Chapter 56
Ella's POV
"Wait...What? You're my guardian? What does that even mean Matt?", I question my brother-in-law.
I watch his expression change from his normal goofy self to something more serious than I have ever seen from him. I watched as his smile faded and his brow took on a more serious form.
"Ella, I have always known that you were different. That we were like-minded, kindred spirits, one might say. That's because we are family." he says his brow more pointed than before.
"Yes... we have been for many years. When you married Grace...?", I look at him like he has lost his mind.
He smirks but something about him has changed, it's not the smile I had hoped for. Instead, it's devious. Almost as if expected me to say that.
"Oh Ella, we were family long before that. See my father and you share the same mother. Making you my aunt, by all accounts", he slyly smiles and steps closer towards me.
