Anita Brown stared hatefully at her phone, scrolling through her TikTok feed, then her instagram. They were everywhere, and it infuriated her so bad she could feel the bile rise to her throat.

Ethan always hated the press, he hated the paparazzi, he hated how odd and awkward he claimed to look even though he looked seemingly flawless. He hated his privacy invaded so they were hardly ever in public together. They hardly went to functions together, parties or even the red carpet but right now he had no problems showing Emily off, taking her publicly to fancy restaurants, playing happy couple when it should have been her.

Ethan had totally been ignoring her, even after she had requested for one last night with him, had totally ignored her and evaded all her calls and it made her livid. She wanted him back, Ethan was hers and she’d do anything to have him back, especially after everything she had sacrificed for him.

Anita sat cross legged in her office, her long blonde hair straight down her back as she stood up making a quick phone call

“I need to go to Hatton Tech” she said quickly walking out her office to the waiting car parked just in front of her father’s company where she worked as the Chief Financial Officer in charge of all finances within the company, she made sure the company didn’t go broke.

She stepped into the backseat of the car opened by her newly employed chauffeur after she had had to let previous one go following the previous incident that went terribly wrong. She hated the new one, he was slow at best.

Arriving at Hatton Tech, she walked through with her head held up high, her back straight, one leg in front of the other like she owned the place and she made a bee line to Ethan’s office. Getting there she met Jackson heading out and he stopped in his tracks when he saw her, his eyes narrowing suspiciously

“Anita” he said, approaching her with a conscious look on his face.

“Jackson” she called back, baring a smile “Been a while”

“What are you doing here?” He asked her

“Looking for Ethan” she said

“He’s not here”

“Of course” Anita rolled her eyes, “Gallivanting round the city with that….”

“Hey!” Jackson cut in immediately “Emily’s part of our family now” he defended and Anita looked at him in a new light, moving closer now as she studied him closely.

“I know what you did Anita, or better still what you tried to do to Emily”

“Enlighten me dear Jackson” she urged, a sly smirk playing on her face, but when Jackson was about to speak she cut in immediately

“You’re in love with her, aren’t you?” She said suddenly and Jackson paused

“What?”

“Oh don’t play dumb darling, it’s the classic love triangle story. Two brothers and a damsel in distress” she moved closer to him, their bodies nearly touching and her minty breath on his face as she held on to his perfectly knotted tie, silky yet strong giving her hands perfect leverage to his neck but she played around, her acrylic nails tickling the bob of his Adams apple.

“Anita” Jackson warned, grabbing hold of her hands and staring deep into her cunning eyes but she held his stare, unwavering and unafraid. Truly, she matched his ego and his confidence.

“You want her Jackson, and I want him” she ran her hands through his silky ginger hair, Jackson following her eyes and hands, wary of her move. She was jezebel herself and Jackson knew it, she was rich and powerful enough to bend things to her will, he wasn’t scared but he was cautious, she was just as cunning and just as manipulative. He wasn’t cautious for his sake, he wanted to protect Emily.

“That’s not a problem for me, but it is for you so I don’t get my involvement in all this” he said.

“I’ve tried to play nice Hatton junior, I’m tired of being nice and patient so here’s the deal. I came here to talk to Ethan but since I found you first, I have something better planned”

Jackson stayed silent urging her to speak and she continued

“You know Ethan is gallivanting round New York with the woman you love, doesn’t that bother you?” She asked him, piercing almond eyes manipulative at best

“Get to the point faster Anita” Jackson said now, a confused look on his face.

“If I can’t get one Hatton brother, I want the other one”

“What are you on about now Anita, I swear to God you’re always yapping on about something. I don’t have time for this ” Jackson turned to leave but Anita held him back by his sleeves.

“Me, you a fake relationship” she said now and Jackson chuckled mockingly.

“You attention seeking Barbie, what the hell is that going to solve now?”

Anita was about to speak when Jackson suddenly grabbed her by her arm, tightly causing her to wince a bit but her eyes didn’t falter, she didn’t lower her gaze.

“I don’t have time for your bullshit Anita, I have a banquet dinner to plan. I don’t give a damn what you want with Ethan, you stay away from me, and you stay away from Emily, and if I ever see you around here again, I swear to God Anita I’ll fucking kill you” he whispered the last part but fiercely, forcing the intensity of his words into her and he let go of her hand suddenly she stumbled on her heels before walking away and Anita fumed, her eyes clouded with fury but she only heard one thing.

Banquet dinner, he was in charge that year. She remembered the previous years of Ethan being in charge and how stressed and meticulous he used to be about it. The banquet dinner was a big deal to the Hatton family and she she smiled cunningly.

“You’re going to pay Jackson junior, for laying your hands on me”
