A PROMISE OF THE PAST

The Siblings Deal

Michael's POV

   I reach the coffee shop where my sister told me to come. She said she has something important to tell me. She is already working at the hospital that dad built.

   I saw her pretty face sitting in a table near the window. She saw me as soon as I entered the shop and waved at me.

   "Hey, I missed you bro!", She stand and greeted me.

   I chuckled."It's only been 12 hours since we saw each other princess.".

   "What!Can't I miss my brother within that hours?", she rolled her eyes at me and we sit.

   She brought out a folder and a pen and gave it to me.

   "Sign EVERY pages and don't talk to me unless your done reading ALL of it"., she said and I gave her a questioning look.

   She urged me to open and read all of it.

   "Samantha Collin Grey! What the fu-", She interrupted me by killing me with her eyes. I am just on the first page when I reacted on what I just read.

   I am forced to read all of it. When Im done, I have a very serious face and looked at her. I threw the folder in front of her.

   "Samantha!Are you out of your fuckin' mind? Did you just made this fuckin' papers without thinking a million times?", I shouted at her and  thank God only few customers are here.

   "There is no need to think Michael Grey. You deserve this and you are more capable to handle these. There is only one I want you to do. Continue what dad started and you still have to help those foundations and orphanage. I know you will do that because you are the copycat of dad's heart.

   Dad told me before that Samantha loves me as a brother and he said time will come and I'll believe him. I didnt believe him because I just know she hates me when she learned that I am her brother. I saw pain in her eyes that time.

   Is this what meant by dad? Her transferring to me  ALL of the wealth she inherited from dad's last will?

   I cant believe this. She is indeed out of her mind. I am not after dad's wealth that's why I came back. I wanted to protect her because I love my only sister. This is the least thing I could do after those many years I hide from her.

   I never left her by the time we learned that we are siblings. I just hide. But I was always with her but she cant see me. I didnt want her to see me. Dad sent me to Italy to study Business management. And then he told me he is going to send Samantha there. I was so happy that time. I will be there for her always.

   Dad sent her to the same school as mine and he bought apartment for her beside mine. I always watch her back for any danger.

   There were a lot of times she faced troubles. I was there to fight the guys who are drunk and forced her to go with them.

   I fought all of them and before she can recognize me, I ran as fast as I could.But not far from her so I can still protect her if she face another one. I always wear hooded jackets.

   That is the time I told dad that he should ask her to train in a self defense class. Im glad she followed dad and got addicted on training and she tried different trainings of fighting. She even trained to hold and shoot a gun.

   I was then reliefed.

   "Dad gave you his wealth and you deserve it being his only child specially on other people's eyes. They will only think that I came back because I want some of the shares. But I don't! I can work on my own and I have more savings for working and running my own company princess. You know that.", I told her. I really can't accept it.

   "If you are not going to accept this Michael I swear I am going to get your girlfriend fired as a secretary", she tried to blackmail me. Is she insane?I can take Brielle in that company and work with my own.

   "Try harder sis. You know I can hire her to work with me.", I rolled my eyes.

   "Please Michael. You are dad's son and you are my brother so you have the right on dad's wealth. This is all I want from you. Please sign and continue dad's work. I studied all your records and you are even better than dad. Just please sign this.", she pleaded and handing me the pen.

   I tore the papers and shove it back to the folder and gave it to her.

   I saw her eyes were shock and she is hurt.

   "Ill only sign if you will make another agreement BUT-", I saw her eyes full of hope." We are going to be partners. We both are dad's children, and we will take his wealth HALF.  Dont argue with that and say it's a deal.", I said smirking.

   "Deal". We shake hands and we both laugh.

  "Dad must be so proud of you princess. He raised you well. And you said I am his copycat?No, you are. You have a golden heart and I love you for that. I am so proud to be your brother.", I said kissing her forehead.

   "And you are the best brother, HOODIE!", she said and I am shocked.How did she know?

   She noticed my reaction.

   "You are such an idiot. I already know you are the hoodie guy who always save me in Italy. Your built, height and perfume. I even saw your hoodies on your cabinet in your apartment. You think Im stupid?", she smirked.

   "Oh the princess is always smart! Ofcourse it was me. I asked dad to force you train in self defense class because I am already tired of following you around.", I said and she hit me in my shoulder and we both laughed.

   We drove to Abby's apartmemt and as soon as we got out of the elevator, she ride on my back and I laughed at her childishness. I opened the door and walked her to the living room both of us are laughing.

   Sean and Abby are sitting in the couch and looked at us. They laugh with me because I litterally throw Samantha in the couch. She held her butt and stand to hit me.

   Laughters filled the house. I am happy whenever I see my sister's smile.

   She sits beside Abby and hugged her saying she missed her.

   I saw Sean is already asleep in the couch with a smile on his lips. I know he likes Samantha and I know the reason why he cant let her say anything to him. I hope they end with each other's arm. Sean is also over protective on her. I am glad he is there for her when Im not around.

   I worked with Sean in dad's case. I also trained in Italy as a police. That's why I am licensed also.

   Tonight, we will go on a mission.

To catch the rat in the Greys.
