Chapter 127 Branded

"So it's more like you need him more than he needs you, kind of thing?" Caleb asks. "Yeah, something like that but overall we're a great help to each other and I really like working with him." "So you guys just finished another one of your projects?" Caleb asks sipping his coffee.

"Yep, another satisfied client and we have four more lined up. We'll be leaving for Europe in four days to start on one, this will be a big one though so we'll have to bring our A-game." "So do you always stay with him when you guys are in Jamaica?" Caleb asks. "Well no, a man needs his space, only when we're working on a project or a dance routine, speaking of which do you want to work on the dance routines that we'll be doing at Fabian's engagement party?"

"Couldn't hurt, but hold up, my cuz makes a killing on these projects right?" "Right, we both do." "Mmhmm, you're not swindling money from my cuz, are you?" Caleb asks in a serious tone. "No, I'm not and I'm very offended that you could even think such a thing. Christian means a lot to me, I respect him and trust him enough to let him handle all our finances." Jered said in a defensive tone.

"Being with Christian isn't about how much money I can make. He's very good at what he does and I can and have learned a lot from him. Now do you want to practice the damn dance or not." Jered asks walking towards the living room. "Alright but if you disrespect or take advantage of my cuz in any way you'll have me to deal with, got that?" "Loud and clear." Jered grumbles.

Ty sighs heavily as he enters his hotel room, he wanted to fly home this weekend for Faith's birthday but now he didn't even think he would be able to do that because he had a session on that day. He has been away for over two weeks now and he was seriously missing his wife and kids and what's worst he kept missing her calls today because just like him she too had a busy day.

All he wanted to do now was take a shower, curl up in bed and talk to his wife. His phone rings and he grabs it thinking it was her then groans when he saw it was Martin. He and Martin used to be as close as brothers but that was before Martin believed Kayla's lies about the fact that he Ty was the one who gave her money to abort the child she was carrying at the time because he found out the child wasn't his. As if he could ever in his life do such a thing.

But what Ty didn't know at the time was that Martin believed her story because Martin had sexual feelings for Kayla and wanted her for himself. He thought that Ty didn't deserve to have Kayla in his life, that she was too good for him. Little did he know.

So instead of coming to Ty and telling him what Kayla had told him he kept it to himself and branded Ty a murderer. However, the truth was revealed and Martin apologized but as much as they still communicate they will never be as close as they were before.

Thank you all so very much for reading
