My Master, My Husband (BOOK 1)

Chapter 43- For my very dysfunctional family.

I didn't thought it would be that easy honestly. Until he said "But I still have some other business I need to attend with your brother."

"What kind of business? Isn't it just the money?"
"I told you he almost ruined my family, I'll have to do the same with him."

"What are you talking about? What are you trying to say? You sealed the deal already, you can't harm him." I couldn't believe nor understand how at this point I still cared for that jerk's safety.
"That's some private stuff and the deal was to keep him alive not not hurting him-"
"That's some bullshit! If I don't get to have the right of some privacy neither do you guys, plus you're talking about my... ugh, regrettably, my brother. If there's anything I could do to fix his mistake..." It was confusing, the love-hate feelings I had for Dylan.

I couldn't let him be, but at the same time I couldn't let him not be. I wanted him to pay for all the dumb shit he's done, but I couldn't just let this guy hurt him. It all concluded in... I wanted him to suffer but I loved him so much that I couldn't bear to have him suffer.

Why did I care? He was almost a stranger now--but he was the best brother before he left or so I thought. Let's just say I'm a human being and as a normal human being I had to care for a member of my family, nothing out of the ordinary.

"I thought you and your little detective friend knew everything, seems you left out the most important issue here." Cold sweat ran down my forehead, great, now Angel could be in danger as well-- I got him involved in this.
"How do you--" he stopped me with a wave.
"I have eyes everywhere, you guys got this far only because I let you, I knew it was just a game for you, nothing to be worried about. But you see... your brother, he played me really hard. The money he owes? He tricked his way in my family, he made my son fall in love with him just to have free... cocaine, then he got ambitious and slept with my wife, escaping with a package of almost a billion in value. I took him in the family, treated him as my child and he did nothing but betray me after I payed all his debts. So, he has to pay one way or another." With each word my jaw dropped more, and here I thought there was no way Dylan could surprise me more... but once again he surpassed the expectations. I just wanted something to threaten him away from my long desired job, this is maybe too much. Too much for me to handle on my own.

If I had just accepted Joseph's decision  at the party, maybe I'd stayed at the presidency minding my own business. I wouldn't had known about him and Chloe or I wouldn't be talking to a freaking criminal right now finding a way to save Dylan's ass. Seriously, it feels I'm the older sibling not him.

"I, I understand. I want to kill him too, but my mother would get mad at me and also he's my brother, I can't just let him die in your hands."
"I won't harm him physically don't worry. I'll break his heart like he did with Michaello..." Wait, Michaello?! Oh my God, of course! He's his son, oh God, Dylan and Michaello? Together? I can't imagine it, such a handsome man with... Dylan. "I'll only probably give his girlfriend a little scare." His girlfriend... Chloe! Again I lost my composure and jumped from my seat and he just straightened his back still seated.

"You're not to touch her either, look I know the feeling, I know how it feels to want nothing but vengeance. However, you're messing with the wrong family here. If you do something to Dylan or his girl or me or even my husband you'll follow our path. A threat for a threat, an eye for an eye--"
"Ha!" He stood right in front of me, only one step away for our bodies to touch. "You think too much of yourself dear. How could a dysfunctional family like yours have your back? Look at you, fighting on your own for a job that's rightfully yours, the attempt of a father you have doesn't give a shit about you or your mother. Your mother is a coward, your father is a coward, your brother is out of his mind and your dear husband sees you only as a pet. How could a family like that be a threat to me? Oh please, God save me." If I had the chance to win I would've kicked his balls right now, he doesn't know anything.
