Chapter 22
She didn’t allow him to even move too far before she kicked off her feet, moving too fast.
“What the hell! What do you think you are doing? Marrying two brothers! Are you crazy!”
Her eyes are shades of dark, the kind of ones that made me recoil so badly when she reprimanded me.
The one that always makes me jump high to my skin as I wanted to always please her.
The one look she will give me as the tells me that her perfect son doesn’t deserve a woman like me.
The one that she would use to tell me of all the faults that were in any life and how I wasn’t fit to be her son’s wife.
I always thought she meant well, after all, that was the only son she gave birth to until she wanted to control everything that I did, and that is where i knew how messed up that was,
But now, with all those eyes and looks. Tam standing tall, letting her know that the looks don’t intimidate me anymore.
“So! I mean he was clearly up for it so why not, of course, it doesn’t have anything to do with you or…I looked at Eric, with the most disgusted look
I could ever muster.
His eyes hadn’t left my face, they were numb, and there was nothing that showed from there, he was just looking at me.
“You think marrying my stepson will make me welcome you into my home! I do not fucking care about him” She shouted right to my t
face
“Just as he doesn’t care about you“I simply said.
Without wanting to stand here and let her say
by all the gibberish I knew she would, I left her standing there as I walked straight to one of the chairs and sat down
Her eyes followed me, I could have been dead by now if her eyes could have killed me.
But it only means the pleasure that eyes were giving me was too much.
“I didn’t know you were this shameless,” For the first time he said, “Going after my brother? Was that all that was for you!”
Oh my god, is he the one to talk to right now!
Nope, he isn’t just standing there accusing me of what broke our marriage, accusing me of the very same thing he did, and with my sister too.
“Oh wow, you are the one to talk, yeah? I do not expect to hear a word from you right now, do not say a word.” I said, with the anger that was pulsing inside of me
“Don’t speak to my son that way, I don’t care what wings you decided to fly on, but you better watch it. After all, you are nothing but a cheap sack that gets passed on. Kyler said, walking to where I was seated
I let out a snort, as light Laughter followed, and then I busted into a burst of full–blown laughter.
Watching him speak like that, like he wasn’t caught cheating with my sister, like he wasn’t the one that broke that stupid thing we called if marriage.
“Since your son is a mama boy, of course, he must have told you what he did, but in case he hasn’t, let me“ Standing up. 1 faced her bead–on, not
me.”St allowing my eyes to leave her.
“Your precious son got my sister pregnant, so he shouldn’t even be the one judging me right now,”
Without missing a skip. I said to her.
Her eyes didn’t w
wither, neither did they flutter, they are hold as they are on me.
Which only means one thing, she knew about this.
A surprised scoff left my mouth, I did not know what I had been expecting, and I didn’t understand why I was even surprised, of course I know this.
Taking a deep breath, I shook my head, allowing the displeasure of what I had just found out to hold me.
“I am not surprised, of course, you knew this, and you dare judge met I will never let you make me feel less of myself when he did the same thing”
said and sat right back
She just stood there, I knew she was finding words to say to me, but there was nothing to justify what she or her son knew

Chapter 22
“Dinner is served.” One of the e chefs said, making me turn at the same time Matteo came back to the living room.
With his eyes, he was accessing me, when I gave him a slow nod, his eyes were cranking in the smile that followed, as he walked straight to where I was sitting.
“Let’s go feast.” He said, grabbing me up, he placed a kiss on my cheeks, as we held each other, and walked to the dining room.
No one is eating everyone seems to have a lot on their mind, yet the table is served with one delicious food to another.
“I do not like what is happening here,” Mr. Rodriguez said, breaking off the silence that had filled the place.
Firstly. I have been walking around all day thinking of what to wear and how to look badass in here, and now my stomach is not in a knot anymore. nope they are hungry.
So, although no one wants to eat, I am dishing out food and eating straight up.
Of course, I know the whole table is looking at me.
I was the one who ate last because I had to be in the kitchen with the rest of the staff as we sorted out dinner for this same table and the same people.
I had to be the one who made sure everything was alright, but here I am, not having care and not pleasing anyone.
That was always what I had wanted, and now it appears that I have exactly that to feast on
“We are trying our best to make you two like each other, and the next thing you did was marry your brother’s ex–wife. How does that make sense.” Kyler said, not hiding the disgust in her voice.
“I think I have made it clear that no one should concern themselves with the wife that I have chosen for myself, everyone seems to have an opinion, but of course, I am not asking.” Matteo said, looking from one person to another.
He reached out to me, holding my hand.
-This is the
e woman I have chosen, and I am just
r letting you all know.” He squeezed my hand and I felt the jilters, all the way to my feet.
This is wi
wrong
Kyler said.
Mr. Rodriguez raised his hand to stop her from speaking further.
“We are going to postpone this topic right now, everyone has an opinion, but not when food is right in front of us.” He said.
The silence that followed was so loud, as everyone was looking at the food and merely picking it out.
I let myself feast so much, let myself enjoy the presence of being here, and not worry about a single thing.
Minutes passed and everyone dropped their cutlery to the table, indicating their fullness of the way as we all thanked each other through the bitterness of heart.
They were about to stand up when Matteo hit the table, calling everyone’s attention and all eyes were focused on him.
“I want to say something.” He said, and now everyone is invested in what he had to say.
“From today, I intend to have a share in Laskay Corporation.” He declared.
His words left everyone stunned, as they all gaped at him, with nothing short of surprise leaving their faces.
