William's heartbeat became faster feeling anxiety inside of him, 'so she's going to shoot me with a gun? He never knew his sister would do such a cruel betrayal towards him.
His Blue eyes gaze at Vanessa, as the wind blows through the room flowing through his light brown hair. He could barely open his lips to answer Vanessa but he couldn't. Finally, he spoke up,
"Vanessa... You can't just pull a gun in front of me, you're being ridiculous right now just to let me choose sides"
"I can't believe you would do this to me, your brother... Your own family... You can't just do that to me! You need to stop this now..." He said in a serious tone, gazing down at Vanessa.
"Vanessa I mean it..."
—silence—
Vanessa's hand which is holding a gun in front of William's eye, was trembling. She suddenly throws the gun down as it shatters into pieces like glass, feeling frustrated by William's words, she couldn't understand why her brother didn't understand her.
She just wanted to shoot him in the eye without care, but she can't because it's her brother. 'what was gone into me... Why am I trying to kill my brother, I have gone crazy. She didn't know what to say and kneeled on the floor as she looked down on the ground, sudden tears falling through her eyes.
William was suddenly startled by her hesitant from shooting her, he was glad that she had listened once. Or is she?
Vanessa clenches her dress while looking down. Feeling frustrated by William, she couldn't bear to kill her brother. She doesn't want to kill him but wants his loyalty instead, she couldn't understand why is she doing this but she can't help to be controlled and advantageous by her desire.
Silence...
"I... I'm sorry brother..." She cries out, looking at him with her glossy brown eyes at his.
William felt a bang of pain inside of him and crouched at her.
"I understand... But don't do that to me again..."
"I just don't want you to get in trouble alright, especially your desires that take you down."
"I need to go now... We could talk about this after" he said softly.
William stands up straight, as he fixes his military uniform and puts his cap on. He leaves Vanessa kneeling on the floor, the shattered pieces from the gun scattered around the floor.
William left without a second word to her, he knew he was powerless to stop Vanessa's behavior,
Vanessa's expression darkens as she watches William leave, and a feeling of anger crept up into her. How could he just leave me like this? Is he just going to leave me like this REALLY!?
She decided to shake her brother's words and continue her plan, this time she would not let anyone block her way this time. She doesn't care anymore how it will be but her pride will always be high.
She'll never change... And NEVER will... She grins cruelly feeling amused and angry towards her brother.
No wonder he's different than me, he would be someone who will easily fall into someone's trap and their lies.
William has grown into a military officer whom he will be titled by their father, but that title and responsibilities have passed to her since William chose to be s military officer instead.
Besides, he is loyal, kind and noble, while she's a cruel noblewoman who put up a sweet and kind facade towards people.
Perhaps, a person who would follows their desires like her, even if it will led the person get hurt or distress.
Vanessa's desires were unstoppable. Nothing could deter her, not even a concerted effort to thwart her plans...
