Torn Between Twin Brothers - Chapter 59

“WHAT?!!!” Asked Daniel, Ramon, and Alex simultaneously, eyes as wide as saucers while holding their breath.

Tanaga, who was listening quickly on the side, started grinning from ear to ear as he watched the three prominent men acting like gossip mongers. One was a President of the country, two were Kings of their own countries. They all looked so funny that he couldn’t help himself from grinning.

Jeff stopped for a moment and leaned back, took a sip of his scotch on the rocks while looking at the three men waiting for him to continue with the story.

Jeff played a little with his glass, teasing the two Kings and the President.

“Jeff, I swear if you don’t continue your story…” Alex said, practically threatening him already.

“What? What are you going to do?” He bantered while grinning from ear to ear.

“We will tell you to your wife; let’s see how she handles you!” Ramon interjected while his finger was pointing at Jeff. He then turned to Tanaga. “You too!!!” His voice was very commanding.

Tanaga raised his hands. “Whoa! Why am I included? Jeff’s the one telling the story. I have nothing to do with it.” He then leaned back to his chair and ignored the trio.

Jeff had enough of playing with them and sat up with his back straight. “Alright! The finale. When we introduced them to each other, my princess, holding her masterpiece, stood right in front of James, as cute as she could be, ready to give him her precious gift.”

“Then suddenly James bent down and whispered something to Ava. The next thing we knew was that she was running to her room crying and would not come out at all after that. That was the end of the story from my side, the rest Tanaga would need to tell you.” Jeff finished, waiting for Tanaga to continue after his last word.

===

The trio now turned their attention to Tanaga, who was sitting there quietly, and it looked like he didn’t want to continue.

“Ahhh! Alright, James told poor Ava that she needed to lose her baby fat and that he wasn’t interested in her no matter what. There! My son was incredibly rude! But, he was only eight years old then, so you guys could understand, right?” Tanaga said, trying to justify James’s wrongdoing at that time.

The trio shook their heads in unison.

“Nah… That wasn’t right. It didn’t matter that he was young. You don’t bully your future wife just because you don’t want her. So what happened after that?” Asked Daniel seriously. He didn’t know that this had happened. Andrea never said anything to him.

“Yea! What happened after that?” Followed Alex, who also had no idea, and Alexa had never said anything to him either.

Jeff decided to finish the story, “Well, we decided to just let mother nature take its course. If they’re meant to be, then they will be together in the end. If they’re not, then who knows… We have other children anyway. As long as we become one family one way or the other, it’s fine. So, cheers!” Jeff raised his glass, and everyone followed.

“CHEERS!!!” Everyone shouted simultaneously.

It was agreed upon by all the parents that they would let the girls have one villa of their own while the boys would have one as well. However, since Ashton was a famous personality, it would be hard for him to be recognized if he wanted to come out to the public area. Therefore, Ashley had to do something.

Luckily, Sato arrived with his entourage. He was tasked to do a make-over for Ashton to look exactly like his twin brother. They colored his hair black, made him wear eyeglasses, and changed his wardrobe to the same things as what James often wears. Once the make-over was done, James and Ashton were as identical as they could be.

They wanted to test it out if people would be able to recognize him. So Ashton and James wore similar articles of clothing of different colors, went to the hotel’s lobby, and walked around the shops.

One thing they didn’t realize was that both of them were good-looking, and seeing two identical stunning young men attracted a lot of onlookers. Girls that would pass by would turn their heads and look back before gasping for air.

“Oh, my God! They’re so handsome! And there are two of them.” One of the passersby told her friend, who was equally fascinated with the twins.

“I know, right! It’s too bad that they look like they’re not adults yet, or I would surely try my best to snag one or even both of them.” Bantered the other passerby to her friend as they continued walking.

James was unhappy with the situation. But, unfortunately, he had no say in the matter. His brother was famous, and there was nothing he could do about that. The truth was that he has been going incognito and has been trying to look as different as he can from Ashton since EXODUS debuted so that people will not approach him thinking that he was Ashton.

He was doing fine until now. Now that there were two of them, they were attracting people left and right. He decided to separate from Ashton. “You go that way; I’ll go this way. If we walk around together, we will get people’s attention, just like those women.” He reasoned to Ashton before leaving him as fast as he could.

Ashton didn’t mind, but he decided to follow when he saw the direction James was heading.

The girls were busy trying on their ball gowns created by Andrea with the help of Sato and their assistants. First, they need to make sure that everything fits perfectly. Each creation was different and unique to make sure each of the girls had their own designs.

The girls’ villa was bustling with people running around. Chupsy was the one guarding the door when James arrived. He politely greeted her, “Hello, Ms. Chupsy. Are the girls busy?” His face was void of any emotion while speaking.

“Yes, they’re trying on their ball gowns, and it will be a while before they finish. I don’t think you would want to be in there right now..” Her face was solemn as she gave him the advice to come back later.
