7 - Final Word

WHEN Cuhen laughed at Azael in his private office, Azael's brows were drawn together. His line of business is real estate, and he owns a number of large and well-known shopping malls both in the Philippines and internationally. Azael knew that as the only son of Legrand, he would inherit the businesses, especially because his only sister Amara had no interest in business.

He increased their family business even more at the age of twenty-seven. Azael is sometimes frightened, especially if the client is a woman, because most of them are enamored by his charms. The benefit of being excessively attractive.

"You appear to be in a bad mood," he observed.

"She's avoiding me."

“Who? Is it your fling or Amara, the little sissy? Come on, buddy, just get a life! She's your sister, for crying out loud." Cuhen's smile faded and his expression became somber.

He didn't respond. He'd do it if it were that simple.

"Look, loving isn't all bad. But oh my goodness! Do you have feelings for your own sister? Because we are friends, I understand, but what if your parents find out? You're a complete moron."

"Last night, she kissed me."

"Fuck!"

"Amara was inebriated and mistook me for Theon."

Cuhen burst out laughing at what he had just stated. "That's the way things are. She seemed to have a thing for Theon. I can't say I blame her; after all, you're siblings."

He sighed and breath out of air. There was a time when he thought he was stupid. Perhaps he should avoid Amara as well and channel his emotions onto other people. He believes he grew too close to his younger sister. He'll keep avoiding Amara and attempt to forget about her. But can he do it?

He knew the feelings he had for her were evil and forbidden, so he put up with not seeing her for a few months. And with that fortitude, he decided to look at another woman. He expresses his sentiments to Yve, the woman he was with last night. They've been through a lot of sex, but Amara is still in his system, and he's having a hard time getting rid of her. His heart is fucked! Even with his own sister, he has a lot to love!



"THEON!" When Amara noticed the young man strolling down the corridor with his pals, she called out to him.

"Why, my lovely young lady?" He gave a mischievous grin. He's all over the place!

She would have been thrilled, but her question was more pressing, so perhaps next year she will be.

"Wasn't it you who drove me home last night?"

Everyone was squealing with glee. "Theon, you're a beast!" They hit and hit the young man at the same time. "Can you tell me how you got past her brother Azael like a Lion? We're not even allowed to touch Amara's hand! Teach us!"

She gave them a childlike look. Is she the thr topic here? The young man laughed and lifted his hand to silence his men before turning back to face her.

"It's not me, my lovely woman, but it's your brother Azael," It winked at her, and his pals relaxed at the same time. They grabbed Theon and hauled him away from her without saying anything.

Her eyeball rolled. Theon's pals are so obnoxious! She hasn't finished speaking yet. She winced, however, when she remembered Theon's final words.

It's Azael, your brother.

Azael, it's your brother...

It's Azael...

Oh, my goodness!

She hid her face behind her hand and seemed to want to vanish from the scene. So it was her own older brother she kissed?! She was taken aback when she realized she had kissed her own brother! She quickly covered her face and froze. Some students stared at her, but she didn't seem to mind! Shit! Shit! Why?!

She dashed to the nearest restroom, washing her face and rinsing her mouth. She even slapped herself in the face and pointed in the mirror. She washed and rinsed her mouth several times. It can't be the strange feelings and shit, even if she has a crush on Azael! It's her older brother on the other end of the line. They're brothers and sisters!

How would she deal with this humiliation? At the very least, Azael had his own home, which made her feel a little better. That means she won't be able to see him and will be able to forget about the incident. She will simply believe that everything is a nightmare.

That day, she went home a fool. She went straight to her room, like she always did, and pondered about what she had done the night before. Is it true that they kissed? Oh, my goodness! Maybe she raped Azael and he couldn't scream for help or stop her because she was so beautiful and wild the night before, so he just let her!

She screamed in embarrassment, only to giggle later. It seemed impossible for her to think that. She simply decided to go for a swim and think about how to forget about that night. Shit! She got infected with Theon's flirty personality as a result of this.

Amara has given up hope of rekindling her friendship with Azael. She didn't see him again either, she didn't hear any news of him. Contributing to her but that's even better because she knows that Azael's world can't revolve around her anymore. Azael has a girlfriend and one day he will marry someone and that makes her sad.

"Please mom!" With pouted lips, she asked, "I'm seventeen, and Theon will be with me." That night, they were sitting at the dinner table, her father quietly eating.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you can't—"

She didn't finish her mother's sentence, "Daddy, please?" She pleaded with her father to help at her. She was confident that it would support her. Her father sighed and gave his wife a sidelong glance.

"Don't tell me you're going to side with your daughter and let her go with Theon?" her mother asked, her voice tinged with irritation and anger. "Oh my god!"

Amara, grinning. Unfortunately, if there is a debate, she will stake money that she will win. So, while eating so much rice, she silently cheered herself, because she loves their dishes tonight!

"It's all right, honey. After all, when she reaches legal age, Theon will be the one she marries. It's in the will, so she'll be able to legally accompany him."

She was blown away by what she ate, but she smiled when she caught a glimpse of her father surreptitiously winking at her. That means its a joke in the hopes of persuading her Godzilla mother to agree.

"Yes, My, I love Theon as well. Allow me, I'll marry him regardless," she smirked at her blunder. Why did she say it, exactly? She didn't care for Theon. It's only a crush, not love! But she said so, and she stood by her word, trusting her father's wink.

Theon will go on trips and tours with his friends, and he invited her to join them. Herrence, her crush, will also be there, so she will go. She is relieved to learn that her older brother Azael will not join her on the trip.

She isn't the only woman here; in fact, everyone has a partner, and she... It's possible that it's just Theon. He treats her with respect.

They chose Sagada, which was a three-day, two-night trip. That's correct; they don't have class this coming Friday. She only wants to be a teenager for a moment, and she trusts Theon to help her do so.

"Pardon me, Dad," Azael interrupted.

The abrupt appearance of her older brother Azael caught her off guard. She couldn't see what it looked like because she had turned around and realized it had moved closer to her. She became jittery out of nowhere, but was quickly alerted. She knew he'd become engrossed in their chat once more, and the finale would prevent her from accompanying Theon. But because their Daddy is on her side, everything is well.

"You've arrived, Azael!" Their mother is so happy to see him.

Azael walked up to their mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek before saluting their father. She gave a tiny smile; one of the things she enjoyed about her older brother was that he was courteous, but she produced a sour expression when he looked at her. It sat down in front of her, and she became irritated by his attractiveness. Why was it born attractive? She offered him a smug look.

"Did I hear it correctly? Amara set up a marriage with Theon, who is only interested in women and has a brain full of water? ”

She couldn't decide whether to laugh at its portrayal of her crush or be upset since she sensed Azael would go against her intention to accompany Theon. What is this arranged marriage he's referring to? It was just their father's trip, and she merely accompanied him. She was well aware that their Daddy would never do such a thing to her.

"Azael," began their father. "This is not the appropriate time or place to discuss that. Let's start with a meal."

She smiled. After all, she'll win, and Azael won't do her any good. Why doesn't he just go back to his girlfriend, even though he's flirty and his mind is full with women?

However, she lost her smile when she mistookly looked at his luscious lips when she looked at him.

Shit! The kiss had happened, she suddenly realized. Did she kiss him, or was it just a joke? It was only a dream, and she knew Azael would not let her do it, especially since they were siblings. She smiled again as she felt relieved to believe that. She didn't give a damn about the meal any longer. Why hadn't she considered that possibility? She was still intellectually impaired, but she had enough brain cells to modify her own brain.

"No, Dad, I'm only curious whether what I heard is accurate."

"Will you stop meddling?" Her mouth was full of food, but she couldn't stop herself from intruding, and what was within came out. "Sorry," she hastily covered her mouth, but she was still staring at him, suggesting him to stop!

"Okay, since I know you don't keep quiet until you have what you want, you'll just follow me to the library room later."

She's a winner! Their parents agreed, and she quickly finished the meal and decided to call Theon on the other line to let him know that she can go to Sagada with him! She's excited!
