To Love or to Kill
Chapter 1 Many Roles of Brady Black
Days in the Penthouse now, were a relatively quiet atmosphere with the occasional sniffle from Belle. Marlena on the other hand was in all out bawling upstairs in her bedroom. The bedroom that use to belong to the both of them. Was only a room for one now. Every now and then you could hear her wail from her bedroom 'Why, John why! Why did you leave me?! Why did you have to die!' Marlena would shout aloud. Tears resurfaced in her eyes every minute she went with out crying for so long. It didn't take much for her to crumble. The initial shock of him being in the hospital and in critical condition had did that.
Brady still could feel the hurt in his own heart. But he knew not let it get to him, because he had responsibilities now. He had to now play the role of taking over his father's company Basic Black, being an older brother to a suffering sister, and now he got the great part of being man of the house. But most of all his most recent role called for him to be the boyfriend, the stalker, and the killer to one of DiMera's daughter. Brady smiled at the thought of making Stefano feel pain, heartache, and grief for the loss of a loved one. The only thing that was getting in the way of Brady's plan was Stefano. He had built a strong protective wall around his daughter. If anything was true about Stefano is was that he was a very protective and loving father to his youngest. Never have seen the girl before, he had heard of her every now and then through his father.
'Well, I'll worry about that later' Brady thought as he knew pretty soon he would have to be dropping Belle off at school. It was the first day back and his little sister had seemed to be getting stronger.
"You ready, yet Belle!" Brady shouted from the bottom of the stairs straightening his tie. Today was an important day as any at Basis Black but today he would be meeting the new model to be used in the teen advertisement section of the company.
"I'm coming! You think you can give a girl an extra second, its not like we're even running late!" she yelled back at her early bird brother.
Brady smiled before he said, "Well, I'm not late but it appears you are" as he looked down to his watch and said, "It's now 7:20. Now tell me if I'm correct the first class begins at… hmm" Brady began tapping his fingers on his chin when his sister rumbled down the steps.
"WHAT TIME DID YOU SAY?" she inquired wide-eyed.
Brady would help but laugh at how he knew how to get his sister just right. "Don't get your wires in a jumble, okay its only 7" he said smiling.
Belle breather a sigh of relief then fixed her posture again just right to give Brady a hearty slap in the stomach with her purse. "Don't you ever do that again, Brady! You had me worried. I'm suppose to be giving this new student a tour of the school. And that brings me to my next statement…" Belle said beginning to put on her puppy dogs eyes in full force.
Brady raised an eye and said, "Oh no Belle. I don't think so. Whatever it is, the answer is NO!" with the added power to 'no'.
"Please pretty please Brady. My oh so loving older brother of mine. Who I adore so much and look up to for goodness, and to help guide me to a successful road and, and …." Belle began sputtering drawing a blank.
"Look, Tink you can stop with the sucking up. What is it that you need this so adored older brother of yours to do," he said smiling down at her.
Belle smiled at the knowledge her expression had worked, "Well you see the new girl I was telling you about doesn't know her way to the school. So I volunteered to take her to school for the week. I mean a lot of us did so before the end of the school year last year. But I'm guessing a lot of people forgot. So I'm taking it upon myself to show her around and give her a big Salem welcome"
Brady somewhat confused asked, "What about her parents? I'm not saying we can't pick her up but are they like out of the picture or what?"
"See we know her parents and that was another reason I took on the job. Well her mother is Nancy Wesley but her stepfather is Doctor Craig Wesley. Her mother had already told me something's about her and that's why I took this job on. Though when I asked about her father she was somewhat reluctant to answer. So since their busy with hospital stuff in the morning, blah, blah, blah and we're picking her up," Belle said.
Silently agreeing to the terms for the week Brady opened the door for Belle and said, "After you."
"Thank you," Belle said walking out the penthouse door.
Brady looked at the living room one more time before he closed the door and thought to himself, 'This day feels its going to be really interesting' as he smiled and locked the door.
