Yours Truly

Chapter 11

"Owen?" Sean asked as he pushed open the office door. "Dinner is ready."

"Not now," Owen mumbled as he kept typing on his laptop. "Not hungry."

"We have company, Owen," North said walking into the room. "You're needed."

"Not now," he shook his head. "I'm busy."

"Owen," North cleared his throat making Owen sigh and look up, "You need to join us for dinner tonight. It's important."

Owen squinted then nodded, "Very well." He stood and slipped his suit jacket on then began adjusting his cufflinks. He ran his fingers over his face and made the mental note to shave later since his stubble was starting to get out of control again.

"Owen Dear, so pleased you can join us." He tensed hearing that annoying voice from hell.

"What are you doing here?" Owen glared as he stood in the doorway. Anger started to roll through him as he fought to remain composed. He so did not need this right now.

"Why I came to have family dinner of course," she smirked as she strolled over to him. "I'm so please you can finally join us. I have so missed you the past few times I have come to have dinner with all of you. I'm so glad I have finally caught the perfect time to have a family meal. It broke my heart every time I missed it the past few months."

"Yeah right," Nathan mumbled as he crossed his arms. "Why are you really here, Karen? Why have you been showing up all of a sudden these past four months? What are you up to?"

"I told you," She smiled, "to have family dinner with my husbands."

"Ex," Axel corrected. "We're divorced."

"Actually," she beamed as she sat in the chair at the end of the table, "about that."

"What?" Kota glared.

"Why imagine my surprise when I was looking over very important paperwork for my living will, as per my lawyer's advice of course," she crossed her legs, flung her long blonde hair over her shoulder, and took a drink of water before continuing, "and I happened to notice a very important detail."

"What?" Axel gripped the chair in front of him.

"What do you mean you just happened to be looking over paperwork?" Kota asked. "Why are you coming up with a living will?"

"Because my lawyers said I should be prepared for anything," She smiled. "You never know what can happen, sweet Kota."

"I know," Raven growled while popping his knuckles.

"Hush," Corey whispered making Raven growl.

"You really should get your anger under control Yevgeny," She said patting his chest. "It's not good for your health."

"Nyet touch me," He growled glaring down at her.

"Anyway," Axel said trying to get things under control, "you were saying, Karen?"

"Well, my dear sweet Axel, we are still married," she smirked. "It seems the judge never signed the divorce decree."

"You're lying," Owen seethed why straightening his tie.

"I would never lie to you Owen Dear," she gasped setting the glass back on the table. "Although, I can't say that your little toy can say the same about you."

"I've never lied to her," Owen fumed. "What did you do?"

"Nothing dramatic, Owen," she rolled her eyes. "I swear you always jump to the worst conclusions."

"Because I know you, you like to destroy any sense of happiness we gain because we won't put up with your shit or cave to your pathetic ways," he glared, "now what did you do, Karen?"

"Just showed her the paperwork showing our marriage is still legal and made the comment that it wouldn't look good for her business if people knew she was sleeping with a married man. I know you told her we were divorced but since we aren't, well," she sighed, "I was just looking out for her woman to woman."

"You fucking bitch!" Gabriel screamed slamming his hands on the table. "You will pay for this, you fucking whore!"

"Now now, Gabriel," she tsked, "is that anyway to speak to your wife?"

"Go to fucking hell you bitch," he glared. "You are not my wife! You lied and when we figure out what you did, you will pay!"

"All I did was tell the truth," She shrugged and stood, "but I can see that tonight is not a good night for family dinner. I'll try again another night once everyone has calmed down."

"Don't come back," North glared, digging his fingers into his crossed arms. It was taking everything in him to not lash out at her. "You aren't welcome here."

"We'll see about that," She smirked as she stepped out onto the porch then turned to face them with a sly smirk on her lips. "You can't replace your first love."

"Guess it's a good thing you weren't our first love then," Brandon smirked shutting the door in her shocked face. "We really need to find some better security guards that won't let her in."

"She's lying," Owen said straightening his tie again. "She has to be."

"Of course she is," Axel nodded. "She's just trying to cause trouble again."

"She's going to pay for this," Owen said heading to his office. "Corey, Victor find Mia NOW!"

"Yep," Corey nodded while Victor opened their laptops, "on it."
