He was fucked. And she made sure he knew. Tommy practically had everything a man could desire; a beautiful and loyal wife, a huge house with an equally as huge property, family and strong bonds with them, a fancy car, loads of money, and a child on the way. Not to mention, business was successful as ever, but it apparently just wasn't enough for him.
Tommy almost wanted to blame Linda for Y/n's accusation, but he knew she was only telling the truth. They fought, arguing about his choices, but hidden behind her reddened face and daggered words formed with anger, she was terrified. Beyond terrified.
"Thomas! You're going to mess up, and I'm only telling you beforehand so you find a way to prevent it. And the way to prevent it is to take a b-"
"Take a break? Y/n, we have money, food, loyal allies, and so much more-"
"Yes! That's exactly why you should stop! And when our child comes into this world, they're likely to wish for the same thing!"
"And what may that be?"
"Your goddamn safety, Thomas!" He scoffed, walking to his desk and pouring himself a drink as he reclined into the chair. "Are you even listening to me?"
"Yep."
"I'm worried sick, Tom! It's not like you have to go through the horror-fueled thoughts of 'will my husband even come home tonight?' or 'will my child be lucky enough to experience life with a father?' So please, indulg-" He shot up, grabbing her arms and pushing her into his desk lightly. "Let go of me."
"Not until you calm down."
"Go to hell."
"And leave you here all alone?" His smile was cocky, sure he would get her to stop fighting him. But she wouldn't let him win. She couldn't.
"You can sleep on the couch tonight. Or, you can indulge me in why you should continue putting yourself into danger." She ripped her arms from his grip. "Make up your mind by dinner, Thomas." she spat, giving him one last glare before she left.
As soon as the door slammed shut, Tommy dropped back into his seat with a heavy sigh. He knew she was right, but he couldn't find it himself to admit such a thing. This work was too much. Far too important. But so was family, and everyone knew that family went first.
