Chapter 76: Aiden's Realisation
"Little Aiden, do you really want me to kiss you right here, in front of everyone?"
Upon hearing her words, Aiden instantly realized the mistake he had made. Despite everything that had happened, his big sister was still not entirely normal. She was not the same as before, and any sudden provocations could cause her to act impulsively. The way she was now, she wasn't in a state of mind to always be rational.
Aiden knew that pushing her buttons could lead to her doing something that would surprise everyone present, perhaps even something she would regret later. He could sense that now was not the right time to play these kinds of games, especially since the ceremony was about to start soon.
Moreover, Aiden had made some special plans. He had arranged a surprise—a one-week vacation with his Big Sis, something he intended to reveal to her later. He was confident that they would have a wonderful time together during that week, doing all the things they loved, just like a couple would. He could already imagine how excited and happy his Big Sis would be when she heard about it.
The thought of them spending time together made him smile internally. He knew that his Big Sis would love the surprise and they would enjoy every moment of their vacation.
But he also knew that right now, this wasn't the moment to bring it up. He needed to calm her down and say something she wanted to hear, something that would reassure her. He had to choose his words carefully, so, leaning closer to her, he brought his lips near her ear and whispered gently.
"Big Sis, you're the one I love most out of everyone in the whole world." And it wasn't a lie. This statement was completely true for Aiden. His relationships with Aunt May and his mother were purely familial, the typical bonds of love that one shares with their family. But with his Big Sis, it was different—his feelings for her went far beyond that.
He loved her romantically, and in his heart, there was no doubt that she was the one person he cared about the most. His love for her was deep, and he had no reason to hide it.
When Alicia heard his soft response, her heart fluttered. It was the answer she had been waiting for, the words that she had longed to hear from him. She had been playful when she asked him the question, but deep down, she had been entirely serious. She needed reassurance, and now that she had it, a wave of satisfaction surged through her.
It was almost as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She felt her bones relax with pleasure, knowing that Aiden's feelings for her were exactly as she had hoped. It was a little embarrassing to hear him say it out loud, but at the same time, it made her heart swell with joy.
After all, what woman wouldn't feel satisfied and blissful when hearing the person they love most in the world say that they were the one he cherished above all others? This realization made Alicia's mind clear up, erasing the strange and delusional thoughts that had clouded her mind earlier.
Those unsettling ideas had been the result of her fragile mental state, which had been a bit unstable for some time now.
Although she felt much better at this moment, it was evident that her mental state hadn't fully recovered yet. Deep down, Alicia had fears and doubts, especially about their relationship. In her mind, unless they truly became one, those insecurities would continue to haunt her.
She worried constantly that Aiden, being an adult now, might eventually lose interest in her because they still hadn't shared their first night together. That thought gnawed at her, making her question if there was something about her that wasn't enough.
And now, a new fear had surfaced in her thoughts—the idea that Aiden could fall in love with someone else. This fear was sparked by the attention he was receiving from other girls. He was surrounded by people, and many of them were drawn to him.
She regretted the decision to let him go back to school when he asked. Both she and Aiden had known that he didn't need school in the first place. His intelligence and abilities far surpassed what school could offer. But back then, as a teenager herself, she had agreed to it without much thought. She just wanted to give him what he wanted at the time.
However, looking back, she never imagined that it would lead to this situation, where other girls would constantly be around him.
Alicia had always been aware of how attractive her little brother was, and she had even trained him to be confident and charismatic and to handle girls who try to seduce him. She knew he would attract attention, but she never expected the overwhelming number of girls who would fawn over him. Now, she was frustrated, watching all these girls trying to get close to her Aiden.
It made her angry because she hated it when anyone looked at what was hers.
The worst part was that she couldn't do anything about it. The United Earth Federation protected all students attending the Elite School, which meant she couldn't take action against those girls, no matter how much she wanted to. This protection shielded them from any direct confrontation.
But Alicia wasn't the type to give up easily. In her obsessive mind, she had already formulated a plan. She was determined that once Aiden's high school years ended, she would deal with those girls in her own way. Once they were out of the school and no longer had the UEF's protection, she would make sure that none of those "bitches" would have the chance to get close to him.
'Just wait,' Alicia thought to herself. 'Two more years and you can admire him from a distance. But after that, you'll see…' The thought of handling those girls after high school brought a mischievous smile to her face. She knew that she could wait for the right moment to deal with them.
For now, Alicia was content, knowing that Aiden loved her more than anyone else. This knowledge gave her the strength to keep her emotions in check, at least for the time being. But in her mind, she had already made an important decision.
'I need to become one with Aiden as soon as possible,' she thought. 'Once we experience that connection, once we share something that no one else can ever take from us, I will make him addicted to me and I'll have him completely under my control. He won't even think about another woman. I'll be all he needs.'
Alicia was confident that once Aiden experienced the depth of their relationship, he wouldn't be able to look at any other woman. She knew how beautiful she was, and she was aware that her charm would be irresistible to him. She was his Big Sis, the one he loved the most, and she had no doubt that he wouldn't be able to resist her advances.
She was determined to make sure that he would never want anyone else.
"Hehehe… I can't wait to have my way with you, Little Brother," she thought to herself, her heart racing at the thought. "Don't be embarrassed, Alicia. Sometimes a woman has to take the lead, especially when it comes to love. It's only right for us to do what a couple is supposed to do."
'Even if I have to drink a little, I'll make sure he understands that I'm the only one for him. Those other girls, no matter what they try, will never be able to take him away from me.'
'Little Brother, just wait. Big Sis will keep you all to herself, and I'll never let you go.' Aiden had sealed his fate the moment he promised to marry her in the future. From that point on, Alicia was prepared to do whatever it took to make sure they would be together forever.
'Because you're mine, and mine alone.'
For Alicia, who had only ever fantasized about her little brother, the thought of finally being with him felt both thrilling and terrifying. She had spent countless nights imagining it, and now it was within reach. Soon, the lines between fantasy and reality would blur, and only time would reveal who would truly be addicted to the taste of the forbidden.
Alicia, however, had already set her plans in motion, and she was confident that they would lead exactly where she wanted.
---
Alicia responded to Aiden's earlier words with a proud, satisfied voice, as though everything had fallen into place exactly as she imagined it should. In her mind, this was how things were supposed to be—there was no other option.
"Hmph, it's good that you know what's best, Little Aiden. Always remember who loves you the most every single day. But, how long are you going to hold onto me like this in front of everyone? Have you gotten jealous seeing all the others admiring your Big Sis's beauty?"
"But it's your Big Sis who's feeling jealous, watching all those girls fawning over you, Little Aiden."
Aiden, still wrapped in his big sister's embrace, had almost forgotten that they were still holding each other. Hearing her reminder, and her next words, his face flushed with embarrassment. He was still feeling jealous of how all the boys ogled his big sister.
Then Alicia admitted her own jealousy of the girls (or "bitches," as she called them). Aiden felt a pang of guilt. He had been enjoying the attention a little too much and realized it was immature of him to let his sister's feelings go unaddressed while he played with the idea of making her jealous.
Now, Aiden decided he would be more mindful of his lovely Big Sis. He wouldn't act in ways that might provoke misunderstandings, especially when some stubborn girl tried to get close to him. It wasn't right for him to indulge in those situations just to make his sister jealous.
Realizing how immature his behavior had been, Aiden resolved to confront any girl who openly blushed when talking to him or displayed behavior that could lead to confusion. He would ensure nothing like that happened in front of his Big Sis and would be more thoughtful of her feelings from now on.
He knew how lucky he was to have a big sister who loved him this much. He couldn't even begin to comprehend the depth of her love, and from now on, he would make sure to respect and appreciate her even more.
