Billionaire's Disastrous Kiss

Chapter 38

Following morning I watched Alice walk back into the woods, clad in all back, hugging the wedding photo to her chest.

I sighed. She must be going back to that place.

I stepped back from the window and turned my gaze towards the bathroom door where I could hear the sound of running water. I'd woken up before Ian and taken a shower, clothing myself into a knee length black dress to visit the cemetery today. It was Nathan Kingston's death anniversary and Ian had been quiet since he woke up, so was I.

Releasing a heavy sigh, I walked out the door, hoping to make some coffee for both of us.

I reached downstairs but before I could make the turn to the kitchen a voice halted me.

"We have some things to discuss"

I craned my neck and saw Ian's mother,
standing a few feet away, glaring at me.

"What is it?" I asked quietly.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile into her lips. "Why don't we sit down first?"

I don't like this.

"O-okay" I hesitantly walked over to the couch and sat down on it, Ian's mother taking a seat across from me.

As she sat down, she threw an envelope across the table. "Take this money and leave him"

I blinked. What the hell?

"Umm...I don't need your money"

"Then don't take it but" She narrowed her eyes. "You must leave him"

"I think your son is old enough to decide for himself"

At that her expression hardened, her fists clenching, sharp nails digging into her palms. "I know what's best for my son" She said through gritted teeth. "And you're not the best. So it's better if you willingly leave him before I make you regret ever stepping into my son's life"

My brows knitted. "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm warning you"

I scoffed. "Maybe you should talk to your son first, before forcing him into an unwanted marriage"

"It's not an unwanted marriage" She hissed. "Both parties benefit from the marriage and Melissa loves Ian. Soon he will love her too considering she's not a burden to him like you, who's coming from a middle class family"

I let out a bitter laugh. "Here I thought we live in the 21st century" I mumbled loud enough for her to hear it.

"You will leave Ian" She spat. "A gold digging whore like you will only make his life miserable. So it's best if you leave him soon before things get out of hand"

I rolled my eyes. Is this all she has to think about on her eldest son's death anniversary?

I wanted to say something that could shut her shitty mouth forever but she's someone older than me. So I refrained myself from any further argument.

"I came here to make coffee but now my mood is ruined thanks to you" I forced a smile to my lips and stood up. "I'll get going then"

As I turned to leave a hand reach out, harshly grasping mine. "You're making a big mistake by making an enemy of me, whore" She hissed, her grip around my wrist tightening. I tried to yank my hand back but her hold was too strong, bruising my skin. "This will be my last warning. Leave my son, he deserves so much better, not some filth like you"

Then she released me and stormed out of the living room.

I snorted. How dare she call me names?
