Chapter 108 - This is me trying

Under the crystal chandelier hanging on the ceiling, a table was filled with a feast, maids scurried back and forth to make sure that the table was set before their guest arrive.

The Dane's residence, a house located in the city inside of an exclusive subdivision, were most people with money and power were living.

Including the Dane, Killian's father, working as a police chief together with his wife Vilma has been living a luxurious life. They started everything from scratch and had made connections on the island.

People respected them, especially Killian's father, in the eyes of their friends, they were a perfect couple, they have been married for three decades and were planning to protect their figure at any cost.

When Vilma entered the dining area, the light beaming from the chandelier glowed her skin, making it look shiny and smooth.

Her green cashmere pantsuit enhanced her elegant face, every move she made was full of grace, even the smile she's putting on her lips was soft and full of life.

She sat next to her husband on the dining table, soon, their two sons came, both had a frown on their faces.

Killian was wearing a black polo and jeans, unlike Alejandro who had a suit on just like his father.

Killian smirked at his brother, his back leaned against the wall near the door, "where's the funeral Alejandro?" he said with amusement.

Alejandro ignored him, he looked at the watch on his wrist and turned to his mother.

He knows that Selena is coming, that's the reason why he put on good clothes. He also knows that he won't have any chance with her, but still, a single hope was still in his heart.

"When is Selena coming?" Alejandro asked Killian, the face was flat like the wall he's leaning on.

"Well," Killian uncrossed his arms, jammed it in his pocket with a mischievous smile on his lips, "my girlfriend will be here soon," he said, empathizing the word Girlfriend.

Alejandro's face darkened, lips pressed tightly while his hands balled into fists.

"Does your girlfriend know the real reason why you came to her life?" he scoffed, "you're my brother Killian, you're not supposed to steal your brother's girlfriend."

Killian laughed, and it sounded sarcastic, "I stole her?" his face full of amusement shook, "no brother, I didn't steal here. You and Selena had broken up so," he gave him a lopsided grin, "she's mine now. Just live with it."

Killian turned around, Selena will be coming soon and he wants to fetch her at the front door.

"Do you even love her Killian?" Alejandro's voice was full of sorrow.

"Who are you to ask me that?" Killian turned to face him, took a few steps closer with face wrinkling in anger.

"You killed my kid Alejandro and just as I said, I will take everything from you, I have started with Selena and there-" a pumped on his fist shut Killian's lips, he took a step back as he loosened his balance from the punch he received.

He smirked, wipe the blood on the side of his lips, "you certainly know how to punch," he tensed his shoulder, clenched his fist preparing to punch back.

"Stop it, you two!" their mother yelled, slammed both palms on the table, the elegance on her face has been replaced with irritation.

"Look, I don't care who get Selena, just don't fight in front of our maids." She said and took a deep sigh, slowly her face softened.

"Are you crazy?" Killian shouted at his mother.

"Hey, Killian! Watch your tongue," his father this time yelled, pointing a finger at him with anger.

Killian laughed, head shaking with amusement, "for what father?" he rose an eyebrow, "do you think I am like this pathetic bastard?" saying that he pointed a finger at Alejandro, "or your peasant wife who slept with a freaking stranger?"

He walked closer to the table, placed both hands on the empty space on the table, "You don't scare me father," he scoffed once, "but seriously, you're the worse," he said to his father, "threatening your wife for a divorce," his eyes full of anguish turned to his mother, "you deserve to be with him, mother, you two are seriously perfect for each other."

He turned around, he needs to calm down or else Selena will notice the weird ambiance of the house.

"Are you planning to marry her?" his mother said, she had gotten used to her son's blabber, his words don't hurt her anymore.

"Marry?" Killian squinted, "for what?" he turned to his father.

"So you and your pathetic husband could use me like how you used this bastard?"

Alejandro let out a shaky breath, his hand itched to throw another punch to his brother.

"Does Selena know?" Alejandro asked again, "does she know that you were only using her to get revenge on me for killing your child?" Alejandro roared, veins in his neck popped in with anger.

"It's not your business anymore," Killian responded, "also, thank you for contacting Katherine, nice job, she almost hurt Selena."

Then Killian, with his pitch-dark expression turned to his father, teeth clenching with irritation, "I won't marry her, not when you are still aliv-"

"Don't worry, I won't marry you either."

As the voice of a woman sounded in the room, a ring flew in the air and landed on Killian's chest.
