Blame Yourself

"Never mind, I'm not offended in the slightest by your words. What you said is all true, but I did it all because of Daddy. I have a huge responsibility given to me by Daddy to take care of all of you," Arson said in response to Kylie's question, who again did not look at the girl.

Somehow hearing the answer from Arson made Kylie's heart ache. It turned out that her thoughts were right that Arson's attention was solely to protect her, nothing else as a brother.

Hold it Kyl, hold it. Can't cry here! Do you want Arson to know how you feel? If he knows, you can be sure he will stay away from you even more. He just behaves like this already makes you uncomfortable then, what if he completely disappears from your life and makes the brotherly relationship between you tenuous? Kylie said in her heart.

"Alright then. I'm going back to my room because I still have some work to do," said Kylie who was trying hard to keep her voice from changing and being heard by Arson.

The man just nodded his head to the girl who was still standing beside him.

"But remember, you can't forget to eat dinner because I don't want to see you get sick," Kylie said and then stepped away from Arson who was still not looking at her at all.

Arson wanted to stop Kylie from leaving, but he was still annoyed with the girl. Arson didn't want to do it plus the girl continued to pay attention to him making Arson afraid of loving Kylie even more.

Can you not give me attention like that, Kyl? I'm afraid if I love you more and more deeply it's hard to escape the shadow of the love I have for you, Arson said in his heart.

After realizing Kylie left his room, Arson turned his head and no longer found the girl then the man returned to staring straight ahead while sighing.

"Why am I acting like a child? I shouldn't have shown my frustration to Kylie. What if she suspects my anger?" Arson asked himself.

Another sigh escaped from the handsome man's mouth.

"Come on, Arson! Don't be like this! Kylie doesn't know if you love her. She only considers you a brother, nothing more than that so don't you ever show too much jealousy because it could destroy yourself in Kylie's hands," the man said again.

Arson also chose to lean his head while closing his eyes. Over and over again Arson always asked himself, why he didn't fall in love with other women he could have, while with Kylie he would never be able to have that woman. Regretting is also useless because no one can stop when love comes. If he could choose, then he would choose to find another woman to place his heart on. However, Kylie was the only woman who managed to make him smile. The woman who managed to make him excited when tired and downtrodden began to approach him.

Kylie threw herself on the bed and cried there. The girl kept blaming herself and couldn't control herself and let that love grow even more for Arson, a man she could never have.

"Should I bury these feelings deep and replace them with someone else?" asked Kylie as she continued to bury her face in the pillow.

"How can I just throw these feelings away? It's a matter of the heart, not something that can be thrown away at will. If it's going to hurt like this and I can choose, then I will never fall in love with Arson. I would have chosen any other man out there, but the heart can't choose by itself, it felt comfortable with Arson without me realizing it," Kylie said again, still in tears.

Kylie could be heard crying, even though her face was buried in the pillow. Had Kylie not closed the door to her room tightly, then the sound of her crying would have been heard by several bodyguards who were guarding the second floor of their mansion and would have immediately reported it to Drake and known by all residents of the luxurious mansion.

"Even if I let go of these feelings, I don't think I would love another man that quickly. The proof is that so far there has not been a single man who has succeeded in replacing Arson's position in my heart, even though I know several men who have tried to get close to me, but this heart does not melt and open with the attention and even proof they do,"

The girl continued to say without caring about the tears that continued to flow down her cheeks, even clearly drawn on the pillow she used to accommodate her face.

"Do I have to die to let these feelings go with me?" Kylie asked again.

It seemed that the girl did not realize the words that had just come out of her mouth.

"Mommy, once again I apologize for loving your first son, who is none other than my brother. Don't curse me from up there because I also can't do anything when this feeling suddenly comes over me!" Kylie said while raising her head as if seeing her mother's presence up there.

"It's not Arson's fault for always paying so much attention to me, but my ignorance for abusing the attention that Arson gave me. p

Even though Carly, Jevin, and Jeykey are also doing the same thing, there is no difference at all. Although Arson seemed excessive, but it was very natural considering he was the first son in the Adams family.

"I'm the stupid one Mommy! I'm the one who doesn't have any sense!" Kylie muttered to herself and continued to cry deeper and deeper.

Kylie buried her face in the pillow again and sobbed there, she didn't care if her eyes looked swollen tomorrow because she had prepared a lying answer to give to any of her family members who asked questions about what was happening to her to make her eyes like that.

"Sir, why did you agree to Miss Kylie's request to go back to her friend's house? Didn't Miss Kylie break the rules you gave her?" Juan asked the man sitting in his oversized chair.

Drake, who was leaning back so casually, smiled. "It's okay. Let Arson do what he wants to do to his other brother," Drake replied.

It turned out that the head of the mafia group was already aware of Kylie's mischief today, as the girl had come home late from Drake's appointed time. Arson didn't tell her father at all and tried to cover it up herself.

Drake has repeatedly said that he is very lucky to have Juan to rely on. The man knew what Kylie was doing there, even in the Leo family home, there was not only Chloe but also the second brother of Kylie's friend. Even Drake knows if Arson is upset with Kylie because of his favorite daughter's actions, that's why the man didn't come to dinner. But unfortunately, Drake doesn't know the real reason for Arson's jealousy, so what if he knew the truth? Would he still be able to smile like this because he is proud that his son and daughter protect each other or instead punish his proud son who is predicted to be his successor?

"Keep an eye on them if Kylie gets out of line, then I'll intervene!" Drake instructed his confidant.

"Yes, sir. You don't have to worry, I will still carry out orders very well," replied Drake's trusted assistant.

Drake nodded his head as he smiled at Juan. A proud smile that he gave to the man still standing beside him.

In a different place.

Another thing is being felt by a man. If Kylie and Arson were troubled by each other's hearts, making them misunderstood, it was different with Devian. A smile never ceases to appear on Chloe's brother's handsome face, especially when he imagines Kylie's beautiful face.

"Am I really in love with her? Isn't this too much? Didn't I just meet her for the first time earlier? How can love come so quickly?" asked Devian to himself as if he couldn't believe what he was feeling. It didn't make sense for love to suddenly grow in his heart.

Devian who was lying on the bed chose to sit down.

"But this is the first time I've felt my heart beating so fast, especially when I meet a woman's eyes. Even now, the image of Kylie's beautiful face is still vivid in my memory," said Devian again.

The man laughed again, even very wide with cheeks that he didn't realize had turned red like boiled shrimp. Devian also moved his body to the right and left. Amid his big smile, suddenly the door to the room opened and displayed Chloe's figure there making Devian immediately close and put a normal face towards his youngest sister.

"No need to cover up, I've seen it. What makes you happy to smile so wide like that?" Chloe asked while stepping closer to Devian.

"No, I'm not smiling. I think you saw it wrong. Are you not sleepy?" replied Devian who asked her sister back.

Chloe immediately made a mocking face at Devian.

"Looks like someone is in love. His heart is blooming," the girl said teasingly towards the man who was still sitting on the bed.

Chloe was now standing in front of her second brother.

Devian pretended to narrow his eyes to look at Chloe.

"Who's in love? You? With whom? I hope he's a good guy," Devian said to Chloe to change the subject, as if Chloe was the one who was in love as the girl said.

Chloe raised one side of her upper lip in response to Devian's remark, making the man sitting across from her laugh inwardly.

Devian continued to put on a casual face, not wanting Chloe to know that her heart seemed to have been knocked by Kylie's presence.

"Kylie is beautiful, Dev?" asked Chloe.

"Yes, even very beautiful," replied Devian while smiling sweetly with eyes that seemed to be looking somewhere.

Chloe chuckled at what her brother was doing.

"Falling in love is a million flavors, wanting to always see the sweet face of the idol," Chloe said mocking Devian and managed to make the man realize and immediately with an embarrassed face, but still tried to cover it in front of Chloe made the girl want to laugh out loud.
