M28

Amber tossed all night the scene of Jacob yelling at her replaying in her head she looked at Jacob who seems to be in a peaceful sleep considering the little tiff they had the previous night

Jacob eyes flew open as his alarm sounded not that he got to sleep soundly as amber kept tossing from side to side and he kept thinking about how to apologize for yelling at her ,he really didn't like the idea of her going to Ian's.

He jolted out of his thoughts at the sound of a familiar footsteps as amber walked into their room he tried to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep but too late

"Good morning" Amber said

"Good morning" He replied with a raspy voice and there was a moment of awkward silence between the two

"You know Amber I'm really sorry about last night" I just don't want anybody to harm you he said looking at amber for the first time that morning

" Seriously it's fine Jacob Ian really isn't a bad person you should get to know him" Amber said with a smile

"Argh I really don't want to" jacob said with a shrug " just promise me you won't keep going to his place"

Alright" Amber said as Jacob pulled in for a hug

***

"Look who it is "Mason said in that cheery voice that always annoyed the life out of jacob

As Jacob and his wife turned around to meet Mason's mocking Gaze

"What the hell…Jacob started as Amber quickly held his hand and cut in the conversation

" Hi Mason how have you been" Amber replied with a smile " My ever sweet sister in law"

Mason took her hand and bent to give it a kiss while Jacob snatched her hand causing his hand to Mason in the nose

"Ouch" he yelled ,Amber had to bite her tongue to refrain herself from laughing

" Oh my God dear brother are you okay" jacob said in a voice imitating Mason

" we are here to have a meal would like not join us ?" Amber said ignoring the questioning look her husband was giving her

" yes of course why not a pretty lady is asking" Mason smirked as the waiter lead them to their table and gave them the menu to place their orders.

" I will take the linguine Al Gamberoni" Jacob said looking through the book " what about you" He asked amber " Same" she replied

" cringe" Mason " I will have steak and the best wine Available" He said as the waiter went off to get their orders ready. There was an awkward silence on the table as Mason kept a smirk on his face that Jacob desperately wanted to slap it off his face. The waiter soon arrived with their desired meal and they started eating

"So I heard you met with your uncle recently" Mason started "yh and what does that have to do with you" Jacob retorted " chill bro just wanted to know how your little family reunion went" Mason said with a scoff

" I'm not your brother" Jacob snared "Are you not" Mason said completely unfazed " We share a father idiot" at this Jacob stood up from his chair as if to attack Mason but amber was quick to drag him back

" Calm down" she whispered in his ear

" Mason what have you been up to lately" Amber asked with a smile in attempt to change the topic of the conversation but Mason was not in the agenda

"Nothing much sis been listening to some gossips lately" he replied glancing at Jacob who was dead pan expressionless . Amber immediately regretting her choice of words as she knew Mason was up to no good

" would you like to know?" Mason asked with an obvious evil grin earning no reply from either of them

" well I will say it anyways I heard your mother killed your grandparents and killed her self afterwards , Cliche isn't it" He said said bursting out laughing which didn't last long as jacob already pounced on him and landed him a few punches on his face ,Mason tried to fight back but was overpowered and sprawled on the floor getting the beating of his life

Amber on the other hand wanted to get her husband to stop beating Mason but she just decided to stand as she thought Mason actually deserved the beating she did separate them when she thinks he has gotten enough but the other people in the restaurant and the waiters came to separate them.

Amber got a hold of her husband who was now breathing heavily and she took the Cheque from the cashier leaving A now bleeding from the nose Mason who is now sitter on the floor smiling like a maniac .

****

"Are you okay?" Amber asked her husband after the long silence

"Yh I'm fine" Jacob relied with a chuckle and Amber bursted out laughing served him right" Just in they heard a loud bang on the front door and a frantic ring from the door bell. They both exchange glances "who could that be" Amber asked " I don't know but I will go get the door" Jacob shrugged " let's go together" They headed towards the door together, Jacob opened the door only to be met by a fuming Lilian

Who dashed inside the house Jacob just stood there while Amber rolled her eyes "here we go again" she thought

Jacob and Enzo Exchanged glance and Enzo gave him the I tried to stop her look Jacob shook his head

"You son of a bitch How dare you lay your hands on my precious son" Lilian gushed as she raised her hand to give Jacob a slap but was blocked by Enzo

"Shouldn't you ask your son what he did to need up like that" Amber asked with furrowed eyebrow

" Oh really? I heard he only spoke some truth and got a beating"A now breathing heavily Lilian replied

"Truth?" Jacob who has been quite finally spoke up" I won't forgive anybody that's says anything bad about my mother

" what good is protecting a dead woman" Lilian scoffed

" At least I wasn't birthed to a person like you" Jacob retorted now angry

With that Lilian gave a loud scream which surprised everybody else even Enzo who was now calling for security

She went straight to the glass emblem at the corner of the living room and smashed it right on the floor

Jacob grabbed Amber who was in the way very close to the shattering glass

"That's why your mother died , Your father will never love you" Lilian shouted as she was getting dragged out by Enzo

While Jacob who was obviously hurt by those words just stood there and a visibly shaken amber sank down into the ground.
