Bound by Blood
A day that pretended to be normal
Evan met Liam in the morning like planned.
They didn't do anything big, just small things.
Evan Brooks[MC]
You were early again.
Liam smiled like he always did when Evan showed up.
They ate slowly, talking about small, useless things. Nothing serious, nothing heavy.
They walked through city after that.
Liam Reed
This place reminds me of you.
Evan didn't argue . He just walked beside Liam.
Liam bought something without asking.
Evan Brooks[MC]
I didn't say I wanted that.
Liam Reed
You never say what you want.
Evan paused at that... then kept walking.
By afternoon at riverside.
They sat there for a long time.
Liam Reed
We should do this more often.
Evan Brooks[MC]
We should.
For once Evan said something soft.
Liam didn't notice the difference.
They walked again through the city lights.
Liam Reed
After a few months, let's go somewhere far.
Liam Reed
Anywhere, just us.
Evan looked at him for a second.
Later, they stopped near a quiet street.
Liam was still talking, still laughing a little.
Evan was watching him more than listening to him.
After a while they stopped walking.
Not because of anything, just naturally.
Silence settled, but not in an uncomfortable way yet.
Liam Reed
You are staring.
Evan stayed quiet a moment longer. Than-
Evan Brooks[MC]
Let's break up.
The smile didn't leave Liams face immediately.
It took a second to land.
Evan Brooks[MC]
I think we should end this.
Liam Reed
No, don't joke like that.
Evan Brooks[MC]
I am not joking.
Evan Brooks[MC]
The air changed slowly like it was breaking instead of snapping.
Liam Reed
We were fine today.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Because it has to be now.
Liam Reed
No. Tell me the real reason.
Evan Brooks[MC]
There isn't one you can fix.
Liam Reed
I dont care. I will fix it anyway.
Evan looked at him properly now and a pause.
Liam Reed
Than dont do this.
Evan Brooks[MC]
That's why today mattered.
Evan didn't answer. Instead -
Evan Brooks[MC]
I didn't want it to end badly.
Liam expression slowly changed from disbelief to anger to sadness and to realization. Tears slowly left his eyes.
Liam Reed
So this whole day.
Liam shook his head slightly.
Liam Reed
You planned this.
Evan Brooks[MC]
I wanted one normal day.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Now I have to go.
Liams voice cracked slightly.
Liam Reed
If you walk away now ........ don't ever come back.
Liam turned. This time, he didn't look back. Evan stayed until the sound of his footsteps disappeared completely.
Evan couldn't say the truth.
The truth of him being the mafia.
Evan knew if he stayed with Liam anymore, Liams life would be in danger because Evan had many enemies. Enemies who will do anything to take Evan down.
That's why Evan had to let Liam go even if it meant hurting Liam or himself.
His heart ached, seeing Liam cry. He wanted to touch Liam console him tell him not to cry but he couldn't.
With a final look towards the way Liam went. He turned back and walked towards the car, which was parked near a cafe. He gets inside.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Drive.*He says to the driver in a cold voice*
The driver nodded and started the drive, and the destination was Evan's father's house.

A Decision Already Made
By the time Evan Brooks arrived at his father's estate the sun had already set.
The gates opened automically. Inside, everything looked the same. Expensive, quiet, and cold.
A maid greeted him at the entrance.
Maid
Welcome back, Young master.
Evan gave a small nod and started walking. His father was waiting in the study. As expected.
The moment Evan entered, his father looked up from the documents on his desk.
Evan Brooks[MC]
You called me here. I am here.
Evan sat down across from him. Silence settled between them.Neither of them were good at conversations that included feelings.
Eric Brooks
How have you been?
Eric Brooks
You've been avoiding family business.
Evan Brooks[MC]
I have been avoiding family.
Eric Brooks
One day, you will have responsibility.
Evan Brooks[MC]
One day, you will stop saying that.
The conversation died almost immediately. His father closed the file in front of him.
Eric Brooks
Let's get to the reason you're here.
His father was quiet for a moment. Than-
Eric Brooks
The rivalry between the Brooks family and the Black family is ending.
Evan Brooks[MC]
That's new.
Eric Brooks
It's necessary.
Evan Brooks[MC]
According to who?
Eric Brooks
According to everyone who is tired of burying people.
The room became silent again.
Evan Brooks[MC]
So what's the plan?
Eric Brooks
More than business.
Evan already hated where this was going.
Evan Brooks[MC]
What does that mean.
Eric Brooks
You and Ethan Black will be engaged.
Silence. Evan thought he had heard it wrong.
Eric Brooks
The agreement has already been finalized.
His father stayed calm, which made it even worse.
Evan Brooks[MC]
You are joking.
Eric Brooks
I never joke about business.
Evan Brooks[MC]
I am not a business deal.
Eric Brooks
Right now, you are.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Absolutely not.
Evan Brooks[MC]
You dont get to decide who I spend my life with.
His father looked at him for a long moment.
Eric Brooks
The decision has already been made.
Evan laughed once. It wasn't a happy sound.
Evan Brooks[MC]
You already planned everything without asking me.
Eric Brooks
I know what your answer would be.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Then why tell me now?
Eric Brooks
Because you are meeting Ethan Black tomorrow.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Who?*he said with shocked expression*
Evan Brooks[MC]
This conversation is getting repetitive.
Eric Brooks
Get used to it.
The next evening came faster than Evan wanted. He spent most of his days trying not to think about it.
And now he was standing outside a cafe. Neutral territory.
He went inside and looked around. And saw Ethan and went near him.
Evan Brooks[MC]
Ethan Black.*He said with hatred in his voice*
......
Evan Brooks*He also said with hatred in his voice*
