"Huh? I hate them. I hate everyone." Alexis said as she sat on the couch.

"Why, Alexi? They seem good people." Noah said and Alexi looked at him angrily.

​​

"What? You talking this even after knowing about Sam?" Alex asked.

"Come on, Alexi. Johnson is a good guy..." Alexi cut off Andrew in mid-sentence.

"And you both believe it too?" Alexi asked.

"Alexi, look. We will not let him come near Sam if he isn't good." Andrew said.

"I really don't understand you guys. How can that man be perfect? And how can we easily trust him? We just got to know him a few days back and now he bought the proposal to home in just knowing Sam a few days back and now the wedding is in 3 months." Alexi said annoyingly.

"Alexi, relax. Sam also agreed to marry Johnson. Why don't you think, maybe Sam likes Johnson? If she don't trust him, why will she marry..." Alexi cut off Andrew in mid-sentence.

"Stop it, Andrew. How can you think like that? Sam is marrying Johnson because of our..." Alexi cut off in mid-sentence as she looked at Martin.

Andrew and Noah looked at where Alexi is seeing and saw Martin.

"Shit." Noah cursed.

Andrew looked at Noah and eyed him and they both walked away.

"Hey, where are you going?" Alexi asked but they both just walked away.

"Uff! These guys." Alexi said and saw Martin coming towards her.

Martin stood in front of Alexi and looked at her sternly.

"What?" Alexi asked but Martin just kept looking at Alexi.

Alexi rolled her eyes and tried to walk away from him but Martin grabbed her arm and she looked up at him in eyes and raised her eyebrows. Martin moved her by her arm and surrounded his arms around her waist and bought her close to his chest.

"What the hell are you doing right now?" Alexi asked with her wide eyes.

"Why can't you trust us, Alexi?" Martin asked as he looked into her eyes.

"What?" Alexi asked.

"Why can't you just trust us, Alexi?" Martin asked and Alexi chuckled and tried to release herself from him but Martin grabbed so tight.

"Leave me." Alexi said looking into Martin eyes.

"Sure, but answer me first." Martin said looking deep into her eyes.

"Why should I?" Alexi asked looking back into his eyes with confidence.

"Because, I..." Martin cut off in a mid-sentence as he realized what he was going to say!

"You what?" Alexi asked.

"Nothing. Just tell me, why you hate my brother?" Martin asked.

"Look, Martin. I don't have to answer you. It's the problem between me and your brother. So, don't interfere." Alexi said.

"Then, why in the hell are you interfering between my brother and your sister?" Martin asked angrily and Alexi sighed.

"Look, I am really trying so hard to control myself. I promised my sister, I will not be rude to you guys. So, leave me now." Alexi said.

"No, I will not. I will not leave you until I got my answer." Martin replied.

"Just leave me." Alexi shouted angrily at Martin as she released herself from him.

"Look, I don't care if you heard us talking or not? And I even don't care who are you too? Because I just care about my sister and her happiness. That's all matters to me and for that, I will and I can go to any extent in this world just to keep her happy. Did you get this? I guess you did." Alexi said angrily.

"Okay, Fine. If you can go to any extent just to keep your sister happy by stopping this wedding then I can go to any extent too just to keep my brother happy." Martin replied back.

"What do you mean?" Alexi asked.

"I mean, I will make sure, this wedding happens at any cost." Martin replied back with a smug on his face.

"What? Are you crazy?" Alexi asked and Martin chuckled.

"No, not at all. If you can go to any extent to stop this wedding then I can go to any extent too to make this wedding happen too." Martin said and Alexi eyes widened.

"Your sister's happiness is important to you and for me, my brother's happiness is important to me... I wouldn't have to do this if your sister wouldn't agree to marry my brother. But, she did. She accepted to marry my Brother. I don't know, why you don't want to trust us? Maybe, this is related to your past? I don't know. But, listen carefully Alexi. My brother came into your sister's life and they are going to marry soon. Maybe, we should live this for both of them. They will make things right between them without our..." Martin got cut off by Alexi in mid-sentence.

"Why are you brothers hell adamant to make my sister suffer again?" Alexi asked with tears in her eyes but she didn't dare to fall them down. Martin saw the tears and his heart clenched but he don't want to fall for her tears when he wants to make his brother's life beautiful.

"Look, trust my brother. He will look after your sister..." Alexi cut off Martin in mid-sentence as she showed him her hand to stop him.

"I hate your brother and now. I hate you too!" Alexi said and Martin eyes widened.

"What?" Martin asked.

"I hate you. You heard me, right! I hate you too." Alexi said and walked away from Martin.

"Alexi." Martin called but until then, Alexi already disappeared from his eyes.

"Shit... Did I messed up our good relationship?" Martin asked himself.

"Well, you did!" Someone said and Martin turned back and saw Johnson.

"Bro." Martin said.

"Why do you have to talk to her like that?" Johnson asked.

"From, where did you come?" Martin asked.

"There kitchen has a backdoor to the backyard." Johnson said and Martin raised his eyebrows looking at the tomatoes in his hands.

"Oh, these. Well, your sister-in-law wanted me to get some tomatoes from their backyard. So, I came here and heard you talking with Alexi." Johnson said and Martin sighed.

"Look, Martin. I know, you are worried about me but please don't do this again. You love her and I don't want your good relationship to spoil because of me." Johnson replied.

"But, bro..." Johnson cut off Martin in mid-sentence.

"No, Martin. If you fight with her because of me then it will affect your relationship with her. I will try my best to make Alexi trust me with her sister because it is my responsibility to make her trust me not you. I am going to marry her sister and I will try my best to make both sisters trust me." Johnson said and Martin looked at him.

"Bro, I don't want anyone to come between you and my sister in law." Martin said and Johnson chuckled.

"Look, Martin. Alexi is not a villain in our story. Who wants to break this wedding! But, She is just worried about her sister. Her sister's happiness. If she got to know that her sister is happy with me then she will be happy too and accept me too." Johnson said.

"Then, how will you make her trust you with her sister?" Martin asked.

"That's what, I am trying to figure out you idiot! Uff! When will you grow up?" Johnson asked and Martin rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to the kitchen now, Samantha wants tomatoes." Johnson said and Martin smiled.

"Wow, bro! You don't even like to go to the kitchen before but I guess, from now on you will spend your whole day in the kitchen?" Martin asked and Johnson growled.

"Shut up. I am just helping her." Johnson said.

"Yeah, just don't stop at helping. Do some romance too." Martin said with a naughty smile.

"You... She is off-limits." Johnson said.

"Ohh, then try to change her." Martin said.

"Maybe soon." Johnson said winking with a smile and Martin smiled.

"Now, go. My SIL is waiting for you in the kitchen." Martin said and Johnson rolled his eyes and walked away and Martin smiled and sat on the couch.

How should I try to change her?

What's killing her?

Is this something related to their past?

What is the past?

All these questions making Martin scare. What if Martin talked about something unknowingly which hurts her?

Every question which is popping up in his mind is making him question himself.

He wants to know everything about both sisters. The mysterious puzzle is so hard to figure it out. Seeing Alexi tears he just wants to hug and keep her safe in his arms. He wants to take out all her worries away from her and make her trust him. But, that's not easy for Martin. Alexi is so hard to crack. And when Alexi said. She hates him. It's like, his heartbreaking into pieces. On one side, his brother and on the other side, the love of his life. He just wants good for both people, who are so important to him in this life. He just prays that he shouldn't get to choose between two beautiful souls whom he loves so much in the whole world that is his brother and the love of his life?
