asked. I was totally captivated by her.
When she said she is pregnant, I was kind of happy though I knew my dad is not going to allow this at all… I did not want to go for an abortion, but she insisted that she is not ready to be a mom. So, I let her do what she likes. However, God saved me from doing a terrible sin… Doctors said we are too late for an abortion. So, we had to keep the baby…
Since she got pregnant, her personality started to change. She became a totally different person, or maybe that is how she really was… She said she do not want the child. I was also bound by my family responsibilities. My dad was upset because Liz married Patterson, going against his wish, so I couldn’t make my dad bothered anymore. Also, how can I bring up a kid all alone?
Fortunately, Liz came to my help. I had no doubt she will be an amazing mother to my son. I don’t even know how it happened, but Andrew looked a lot like my sister. So no one suspected Andrew’s real parents are not them.
I supported Liz and Patterson as much as I could. Patterson didn’t have many qualifications, yet I gave him a high position in my businesses. I helped them financially a lot. I wanted both my son and my sister to stay happy and comfortable.
I knew Patterson didn’t love Andrew that much, but I didn’t want to intervene in their lives and create problems… I knew Liz loves Andrew with her life, so I was fine with that…
After some time, I married Jeniffer, who is an amazing woman. When compare with Maya, Jenny is a real goddess… She is humble despite her profession or her family background, and she is very supportive and caring…
Since I got married to her, I never cheated on Jenny, even from my thoughts… But I was always feeling guilty about what happened in the past, I thought it is better to keep everything a secret from her…
