Third person's P.O.V

Ryouma: "You know?"

Teresa: "Yeah, you weren't telling me anything so i went and asked Sara."

Flashback

"I think we should tell her everything, they fought because of us and maybe she'll also be able to convince Ryouma and your relationship with him will go back to normal?" Sara tried to convince her husband.

Sam: "that'll never happen. He's not ready to listen anything. He doesn't listen to Rihito, you think he'll listen to her?"

Sara: "well it's your fault, you went and talked rubbish, and we decided we'll tell him together instead you went alone and took all the blame. Trust me he'll listen to her. Didn't you see how he acts around her, I've never seen him like that. I'm sure Teresa is the perfect girl for him and she'll be able to convince him too."

Sam: "Neither have I seen him like that , never. Okay if you say so."

The next day

"Yes, Sara. Sorry for yesterday." Teresa apologized on the phone.

Sara: "It's okay Teresa in fact we're the ones who should apologize you two fought because of us."

Teresa: "Because of you? No, he doesn't need a reason to fight, he'll do it anyways with or without a reason."

Sara: "Can we meet today?"

Teresa: "Okay."

Rina's house

"Hey welcome, Sorry but this is the only private place I could think of. Rina is out too." Teresa invited Sara inside Rina's home.

"Feel yourself at home." She sat on the couch and patted the seat beside her.

"So, what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Teresa grabbed a cushion and wrapped her arms around it.

Sara narrated their 'past.'

Sara and Sam met 5 years ago. She mistook Sam for someone else and Sam too didn't clarify anything. They met and fell in love and Sam proposed her to which she happily agreed. But Sam had to return home because of his dad's health. Sara was left behind, few days later Sara got the news that Sam died in an accident, Sara left the place, after a year later she met Ryouma, they became good friends then after a year they got engaged but then she met Sam again, where Sam was engaged to someone else, When Sam met Sara after 2 years he tried to talk to her but Sara thought Sam cheated her so she avoided him and proceeded with her wedding with Ryouma. When Sam got to know that Sara is his younger brother's fiancee he decided to let it be. Sara soon got to know it was all a misunderstanding and Sam never cheated her, he even talked about her to his parents, who were now dead. He came to search for her but till then she was gone and he only got engaged because of his uncle, Ryuu Carlton. But her wedding was only a day away, too late. But on the day of her wedding she couldn't let herself get married to Ryouma, Sam's brother and live in the same house. She couldn't live without Sam, Sam didn't want to betray his brother but Sara convinced him that the three of them would never be happy with this marriage so she eloped with him on the day of her wedding.

Teresa's P.O.V

Flashback to when he left her on the middle of the road because she praised Sam in front of Ryouma actually not praised, compared.

Flashback in Hawaii when she said she would have eloped with Sam on the day of her wedding with Ryouma.

"Oh God!"I face palmed myself.

"I know that was wrong of us, we should have directly confronted him instead of eloping but our mind was a mess that time." Sara continued.

I wasn't listening to Sara anymore because the flash back of Hawaii was running in my mind.

"Shit!" I hold my head with guilt.

"I actually told him that If I got a chance I would have eloped with Sam on the day of my wedding with Ryouma. Thank god he didn't kill me there. So that's why Ryouma can't tolerate you guys?" Teresa looked at Sara.

"Actually, Sam went ahead and told Ryouma that he seduced me and made me elope." Sara said a little hesitatingly.

"What the hell is wrong with that guy? Who goes and tells things like that to that demon? He already must have going mad over his fiancee marrying his brother that too eloping from their wedding and your stupid husband went and told him he seduced you? Like really? It's like offering your hand to lion come and eat me, of course lion is not a saint to avoid the free lunch, dinner or whatever he'll eat up your entire body." Teresa jumped out of the couch and shouted.

"I know but he just wanted to protect me from Ryouma because he knew Ryouma wont have spared me because no matter what I was in the wrong. And that created the rift between two brothers." She said with guilty face.

"Just a rift? it's entire Mt.Everest built between them." Teresa signed with her hands.

"I know and every time Sam has to face Ryouma, my heart aches seeing my love in pain." She said with a trembling voice, her tears threatened to spill.

"Look what you did was right, I mean of course your life would have been hell in a loveless marriage that too with your lover's brother and that too with a demon like him. But you shouldn't have eloped. And I wouldn't have got involved in this contr-- , i mean with this demon."

"I'm sorry." She started to cry.

"Hey now don't cry. What's done is done no use crying over it! We'll have to make them patch up with each other. It's all a misunderstanding created by your stupid husband." I hugged Sara and patted her back.

She nodded.

"Let's make them meet and talk to each other." I clasped my hands together.

Sara: "I tried, but Ryouma isn't ready to listen to anything."

"We'll make him listen, either he agrees in a simple way or by tying him up no matter what he'll have to listen." I made a fist of one hand and kept it in other.

"Umm Teresa, what are you planning to do? Can't we do in a simple way?" She gulped.

"Hehe don't worry, I know what and how to do! I don't even have to get my hands dirty. hehe." I let a evil laugh.

I looked at a tensed Sara and patted her, "don't worry i'll handle him. But first he needs to learn his lesson for spoiling my birthday evening."

Flashback ends

"Yeah, you weren't telling me anything so i went and asked Sara. She told me everything but it seems to be a misunderstanding. You should talk it out with Sam." I nodded my head.

"I thought you're my friend." He looked at me as if I betrayed him.

"I am, that's why i'm telling you you need to let go of the past and move on. Hear him out once." I patted his cheek.

"Never. What's left to be heard anyway? There's no misunderstanding, I won't have believed if anyone else came and told me but he's told me everything with his own mouth." He gritted his teeth.

"Didn't I tell you not to grit loudly, you'll lose your teeth before you get old. Your brother is an idiot, well what can we expect? He's your brother after all. Idioticity runs in genes i guess."

"What do you mean by my brother?" He pointed a finger at himself.

"I mean exactly what I said. Meet him, tomorrow. I'll arrange it."

"Never."

"Okay so you want me to play a bad girl huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you are fine with me showing this to your mom and dad?" I showed him our marriage contract.

"You wont dare!"

"I may and I will if you force me. Look I've already sorted out with my dad so I can go back to home anytime but I don't think Mom and Dad will be happy about this?" I floated the contract paper in front of his eyes.

"You're blackmailing me?" he glared at me.

"You can think whatever you want. If you don't want this in between your dad's newspaper tomorrow morning, you'll go and meet Sam and sort it out with him."

"You evil witch." 😠😠

"What to do? I have reputation to keep as demon's queen. hehe." *laughs evilly* 😈😈

"Good night dear husband. You have whole night to think about it and I know you are capable enough to take a right decision." I went to bed.

Ryouma's P.O.V

Breakfast

"Dad, give me the newspaper!" I snatched the newspaper from his hands.

Dad: "Why are you after my newspaper? You have your own."

"Today I'll read yours." I faked a smile.

"But it's the same newspaper." Dad looked at me puzzled.

"Yeah so you can read mine." I gave the other newspaper.

I opened the newspaper but the contract isn't here.

I looked upstairs where my wife is laughing at me.

"There, there" she mouthed and pointed at the newspaper on dad's hands.

"On the second thought dad, you read yours." I snatched the newspaper before dad opened it.

Dad: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing dad, he just woke up in the wrong side of bed." She said coming down the stairs and laughed.

"Dad here check these papers." She handed some files to him and smirked.

"What papers?" I snatched them.

"Now you're being too much. Its office papers, which i told her to bring. Stop behaving like an idiot." Dad scolded me and took the papers back.

My wife stick her tongue out.

"You're dead!" I threatened her in a whispering tone.

She pointed at mom's direction.

"I don't care." I crossed my arms and looked to other direction.

"Okay." She shrugged.

Mom: "Hey what's this contract?"

I rushed to her and snatched the paper from her hands.

I pulled my wife and drag her to the room.

"Fine, I'll do it." I glared at her.

"Huh? I didn't hear you, a little louder?" She came a little closer.

"I'll do it." I repeated.

"And what is that?" She asked with her hands on her waist.

"I'll go and listen to whatever Sam has to say. Happy?" I told her clearly.

"That's like a good hubby!" She hugged me.

"You should have agreed in the first time, i wouldn't have to threaten you. Very good then, I'll arrange it with Sam and contact you." She took out her phone.

"Whatever." I tried to go out of the room.

"Wait!" She grabbed my hand.

"Anything else?" I glared at her.

She nodded.

I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry." She hold her ears and apologized.

"huh?" I looked at her.

"Sorry for blackmailing you and other rude words that I said in Hawaii, you know about you and Sam."

I glared at her and tried to go out of the room.

"Sorry! Sorry! hmm? hmm?" She blocked my way and said with a puppy dog's eyes.

I tried to ignore her and walk out but she wouldn't let me.

"What are you doing?" I shouted.

"I know you're angry, plus you even got scolded by dad! Sorry!" She poked me with her elbow still holding her ears.

"I'm not angry, now move or do I have to take your permission to go to the office?" I crossed my arms.

"See, you are angry. Husband, I forgave you for hurting me so many times and you can't forgive me for my 1 mistake? I forgave you without sorry and here I am singing sorry for you. You hurted me so many times 1. you left me on the road, 2....." She started to count in her fingers.

"Okay, okay I forgive you, no need to count." I holded her hands making her stop the counting.

"Really?" She jumped happily.

"Really." I nodded.

"Okay then you may go now, Have a nice day, hubby!" She waved her hands with a smile.

Geez, I can't even get angry at her. I face palmed myself and left with a smile on my face.
