Chapter 255 255: Part 1: The Reunion III

Tehilla's thoughts were running at a mile a minute, nothing made sense. Was Cole being played from the beginning , was she being played from the beginning, or was there something deeper happening that the rest of them could not see. Kaito was another player on the board and with the reveal that had come forth, a rather dangerous one too. But more than that was the fact that Kaito was like Cole and not unlike Tehilla. He was an aspirant, and one that had access to his power and race in the real world now….Kaito was a fairy.

He was looking different from the norm, but the bright wings behind him, the almost unnatural beauty, purple hair, fangs, and that smile of mischief she always remembered him having on his face. There was another player on the board, or was there even a board in the first place and they had not just been dancing to the tune of someone else. She was stumped, for the first time since becoming a Raen, since truly and fully becoming Cole's woman, she was unsure of herself, she was unsure for Cole. Involuntarily even without knowing she was doing it, she took a step forward and stood in front of Cole, glaring at his brother and grandparents like they were devil's incarnate.

"What are you doing Tehilla, move out of the way, I want to look my brother in the eye….. it has been a few years since we've seen each other after all." Cole stretched out his hand and grabbed Tehilla by the hand, then he dragged her backwards until she was sitting on his lap much to the surprise of everyone around, Tehilla included then he leaned back rested his head on his closed fist, an amused smile now all over his face.

"Well now you can see my face, how has the afterlife been treating you?" Cole asked, only for his brother to furrow his eyebrows in annoyance, guess it was a trait they all shared.

"I'm not in the mood, don't act like you're the victim and that we've all just decided to fuck with your life. You started this! I was happy…. Of course being with Sarah meant that the family would never accept her, so our relationship was a secret….well as secret as I thought it could possibly be. See unlike you I was smart, I knew I didn't have the power to oppose them, at least not yet, so it would be best to follow their plans and still find ways to be happy.

But you see Sarah's a greedy little fuck, since she couldn't get into a prestigious family though the elder brother, she thought perhaps it would work better with the younger brother. Her love for me was vastly outweighed by her love and need for power and prestige. But it turns out that while you have what I didn't, the balls to stand up for the woman you loved, even if she's a total skank, you lacked the other thing that drew her to me in the first place….. maturity and ambition.

But she did a number on you, I was back to fucking her a month after you left the house. In the end you lost everything and gained everything that was once yours, including your cripple. But seeing as she's up and walking I'd say being an aspirant has done wonders for her, she's even the same race as you are. How the hell she was able to hide that while under Grandmother's nose is something I can never figure out, but that's enough to tell me she's not the kind of woman to be trifled with so do be careful baby brother."

"What do you want?" Cole asked, cutting straight to the chase. He pretty much already has an idea of everything that has happened and frankly speaking, one person's greed and another's stupidity had fucked his life up, the stupidity of course belongs solely to him, three years of his life wasted, it was aggravating.

"Are you not going to even ask me how I'm alive?" Kaito asked, but Cole shook his head as he replied.

"I get the feeling I'll be finding out soon, and even if I don't, I can hear it directly from your lips once I'm back on earth and coming for my pound of flesh. So state your business brother, I don't have all day." Kaito smiled, but it was fake, sleazy…..he was different. He too had been changed and perhaps it was not the event, but everything that had transpired from the very day he found out Cole was fucking the woman he loved, to the point he got revenge and started sleeping with his brother's own fiancée. These things change you…..these things break you.

"About that, the whole pound of flesh thing, the family is willing to offer remuneration, heck our aunt will apologize to you too. But the family has been suffering since you left, you also took Dad and Mom with you, and they're very important parts of the family not to mention our brother's wife and kids. What do you think was going to happen to them, that they'll be killed, they're the future of this family, it will belong to them one day no one would lay a hand on their heads ever…..not unless they want to die and a painful death at that. And I hope for your sake baby brother that they're safe, if not there's nothing in the universe that will stop me from tearing you limb from limb and scattering your remains to the cosmos." Tehilla rolled her eyes, as if she needed any more proof that they were brothers.

"We need you to return, you're the person with the highest chance of not just surviving the coming upheaval, but also thriving. We need access to your resources to be able to build something of our own too. Of course it will not be for free, we won't ask you to rescind your decision of leaving the family for good, bit we would like an alliance, for the sake of the future, out Nephew and niece and my own unborn child, we need to build the family back up for all our sales, we're stronger together than apart. We won't take much of your time, but just think about it and get back to us. With that said the call suddenly came to an end, leaving Cole and Tehilla who was still on his lap in silence.

"He's lying." Tehilla said to him as Cole narrowed his eyes and replied.

"I know!" and how did they know... they could smell it!
