HIS BROTHER

Mark and I had just finished up with a very heated divorce. I couldn't believe he cheated on me. I should've known better when I saw the state of his secretary. I know I shouldn't have blame it on her but I was just so mad.

Mark could never settle for one thing. He always had to have it all, one car wasn't enough, we needed 3. Being a CEO of one company, wasn't enough, he needed to be a CEO for another one. A wife wasn't enough, he needed a side piece at work to keep him company.

The late night meetings and business trips started to add up and I never felt more stupid when I finally figured it all out.

It was a messy fight and an even messier divorce. I was just lucky there was no prenup, and he was very unlucky in that sense. I watched his masculinity crumble when I walked away with half of his belongings.

I sat in my apartment that was previously ours. Anxiously waiting for him to arrive to pick up the last of his things.

'At least it will be the last time I need to see him.' I thought to myself as I sat on the sofa. Since that was my thought process, I thought it would only be right to put in an effort. Make him see what could have been his forever.

I wore jeans that hugged my ass perfectly and a cropped vest top. I made sure my makeup was just right so I could see him eat his heart out. I wanted to leave him gagged.

The doorbell rang and I walked slowly to the door. Mark needed to foam at the mouth at the sight of me. Grovelling would be the cherry on top but I didn't want to be too ambitious.

"Rob-" I spoke in shock when I opened the door. Rob was Mark's younger brother and He was a year or two older than me. They were never particularly close so I'd only see him at family gatherings and parties. They weren't frequent though. Rob and I always had this flirtatious banter about us. But banter was all it was since I not only had respect for my marriage but self respect too, and class might I add.

"I'm here to pick up Mark's things." He spoke and I was confused. He was meant to see me looking as good as I did so he could literally die.

"Oh I thought he was coming to get it all." I expressed confusion with my tone as I opened the door further. "Come in." I spoke and he walked into the apartment.

"It's all there," I said and pointed at the two boxes on the floor in the corner. Rob walked to the boxes and picked the first one up. He was muscular so I didn't think to offer any help.

"For the record, I hate Mark for what he did to you. You didn't deserve that. No one deserves that." I appreciated his kind words, he really didn't need to say that.

"Thanks Rob, I knew there was a reason why I liked you." I joked and got a wine glass out. He walked out of the apartment with the first box and I poured my glass before sitting on the sofa.

He walked back in a few minutes later, without his jacket this time. His biceps bulged out of his T-shirt and I caught myself staring. Tattoos covered his arms. Sleeves. I often mentioned to him how cool I thought they were. I never realised how hot he was. He picked up the last box and made his way to the door.

"Hey like I said before, you deserve better." He spoke and I smiled softly. Mark was lucky that Rob was kind enough to pick up his stuff from the apartment in the first place.

"Rob thank you," I sighed and sat up straight on the sofa.

"If you ever wanna talk to someone, you can call me you know." I found the thought of him offering help when his brother had just cheated on me was kind of odd. What was weirder was that they were related but I knew he meant well. Mark was quite literally the devil himself whereas Rob was an angel.
