"M-my brother?!" "Well... half brother. But that didn't change the way I felt for you. I loved you, so much it hurt every time you rejected me and whenever I saw you I felt happy although you didn't feel the same," he said quietly. "Did you ever ask me my feelings? How did you know that I didn't love you back!" I shouted. I looked away from him. This was wrong. "You loved me?" I didn't answer. I looked at him and then looked away once more. "Katherine, I just asked you... please, let me know." "I loved you. I never wanted you to know until I was ready to tell you, but you... you died," I said. "You were dead! Mother told me you were dead! I went to your funeral!" "About that..." "I want to know everything," I said. He nodded. "It started when my mom found out about your mom sleeping with my dad. She remembered the day my dad brought me home saying I was his son from his previous marriage. She believed him. She raised me as her own child knowing I was not hers. However when she saw us together she couldn't help but find the situation wrong. She didn't think I was supposed to love you. She didn't see that kind of bond between us. That's when your mother told her the truth. And when she found out about my love for you she called it sinful and ordered me to "die". She wanted me gone out of the family. I was adopted into another family and I had faked my death." "I don't understand. That car..." "It was planned... I'm so sorry," he said. He took my hand in his and he kissed my forehead and then lifted my chin with his hands and leaned in. "Stop!" I said pushing him away. "Why?" he asked. "This is wrong! Mackenzie! I'm your sister! This isn't right! Brothers and sisters don't do this!" "But you loved me before..." "That's different! I didn't know you were my brother back then! You were just a boy whom I came to love! That's all it was!" "I don't care! I love you!" he said and he kissed my lips. "Stop!" I shouted. "I already have someone I love!" "K-Katherine?" said a voice. I turned around to see Rafe. "R-Rafe!" I said. "Why are you here?!" I asked. I looked at Mackenzie. He eyed Rafe suspiciously. "Who are you?" he asked. Rafe laughed. "I'm..." "He's the one I love..." I said. I turned back to Mackenzie. "I don't love you like that anymore... My heart... it belongs to this man... Rafe Cartier," I said quietly.
