Rora open the door revealing a sad Javier, a very sad Javier!
“Javier, what happened? Why is your face like this?” Rora asked, she mirrors his expression.
“It’s Ian?” He replies.
“Ian? What happened to you?”
“He’s dying!” He said.
Rora’s popcorn falls from her hand, she steps forward and grips Javier’s collar, she stares in his eyes.
“Y-you said what?”
“Ian is dying!”
“Dying? How? He was fine when he left here last night,,, what could have possibly happened?”
“I don’t,,,,, ”
“Don’t tell me he was sick,,, ” she gasp. “Oh no! Don’t tell me he’s sick, it,, it,, must be because of the rain from yesterday!”
I frown when I studied Javier’s expression, though he looked sad but it was genuine.
Maybe it’s a trick.
And I think he already succeeded in trucking her, Rora looked so panicked right now.
“Rora, calm down” I told her.
I hold her shoulder and try to pull her back, but she removes my hand and shakes her head.
“No, Britt, Dean is sick, I must see him right away!”
She turns back to Javier.
“Come, take me to him, it’s my fault, take me to him!” Then she rushes out towards Javier’s car.
I narrowed my eyes at Javier when she’s out of sight. He chuckles nervously and tries to step back.
But I caught hold of his hand and twist it.
“Ow! Ouch! It hurts!” He winces.
“What prank are you playing on my friend?!”
“It’s,, it’s not a prank, truly Ian is dying!”
“But you don’t seem to be genuinely sad”
“Ok, let go of my hand and I will tell you”
I eyed him for some time before I let go of his hand. He rub on the spot I gripped and blows it.
“Hey, start talking!”
“Ok, the thing is, my brother want Aurora to stay in our mansion with him,,,you know they’ve been separated for such a long time.
And my brother when stopped missing her everyday for the past years,,, seeing her again, he didn’t want to lose her for the second time,,,hence we pulled this trick to get her back to our mansion!” He explained.
“You could have asked her nicely” I told him.
“Well, I’ve come to understand Aurora a little,, she wouldn’t come with us willing”
I nod,, that’s true.
Aurora is a very stubborn girl, she wouldn’t go if not lied to and I guess she fell into this lame trick of theirs because she still loves Ian.
“Hey! You were a bit aggressive you know” Javier said.
“How?”
“I remember saving you last night,, is beating me up how you repay me? No thank you?” He asked.
I quickly face down as my cheeks flame up in embarrassment,,,, it’s true that he saved.
Had he not come in time, Eric could have succeeded.
He is my saviour and I should be grateful.
“Oh? What’s that? Are you feeling shy?” He asked.
My cheeks flame up more.
“I’m sorry for my actions just now,,,,thank you so much for saving me last night!” I said.
“Hmm? That’s all?”
“Yeah, thank you!”
“No! That’s not enough!”
I frown.
“What?”
“I won’t accept a simple thank you!”
“What then do you want?”
He puts his finger under his chin and draw his eyebrows together as he does a little thinking.
“How about you take me out for dinner”
“What?”
“Take me out for dinner, that’s the best way to show your gratitude”
Dinner,,, I’ve never had dinner with any guy, not even Eric.
He doesn’t take me out on dates,,and anytime I suggest going out with him, he never agrees.
Javier snaps his fingers across my eyes.
“Hey? What is miss Brittany thinking about?”
“I,,,,” I trail off.
How can I have dinner with someone that isn’t my boyfriend or business associate or even my,,,, friend.
“You,,,,what?” He asked.
He seems so eager waiting for my response.
“I can’t take you out for dinner!”
“Why?”
“Because you are not my boyfriend or business associate or friend,,,,we aren’t that acquainted”
“Well, there’s is always a place to start,,,,just see this dinner as a get to know you dinner!”
“But,,,,”
A car honking interupts me, we turn towards Javier’s car. It’s Rora pressing the hone.
“Javier! What are you waiting for!” She yells.
“Just give me two minutes” he turns back to me. “So, what did you say?”
I sigh.
Maybe I should say yes,, I need all the help I can to forget about Eric quickly.
“Ok, dinner is on me!”
He grins widely.
“Great! I will see how grateful you are tonight!” He said and wink at me before running towards his car.
I watch as he starts the engine and drives out of sight. I find myself grinning after he’s left,, but I don’t know why exactly I’m smiling.

“General! General!” Brandon called as he rushes into my room.
“What?! How many times will I tell you to stop running into my room like a new freed lion?!” I growled at him.
“I’m sorry, general!”
“Why did you rush in like that?”
“Master Javier is back!”
“What about Phoebe?”
“She is heading towards your room as we speak,, she’s on the second floor!”
I quickly throw the newspaper I was reading on the nightstand next to my bed.
I take off my shoes and run my fingers through my hair to make it look disheveled.
“Where’s the fake blood?!” I asked.
Brandon reaches for it and hands it to me. I open it and sip it, I thought it’d have a bland taste.
But surprisingly it has a sweet taste.
We hear rapid footsteps approaching my room, I shoved the fake blood back in Brandon’s hand and lied on my bed.
It’s showtime.

I sprang out of Javier’s car as soon as he parks in the garage, I rushed into the mansion and see Javier’s assistant in the living.
“Where is the General?!” I asked anxiously.
“In his room” he replies.
“Thanks” I said and rush towards the staircase.
I take the stairs two at a time, I would have gone for the elevator but that would waste a lot of my time.
Finally I arrived at Dean’s room, I pushed the door open and my eyes moved to Dean’s bed.
Brandon is trying to calm him down as he coughs hard, I notice him coughing out,,,, blood?
I rush to him and push Brandon out of my way, I sit on the bed and carry dean’s head on my lap.
“Oh my God! Dean, what happened? You were fine yesterday,,, how come you are seriously ill now?” I asked.
He smiles at me weakly.
“M-my Pho-ebe,,,,, ” cough out a little blood. “Y-you are,,,,” cough. “H-here!” He continues coughing more blood.
“Brandon, what happened here? There’s so much blood,,, get a doctor!!”
He clears his throat.
“Ma’am, you are a doctor” he said.
“I’m not,,,,,” I bite my tongue to stop myself from spilling the beans.
I’m not a real doctor,, how am I gonna diagnose what sickness is this.
“I don’t need a doctor!” Dean manage to say.
“Why won’t you need a doctor? You are coughing blood,, we need to know what is happening to you!”
He shakes his head and continue coughing,, this time the cough is stronger than before and more blood is coming from his mouth.
“Javier! Javier!!” I called.
Javier rushes in.
“Yeah?”
“Get a doctor,, your brother is in danger!”
“Aren’t you a doctor? You ought to know what is happening to him” he said.
I need an excuse,, then I remembered what Britt told me.
“Yes, I’m a doctor but doctors aren’t allowed to treat their relatives,,,, quick get a door!”
Dean reach out and wipe my cheek softly.
“Don’t cry” he said almost too quietly.
I didn’t even notice I was crying until he pointed it out.
“It’s,,, n-no use,,, getting a,,, doctor”
“What are you talking about?”
“I don’t have,,,, much time,,, ”
“Shut up, Dean!! You are not gonna die! Not under my watch! Someone get a doctor!!”
He smiles weakly.
“It’s no use,,, this is an old sickness,,,, I will die any minute,,, I only have one wish,,, my last wish,,,, ” he starts coughing.
“Shh, save your strength, don’t speak,,, don’t talk about last wishes, I will take you to a hospital and you will be fine”
“My Phoebe,,, I only wish you could stay in this mansion with me,,,, I really missed you and,,, ” cough, cough, cough. “And I really wanted you to stay here with,,,, with,,, with,,, m-me,,, I feel so sle-epy ”
Then it’s silence,,, no words came out of his mouth. His hand on my cheek drops and his breath seized.
My heart began to beat fast, feeling like it should rip off my chest. I shake him gently.
“Dean! Dean! Dean, don’t fall asleep!”

|| Javier ||
Honestly, I didn’t know my brother could be such a drama king!
The way his body stilled almost fool me too, he look just like a dead man.
“Dean, no! You can’t fall asleep yet, wake up!” Aurora cry.
I shake my head, if only she knew Ian is tricking her.
“Dean, quit scaring me, open your eyes” she shake him but my oh so good brother didn’t wake up.
“Oh my God! This can’t be happening,,, you can’t die yet, you said you wanna marry me, right?” She looks at Ian for his reply but nothing.
“If you wanna be with me then open your eyes,,, you don’t look good with your eyes closed,, open your eyes!”
Brandon and I exchange looks and we smirk.
I guess it’s working.

|| Ian/Dean ||
I hear Phoebe crying as she shakes my body, she sounds so worried and I hate it.
I hate to see her sad but she haven’t said what I want to hear,,, I want to hear her say she will stay here with me.
I want to hear her say she will always be by my side, I have lost her once and I don’t want to lose her again.
If she says yes I can even marry her today,,,, ok, I guess that’s too forward of me.
“Dean, please wake up! Wake up and stop scaring me!” She hits my chest very hard and I fist my hands to stop myself from groaning or making any sound at all.
“Aurora,,, before my brother died, he had one wish, why don’t you think about it” I hear Javier said.
“One wish? What is that?”
“I don’t know, you think about it!”
“Wish,,, one wish” she murmurs.
Soon she gasped loudly.
“I remember,,, Dean, you want me to stay? I will stay, I will stay but please open your eyes,,, I will stay”
I almost smile, but I need more assurance.
“Aurora, he’s dead already, just promise him, make his soul believe you mean your words” Javier told her.
“He is not dead,,, don’t curse him!” She snarled at him.
“Dean, I swear on my life, I’m gonna stay here, I’m really gonna stay but you have to wake up, I can’t stay here alone”
“Are you sure you wanna stay here?” Javier asked.
“Yes, I mean it, I mean every word!”
I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I quickly sit up and grab her in a tight hug.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I said.
She freeze for a moment before she pushes me off.
She stands up and narrow her eyes at me.
“What just happened?!”
“General tricked you into agreeing to stay!” Brandon said, I throw him a harsh glare.
“Brandon!!”
“Sorry, sir” he bows his head.
“Go outside and kneel under the sun until I get tired”
“Thank you, sir!” He leaves.
Phoebe glares at me, she turns her gaze to Javier but Javier was very fast, he opens the door and dash out.
Now it’s just me and Phoebe.
She look around and sees the packet of fake blood, she picks it up and perceive it.
“What is this?!”
I gulp nervously.
“I’m asking you a question!”
I cleared my throat.
“It’s fake blood”
“Fake blood! You fooled me, you played with my emotions!”
“My Phoebe listen,,,,”
“Listen to what? How you gang up with your brother to fool me?”
“I only did it because I thought it’s the only way to make you stay”
“Shut up!” She growled and I nod quickly.
She held my chin and raised my head up, she look in my eyes.
“You deceived me and when Brandon told me the truth you punish him,,,, what about you? What punishment do you think you deserve for lying to me?”
I remain quiet,,, I honestly didn’t see this coming. Please God or whoever is supreme, shouldn’t let her leave.
“Since you want me to stay, I will stay because I still have to find my parents murderer but I will have to punish you for lying to me”
I smile, she is staying,,, that’s good.
“What’s my punishment?”
She smirk,, I don’t think it’s gonna be anything good.
“Go outside and kneel under the sun until I get tired!” She said.
My eyes grow wide.
“T-that is the punishment I gave Brandon!”
“I know,,, now I’m giving you the same punishment!”
“My Phoebe, I,,, ”
“you what? You don’t want to do it? Well, I can just leave!”
“Fine! I will do it”
“Good! I’m gonna go get some sleep, I didn’t get enough sleep last night because Britt came home drunk,,,, I want to see you kneeling when I wake up!”
“Yes, my Phoebe”
“Say yes, ma’am!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
“Good!”
She stomps out with a smirk.
I sigh in relief,, at least she’s staying.
I got up and head outside, I see Brandon kneeling under the sun and smirk, but it wiped off when I remember why I, myself wad outside.
I walked towards him and kneel next to him.
“G-general, what are you doing?!” He asked.
“Serving punishment!”
“W-what?! Who dared to punish you?!”
I scoff,,, yeah, who dares to punish me if not her.
“Phoebe punished me!”
“Oh!” He doesn’t say more but I can hear him laughing silently.
I don’t blame him though,,, I, Ian Dean Morgan,,a General and the most feared man in New York City,, is being punished by a shorty girl.
Is this what love turns people into? Fools?
Well, I don’t mind being a fool to her forever!!
