Chapter 76
KATHERINE:
Everything felt so strange. Maybe it was just me or anybody, but then the house felt so very strange. The atmosphere, the air, it was just very uncomfortable to breathe in.
As I came down the stairs, Leo was seated on a long two–seated couch staring at his phone while I stood behind him,
“Can’t you reconsider? Try to convince her to stay please.” I uttered from behind him. I didn’t want Tanya to leave, not just because of me, but also because of him. She was his only family, the only family he ever talked about to me, and even more, he loved her very much.
I had no idea what happened to their parents, but seeing that Leo never talks about it, something bad must have happened to them. Something maybe he didn’t want to remember or talk about.
“We’re not having this discussion, Katherine.”
“Are you going to ignore me? You told me if there was something that you needed then I should speak up. This is it. It’s here, what I want is here, Leo. I want Tanya to stay back and maybe you two can try and fix the relationship you never had. I have no idea what is going on or why you keep pretending like you don’t love her, but I know you do. You never say it, but deep down you love Tanya so much and it’s not a bad thing.” I went silent for a few seconds to catch my breath.
“It’s not a bad thing to love your sister. That’s what big brothers are meant to do, isn’t it?”
Leo turned around to face me and when he was about to utter a word, Tanya’s voice cut in next,
“Katherine, I’m ready. Shall we?”
I turned around to stare at her, “Could you give me a minute, I’ll be outside with you shortly.”
She nodded her head, but I could see her trying as much as possible to avoid his gaze. Her expression looked more like she didn’t care anymore, or like she had given up on trying to even gain his love and bjs recognition.
Immediately Tanya walked out of the living room, Leo tucked his hand into his pocket and rose to his feet,
“She’s waiting for you, Katherine, I think you should go.” He said. I was about to utter a word but he began to walk away and when he walked past me, I heaved deeply. Maybe there was no point in trying to convince him anymore
They both didn’t want to be close to each other and since the feeling was mutual, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.
I began to walk upstairs so I could pick up my bag and meet Tanya outside. Once I was done, I rushed out and met Tanya waiting close to the car. She was on her phone, while Blake was standing close to her.
I walked over to them and halted, then I cocked my head towards Blake,
“There’s no need to tag along. We’ll just go on our own and we’ll be fine, Blake.”
I had expected Blake to disagree with me like he always does, but this time he simply took two steps away from the car and I stared at him in surprise not knowing what to say.
“Why?”
“I talked to him. We’ll be fine on our own Katherine and besides, there’s someone I want you to meet today.” Tanya said to me and I
nodded
We both got into the car. I ignited the engine and drove out of the mansion immediately.
“We’re alone now. We’re far away from the mansion, so don’t you think you should talk to me? Tell me what’s wrong maybe so I don’t have to keep getting worried even after you leave.”
She was silent. I took my eyes off the road for a quick second so I could stare at her because she was silent,
“Tanya…”
“We argued.”

Chapter 76
Thankfully, she was talking already.
Okay, that’s a good start. About what exactly?”
Family
1 arched my brows and cocked my head towards her for another second before focusing on the road again. This time around. I was BO
Curious.
Family? What about it? Does Leo not like you talking about your family?
“No! It’s not that okay” She heaved. “It’s just that it’s a really sensitive matter to him and I guess I said something foolish at the end of the conversation. Something that reminded him of his horrible past. Something that made him remember what be never wanted to remember for the rest of his life.”
This was starting to get said.
Did you mean it? Whatever you said to him”
“I was just angry. I lost my senses for some reason, and I just let it all out. I’m not leaving because I don’t want to stay here, in fact, I love
it here. I love it here with you and now that I think I’ve found. she paused for a few seconds.
“I just have to go before things get out of hand. Hopefully, I’d be long gone before Leo finds out anything.”
“Anything? Did you.”
Fuck! Watch the road, Katherine.” Tanya yelled and that was when I remembered to focus. I had almost hit a car,
I decided to forget about the conversation and begin a new one instead since there was so much hidden that I didn’t know about yet.
“So who’s this special someone that you desperately want me to meet? A girl? Your best friend?” I questioned knowing that this conversation would spice things up and clear up any unusual mood,
Tanya smiled as she cocked her head towards me,
“A guy.”
I chuckled a bit,
“Someone you like? You want to show me someone you like?”
“No. It’s not someone I like. Well, I do love him even though he’s a dick head most of the time.”
“Then who’s he to you?”
“A brother Katherine, he’s my brother.”
This was where I got extremely confused, and this was where I thought Tanya was fucking joking.
