Husband With Benefits

Chapter 185: Her Confidante

A few days ago

"Do you love my brother?" Erasmi asked Nora pointedly.

Nora looked away, unable to say anything. She actually was unsure about what she felt. She looked at Erasmi carefully. Even though he looked exactly like Demetri, she could feel he was different. So if she were to theorize that she was only attracted to Demetri’s good looks, this vetoed that theory. Erasmi felt more like a brother...

"What is love Erasmi? I’ve never felt love. So how would I know if I love him or not? My only understanding of love comes from romance novels and I am not so foolish to think that those things exist in the real world."

Erasmi stared at Nora and sighed," Nora, do you know when I first regained my senses, I hated Demetri?"

Nora looked at Erasmi in surprise. Erasmi hated Demetri? Why?

"Shocking, isn’t it? But its not that far-fetched."

"Because you blamed him for the accident?"

"Yes and No. At the time, every feeling that I had felt for Demetri, for Nellie seemed like it was just yesterday. I only had broken information that I had received over the years. None of my other brothers or family ever visited me."

"I was the one who had been groomed for taking over the Frost Industries. Yes, as brothers we had always been competitive over everything but the position of the CEO was to be inherited by me. To all of us, it was as if everything was set in stone. I would lead my brothers. So imagine my shock when I realized that while I had been in that place, my entire existence had been erased. No one was even aware that Demetri had a twin brother. I wanted to hurt Demetri so bad."

"Imagine my surprise when I learnt that while everyone had moved on from my so called death, the only person who had been fighting for me had been Demetri. It was like a slap in the face. The man I wanted to hurt was already hurting. Demetri, my younger brother had grown into a man while I was still stuck somewhere in the past."

"Nora, my brother already has you in his heart. And if you do not love him, then..."

Nora looked away from Erasmi before looking down and repeating," I don’t know. Erasmi. What is love? Is it that when he is away from me then I cannot function properly? Then I am not in love? Because I can. I miss him but does not mean that I cannot live. But does the thought of never seeing him hurt me and is that love? Then yes, I love him."

"Does love mean that I have to trust him with everything, then yes I love him. But does it mean that I have to agree with everything, then I don’t love him. Can I live without him? Yes. Do I want to live without him? No. So tell me Erasmi, is it love or not?"

"You’ve already answered your own question, Nora." Erasmi spoke with a smile.

Nora frowned and looked at Erasmi with disgust. He had no answer to her questions and so he was only confusing her further!

Erasmi rolled his eyes and held, Nora’s hand," Who said that love has only these parameters? Love is a multiple-choice question with multiple-choice answers. The brain will always question things. But it is the heart that will have all the answers.

"Ask yourself that... There is no language of love, no parameters. Caring is also love. Trusting is also love. So is respect and so is yearning. So is protecting. Its all the little things and it’s all the grand gestures."

Silence reigned between the two of them. She had never imagined that she would have such a conversation while sitting in a cafe with a man she knew the least.

She’d gradually come to accept that maybe what she felt for Demetri was indeed love. It was unlike the love she read about and yet it was exactly like that. But now she had another question... Would Demetri love her?

After all, the person who was supposed to love her the most had never loved her. She knew of course that Lara Anderson not loving her had never been her fault but even so, she’d tried to hard to make Lara love her. Could she do something like that for Demetri? Could she woo him and make him fall for her so that he would reciprocate her love?

But if she failed to get his love, then what? As she was lost in thought, she realized that she’d reached the hotel’s lobby already and needed to book a taxi.

As she fumbled for her phone, she was approached by a concierge who quickly bowed," Mrs. Frost. Your car is already here."

Nora frowned at that. "My car? I never ordered one..."

"We just received a call from Mr Frost that you would need transportation. It’s already arranged, ma’am."

Nora blinked at that. He’d already taken into account that she would not get a cab here and arranged for conveyance. Her heart stumbled at that. Arranging a car was a little thing. All he’d done was pick up the phone and made a request. And yet, Erasmi’s voice echoed in her ears," It’s in the little things and the grand ones..."

Feeling lighter than air, Nora quickly followed the concierge to the car. IT did not matter what Erasmi had told Demetri or not. She was going to take this chance and woo her husband. It was a risk. But marrying him had been a risk and it had paid off so maybe if she took a risk where Demetri was involved, she might have a higher chance of succeeding...

Nora settled into the plush interior of the car, her mind buzzing with newfound determination. Now she had a clear aim in mind... Mission: Win Mr. Husband’s heart. She just needed to formulate a plan to conquer it. Easy peasy lemon squeazy...
