"Please tell me, please explain to me, why my grandfather is just so difficult!" said Dom as he sighed, he looked very tired.
"And worst of all, he is very hard to refute, imagine that be barged into the boardroom, while I was in the middle of a meeting, to come and discuss something that was not very important with me" said Dom as he face-palmed.
"My friend relax, you know that we cannot say anything bad against him" said Charlie as he Michael, and Nine were in Dom's office.
They had come to see him, knowing that his Grandfather's visit was going to be something else as always, Ernest's visits almost always never had good intentions, and well they were here to cheer Dom up... or at least try to.
"I know, of course he would expect you three to be on his side after all" said Dom as he sighed and he looked at Charlie.
"And that is why I remain neutral in all this" said Nine as he spoke up.
"Oh well not everyone can be as cold as you are Nine" said Charlie as he turned to look at Nine and Nine grunted.
"But he always does this" said Dom.
"He always supports that woman, he always takes her side" said Dom.
"I am his actual grandson for crying out loud, and yet he always believes her, he pampers her, and scolds me" said Dom as he was jut fed up, this was all just too much, and his grandfather just added a whole chocolate cake to his plate of problems.
"What did you guys argue about this time??" asked Michael as he looked at Dom.
"Who else but her" said Dom.
"But this time it was different" said Dom.
"Can you imagine that he came all the way here because she did not listen to his usual babblings, and because she did not open up to him or whatever" said Dom.
"She didn't??" asked Michael.
"Yes" replied Dom as he sighed and tried to calm himself down.
"That's weird" said Michael to himself as he seemed to be thinking, Natasha had really been acting weird as they had all said.
He had even tried to talk to her today, but she had refused to listen to him, and she also sounded very angry and bitter, and that was very understandable, but her behaviour as of late had been very strange.
"I am sure she just did that to make him come over here and scold me" said Dom as his tone of anger had died down and he was back to being calm.
"Just for once I wish that my grandfather would have even a little ounce of trust in me" said Dom as he looked at his friends.
"You know he trusts you brother" said Charlie.
"Why else would he put you in charge of the company??" asked Charlie.
"That decision was just purely business" said Dom as he shrugged Charlie's statement off.
"As much as he is difficult, he is also a very experienced business man" said Dom.
"And he also does Love you" said Michael.
"You are also his only grandson after all" said Michael.
"The only reason we truly fight is because of her" said Dom.
"I am sure that he wants to force me to love her, even if it takes the life out of him" said Dom.
"And all of us in this room know that is impossible, I can never love Natasha" said Dom.
"I cannot ever trust her, not after what she did" said Dom and Nine, Charlie and Michael all went quiet.
"This all happened because she misused the trust we all gave to her" said Dom.
"She took my trust and she just threw it away" said Dom.
"But Dom... what if she's actually..." said Michael.
"Oh don't give me any of that nonsense Mike, don't" said Dom as he knew what Michael was going to say.
"You of all people should know better, you were the one that investigated the matter after all" said Dom.
"Except... Except if you doubt your own abilities as a detective" said Dom and Michael went quiet.
"That's what I thought" said Dom as he looked at Michael.
"So what are you going to do??" asked Nine as he looked at Dom.
"What else can I do but tell Natasha that she should stop this nonsense, she should stop being obsessed with me, and let me be, and she should also stop feeding Grandfather false accusations about me" said Dom.
"She knows that we are basically stuck together, so why doesn't she just let me be, so we could just at least enjoy our lives separately" said Dom.
"To tell the truth I truly regret that I was forced to marry her" said Dom.
"Our so called marriage has been nothing but bad, everything has been bad, the only good thing that has happened is my little Princess Joy" said Dom as he smiled as he thought of his daughter.
"That is about it, and nothing more" he said as he went back to being serious.
"So you say that you would prefer it if you and Natasha would have remained friends" said Michael.
"No..." said Dom.
"At this point, I prefer that we would have never met at all" said Dom angrily.
"That is a bit harsh, don't you think??" asked Michael.
"What nonsense are you saying Michael???" asked Charlie as he looked at Michael angrily.
"I agree with Dom one hundred percent" said Charlie as he looked at Dom.
"What she did is unforgivable" said Charlie.
"You forget that she is still our friend" said Charlie.
"Correction Michael, she was our friend" said Charlie.
"I do not know about you, but she stopped being my friend the moment she did you know what, to Dom" said Charlie and Michael sighed, he knew that no one would be on his side, and Nine was no help at all, that guy just preferred to remain neutral as he had said earlier.
"Anyway enough of this, I will go talk to her tonight, this has to end!" said Dom.
Later that day.
"Good Evening Young Master" said Alfred as he saw Dom pass by.
"Good Evening Alfred" said Dom as he stopped.
"Have you seen Natasha??" he asked.
"Ahh Well..." said Alfred.
"You know what never mind, I will find her myself" said Dom as he did not wait for Alfred to reply to him first and he just left.
"This spells trouble" said Alfred to himself as he looked at Dom who was walking away.
Dom walked up the stairs, he did not even bother to change as he headed straight for the west wing, he was about to knock on Natasha's door, when he heard some voices from Joy's room that made him turn away.
He walked towards Joy's room and he could see dome light coming from the room, as the door was light slightly ajar, and he heard Natasha's voice.
"My baby, come let's go give you a bath so I can wash you hair" said Natasha as she smiled and she looked at Joy completely oblivious to the fact that someone was watching them right now.
"Yayyyyy" said Joy as she stood up on her bed.
"Bath time, Bath time, Bath time!!" said Joy as she jumped on her bed and giggled.
Dom smiled as he saw his little cute princess being very happy, he almost forgot his anger, just for a moment.
"My baby, be careful, don't jump on your bed, it's dangerous" said Natasha as she smiled.
"You don't want to fall off your bed and hurt yourself do you??" asked Natasha
"No Mommy" said Joy as she stopped jumping and she shook her head.
"Then stop jumping my baby" said Natasha
"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she climbed down her bed.
"Come on now, let's go wash your hair my baby" said Natasha as she laughed and she tried to straighten Joy's hair with her fingers.
Natasha wondered where Joy had gotten her curly hair from, she herself had very straight hair, and so did Dom, and that was why it was a big question to her on how Joy came to have curly hair.
Joy's curly hair was high maintenance, so Natasha would always wash Joy's hair very thoroughly about once a month, so Joy's hair could remain shiny and natural.
"My baby, I wonder where you got your curly hair from??" asked Natasha as she laughed and she carried Joy with her as they entered the bathroom.
Natasha had already prepared the water, so it was already very warm and she had added a lot of bubble bath, because Joy loved the bubbles.
"Bubbless heheh" said Joy as she giggled and Natasha laughed.
Natasha set Joy in the bath and she poured some shampoo in her hand and she massaged it in Joy's hair while Joy played with the foam.
Dom decided that this was not a good time to discuss an important matter with Natasha, so he was about on his way to leave, but that was until he heard something that made him stop right in his tracks.
"Mommy... why are you and daddy not happy??" asked Joy out of the blue and Natasha stopped what she was doing and she looked at Joy, while Dom stayed put and he turned around immediately.
"What did you say my baby??" asked Natasha as she was sure she did not hear Joy correctly.
"Mommy, why are you and daddy not happy??" asked Joy as she repeated her question in the exact same way a before.
