Forced by My Brother

EPISODE 11

She swallowed her fear nonetheless and asked, "How did you get in?"

"You left your windows open." He replied plainly, walking towards her. Sabina could only grip her blankets and cover her body from his prying eyes. She was only wearing a white cotton lingerie and nothing else. She doesn't even have underwear! Her bag where she stuffed all her underwear was left at her Grandpa's mansion, she had to wash her one and only underwear and hang it dry in her bathroom so she would have something to wear tomorrow in the morning for her job interview.

"Kale, you can't be here." She told him, to stop him from joining her bed.

"You think I don't know that? You locked the main door to keep me out." He snorted.

Kale couldn't let the morning come without discovering Sabina's reasons for her rebellious attitude, he was used to her sorry and submissive behavior around him and the Sabina he heard over the phone tonight was making him crazy. He felt irritated and challenged at the same time, he wanted to tame her tonight.

"Was Althea not enough for you tonight?" Sabina glared at him for the first time. It surprised him, but what caught his ear was the hint of jealousy in her tone.

'So that was the reason.' He thought.

"Jealous?" He smirked.

Sabina felt her heart bleed with Kale's carefree reply. Her eyes burned as tears threatened to spill out, she blinked them away repeatedly but the pain was too much for her to hide... tears flowed without her consent.

Kale, who saw these tears, made him feel happy. He finally confirmed that Sabina was indeed in love with him. For a whole year of sleeping with her, he couldn't confirm it before because her schemes and pity acts to gain favor and sympathy from his Grandfather made him think that she might be faking her attention seeking affection for him but now that he saw her jealous and heartbroken state, his angry mood slowly got better.

"Let's stop this, Kale." She wiped her tears and looked away. "I know you and I can't be together, I'm just..."

"My sister?" Kale added the words for her.

Sabina glanced back at him, surprised that he called her his sister. This was the first time he said that. "Yes." She replied, feeling more hurt than ever. She didn't want to be his sister, she wanted to be his... wife?

'What was I thinking? I would never be his wife, he will never be mine. Everyone will call our relationship incestuous, immoral and indecent! How could I still hope for us to be together some day? It's impossible...'Sabina cried silently, Kale had already seen her tears and she didn't want to hear her sobs and thought that she was trying to gain his pity. She doesn't want him to love her out of pity. That's not the kind of love she wanted for them to share.

"Please leave me alone." Sabina forced herself to say something but that only fueled more tears. She hugged her knees and hid her wet face, she felt like trash after Kale didn't even bother to explain why he was with Althea or what the real deal was between him and his ex-girlfriend.

The first and last time she asked about Althea, he said that things in his relationship with the model were too complicated and that he has no intention of maintaining the seriousness or the commitment that he used to have with Althea. It was enough for Sabina to believe him and give herself to him.

"How much do you love me, Sabina?" Kale asked, curious if he could measure Sabina's feelings for him. He wanted to know how strong her love was for him.

Sabina glanced up and looked at Kale with her eyes full of tears, angry that he had to ask. Were her tears not enough as an answer? Is this heartbreak not enough?

"I love you with all my heart, Kale!" She confessed. "But I was just a rebound for you, right? She broke your heart and you just needed me as comfort every night so you wouldn't have to think about her? Well, she's back. You don't need me anymore." She wanted to stop herself from speaking but her heart was too broken to keep those words buried in silence. She needed to say something! This might be the last time she could talk to him and express her feelings.

Kale was very satisfied with her answer. In fact, he enjoyed every second that she poured her little heart out. "If you love me that much then stop being my sister."

He doesn't want her to be his sister. The first time he saw her, he found her so attractive that he hated it when his Grandfather legally adopted her as a member of their family, and not just a member but as his one and only sister!

"But Grandpa..." Sabina couldn't add more words, she thought of the man that loved her like a real family. She would never break that old man's heart! She can't be cruel and selfish! "I don't want to hurt his feelings.."

"I'm sure you can wrap him up around your fingers like you did all the time." Kale smirked, wondering what Sabina was currently thinking about.

Sabina felt offended by his words but she remained silent, she knew her Aunt Lucille thinks that way about her too and she's only allowed to call Kale's parents as mom and dad when Kale's grandpa is around. So she was not surprised that Kale thinks the same way about her, especially when her wishes are always granted and her opinions are always praised but she thought that maybe Kale only hated her as a sister because he had always expressed that he hated their sibling relationship. He was always clear that he doesn't see her as a sister, every night he'd remind her that.

Now that Kale suggested that idea to her, she was now sure that she was right. Kale doesn't hate her. He loves her too.

"I'll...try." She said, feeling a bit better that Kale clarified some things about their relationship.

Kale's smirk stretched wider and kissed her hungrily, his hand expertly moved under her covers and his arousal grew more hot when he found out she wasn't wearing any underwear.

"No undies? Were you waiting for me?"
