Over the weekend we all drank, ate, hung out, watched movies, drank some more alcohol, ate heaps more food and just had the best time I could have thought of to end such a miserable year I've been having. I even shared my year with my brothers and my cousins so as to let it out and let me move on. I shared what I went through, how I lost myself and how I lost my husband and then where I am at right now. Axel came alone as his wife was caring for her father in hospital and he was here for a few days. His side of the business was booming and he had time to be at the office and help his wife at home as well. All.of us were trained to my grandfather's standard and from what our parents told he did to them all as well, something that was passed down to him as the eldest grandson taught by his great grandfather who started our family legacy. We were all well mannered children in public as Grandfather demanded nothing less and he let us all be ruffians while home or around each other since our parents had to walk in the growing company we all stayed with him until dinner each night and our parents would collect us as the did every Monday to Friday.
Stephanie also came alone and said her husband was with his family as they were deciding who will move in with the parents and take over the day to day care. "I love my mother in law and I practically live with her anyway but I wanted to give my husband's family a turn to build a relationship with her. After my parents left for the trip around the world I started to miss them and I'm always with my mother in law, since they have more time for me then my parents," Stephanie had also voiced all her grievances. The four of us Samantha included of us had met our other halves in Uni and although they only knew of each other due to us being related. We all shared a house in college that we shared between the three of us, as well as the three older ones who had just left at the end of the year before we all moved in at the beginning of our first year. We had so much fun and when our families would come up they never realized that this was a house shared between all of us attending this college. The twins didn't mind sharing a room which gave the other two separate rooms to Axel and I.
Jared, Ace and Tori still attended university for there masters degree before they would be placed in their respective roles. They occasionally dated but nothing that has resulted in anything yet and then there is Sebastian, Max, Jason, Rayne and Jared who all had a following of an abundant of girls lining up just to be able to look at them, talk to them and even flirt with them. The biggest flirt is Rayne and Maxx as they can smooth talk any girl or guy to join them at any stage while the other 3 just have them hanging off their arms. After I met my husband I found what it meant to fall in love, I use to wonder what girls saw in my brothers till it happened my first year dating Layton. Girls threw themselves at him everywhere he went and because he had goals and aspirations that made him focus on that. I never noticed him till my last year and he introduced himself, that I was a bit stunned and politely respond as I carried on passed him. None of my siblings attended this college due to the majors that these ivy league schools offer each of us depending on what we wanted to major in, so Layton never seen my 3 eldest siblings the duration of my marriage.
After all our talks Sebastian brought up the new merger and the request for me to work alongside them regarding it. Everyone was curious as the new I had been off married these past six years and barely had any inkling that I was a member of the family. "Bit odd though she hasn't joined yous in all this time how would they request just her?," Stephanie spoke as did Samantha "Might want to check if you have any enemies cuz," Sam spoke as she too had a frown like her sister "I went in the company to sign the papers and my hands were ripped open again so I got Tori to sign it for me, didn't want to scare them," I spoke when Axel eyes lit up, "What happened to your hands, were your household duties too hard?," Axel teased as I raised my hands on the table "More like wifely duties were about to show themselves," I giggled as my family took in my bruised, cut and swelled up knuckles,
"What the hell did you not wrap your hands?," Rayne and Samantha admonished taking in my hands in front of them when Sebastian and Maxx retold the story of me calling them huffing like a bull to get them to come to get me. "Cuz I swear it was something out of this world, I remember the days when you both went all out and papa refused to let us step in, it was like that but a 2 against ," Maxx said appreciating my awesome moved the idiot I am stood up pretend to toot my horn pulling muscle poses which unsighted everyone's laughter. "But that was gruesome, she beat the chick like it was you Axel," Sebastian stated as he shook his head"She didn't even take a breath like it had been bottled up and remember how he would be when he was in that state, she was the exact same," my brother frowned as my family all laughed even Axel he knew his temper and mine had always clashed to see it on someone else my brothers were laughing but also hissing at certain parts of the whole encounter " if that thing died Ile be your alibi," Sam stated as she was flabbergasted that I killed her.
"Nope she didn't die, neither did he. He looked so stunned that he didn't notice bash and I entering his house, calmly pulling his wife off and casually walking out with her then drove off," Maxx commented that Rayne head snapped up "He didn't notice you walked in and out with her between the two of you?," he questioned as he was full on frowning "Nope not even an acknowledgement, probably thought we were his security team," Sebastian said while explained the blood was everywhere and she had no scratches or marks just on her hands. "That's not the best part either," Tori piped up and added his version of events on the day I got my papers signed "She walked in on him and her for the first time she had seen it with her own eyes, yanked her off his dick and Axel my cuz your be proud she turned into you," Tori was wheezing out between laughs as he told them that I beat her unconscious again and then knocked his ass unconscious, then dressed him and let him wake up with her siting in his chair, "Like a little maniac she was spinning in the chair, disinfecting his table, that's what woke him up the smell," he was clutching his sides from laughing as did everyone else as well even Axel had me in his arms spinning me around "That's our girl, sweet on the outside, crazy and demonic on the inside," he said as I laughed along with my family.
"Kara door," my mother said as I looked a bit hesitant "Who is it? Can you let them know I'm not here?," I asked trying to hold myself up "It's Layton," my mother said when everyone went quiet and all looked towards the front door, "I'm eavesdropping," Sam was the first to speak as she shot up the side stair with Ace and Tori right behind her, turning to face my brother Maxx who had taken me from Axel, "Come on Joseph Parker, let's see what he wants," he adhered me to the door before heading up the stairs where I am assuming they all are peering down at me.
"Look about the other day I want to apologize about what you walked in on," Layton started before I interrupted him, "What do you want?," stated as I stared at him, the demeanor he was use to was gone and I had no intention of talking sweetly to this idiot. "I was wrong for what I did and I want to make it right," Layton stated as I stared at him funny, " You did by divorcing me," I said as I saw him frown, "That was under coercion," he said as he ran his hand through his hair, "How is that coercion? I found you banging her on the desk i picked in the office I designed?," I spat when I felt my anger slowly rising, "That was a mistake, every marriage has its up and downs you didn't even let me explain myself?," he growled when I took a step back, " Are you stating this was a problem that was solved and I acted irrationally?," I asked checking if he was stupid enough to pull this stunt and heard a few gasp above my head.
"I'm saying that it wasn't what you think. Natasha and I weren't in our right frame of mind and you can't just divorce me based on that," he fumed when I held my hand up and reached for my envelope that I had left by the door yesterday and produced it too him. "Let's see if I get this right, you haven't been seeing her and saying it's business deal," I said producing the photos of their intimate dinners, "You haven't been sleeping with anyone else,"I again producing their constant mating in plain view, in the car, in the office, in hotels, "That you had the balls to take her inside my house, where I live, sleep and eat thinking I wouldnt find out," I said producing my proof of his indiscretions and the stubborn look he sported I knew he was going to lie and say they were made up "Those are not even accurate they could of been Photoshop with all the technologies now," he seethed when he reached forward and yanked me up against him, "You are my wife, my woman and you will always be mine Kara," he stated when my face smacked against his chest "You will return home and cut this nonsense,"he growled "I am your husband and you were lacking in the bedroom to satisfy me so I used Natasha but that didn't give you the right to divorce me,"He spat as he looked at me with a smug face and all my past grievances that I suffered alone started bubbling to the top the more he spoke that's how I knew I did the right thing "You didn't even tell me about your visit until you were yanking her off me, I know your jealous but you are MY WIFE, and you will return home," he spat as he reached for me again and that's what made my brain switch the hurt I had been trying to purge myself with just came back even stronger and because I had been drinking made me unstable. Without warning I knew that my emotions were everywhere and even my family could sense it as they all became visible as seen Layton's eye looking behind me and knew they had all made themselves visible.
"I am not your wife. I am nothing to you as you couldn't satisfy me at all. I had to be creative cause your noodle was always going limp," I sneered "You don't have the stamina for me let alone how I thought that because of how much I loved you I was willing to forget that our sex life this past three years diminished because of your lack of focus, so it's no wonder you only notice now ," I laughed in his face before I saw his hand raised to slap me and I kneed him in the balls before attacking him on my doorstep, this would have been his first time raising his hand to me and I did the same as I did in his office and rushed towards him keeping my assault on his body where he didn't have any time to hit back as he was trying to block my hits. Hitting him with everything I had even though I knew that the alcohol was slowly kicking in making my hits slower but I was not gonna let that deter me as I was already pumped up at his words that I didn't care at this point.
Attacking him with all my grievances that I pushed to knock his ass out before I was lifted off him and felt myself encaged in familiar arms but my mind was furious as I fought against the one holding me "YOU CAME HERE TO DRAG ME HOME, TRY IT THEN," I screamed trying to wiggle out of the hold "ILE KILL YOU NOW LAYTON ROSS," I spat as I felt another pair of hands trying to pull me inside the house "UNCLE, UNCLE WE NEED YOU," I heard someone screaming for my father as I turned on the two who had me and started swinging blindly "How dare you come here stating it's okay and ILE GO BACK WITH YOU," I Screeched as another pair of arms just lifted me of the two who held me as I thrashed like crazy "Kill you, kill her," I started chanting out loud "Your mine Kara that's why your so mad, if you let it out then will you come home with me," Layton was still thinking I'd go back when him when a voice spoke, "Baby you know the rules," my father spoke next to my head and I managed to focus on him.
"No he deserved to die," I panted as my emotions were clouding my judgement "No, stick to the rules or you go back inside," he stated as I turned my focus on Layton who was staring at me smugly with his hand outreached to me, "FINE," I agreed staring at my father whilst tugging against who held me, "Everyone you know the rules three steps back," he spoke as I saw my family all moved back and Layton thinking he won, thanks my father for understanding, when my cousin piped up "She ain't walking out with you and you ain't walking out either," Axel spoke as they all made themselves comfy to watch as well as my father had my brother release me. Our ruffian rules where quick and simple:
1) no one enters the fight
2) Automatically ends on who is knocked out first
3) No breaks all or nothing
4) Once the fight is over the issue can never arise again
When Layton moved forward and grabbed my wrist to yank me off the property is when I sent him flying over my shoulder and on to the ground. I flew at him wailing punches at his body as he tried wrapping his legs around mine and knew if he flipped us I'd be screwed so I aim for his pressure points so he could lift his legs and arms. The pain of his negligence, that he was unapologetic as he never thought he was wrong probably wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He trampled my pride, my love and even my sympathy and use it all against me stating it was all in my head. Too think I had started to believe his lies right up to he said he was moving to an apartment next to the company was what put my head into action and I found out the truth of his infidelity and that was what drove my hatred as I attacked his body, his face as hard and as fast as I could go. All of my drive I used to save my marriage I poured it all out on him, unleashed the wrath I had been holding. The words he would spit at me, the words he would conjure up, the attitude as soon as he would walk in the door..The aura that surrounded him and then the happy husband he would play when needed to use his body against my defenses knowing that I would not make a scene.
The one time we were in public was not long after he left home and Natasha was groping him, laughing and just in general being all over him. My hands clenched as I walked up to her and told her if she doesn't keep her hands to herself in public Ile brake them and I was dead serious, I had just discovered them almost after a year that these two had been doing it at events, in front of partners, coalition company's and even in front of my family company that he never knew was blood related. My hands had started to hurt while wailing on him and so I resulted in kicking the living day lights out of him and even after he was knocked out I still continued to hit him before again I was pulled off him, "Throw him in his car and tell the driver they come back and Ile have my daughter kill him," my father stated as I was held in my brothers arms as I sobbed against his chest. Sobbing my eyes out was something that I had refrained from doing in front of my family knowing that was a soft spot for all my brothers but after this idiot coming here and sprouting his shit it all came out. I sobbed against my brother, holding him for dear life that my fingers were starting to cramp. I felt and heard my family talking in hush tones around me.
Crying and sobbing was all I could do as was carried back inside the house and placed on the couch as I was still being held, "shh it's okay we got you," I heard my third eldest brother Jason sooth as I was calming down, still hiccuping and realized that I was surrounded by my four brothers as they had me cocooned. "How embarrassing," I said as I had snot all over my face, my hands were bloodied again and my hair was a mess. "He didn't even apologize," I laughed as I laid my body out against the couch "I am so Orry that happened but is it me or did he get ugly?," Rayne asked as he was shocked and filling up some shot glasses "I know that alcohol doesn't solve your problems but it does qualify for a celebration," Rayne stated as he handed out the shots that even my father joined in as he swapped places with Jason as I denied mine, "To Kaye for dropping that dickhead," Rayne toasted as they all took their shots.
"You okay my baby?," my father asked as he took in my puffy eyes and tear streaked face, "Yeah I feel almost lighter," I mused since I couldn't move any part of my body, my father just laughed as he laid me down on the couch before as I watched my family mingling around. Like to us one of us fighting was a normal occurrence and how we adapted around it, yous to get people startled at how we would all be talking about something laughing and then boom we putting on gloves, talking smack back on forth while everyone just continued what they were doing. This was something Axel and I did frequently in highschool and it was something we would both get punished for if both of us went home with matching bruises or some sort of inkling we got into it again over something dumb. My parents would keep me home if Axel was around at family functions or we both would have to stay on opposite sides of the room or property since we just didn't get along and we both never gave in. I didn't even fight with my own brothers the way I used to go Axel it was was something my grandfather use to say to my mother and her two brothers one older and one younger. Axel and Rayne are both from my mother's eldest brother and she use to go around in circles with him too that's why her grandfather taught them the rule as well which was obviously past down.
My brothers had cleaned everything from outside that had been up for two days are pulled down and packed away. The dining area was set for dinner and the lounge was set so that we all had enough space or a couch to ourselves. Standing up I headed upstairs for a nice hot shower and changed into some comfy pajamas and headed back down stairs where I saw Stephanie standing with her husband in the doorway a suitcase in hand too I noticed "Kara hope you don't mind, I came to gate crash your party," he spoke as I took in his crumpled suit and sleep deprived smile, "That's no problem Dylan, she will show you to her room where you can put your stuff," I said as gave him a hug. The moment Steph introduced him, I bet Sam whether they would last a couple of months and they did, then she bet whether he would propose, which I won as he did and we got to help. But they look he stares at her with is why I helped him woo her with no bars held. She was the first of us to be married and as a family we all did our part to keep her oblivious as we all started dating seriously and the four of us all managed to help Dylan pull off not only a great engagement but also a surprise wedding that she had help plan without nothing the specifics. They were our family power couple since he adored her too pieces. Even when shes not a nice person, it turns this idiot on and we know cause she does it a lot and he turns caveman in front of us and disappears with her.
"Sorry to hear about what's been happening Kaye," Dylan spoke as I noticed his relaxed smile by seeing his wife in her element, "Thank you, for letting her be here, I was so surprised, I had only returned home two days ago," I stated as I was grateful he lets us spend time with her. "She knew something was wrong when you became extremely busy," he air quoted using his fingers, I blushes and looked away knowing that it wasn't just my parents and my brothers but my first cousins as well since there was only four others besides the seven of us. Then we would add my mother's eldest brother and youngest brother making her the only girl to her father again going for her as she had only one girl and six boys compared to bother her brothers producing a set of twins each. Axel and Raynes dad is the eldest of his line, then comes Sebastian and Max being the eldest of our line out of our generation since my mother had three children before my uncle's had their children.
Stephanie and Samantha dad is the youngest and lives in Wellington. He was the mischief one he taught the three eldest to drink and since he drinks beers they also drink beer and are mischief like him. Axel dad is really laid back and will just chill with us while talking about random structures that he wanted to implement and will have to take it up with his first cousins that operate the other branches in the other states. We have a family get together every Christmas to New years Day so all us kids meet the rest of the family. As the eldest of the line we spent a lot of time with my grandfather and his other siblings would come together once a year and that a family zoom would happen three times a year before we all head to the location it would be.
