"No, you're not going anywhere," I told her. My emotions threatened to choke me.
"Sweet! Don't make decisions in haste." Andria spoke sweetly.
"Take care of my father," She whispered to her as she quickly gave her a hug. She turned to uncle and embraced him, "I love you, dad." Her voice broke, chin trembling as she spoke.
Tears blurred the sigh. When I stepped out of my room I did not expect this, "Uncle, say something to her. She just can't go." I grasped uncle's hand and shook him.
His hand lazily rested on her back, "I'll kill you if you hurt my daughter," Uncle said, his gaze on Mark, his voice full of anger and threat.
I gasped. What was pushing him to say this?
"He won't hurt me, dad." She muttered with tears.
"You'll attend my wedding," Uncle told her.
"I will," With a smile, she pulled back and turned to me. Without a word, she took me in a bear hug.
"I'll explain everything to you. Please, don't go." I muttered in her ears. I couldn't rein my tears.
"We'll talk about everything. Take care of dad." She pulled back, breaking the hug.
I gripped her hand and shook my head, "Don't go," I glanced over her shoulder at Mark, "Please," I muttered.
He took a step ahead, his hand rested on her back, "You've gotten my words. No harm to her." His gaze turned to Uncle who looked away with a snort.
I thought and thought, "No, we're business partners. You can't leave everything, leaving us." A tear trickled down my cheek.
Her fingers immediately swiped on my cheek, "Our husbands would take care of it. I'll visit soon." She said, wiping her tears and forcing a smile on her face. I didn't agree with her.
I held her tight, "No, You promised me to be my friend, my sister. You just can't leave,"
I felt hands on my shoulders, "Let her go, kiddo." Uncle pulled me back.
I didn't understand. He was threatening Mark. He should stop her from leaving. At least, she should not go like this, leaving a mess behind her. I shook my head when I realized I couldn't speak.
She hugged me one more time. I fastened my arms around her shoulders, "I love you, sis."
"I love you, too. Sis."
These were the words shared by us when we first met, and uncle brought her home.
She drew herself back. Her gaze drifted on our faces. Uncle was still holding my shoulders. He embraced me when Mark led her away from us.
I broke into tears. I wanted her to go after her wedding, not like this, "Uncle, please, stop her."
"It's okay, kiddo." He patted my arm softly.
I thought of the implications of what happened today. Everything felt like a mess, "No, it's not okay. She shouldn't go like this." My face contorted as tears streamed down my skin. My heart plummeted when I thought of never seeing her.
"Take care of her, Andria." Uncle withdrew his arms and walked in the house to his room deflated. His expression was painful.
"Sienna," She placed her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll be fine. Stay with uncle," I stalked out of the house.
My bottom lip was shivering, my face was getting washed with tears. The sight was blurry but I kept walking. They halted when I saw him, leaning against his car. He pushed himself away at my sight. He must not have expected me to be in tears. I could see it over his face.
He took me into his arms, "She shouldn't go like this. She should get married, we should celebrate. Not like this, " I sobbed over his shoulder.
He pressed his lips on my head. I could hear the loud thud of his heart against my ear.
"Wasn't you in the meeting?" I asked, looking up at him.
I wanted to go and bring her back. I needed to respect her choice.
"Mark called," He glanced in my eyes. He took my hand and held it firmly as he led me to the car. He opened the door for me.
I glanced at the road. I couldn't see her and his car anywhere. Disappointed, I got in the car. Edward leaned in and buckled me up, "You have got a lot of responsibility. You shouldn't waste your time on me, King.' I said.
He just stared at me, " I won't be able to do anything perfectly if you are not happy." He slithered his thumb under my cheek and stepped back instantly, closing the door softly. He strode around to the driver's side and settled himself in, behind the steering wheel. My gaze moved over his hands.
Should I ask for his feelings? No, it's not the right time. I was clenching my phone. I thought to call her but dropped the idea immediately.
"I can cope with my feelings," I told myself.
His hand slipped over my hand, "You're not alone. Give them some time. When you love someone, you can't get angry with them for a long time. "
I stared at our hands. I glanced up at him through my lashes and I was speechless, "Where are we going?" I asked when I couldn't recognize the path.
"See it for yourself," He said.
I nodded and found myself looking out of the window. When he pulled over the car in an unknown parking lot. My gaze drifted around. I opened my mouth but stopped when his car vanished in view. I glanced back at him with tears in his eyes. I got rid of the seatbelt and threw my arms around his neck, "Thank you," I whispered with tears. He didn't need to do this. He shouldn't be here but he was, he was taking care of me. When I expected to be in my room, crying like hell.
Someone knocked his knuckles on the window. I looked out, pulling my head back. Aerial beckoned with her hand to come out. Her eyes were telling, she must have cried in her way.
