The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 111 "We were informed that Alexander's brother would be visiting." | refrained myself from scowling. Was that it? For crying out loud, based on the way everyone had been acting, | would have guessed that we were hosting the Royal Family. "Really? Alll this insanity because Alexander's brother is coming?" | questioned. | slowly shook my head. "I'm sorry, | just don't see what the big deal is." "It's understandable for you," Nina began. "You've never met the other Kingston son.

Needless to say, for as long as | worked for the family, there's always been an incredible tension between the two. Alexander has always possessed an incredible stoic disposition. He's not someone who lets his emotions get the better of him while around others. However..." "His brother has the ability to bring out the so-called worst in him?" Nina nodded her head. | couldn't help but feel a drastic bout of sympathy for Alexander. He, of all people, knew about my hellish experience living in my house with Samantha as a Stepsister. Most of the time, she was just annoying.

| could handle her immature comments and irritating behavior. But there were ---- moments when she'd found a way to be beyond cruel, making it feel like | was being branded. Hearing about Alexander's difficulties with his own sibling gave me a mix of troubling feelings. The man knew a lot about my family and upbringing, yet | still knew so little of his. He was. aware of my issues with my sibling, and yet he never shared any of his own. It felt like he'd placed another barrier between us. Once the tea was ready and prepared each of our mugs and handed Nina hers.

| took a few decent sips, hoping that the warmth would settle my icy nerves "Surely, all of this preparation isn't meant to impress his brother," | pointed out. Nina shook her head. "All of what you see out there is purely because of Caroline. She's the one who demanded that Alexander host a dinner to welcome his brother back from his ongoing studies at school." | raised a single brow. "I see. And, will she also be in attendance for this dinner?" | asked stiffly. "it's possible.

Normally, Caroline acts as a sort of mediator between the two of them." Now | had a particularly hard time believing that Caroline, of all ---- people, had the ability to keep the peace when she was so readily capable of causing such damaging chaos. "Why do | have a feeling that Caroline has a tendency to take her son's side rather than Alexander's?" Nina snorted. "You'd be right again." "You know, now that I'm thinking about it, | don't think | even know what his brother's name is," | stated. "Oh, it's-" One of the staff members came rushing through the doorway, huffing out of breath. "Nina!

Nina, please come out here! We need your help, we don't know what to do about the seating arrangements in the dining room!" Before | got my answer, Nina was being pulled out of the kitchen. My mind was still so wrapped up in Alexander and the things | realized he'd been keeping to himself. Why was it that he literally demanded to know what went on in my family as | was growing up when he gets to keep his life a secret from me? Why is he guaranteed that privilege of privacy?

| glanced at the clock above the oven and decided that | needed to get ready for the surprise dinner party that | knew nothing about. Grabbing my tea, | headed out of the kitchen and tried to imagine what | needed to wear.
