HER ARROGANT BASTARD ✔

11| COMPARISONS

CHAPTER 11:

Party was in full swing. Lillian was the host. Michael for the first time in his life was enjoying himself after setting aside everything. Live in the present once Evelyn told him. He was following her. Everyone was happy at Michael's return. They were blessing him. David was discussing a few things about business with Michael when Julia entered the venue with her family. She was dressed in black gown which was quite revealing. David gasped at his sight. He excused himself from Michael and went after Julia. She was greeting Michael's mother. After his extreme surprise she turned towards Michael. He felt his heart sinking. Michael often used to complain about his childhood fiance. The beauty who charmed his heart actually turned out to be his best friend's girl. When Julia tried to hug Michael he pushed her away violently. Julia fell on floor and Michael yelled:

"Stay away from me leech."

Julia tried to hug Michael but he pushed her angrily. Julia fell on the ground. Everyone in the party turned towards them. Lillian was shocked at her son's inappropriate behavior. David was standing beside her. She motioned David to get Julia and she dragged Michael apologizing to her side. She pushed her son in the nearest room and locked the door. Michael tried resisting but when he saw the cold red eyes of his mother. He remained quiet. An awkward silence prevailed through the room as Michael was sitting on the bed and Lillian was waiting nervously. Michael spoke in order to break the silence.

"Mom", He said

"How dare you Michael?"

Lillian shouted at the top of her voice. Michael got up and held her. He squeezed her shoulders to calm her down.

"Mom please I....can explain. Listen to me first." He said gently.

"No you listen to me Michael!" Lillian held Michael by his collar.

"How dare you lift your hand on a girl? Is that what I taught you?"

Michael scoffed at this.

"Did you actually teach me anything?"

"What was that?" Lillian snapped

"Please mom it was necessary to try to understand she was being a leech......ahh" Lillian slapped Michael.

"She wasn't an animal though. You could have used your tongue instead of lifting your hand."

Lillian shouted. The guests were still out there.

"Shh mom guests are still out there. What will they think?"

Do you think I haven't tried?

"I did but that girl is always throwing herself on me. I seriously hate such types of girls let alone having such leeches in marriage."

"Then what are you Michael?" Lillian asked

"Pardon?"

"If Julia is an animal then you are not a saint either. You embarrassed me in-front of my whole circle. It's funny how you think so highly of yourself when in reality you also have the blood of the same drunkard monster in your veins that ruined my life.....
"Mom..." Michael was breathless.
