Mr & Mrs Blanc

chapter 2

butterknife........ a f*****g butterknife, out of all the things I could grab I had to grab the worst ,"arghhh" I let out a soft scream of frustration as I recall the incident that took place few hours ago.

I lean against the railing of the roof with a frown etched on my face as I keep replaying the encounter with my husband, 'why? just why can't I meet him under normal conditions', I glance up and take in the rising sun and all my thoughts vanish leaving me with sense of serenity.

"ahem" someone coughs behind me pulling me out of the trance , "Jaxon " I acknowledge him as he tips his large coffee mug towards me. " rough night sis-in-law ?" I cringe as I remember the incident that I had forgotten as well as because of the term assigned to me - 'sis-in-law'.

" Jaxon! , don't you dare call me that ever again " i huff as he looks at me with slight amusement , " but you are technically and legally my brother's wife which makes you my sis-in-law " he reasons in a singing manner, i glare at him " the marriage is only on papers , its just a contract for mutual benefits and i'm the collateral " he understands the change in emotions and keep his thoughts to himself.

" think of it as an advise and stay clear of my father and brothers today " he tells me in a soft tone as he gulps down the coffee. 'oh great the family is having mood swings again ' I turn towards him " what happened and who pissed them off ?" he smirks at my remark " someone did piss them off , a mouse to be exact " i look at him quizzically , " a mouse ?!?! what did a mouse do eat their cheese ?" he lets out a laugh " i didn't mean it literally, what i meant was someone hacked into our system last night and they all are mad about it " , i turn my face in embarrassment and mentally make a note to think before i ask nonsensical questions.

" so the situation is quite bad , huh ?" i ask him even though i knew the answer. " zander sees it as challenge against his authority , father sees it as an insult towards the blanc , adrian sees it as an excuse to go on a killing spree and harris is harris so he's just angry as usual ".

" thanks for the warning , jaxon " , " anything for you sis- in- law " , i roll my eyes at him and shake my head at his antics and walk away.

I take a shower and dress up for the day and head downstairs to fill up my poor stomach that I starved yesterday. I enter the kitchen to see the 3 brothers sitting by the counter discussing and eating. i retreat and think to go back to my room before anyone sees me when I collide with a solid wall , I close my eyes 'I'm pretty sure there was no wall behind me and the only conclusion I could draw is that it's a person ' all the cheesy novels I read comes to me where the solid wall belongs to their spouse/lover's muscular chest.

I slowly look behind me to find him looking down at me intensely, " what are you upto??" I try to control my breath " nothing , I just wanted to have my breakfast " , " then have it !! " he exclaims as he joins his brothers while keeping an eye on me .

I feel a chill down my spine as I make the pancake batter , "sissy , can you make a plate for me" Jaxon asks in a sweet voice and all of a sudden I feel few pairs of eyes piercing through me.

" do you like it with honey or chocolate ? " I try to keep a calm tone trying to act like their presence doesn't affect me, " umm , do it as you wish sissy !!" I turn around to look at him wondering if he's absolutely clueless to the change in atmosphere, I drag my eyes from Jaxon towards my husband only to find him glaring at his brother, I'm pretty sure if Jax wasn't his brother he would be 6ft under by now.

'And why would he do that ......' my mind questions me , 'I thought you were married only on papers' , and just like that I'm brought back to reality.

I make the pancake and place it on the counter when harris's phone beeps indicating a text.

" we found the culprit who dared to challenge us !" Harris tells in an intimidating voice with a tone of excitement.

" what's his name? " , jaxon whose gobbling up asks, I turn around carrying on with my work , I take the mix to make the batter again.

"the hacker goes by the name KOLOHE , that bastard " , the hunger I felt disappears as I hear the name kolohe. my heart thunders in my chest as I grow anxious, I drop the bowl casually , wash my hands and exit the kitchen in a rushed yet cool manner.

as soon as I exit the kitchen I run upstairs to my room and close the door , I double check to confirm it's locked and then slide down the door trying to catch my breath.

' what are you gonna do now ?' my mind asks me in a sly voice , "f**k!!" I scream at myself realizing I'm in a hole that I dug myself in , what will ' he ' do to me when he finds out I'm......kolohe .
