Chapter 14: Cousins

Mari's POV

My vision blurred. What was happening to me? Why did I feel woozy all of a sudden? I wobbly turned around to come face to face with father?

Aaron's POV

I started walking down the mysterious hallway. Careful not to make any sudden movements.

"Did you really think that was going to work, Aaron?"

I turned around quickly, only to see an impatient brother of mine with crossed arms, tapping his toe.

I relaxed a fraction of an inch. "What do you want, Seth." I questioned him almost immediately.

"A Hello would've suffice, but yeah, that works too I guess," He just shrugged.

Now, I was confused, why was he acting all friendly?

He smirked. Curse magic because he knew my thoughts. Jerk.

"Just wanted to earn your trust back, bro." Seth said so easily, I almost missed the mischief in his voice. Almost.

I started to crack up, and he look confused. I bent over, hands on my knees.

"You- you want- want to e-earn back my t-t-trust!" I said between laughters.

I looked up at him, and my smile vanished. Someone else had come to make a visit. He came over and grabbed me by my shirt collar. I was soon being dragged behind him into a room to see another man with Mari?

Mari's POV

"F-father?" I stuttered out because one, he died, two, how, and three, why?

Before I could react in any way, he grabbed me by my wrist and started pulling me into an office-looking room.

"Explain, later." He simply told me and left it at that. He signaled to a chair on the opposite side of the desk where he sat. So I obediently sat down on the chair like a good girl.

A couple seconds later, Aaron came in with Loren. I looked at him disgustingly, but he only waved me off. Odd.

Aaron sat down next to me while Loren took a seat next to my dad.

Aaron, what the heck. I tried contacting him without our dads knowing.

I have no idea, but you thinking what I'm thinking?

Duh. I replied, so I quickly stopped and tried to glare at them. They both shifted uncomfortably under Aaron and my stares.

How could the two of us make the two most powerful people scared?

Aaron and I looked at each other, and we both exchanged smirks.

"Explanation. Now." We said in unison with venom in our voices. I think we scared them a bit too much.

Aaron's POV

Somehow, we scared the crap out of my father, and the other dude. I didn't exactly know him, but he seemed too familiar.

And for some reason, they started talking, but it wasn't enough, it was never enough with my father.

"It's a long story." They said in unison.

"First, " I said, gathering my thoughts together, "who are you?" I asked looking at the person who looked so similar to my father.

"I thought you wouldn't remember me," He started, "you were too young, but I'm Loren's brother."

Before I could do anything, he said something else that put me into shock, Mari also froze too. Afraid to move.

"I'm also Marilynn's father." He stated leaning back in the chair, letting us take this in.

So the girl I had been in love with, was my cousin?

Mari's POV

I was frozen. I had already figured out that father and Loren were brothers, but I didn't acknowledge the relationship between me and Aaron connecting with them.

This went to one conclusion, really.

The guy I had feelings for was my cousin.

This was so shocking. I felt so out of place. Why? Why me? Why did it always have to be me?

Why am I always chosen?
