Poison and Passion

Chapter 31

~~Arthur's PoV~~

I directly went to the home theatre with the earlier recording from the media.

I wanted to watch it again. Fin's distraught expression was pleasing.

He can't even control what's happening in his family and he wants to steal my power. Foolish.

I ordered them to play the recording.

I was laughing like never before. I didn't find Marcus running away from a bee in a garden this comical.

"Pause, rewind," I ordered them and they obeyed.

I rewatched it multiple times and laughed out loud.

I have never seen Fin flustered to this extent. His face was redder than blood in anger.

My throat was hurting from all the stress from loud laughs.

I had to call him.

I phoned Fin. "Mr Fin Alders, what do you have to say about your sister's engagement?" I questioned as soon as he picked up.

I heard him groaning in frustration. I need more. I need to hear him beg. Beg me to stop annoying him.

"Any comments on when the wedding is?" I pushed it further. I had to. It was once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Stop wasting my time and yours," he said grumpily.

I signalled Andrew to play the recording for Fin to hear how I was not wasting my time but indeed enjoying.

"When is the wedding?" The reporter on the recording questioned while he was running away.

He hung up.

"Rewind," I ordered them again. I am just not getting tired of it. I love his distraught face more than I love my meat-hungry wild wolves.

I was busy laughing when Rebecca and Enzo entered the room.

They had confusion written all over their faces.

"Come in," I invited them.

Their steps towards me were unsure.

"It's okay, come inside," I reassured them.

"Want to have a drink?" I offered Rebecca my most loved scotch.

Rebecca shook her head in rejection.

"Rewind," I ordered them again. I laughed again. His expressions triggered laughter out of me.

Both of them looked at me weirdly, as if they saw a ghost.

"What are you doing, brother?" Rebecca voiced out her dilemma.

"Enjoying my friend's misery," I replied honestly.

He made that face again in the recording, I laughed out loud.

"What are you doing here?" I asked them.

"We thought we could watch a movie. Since I will be leaving tomorrow, Enzo and I wanted to spend some time together," she explained.

"Good luck," I said, standing up. I had enough fun for the day and time for me to get back to work.

"Wanna do the father, daughter, dance with me tomorrow?" she asked hesitantly as I was walking towards the exit.

Does she want to do it with me? Isn't our father going to be at the wedding?

"Me?" I asked to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. I had too much scotch today.

"Yeah," she said.

"Brother Marcus agreed to walk me down the aisle. I was hoping to have the dance with you," she said.
