"I came to speak to the men of the ranch, now excuse me," she scoffs looking at Alice with distain.
"Well, I'm the owner of the ranch and I say you aren't welcome," she glares at the woman. "You need to leave immediately."
"You aren't the owner, they are, you left," she glared as she tried to walk past.
"No," Alice stood in front of her. "I said you aren't welcome, this is MY ranch, if you so much as touch me, I will call the authorities and you will be arrested for trespassing and assault. There are cameras everywhere so it has already been documented that I have requested for you to get off my property twice so I suggest you be very careful of your next decision."
"You can't stop me," she glared, "I have every right to talk to my fiancés if I want to."
Alice chuckled, "You're lying but it was a cute attempt to try and shock me."
"No I'm not," she glared.
"Everything okay here?" Owen asked as they came up behind her. "Patricia, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see you of course," she smirked then pouted, "but she says I can't come in."
"It's her house," Axel shrugged, "if she says no, then the answer is no. She's the boss."
"No, she isn't," Patricia glared, "she left you and the ranch! Her grandmother left everything to you."
"No, she didn't," Alice glared, "It's mine and I'm back now so get off my property. This is your final warning." Alice pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"Listen here, Bitch, I have every right to speak to my fiancés if I want. If you don't let me in this house, I will make your life a living hell."
"News flash Bitch you already did when you decided to be a fucking whore and fucked my fiancés knowing they were in a committed relationship and you lowered yourself even more by doing it at work," Alice glared as she took a step towards her. "Yeah, you may have embarrassed me and yourself by showing everyone just how insecure and desperate you are if you have to throw yourself at men already in a relationship and ruin said relationship but that doesn't give you the right to try and intimidate me after all these years much less lie to my face. I know for a fact that you are lying about your relationship with my workers. One, you aren't wearing a ring, and yet I, who actually is engaged, wear my ring with pride," she held up her hand to show her ring. "I never take it off and I even have a replacement one for when this one has to go to the cleaners. Two, since I am THE boss, I write their checks which means I have access to their information for their W-2's and guess what? Each one of them file as single. I'm claimed by both of my fiancés, and I claim them. Oh, and they are single on all their social media accounts, if you were truly engaged you would be on their pages and you aren't. Three, they LIVE on the ranch and the whole time I've been here I have yet to see you which means you don't live here. Now you can either admit you are just a pathetic whore who lives to cause drama by constantly trying to bring up the past, or you can keep up your lies and I can make a very quick call to multiple officers who work for me, and they can do a background investigation on you for me and they are VERY thorough in their investigations. Much like how I know about your drug stint, and you being charged AND arrested for infidelity by your ex-husband who has sole custody of your son."
"You BITCH!" She screamed as she slapped Alice across the face.
"HEY!" all the men shouted as they stepped forward.
"DON'T!" Alice shouted, making them freeze. She opened her phone while staring at Patricia who was huffing in anger. "Officer Romeo, contact your friends at the station and send out the first available police officer please, then you have my permission to access my cameras for evidence. I want Patricia Hobbs arrested for assault and harassment."
"Yes Ma'am," he said then hung up.
"You just made the worst mistake in your life other than losing your child," Alice said through clenched teeth. "Now I suggest you get it through your thick skull not to fuck with me or MY ranch and start straightening up your pathetic excuse of a life."
"YOU FUCKING WHORE!" She screamed as she lunged at Alice again. Alice grabbed her wrist twisted and pinned it behind her back while applying pressure making her howl in pain. Alice pushed forward making her stumble into the yard.
"Ma'am?" an officer asked as he hopped out of his car.
"Yes Officer, this is the woman that assaulted me," Alice grunted as she shoved her forward.
"Can you undo the military grip, Ma'am?" the officer asked as he rushed to her side. "I have her now."
"Thank you, Officer," Alice said instantly letting go.
"Do you need to go to the hospital?"
"No," Alice shook her head, "Just take the pictures for evidence and Officer Romeo will give you the camera footage you will require. It has sound so you should have everything you need for the case. I WILL be pressing charges as well as filing as RO first thing in the morning."
"Yes Ma'am," the officer said as his partner took Patricia away.
"Excuse me," Alice sighed as her phone started ringing, "it's my fiancés." She opened the video chat, "Can I please call you back? I'm speaking to officers right now."
"No," They said at the same time, "leave it on so we can hear everything."
"Yes Sirs," She nodded while wiping away a tear. "I'm okay."
"Ma'am?" The officer called so she lowered the phone and turned back to the officer. "Here is our cards, if you think of anything else please call us. One of us will notify you with updates."
"Thank you, Officers," Alice nodded.
"THIS ISN'T OVER BITCH! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!" Patricia shouted right before the officer shut the door and left.
"I'm so sorry we can't be there for you, Pet," Jasper sighed. "Are you okay? Show me your face now."
"Hold on, I'll go inside," she smiled softly. She headed back into the house and headed to her room. Turning on the light, she sniffled, "I'm okay, it was just a slap, I promise. Officer Romeo—"
"We already got it," Jackson growled then sighed, "I'm so proud of you Pet. You kept your cool and—"
"That was the perfect self defense move, Pet," Jasper interrupted.
"Cub," Jackson warned.
"Sorry," Jasper sighed, "Anyway, we are very proud of you, Pet."
"Thank you," Alice sniffled. "I wish you were here."
"We do too," Jackson replied.
"Go put some Tiger Balm on, Meine Liebe (My Love)," Jasper commanded.
"Then put one of our shirts on and get some rest, Il Mio Cuore (My Heart)," Jackson said softly. "We will be there as soon as we can."
"Yes Sirs," She said as she opened the drawer and pulled out Jasper's tiger balm.
"We love you, Pet," they said at the same time.
"I love you too."
