Curiosity got the better of Walter. "You're quite the actor, so I have to ask. The wheelchair... is it for real? Or is it just another one of your performances? Let me think..."

It was like a lightbulb went off in Walter's head, his eyes sparkling with the thrill of a major eureka

moment.

"I get it. You can't walk, and you've been wheeling around like you're totally helpless. But you clam up whenever we ask about your injury. What's the deal with your legs, huh? You've been pulling one over on us, right?" Walter did not even pause for Alex to answer before he dropped his verdict.

"You went to extreme lengths for a pity party, even letting your legs go to waste. Alex, my man, you play a tough game. I have to hand it to you!"

However, in a flash, Walter's eyes took on a predatory glint. He reached out to Alex with an inviting gesture.

Alex eyed him warily, clueless about Walter's next move.

"Let's make it interesting with a little wager, just between us brothers. You used to sneak around boxing when we were kids, right? So, let's put boxing on the line.

"If you win, I'll divorce Evangeline and get out of her life for good. You lose, and you're the one who disappears. Stay out of Evangeline's life forever!"

Walter was laying it all on the line, facing Alex in his wheelchair. It was more than a bet. It was a quest for the truth, fueled by his deep love for Evangeline.

He needed to know if his brother, the fragile Alex, was truly ill or if it had all been a lie.

If Alex was ready to drop the act for Evangeline's sake, Walter was prepared to let go of his own fixations and wish them a lifetime of happiness.

If that was not the case, then he would never, ever let that phony Alex get his hands on Evangeline, no matter how much he had to bug him!

"To make sure no one says I'm picking on a sick guy, I'll fight you one-handed!"

Walter announced, tucking his left hand away and squaring off with just his right. "Your move."

Alex caught his breath, his eyes flickering with a sudden spark. Then he let out a feeble sigh. "Why does it have to be like this, Walter? Don't you remember? We're brothers! "And look at me, stuck in this wheelchair, can't even stand, let alone box with you.

"Can't we just chill out? There's nothing going on with me and Evie."

His voice was so soft, so pleading, it felt like he could disappear into the air at any moment.

Walter was in no mood for chit-chat. He wanted to wrap this up fast and barked, "Cut the crap!

Evangeline's not here to fall for your sob story, and I'm hot buying it either. No more games-let's do this!" Walter's right fist zoomed toward Alex's face.

Out of nowhere, a furious shout cut through.

"Walter! Back off!"

Evangeline leaped in, throwing herself in front of Alex, shielding him completely.

She had been back at her seat in the banquet, but the nagging worry about the Walter brothers not returning gnawed at her. She made up some excuse and bolted for the garden. The night wind howled through the early autumn evening, muffling the words between the two men from

afar.

However, as she closed in, her heart sank to see Walter's fist flying at his own brother, Alex.
