Love could tarnish the purity of the heart, blind the soul, paralyze the rational, and even subvert the solid principles because when someone has fallen in love, there was only one desire, it was named possessive.

The shouting sound suddenly made them stop the fight, both George and Meena reflexively turned towards the source of the sound. There was a young girl with beautiful blonde hair staring in shock at them. With the mini denim skirt and crop top she wore, she looked so alluring and cute. Even with her irritated look on her face, she was more beautiful to look at. Both men were stunned.
"Brother..! what the hell is this?" she snapped, glaring at George and Meena.
The two men spontaneously rose to their feet. "Ah.. we just .." George tried to explain but she cut his sentences.
"Just what…!? Just make a little show that will be viral in all media in the world and make our reputation even better, right? She said gravely.
Charlotte's character was indeed more mature and wise when compared to her two siblings. With her 19 years old, she was more reliable by her parents. But still, she was a woman, so the parents' priority was George. Considering he was the crown prince.
Both of those men just bowed silently like children who were scolded by her mother for making mistakes. After a while, Meena then opened his voice.
"E… Charlotte, it's not like what you see, I can explain.." with a grimace he tried to reason but didn't know what to say. The incident was so sudden, even he cursed George for hitting him first. The girl then looked at him.
"I'm really curious about what big problem you two get and making you both became like this. I thought you both are solid enough for anything, but I didn't expect you both could break too." She said sarcastically.
Meena just took a deep breath hearing her words.
"I'm disappointed with both of you, especially with you." She said, pointing right at Meena's face, and walked away. Meanwhile, Meena just stared at her regretfully.
"Look, what you have done, she's gotten mad at me." He snapped at George and ran after Charlotte. Meanwhile, George just stayed frozen. He then gestured his guards to approach him and instructed them in some way. After that, he left.
Meena was seen trying to keep up with Charlotte's fast steps.
"Charlotte come on, keep your stop down. Let me explain first," he said as he grabbed her wrist. Well, they were close friends and their relationship was a pure sibling.
Even charlotte's affection for Meena tended more than given to George. Therefore, Meena gave his full attention to charlotte. He already considered her a sister and favorite friend. He also often shared his problem, his love story with many girls, or whatever he wanted to talk to her about. He felt freely talked everything to Charlotte and Charlotte did the same.
"What do you want to explain, everything was displayed in front of everyone." Charlotte retorted, staring sharply.
Meena was silent for a moment, then he looked at her beautiful face and smiled.
"Can we get in your car first? I'll tell you everything." He asked then pulled charlotte's hand toward the car without waiting for her response.
Charlotte glared at Meena once they were in the car. "Explain, now!" she said impatiently. Looking at the beautiful girl before him, Meena smiled gently.
"It's because of love." Meena was silent for a moment then continued.
"Well, I and George love the same girl. And unfortunately, that girl loved George. But I can't just let her go for him. I love her and don't want her to get hurt. You know, if princess Silvia finds out about this, that girl will be hurt, and I won't it to happen." Meena explained, his face looked gloomy while charlotte was just frowning her forehead, she looked deep in thought.
"Hmm... I see. It makes me even more curious about her. What kind of girl she was, so all of you couldn't think carefully and crazy about her and fight over her." Charlotte said while stroking her pointy chin.
Charlotte thought hard because, to be honest, she didn't expect something like this to happen. Her two favorite men suddenly fight over the same girl.
She didn't agree that his brother was engaged to that Silvia. She wished one day her brother will meet the girl he loved and now her wishes were fulfilled, and the great thing was they even loved each other. Charlotte was very happy, however, on the other hand, her other beloved brother also loved that girl. Why did they have to love the same girl anyway? Thinking of that, she could only shake her head.
"Now you already know the reason, so don't be angry with me again. You better be angry with George for trying to betray his fiancé." Meena's words snapped her from her thought, her brow wrinkled.
'But he doesn't love Silvia and their engagement could break up any time.' Those words almost escaped from her mouth but luckily she realized. She might not provoke Meena because it would worsen his relationship with George.
"Okay, I won't be angry anymore but with a condition." She said, smiling sweetly.
"What is that?" Meena asked in surprise.
Charlotte slowly brought her face closer to Meena's ear and whispered something. After hearing what Charlotte wanted to, Meena just raised his eyebrow and smiled, he stared at her with a questioning look.
"Are you sure you want that?" Meena asked her to make sure. Charlotte simply nodded happily.
"Okay, as you wish my girl." He finally approved while touching her chin gently.
"Yeah..! you are my best brother," she cheered enthusiastically while kissing Meena's cheek.
"What about George, is he the best too?" He asked while gently stroking Charlotte's head. The girl then thought for a moment and embraced Meena.
"You are the first and he is the second one," Charlotte said while stared at him and smiling. They looked so close to each other. They need each other and their relationship was so deep.
Meanwhile, in the apartment.
Alesha was seen lying lazily in her bed while reading a romantic novel in her hand. From the moment George confessed her feeling, she had been smiling a lot. Her sweet face became even more radiant. She often read romantic storybooks instead of textbooks. She also recently regular calls from her parents and her sister in India informed that her nephew was born, she was so happy to know the news.
However, since George confessed his feeling to her, they never met anymore. But, George never missed even one day to send her some romantic messages. His attention by contacting her enough to make her happy. At first, it wasn't a big problem, but after 3 weeks passed, her uneasiness started to bother her. she started to feel anxious and longing for George.
George had not contacted her for the past 3 days, nor had she seen him at the campus. He also didn't send her even a message. "What happened to him? is he with his fiancé all this time? Akh... I must be crazy. I shouldn't love someone who is already engaged. It's clear he is with his fiancé and one day he will definitely marry her and I will be…" Alesha talked to herself with great worry.
Her eyes were teary, her heartfelt ached at the thought of it all. She realized all consequences that she would face later but she was so sure with her deep love. She also knew that George didn't love his fiancé. So she never cared about all warnings from Olivia. Even Meena who always tried to make sure that George was not a good one for her, couldn't reduce her feeling for George. Love was blind after all.
Suddenly her phone rang…
