Julls POV
After the passionate night I had with Antonio, I slept like a child. I didn't even hear when Antonio woke up and left for work as I woke up by myself in his bed.
The bed was strongly smelling of Antonio, I guess he can't change the sheets. Atleast Wendy is coming today.
I had a good time with Antonio but that's all it was, we're definitely not planning for kids and happily ever after. I quickly get off the bed before I lose my senses and rush to my room.
I take a morning after pill and a quick shower then go to my family home for breakfast already running late.
When I get home I find Matt unhappy about something and reprimanding the staff, okay so I'm not late. I move to see Maggie and find her almost done preparing breakfast and she's too happy to see me.
She hands over the remaining work to her assistant and we sit down and chat, she wants to know all about what is happening in this sham of a marriage and she's very heartbroken on my behalf for all the events my life has taken. I try putting her at ease without giving too many details and she's delighted the situation has improved as she has been praying for me, so much love from this woman.
Matt badges into the kitchen less then pleased with Maggie for taking long and he shoos me out of the kitchen.
My family is already seated in the breakfast area with both my brothers here already and having small chatter about business no doubt.
"Julls, you're also here. What a pleasant day today is, that we get to all have breakfast together" my father gushes while my mother agrees
"good morning family" I say smiling and taking my sit and food follows me in shortly.
"why not bring Antonio to breakfast Julie?" mother asks while we eat and she just annoys me because I mean, do I now have to carry Antonio with me everywhere I go?
"Antonio is busy mother" Leo tells her knowing for sure I wasn't going to tell her.
"is he still busy with the international deal?" dad asks
"yeah, he has done really good work with it" Leo goes back to business with dad
"Micah is everything well" I ask Micah who nods in agreement
"mother did you ask Micah why he didn't bring Sammy to breakfast?" that was me of course.
"that girl is not family dear" she responds nonchalant
"I am marrying her mother, you better start treating her like family now to make it easy" Micah finishes his food
The temperature immediately dropped, mother let down her cutlery "you will do no such thing, that girl-" she tried to say something but Micah was having non of it
"her name is Sammy mother, and you better get used to her because I am marrying her and that's final" Micah reprimands mother
"calm down son-" dad tries to say but Micah shuts that down as well
"no I will not calm down, I am tired of mother dictating my life. Mother I am warning you, stop meddling" Micah emphasizes pointing a finger. Micah... Micah.... Micah.... This brother of mine is the kind of material history books are made of.
"do not point your finger at me, where do you get being this disrespectful?" mother retorts to her old ways, pulling her weight of course.
"mother, the only thing I will hear from you at this point is you understand. I am not asking for your permission or opinion, I am marrying Sammy. My decision is final. I am capable of making this decision as an adult" Micah finished and Leo cleared his throat in enjoyment while I obviously loughed fully entertained.
"you will not talk to m-" mother tried saying something but Micah stood up, silenced her with his hand and calmly explained,
"mother, you will not threaten me or bully me, this is not 1 of those situations and try anything with Sammy and see what I do" he said so effectively it brought chills to my skin, dad cleared his throat understanding the seriousness of the situation while mother got red with anger but remained quiet.
"thank you for the breakfast, I will see you all" Micah finished while still on his feet and left the table.
Leo carried on with his food like nothing happened and I was starring at mother in satisfaction while my father drank a glass of water.
I swear mother's heart stopped pumping blood to the brain, it took her atleast 3 minutes for her thought process to function again.
"who the hell does Micah-" she was about to go on a rant but dad effectively shut that down as well,
"stop it" he reprimanded very angrily
"you will not drive our children away from us. Leave them alone" dad finished effectively closing this argument.
Mother got beet red if I could call it that, she huffed in anger "you really lack a backbone Andrew" she spat in annoyance and left the table leaving my dad pissed off at her statement.
"dad I'm afraid I also have to get going, I will update you tomorrow" Leo said leaving the table as well, he kissed my heard and said "bye Julls" when passing by me.
This now left just me and my dad at the table. "dad you married a witch" I commented teasing him
This immediately calmed my father down, I tease him about mother all the time, it's our banter that we find humor in.
"I am cursed, my gem truly" he responded loughing and quickly changed the subject
"I have been meaning to ask you about the development of your show" he asks
"everything is well, it is progressing alright" to be honest I don't know, I just approve appointments and payments and sign for changes that's it
"have you even seen the work done?" well it seems my dad won't let this go
"uhhm yes" I lie again
"my gem, you can't be this careless. This is your chance to show yourself the way you have been dreaming of doing in the industry, why are you wasting opportunity like this?" my dad really didn't buy into my lies
"it's just, that I am preoccupied shooting the movie as time" I try to make excuses
"you are not looking at this from the right angle my gem, do you understand what it would mean having a mediocre show produced under your name?" he asked, I have not really thought about it like that.
My dad is right, this could ruin me just as much as it could uplift me. Do I even still have a chance to correct things here?
"come on my gem, let's go and have look at how the show is really progressing" dad said standing up and moving and he offered me his hand, helping me up.
That is how I spent the day, with my dad helping me actually oversee the production of the show. Looking at the tapes of the work done so far and deciding on changes and implementing new process. Today was really work for your money girl kind of day, dad is a slave driver, we didn't even get lunch as he couldn't believe the amount of work to be done.
I hate to admit it but he was right, I have a lot of work to do. I almost made a huge mess of negligence and thankfully I can still fix it.
