Chapter 148: Chapter 148

Aria and Kathleen ended up sleeping on same bed, Cole is admiring his two daughters, for years he had hope that they get to know each other and live as siblings do, even though they are not from same mother, he really doesn't want the two to be like Barbara and Claudia, his friends daughter, they were siblings yet more like enemies.

After Riley told him about his intentions for Aria, he is happy and still afraid, that his two daughters might not get the opportunity to make amends. Yet fate is on his side.

Father! Aria called, she was the first one to open her eyes.

Shh! Look how naughty the girl is. Atty Cole, point at the sleeping Kathleen.

She is more beautiful and calm in her sleep. Aria added.

Maybe, we should make her keep sleeping.

I heard that. Kathleen said openning her eyes.

Silly!

Good morning Dad!

Good morning my lovely daughter. Aria look at her father.

Stop looking at me, you are my daughter, my youngest daughter.

Hm! I have heard, I go to my room now and Sorry I slept here.

It's nothing baby sister. Kathleen give Aria a peck, then she hugged her, Cole hugged the two.

Thank you two. The two peck their father. Have your sister tell you that, Riley proposal. Kathleen nodded, then her face go sour.

Why baby sister?

Stop calling me baby sister, it make me look really small.

You are my baby sister and I want you to be my maid of honor.

Hm! So excited, I will let Barbara know. Kathleen is excited, Cole run his hand on Kathleen's hair.

Are you alright? Cole asked, she nodded. I know you are not, anyways Dante called, he said that he is coming.

Coming? Kathleen asked in surprised.

Yes, that was the reason I was looking for you and I couldn't find you in your room but I was told that you are here with Aria

Oh! I will get dress, so I can meet him when he arrives. Aria hurry to her room, she really doesn't know the reason Dante want to see her, she took her bath in a hurry, Dante is waiting patiently for Kathleen, he gave her a wide smile as she join in at the guest living room.

****

Hey man, what brought you here?

I missed you...

Telling lies, you and I know that Barbara is the only woman, you missed.

Silly, everyone missed you, me, Sally and Jayden, he missed you more than anyone of us.

I knew it, I know you are here because of Jayden.

Yes and no, yes it's the main point reason and no because you are my friend.

I don't want to talk about Jayden, let's just talk about the other issue.

Do you hate him that much? He asked as he take a sip from the fruit juice.

I don't hate him, I only don't want him anymore, staying too close to him is not good at all, I can't...

Try and understand him, it's difficult for him, he is trying to make the right decision, he won't hurt you.

Kathleen smiled at him, then sip on fruit juice.

I Know you will support him, after all, he is your brother.

You should know me better, I will never support him especially when the matter affect you, one thing I know is that, he loves you.

Dante, he doesn't love me, we are not in a relationship, we are just friends nothing else.

Calm down, Kathleen.

I am calm. Kathleen's voice is not calm, it's obvious that she is not calm, she is in pain.

I know you are not calm and you are in pain, what my brother did to you, is very bad? I am not supporting him, and his act is not excusable, you have every right to be mad at him. You should hear it out.

Hear him out? For more lies? Can't you see that, I have already heard everything, nothing is new to me.

You need to hear the truth, the entire truth. She drop the glass of juice on top the table, she look at him straight in the eyes.

What more does he want to say?

Alot, you didn't give him the chance to explain everything to you.

Come on, I know he had a fiancee right from the start, he didn't tell me, I found that out, I confronted him then, he agrees to it but as time goes on, he told me that, he is not interested in that girl and that, he is not ready for any relationship and now that she is back, why didn't he tell me? When was he going to tell me.

Dante look at her, the truth is that, Kathleen didn't give him any opportunities to explain himself to her, she just left, block him and pushed him into the dark

You are not getting me, he heard everything, he admitted it but he never did explain everything to you, you didn't give him the chance to do what is right.

You keep capitalizing on explanation, what is there to explain? Kathleen asked him

Alot Kathleen, alot to explain, he deserves a chance to explain to you.

So that he can lie to me more?

If he didn't lie to you before, he will not lie to you now, Jayden wouldn't lie, yes, he made a mistake, never have I for once see my brother behave this way, ever since he met you, he had change big time, girl, he is crazy about you, he has never been in love before, this is the first time, he is in love.

It doesn't change anything, he lie to me, I thought he came back because he wants to keep me in his life. I fell in love with him, right for the first time, we were intimate, I admit I am stupid to put my heart on the line yet I really want to put my heart on the line. I don't want to have one sided love.

No way, he too is in love with you, it's not one sided love. He shouldn't had fall for you but he did. I shouldn't tell you this but the true is, this whole thing is an arrange marriage and you should know Jayden, it's not what he wants but the truth is, been the firstborn of a family, it's not really up to him to make decisions

It's not my issue, he should go ahead and deal with it, better still, he should go get married to the woman.

That is never going to be possible.

Why? Why is it impossible? Kathleen asked with keen interest, he look at him.

It simple, he fall in love, Jayden fall in love for the first time, he had always say he is not going to fall in love but he did, he fall for you.

Kathleen look at him, she felt that, Dante is trying to swindle her, he is only supporting his brother and friend. There is no way, a man will love a woman and hurt that same woman.

At first Jayden doesn't want to agree to it, he only agree because he never believe that, he will fall in love and that he is better if he goes with his father decision and get engaged to the woman but fortunately, he met you, everything changed, he did fall in love with you.

What?
