Chapter 14: CHPATER 14: MEETING THEM PT.2

Amethyst was smiling from ear to ear as we sat across them. It's not just Amethysts but his whole family, and this man beside me had the nerve to eat like nothing was happening.

I don't know what his cousin told the whole family, but I think I know what since she found us in that embarrassing position tsk. Stupid Isaac.

Anyway, the whole family is here, from Isaac's parents, brothers and sisters to their extended family like his cousins etc.

"I'm sorry for calling you out this late mija," I faked a smile and told them it was alright.

I looked at Isaac through the side of my eyes and saw him chewing his food slowly as his free hand draped down my leg.

This mother fucker! What the bloody hell does he think he's doing?! In front of his family at that! Is he insane?!

I tried kicking him but his muscles were too hard I got hurt instead Tsk.

His hand started caressing my skin and it felt uncomfortable and weird at the same time.

I was about to continue eating when I saw one of his brothers looking at me with wide eyes. But then he raised his fork and an idea popped up.

I cursed under my breath and pinched Isaac's hand. He must've seen what was happening under the table after he picked up his fork.

After that scene, Isaac's brother never stopped looking at me, to the point that it started to be creepy.

Does being weird run in the family? What's wrong with that dude? Isaac must've noticed me being uneasy and traced the cause of it.

His brow instantly furrowed when he saw how his brother was looking at me. Isaac's jaw clenched and was about to pull a gun in his pocket if I didn't stop him.

I shook my head and held his hand throughout the meal just in case he tried to pull a gun out on his brother.

I guess his family doesn't have any idea about their son's involvement with the mafia and the dark market.

After the meal, Amethyst was wiggling her brows at me as if she knew something juicy.

She must've seen me holding Isaac's hand earlier since we were sitting next to each other.

I saw Isaac pulling his brother out of the garden and I kind of got worried something might happen so I followed them secretly.

"What was that," Isaac asked with a hint of anger in his voice.

"What? What did I do?"

"You were looking at MY WIFE,"

"Pfft. Oh, come on Blaze, I was just looking at her. Skip the nagging and just tell it to me straight, you're just worried that the girl you love might come and choose me instead of you,"

Isaac gritted his teeth and was about to punch his brother but I was so pissed that I have to step up.

"Then maybe that woman was blind," I said and walked straight to Isaac's side. He was looking at me in shock but let's ignore him for now.

"What did you say, woman?" Must have hit the nerve huh?

"You deaf or something? I said you're ugly," I exclaimed with one of my eyebrows raised.

Isaac's brother scoffed and laughed like a fool. "Now I know why you picked her, you're the same as him. You're both crazy! " That's it! I'm killing this guy!

But before I could even land a punch, Isaac was one step closer. He punched his brother and he fell on his butt.

"No one insults my wife, if you aren’t my stepbrother you'd be dead by now." Wow. Did he just defend me?

His brother started running back inside and yelled something but I didn't get to hear it.

"I'm sorry mi gatito," I'll accept his apology since he looks like a puppy right now.

We went back in together and found that brother beside his father, his expression didn't look nice.

"I heard what happened," I was about to answer when he suddenly punched my HUSBAND on the cheek.

What the bloody hell?!

"Given your age, you ought to be able to accept that!" What kind of logic is that?!

I threw a glance at Isaac and he was just accepting all the beating his father was giving him! Was he treated like this before too? I can't take this anymore.

I grabbed his hand before he could throw another punch. He was surprised to see me there but I was just so angry.

"If this is your definition of family then I don't want to be part of it."

"B-But mija—"

"Do you expect me to watch you beat my husband for a crime he didn't even do? Why don't you ask that great son of yours what happened? He was giving me dirty looks all through the meal. My husband was just defending me now tell me! Does he deserve every hit you gave him? If your answer is still yes then I won't just stand and watch you hurt him any further!"

Isaac's dad couldn't utter a single word.

Isaac pulled me out of that place and went home. When we arrived home he suddenly stopped walking and spoke," Don't ever do that again, "

You're kidding.

"Well, I'm sorry for being worried—" I was cut off when he suddenly looked my way.

"Don't ever receive a beating for me!" I was dumbfounded. This was the first time he ever shouted at me.

"I was just—" *I was just trying to protect you. *

"Save it. It's been a long day. You should rest, good night." That was the last thing he said before walking away.

I went out of the garden and grabbed a bottle of beer.

HA! Why did I even care about that bloody fool? Get beaten up! Like I care!

Who said I was worried about you?! I'm going to take over your organization and kill you! Stupid Isaac!

Wait— someone's here...
