I woke up to the scent of fresh dough. I smiled from ear to ear as I remembered what happened last night. I noticed an empty spot besides me in the bed and my smile faded away immediately. I didn't slept with Grayson, I slept with the evil side of him. Instead of stopping him, I gave in yesterday. I immediately got out of the bed as I curled the sheets around my naked body. I needed to sneak to the guest room so I could dress properly, I didn't want anyone to know I slept with Grayson yesterday. Especially not when the funeral was right before we... enjoyed each other.

I sneaked around on my toes towards the guest room. Luckily no one was upstairs so I managed to be unseen in the hallway. As I stepped into the guest room I shut the door immediately. I quickly ran towards my suitcase and grabbed some underwear, a sweat pants and a hoodie. I needed to look like I slept on my own.

After a few minutes I was ready and I walked out of the room, heading down stairs. "Good morning." Ethan said and I saw how a smile formed on his face as he saw me walking down the stairs. I smiled back at him, but differently. I felt awkward that I had slept with his brother, especially when he warned me for him. I walked over to Ethan who was making pancakes. Ethan planted a kiss on my cheek when I stood besides him.

"Pancakes? Aren't you dairy free?" I asked Ethan when I frowned at him. Before he moved away, he decided to be dairy free. I know it has been two years since I saw him, but he would definitely tell me if he stopped being dairy free.

"Yes, I am. These are for you." Ethan said and I smiled brightly at him. I heard a loud cough behind us and I recognized it before I even heard it. Grayson...

"If we're done being such a cringe, could I pass?" Grayson said as he ran a hair through his hand. My smile faded away as I didn't saw the same Grayson as last night. I took a few steps back so Grayson could walk passed us. He slowly walked over to the fridge and my face dropped. Ethan must have seen it since he grabbed my arm and softly squeezed it. I looked back at him as I tried to hold back my tears. He can't find out...

I heard my phone rang, but oddly it wasn't in my pocket. I looked towards the sound and noticed it came from Grayson. He nonchalantly grabbed it out of his pocket as my eyes widened. "What the hell are you doing with my phone?!" I shot at him as I could feel my cheeks turning red.

"Don't let it around my room if you're gonna bitch about it." Grayson said as he threw my phone on the kitchen counter besides me. He walked passed me again, out of the kitchen. I was still standing there in shock, frozen with my eyes still widened.

"His room?" Ethan asked confused and I could feel myself starting to shiver. I picked up my phone with shivering hands as I tried to hold myself together.

"M-mr. Taylor. How can I help?" I said with a cracking voice once I picked up the call. A tear escaped my eye but I still couldn't move.

"Delilah! I have a business meeting tonight, and for God's sake it's in Los Angeles. Could you join me?" Mr. Taylor said through the phone and I took a deep breath in.

"I would love to, mr. Taylor. I just need a place and time." I said as I started biting my lip. I could feel Ethan's eyes burning on my skin as he was confused of the fight between me and Gray. I tried so hard to hold my tears back, but I lost it...

"Just text me the address where you're staying and I will pick you there up at six." Mr. Taylor said. I slowly nodded but I immediately held my hand on my forehead as I noticed mr. Taylor couldn't see me.

"That's fine. I will see you tonight." I told mr. Taylor. We both said our goodbyes before we hung up. I texted him the address, which was a tough job since my fingers were more shivering than I could imagine.

"Why was your phone in Grayson's room?" Ethan said as he had put the pancakes on a plate. "And where were the both of you after the funeral?" Ethan said as I saw he was slowly putting the puzzle pieces together in his head. "Delilah..." Ethan said when he had finally figured it out.

"I'm sorry..." I barely said above a whisper as I was fully breaking down. My legs gave up and I fell down to the ground as my back leaned against the kitchen counter. I buried my face in my hands as I felt like I was crying my eyes out. I made a stupid mistake, and it would cost my bond with Ethan...

I felt a hand on my shoulder which slowly pulled me away from the counter. Ethan was pulling me against his chest as he slowly rubbed my back. "Don't be..." Ethan mumbled in my ear as he tried to comfort me. My breathing constantly broke and I was almost choking in my tears. "That bitch." Ethan suddenly said before he let go of me. I slowly looked up to him as I saw him storming out of the kitchen. I slowly stood up and followed him.

"You fucking bastard!" I heard Ethan yell against Grayson before he pushed him against the wall. I gasped for air as I saw how angry Ethan was. It seemed like a dream when I watched Ethan punching his brother multiple times in the face. Grayson's blood fell to the ground in slow motion as I was frozen to the ground. As I blinked I felt like I was back to reality and I stormed towards them.

"Ethan! Stop!" I yelled in fear as I tried to pull him away from Grayson. If he kept on punching Grayson like this, he'd kill him. "You are killing him!" I said as I kept on trying to pull Ethan away.

"Go on then! Kill me! End this suffering!" Grayson yelled as he heard my words. I immediately froze again as I watched Grayson. Did he... did he just say he wanted to die..?

"What..." I whispered. Ethan must have been as shocked as I was since he stopped beating his brother.

"You heard me! Go on!" Grayson said in anger as he pushed Ethan. Luckily I held onto Ethan so he didn't fell down to the ground.

"Is that how you really feel?" I whispered to Grayson as I walked in front of him. I watched him into his dark golden eyes as I slowly wiped the blood away from his face. "Do you really want to die..?" I whispered again as I held my hand on his cheek. I could hear Grayson's breathing was being steady as I held my hand on his cheek. His eyes slowly shut and I wished I could hear his thoughts.

"Yes..." Grayson whispered before he opened up his eyes again. This time they were filled with tears, and not only his but also mines.
