Scarlett and Tristian were in the park strolling around casually as they chatted and laughed about little things not knowing that Jaden was coming to the same place they were.

Jaden took a stroll down the street, his mind in a chaotic state. As he walked, he couldn't help but think of Scarlett, his eldest brother's wife. She was always on his mind, and he couldn't shake off the thoughts of her beautiful face, her bright smile, and those luscious lips that he longed to kiss.

Despite his feelings, Jaden couldn't help but respect Scarlett for her unwavering resilience and her virtuous character. She was the epitome of a perfect wife, and Jaden couldn't help but feel envious of his brother for having such a gem by his side.

As he walked into the park, his thoughts consumed him, and he couldn't help but feel conflicted. He knew that it was wrong to have such feelings for his brother's wife, but he couldn't stop himself from admiring her beauty and grace. He felt trapped, knowing that Scarlett was already taken and that there was nothing he could do about it.

Jaden sat on the bench in the park, lost in his thoughts as he saw his brother and his wife laughing as they talked. He watched his brother's wife as she laughed and joked with him. He couldn't deny the fact that he had feelings for her, but he knew he could never act on them. He had made a promise to himself that he would protect their relationship, even if it meant staying away from her.

Jaden believed that his brother and his wife deserved each other. They were perfect for each other and he didn't want to be the reason for their separation. He loved his brother too much to cause him any pain, so he decided to love her from afar.

As he sat there, watching them, he made up his mind to leave the park and stay away from them. With a heavy heart, he stood up and walked away. He walked down the street with tears in his eyes and a sense of helplessness in his heart. He knew it was the right decision, but it didn't make it any easier.

He disappeared into the shadows, hoping that someday he would find the strength to move on. At that moment. Jaden didn't realize that Tristian saw him he saw him the moment he walked into the park but Jaden was so consumed by his thoughts that he didn't notice his brother staring at his lonely figure in distress.

"Is something wrong?" Scarlett asked noticing her husband's distressed expression.

Taking in a deep breath, "I'm fine," He responded not wanting to stress his pregnant wife with his brother's feelings. Feelings that she couldn't reciprocate. Scarlett smiled at him with a nod as she caressed her second-trimester belly.

"Let's get you home, it's getting late and cold out here," Tristian said with a sigh. After they got home, Tristian put his wife to sleep before exiting their bedroom. He went to his brother's wing. Jaden has just finished bathing and has changed into a pair of joggers and a singlet.

"We need to talk, bro," Tristian said to Jaden mildly while Jaden gave him a confused look. He wondered what had happened for his brother to look this serious. Tristian and Jaden walked into the cozy basement and sat down, facing each other, the tension between the two men lingered for a while and Jaden felt uncomfortable with Tristian staring at him.

"I think you should tell her," Tristian finally said with a sigh, Jaden's brows furrowed in confusion not understanding what Tristian was saying.

"I don't understand what you are saying," Jaden said truthfully.

"Tell Scarlett about your feelings, it will help you feel free," Tristian said, getting straight to the point. Jaden's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he gave his brother a look of terror asking him if he was insane.

"I'm not insane, think about it. It is the first step to move on," Tristian said with a smile.

"Tristian, how can you ask another man to prophesy love to your legal wife?" Jaden whispered and yelled at his stupid brother.
