Empire- An Au Hs Fanfic (COMPLETED)

Chapter 49

I arrived home after lunch with Harry to see Anne smiling at me. "How was work?" "Good, I just have to grab a few things before leaving." 

"Where are you going?" Harry asked me, confused. "To see my brothers. I need to alert them on the issue. The team as well so Michael can go out and do recon on these guys." "I'll go with you." "No, baby. It's fine. Stay here with your mom and I'll go." 

"No, I don't feel comfortable with you traveling by yourself." "I'll be fine. I promise." "Please." "I'll go with her if it makes you feel better." Gemma offered and Harry sighed. 

"Fine. Drive safe, I love you." Harry caved and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. "I love you too." I smiled and grabbed the keys to Harry's car since I was almost out of gas on mine. 

"You taking mine?" He asked and I nodded. "Bring my baby home with no scratches or I'll divorce you!" Harry called making me giggle as I walked out to the car. 

"Ready?" I asked as Gemma got in, she nodded. She was moody with me and I came to the conclusion she didn't like me. I was alright with that, she could stab or shoot me and I'd still be nice to her for the simple fact she's my husbands sister. 

"Are you even in love with my brother or do you use him for money?" She asked, anger in her voice. "I am in love with him. And to answer the second question, contrary to popular belief, I'm actually richer than your brother. I don't need his money, I'd be completely fine if he was a dirt poor farmer." I answered honestly and continued driving. 

"Can I ask you something?" I asked, tapping my lip. She nodded, giving me an eye. "May I ask, why you don't like me?" "You seem too perfect. I hate it, you might have my brother under some kind of trance or spell and my mom, Robin too but there's something off about you." I nodded as I soaked her words in.

"I'm actually not perfect. Your brother seems to think so but I'm not. I think he's the perfect one." "Tell me one of your flaws then." "I have a scar that runs up my back along my spine. It's a battle wound from a traumatic event in my past." I leaned forward a little and exposed my scar to her. 

"Falling off your bike is not traumatic." "I actually got it when my dad made me go to his best friend's house who he swore he could trust. I went for a summer and they abused me like I was an animal, cutting me open and poking my organs if I didn't complete their task. I got that when I refused to give a blowjob to one of them so they tied me to the table and gave that little beauty to me with a scythe." 

"Miracle you didn't blow them." "I was 8." My voice trailed off and her face softened for a second before hardening again. I tried my hardest to be nice to her as I found it increasingly difficult. 

"I'm sorry." "Don't apologize if you don't mean it. It's fine if you don't like me, I won't treat you any differently than I would your mom or step-dad. You can honestly shoot me, stab me or even kill me and I will never change the way I look at you." 

"Why?"

"You're my husband's sister. Harry is a different story, he'll actually do something to you." I rubbed my eye and let go of the wheel for a second to stretch before putting one back on. 

"Noble." "I try to be." I shrugged and continued my path to my brother's house. "Where are we going?" "My brother's house. I have something to discuss with all of them." I picked up my phone and dialed Nick.

"Hello?" His voice rung through the bluetooth. "Nick, gather the team and our brothers please. I have some troubling news." "What? Are you and Harry divorcing?" "No, nothing like that." I chuckled and he let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god, I thought I was going to have to kick his ass if he hurt my little sister, not that you can't handle yourself. What's the issue?" "I'll explain when I get there, I'm about 20 minutes out."
