Chapter 116: 116-My Aggressive Boyfriend
Verity:
To be honest, I knew I was wrong, and I had fucked up.
But I wasn’t thinking clearly. I was overwhelmed with emotions.
Because of everything that had happened and all the injuries, I had started putting too much trust in Jaguar.
I was getting far too comfortable with him, which was completely wrong.
It would have been the stupidest thing I could have done, and I knew that.
I was afraid that if we hadn’t been interrupted, I might have done something stupid.
Maybe I wouldn’t have stopped Jaguar if he had tried to spend the night with me.
That was how desperately I was craving love and affection in that moment.
Fortunately, I had thrown myself into Roman’s arms.
Although the comfort he gave me was different, and I was only using him, it was still enough to make Jaguar realize that I had someone else by my side.
And I could see it on Jaguar’s face. He was feeling the heat of the competition.
The two of them stared at each other for a while.
It was the most awkward situation imaginable, and neither of them did anything to ease it.
Jaguar silently watched Roman, and Roman silently watched him.
"Anyway, I came home to check on her," Jaguar finally said.
I had never seen the Alpha king brother so speechless before.
"Well, you did. Thank you," Roman interrupted, making it clear that he was bothered, even though he was still trying to be respectful.
"She has some wounds," Jaguar continued.
Roman gave him a sarcastic smile.
"I’m a doctor. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her."
As he said that, he looked down at me and gently rubbed his thumb along my chin.
Honestly, we hadn’t been dating for very long, so his affectionate behavior was kind of surprising to me.
The way he was glaring at Jaguar, even though he knew Jaguar was at no fucking fault, was just crazy to me.
"Anyway, I’ll leave now," Jaguar said, turning toward the door.
"Do you always check on all your employees?"
Roman’s question stopped Jaguar in his tracks.
At that point, I just wanted both of them out of the house so I could take care of my own wounds, but they were both being stubborn.
Jaguar stopped, turned around, and looked at Roman.
The two of them stared at each other once again for a few seconds before Jaguar’s eyes shifted to me, then back to Roman.
There was a silent question in his eyes, asking why. Why was I dating Roman?
Without another word, Jaguar turned and walked out of the house.
Roman followed him and slammed the door shut.
I hadn’t expected Roman to come just to take care of me.
He had shown up with food, a bouquet, and a whole lot of rage.
"What the fuck was he doing here?"
The moment he walked back into the room, he yelled at me.
I watched him in shock. I knew he could be aggressive, but I didn’t expect him to show his true colors so quickly.
"He said he wanted to check on me," I replied.
He kept staring at me in silence.
"Then why did you let him sit on the bed with you?" he asked.
I mean, if I thought about it logically, I wouldn’t be happy if my boyfriend let another woman sit on the bed with him either.
That was why I wasn’t trying too hard to defend my actions.
"Look, I’m not yelling at you because I’m angry with you. I’m yelling because you don’t know these men."
He crouched down and pointed toward the door.
"Especially those alpha king brothers. They’re toxic, selfish, and greedy."
With every word, he slammed his fingers against the palm of his other hand, counting all the things he thought were wrong with them.
I wanted to add a few of my own, but I held my tongue.
"Anyway, what the heck happened to you?" he asked, genuinely clueless.
At that point, I could tell he was becoming too much.
"Somebody attacked me," I muttered under my breath as I got up from the couch and walked toward my bed.
Suddenly, he grabbed my arm and yanked me back toward him.
The sudden jerk sent pain shooting through my body, and I immediately shoved him away.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I hissed. "Ever since you came in, you’ve done nothing but yell and react aggressively. You don’t even care that I’m hurt."
I raised my voice at him.
I had never been in a relationship before.
Everything I had told Jaguar about my body and my past was true.
But that didn’t mean I had never crossed paths with a monster before.
Whenever someone raised their voice at me, those memories came rushing back.
Flashback.
"Next time I see you with anyone, I’ll fucking break your teeth and shove them into your vagina. Do you hear me?" Oliver screamed in my ear.
I hugged myself in the corner of the classroom, my hands crossed tightly over my chest as though they could protect me.
"Did you hear me or not?" he screamed again and I nodded my head.
"Now go."
As soon as he said that, he grabbed one of my ponytails and yanked it, forcing me forward.
When I stumbled away from the wall and in front of him, he kicked me in the back, sending me stumbling even farther until I tripped and hit the floor.
He rushed up behind me.
Before I knew it, he had yanked up my skirt, and his hand was gripping the waistband of my underwear.
I knew exactly what he was going to do.
He was going to expose me to flash his friends.
Before he could pull it down, the door burst open, and I immediately felt safe because Justin came rushing in.
The next thing I knew, I heard a yelp and a whimper escape Oliver’s lips.
It was the first time I had ever seen Justin act so aggressively.
He landed a punch squarely across Oliver’s cheek, knocking him to the ground.
Then Oliver’s friends charged at my brother.
I crawled beneath a table, covered my ears, and rocked back and forth, repeating my mother’s words to myself.
She had always said the same thing.
Wherever I went, I brought trouble.
