Chapter 109: Eat Your Words

MIA

God, what now?

"You," she called as she approached. Her heels clicked on the floor.

This early morning? Heels?

"Where the fuck is my brother?" she asked.

I rubbed my arms slightly.

"At the gym," I answered, moving my attention to the mirror as I hoped she would be on her way there already.

But no.

I felt her gaze on me.

I know she won't leave easily.

I worked on my hair for no reason as she kept staring at me.

"Look at you,"

I froze.

"In my fucking brother's room acting like his fucking wife already."

I heaved a sigh.

"You must feel so good about your fucking achievement."

I looked at her.

She is scowling at me with her chin raised.

"I pity you."

I scoffed internally.

"Let me school your sorry ass. Pussy can't keep a man, sweetie."

I furrowed my brows.

"I know men more than your sorry ass does. When he is done with you, he will toss you away like he did  others."

I kept staring at her.

"Enjoy your time while it lasts, bitch. You will be walking out of this mansion very soon," she said, turning around to leave.

"I doubt that," I said, stopping her in her tracks.

She turned her head to me.

"The fuck did you just say to me?"

I shrugged. "I doubt that."

She turned completely to me.

I raised my left hand and pointed at the ring, attracting her eyes.

"You see this?"

She looked at me.

I smiled. "We are getting married soon."

Her jaw tightened.

"He might have tossed others away but I will be an exception. I am here to stay, Imani."

She glared at me.

"Your beloved brother is crazy about me and I am not sorry about that," I said, smiling.

She kept glaring at me.

"Please be a good sister and my future sister in-law by helping with the wedding plans. It will be one of the kindest things you have ever done yet."

She scowled at me.

"Okay?" I kept smiling at her.

"Read my lips, bitch."

I raised my brows.

"I'm not only going to get you out of my brother's life and this fucking mansion. I'm gonna make you eat your fucking words."

I stared at her.

"Be fucking ready."

"You can't do anything."

Her lips curled up in anger.

"We will fucking see about that." She said, storming out angrily and slamming the door.

I closed my eyes and let out a breath I didn't I was holding.

"God, she is relentless." I turned to the mirror, staring at myself.

I looked at the ring on my finger.

My heart fluttered as I caressed it.

I looked at the mirror, staring at myself.

"I trust this. I trust him. From now on, Mia, no one is going to make you unhappy. No one. You deserve happiness and you are going to fight to keep it."

I nodded slightly, smiling at myself.

Oh geez.

The gym!

THIRTY MINUTES LATER.......

Dressed in jean shorts and a red crop top, I took steps towards the gym which is right ahead of me.

My hair is tied up in a messy bun and a red band around it.

Don't judge me please. I don't have gym clothes.

Plus, I don't think he is calling me to work out or something, right?

He said he has something to show me.

I can't wait to see it.

I got closer to the gym hall entrance and the sounds of the equipment filled everywhere.

I walked in and I saw Big Kai's men working out.

I looked around and my eyes fell on HIM.

He is holding a gun in his hand, fixing it while talking to one of his men.

My heart fluttered as I took in his physique.

Shirtless.

Grey sweatpants, black durag, and black leather gloves.

His shirtless body is a sight.

It is replaying last night's hot event in my head right now. Those abs are inside.

Biceps and torso.

Ugh.

Cut it out, Mia.

His eyes moved to me, making my heart race.

He smiled.

I smiled as well, walking towards him.

"Shawty," he called, approaching me.

"Hey," I said shyly.

He extended his hand to me and I placed my hand on his.

"Glad to see your fine ass here." He said, taking me towards a spot. He turned to me, staring down at me.

He is so handsome.

I can't get enough.

"Boss," one of his men called, handing him a bottle of water.

He collected it, opened and took in some amount.

That bottle can be helpful for the DNA test.

He lowered the bottle and wiped his lips with his back hand.

"That was fucking refreshing."

I nodded. "I can tell."

He smirked.

"I saw your note," I said.

"Yeah. Damn, you look like breakfast, girl."

I chuckled as my cheeks heated up.

"When I say get dressed, I didn't say extremely."

I bite my teeth a bit nervously.

"Should go change?"

"Huh?"

"I can go change right away."

He scoffed. "Fuck, no. I love it."

I smiled, lowering my gaze.

"But I'm gonna need a lot of resistance cause I wanna teach you something very important," he said, walking towards the desk behind him.

I stared at him as he placed the bottle of water on the desk and picked up a small gun. He fixed bullets in it and cocked it.

He walked back to me, staring at me. I smiled slightly as he stood in front of me.

He moved the gun toward me.

I looked at it and then at him with furrowed brows.

"Take it,"

"What?"

He placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me towards a direction and I saw a shooting range with targets ahead.

I swallowed as my heart picked up.

He stood behind me and made me hold the gun with my two hands, aiming it at the target.

"What are you......what are you doing?" I stuttered as my heart pounded.

"You gotta shoot that target, shawty," he said to my ear from behind, sending shivers down my spine.

"What?"

"Yes, baby."

The hard metal of the gun is not helping either.

This is my first time holding one and it feels disturbing.

"But I..." I attempted to turn to him but he kept me still to face the target with his hand on mine, pointing the gun at the target.

"Come on, shawty."

"Is this....what you wanted to show me?"

"Yeah."

I forced myself to turn to him.

He stared at me.

I shook my head.

"I can't do this."

"You can."

"I don't want to."

"Listen, girl, it is a cold world out there. You need to be tough and ready for anything," he said with all seriousness.

I furrowed my brows.

"Some motherfuckers need to be dealt with."

"I don't want violence."

He scoffed. "Baby, violence is a language your man speaks. You finna speak it too."

"I don't have to. Take it." I said, extending the gun to him.

He didn't take it but stared at me.

"Please, take it."

"You gonna do that shit, girl."

What is wrong with him today?!

"On the fucking scale of a hundred, I'm gonna be around you sixty percent. The remaining forty, I got the hood and businesses to handle."

I stared at him.

"What you finna do when danger comes and I ain't there?"

I didn't respond.

"You gonna need to protect yourself. Bye, a nigga some time to come rescue your ass, girl."

I kept staring at him.

"I can protect you but I won't be with you all the time. And I can't take you everywhere I go. It's fucking dangerous out there. You need to be a guard in my fucking absence."

"I understand. But no one is going to harm me. I haven't done anything to anyone."

He scoffed. "I don't wanna scare you but you ma girl, shawty. Fellas wanna do some painful shit to me, they'll use you."

My heart dropped.

"I can't afford that shit."

I lowered my gaze as my brain understood what he meant instantly.

"Take that motherfucker at the mall for example."

I looked at him.

"You would be able to defend yourself from puck asses like him."

"I did."

"Yeah right. He almost hit you."

"You stopped him," I said.

"I was there, girl. What if I wasn't?"

I stared at him.

He moved closer to me, caressing my face.

"I get it. You're scared. You ain't used to ma world. But you are about to live in it. You have to be ready for anything."

I lowered my gaze.

He raised my face with his finger on my chin.

I looked into his eyes.

His eyes fell on my lips and back to my eyes.

"You trust me?"

I nodded slightly.

He raised his brows.

"Talk to me, girl. You trust me?"

"Yes, I trust you."

"Cool. Now let's do this."

I swallowed as I turned to the target. He held my hands on the gun, directing me gently.

"Steady. Place your focus on the target and move a finger on 'em trigger."

My heart pounded.

"Ready,"

"No."

"You are, girl. You can do this. Think about the worst thing anyone has ever done to you."

My pounding heart relaxed as my mother's words came to my mind.

"This is your fault, Mia! You worthless child. I curse your birth!" Mom yelled.

I gripped the gun as anger filled me.

"That's it, girl." Big Kai said, withdrawing his hands from mine slowly.

I narrowed my eyes at the target as more words repeated in my head.

"You think you're younger and beautiful, huh? Seducing my husband! You slut!"

I felt adrenaline clouding my brain.

"She is a dumb bitch." Amy said. "The ring was fake and she didn't know."

"I can't wait to get married to her, get my inheritance, hand her over to the organ harvesters and we leave with pay to our delicious honeymoon," Axel said, laughing with Amy.

"Go for it, girl." Big Kai's words pierced into my ears like a strong force riding my anger.

I pulled the trigger, hitting the target once.

Twice.

Thrice.

"Get out of our house and our lives, you slut! Get out! I curse your birth!"

I shot the fourth.

The fifth.

The six.

The seventh!

The eighth!

I ran out of bullets.

I clicked the trigger more and more, but no shots are coming out.

I lowered the gun, staring at the target.

There are a lot of holes around it.

I let out a breathless scoff, feeling delighted at my work.

I can't believe I just did that.

I looked at Big Kai.

He is staring at me dumbfounded.

I furrowed my brows as I sensed everyone looking at me.

Oh Gosh.

I returned my eyes to Big Kai.

"What's.... what's wrong?"

"Damn," he said.

What is it?

"That's mad for a fucking beginner."

"Really? I did good?"

"Yeah, girl. I wasn't expecting that."

I blew out air as I stared at the gun.

It felt a bit easy.

"At first you were a scared kitty cat and now.....What happened? What you thought about, girl? Tell me."

I lowered my gaze as my heart tightened while I thought of what I had in mind while shot.

"Just a few things," I said, looking at him.

"Well, at least now I know training you won't be that hard." He said, taking the gun from me and walking back to the desk.

"Training me?"

"Yeah," he said, walking back to me. "You gonna learn how to fight, fix guns, and shoot more."

Oh gosh.

"Future Mrs Kincaid."

My cheeks heated up as I smiled.

"In the meantime...." He paused, looking at everyone.

"Okay, guys. That's enough for the day. Take your asses out!"

I furrowed my brows.

"Hurry the fuck up!"

Geez.

Not long later, the hall was empty with just us.

"Perfect," he said, making me look at him.

"What are you....."

He grabbed me closer by my waist in a flash, making me hit his hard chest and forcing a whimper out of me.

He crashed his lips on mine, kissing me hungrily, and withdrew his lips instantly.

A moan escaped my lips.

God, that was the hottest short kiss I have ever had.

"Your dressing, the feisty way you used the gun, all of 'em, girl turned a nigga so on. I want you now." He said, kissing my neck like a maniac.

My core throbbed instantly as my body took in the electrifying sensation from his kisses.

He gripped my breasts, as he devoured my skin.

"Big Kai,"

He groaned, picking me up and walking towards the desk.

He pushed everything down carelessly and placed me on the desk as he continued kissing my neck and collarbone.

I threw my head back as he kissed down to my chest.

God, his lips are skillful.

My eyes moved to the bottle of water on the floor.
