Sherry

We exited the beauty salon and made our way to my vehicle, where I said, "let's go now." I quickly got into my car and rolled down the window before driving off. Jack's hands were still resting on the key to his car as he continued to wait to play.

"what? You have assured me that you will accompany me on this trip!" I looked at jack with a raised eyebrow.

Jack gave a slight shake of his head and appeared to be deep in thought as he stared at Jack with unsteady eyes while saying, "listen, you ought to go out tonight by yourself." He stated it in a calm manner.

I contracted my eyes, opened the door to my car, and placed both of my hands on top of his shoulders before continuing. "jack! Why? Why did you suddenly decide to go in a different direction? Tonight, I can't do anything without you by my side. Please." I was worried about him and informed him of it while pouting my lips and pleading with him.

He indicated his disagreement by shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head. "In point of fact, I have a feeling that a significant event will take place later on tonight. Because of this, I believe it would be best for you to side with Derek. Believe me when I say that you will need some time to yourself. The only thing that I can make out in front of my eyes right now is a very seductive woman who is going to make every man at this party drool over how stunningly beautiful she is. Trust me." It was explained to me by him. To tell you the truth, I was confused by what was being said.

However, I did honor his request, and I have faith in the judgment he displayed. He looks at me with a fixed gaze "Just do it now, and have faith in yourself. If you just have a few sips of tequila, everything will be fine." He did so right above my head.

I nodded and smiled. "I guarantee that I will be victorious tonight. Wish me luck, jack." I told Jack, and he prompted me to get into my vehicle by pushing me.

I got in my car and started driving quickly, which caused my heart rate to increase, which in turn made me go even faster. I was concerned about the events that were taking place tonight.

Nevertheless, despite the fact that Esteban and I share the same roof, I am unable to deny the fact that I have missed him a great deal. Because of how constantly busy he is, I only see him very infrequently.

The fact that he continues to call me more than ten times per day to inquire about both my well-being and the activities I am participating in during the course of each day is one of the things that brings me the greatest sense of relief. Also, my university.

Even when he was far away for extended periods of time for work or other reasons, he never forgot about me.

Every night, he gives it his best effort to fall asleep inside the house. He never takes his eyes off of me and assures me, "I'm leaving my best guards, as well as my best men and assistants, around you wherever you go." I can't risk letting my heart be broken.' Yes, he claims that I am his heart, and the only reason he is able to lead a happy life is because he tries so hard to make me content.

He never stops assuring me that his love for me surpasses that of any other woman, his wealth, or even his own existence.

But in spite of the fact that he continued to be unaware of the depth of my affection for him.

I brought the car to a halt with a loud screech in front of the gate, and then I searched for Derek using only my eyes; however, I was unable to find him anywhere. I reached into my purse and pulled out my mobile phone in order to give him a call.

He has done it once more. The call was answered after the first ring "Derek! Where are you right now?" I rolled my eyes and gave him a groan before telling him to arrive promptly. We were late.

Yes, I intended to come inside somewhat late, but not that much later than I did. My plan for tonight's activities won't be derailed by my idiocy until after the party is over, and by then it will be too late.

I didn't stop to change into something else between applying my makeup and putting on my racy dress and pricey high heels.

Not only would this be a waste of time, but also of my desire and the emotions I've been hiding.

I just want to see Esteban mad!

On the mobile phone, Derek could be heard saying, "Honey, I'm over here next to you." When I turned around, I saw him pull into the parking spot. At the opposite end of my property from my house. I motioned for him to come with me to his vehicle, and he did so.

I lowered the window in my car by rolling it down "Now is the time to open the gates. Along with me is the car that was following me. Please let him enter the building." I issued a command regarding the safety of our home.

After checking the car that was following me, he leaned in closer and whispered in a trembling tone, "miss, but—MR Esteban was strict about not letting any stranger come inside this party without an invitation." He was speaking to me in a covert manner.

My brother does indeed have the physique of a hunky, successful businessman, but his mind is more like that of a monster. The fact that everyone feared him was one of the best things about him.

Simply because I feel like that man completes my ring finger. Certainly not to that extent. But he never intentionally tries to bring me down. He never allows me to fall asleep with tears still running down my cheeks. He never failed in his efforts to make me smile and laugh.

I cocked my head to the side. "The table is set for him. I will communicate this to Esteban." I said in a loud voice to the security guard.

He made a noise in his throat. "Excuse me, Miss Sherry, but could you please tell Mr. Esteban first and ask him to inform me of those words by having them come directly from his mouth? You are aware of Mr. Esteban's strict attitude toward— "The guard was providing me with an explanation.

I yelled, "I told you that he is my guest; can't you hear me if you won't let him go inside the house right now? I will make sure to inform my brother to dismiss you from your position." I made a threat toward him.

In spite of this, I was a much worse person than my sibling. Because Esteban would comply with my request to keep this poor guard on the payroll even if he had already made up his mind to fire him.

But if I asked my brother to fire him, he would do so immediately, regardless of whether or not the security guard had broken the rules in any way.

Yes, I am constantly disobeying authority figures, and Esteban never fails to grant all of my requests.

But for the time being, all I want is one specific thing. To have as my own, my Esteban.

The security guard acknowledged my presence with a nod and a polite bow of his head "Certainly, your honor, miss Sherry. Just please don't let Mr. Esteban fire me." He pleaded with a voice that was shaking.

I smiled and nodded as I assured him, "sure, he won't thank you." After that, I laughed.

After expressing my gratitude to the security officer, I motioned for Derek to come with me. We parked our vehicles side by side with one another. Inside, there were quite a few expensive-looking automobiles. It's true that some of my brother's closest friends were extremely successful businessmen and ministers in the community.

Derek followed me. When he arrived at our home, he got out of the car and stood there in awe "wow! Wow, this is a really big deal." He spoke highly of our home.

I laughed to myself as I slammed the door of my car and drove off "yes, sure. Please make yourself at home." The fool did not even bother to notice how I looked, and he did not compliment my dress, my haircut, or my makeup in any way! He stated that he was looking forward to meeting my brother very much.

Even he, along with everyone else I talk to or date, wants a piece of my brother and to be right next to him! The answer is yes, my brother enjoys way too much notoriety and popularity. I was aware of that fact, which is perhaps the quality of Esteban that I detest the most.

I simply desired for him to belong to me and no one else. Every time a new woman enters Esteban's life, I do everything in my power to drive her away.

Even though I had asked him a million times whether or not he was going to get married soon, he used to only repeat one answer, which was that he was living just for me. This was despite the fact that I had asked him a million times.

On the other hand, I was concerned that he might become dissatisfied with his life as a bachelor at some point in the future. He will make an effort to locate a suitable partner for him.

Every single man craves the company of a beautiful woman. Every man will require offspring and will be required to maintain his own modest family.

I was well aware that Esteban couldn't devote his entire life to caring for his sister. That is completely insane!

I encircled Derek with my arms and yelled, "Stop staring at our home!" I let out a sigh and a huff.

He bared his teeth and smiled "This is not even close to a house! This place is fit for a king! For God's sake, I do envy you."

I rolled my eyes in response to his statements "Jealousy me for my abundant wealth! You are a fucking rich individual in addition to me?!" I remarked while feeling aggravated.

He gave me an awkward smile and shook his head before saying, "no, I mean for having a nice big house and a very handsome rich brother!" as he pulled me to his chest.

I creased my brow in concentration. "What exactly is going on with you right now? Esteban, my brother, is he appealing to you? Are you trying to seduce my brother despite the fact that you know I'm straight?" I gave him a little push in the chest, which caused him to stumble slightly.

He laughed so hard that he nearly lost his balance. "No, of course not; that would be absurd. I just want to talk to him in person so that I can get to know him better; who knows, maybe we can collaborate on a project after I graduate from college. You are aware that my father is successful in business, but despite that, I do not wish to follow in his footsteps. I have no intention of making use of the connections that my father has." He took the time to explain everything to me, but I was completely unconvinced by anything he had to say.

I was positive that tonight would be the last time he spent the night with me in the capacity of boyfriend. I have decided to cut him out of my life completely. I can't stand it when people take advantage of me or try to do the same to my sweet little brother.

I put on a fake grin and it was yellow "Just turn the effing thing off and quit wasting any more of my time. Let's go inside where I can introduce you to my sibling." I entered the building with self-assurance and a deliberate pace, swaying my hips to the right and left. Even though I just insulted him, Derek smiled from ear to ear as if I were complimenting the way he looked as if I were telling him how handsome he was.

Once, when we arrived at the pool party, all of the lights turned on us, and once, my heart dropped all the way to the bottom of my feet. It never occurred to me that Esteban would be seen embracing a sultry woman in front of the other guests while holding hands with her. To add insult to injury! There were quite a few reporters present.

Okay! What the actual fuck is going on around these parts?!
