First Love

ERICA’S POV

I am stupid? Yes.

I am dumb? Definitely.

I am an idiot? Off course I am.

I love my brother? I do.

That’s it. That’s all the reason why I agreed to marry that Max. I know I am an idiot to agree to marry him but I love my brother. When he told me that from his money I could save my Alex, I just couldn’t ignore the offer. And so what if my life gets messy, atleast I’ll be at peace that my brother’s life is not in danger.

And besides I know that this marriage thing will just be meaningless. I mean he’s a fucking player. He’ll continue to bed women and me, well I’ll just live my life alone just like always.

“Umm. Alex, I want to tell you something.”

“Sure. Go ahead, Sis.”

“IamgoingtomarryMaxCostello.”

“What? Come again.”

I exhaled. Okay this was more difficult than I thought it to be.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

I mean what he’s going to think that his sister is marrying a player? I am so ashamed of marrying a pig like him.

“Listen to me carefully and promise that you’ll have your faith in me.”

He scrunched up his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders. “Okay.”

“I am going to marry someone.”

“WHAT?” He screamed looking at me as if I’ve grown two heads.

“Relax, okay?” I said to him.

“Who’s the guy?” He asked, getting suspicious.

He knows very well that I love Stefan too much. Enough to not marry anyone.

“Maxcostello.”

“Erica.” He folded his arms above his chest.

“Max. Max Costello.” I wishpered.

“WHAT THE FUCK, ERICA WHITE?” He screamed. His tone now getting irritated.

“Language.” I warned his in a barely audible voice.

“Don’t you dare to warn me. What the hell is wrong with you? You just couldn’t marry that guy, Eri.”

He shouted.

“And I thought that you liked him. He was your idol, wasn’t he?” I asked, trying to calm him down.

“He’s a player. And how the fuck- call him right now, Eri.” He stated.

“No.” I breathed out.

“I said something, didn’t I?” He demanded.

Uh. Well how am I going to call him here?

I opened my phone and searched for Max and suddenly his number popped out. What the fuck? When he saved his contact details on my phone?

After one ring, he picked up my call.

“Hey, wifey.”

“Alex wants to meet you right now.”

“Sure. On my way babe.”

I rolled my eyes and saw Alex with his jaw opened. “He is seriously coming here? Just at one of your call?”

I nodded trying to hide my smile.

Besides everything, Max is not that bad. I mean he’s a player but apart from that he not that bad though. I mean can you imagine a fucking Billionaire like him, answering my calls and agreeing to whatever I’ve to say? This is insane, isn’t it?

I was wondering amidst of that I heard a tap on the door and Alex ran to open the door.

“Hey Champ!” Max ruffled his hair.

I sighed. Here we go.

Alex gestured him to sit on the couch and stood Infront of him. I rested my head on the wall and looked at them from afar.

“I know why you called me here. I guess Erica told you about our wedding, isn’t it?” Max asked.

Alex said nothing, just nodded his head.

“Look champ, I like your sister. She’s cute and interesting. I am ready to settle with her. There’s no hidden motive of mine behind that. I really like her, I hope you do understand. And if you don’t mind, I would like to take permission from you to marry your sister.” He coaxed his words full of lie but strangely they felt so real for a second.

“Will you have any affair after your marriage?” Alex asked.

I rolled my eyes. Wow Alex! What a superb question. Off course he will.

“No. I won’t.” He answered, looking intently at me.

I became nervous under his intense gaze and shifted a little to which he chuckled.

“Then you can marry her but remember if you ever dare to break her heart, I promise to destroy your life.” Little Alex and his little threats.

I laughed.

“I won’t break her heart, Alex.” Max said in serious tone making me uncomfortable.

Break my heart? Off course you won’t be able to break my heart because it has been already broken into millions of pieces. I smiled, painfully.

“So my brother in law.” Max laughed. And Alex joined him too.

“I am going to tell all of my friends that my sister is going to marry the max Costello, they all be surprised and jealous of me. Wait can I have a picture of you two as a proof.” Alex chirped, happily.

“No.” I said.

“Yes.” Max said at the same time.

And unfortunately I’ve to stand beside him to let Alex click picture of us. Max, the fucking pig pulled me closer to him by wrapping his arms around my waist and smiled.

Well fuck him.
