When You Are Mine

The weird feeling which Blake was feeling at the moment was completely unexplainable. For some weird reason he didn't like the proximity between Amy and Ethan. He knew it was none of his business but he couldn't help it.

He tried to shrug this awkward feeling off but it just wouldn't leave him.

He tried to occupy his mind with thoughts of the emergency message he had received from Jake. That dude hasn't been communicating with him that much since he fell in love. He has completely forgotten about his only brother.

Another reason to steer clear of the female specie. They make you forget your family, he tsked.

"What a bothersome specie" He muttered to himself.

He drove into the compound and sauntered into the living room. He was surprised to see both Jake and his grandfather shooting him an awkward look.

"What?" He asked as he approached the couch which Jake was sitting.

"Took you long enough" Jake drawled.

"I had personal business to attend to" Blake replied as he took off his jacket.

"Woman business I suppose?" Grandfather Beau asked, but Blake only rolled his eyes.

"He's the one with woman problem not me. I'm very much single and I'll remain so for a very long time" Blake said with stink eyes directed to his grandfather who wouldn't stop hounding him about having a girlfriend like his brother.

Grandfather Beau eyed him, "Useless fool" He cussed, but Blake ignored him.

"Hey! what happened today that you remembered you still have a brother. Shameless punk" Blake glared at Jake.

"What do you mean? I always call you" Jake defended himself.

"Really? In what galaxy?" Blake said sarcastically. "Always call me indeed" He snickered.

"Since you started dating sister in-law you've completely abandoned me. Am I even your brother? Or maybe you were adopted?" Blake asked.

"I'm the adopted one? That sounds more like you" Jake scoffed as he lolled back on the seat, letting Blake murmur to himself.

"I'm not the adopted one. You're just a traitor to brotherhood" He gruffed.

Grandfather Beau watched the exchange between the two siblings with sad eyes. Only if Henry and his wife were there to see their children. Most especially Blake, he had grown without their mother and had depended more on Jake and their Father.

Seeing them like this, he once again convinced himself his decision for keeping the secret of their father's will from them was the most favourable decision he could have made at the time. He had to protect them from that vicious woman. She was capable of doing anything to get her hands on the will.

Jake who noticed the change in the grandfather's countenance hushed Blake, and looked at the old man intently.

From his looks he had a foreboding that things didn't look good. He had seen this look on him before and that was the day their mother had died.

"Grandfather tell us" Jake said in a calm tone. He could see the struggle on his face.

Grandfather Beau looked at both his grandson for a while before speaking up.

"I have your father's will" Grandfather Beau announced.

Jake and Blake looked at him like they had something foreign, as a matter of fact that was what it was. It was something foreign.

Grandfather could see the look of surprise and unbelief on their faces. And he understood perfectly well.

"What do you mean, grandfather" Blake was the one to ask, because Jake still looked like he was trying to process what their grandfather had just said.

Grandfather looked at Jake who was looking at him with an inscrutable gaze.

"Your father's will is with me, and I've been holding on to it for six years now" He replied, his gaze darting to Jake who was still very much quiet.

Blake was about to say something else when Jake spoke up first. "Why?" Was the only word that came out of his mouth. He didn't understand why his grandfather would keep hold of their father's will....his son will, except...

"Yes grandfather why? Why would you keep such a thing from us and not tell us? And why is it with you and not my father's lawyer?" Blake demanded. He was also at a loss.

Grandfather kept quiet for a while before speaking up again, "William your father's lawyer is under my protection"

"Your protection? Why would he need your protection? Grandfather can you be a little more clear in what you're saying?" Blake was a little impatient....okay maybe more than little. He looked at Jake who had a stoic look on his face like he had some deep thoughts he was pondering on.

"This was what Hillary was talking about right?" Jake asked in a very calm tone, while his grandfather nodded.

"What Hillary? What did she say? Why am the clueless one here?" Blake asked.

Jake suddenly had a deep frown on his face.

"Did my father will the family fortune to her?" Jake asked in a cold tone. He felt like he shouldn't even ask. Because the truth was obvious. Why would grandfather hide the knowledge of the will get them if that wasn't the case?

It most definitely was.

Blake who's interest was piqued by that question immediately turned to look at his grandfather, who responded with a single head nod.

'No way!' He said to himself.

Jake scoffed in disbelief as he deeper into the seat. He had no form of expression on his face. To be honest, he didn't know how to react to these piece of information. Was he supposed to be so shocked that his eyes would almost fall out of their sockets, or if he should be angry by the fact that his grandfather knew something like this all this while but yet he chose to keep something away from him, from them.

Or maybe he should be disappointed at his father for making such a decision, and letting his grandfather bear all the burden of protecting the fortune which they have all worked for decades!

He didn't know what to do.
