AJ began to stir as he slowly opened his eyes. Quickly he realized that he wasn't home in his bed nor in the bed of the home he snuck away with Ella or Lola. This was somewhere different and from the looks of it. It was a hotel room, making him quickly jump from the bed taking his surroundings in as he looked down at his hand.
"WHAT THE FUCK! ELLA, WAKE UP!" He yelled. Slowly she begins to set up, looking up at him with a huge smile on her face.
"What's wrong, Baby?"
"What the fuck is this! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!" AJ yelled as she held up her hand with a smile. Axel hearted felt into his chest seeing the wedding band on Ella's hand. That last thing he remembered doing was drink that cup of wine, nothing more after that. There was no way in hell he married this girl.
"We're marr...."
"Ella, I don't know what kind of sick fucking joke you are playing, but this isn't it!" He cut her off say quickly texting his father. AJ was so mad he didn't know what to do. He was seeing red and trying his best to control it.
: Dad, I need your help!
: Where are you? Because we have a situation here at the moment. Takahiro and your sister type of situation. He and Mar beat the shit out of each other... well, he beat the shit out of your sister. I wish your sister would have taken our warning about Shino.
: Damn, but I think Ella drug me and forced my signature for a marriage.
"Axel, what are you doing?"
"Don't fucking touch me. You're a fucking evil ass bitch! You know that?! How the fuck are you going to drug me like this, Ella...."
"I didn't...."
"STOP FUCKING LYING! I WOULD REMEMBER THIS! WHY WOULD I MARRY YOU? I DON'T EVEN FUCKING LOVE YOU! YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY PERSON I HAVE FUCKING PREGNANT, AND YOU WOULDN'T BE IF YOU DIDN'T PLAN THIS FROM THE FUCKING START!" AJ yelled, not realizing that his hand was around her throat, choking her until she started scratching at his arm. Still, only the vibration of his phone broke whatever came over him.
: Damn it! I knew that bitch was crazy! I will get Gen to start working on an annulment. Find out what her motive is. Don't kill the girl Axel! I know you. You are just like me.
: Yeah, I can't promise you that.
"Axel!"
"Don't come near me. Call whoever bought you here. It's probably whoever your fucking ass is pregnant by. Have them take you back to the community but don't come near me again. The only thing you and I have in common is our daughter. If she is mine...."
"Whatever Lola told you was a lie! How can you believe that slut? Spend all your time with her and not see that she is the one that is keeping you from me. That baby she is carrying is not yours. I love you! Not her. Why can't you see that?" Ella yelled, hitting AJ in his back as he turned around, smacking the shit out of her.
"Love?" He laughed. "Ella, you don't fucking love me! You're fuckin obsessed with me! If you loved someone, you would try and get them to love you back, not do stupid fucking shit like this. You cannot force me into something that I do not fucking want with you! Shit, you didn't even start wanting me until Lola started showing interest." He said, mad at himself for not seeing this at first.
"For your information, Lola never said shit to me. This whole time she's been trying to see the good in your ass! Wanting the three of us to be a fucking family, but all you see is a threat in Lola. The way you are acting makes me think she isn't mine. Lola didn't do shit on purpose! News flash, she was on birth control you weren't!" AJ yelled as he finished dressing, leaving the room slamming the room. Ella still was on the floor, holding her face and belly as she cried.
"Hiro...."
"I don't want to talk to you right now," Takahiro said as Kamaria reached out to him. Quickly he picked up their son and took Takara's hand while the twins followed him out of the house just as Luca walked in. Mar quickly looked away until her father's hand forced her to look at him.
"He beat your ass good," Luca said, rubbing the bruise on her face. "I hate to say it, but you deserved it. However, this was my fault as well. I spoiled your ass until a point you thought everything you did was right. This time you were wrong. You cause that man to lose a hand and an eye because you thought he was harmless."
"But Dad, I didn't kiss him! Everyone is taking Hiro's side in this shit! Why isn't anyone listening to me?! Y... you're right; I should've stopped it before it got out of hand. I allowed him to kiss me, and I kissed him back the first... I also allowed him to get close to me yesterday because I thought we had come to an understanding. I was the fool and played into his game...."
"Why do you think that is Kamaria?" He says, making Kamaria make contact with her father's eyes. "It's a reason. I would like to hear it from you." Luca said. Mar just stared at her father, trying to understand what he was saying.
"I didn't like him."
"But you did. I'm not saying you don't love your husband, but you married young at nineteen. Not only that, you had his child at the same age. Tell the truth you loathe him in a way. I know this because your Mother was like this toward me for a long while. We loved each other, but she hated me for taking her the way I did and how I treated her in the beginning. The only difference was there was no other man around to show her attention as Shino was giving to you." He said.
"I feel ashamed. I don't want to lose Takahiro, but I feel that I have. Daddy, he won't look at me and the things he said yesterday...."
"That man isn't going to leave you. However, you did hurt him. Things may not be the same with the two of you as they were before, but you will make it back to each other. Give him time, and don't push him. It may take days or months but let him cool off. You both have hurt each other. Maybe... maybe you need to get back to what you had in the beginning, but only you two know how to do that," Luca said with an arched eyebrow as Luna walked up, rubbing against him. The big cat loved fucking with Luca only because she probably felt that he was scared to death of her.
"I don't understand why in the hell Hiro keeps that big fucking cat in the house. A fucking panther! Aren't you scared to have her around the kids? Shit, she should be with the other fucking wild animals not in the house!"
"Hiro has had her since she was a baby. Luna thinks she's just as little as Snow. She harmless Dad...."
"Yeah, until she wants to go back to her predatory state. Realizing we are food and not a friend," He said as Kamaria called her over so Luca could relax. One would think that his fear of cats would leave with all of the different types of cats running about the community.
"What can I do to make this better? I want him to be able to trust me again. I know you said it won't be the same, but I need for him to know that I love him... only him," Mar said as she started to cry. Luca nodded, ruffling her hair.
"I'm not a marriage counselor. For that, I would have gone through something like this, which I've never had. My only advice is to show him how much you care, but as I said, give him space. He needs it, and you need it. But I'm still going to beat his ass for putting his hands on my princess. I don't care if you deserve it or not. It's my duty as a Dad to beat his ass," Luca laughed.
"Don't I fought back, hell it didn't do shit because I think only I got but one or two hits in. Takahiro is strong as fuck to be so skinny."
"Strength doesn't always lie in muscles, Kleine. Look at your brothers, none of their boney asses or that muscular. I will leave it alone for now, but now I have another issue to solve. It seems that your little brother as gotten himself into something as well last night. Ella drugged him, and somehow forced his signature on a marriage license, and eloped. Your Mom just texted saying he was home and pissed."
"I knew that girl wasn't up to no good. Now I feel bad about introducing the two," Mar said as her father smirked, shaking his head. He had the same feeling when Ella first started to throw herself at his son. It was strange because none of it started until she saw Lola liked him, which gave Luca an idea.
"It never fails to find you at the park with my grandbabies," Adele said with a smile. Takahiro smiled back as he continued to watch his daughters and son play. Quietly Dele took the seat beside him, touching his hand forcing him to look over.
"I lost it, I know. I just became the person I didn't want to become... my Father. I blame you if you hate me or want me to leave. I just need time with them."
"Takahiro, now you know I'm not here for that. I'm just surprised you didn't kill the man when you walked in seeing him and Mar kissing. What you did was natural... am I mad because you put your hands on my daughter? Fuck yes, but do I blame you? No, what I want you to do is forgive yourself and her. Kamaria is still young and loves attention, but I'm sure she understands now how bad that fucked up. Now it's up to you two to make things right. I know you both love each other deeply. Don't drift apart to fall to where you can't fix it. Then you will lose each other." Adele said.
Takahiro looked over again to his mother-in-law, then to the playground watching his babies, and now the dogs run about. He understood was she was saying but didn't understand how to fix it. Hiro needed to for himself, Kamaria, and their children. Given the fact they had just taken in two more children that needed both of them.
"How? How do I fix this?" He asked as Adele smirked, holding up a key.
"With this, but give it a week or two," She smirked, making Takahiro's head tilt to the side. He knew damn well his mother-in-law wasn't handing him a key to one of her sex rooms at the club. "I know what you are thinking, and no. It's not a key to a room at the club. Luca and I have a cabin in Iceland that I think you two would enjoy. A weekend trip, just the two of you. We will watch the babies and you to can work out your problems. Talk them out before getting dirty. Mar once told me that talking was the best key to a relationship, and sex doesn't solve everything. I'm giving you that advice now. Take it, and that way, you won't have anyone else interfering. I have a question. Why didn't you kill him?" She said.
"Thank you... I couldn't. I signed a peace agreement with Shino where I couldn't kill him as long as he served me. Then I promised Opa that I wouldn't, not to mention I still don't have full control of his Gokudō yet. You don't know how bad I wanted to go back on my word and kill the bitch Ma Dele, but that is the one thing I refuse to do is go against my honor. I let him live, but he is wishing he was dead right now. I have half the nerve to go take his other hand or a leg," Takahiro said before hugging Adele until she slapped them back of his head hard.
"Ouch! Ma Dele want the hell was that for!" He yelled.
"For putting your hands on my daughter," She said, making him smile as he rubbed the back on his head, nodding.
"Gen, please tell me you fixed this shit!" AJ yelled, walking into his brother's office, where they all were. Gen looked up, giving AJ a nod to breathe and sit. Elijah and Xerxes could help themselves as they laughed, making AJ turn to them quickly.
"You shouldn't have gone out with that crazy ass girl."
"Fuck you, Eli!" AJ yelled, causing his crazy ass to laugh harder with X and Lucas. The women shook their heads, but AJ could tell they wanted to laugh as well. He knew all of this was his fault, but the assholes didn't have to rub it in his face.
"Be happy I have a friend in the courthouse. I had to call in a favor after Da Luca asked me to work on it to get her to stop the licenses from going through. Apparently, it was a rush on them sign pacifically by you. It wasn't her Dad's signature either. So, whatever she took you to last night signed for you, but I have yet to find the chapel because the name wasn't on the licenses."
"Seems like to me Ella thought this through, and I don't care what you say Ramiro helped her in some type of way," Xerxes said.
"That I believe Miro wanted his daughter to be a Köhler, but when she didn't show interest in AJ, he seemed to have left it alone. It seems like he had another agenda...."
"No, she had another agenda," Axel said, making them all look back at the door. He leaned against the doorframe as Luca got up to help him to a seat.
"Dad, where is your cane?"
"Luca, stop worrying about me so fucking much. I'm fine, damnit! Ella's baby, are you sure it's your AJ? If she planned to get you to be with her, it is a possibility that the baby she is carrying isn't yours. Also, it would help if you kept an eye on her, now that she knows she lost you. She will go after the person she thinks is the cause.... Lola. The blind can see that you love Lola, AJ. Ella will try and harm her and your daughter." He said.
"He's right. Lolo is in danger. Forget the marriage because it never went through. Worry about Lola. Go and find her," Xerxes said as they all sent her a text to be careful of Ella.
