ALPHA SIN

ARTEMISIA

After the event earlier, I didn’t see Adrina around, and neither did I visit the gallery again.

I was back in my room, sitting in front of the vanity, doing nothing.

I sighed, averting my eyes once again. Not only that, but I let it trail around the room for a while, then went back to the mirror.

“I am so bored out of my mind.” I moaned whilst gripping the hairbrush I had been using.

If my hair wasn’t that strong, I was sure all would have pulled out, since I had been brushing it for about thirty minutes now.

I had attempted to do some arrangements around the room after getting back from the gallery to curb the boredom I was feeling, but it didn’t work.

I had even played all the songs I had on my phone, as well as added more to the playlist by downloading. Yet, I was still bored.

It even got worse because I started missing Sin.

Even though we would say nothing to each other, at least it would be better to have him.

However, I knew it was unlikely we wouldn’t say anything if he was here.

He was going to taunt me until I left the room for him.

But, I feel that was better than being bored to tears and not knowing what to do.

I sighed, shutting my eyes.

“Maybe I can help with alleviating your boredom.”

My eyes went wide as I turned in the direction the voice had come from.

“Emma!”

“Big sis!” She grinned whilst running to embrace me.

“May I join in as well?”

My eyes widened more when Julie appeared in the doorway behind her.

I pinched myself to ensure I wasn’t dreaming or imagining them being here.

“You both are real?” I asked, blinking.

“Of course we are!” Julie giggled.

It was until I felt her warmth and strawberry fragrance that made me believe I was not dreaming.

“Oh, goodness!” I breathed out, grinning. “I didn’t know you were coming.”

“It was a surprise,” Emma asserted, coming to sit by the bed.

Her eyes travelled around the room, and she glanced at me. “This room is lovely!”

“You think so?” I retorted, eyeing the room I had thought was bland. It still was, no matter what Emma had said. We have different tastes, and she tends to like colours a little darker than I preferred.

“It is.” She affirmed.

“I find it unattractive, and I am thinking of redecorating,” I mumbled.

It wasn’t like Sin would appreciate it if I did or not.

I believe he would be uninterested and might not even notice the changes.

“But why are you here? I mean, Sin would have informed me you were coming, and I will be prepared to meet both of you.”

“As I said, it is a surprise. Also, Sinclair is aware we were coming.” Emma said.

I sighed whilst glancing at each of the women beside me. I was delighted to see them. Still, I couldn’t help but feel it was slightly odd.

I knew Julie had always said she would visit. She had said she would during the reception of my wedding, and I hadn’t objected to it because she was my best friend.

However, Emma was different. She had run away when Sin wanted to marry her.

Now, she had come again to his abode. It was unlike her.

She enjoyed running away at every little opportunity she got, and she had been doing that all the time.

Seeing her in my room and on the bed I share with Sin made me jealous as I recalled the intimate relationship they had been in before I came into the picture.

Sin had been with me too, making it two sisters he had an affair with.

“What are you thinking about?” Julie questioned, creasing her brows. “Don’t you like our presence here?”

I grimaced. “Why will you say that?”

“Because you have that weird thinking face you often have whenever something displeases you.”

I rolled my eyes at Emma’s statement. Even though she was right, I couldn’t tell her I wanted her out of here.

I mean, she was my freaking sister.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel her visitation was slightly off.

★★★

“Does your husband have a younger brother? Because he is freaking hot! I don’t think it’s lawful for someone to get hotter each day.”

I glared at Julie as she gushed. She sighed and stared dreamily at nothing.

“Come on, time out!” I exclaimed, doing a time-out sign before gripping her shoulder.

I shook her until she snapped out of the daze.

“What?” She asked, scowling. “You are ruining the view.” She attempted to shove me as I stepped in her line of vision to block her from ogling a shirtless Sin further.

“Stop drooling,” I said. “You know that is my husband.” I pointed to Sin, who was with a fork hoe.

He stood in the middle garden whilst tilting his head. He didn’t seem to hear what we were saying, even though we were loud.

“That is quite possessive of you, and you are beginning to sound like an old lady,” Emma tsked.

For the first time since we decided to take a walk around the palace, I stared at Emma.

A small smile played on her lips, and I noticed she was staring at Sin as I traced her sight. I glimpsed a glint in her eyes and she licked her lips.

I shouldn’t mind what she was doing, since she was always out to rile me. Also, my marriage to Sin was strictly business, even though we were intimate with each other.

I glared as anger bubbled inside of me. I was jealous, and I couldn’t stop being irrational.

Julie was beautiful. She was slightly curvaceous with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. She had all the curves I couldn’t and wouldn’t ever get in my life, even if I attempted to do surgery.

Although she hadn’t said she was interested in Sin, she could get his attention easily because all the women he had been with, Adrina inclusive, were voluptuous.

Emma was a mini-me, but better. Her skin was a little on the olive side and not extremely pale, like mine. She was knowledgeable in the art of seduction, even though she was younger than I was. So, she could get any man’s attention easily.

I wonder if she had used the tricks she knew to get into Sin’s bed.

It was surprising he had settled for me when he saw a lot of women he could choose from. A lot of full-figured bimbos.

Perhaps because he had no choice since Emma had fled and my parents had practically shoved me in front of him.

Whatever the reason he had for being with me, I didn’t mind. I didn’t like him, and I don’t think I would ever.

But, I was glad he had saved me from some unpleasantness my parents might have planned out for me.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
