Brothers - Episode 16

Raymond walked into the terrace where Isabel was hugging herself with tears in her eyes

"I can't do it Raymond...I don't even know what to do?" she said then turned to look at him, her eyes were swollen with tears, he glanced back at the sitting room then closed the door and came towards her

"What do you want to do?" he asked fearing her reply as she stared at him

"I can't marry him Raymond.." she said "I do not love him"

"Then don't" he took her hand in his "you don't have to do anything you do not want to do" he pulled her to him "besides I can't live with the fact that you'll be my sister in law"

she moved away from him "Then what's going to happen, what are my options if I say no ."she turned and held his gaze"if I break up with him? "

They had not really talked about the serious implications of their actions, he'd just always told her he wanted her for himself but were they going to date, were they going to get married, she needed to know?

He shrugged his shoulders and sighed

"I don't know.."He said

She paused "What.."

"I've thought about it, there's no future for us Is...what are we gonna do..get married?" he roved his face"I love you, but that would be awkward if you think about it"

Isabel'd reached and slapped him across the face, then left him there and went back in, she went in the room with Richard following but she slammed the door at his face and locked it, he knocked

"Come on babe, you acting weird..what's going on?"

She didn't reply just laid on the bed and sobbed, she felt used and stupid , what did she think would happen, that Raymond would marry her, she realised he was a better player than Richard because he had used her and also still had Jessica to do with as he pleased, she had lost everything in the little game they were playing but knew he was going to pay for that, she stood up and opened the door for Richard...

"I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.." she said when Richard finally got in

"What's happened babe.."

Amidst tears she told him,  he didnt let her finish, Richard went to meet his brother and gave the first blow which Raymond successfully dodged but got the second one to his left eye, Raymond gave his own punch back but Richard was like one incensed with anger , they were soon both sprawled on the floor fighting, Jessica tired to separate not knowing what the cause was but in vain, the brothers were bent on killing each other, Richard was pained and in tears, they finally pulled apart

"You did this to me.?" Richard said pointing to himself "...I'm gonna kill you..mark my words" he pointed at him, Raymond was trying to catch his breath

"No hard feelings man it was just sex.."

Richard tried to move towards him again but thought better of it, he d deal with him in other ways

"Guess we are not done fighting over toys" Raymond said and spat out blood, he smirked "it was worth every damn blow"

Richard clenched his fist controlling himself as he glared at his brother with hate

"What..you've been doing it to her but its not okay when she does it to you?" he taunted more

"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Jessica shouted going crazy with the tension

"What's happening Richard?"Jessica asked, Richard looked at her and remembered she was there, his heart was pounding at the same time in pieces..

He panted "You didn't know did you..guess you were smart enough to suspect.

. "he paused, finding it hard to believe it "He's been sleeping with my girlfriend... Isabel"he bit out

Jessica opened her mouth in shock then looked at Raymond and walked out, Richard pointed at his brother

"This isn't over" he went back in the room where Isabel was still crying, he sat on the bed and nursed his bruised lips which was bleeding and swollen, he couldn't look at Isabel, he then stood up and began packing his things, Isabel's sobs increased

"I'm so sorry Richard.."she knelt on the bed" I really am so sorry "

He didn't reply or look at her.. he took the bag and went out of the room, she wondered where he was going that late in the night

Jessica walked in the room "You crazy bitch..guess I should have known you were the green snake sleeping with my man, your such a two timing whore" Isabel sniffed in" two brothers?, Omg..I'm not even  gonna do anything to you, I just hope you live  and die with the guilt" she walked away, her eyes dried with tears

Raymond was in the room, he had a black eye from the punch his brother gave him, he didn't look up when she walked in

"We need to talk.."he began

"No we need to talk.. We are done Raymond, I'm leaving first thing in the morning.. I hope you have a nice life"

He stared at her"you can't be serious "

"Oh yeah, because I'm not yelling?...Isabel, my supposed friend, your brother's girlfriend, are you sick or something"

"I love her okay..there's nothing I could have done"he said standing up, she went and kicked him hard on the shin, he shouted and hopped

" you are despicable and wicked.. I thought your brother was worse, you are a demon"she dragged the blanket and pillow and went out of the room, while Raymond sighed and roved his face then winced from his swollen cheek, he held it then decided to go get ice, he limped to the kitchen and got it, pressed it in, he leaned on the counter and sighed in relieve,

"Crazy woman" he said into the dark..he hadn't seen Isabel, and didn't know what he would do now, everyone was acting crazy..he was sure they all hated each other now.. He decided he was going to leave first thing in the morning too, he had his company to focus on even, he and Isabel would sort themselves out.. besides she was no longer working in the hospital that should make it easier...Jessica could go too, his eyes widened as he realised, he had become his brother.

*aww, so sad, what's gonna happen to the couples now, Is Richard going to take Isabel back?

Hmm...has Raymond become the villian?
