Masks Of Love

Chapter 20

Bree didn"t stop crying just because she heard someone coming. Instead she smiled between the tears because she knew it was her uncle that came. Bree ran into her uncle"s arms. Her uncle knew that as soon as he will hold her in his arms she would stop crying. They stood like that for hours, not saying a word. When their legs started to give up, they walked back to the swing, sat down as her uncle pulled the blanket over them since it got cold. Even though their stomach started to grumble saying to them: "we want food, feed us", they just sat there without caring about their hunger. When Bree finally fell asleep with her head on her uncle shoulder, her uncle slowly lifted her up not wanting to wake her from her sleep. It took him a few minutes to reach her room since it was a little hard for him to open the house doors with him caring her. His arms started to hurt as soon as he reached her door which he opened with great difficulty because of that. It was a fool moon tonight and the moon lighted the room so he didn"t had to turn on the lights. He couldn"t hold her anymore when he reached her bed dropped her on it, praying she won"t wake up from the fact he dropped her on the bed. Seeing that Bree didn"t woke up, he smiled as he took her shoes off from her feet, covered her with the blanket, and thought to himself: "I need to become stronger, or else I won"t be able to carry you anymore. What should I do? I"m too lazy to go to gym. Oh, well I will think about something some other time, now I have to take care of that problem first." As he turned around to walk outside the room he took his phone from his trouser"s pocket he dialed a number:

- Come to my room. This instant.

A few moments later, a knock was heard on the door. It was James who after receiving his uncle call went to his room. He knew that his uncle must be really angry because of what happened with Bree. The first words his uncle said to him were:

- Call your lawyer first thing on the morning.

- My lawyer? Why? Uncle, you know you can"t sue him. The fact that he has a fiancee is not a reason for doing that.

- I know.

- Then why?

- I want to sell the building.

- Uncle, but it"s your building. You told me not to let Bree find out that you"re the real owner of the building, and made me told her that I"m the owner.

- James, I don"t want that guy working in the same place as Bree. I don"t want to see her hurt each day when she sees him at the office. I"m sure you agree with me.

- Yes, but...

He didn"t manage to finish what he wanted to say, when his uncle interrupted him:

- Do you want to see her depressed?

- No, but...

- No but... I know that you plan to marry Irene. I"m okay with that. Since she punched her brother because of Bree, she is welcomed to become a part of our family. Him not. So, after you marry her make sure he doesn"t come to our family gatherings. I don"t want him in our house, especially near Bree. You don"t have to worry about Irene loosing her job, or the other people that work in the company. Just have your lawyer notify the employees that they will be moving to another building and to keep a secret from him. The reason... you think about one.


- Alright, uncle. I will do as you say.

- Okay. Now go. It"s late. Good night James.

- Good night uncle.

As soon as James walked out his room James whispered as he clenched his fists:

- No one is allowed to hurt my niece. Absolutely no one. Even if she doesn"t want to take revenge on him, if he is gonna keep hurting Bree, I will destroy him, no matter what.Please go to to read the latest chapters for free
