Peter circled around Maximus’s car. It was clear he owed him a window now. He was heading to his house to ask Theodore for help taking it to the shop. Besides, there was no way he could return to the room with Celeste in this state. It was past 5:00 a.m., so the best option was to go home, take a bath, and patch himself up.

Marcus, on the other hand, was walking into the emergency room to get the bruises on his face treated. Showing up at home like this would only alarm Valerie, so he called Frederick.

“Frederick, are you home?” Marcus asked while driving toward his house.

“Marcus? Are you okay? Do you need something? What’s going on? You don’t usually call me at this hour unless it’s an emergency,” Frederick said, sitting up abruptly in bed.

“It’s not an emergency, but I want to come over. Can I? I don’t have anywhere else to go…”

“Of course! You know my house is always open to you. Did something happen with Valerie?”

“I’ll explain when I get there.”

“Alright, see you soon.”

Peter arrived home, his body aching. His head hurt, but what pained him most was his heart. The frustration his friend had caused him led him to lash out, saying things he had kept bottled up for a long time.

He knew full well that the confrontation from just a few minutes ago had been inevitable. Both men were in love with the same woman. Their bond of friendship and brotherhood had been strained. Maximus, despite once being involved with Mary, didn’t provoke the same feelings. Peter didn’t know how to describe the odd sensation–or maybe he didn’t want to admit it. He felt betrayed. With memories resurfacing, things now looked different, and that strange, painful feeling consumed him.

As Peter made his way to his room, Theodore emerged from his own. He noticed how slowly his usually imposing friend was walking, so he stepped in and, seeing him up close, asked:

“Who won?”
