Chapter 336


    336 Acknowledging Piper


    “You’re bold now, huh?” Maverick asked nonchntly. 1


    “I-“Piper shrank her neck. She had forgotten who she had been talking to. She only wanted to defend


    her boyfriend. 1


    “Sorry,” she apologized with her head lowered.


    “What for?” Maverick raised his book and continued to read.


    “For crossing the line,” she bit her lower lip.


    “Was there a line?” He slowly flipped a page.


    “I-“Piper didn’t know what else to say, so she kept quiet.


    “Why are you here?” Maverick asked calmly.


    “To beg you, big brother.“”


    Maverick raised a brow. “Oh?”


    Piper got up and went on her knees, catching Jeslyn and Brian’s attention.


    Maverick slowly closed his book and nced at Piper before shifting his face to Jeslyn who was ring


    at him.


    “Big brother, I ept all my life, I have craved to be loved by the elders in my life but my dad and mom


    weren’t emotionally avable. When I found out that you and Rex were my older brothers, I was excited


    and thought that I could get the love of my older brothers but I was wrong.


    “Out of desperation, my love for you became an obsession. I hated every woman who you showed little


    attention.


    “A few years ago, I killed a co–star because she kept bullying me. She bragged to my face that she


    shared a hug with Rex. Another time, she said that you saved her from falling into a pool at a party.


    She also sent ahead and mocked me with it at a high–end party, announcing that she gained things I


    would never get in my life.


    “Big brother, I was angered but I kept it in. However, she used Rex’s influence to steal my role. I didn’t


    do anything to her until she asked the director to make me her maid in the movie.” She looked up.


    pitifully at her older brother as her eyes sparkled with tears.


    “Big brother, I was supposed to be the female lead, but that girl insulted me, she stepped on my pride


    several times, both in public and private. I swallowed and didn’t do anything until I heard her telling her


    Assistant that she wants to be your woman, but before then, she’ll kill Valen. I couldn’t let her live


    anymore, so I killed her.”


    Her eyes met Maverick’s cold eyes for a few seconds before she lowered her head and continued.


    “I thought you’d be angry at me, so I framed her Assistant for her death. The Assistant wasn’t a good


    person either, she was in on the n.”


    Maverick continued to look at her without uttering a word.


    “When Jeslyn just came to the Country, I also wanted to kill her. I sent people to bomb the ne she


    took but my people were a minute toote…”


    Jeslyn and Brian frowned deeply but didn’t interfere.


    Piper–turned to face Jeslyn and kowtowed three times. “I’m very sorry, Jeslyn. I was wrong to have


    hatched the n to kill you. I was jealous that you were able to gain my brother’s attention. I was also


    scared that you would mock me with it.


    “Please forgive me. I’m a changed person now,” she pleaded with Jeslyn.


    Jeslyn sighed. “I forgive you because you owned up to your wrong and also killed the woman who


    wanted my son out of the way.”


    “Thank you so much,” she turned back to Maverick.


    “Big brother, I have confessed all of my wrong deeds, please forgive me.”


    “Have you?” Maverick finally spoke after a long time.

    “Ye-” she paused when she remembered her greatest sin. Her eyes widened and shot a look at


    Maverick. “Y–you knew?!”


    Maverick ignored her and shifted his gaze to the book in his hand. He opened the book and started


    reading again.


    Piper looked around her and shut her eyes. This is the most embarrassing thing that she had ever


    done in her life, still, she’ll confess it in the presence of her boyfriend and sister–inw.


    Piper balled her hands into tight fists as she bit her lips. It would be disastrous if she told them she


    used to fantasize about her older brother. How could she tell them she used to love her brother in the


    wrong way?


    “I- I was wrong, I’m sorry. I’m too ashamed to say it out loud.” Teardrops slowly fell from her eyes as


    she knelt there with her head lowered.


    Maverick ced his book down and got up. He stood in front of her and stretched out one hand to


    Piper with the second hand in his shorts pocket.


    Piper’s eyes widened when she saw the hand in front of her. She immediately grabbed it and he helped


    pull her to stand on her feet.


    Standing face to face with her brother, words failed Piper and she broke into hot tears. Her dream is


    finally here! Her oldest brother finally epted her! Oh God!


    As her shoulders shook from her silent tears, Maverick could feel the hot gaze on him. His wife was


    getting angry.


    He snaked his hand behind Piper’s head and gently pushed the back of her head to rest her forehead


    on his chest.


    Emotions overwhelmed Piper and shepletely broke down as she hugged Maverick’s bare chest


    with her hands on his waist.


    Piper who had fantasized about her brother for years and had lots of weird imaginations of how sexy he


    looked and all didn’t have any abominable feelings as was in her brother’s arms.


    It seemed that she was never in love with her brother in the first ce.


    Piper never thought she could be forgiven. She knew she was wrong, she knew she wasn’t supposed


    to think of her brother the way she did. Her actions cannot be justified for whatever reason. But she


    was d that she could be redeemed. 1


    Now, she has realized that the feeling of having Maverick as her brother like it should, was far better


    than her sinful thoughts over the years.
