Lethal Bride - Season 1 - Episode 21

☆☆☆☆
BRUCE

Brian noticed his stare “do I
look out of place?”. Easton
shook his head “no you
don’t”. Crystal wasn’t in any way finding this funny. She wondered if Bruce came back
from the dead to haunt them.

she never believed in ghost or
any thing related to the after
world, but with what she was seeing , she believed.

If this wasn’t Bruce then it had
to be his twin, but she
remembered him say that the
guy she killed at the club was
his only family. She watched Easton and noticed how he concealed his shock like a pro.

Brian winked at her and faced
Easton “your girlfriend is really
something” “explain”
“I mean she is drop dead
gorgeous”
“oh thank you, but she isn’t
my girlfriend, she’s just like a
sister to me”. Brian smiled. “then in that case, a brother is interested”. Crystal gave him the “don’t you dare” look and
folded her arms.

Easton cleared his throat and sipped
from the glass in his hand, “well, errrrrr, I could allow her keep you company this
night, when I say this night I
mean in this casino and not on
your bed”. There was an
awkward silence for few seconds until Brian looked at the straight faced Crystal, “so
shall we?”, she looked at Easton “you really do permit this”,

“yep”, she pulled him aside “how can I possibly chat with the man I murdered? Every
time I look at him I see bullets
flying into his head and it makes me sick, please don’t do this”, Easton placed his hand on her shoulder “look,
just pretend everything is fine
and get to know him, it might
just be a look alike or a sibling
who knows nothing of us killing Bruce, it happens all the time, so don’t freak out, take
a deep breath and have a beautiful evening, don’t worry my eyes are
everywhere nothing bad will
happen to you. And make sure every discussion should be right here, do you
understand?” she nodded and
walked towards Brian.

“I see you have a very
protective big brother, I wouldn’t blame him, you are like a goddess and every man
with blood flowing in his veins would want to have a piece of you”. She smiled.

He stretched his hand she took it then turned back to look at Easton, he gave her the ok
sign and resumed his fun.

Brian took her away from the crowded side, he spotted an empty couch and he led her to it, they both sit simultaneously. She looked
really tense and couldn’t look
at him in the eye, he noticed
this and smiled with the
corner of his mouth, “I don’t bite miss, loosen up and be free, it’s just going to be a
conversation and not an interrogation”

“I am not tensed, I really
don’t like the casino that much”
“okay then, I could take you
to a different place, but we
have to take your big
brother’s permission”. She
remembered Easton’s instruction. “nope, I will be fine here”

“ok then, if you say so. But
come to think of it, Easton
your supposed big brother
readily allowed you to spend an evening with a strange person, is that how much he
trust’s people”

“believe me when I say this,
for him to allow you spend
the evening with me shows there is something
tremendously different about
you. Tell me about yourself”

“why don’t you start first”
“I asked first”.
“alright”. He started talking about himself, she watched
him and saw Bruce in him. He
stopped talking and looked at
her “why are you looking at
me in a funny way. She
regained herself and blinked severally “ sorry I got carried away, I noticed you didn’t
talk about your family”

“oh yea, there is nothing much to talk about on that aspect” “are you a twin”, suddenly an aura of sadness came over
him, “I was a twin but not
anymore, we found his body
in his apartment and that was
after my elder brother died. We never really got along up to our adulthood, we didn’t
even speak to each other , he
hated my guts and I hated his.

That was really strange for
twins, I know most twins always have a bond but ours’ was different, we fought
over every little thing. When
he died that’s when I knew I
loved him, sometimes I wish I
had the power to control time. I would take it to when we were little and start all
over again”

A pang of guilt hit her, but
she didn’t allow it to show.

“I’m sorry to hear that. What was his name?”

“his name was Ben,
Benjamin”. She realized Bruce
lied about his name.

“I think he was involved in a
shady deal and that got him killed, Benjamin had always been the lawless one”.
“I’m sorry for you loss” she
simply said “okay enough about me, tell
me about yourself” “well, I …….” Her cell phone beeped, she took it out of her
purse and saw a message from Easton telling her to meet him by the car. She
sprang up “it was nice knowing you Brian”
He looked confused “you are
already leaving?. Can I have
your contact atleast”. She
shook her head “no you can’t
and this might be the last time we see”. With that she took
quick strides out of the casino.
She met Easton holding a stick
of cigarette in his hand and
puffing out smoke from his
mouth slowly. “so what did you find out?”
“ first of all he is not Bruce, he
is Bruce twin and again Bruce
lied to me about his name, his
real name was Benjamin”

“okay that’s relieving” “so what do we do?”
“what do you mean by what
do we do?, you simply stay
away from Brian and let the
chapter end”

“alright”. “let’s go home”. Easton got
behind the wheels as she
hopped into the car, she was
eager to leave. Bruce,

Benjamin, Brian, whatever,
she was leaving the B family behind.


Easton inhaled the air and for the first time he
perceived the cologne she wore
“what cologne is that?, it
smells really good” “oh, thank you, I am wearing a Clive Christian Imperial
Majesty , a fragrance made for
royalty alone”.

“that’s way too expensive
Crystal” “well, it’s my money I do
what I want to do with it,
what’s really expensive is
talking to the twin of the
man we killed, that’s
expensive”. Easton turned to her and smiled
“but you concealed your
emotions properly”

“yea right”. She relaxed more
on the chair as they zoomed
off towards home.
