Deal with my ex-boyfriend's brother

We were once a happy couple, a perfect picture of a family, just the two of us. Until he dropped the words that I thought he wouldn't say.

"Abort the child."

My hands went to my mouth, covering it, trying to analyze what he blurted out.

"W-what? Are you crazy, Roux?!" I snarled at his face. How could he think of something like that? "Roux!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. My lips were quivering while I stared at him hopelessly, but he was standing at his feet and was determined.

"Just do everything to get rid of the child; I don't want a kid with you." I was already sitting on the floor when he said those words right in front of me. "Blair, that kid is just a result of a mistake; I love your enemy, Lethia, and not you. I'm just fooling you," he said, crossing his arm on his chest and smirking. "The bad thing is, you gave in, so you're in this situation." My lips are quivering, this is not the man that I love.

I was in love with him, really. I was one of the believers that love is such a powerful word and an amazing thing in this world. I am a dedicated woman, once I'm in love, I do everything for my boyfriend but little did I know he was just toying with me. But I can swallow my pride just for him.

“P-please,” I couldn't even recognize my voice.

"Raven!" Axl's voice thundered all around. I avoided Roux's gaze and darted to the jade-green eyes of his big brother, Axl Raven, who was still looking at me with his arched brow. "It's not appropriate to talk to a woman like that.” He reminded his younger brother, he was about to step forward and leaned for help but his father gave him a warning look.

I know that even he is against the love of his brother and me, so I don't understand why he did that. Even their father and mother stare at me sharply, but I have to fight for my son. This is not just my son but their grandchild.

"No! That's not true! You're just saying that to hurt me." I tipped my head from side to side; I wouldn't believe any of it. "You're just lying!" I held his knee, and like a panda that climbs to it, he leaned down his head, trying to make eye contact with me. "You love me, Roux." I tried to stick with him, but while looking at each other, he resisted.

His sapphire ocean eyes always find a way to wake up the softest part of my heart; he is the only one who can do this. Roux had been my boyfriend for five years; it was just a secret thing between us. His family was against our love story, but he fought for me, for us, that's why I don't understand why he is saying those words to me.

I know him, he loves me.

“You're in love with me, we planned everything yesterday.” I sum up, his expression remains blank.

“I was just toying on you, trying to seduce you and get what I want.” My body stiffened hearing that, how could he say such a thing?! "I am choosing Lethia over you." Suddenly, some men grabbed my arms and pushed me away from the man. I stiffened, but thought of the child in my womb. My vision became blurry, my gaze darted in Roux's direction, and I saw Lethia with her hands on Roux's arm.

"N-no." I wanted to speak, but a knot formed in my throat.

"Just do what I want." After stating that, the two of them turned around and left me. The two men let go of me, and I almost fell to the floor.

My eyes were burning with tears; how could he command me with that? My knees get wobbly like jelly and I can no longer move to follow Roux, and I told him to take back his words. I feel like I suddenly lost my strength because of what I witnessed. Just yesterday, we were full of joy in our words, faces, and emotions while planning for our upcoming civil wedding. But why did he tell me just a thing like this in front of his family?

I couldn't believe it. I shook my head. This is just a dream, a nightmare, no! Roux loves me; he would never do this!

But it transpired and perfectly ruined me.

I was frozen by where I was located. What should I do now? Roux is my only ace; he's the only one that I have, and my family would intensely despise me without even thinking. All the hopes and dreams that I am trying to save from the two of us together with the baby have faded. I can't believe that all of a sudden that thing disappeared. We promised together, but he also left me.

Why am I always unlucky in love? At first, it was that childhood friend of mine who went to Los Angeles and made a new life with his mother. He chose his family over the two of us, and I can't blame him either because I know how much he loves his mom. Second is my last boyfriend; we lasted for two years, but in the end, he also changed me into a man. I fell during those times; I was in a bar, then Roux comforted me, and eventually, I fell in love with him despite the gap between our families. It was forbidden. But they're all right; it's better when it's forbidden.

This was the worst of all break-ups that I had encountered, having a kid with me and wanting to get rid of this baby. He was evil. He deceived me.

While trying to get up to leave this place, I was stunned to see the blood in my place, and my hip hurt completely. No one was around, everyone left me without even realizing it.

"N-no, no!" This can't be happening; after screaming, I fainted, and a hand suddenly made a way to catch my head.

After I woke up, I asked my mother what happened and if my baby was fine. I was hoping for a positive word.

"The baby's gone, hija; your baby went back to God." Her smile turned upside down. My mouth fell down, this can't be true! Hearing that news made me stare at my mother blankly, “T-the baby’s n-not that strong…t-that’s why when you give in your force a while ago. The baby gave up when your baby couldn't take it.” She howled.

She held her stomach and shook her head constantly, "My baby, no! My baby's not gone; you're lying!" I kept on repeating the words while shrieking the whole area, my mind couldn't absorb them. "N-no," fresh tears poured out as I spotted Mom.

"H-hija," air punched out of my lungs as pain blasted in my chest. Why my baby? Why was my baby taken immediately? What did I do to receive this kind of punishment? I was kind, obedient, and did anything to serve the Lord, but why does he still do this to me?

My whole body was shaking as I wondered why all this had happened. If only they didn't do this to me, I have nothing to lose. But what did they do? This is all Roux and Lethia's fault, and I will never forgive them for what they did.

The Smith family would pay for the damage they did to me. Today, I promised myself and my unborn child. I'll make sure they regret what they did. I'd take revenge for my unborn child whatever it cost.

Especially to Cove Roux Smith.

"How's our princess? You're going home the next day, right?"

Hiro, my closest buddy, never failed to remind me about my comeback. He answered my FaceTime even though he was doing makeup, so I grinned at him on the screen. Leaning on the back of my chair, I contemplated the possible outcomes of my return home.

I planned everything in my mind; I was so sure that this would happen, and if not, I had my plan B. I always do. He noticed that I was thinking about something, so he looked at me with his brows knitted.

"What is it? Don't you want to continue the plan?" He seriously stared at my face. I bit my bottom lip.

"Of course not," I cursorily replied. No way; I never thought that I would not resume it. My decision was intact; I was going to make them pay! I remembered what they did to me before; I can't forget no matter how hard I try, and that's alright. I can't forget how Roux played with me.

Everything he did was just a fake. His words, his gestures—all of that was a lie.

"That's good," he snapped at me. "Remember who you lost, and please don't give in to that man because I know you, Cbiara Blair!" He widened his eyes, and my cheekbone lifted high.

Over the five years here in Chicago, no one else knew what happened except my family and the Smith family. I'm here without anyone knowing about my exact location. Hiro is the one I always talk to about news in New York; he is also my partner in the plans I form in my mind. Hiro has always been there to comfort me when he knew that I had lost my baby. He was the only one who had sympathy because even my family abandoned me.

That was the first time my mother had argued with Daddy, and she lost her life after suffering a heart attack. She was the one who had defended me. To make matters worse, Dad thought I was the one who killed my mother and burdened him, which is why I never completed my degree when they discovered I became pregnant. After what happened to my mother, he suffered a stroke, and he acts irrationally when he sees me. I don't have the face to go see him now that he's returned to Grandma's province. Admittedly, the man who conceived me was only 20 years old, and I was only 19. At that moment, I knew he would support me, but he took a different action. He made me the most foolish person in the world.

"I know what to do, Hiro."

"It's Herra!" he menacingly snarled at me, but I just laughed at him because he was only on the screen and he couldn't hit me in the head. "By any chance..." He pouted before diverting our conversation. "What are your plans if they don't accept your invitation?"

Placing my elbow on the wooden table, I folded my hands and rested my chin on the backs of them while maintaining a fixed gaze on him. He raised an eyebrow, awaiting my response.

"Well, Smith is such a powerful person. And you know that our people love them, so do you think they won't accept my invitation?"

"How sure are you that they will come?"

"Won't people wonder why they weren't at my birthday party when I am inviting them? I'm pretty sure, it will be a controversy to their family. You know how clean they are," I made a posture and tapped my long nails on the wooden table. "Come on, Hiro." His face turned sour calling him ‘Hiro’ but I didn't pay attention to that. "They don't want an enemy in our town, so I know they're going to attend and act like nothing happened."

He put his eyelashes in his eyes. Well, he is a makeup artist; that's why he knows everything about it. When I found out from Hiro about Roux and Lethia's situation, that's when I made the plan. Roux loves babies; unfortunately, after Lethia got pregnant and miscarried, she couldn't have another one. Of course, both of them will suffer, and I'll use Raven as my only ace this time. I know he is hard to seduce, but I'll make sure to get him and use him for any reason, and that will happen. I will stomp them to the ground one by one, especially Roux and Lethia. I will not let them just oppress me.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked me this time, "Aren't you going to back off?"

"Why would I?” I asked him back, and he tipped his head up and down. "They make my life hell, and I'll do it back to them," I smirk like a villain in the movie as I slowly think about the result of my revenge.

Time flies so fast that we don't know what will happen next. I can't remember how I got here, and now I will fly back to the town where I fell in love, was hurt, and was lost. I'm coming back, but I'm not Cbiara Blair Ashton, who will just agree to be trampled on by them. This time, I will rise, and I will show them who I am.

I got on the plane, and I fell asleep while waiting to get to my destination.

When I arrived, I enjoyed the scenic of New York, it was still picturesque. I called Hiro to pick me up here at the airport because we are going to buy what I will wear for my birthday. I shouldn't celebrate that, but that's part of my plan, so I have to do it.

My day will be made if I wear sunglasses, a white shirt, and a jeans skirt with slits. Since I'll just buy things here, I didn't carry a lot of goods. Since I own a residence in Chicago, I don't want to bring anything with me. If I need to, I can fly back.

I was looking for Hiro in the crowd when I noticed a pair of slack shoes since I was bending down in case someone saw me and came forward to introduce themselves. I looked up, and to my astonishment, it was Axl Raven. My heartbeat has accelerated. We kept our eyes locked on one another as I fixed my posture. It continued to be as though he could look at me angrily, but there was also longing and pleasure in his gaze.

Why is he here?

Maybe he was waiting for someone. I was about to leave when he suddenly touched my wrist, and electricity turned on when he touched me. I gaze at his way.

"You're back." I don't know why I hear something strange in his voice, or is it just my imagination? "Cbiara," you have to be tough Cbiara; he's a Smith!

"Mr. Smith, I have a lot of things to do. Please excuse me." I smiled as though we had been friends for a long time, even though I knew he could read my emotions. as I released my grip on the hands. My world stopped as he said the words I didn't think he would say.

"I'll help you with what you want, but be my queen." Bewilderment was evident on my face. "You'll just give me the satisfaction that I want, and I'll give you what you want to achieve." Indeed, he was a demeaning Smith.

This was not what I had in mind! What knowledge did he have? By satisfaction, what did he mean?

I looked up at him, and he looked back at me, his eyes speaking. Something shook in my head. How come he moves so quickly?
