Faux Vows, True Desires

"Whether Stefan's parents like me or not, it doesn't faze me. After all, I'm not spending my life with them; as long as Stefan digs me, that's all that matters. Besides, I'm not that bad a person." Lucinda didn't think she was any less than Stefan.

"Ah well, forget I said anything."

Ike understood his beloved sister now belonged to Stefan. That guy swept her off her feet in no time.

About ten minutes later.

Ike's car stopped at the entrance of the apartment complex.

"Ike, you wait here, I'll go in and change and be right back."

Ike responded, "No rush, take your sweet time, let Stefan hang tight a bit. Lucinda, you gotta make Stefan follow the rules you laid down in your novel about men respecting women."

"He was your mate for four years at university, how can you not stand him?"

Ike smirked, "He stole my sister without a peep, and I've yet to give him a piece of my mind, what else do you want me to do?"

"It's me who hired Stefan as my husband, I give him 500 bucks a month for rent, including food, accommodation and clothing."

Ike waved his hand, urging his sister, "Get out of the car and go change. You're about to drive me up the wall. Let me chill for a bit." Lucinda got out of the car on her own. She turned to leave.
