KYLE'S POV.

Sibling rivalry.

It often starts when a second child joins the family and continues as the kids grow and compete for everything from toys to attention. It's mainly caused by concerns with fairness, individual temperaments of the siblings involved, parents conflict resolution skills. Children can show sibling rivalry by calling each other names, telling on each other whether truthfully or not, verbal sparring, hitting each other, breaking and hiding each other's possessions.

It can develop into full blown enmity if not properly dealt with from a young age.

Alina and I had our own share of sibling rivalry when we were little and I can't say it has completely dissipated. We still fight a lot, but it's not out of spite or jealousy. It's out of concern for one another. Our parents didn't let our sibling rivalry escalate to the point of enmity like in the case of Rhea and Ashanti.

It's such a shame two beautiful sisters grew up to be enemies. The parents who raised them are to be blamed for this.

This is not the first time Rhea is trying to get Ashanti into trouble. There have been many attempts, but this tops it all. I have a gut feeling my sister Alina was involved in this plan, but let's not go there. I'll just stay content with the fact Ashanti's name has been cleared.

I swallow the food in my mouth and wash it down with a chug of apple juice. My cutlery drops on the place and I let out a satisfied sigh.

I'm full.

I was starving by the time the investigation was over and drove straight to my father's house so I could eat my mother's food. Luckily for me, she had just finished cooking when I arrived.

Pushing my seat behind, I rise up and I'm about to leave the dinning when I see my mother approaching with Alina right behind her.

"You're done eating?" Mum asks with a bright smile. I nod my head.

"Yes mum. Thank you very much for the meal. It was delicious as always." I walk over to her and plant a soft kiss on her cheek. "I have to go now."

Her smile fades.
