She and Caleb left for Greece for their honeymoon right after their wedding reception. And this was the first time we were talking since that day.

“Yeah, it’s amazing. How are your days going there?” I kept my voice as chirpy as I could.

“It’s going great! Even though we’re spending most of our time in the bed. The views are amazing. I totally fell in love with this place!” She giggled.

As envious as it sounded, I wished Ace and I could go somewhere far from here, just the two of us. Away from all the tensions and threats. Though he was planning a vacation for us, with all the things going on, I didn’t think it was possible now.

Caleb’s always happy face appeared beside my sister.

“Hey, Achilles’s Rosebud! What’s up? My cousin is treating you good in my absence, right?”

I smiled. “I’m good. And don’t worry, he’s pampering me too much for my own good.” Well, except for his behavior last night. But I’d blame his situation for that. “And what about you? You better treat my sister well in my absence, mister. Otherwise, you’ll find me chasing you all around the Greece soon.”

Letting out a laugh, he kissed Tess’s temple. “Oh, though I’m not as romantic as Achilles, I’m trying my best. Ain’t I, baby?” His puppy eyes fell on my blushing sister.

“You’re doing great,” she whispered.

I cleared my throat, getting both of their attention back.

“Don’t ruin my morning, guys. I can talk to you later if you need some privacy,” I teased.

Caleb awkwardly scratched the back of his head, grinning sheepishly while Tess grew red.

“No need!” She pushed Caleb away from the camera. “You go get something for me to eat. I’m hungry. Let me talk to my sister.”

Grumbling, he complained about how bossy she was and walked away. Tess turned back to me. A serious look etched onto her face.

“What’s wrong, Em? Your eyes are not as chirpy as your voice sounds. Is everything all right?”

My smile dropped. The dark circles under my eyes and dull appearance said it all.

“Nothing. Just didn’t get much sleep last night.”

“Don’t lie to me. Tobias called me to tell what’s happening there. What happened that he left like that? Has he returned yet?”

Along with Carter, I also sought my brother’s help. But I got no luck in it too.

I shook my head, my shoulders slumped. “He didn’t. We had a little argument last night. And he just… snapped.”

Her brows furrowed, disbelief flashed across her blue orbs. “He got mad at you?”

I shrugged. “It was my fault. I pushed him too much.”

“Is it about Warner? Because the only thing that can get him mad at you is his jealousy.”
