Chapter 23
JARDEN'S POV
Seeing Kiara cry wasn't something I planned to watch or even take a glance at.
Her tears soaked my clothes but I couldn't care less. I wanted her to hate me, hate my gut but I still couldn't let her go to bed crying because of me.
At the same, I brought her to my bed, and she cried for a long time before she finally slept off. I couldn't help but feel guilty, guilty because I made her day worse. I made her cry, cry until her eyes were red and puffy.
I stare at her as she sleeps peacefully on my chest, she looks so cute and innocent. It was best I stop talking to her, and stop touching her before I got addicted to her. I am only going to hurt her more and more.
Greg was the perfect match for her, he liked her and I knew he wouldn't hurt her.
She stirred slowly my chest, I quickly closed my eyes, I did not want her to know I was awake cause she would freak out.
She raised her head from my chest, I could tell that she was now staring at me.
" Oh my God" I heard her murmur.
" Jarden" she called.
" Jarden" she taps me. I faked yawn and then stretched before looking at her.
" What am I doing here? And where are my clothes?" She asked looking at me sternly.
" Oh... I didn't want you to sleep on that tight dress".
" So you changed me?" Shee asked almost exclaiming. Why is she acting as if I haven't seen her body before?
" I didn't touch you Kiara,, I only changed you that's all. And besides the dress was looking so uncomfortable for you" I said trying to reason with her.
" As if you care" she arrogantly said, as she stood up from the bed.
" just stay away from me, I have a boyfriend now," she says while picking her clothes from the couch. I scoffed.
" Read my lips, okay, I have a boyfriend so leave me alone man-whore" she spat out before walking out of my room.
A boyfriend? Greg is her boyfriend now? How did that happen? And how did I allow that to happen?

We were all eating silently at the dining table. My dad and Karly didn't look as happy as they always were. I wonder what happened to them. Or maybe Dad has done something terrible just as I expected.
" So.... Our wedding has been postponed" dad's said.
" Uh, why?" Kiara asked chewing softly on her food.
" He is going on a business trip for 3 months" Karly says.
"Buh that doesn't mean you should postpone the wedding" I concluded looking at Dad... Karly nodded. I know it was Dad who was against the fact that they should do the wedding before the business trip.
" It is really important Jarden?" He says.
" Important than your wedding or wife?" I asked. Dad sighs.
" No, not that, it's just that I can't miss it or else, my company is going to collapse" this is what he says.
When we all have family dinners and all that with my mom. The old fool is only going to meet his mistress.
"Yeah important" I scoffed.
" Jarden" Jake called.
" What?".A
" Just shut up" he says...wow always dad's puppet. Act as if Dad was perfect. Even after everything he has done... I ignored him and then continued eating my food.
" So I got you an apartment," Dad said to Kiara who smiled.
" Thank you, sir," she said.
" Yh, it's alright"
" Jake and Jarden take care of her while you all are in school, she is your sister, okay" Dad says.
" Yes Dad," Dad's puppet said.
" Not my sister" I mumbled.
" Yh I know just protect her like you would protect your little sister if you had one" If I had a little sister? What is he trying to imply here? Yh I had one. He knows saying that would trigger a memory that I have been trying to bury deep in my head.
" thank you very much Dad" " I said sarcastically standing up from the dining chair aggressively.
Asshole.
He caused all this, Mom's death, my sister's death. He is a monster and he has to pay for all his crime but all the bad people always gets to live while the good people die every day.
I hit the wall continuously, all the memories kept running through my head, and I wanted to forget about it. My sister's first step, her first smile, her first word. Her first word was jay-jay, it was the cutest thing that had ever happened to me. She was my favourite person in the world. Nobody could ever separate us not even my mom.
But the only thing that could even separate us was death. The death that my dad coursed.
I hate him for taking her away, taking Mom away. Taking everything that was ever important to me.
Ever since that happened, I couldn't care less about anything that was going to happen, happen to me or whatever.
Karly was making the biggest mistake of her life, I couldn't let that happen not when Kiara was her daughter.
Postponing the wedding was even the best option at least I will have enough evidence of dad life.
************************************
" Man she is the best thing that has ever happened to me" Greg squealed.
It was funny how we silently listened to Greg who wouldn't shut up about Kiara I could tell the guys were already sitting tired especially Harald who had rolled his eyes for the 100th time.
Jerry kept on stealing glances at me, I knew he was thinking about our last conversation about Kiara. When I said I was going to bang her.
" Have you banged her yet?" Harald asked.
" Not yet," he says.
" Not yet?" I asked. Nothing made me feel good more than what he just said.
" We were waiting for Valentine's Day, that day is going to be our three-month anniversary" Valentine's Day? She was a virgin so that meant her was going to be her first. WTF.
" Why wait? Haven't she been fucked before?" Harald asked again.
" Use more appropriate words pls," Greg said.
" More appropriate? What are the more appropriate words for fuck?" Harald asked us.
" Just use bang," Jerry said this time.
" So yh, hasn't she been banged before?"
" So this is kinda private but I am so proud of her".
" O....Kay" they all said.
" She is Virgin".
" Bro capping" Harald laughed.
" She is, seriously".
" Stop lying," Gerald said laughing too.
" She is a virgin" I blurt out. Ohh... Shit. They all turn to look at me apart from Jerry who already knew I fucked up.
" How did you know?" Greg asked staring at me suspiciously.
" She is my sister" This was the most cringe word that I have ever said in my life.
" Your sister?" Gerald asked. They knew I never called Kiara my sister.
"Yeah, I overheard her talking about it to her friend so you'll stop staring at me like that". I said trying to laugh it off.
" Man get a condom and make sure you don't get her pregnant, I don't want to be an uncle yet" Gerald said.
" I will" Greg smiles.
" And I will teach you the 200 styles in sex" Harald said and we all laughed.
" Bro stop this".Greg said while laughing.
" So... What have you both done?" I asked. Greg didn't feel comfortable with the question.
" It's not that hard to answer Greg," Jerry said.
" We have done a lot of things apart from sex," he said. Apart from sex? Wow!.
" Things like what?" Jerry asked.
" Blow job, eaten her, finger her and lots more not just sex" he says. She allowed him to touch her like that.
Why would she let him? I was the only one allowed to touch her, only me.
What was I expecting, she was dating him now. They're both happy with each other.
Most times when I see her with him, she looks so happy. She couldn't be like that if she was with me never.
Ever since we resumed college, I didn't see her not until she came out of her apartment because it's beside mine thanks to Dad.
" Any girl yet?" Harald's voice brought me back from my imagination.
" Nope," I replied.
" That's new," Greg said.
Looking at Greg I could tell the way he was looking at me was different ever since I asked that question.
" Just trying to concentrate" they all gasp at my word.
" We all know you're an A+ student even though you don't concentrate in class and all that bro if you learn property, you will have the brain of Shakespeare," Gerald said.
"Yeah that's true" Greg said leaning on a bed.
Ohhhh if I tell him I want to fuck his girlfriend, man would get angry at me so. No. That's just going to be my next move.
