SEDUCING MY SISTER'S FIANCE

DINNER

Esther's POV

The sunlight falls on the room. I rubbed my eyes. The morning came fast.

I walked to my bathroom. It took hours for me to brush and take a shower.

Heading to the dining table, all are sitting there. Richard has paper in his hand, while others have mobile phones.

I sat in the chair and waited for my food.
"Good morning, Esther," Sara eagerly wished me. I hate her fake smile. Why does she have to show that she cares when she doesn't give a damn?
"Good morning ", I said with very little interest. Elijah gave me a frown, about which I don't care. Oh, I hurt his lovely sister.

"Why are you late? ", Richard asked.
"Oh, am I late? Did you guys starve because of me ", I sarcastically answered at the man.

"Esther, behave," Eric scolded me.
"This is the best behavior of me," I said to Eric and glanced at Elijah, who was going to scold me.

I ate my breakfast quickly.

There are no plans for me today. So I sat in the lounge and read the newspaper. I don't know why, but there is no news of Aaron's marriage. If he is an idol of the business industry, then how can Paparazzi let it go? Maybe he was going to surprise them with the sudden announcement after marriage.

Time skip.

It was getting late. I saw the maids running from here to there.

"Hey, why are all these arrangements? ", I asked to a maid.
"Mr.hilster is coming here for dinner ", she answered.

Wow nice. So it is for Mr. Hilster. These arrangements are here to welcome him.

"Esther, there is a surprise for you", Sara said, coming near me.
"I don't want your surprise, Sara,", I answered honestly.
"What behavior is this, Esther? ", Elijah yelled at me.

I headed to my room. I better sit here, so there is no need to face him.

I stayed in the room, putting my airpods on my ears.

Elijah took the ear plugs from my right ear.

"What the hell, Elijah? ", I asked him.
"A guest is in down stairs, and you are sitting here," he asked at me.
"He came to see his fiancee, so why should I be there?" I shouted at him.
"That is called manners, and you don't have it," he stated.
"Yes, I have no manners. So the people who have it should gather together. Just leave me out of this ", I said, going to put the airpods back on my ear.

"Esther, don't make me mad. Come down ", he ordered at me.
"No." I am not coming.
"He is such a famous person. And you are giving this attitude to him. Are you jealous of Sara? ", Elijah shook his head and got out of my room.

I am jealous of her.

I went downstairs. All smiled at me, but I know there is no genuine smile.

"I arranged everything according to your liking," Sara clinged at Aaron's arm.
He gave her a smile.

"Esther, look, who is there? ", she pointed at the door. Aaron is here then, who is she pointing to? I looked there. It was Tommy. Why is he here? I went near him.

"What are you doing here? ", I asked Tommy.
"Sara told me that you wanted to see me", he answered. Is this the surprise she meant?

"Should I leave ", he asked, looking at my puzzled face.

"Come inside ", Sara pulled him inside. He looked at me.

I have no choice but to go with the flow.

"Aaron, Tommy, sit down. Let's talk after dinner ", Richard said.
Aaron sat with Sara.

Richard motioned for me to sit. I sat between Elijah and Tommy. Aaron was in front of me.

The food served

I was going to take a bowl, but Aaron took it before me. He tasted it in front of me and hummed. What did he want?

"The peanuts in it taste good ", he said to the maid who prepared it. Others around the table have proud faces. Oh, it has peanuts. Thank goodness. If I ate it then they can see me in the mortuary.

After dinner, Lucy went to the kitchen. Elijah, Eric, and Richard are talking from the hall. Sara and Aaron were talking on the couch. I was left alone with Tommy.

"Esther ", he called me.
"Tommy, if you are asking for my forgiveness, then hear me. I forgave you. I don't want to mess with this more," I said to him breathlessly.

"Thank you, Esther,", he said sincerely.
"So are you okay with Elijah? ", I asked him. Elijah is his best friend.
"Well, we lost the best friend vibe", Tommy said. I can clearly see that.
"Okay", I don't want to interfere in it.
"Can I ask you something? ", he asked politely.
"What?", I was not so polite.

"What happened that day? ", he asked me. I didn't answer. I went silent. No one asked this of me. All believed her. This Tommy too. When I came back, everyone asked where I was and not what happened.

"Believe what you have been believing ", I said to him.
"I know that was wrong ", he murmered. But I can hear that.

"I want to ask you one more thing ", he said. Please don't ask me to be a lover like before. It will kill me.
"What? ", I asked.
"Can we be friends ", he said, not looking at me. Friends?

"No? ", I answered.
Why?" he said, now lifting his head up.
"I don't want anyone more. I am scared of attachments. It always ends  badly."It was the fear of the same eleven-year-old girl.

I think he understood it because he hugged me. A comforting hug.

"It's okay. I understand", he said those words. I pulled away from the hug.

It was almost nine. Usually my family calls at this time, so I went to my room. My phone was charging. I was going to take it, but a hand stopped me. I looked behind. It was Aaron. His face was red with anger.

"What the hell, Aaron? ", I shouted, but not so loudly.
" What? So you got the lover ", he was angry. I have never seen him gets angry. There is a strong smell of alcohol.
"Stop it, Aaron,", I said to him.
"Why should I? Boys are like toys for you; you played with them and threw them when you found the new one ", he said, pulling me by mu shoulders. 
"Aaron ", I tried to lower my sound. Everyone is downstairs.

My phone was ringing. I looked at the screen. It was Wil. 
"So is this your new boy", he asked.
"Aaron, don't. You are exceeding the limits", I warned him.

"You crossed the limit first" , he argued.
"Yeah, but I was not the one who was engaged. It was you. So it should be up to you to maintain a distance ", I said.

"Oh me. Our marriage was an agreement. We have decided way before that there is no relation between us, and if we find our love, we part ways. So is it true that you tried to kill your sister for a boy?" he asked, waiting for my answer. So she told it to him. Does he believe her? Of course he should. My father and two brothers, who have known me since my birth, believed her.

I was beyond angry now. I have had enough.

"Yeah, I am a killer. Stay away from me," I pushed him to the side. But the door was opened. Sara was at the door with a smirk.
