Chapter 13

It took her a few seconds to process what they had just said.

"You bought me," her voice came out as a whisper. Then she screamed. "YOU BOUGHT ME!"

Danica lunged for the twins wanting to tear their eyes out but Tristan was quick to hold her back and she fought in his grip.

"It's not like tha–" Leon began.

"You bought to fuck. You bought me to become your sex toy."

Keon was annoyed. He and his brother were trying to explain but she wouldn't shut up.

"DANICA!" His voice boomed in the room making the woman in Tristan's hold quiet down. Also, he didn't have his brother's patience.

"Calm down and listen," he snapped.

Leon sighed before he continued talking. "We didn't buy you, we was already in love with you since we first saw you. That was when you was three and we, six and it became obvious to our parents, yours and ours what was happening arooouuunnd–" Leon looked to Keon for help.

"Fourteen. We was fourteen and your dad called us aside. We explained how we loved you. Long story short, your dad called ours, they made us promise to wait for you to clock eighteen then you was eighteen and we revisited the case then claimed you." Keon completed.

Danica looked confused. "What?"

Tristan let her go and pulled Viridian to him, whispering into her ear. "We should leave them."

Viridian shook her head.

"Vee c'mon, they got some iish to settle and it's none of our business."

With that said, Tristan pulled her wrist and she reluctantly followed him out. They got to the kitchen and Tristan passed her a glass of vodka which she downed at once. She grimaced as she felt the hot liquid travel through her system. "Thanks, I needed that."

"I'm still mad at you tho." He said.

"For what?" She rolled her eyes.

"That fling with Michael, you can't do that with him or any other guy." He frowned.

Viridian sighed. "You know what I can't do right now? Putting up with your jealous and petty ass while my best friend is up there with your best friends having a midlife crisis."

"The twins won't hurt her."

"Oh I know, but she will hurt them if they keep going on about trash. Like why the fuck are you guys so possessive? Don't you understand the meaning of friends with benefits? What's that thing about belonging to them? I certainly don't belong to any man."

Tristan gave her a look.

"And I certainly don't belong to you so don't give me that look," she grumbled.

She poured herself another glass of the bitter liquid before gulping it down. She was so confused.

Like what the fuck was wrong with the twins?

Like what the fuck did Tristan mean about her playing candy crush and candy crush saga? She couldn't even begin to fathom how Danica must be feeling.

Suddenly, she felt the warmth of Tristan's body pressing on her back and she unknowingly relaxed into him when he wrapped his arms around her waist.
