23. Who likes the most!

Author's POV

Arthur took his time to process the information. Garry was looking at them shocked, Noah entered at the same time.

It was now confirmed that two brothers were going to clash.

Arthur chuckled like he has heard some disgusting joke.

"You like her?"

He mocked.

"Stop this fucking joke because you are not always funny..."

Oliver gritted madly, he wasn't playing this time.

"I am not fucking joking, Arthur... Arabella is mine."

He declared.

"Fuck!"

Garry cursed silently.

Arthur closed his eyes and clenched his jaw in disgust.

"This is not possible."

"Why, because she is a minor?"

He mocked.

"No because you hurt her when you first met her."

Arthur growled.

"You kidnapped her, don't think I won't find out about your doings."

"You only know those things which I wanted people to know."

Oliver replied with a scowl.

"Do you know what happened in between? No!"

Arthur was boiling from inside. It was hard for him to even process that his brother likes the same girl.

"She is not your toy. You can't play with her like you do with other girls."

"I never played with anyone and Arabella is not a toy."

Oliver shook his head and Arthur didn't like the confidence in his voice.

"And why do you even care? It's my problem."

"Because I fucking like her... Arabella is mine!"

Arthur declared.

Oliver was taken back by his confession. He looked confused for a second and burst out laughing.

"It's a disgusting joke, Arthur... Stop this nonsense!"

"I am not fucking joking!"

Arthur spat.

"I fell for her at first sight."

"I did too."

Oliver replied sharply.

"I am obsessed"

"Not more than me!"

Arthur snapped back.

"She is mine!"

"Back off, Arthur. You don't want to fight with me on this topic, trust me!"

He warned.

"It's time for you to back off because I am not giving up... Find someone else, she is out of your league."

Arthur threatened.

"Guys!"

Noah and Garry tried to pull them back when they grabbed each other's throats. They know that if brothers starts fighting then they won't stop until one of them is dead and there is no way to stop them.

"Arthur leave him!"

Garry pulled him away.

"Oliver, stop!"

Noah pulled Oliver away.

"You found the same girl which I wanted... Get a fucking life, Arthur."

He cursed.

"Why do you always have to claim things which I like? Oliver, this is not any fucking deal. I like that girl."

Arthur growled back.

"I met her first!"

Oliver stated.

"She talked to me first, I didn't have to force her."

Arthur smirked.

Oliver gritted.

"I took a bullet for her."

"She choose to work with me. Willingly!"

Arthur mocked.

"She cares about my wound."

Oliver snapped back.

"She smiles with me!"

Arthur was proud.

"My side is heavier than yours. Better if you give up."

"Still you made her maid. That shows how much you care for her."

He mocked.

"Let's fight... The one who wins, gets the girl!"

"Fine!"

Arthur agreed.

Noah and Garry shook their head.

"No!"

Noah stopped them.

"You two can't fight without supervision of your mother. If you decide to do it then I have to inform your mother about it, sorry!"

"Let's ask the girl what she wants."

Garry suggested.

"Ask her with whom she is more comfortable."

"Don't drag her in this mess!"

Oliver and Arthur said in unison, Garry stepped back from them cautiously. They looked too scary when they raised voice for her.

"Guys, I am not going to ask her directly. Just few questions which will clear out her thoughts."

He assured.

"I'll be careful, I promise!"

"Let him try!"

Noah agreed.

"Guys, you are knight brothers. You can't fight over a girl."

They both agreed after few more minutes of arguments and Garry called Arabella down. She came downstairs fiddling her nervous fingers. She has no idea what was going on but her heart was racing after watching both brothers at same place. Both look similar and equally dominating. She never felt so anxious.

"Arabella, don't be nervous... We just need answers to some of the questions so we can solve the problem which has come up unexpectedly."

Garry smiled nervously.

"You are new here so you will be unbiased, we believe!"

He tried to play with words.

She couldn't understand what was he talking about but still nodded.

"O_Okay!"

"Please sit if you want. You look uncomfortable."

Noah offered her chair but she shook her head and decided to stand.

"So, you have met both of them..."

He started.

"Who is more scary?"

She gulped when he asked that, she looked at both of them nervously.

"It's okay, kitten... You can answer without fear. No one's gonna hurt you."

Oliver assured.

"Yeah, Dove... I'll make sure if that."

Arthur gritted while looking at Oliver.

But both of them were nervous while waiting for her answer.

Arabella thought about it. Both of them have slaughtered people mercilessly in front of her.

"B_Both?"

She whispered.

Garry sighed.

"Who's more dominating?"

She thought about it.

Oliver has playfully troubled her but Arthur has also shown his dominating side by ordering her around so both were equal.

"Both!"

"Fine! Who is more caring?"

Noah questioned.

Hopefully she could have the answer which will be name of the one brother only and not both.

Arabella remembers Oliver taking bullet for her, treating her wound, feeding her, not torturing her, just like Arthur gave her charity, treated her feet, gave her shoes and etc. she couldn't choose one.

"Both!"

Noah groaned frustrated.

"Excellent!.. Who is more approachable?"

She has approached Arthur before but she would have done the same if she would have met Oliver in different situation. Right now she fears both of them so she couldn't select anyone. Oliver also scared her and after that night, she is scared of Arthur too.

"None!"

Her voice shook with fear.

"Arabella, don't be nervous. You are fine!"

Garry assured.

"You are doing good!.. If you have to choose working for one of them then who it would be? Arthur or Oliver?"

Arthur and Oliver waited for her answer. Everyone's eyes were on her and she was shaking in anxiety.

"Answer it!"

Noah tried to encourage her and she opened her mouth.
