BURDE
& livid, and furious, even when I told him what happened earlier today
There were so many emotions that were going through his face after Thad nirrated what transpired between us today.
leave any stone unturned and made sure he knew what I had gone through and what I had heard.
“I don’t still understand the capacity to do that, they purposely chose to hurt you and thought it was nothing? That is fucking selfish of them”
His hands were pressed together as he tried to suppress the anger from what I had just told him, the evidence of the pressing need of the anger was
Lam trying to control myself and not let a single teardrop from my eyes.
“I don’t know why they did that to me, I am still attempting to wrap my head around the fact that they chose to pass me around, but no matter what Icouldn’t place anything on it
crazy that my father, whom I would have given anything and swore with my life that he only loved me, was with them on it.
And then Eric, Eric never for one day cared about me. It w
- me. It was all too painful to think about.
“I discovered something when I was going through the company file.” He said, reaching out into the bag on the table, he snapped out a piece of paper and handed it to me.
This shows that between the space of y your marriage to my brother, your father’s company had gone bankrupt, and he was trying to borrow loans from different organizations….
cr, who wanted something from him, in addition to his daughter.” It was all written there, clearly
“And no one could give it to him unless your father, for my eyes to see.
The two companies required each other to survive, and all they could think about that would bring that partnership was sacrificing me
The idea of knowing more truth from this hurt so much.
my
emotions weren’t thought abour”
“I always thought so highly of myself, until I found out that I wasn’t, I was just some random child that
The saying of the word out of my mouth, the feeling of the huge emotions that weighed on me, was too much
I don’t know what to do with all these things that are holding me back. I have no idea where I should place them or what I should do with them.
“We promised to make them pay remember, I don’t want you to dwell on this for so long, I know everything will be fine at the end of the day” He reached his hands out and slowly took mine.
The squeeze was reassuring, it was telling me that I didn’t have to worry about anything because he was there, and he would make sure that everything was okay.
I felt too right.
“We have the usual family dinner tomorrow, and you are family, of course, this will be the perfect time to introduce you.” He said, withdrawing his
My hand felt cold after he was taken away. I have to remind myself that I do not need a man to survive and that through me, he is taking the revenge he was supposed to take on them a long time ago.
“Thave to look so perfect, and I will” I said.
“All you need is yourself there, you don’t have to worry about anything else.” He gave me a reassuring glance, and even when i told myself that I didn’t need all that, knowing that he was going to stand up for me and care about me without looking sideways, made me feel so much better, much better than I could imagine.
My eyes are lifted with the most sophisticated eye makeup I have ever done.
My face is lifted with the high chin makeover that transformed my way and made it more g
glowing than it had ever been.
Matteo hadn’t stopped looking at me as I got into the car, when I turned my eyes to the mirror, his eyes were fixed there and on me.

“You look.
He adjusted a little bit and 1 gave him a tight smile.
“I know exactly how I look.”
The black knee–length dress doesn’t help matters, it was a statement, something that I wanted them to see and notice.
“We are here.” He got into the compound and I felt the knots in my stomach.
They are huge, it felt like it was a battle that I was about to fight in there.
“Hey, I’m always beside you.” He reached out to me as he held my hand.
The knots eased bit by bit before I knew I was ready to get out of the car
He took my hand as soon as we were out of the car, and we stepped into the house together.
Our hands are adorned with twinkling rings, the ones that shine so well that you will notice no matter what.
It was a promise that joined us together, not in a marriage union, but of the beat in our hearts to beat them at their games.
When we stepped into the living room with the family inside, I was trying not to concentrate on their faces, they all looked too stunned to say a word
Eric and Kyler, his mother especially.
The wine in their hands is all hanging out, and the Laughter that was in their eyes is immediately dead as we walk in.
“I am here.” Matteo announced, he nudged me closer, and I was cranking under the weight of his arms as he pulled me closer, “with my wife, Birdie Williams” He introduced.
My eyes immediately landed on Kyler, her mouth hanging open as she stared at the two of us, lost on the next word to say.
They all look so lost.
His father, Mr. Rodriguez, was the first to snap out of the dare
“What the hell are you talking about?” He shouted ingmedutely.
Matteo, who was still holding me, walked to where his father was, with me in his arms.
“This is my wife, Birdie Williams, my bride. He said while a smile was left hanging in his mouth.
And all I could see was the death threat and anger filled his father’s eyes.
“To my office right now” Mr. Rodriguez declared, before casting a little look at me as he walked away from the scene
His eyes are as hot as his footsteps is
“I will be back” Carefree Matteo said to me, as he took my hand into his, lifting him, he dropped a kiss there, and before I could grasp he dropped. qpuck kiss to my cheeks, disappearing immediately.
Looking up, I am left with his stepmother Kyler, and of course, my ex–husband.
Now I’m interested in what they are about to say, more than interested I will say
