Ex-Wife Back for Revenge

Chapter 11 – Brother and Sister Talk

Madison’s POV

I walk into my brother's office at the house, and he is sitting there with a drink in his hands smirking. “Christian what has happen that has gotten you smiling evilly?” I ask. “Well, I decided to teach good old Maverick a lesson for messing with my family and I blew up one of his warehouses.” He says. “Christian, you know he is not going to take this lying down and we don’t need that kind of war right now especially with the GALA.” I say looking at his seemingly unfazed face. I know once Christian sets his mind to something there is no changing it. “So, what did you want to talk about?” I ask.

“Tonight was too close for my liking. You should never be that close to danger. Honesty, I do not think it will be the last time they come after you. Listening to what Maverick said to me on the phone last night, in his messed-up mind he feels like you have wronged his daughter, and he wants retribution. He thinks he is justified in taking action asked you for trying to ruin his daughter’s life.” Christian said. I sit there and stare at my brother for just a second speechless. He cannot be f*****g serious right now. My anger is starting to rise.

“Christian, have he lost his damn mind. They attacked me first and might I add they played apart in me losing my baby. Now they think they are owed retribution, give me a damn break. They are owed something alright, but pain and I mean a lot of pain. They need to feel all the pain that I have endured. I want rest Christian until they feel my pain.” I say. At that moment my emotions take over and I cannot do anything but cry. What do these people want from me, haven’t they taken enough. I feel arms wrap around me and I look up thinking it was Christian but it was Jayden. I give him a half smile. I know he can feel my discomfort because it’s written all over his face.

“Madison, I understand what you are saying but to them you are a nobody. Remember you chose to walk away from your family when you graduated college. You should have come home and taken your rightful place in the family, that way everyone would know you are damn Anderson. You gave up your life for that asshole and now look where we are, I admit our parents could have made better choices back then, but you ran off being your usual rebellious self and now we must clean up your mess.” Christian says. I sit there in total disbelief. I know sometimes my brother can be brutally honest but right now at this moment he is pushing all the blame off on me. I am over this conversation because he is worse than dad. I stand up and get ready to storm away because he could not understand how I feel, but I halt in my steps when he utters his next words. “Go ahead and runaway as usual, instead of staying here and facing the issue.” He says. That bastard how dare he, I turn around with the fire in my eyes ready to burn holes into my asshole of a brother. “Ok! Ok! Everyone just calm down before you say things you cannot take back.” Jayden says.

“No Jayden since Christian wants to critique my life now it is my turn. A real big brother and leader someone that is ready to walk in the shoes of a great man like Charles Anderson, would have come to get his sister, considering when she left home the last time it was because she was heartbroken. But no his selfish ass was running around living in marital bliss not paying attention to his heartbroken best friend, or his distraught sister as long as his life was perfect, I didn’t expect to be welcomed back with open arms since I never really let y’all dictate my life but at least be supportive instead of being the biggest jackass you could be. I wander how your wife deal with you, she deserves better.” I scream. My rant made the other two in the room shocked because they sit there with wide eyes for a moment.

“I can not believe you said all of that to me Madison. I was against your marriage and didn’t support it because I am the big brother I am suppose to be. I knew what kind of family they were and that they would make your life miserable but I stopped dad from coming and dragging you back and not because as you put it I was to busy living my life but because dad had taken the one thing you love away and I argued with him about allowing you to live the way you chose. Why do you think I gave that imbecile contracts every time you ask. Don’t you every accuse me of not caring what happens to you because I have been your biggest supporter from day one. You don’t know everything because you were not there. When Jayden marriage failed because the b***h was stealing from our family I supported him when he said he would never get married again unless it was to you and since you were already happily married, they shouldn’t dream of him doing it again. I was right beside him fighting. So you don’t get to stand here and yell and scream at me for things you have no clue about because you weren’t there. Just to set the record straight the reason why I am so angry right now is because I blame myself for your heartbreak. I feel as though if I wouldn’t have stopped dad two years ago you wouldn’t be in the situation you are in.” Christian says as he stands to his feet to leave. Jayden sitting there in shock because he couldn’t believe the things that the two of us we’re saying to each other. But I didn’t realize my brother felt the way he did. I guess I really have been being a b***h to my family. I touch Christian’s arm to stop him from leaving. He turns to look at me and we just stare at each other for a moment. “Christian I am sorry I didn’t know you felt like that but do you know how I feel to have lost my child do to the violence I suffered in that house with my husband and his family. Then they decided to continue my trauma by kidnapping me. I went to sleep thinking when I wake up I would be in the safe arms of my family but instead I woke up cuffed to that damn bed. I thought Aiden had snapped and was going to kill me. I know that I act like I am fine but I am not healed. If I am being honest Christian I don’t think I can heal until they pay for what they did. Everyday and every trauma is pushing me further into the shadow.” I say.

“It’s time for you to focus on you health and put retribution aside for the time being. There is nothing more important to us than helping you deal with and cope with your trauma.” Dad says standing at the door. s**t! Dad!
