Chapter 184: Love Yourself
(JERICHO)
Arlo studies me like I’m some amoeba on a petri dish. "That’s it, yeah? You’re mad because you slept together and now he left without a word."
Miles finally breaks the silence. "Please tell me you weren’t that foolish, Jericho."
"Whatever happened between me and Wesley is none of your business." I croak out.
"So then that’s a yes?" Miles groans, raking his hand frustratedly through his hair. "Sasha is going to have my balls for this."
I glare at him, feeling resentful. "My sex life isn’t your concern. Neither is it my brother’s."
"Is that what you think?" He says, jabbing a finger on me. "Sasha trusted me to keep you focused with work. You were supposed to learn how to help run the ports and what did you do? You were so busy fucking the manny. What did you think? That this shit wouldn’t have blown back to me? You’re so selfish and naive, Jericho."
"I’m not naive or selfish." I hiss.
"Yes, you are. All you care about is what you want. Nobody matters to you. You’re already old enough but you still pretend like being an Adonis has no bearing to how you live your life."
"Why would I care about that? I’m not the head of the Triple Triads."
His eyes go wide. "There. That exactly is the kind of attitude that I’m talking about. Did you notice that somebody tried to kill you yesterday? And why do you think they did that? It’s because you are an Adonis. You are Sasha’s brother. Stop having your head in the clouds, Jericho. You have responsibilities. Step the fuck up. Sasha had been more than patient with you but it’s time you grew up. You need to start listening to your brother and do what he asks of you."
