Chapter 26
“Don’t tell me that Catherine!” Morgan barked.
They were in their room, set to sleep when Catherine brought up Ethan’s matter. She had overhead him planning for Ethan again!
“Morgan it’s high time you let go of Ethan please! He’s your brother for Christ’s sake!” Catherine half yelled.
“I won’t! and he’s not my brother! My brother died long time ago!” Ethan said.
“Why? He didn’t offend you in any way and the last time I checked, you offended him instead. You took his wife! Because you envy him! Damn Morgan, Ethan is your elder brother. Whatever happened between you two that made you despise him this much, is something you should get over with!” Catherine said.
“Just shut up Catherine, it’s not like you’ve let go of him. you still have feelings for him and me hating me got nothing to do with you!” Morgan said angrily, getting up from the bed.
“Ethan was my husband for years and i loved him, he was so good to me” Catherine said. “If he was so good to you, you wouldn’t have come to me”
“I.. i wasn’t thinking straight then” Catherine defended.
“You think i don’t know you still love Ethan, you only came to me for my money!” Morgan said, pouring himself some wine .
“And you think i don’t know you married me just to hurt your brother, Ethan what the hell did he do to you? I can still remember the bad things you made me do just to hurt him. I stole his most cherished treasure for you” Catherine said, feeling so bad.
“I compensated you for everything you did! It’s not like you did those things for nothing. You collected millions of dollars Catherine.!
“Well… i did, i needed to boost my business” Catheri e claimed.
“It’s fair, we did business and i paid you okay? Don’t talk like you did it cause you loved me, i know you don’t love me, you love my money more” Morgan said.
“If it was for money, i would have stuck to Ethan, he’s richer than you and you know it but he just act too cool, he act almost like a poor person, i needed someone who shows off his wealth, i needed that for my business.” Catherine said.
“That’s it! And you’re still asking me why i hate him so much?” Morgan said, gritting his teeth. “Morgan! You hate your brother, Ethan just cause he’s richer?”
“He’s not only richer, almost everyone prefers him to me! It’s just so annoying” Morgan said gulping the whole of the wine in the glass cup.
Catherine sighed. “Morgan, Ethan is just someone who carries a special grace, people just love his personality. ”
“And what’s wrong with my own personality? He’s a philanthropist and I’m one too, i try to do everything he does yet he receives more love! if not for that foolish Carrle do you think he will be better than me?
“Morgan you won’t always get everything you want. You should be glad you are wealthy enough. People don’t have to like you” Catherine said.
“He’s always getting the award for the richest man in California every year and I’ve never gotten any. He’s just too proud that he can’t even support me as his brother” Morgan said tightening his grip on the glass cup.
“That’s because he’s richer than you. Just accept that and move on. Stop hurting him please. It’s enough” Catherine said.
“You will want to hurt him more if you were in my shoes”
“No! I’d rather step up my game. Work harder and try to bring the award i so much cherish home” Catherine said.
“Are you saying that to mock me? You know there’s no how i try to work hard that I’d be richer than Ethan. He’s a Billionare! And I think there’s something huge in amount that belongs to our parent that he didn’t give me. How much I hated him!” Morgan said and Catherine nodded, knowing that was almost true.
Ethan’s wealth are too much for him to get all by himself. Despite giving Morgan all their father’s property, He’s still richer.
“Can you please release your hold on that poor glass cup” Catherine said knowing the cup might break any moment from now.
His grip is too tight on it.
Morgan slowly released his grip, he dropped it on the table and faced Catherine
“You still love Ethan right?” He asked Catherine who folded in her lips and stared at him. “Be sincere” Morgan urged.
“Maybe” Catherine answered.
“And you still want him back?” Morgan asked. “Maybe” Catherine said but her heart screamed “yes!”
“I know your maybe means Yes Catherine, You still want Ethan back and i can help you get him back”Morgan said.
“Really?”
“Yes but we will need to work together” “I’m ready” Catherine said.
“According to Javad’s feedback, seems Ethan is starting to like the new nanny” Morgan said. “What!” Catherine panicked.
“Yes, the first night she resumed, she spent hours with Ethan in his library” “Really?” Catherine sat up on the bed.
“Yeah, he even made her dine in his personal dining room” “What the fuck!” Catherine cursed.
She knew damn well that Ethan doesn’t allow any worker in his dining room except if he really likes the damn person!
Is the nanny more beautiful than she is?
“What’s your plan?” Catherine asked.
“If he get to like her more, then you will stand no chance anymore, so what we’re gonna do is to stop that from happening”Morgan said.
“How?” Catherine asked anxiously and Morgan smiled inwardly.
