The Billionaire's Bet

Chapter 27 : Confessions

The truth really can hurt you, even when you least expect it.

Devon

We all set in the living room, huddled around the glass table in the middle of the room. The wine bottle was placed on the table along with four shot glasses.

"Who's going first?", I asked in a playful tone.

"I'll go first.", Danzel replied. I grabbed a glass and poured wine into and handed it to Danzel. He took a quick shot and slowly wiped his lips. He smirked playfully.

"I confess that I once smoked weed and got so high. The next day when I woke I found myself in my bathtub which was full of vodka. I was 19 years old when that happened."

We all laughed hysterically, exchanging comments and questions.

"I can't believe that you actually smoked!.", Evanly laughed. I stared at her beautiful smile, it made my heart skip a beat.

"Who's next?", I raised a glass full of wine.

"Me! Me!", Evanly shouted.

I handed her the glass, she grabbed it, gently brushing her fingers against my hand. She gave me a smile and took a shot.

"Alright. I confess that I once stole my mom's car to piss her off. I didn't know how to drive so I crashed into some guy's mercadise Benz but I drove off before anyone could see me. I was 17 years old.",

We all paused and exchanged glances then burst into laughter. This was the most enjoyable time I've had in a long while of course I'm not forgetting about 'Me and Evanly'...

"Alright, who's next?"

"I'll go again!", Danzel grabbed the glass out of my hand and aggressively drank it."

He let out a deep sigh.

"I know what I'm about to say will make some of us mad. I'm really sorry Conilliouse and to you too Devon.", he took a deep breath. "I confess that Evanly and I once kissed."

I felt my heart drop to my stomach. What the fuck did I just hear?!

"Excuse me what!?", I slammed the bottle of wine on the table and stood up.

"Hold on, I can explain, Devon. I-it was just one time and It was a mistake...", Evanly stammered. She gave me a guilty look as if she never wanted me to know about this.

"Danzel, how could you kiss her?", I looked at with a hurt look and in disbelief. My own brother kissed the woman of my dreams. The woman I had been longing for.

"I only kissed her once and I thought you were still continuing with our bet!", Danzel quickly realise what he had just said. He went silent and looked at Evanly who set there with a look of confusion. Conillious too realised what had just happened and tried to stand up and intervene but Danzel held her back.

"Evanly...I can explain", A look of dread came onto my face. My eyes widened at the realisation that the very thing I had been avoiding for so long had finally caught up to me.

"What do you mean by your bet?", she stood up from the couch and looked at me, waiting for my explanation. Shit! This isn't how it's supposed to go. Everything was supposed to fall into place once I got her, once I convinced her but now my plans are spiralling out of control and I don't have control over it—not anymore. What is happening?
