Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 46 – Keepsake Samples (Sky‘s POV) “Finn!” I called my brother angrily while I walked toward the family room where he was watching rugby sports. I ignored Elenita and Olivia as they assembled the puzzle on the table, not caring they would witness me strangling my brother. 

“What now?” He scowled, rolling his eyes at him as if he knew already what it was about. 

“Dean Jones called me,” I hissed at him and felt glad that Dad went somewhere to meet an old friend. At least he won‘t see Finn and me fighting again. I walked in front of the TV to block it and stopped him from watching. “What age do you intend to graduate from college? Never?” I shouted angrily at him. “Same as Olivia?” 

“Sky,” Elenita looked at me, but when he saw how mad I was, she shook her head and sighed as she tried to focus on the puzzle again. “What do you plan to do with your life?” I roared furiously, taking the remote control from him and turning off the TV. “What will you tell Dad this time?” “It‘s not my fault, okay? That lunatic substitute professor was giving me a hard time. She‘s not accepting my research paper, telling me it‘s not enough,” he growled at me. Olivia chuckled. “It‘s not what I heard yesterday when you‘re talking to Conrad. You told him you fell in love with her, and you intend to stay for another year,” she shook her head after flickering her eyes on us. “Shut up!” He gave Olivia a sullen look, but she only sneered at him. 

I heaved a deep sigh, sitting down on the egg chair. “Please, Finn. If you have no plan in life, just do this for Dad. He‘s not asking for anything else except seeing you graduate this month,” I said in a resigned voice. Already tired of fighting with Finn, I looked at him and asked, “What can I do to help you?” He smirked, snatching the remote control from me. “Talk to her.” He sneered as he shook his head. “She‘s too perfectionist. If you can make her accept my paper, then your problem is solved, big brother.” My fingers curled my hair, gripping them instead of Finn‘s. I really wanted to hurt him right now, but I couldn‘t. Still, he is my brother. 

“So, Sky, if I graduate, can I have my freedom to go and live with mom?” A question that did not surprise me. He has always wanted to leave home and be with our mom, but with dad‘s condition, he couldn‘t live with her that long. 

“It‘s Dad‘s only wish,” I said, leaning on the chair‘s backrest and closing my eyes. Years of arguing with Finn have been tiring already. 

“What happened to Dad, by the way?” Olivia asked. “He‘s kinda weird yesterday. I‘ve never seen him so happy,” she added. “Is he seeing someone else?”
