Chapter 75 –
(Jamie)
I stomped through the house, the rage that boiled inside of me was beyond anything I had ever felt as I made my way to the kitchen.
"Rylan, can I have a word?" I said cooly, my eyes not even looking towards Gabriella because I knew she had a hundred questions but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to answer a single one. "Uhh, yeah, one second." Rylan sputtered before sliding off the stool and walking towards me.
"B-baby?" Gabriella's worried voice trickled towards me as I finally caved and looked at her.
She was biting her lip anxiously as her hand laid flat on her stomach instinctively, making my heart flutter.
"I will be right back Princess, then I will explain everything okay?" I spoke as softly as I could..seeing her like this actually made me even angrier as I couldn't believe Rylan put my pregnant wife in danger.. I turned on my heel before leaving the kitchen and walking towards the study.
I felt Rylan close by as he ran up behind me, trying to catch up.
"Hey, What's going on? What happened? Did Ray find something out about the guy?" He asked a million questions and I couldn't believe this guy..how much of a fucking idiot is he?
The moment we stepped into the study, I didn't even wait until the door was closed.
I spun around, my fist slamming against Rylan's face before lunging forward and gripping his shirt.
"What the hell Jamie!"
"You fucking idiot! Do you know what you have just done? How you have put my wife at risk?! How you put everyone at risk!" I yelled in his face, watching as blood began to pool in his lip.. I couldn't help it..I had to punch the asshole again.
"I don't know what the hell you are talking about!" Rylan yelled back.
"Is this because of me flirting with Gabriella! I was just fucking with you!" He added for good measure which made me even more furious.
So I punched him again..
That got him mad..
Rylan pushed back on me, his hands gripping my shirt now as he gritted his teeth.
"Stop fucking doing that." He snapped, the blood now dripping down his chin as something inside of me snapped..
I began to smirk..the sound of dry laughter escaping my throat as I locked eyes on Rylan before gripping him even tighter.
"Oh..I'm just getting started." I whispered and then I saw red.
I slammed Rylan back, knocking over a lamp as I pushed him to the floor.
"You have no fucking idea who you just messed with." I gritted through my teeth angrily as I lifted my arm before slamming it down, punching Rylan over and over again as the weight of what he did set in.
My wife could've been hurt...my babies could've been hurt..and then I would have nothing. I would be fucking nothing without her! Without them!
"Jamie!!" Gabriella screamed, making me pause momentarily as I blinked my eyes rapidly, seeing Rylan's face was covered in blood.
But I knew this was nothing for him..Rylan used to box..so this was just the start.
"Gabriella go in the other room baby." I rushed out, hearing Rylan spit blood out to the side.
"Are you going to tell me what the fuck this is about?" Rylan choked, making me grit my teeth.
"Gabby, you need to go." I said more firmly, not wanting her to see this side of me..not wanting her to hear this yet..
The look in her eyes was full of worry and shock as she took a hesitant step forward.
"J-Jamie..p-p-please." She stuttered, making my heart shatter into a million pieces as I quickly pushed off of Rylan and went to her.
"Hey..it's okay..everything is going to be okay." I assured her before wrapping my arms around my wife tightly.
I felt her shiver beneath me as her hands slid up my chest before gripping my shirt in her fists.
"So..are you going to tell me what the fuck is going on?" Rylan groaned while sitting up.
I swallowed down that anger, trying not to lunge for him again as I turned my head, eyeing his disheveled state.
His eye was already swollen shut and he was pinching the bridge of his most likely broken nose.
Did I feel bad? Fuck no..he deserved this.
"Why don't you tell me? What happened last night Rylan." I stated coldly, making Gabriella nuzzle against my chest as I heard her sniffle. Fuck..was she crying?
"I don't fucking know!!! Is this about Monopoly? If this is seriously about Monopoly I am going to kick your ass." He snapped, making me clench my jaw..
I would like to see him try.
"No this isn't about fucking Monopoly Rylan.. last night you answered my damn phone..you invited someone here..someone we were trying to fucking hide from I might add." I yelled, making Rylan stiffen as he blinked his one eye rapidly. "I..I don't.." He began and then I saw it..the realization of what he fucking did.
"Dude..I didn't mean to..I didn't understand who it was..I was wasted and barely even remembered the conversation. I thought it was my phone!" He rushed out and went to try to stand but his arm gave out as he cursed. Then Gabriella pulled back.
"W-wait..is..is h-he.." She began as I nodded my head and lifted my hand, brushing a loose strand of hair from her eyes.
"Shit..I'm sorry....." Rylan blurted.
"You..don't even fucking speak right now." I snapped while pointing at Rylan, making him shut up immediately.
"He is being detained in the guest house currently. He apparently came alone..we are trying to figure out what to do with him." I explained while keeping my eyes glued to Gabriella, watching her every emotion. "C-can I.." She began, making my stomach drop.
"No..I won't put you in danger like that." I stated firmly, making her look down at her feet as she let out a long sigh.
Then her eyes darted to Rylan as he seemed to stiffen.
"R-Rylan th-that was vvvery s-stupid." She scolded him, making Rylan drop his head as he began fidgeting with his fingers nervously.
"I'm sorry..I didn't realize what I was doing..I know that's not an excuse but fuck..I wouldn't do that Jamie..I would never put her in danger knowingly." He rushed out, looking at me now as I felt not a single ounce of pity for him. "Well, you did..so now you will have to live with your mistake. If anything happens to Gabriella because of this..you are dead Rylan." I said as firmly as I could as Rylan seemed taken aback.
Even Gabriella looked up at me with surprise as I'm sure this side of me was new to both of them. I meant it though..I would kill him with my own bare hands if something happened to her.
Maybe that makes me seem like some type of monster..but I don't give a shit. Gabriella is mine..mine to love, mine to cherish, and mine to protect..If anything..no, if anyone gets between that, there is nothing I won't do to stop it. "Come on, you need to eat." I whispered down to my wife while placing my hands on either side of her face, realizing my knuckle was bleeding.
"J-Jamie..y-you're hurt." Gabriella rushed out before gripping my hand.
"Yeah..he's hurt.." Rylan grumbled as I shot him another look as he quickly lifted his hands in surrender..realizing now wasn't the time for fucking jokes.
"C-come on you t-t-two." Gabriella sighed as she began tugging my arm and motioned with her head for Rylan to follow.
I just gave him the death glare the entire time as Gabriella grabbed the first aid kit beneath the sink.
She began taking out bandages and creams as her eyes suddenly snapped to mine before she let out a sharp breath. "J-Jamie..I w-w-want to s-see him."
