Chapter 51 *** Brother-in-law Again ***

[ CHAPTER THEME SONG:
Jealous By Nick Jonas ]

[ VERONICA'S POV ]

I breathed through my mouth unevenly after Asher looked straight through my eyes. I could read emotions, hopes in his amber eyes. He was desperately awaiting for my answer but I couldn't still reach out the conclusion that whether comforting him with lie or hurting him with truth would be the best choice.

Then my eyes met Victoria's warning eyes which mutely threatened me that don't you dare to break his heart. I turned my head to face Asher again and breathed out between my constant bite on my bottom lips,
" I..I...I... want.. the same..for..you.. Asher.."

His brown eyes widened before beaming into happiness. He gave me one big toothy smile before whispering out closing an inch gap between us,
" Then wait for my arrival, Princess."

My cheeks caught fired up by his sweet words. I mean, it was natural since he was calling me princess in front of two standing people. I caught a glimpse of Blake's expression from the corner of my eyes. His jaws clenched tightly, dissapointment flooded from his blue eyes as he stared at me deeply offended.

Without uttering anymore words, he ordered huskily tearing his angry eyes from me,
" Let's go! Our jet is waiting."

Victoria nodded smiling at me happily as she clung onto Blake's arms before heading off for the outdoor. Asher promised to transfer his barrack in B Nation very soon. I smiled at his enthusiasm fakingly and bid farewell when Blake urged to hop into his jet as fast as possible. For some weird reasons, I had a feeling that he was delibaretly reducing the time between me and Asher.

[ THIRD PERSON'S POV ]

Blake decided to land in airport instead of his house. The Media was expecting their arrival and an explanation from everyone of them. It was best that they didn't crowd his mansion.

" Am I looking perfect to get pictured, Blake?", Victoria asked for the fifteen times in their entire ride. Victoria tugged onto her top nervously. She was always very picky about her style and fashion. Today Veronica insisted on dressing up her since she was weak physically. At some point, Victoria thought that she didn't look good enough.

Blake replied a little bit annoyed this time,
" You are already a supermodel, Victoria. What are you insecure about?"

Victoria pouted her lips and ignored his words before looking down to fix her closer again. Blake's eyes found Veronica behind them who was busy in bringing out her luggage without caring about her image at all. She looked slightly distracted and Blake assumed that he was the reason behind it.

Noises of reporters began to come out from distance as he shifted his attention back on the media. Victoria waved her hand at them, tugged Blake to go ahead leaving Veronica all alone with her staffs.

Victoria approached the media with a smile and greeted everyone politely. Blake forced smile as his all attention was on Veronica who was left behind them. One of the reporter asked to Victoria,
" Victoria, how are you feeling now? Welcome back in B Nation. Can you please explain the entire situation that happened during the days of your missing?"

Victoria replied in her professional voice after fixing the sunglass over her noise,
" Thanks for your good wishes, everyone. I will soon hold a press conference to explain the entire issue. Untill then I don't want to talk about this topic as it concerns legal matters."

The reporter understood and switched to another topic. One of the reporter again asked mysteriously,
" So who do you think that deserves the most credit of your comeback safely?"

This time, Victoria smiled proudly. She leant onto Blake's shoulders in front of the cameras and declared proudly,
" Of course, it's my hubby. Who other else?"

Another female reporter mentioned in a stern voice,
" But we have the information that your sister, Veronica went to look for you in C Nation. Do you think that she had done nothing for you?"

Victoria appeared uneasy a little. She smiled weakly as she appeared pale on surface,
" I...I.. didn't mean that..She also helped..yeah..she.."

Blake's voice cut off rest of her words as he explained truthfully,
" Of course, Victoria was our biggest support in this mission. She was the one who managed to seek help from B Nation's military or else it would been nearly impossible."

At that moment, Veronica scooted closer as the medias focus fell on her. As soon as they saw Veronica, all the reporters ran onto her. Ever since her one high heeled runaway walk went viral, most of the top brands showed their interest on working with Veronica from B Nation. All of them were waiting for her come back patiently. Naturally she was carrying the most attention right away. Besides Victoria wasn't active for months and had done few commercials only before going missing.

Though Veronica was a little surprised after having so much attention on her, she started to answer them professionally and briefly talked about what happened over there.

Victoria bit down her lips in agony when she saw no reporters around them. Her face turned pale in dissapointment as she heard Blake asking softly,
" Let's get inside the car, Victoria. Your father is waiting to meet you."

Victoria followed Blake into the car marchingly. After hopping onto the car, she pulled down her sunglasses and barked at Blake angrily,
" You said that I am looking good but look at this now. The reporters didn't ask me to pose. I must be looking ugly and it's all Veronica's fault. She has a horrible taste in fashion."

Blake narrowed his gaze slightly. He spoke to her softly considering the fact that she was having a poor health,
" Relax, Victoria. You are overthinking. Victoria has been active in industry even though she was in B nation. Naturally she would be more focused than you. No matter how big star you are, you are bound to be washed away once you no longer work successfully."

Victoria wasn't ready to hear anything. She was pissed off about the entire situation. She scoffed at Blake arrogantly,
" It seems like they have forgotten that who is the supermodel of year! Anyways let's get going. Dad must be waiting for us."

Blake hummed before asking the driver to start the car. His eyes found Veronica's conversation with the reporters through the rear view mirror. His lips curved up into a smile proudly.

His girl..she was amazing as always..!

***************
The Vila of Knight's was cheering in happiness today. Veronica's father was overwhelmed in happiness after having his two daughters back together. Blake seeked forgiveness for his wrong behavior in the past. Their father naturally forgave him and blessed to live long happily. He asked Victoria and Blake to stay overnight in order to feel like home. But Veronica didn't feel comfortable in thinking that he would be sharing the bed with other woman.

To forget about her sorrows, she hooked up with her one old friend and colleague, Kelly. They both entered into a restaurant and began to eat their favorite spicy chicken with Vodka.

Kelly noticed the change on Veronica's expression as she asked taking a large bite from her chicken,
" What's wrong with you? Your expression look so bad. Is something bothering you? As I said, you can trust me with everything, Veronica."

Kelly was a good listener and mature minded with whom Veronica could share everything. Taking a long breath, Veronica explained the situation with Kelly who turned dumbstruck.

After hearing from Veronica, Kelly understood that Veronica was deeply in love with Blake and perhaps Blake felt the same. Sighing out helplessly, Kelly responded clasping Veronica's palm to support,
" I understand your feeling, bae. But according to my thoughts, Blake wouldn't be able to get over his relationship with Victoria because of the guilt that he felt towards Victoria. Among three people, one need to cry to make the other two happy. My suggestion is for you that you should forget Blake to avoid more problems. Besides, Victoria is alive and living with him. How will you accept a man who has wife? People will call you a mistress for ruining a relationship."
Veronica fell in dillemma after Kelly's words. She knew that even if she wanted, her instinct wouldn't let her get in touch again with Blake.

He was her brother-in-law, her sister's husband, damn it!

It was best for them, for everyone! She should forget about Blake completely. From today onwards, he is brother-in-law again.
