"It's all your fault, little bitch!" She cursed, emptying the cup on her face.
"Hell no!" Adam's mom gasped.
A tear slipped down Anna's cheek.
"Did you just do that? How dare you?" Adam fired angrily.
"Isn't it obvious? I will do worse than this if she continues being rude!" She hissed.
"Then watch me mess you up!" Adam's mom snapped, emptying her drink on her as well, leaving everyone speechless.
"Did you just empty your drink on me? How dare you!"
"The same guts you had to treat my daughter-in-law like trash got me! What makes you think I'm going to sit back and watch you humiliate my son?" Adams mom defended.
Anna briskly wiped her tears with the back of her palms. Hearing the old lady defend her got her smiling; at least she's got someone behind her. Not just anybody but his mom. She couldn't be more satisfied.
"George! Did you just see that? She just drenched me, and all you could do is watch?" She questioned, not believing her eyes.
"What do you expect me to do? Fight her or what exactly is your problem? All you do is cause trouble here and there, exclude me from your madness this night; I am not in the mood," her husband replied embarrassing her further.
"I'm not letting this one slide!!" she ranted, running upstairs.
"Come on, I will have the guards get you something else," Mr Winthrop told Anna taking her out of the dinning.
While Arnold and his siblings kept throwing glares at him he Ignored them like they meant nothing.
"Now you feel so big right? You now feel like the hero right? Just because dad supported your classless bitch she had the guts to smirk at me, you will surely hear from me. Just wait and watch!" Arnold fired angrily.
"And you think i care? You think i give a F3ck about you or anyone related to you? Come on bring it on, I'm fully ready for you!" Arnold shot back
"So much drama in a few minutes!" Tyler, one of his step siblings from his father's concubine, said earning a glare from almost everyone.
"All thanks to your mother! If she had maintained herself like Dad requested, then all this wouldn't have happened," Tyler continued ignoring the glares.
"So you want to pin the whole stuff on her? Wow!" Arnold snapped, giggling.
"Just whatever! I hope she doesn't mess up this time! Else..."
"That's enough, kids! Let's talk about why we are here," the old man interrupted taking hie seat

"You all now know the reason for this gathering, right? I think we should call it a day since Adam's already showed his fiance to us; you can all go back to where you came from," Mr. Winthrop suggested, getting up to leave.
"So quick? Don't you think it would be best if we do a check on Adam's fiance to confirm if she's truly pregnant? I thought that was the main aim?" Adam's stepmom said, more like a suggestion, but deep down she meant it.
"Since when has it become your duty to run a check on my pregnant fiance? You act like you own the house when you don't even own a thing, not even your children! So you better act right if you don't want to get on my nerves!" Adam fired angrily.
"You dare yell at my mom? Are you out of your mind or something?" Arnold fired back.
"I should be asking that question to your mom! How can a sane person request a test from another person's fiance? I wonder why your mom is so pained about my fiance!"
"That's okay, son, come on, let me lead you out," Adam's mom interrupted, getting up.
"Let's go, babe," he told Anna, who yawned tiredly.
"Please can we just stay back a little," she pouted. "I can't walk out; I'm weak."
"Come on, let me carry you. I'm sorry they had to stress you this way. I will make something hot for you when we get home," Adam said, pecking her lips, pissing them off; they all hissed except their father, who held his head tiredly.
"Sure, but first of all promise me you will help me take a bath before anything else. I feel hot all over," she added, annoyingly.
All pairs of eyes were on her, getting her nervous, but she continued playing along, not ready to get intimidated by their glares.
"That would be my greatest pleasure, my lady"
"I'm leaving,I hope we get to see each other more often," Anna said, smiling widely. All fake.
"I will be glad, dear daughter-in-law. Please, you can visit me more often. I think I'm already in love with you. Truly, you deserve my son," the old man muttered the last part.
"Well, do greet your parents for me, that's if you have one!" His stepmom jabbered, making her heart skip for a moment, but she composed herself.
"I'm an orphan. You can save your greetings," she muttered.
"I'm so sorry about that dear. You don't have to feel bad. You have me as your father and Adam's mom as your mother. You can tell me if you need anything," Mr Winthrop told her happily.
"Yes, dear, I'm here for you. You can also tell me if there's anything you need. You can tell me if Adam tries to bully you; I will gladly spank his ass for you," his mom added, holding her hands.
"Mom, are you now taking sides with her?" Adam pouted.
"Nonsense and ingredients! I can't stand this annoying sight anymore," Arnold snapped angrily, storming out. One by one, they began walking out-angrily.
"Have a good night's sleep. I'm leaving," his dad said, taking his leave.
"Of course! Dear, you can visit me anytime you have the chance," his mom said, smiling happily.
"Thanks, mom. Thanks for accepting me. I will make sure to report him to you if he dares to bully me."
"Good. Adam, take her home to get some rest. Make sure to bring her over to spend some time with me."
"Sure, mom. Come on, babe, let's take you home."
Before she could say a word, he cupped her in his arms, taking her out of the house.
*****
"Hold on. Let me help you in," Adam said, trying to cup her again.
They arrived a few minutes ago; he's been acting all clingy, and it's annoying her.
"Cupp me in? Aren't you going back? And mind you, it's time to drop the pretense!" She snapped, pushing him off.
"Go back where? I'm sleeping here tonight!"
"You what?"
"I'm sleeping here tonight, Anna. We are sharing your bed tonight! Or do you have a problem with that?''
