"Let's make a bet. If this is true, you pay me a thousand bucks and if it's not, I will do the same. Deal?"

Nate took a deep breath, holding his phone to his ear. He didn't have that much money to spare but he knew his friend, Denis, would never tell him baseless things. But at the same time, he had hoped to win the bet.

"Deal!" Nate replied and ended the call, his expression hardening as he walked slowly into the villa that belonged to his wife's family. He had just got off the phone with a friend who had informed him about his wife's suspicious activities.

However, he refused to believe any slander against his wife, who had always been so loving. So, he decided to see for himself. He got into the villa but it was silent, like it was supposed to be. His wife wasn't supposed to be home in the first place, why would she frolic with another man during office hours?

His heart went calm and he decided to dial his informant, to get ready to fulfill the deal when a scream resounded from the second floor.

"Alice?" He whispered to himself, a bit shocked. She was actually in the house contrary to what he thought. However, the bed didn't even cross his mind, he was worried that his wife was in danger. Why else would she scream that way?

He quickly rushed up the stairs and forced the door of their bedroom open.

"Alice, are you okay?" He said, rushing in but then he stopped as his eyes took in the full expanse of the room. There were clothes sprawled on the floor and the room reeked of sex. His eyes landed on the bed where his wife was looking at him with an astonished expression.

"Nate… Nate… what are you doing here?" She stuttered. Her body was covered under the sheets as she sat upright but it was quite obvious that she was naked underneath the sheets.

"What were you doing?" Nate asked with a slight whisper. He already knew the answer but she was all alone on the bed. Where was her accomplice?

"Nate… listen to me-"

"I said what were you doing?" Nate blew up, his eyes going red in anger. "Where the fuck is that man?" He yelled, storming into the room and flung open the door to the closet but no one was there. He proceeded toward the bathroom and Alice immediately stood up from the bed, going to block his path.

"Nate! Stop! This is not what you think. Can you calm down and I will explain to you?" She pleaded.

"Calm down?" He scoffed, glaring at her angrily. "You want me to calm down after you cheated on me?"

"I didn't cheat!"

"Then what is this? Look at this mess! You are fucking naked and there is another man in this house!"

"Get out of my way!" He pushed her aside to get to the bathroom, he was sure the other man was in there and he was determined to fish him out.

Soon, he yanked the door open, and sure, there was another man in there. He was shirtless and only had a little boxer short that did nothing to hide his bulge.

However, all this was no concern to Nate as he stared at the man's face with complete disbelief in his eyes.

"Nathan?" He whispered.

"Yes, that's me, cousin. It's nice that you finally found out the truth." Nathan smirked proudly and Alice facepalmed her face. There was nothing to hide anymore.

On the other hand, Nathan threaded forward with so much pride, his eyes sparking with electric power and his aura was deadly. Nate had no choice but to step backward, feeling overwhelmed by Nathan.

However, he still couldn't wrap his head around what was happening there.

"Can one of you tell me what is going on here? I am seeing things, right?" Nate asked, tears clouding his eyes. The thought of his cousin's brother shagging his wife was painful and he didn't want to accept it.

"It's true, Nate." Alice went to stand beside Nathan whose body hummed with energy in contrast to the frail body Nate possessed.

"So, it's true?" Nate was heartbroken, he looked away from them, trying not to let his tears spill. His hand shoved through his hair, and a feeling of frustration overwhelmed him.

"Are you still in denial, brother?" Nathan's voice filled with mockery resounded causing Nate to look at him.

"Don't fucking call me your brother!" Nate said through gritted teeth as he pointed a shaky finger at Nathan. "A brother would never hurt me! A brother would never-"

Alice cut him off, "Oh please!" She raised her hand in frustration. "Enough with the tears. Are you even a real man? Are you even worthy enough to be seen as Nathan's brother?" She was tired of Nate and wanted to put him in his place.

"What did you say?" Nate felt another bolt of pain.

"You heard me!" Alice shot at him. "Look at you, you can't be compared to him in any way. He is strong and you are weak. He is rich and you are poor, you rely on my family even for your daily needs. And what's more, he is one of the strongest and most gifted with power running through his veins in this city. Are you even half of a man that he is?"

Nate was dumbfounded as he couldn't refute her words. Everything she said was true. Right from birth, he was worthless with no strength or power to show forth. His parents were poor and he was lucky when he married Alice.

Compared to his cousin who came from rich parents, he was nothing. He was useless since birth and he stayed only in the shadows of his cousin.

"So, you cheated on me with him all because of that?" His voice shook. "I thought you loved me."

"Yes, I did." Alice chuckled. "But not until my eyes opened. I realized that Nathan is the man for me and you should get lost!" She hissed at him and immediately wound her hands around his neck.

"Cousin, I guess you have to leave. We still had unfinished business." Nathan said and he didn't even wait for Nate to leave before slamming his lips on hers. They kissed so passionately and Nate's eyes burned with tears seeing that.

He was filled with so much rage and jealousy and he could never watch and see them happy together.

"You crazy bastards!" He yelled, rushing toward them as he wanted to tear them apart. Nate aimed at Nathan and as soon as his hand touched his cousin's body, it sparked with electricity.

"Ahhhh!" Nate screamed, feeling sharp stinging pain throughout his body and he could feel his body go dry.

"You think you could harm me?" Nathan smirked, holding onto Nate tightly as he continued to pump controlled currents of electricity into Nate's body.

"I could kill you here and nothing is going to happen. You are a weakling with nothing to your name. No one would even remember your existence." A look of wickedness appeared in Nathan's eyes. He looked at Alice who had a look of disgust in her eyes. She wanted Nate out quickly.

"Why don't we finish what we started outside?" Nathan sneered, at Nate who already looked so gaunt and pale like there was no single drop of blood in his body.

A few minutes later, Nathan flung Nate's body right outside the villa. Nate's body fell with a loud thud, his body scraped through the hard ground, tearing through his skin. Nate could only groan in pain as he had lost all his energy.

"Now, shall I kill you or cause you more pain?" Nathan smirked, evilly.
