"Let me know how did you get in here?" He asks with his known cold tone.
"You know that that b*tch is cheating many times yet you continue making her live here? I hope you won't get sick if you marry her." I gritted my teeth.
"Excuse me, I won't interfere with what you both going through but you really can't judge people without knowing me," I said. I tip-toed to see the middle age in front of Hunter. "I am speaking nicely, if you don't want to get my anger poured all over you," I warn. I am reaching my limits.
"You have nothing to compare to his mom, such a fuck addicted!" I crouched down to tell Adrian and Brian to go to their room and they did it. I didn't wait for them to reach their room and went out of Hunter's back and face the old man.
"We might have a big age gap, but when I reached my limits, age doesn't matter to me. If I know I am right, I'll fight. I already warn you, didn't I? I won't get offended if you tell me I am ugly but what you just say is under the belt already." I bend down to get the newspaper on the floor and pat it in his chest. "People have their limits and I'm trying to set my limits on a higher level so I can tolerate people with damage in their minds," I smirk.
"You didn't just insult me but even his mother. If I told you your mother is a fail and your parents were useless? Wouldn't you feel offended? Of course, you won't because you're dumb." I moved closer to him and was about to slap his cheeks with the newspaper when he grab my arms and twisted it.
I click my cheeks using my tongue and chuckled, darkly. I turn around, not minding the pain I feel in my wrist, and push him to the back of the couch while putting my elbow to his chest. "Wrong move,"
He pushed me and was about to fall backward, I was so shocked and tried to look for something to hold on to but nothing. My eyes closed and waited for the hard floor to have contact with my back. I felt a hand wrapping around my waist and stop me from falling, I slowly open my eyes while he make me stand up. I looked at him in shock. He didn't give me any look and left me to walk towards the middle-aged man.
"You can say something that can destroy me but," he paused. He looks back at me with a calm, just like he's letting me see his soft soul by just looking at me. "Don't ever touch what's mine," he added. The old man stands straight with hatred showing in his eyes as he looks at me.
He was about to throw a hand at Hunter but he grip on it and threw his hand harshly making me annoyed at him. What Hunter did is not allowed, it's rude. I don't know what is happening right here but this middle-aged man in front of us needs respect and he needs to respect us even we're young than him. But there's something in me that got relief when I saw him throw his hand.
"This brat, didn't I told you to break up with her?! She's a gold digger!" I turn around after hearing him shout, and to see him pointing at me, angrily. I shouldn't be get triggered at his words because I know to myself, I am not a GOLD DIGGER!
I wouldn't eat for a day and work all day just to have money... I won't ask someone to help me or be greedy for someone's money. I gritted my teeth, "You don't know me and I don't know you, everyone is not allowed to judge others they still don't know." I jumped in, raising my voice.
His red, angry eyes shifted to me, "Yeah, I don't know you? You stayed here for a month!" He scoff, "You even flirt with James the night you stayed here." I was taken aback. What? When did I flirt with him that night?
Before he could say something about me, Hunter slide between us. "Shut it. Since she left, I dismissed you in my life, Adrian's life. You're not capable of controlling my life now," he said, sternly. In every word he left his mouth, there's a hint of pain and sadness and anger. "You're nothing." He grits his teeth.
The middle-aged man looked at me with the same emotion in his eyes before turning to Hunter, without uttering a word. That's when his gaze went past Hunter. He then looks at me with his mouth open wide. I look behind and see Melanie still standing there, watching the scene with her straight face but something is bothering her.
"Leave my house." The middle-aged man stop for a minute but narrowed his eyes to Melanie, Hunter followed his gaze and look at her too. It feels like someone threw a knife and it landed on my heart as I watch him look at her. The scene a while ago in his room repeated on my mind, they're engaged now, so they can do whatever they want now. They can build a family now before they got married.
Soon, the middle-aged man didn't fight back and turn around to leave. "Be safe," I said in a soft a sarcastic tone. Weird? I know right. I turn around and see Hunter looking at me, his eyebrow lifted a bit.
I didn't follow the middle-aged man walk without me following him with my gaze as I am also disappointed and hurt from what he said and treated me. I bowed to them and lowered my head before I turn around and leave from there.
I went straight to my room and buried my face in my pillow as the pillow touch my cheeks, its sting. I lift my head from the pillow and that's when I saw blood on my pillow's cover. I didn't do anything but cry and sob hardly to let the pain out of my heart.
I'm hurt, not just mentally but also physically. My energy, I felt them get drained every hour passed by and there are no tears to cry so I stop and decided to leave my room to get myself water since no one is here to comfort me and get some water for me.
I felt lonely. I wish Ayden, Shane and Noah would be here to hear things out and also to be my crying shoulder and a shield but nothing. They were all gone with their business, leaving me alone. My eyes felt heavy maybe because I cried.
I filled my glass with water and gulp it. Just then, I remember it again, the way he looks at her. I am facing the back of his head but I am sure he was staring at her full of worried so he demand he to leave. I cried again, I bend down to the island to support myself from falling with that glass in my hand.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. I look at it, curious. It's not evening, who would visit me at this hour? Or what could be the reason why they would come to me? I sigh and wipe my eyes to threw my tears away and made my way to the main door to open it.
There's Hunter, standing in my doorway. My straight face was shown, the more I want to act cold like he is doing, the more I felt like I look like a fool so I did not dare to do it but put on a straight face instead.
His eyes stared at mine, I look away from him. "What are you doing here?" I ask. I felt my eyes begun to get watery, I shouldn't have drink water if only I knew I will get teary again.
I didn't expect him to be in here though. I felt his gaze fall to my cheeks but I didn't do anything.
"L-let me treat your wound," he said, with a low voice. He maybe felt embarrassed from what the middle age man did a while ago inside his house.
"Teacher!" Two little boys said in unison and the foot running was heard as I and Hunter stayed quiet. Before I knew it, someone hug me making me step backward.
I look down to see Adrian and Brian hugging the lower of my waist, I crouched down to make myself level with them, "You both did a great job, you listen to me a while ago." I giggle at them, I look at Adrian and mess his hair as I did it to Brian too.
"You..." Adrian started, looking down at my lips. "It is bleeding, Lia," he said, there's a hint of worriedness in his voice. He points to my lips. I stops and chuckled.
"Hmm, I accidentally bite it while I am eating the pizza I order last night." I forced a chuckle. "Don't you think about what happened a while ago ever again, hmm? It was all nothing, don't be angry about what you just saw, hmm?"
They both nodded. "Yes, Lia!" They both even motion their hand as if they are army, saluting.
I chuckle, this time it wasn't forced now. They are cuteness overload! "Where did you get my name? I thought I introduce myself as Alexandria." Being playful, Adrian playfully lifts his eyebrows then looks at me and Hunter.
After noticing his teasing stare, Hunter cleared his throat making me shift in my place, uncomfortably. The three jerks roots for me and Hunter get well along together and my vexation to them suddenly vanished as they stop teasing me about it every day.
They would just tease me when I mention his name which I think every day since my favorite author is HunterC19, what can you expect? I don't know his full name but Hunter is the best name for him, I think so. Whenever I mention 'Hunter' they would tease me thought the person I am talking about is not the Hunter, my enemy but my favorite author.
And now, this little boy on either side of me was also rooting for me and Hunter. I scoff but I covered it with a fake chuckle. "Want to went inside and play?" They both nodded, I point at the living room as they both run towards there.
To be continued.
