I've already told her months ago and she hasn't called back since to argue about it.' The older woman utters. 'Yes, she doesn't have a choice but Darling knows her responsibility as a member of the Charming family. He stares at the screen and watches Dexter's expression, his face was swimming with emotions. 'So, what you're saying is, she didn't have a choice?' Daring asks a second time, clarifying this factor. That look meant that she's about to put her foot down, have the last say in the fresh argument before it escalates. Oh, Daring knows damn well what that look meant. 'No.' His mother replies, short and not-as-sweet as her lovely face hardens around the edges. However, Daring had always expected the latter, thinking the twins would have some choice in the family business, unlike him.ĭaring continues asking, knowing Dexter would be too timid to oppose their mother, 'Does Darling have any say in this?' Either to join him too or to pave their own future.

but Daring had always imagined there were at least possibilities for the twins. He knows as the oldest Charming child, he's been groomed from a very young age to take over Charming Co. But, I'm sure he'll agree with me.'ĭaring feels his jaw click and his teeth clench. Mrs Charming smooths out her hair again and replies, 'No. Daring asks, 'Does Father know about this?' This piece of news causes both Daring and Dexter to stare back in confusion – blue eyes fluttering with confusion and jaws dropping.ĭaring speaks up first, knowing despite Dexter's protective nature for his twin, the brunette boy would never try to defy their mother's words. She says to her boys, 'I've decided that it's time for Darling to stop travelling the world and come home.' 'Perfect, I have some news that I would like you two to listen to.' Mrs Charming clears her throat and pushed a lock of brown hair behind her ear, sounding as important as she can be. 'No, I'm alone.' Dexter answers while Daring says, 'I'm in a private meeting room in the library.' 'I would like to keep the conversation between family.' 'You don't have anyone around, do you?' She continues asking. Though group texting and normal phone calls were the usual norm between the Charming family, Mrs Charming tends to have need to see her children as up close and personal via a phone or laptop screen, which was, unfortunately as overbearingly normal as can be. 'Yes, Mother.' Daring answers, mimic's Dexter's reply. Dexter's used to being the middle man by now, but, it's still a tiring job. He swallows the urge to roll his eyes, runs his tongue against his teeth in frustration and sits up right too all while Dexter watches the building tension with an anticipation. Use your words, I raised you better than that.'Įven through a screen and having hundreds of miles separating the two, Daring could feel his mother's stare. 'Daring?' Mrs Charming calls, raising an eyebrow at her eldest son. 'Yes, Mother.' Dexter answers, sitting perfectly straight in his swivelling chair, while Daring gives a half-hearted nod of the head.

'Can you boys hear me?' Mrs Charming asks, eyeing her laptop screen as she watches her two sons, Daring and Dexter, sit in front of the respective laptops. ← Previous Work Part 2 of 99 cent dreams, ← Previous Work Part 5 of Co-written fics between a mashmallow and an omelette Stats: Published: Completed: Words: 82,256 Chapters: 35/35 Comments: 15 Kudos: 105 Bookmarks: 11 Hits: 3,156 I wrote this fic for me but y'all can read it if you want.Why is this fic so Goddamn long?
