Anne got into her apartment,a small but neat space she could afford,she had a small living room,two rooms,a small but nice kitchen,a bathroom and a toilet.It was a comfortable space for her. The young lady went into her room and dropped her bag on her dresser before sitting on the bed,she gave a pained smile as she thought of Edward,she was still too young when she met him and then she thought of the young man who came for coffee. Crazy man!did he think she was a whore???how could he have moved so close to a lady on first encounter??she thought amused
Yes, he's handsome, probably much more handsome than Edward,but,she would not fall for looks anymore. Men were heartless!she concluded as she went ahead to have her bath. Bernard on the other hand just got on bed as soon as he got to his mansion without even putting off his dresses.
The coffee had really taken its toll on him.....

Aaron! Edward called as he hugged his brother tightly at the airport. Feels good to breath UK air again, Aaron said with a smile as they both proceeded to Edward's mansion which was a long drive away from from the airport but it didn't seem so to the brothers who were so excited
As the duo got In and settled on the cozy sofas in the living room and the maids got into action dishing out the various meals on the dining table.
They ate,drank and talked like kids. Just then,Aaron realized sth as he looked around
The mansion was unusually quiet.
"where's Anne?"he asked and Edward got caught up,he had not thought of her till dis very moment and he know how much Aaron liked her.
Edward gave a sigh and stared at his brother. After much battling,he said finally " she left"
Aaron was dumbfounded and he tried to find his tongue "left Edward?,or u pushed her out?"
I pushed her out,broke our engagement,cut off all ties,since two years ago.Edward said unconcerned and Aaron looked baffled."two years ago?? without where to go??why??.Aaron was now angry and right before he could receive a reply from Edward...a seductive lady walked I. with a smile plastered on her pretty face.
Hey Edward,she called and Aaron was shocked to see her and he looked from her to his brother with a questioning look in his eyes.But, Edward's head was bent low filling Aaron with realization.
Now,I know why I left the poor girl alone,cos of ur crazy desires...the young man said bitterly.
'Hi,I'm Jane,'she introduced
I'm Edward's girl friend and u must be his brother Aaron,nice to meet u, Edward has told me a lot about u.....
The lady said as she stretched forth her hand towards Aaron for a hand shake. Aaron didn't even budge to move as he left her hand suspended in the air before sighing deeply.
You have no manners,woman,Edward didn't teach u dat,all he did was get distracted by all ur" goodies"which is hell disgusting to me....
Aaron stood up in a jerk and left his brothers abode leaving Jane to digest all of the insults.
Edward wanted to go after him when Jane held him.
Did u hear all dat he just said to me?are u gonna just let him insult me without ur defence?she asked angrily and the young man forcefully pulled his hand out of her hold
He's my brother,u get it??u don't expect me to choose u over him or did u??
Edward fell back on the sofa leaving a disappointed Jane. And now,for a long time, Edward thought of Anne.
It's cos of u damn fool that Aaron's mad at me,u were not even that pretty...he voice out in frustration.
Are u talking to me Edward??Jane asked but got no reply since Edward who was lost in his own thoughts did not even hear her.....
