Chapter 5: Is she married?

  “And how was your night…” Grace entered the kitchen, following her brother as soon as she came back.

  “So, what's with the sour look?” Her brother asked instead, throwing her a side glance. Grace let out a sigh and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator. “Had a fun night?” Her brother added mischievously.

  “Not now, Derrick… I see you are doing your uncle duties…she's becoming unbearable,” Grace remarked and picked up some plates and both proceeded to the lining room.

  “She only wants answers, she's a brave, intelligent girl,” her brother said between chuckles. Derrick was undeniably a handsome man, with rugged features that displayed his strength and charisma. But beyond his physical appeal, he possessed an even more captivating quality – his unwavering role as a protective older brother to Grace.

  “So tell me what happened…you came back earlier than expected,” her brother said as they sat down to eat, Grace let out a sigh and took a sip of wine.
