THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER BROTHER

I quickly got out of bed when Vegard walked into the room. I didn't understand what the man wanted to do by being in my room with Vernon.

"It seems you don't recognize me either." Vegard said as he stood before me.

I didn't understand her words at all because I felt like I had never met her.

Unexpectedly, Vegard hugged me but I immediately pushed his body. I can't let him do that to me.

"I'm glad to see you again." Vegard said with a smile.

"Come out, I don't think there's anything we can talk about." My speech.

"But there's so much we can do." Vegard replied, His words confused me. "For example, making love?"

I snorted angrily looking at Vegard. His nature is very blunt without further ado. How dare he speak like that to his brother's wife.

"Did you know? You're supposed to marry me, not Vernon." Vegard smiled at his smile. "It seems like no one ever told you."

There's nothing I can understand from all of Vegard's words. I know he's just joking or just teasing me. He wasn't really serious about everything he said. From the way of speaking it is very visible if Vegard is the type who originally spoke without thinking first.

"It turns out you're taking my words seriously, aren't you?" Suddenly Vegard laughed. "Come on, just relax. We can be friends now. I'm gonna be here a long time, so we can be friends. How's it?"

"No problem." My answer.

Vegard daubed the smile on his face by blinking one eye before walking out of the room.

I threw my body back onto the bed, breathing. I don't want to add my mind to all of Vegard's original words and choose to sleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night when someone came into my room and turned on the light I had turned off. I was surprised to see the presence of Vernon who looked drunk.

Though before leaving he said he would not go home but at two o'clock in the evening he came back and was drunk.

I just stared at his presence without getting out of bed. Vernon drank a glass of water that was in the bupet next to the bathroom door after which staggered towards me.

"Viv, do you know what happened back then?" Racau Vernon who was sitting on the side of the bed looked at me.

At this moment in Vernon's forehead was a wound that was spitting out a little blood. I don't know what happened to him and how he got the wound. I just kept staring at Vernon who was so drunk right now.

"It seems you don't remember." Vernon held my face with both hands.

"You're so drunk. Wash your face first." I answered holding Vernon's hands in my face to let him go.

But Vernon pulled me over and kissed me. I can feel the vodka from her lips. With great difficulty I tried to stop her from kissing me by pushing her body. Vernon let me off with a laugh.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your forehead hurt? Wash your face with cold water first and rest. I don't want to respond to your rant, I just want to go back to sleep."

"Shut up!!" Vernon held my face with his right hand. Pressing both of my cheeks violently.

But again Vernon kissed me. This time he kept me from stopping him by grabbing me.

"Stop Vern, you're drunk." I said as Vernon began to kiss my neck, but the man would not listen to me. "I said stop it!!"

Vernon immediately stripped me of my clothes by giving me a sign of love all over my body. I just kept letting myself do it to me again.

...****************...

I open my eyes in the morning. Vernon was still asleep next to me. We still haven't gotten dressed after a few hours ago we fell asleep after getting tired of making love.

It's only six in the morning. Immediately I went into the bathroom to take a shower because today I intend to go to my house.

With a light step I went down the stairs with the expensive handbag I bought in Paris last month. Remembering when I bought it made me long for my freedom.

"It's too early to go shopping." Vegard's voice came from behind me as I opened the door. "Where are you going early this morning?"

"Do I have to answer?" I asked in annoyance at the presence of the man who stopped my steps.

"Not really. Yes, please you can go wherever you want." Vegard replied with a smile that made me dislike. "Oh yeah, I heard that your relationship with Alec is pretty close. Don't you like each other?"

I was stunned to hear Vegard's question. From the way he asked I wasn't too sure if it was a question out of curiosity or out of suspicion for me and Alec.

"We like each other." Suddenly Alec came down from the stairs. "But our relationship is just friends. Veg, let Viv go, I know you don't like me but don't look for my own family. Viv is your sister's wife, don't make her uncomfortable."

Vegard laughed at the words of Alec who was already standing near us. I understood that Vegard asked this question in order to keep Alec and Olivia from getting married, because the man did not approve of the marriage. I don't know why I wanted to support Vegard in this matter. But that's impossible for me to do.

But seeing Alec this early here makes me conclude that he spent the night with Olivia. Knowing it makes me not want to think about it anymore.

"You're wrong, Alec. I'm just trying to get Viv and Vern to split up." Vegard replied with his trademark smile. "Yes, I'm trying to keep that stranger from having a better life than me." After saying that Vegard walked away leaving me and Alec.

Vegard's words made me not understand. Who did he call a stranger? Vernon's? Are they not brothers?

"Viv, where are you going? I'm going home, do you want me to drive you?" Ask Alec.

"I want to go home." My answer.

"Well, I'll drive you, I happen to want to see Art." Alec.

I agreed and went with Alec, hitchhiking in his car to go to my house which is not my home anymore.

Vegard's words made me curious at this moment. What did he mean by a stranger? Who is this stranger?"

"Alec, what did Vegard say? He said a stranger. Who did he mean the stranger?" I asked to look at Alec who was driving.

"I don't know if I can tell you or not. But when you know, you have to act like you don't know it yet. You got it, Viv?"

I nodded in response to Alec's words.

"Actually it was Vernon. Vernon was the only adopted son of the Skjoldbjarg family. He's only been adopted since he was a baby."

Hearing Alec's reply I immediately froze because of the news I got so much I didn't think.
