Chapter 14 : Her Powerful Brother Maya's POV I would have laughed if I wasn't feeling down and a little bit drunk . " Wait , what ? " I asked . Larry didn't give instead he stared at Marvin intensely like he was trying to recall something " You... you are ... " Larry was stuttering , eyes widening . I was confused . My gaze darted between Marvin and Larry and then my gaze squinted while I stared at Marvin He had a smug smirk on , his hands going into his pocket . At that moment , I couldn't help but think that my younger brother was some important figure . He looked so much like one . The way they looked at each other , it told me they knew each other . But how ? " Guess you are the trash who treats her like nothing " Marvin said , pulling me by the waist , closer to himself . I gasped . He was trying to act along , trying to make it look like he was truly having an illegal affair with me . " You took the project away from me , and you think you can take her away too ? " Larry's hardened gaze was on Marvin and my forehead creased , utterly confused . " What project ? " I asked Marvin , facing him . He didn't give a reply , instead he just watched " And you , Maya . I'm disappointed " Larry said and my confusion grew . You want to divorce me for him ? Because of the money he has ? " He said , and then I moved away from Marvin wanting an explanation . Money ? Project ? They all sounded weird to me . " Can someone explain this ? " I asked , my gaze solely fixed on Marvin . " What explanation do you need , Maya ? " Brandy was stepping closer . " You were caught cheating Red - handed " She yelled . I couldn't be less glad that Marvin had reserved the whole bar . " Stay out of this , Brandy " I warned . " You are trying to change the subject when it's all about you " she said , now stopping right in front of me . Whores like her need to be taught a lesson , isn't it , Larry ? " She asked , tilting her head to face Larry . He didn't say a word , only kept his gaze on me . Like I was a mistake he had made , a disappointment to him . Brandy faced me once again , her hand now poking king my chest " You are despicable , do you know that ? " She poked my chest . I did nothing , just watched her . Then Marvin held her hand , his frame towering over me . He twisted her arms and that made her yell " Marvin , " I stood beside him , grabbing his cloth . " Let her go , " I told him . # 25 BONUS " Don't you ever touch my sister ever again , not while I'm present " he gritted and Brandy spent before she replayed Marvin's words in her head . pent a minute nursing her hand Larry must have done that too . Their eyes widened in shock as Larry asked , " Your ... sister ? " Yes . He's my brother " I also admitted The two were getting to know something they've never heard before . " So , tell me my voice sounded a little bit drunk , but I knew what I was doing . How do you know each other ? " I asked and Larry was the one who gave a response . " Don't you know your brother is the CEO of RaD group of companies ? And that he's the one who came out of nowhere and snatched the project I had been bidding on for the past two years away " Larry said . 1 chuckled . Absurd . Crazy . Impossible . My gaze went to Marvin , but he wasn't denying it . " You are the CEO of a company ? " It sounded so funny to me as I asked the question . " Maya . That's explainable " my gaze widened when he didn't deny it and then I stepped backward . I had thought I knew my brother , but I was wrong . It was understandable . We didn't keep in touch for three years and all these happened during those times but still , it was too much to bear , so hard to comprehend . I swallowed hard , closing my eyes as I tried to regain myself " We'll talk about this later , Marvin . Not now " I told him and then stormed out , into the car waiting outside . The driver who I had told to go back home was the same person driving the different car . " I'm sorry Miss . I had no other option than to tell Boss when he asked " he said , but I didn't even care about him . All I could think about was RaD group of companies . It wasn't even a company . It's a group . It will have hospitals , hotels and all those rich people stuff Larry got in beside me while Brandy got into the passenger's seat . I didn't acknowledge them , didn't act like they existed . Maya . I'm sorry I didn't know ..... I didn't let him finish . " It's okay , it's understandable " I said , my gaze getting fixed on my phone . " I'm also sorry , Maya . Please forgive me " . I couldn't find a bit of sincerity in those words , but I said nothing I looked up RaD and truly, my brother's photo came up . +25 BONUS Marvin Vinn . He made it . I should be glad he's a big and powerful man even if he hadn't made it to the very top yet , but I didn't know what was wrong , I just couldn't understand the situation . We got to the mansion , and instead of heading to the bedroom , I chose to spend the night in one of the guest rooms instead . " Maya ... I told you we can divorce after the gala party " Larry said when he saw me leaving . I turned , facing him . "If I sleep here , what changes ? " I asked him and I saw the way he gulped . He wasn't going to hold me in his arms and tell me he loves me . He wasn't going to cuddle me to sleep , so why bother staying ? " Have a nice night , Larry Jonathan " The way I called the name was different from the sweet way I used to call it but I didn't Care I was trying to get used to letting him go , trying to practice spending nights without having him by my side . The gala party is in three days , and before then , I want to start practicing distancing myself
