"Don't panic," John says. "As long as I am with you, he doesn't have the balls to touch you."
John turns to me and grabs my hand , he looks into my scared eyes and tells me to stay right by his side.
I take a deep, and stand next to him as he said
SLAM!
The door of the apartment swings open with a loud bang.
Tony steps into the room. He is breathing very fast, and his face is completely red with anger. He takes a step forward, ready to shout, but then his eyes stop right on me.
Tony stands still. He looks at me from head to toe. He looks at the big white shirt I am wearing. His lips twist into a very nasty scowl.
"So you crawled your way into my brother’s bed with your pity game," Tony says. His voice is full of hatred. He steps closer, pointing a finger at my chest. "I can’t believe you are even wearing his shirt on your disgusting body. Who do you think you are, huh? You think you are a queen now?"
The harsh words cut right through me, I press myself closer to John's side, hiding my face.
"Enough!!" John shouts.
John steps forward, breaking his hand away from mine so he can put his whole body between me and Tony. His face is completely dark with fury.
"You don't get to talk to my guests like that," John growls,
Tony lets out a loud, mocking laugh. He shakes his head and crosses his arms over his chest, staring at his older brother with disbelief.
"Really, John?" Tony says, "You are actually taking her side? Look at her! She is a nobody who sleeps with men for money. She is a low-life club girl.
She doesn't deserve my respect, and she definitely doesn't deserve the love and care you are showing her right now. You are acting like a fool over dirt."
John does not waste another second talking. He steps right into Tony’sspace. He is taller and much broader than Tony.
"One more word about her from you," John says, "and I’ll pluck off your teeth."
Tony moves back with a sudden shock. His eyes go wide, and his arms drop to his sides. He has never seen John this angry before. He takes another step back , his pride feeling wounded.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, John," Tony says, he glares past John's shoulder to look straight at me again. "And don't come running to me when she dumps you and crawls back to the dirty pit where you picked her from. Out of all the good girls in the whole world, you choose to settle for a whore."
BAM!
Before Tony can even finish the dirty word, John throws a massive blow right at Tony's face.
"Don't you dare!" John roars.
The impact sends Tony flying backward, he instantly reaches up and holds his mouth with his hand bright red blood starts coming out from between his mouths.
My heart leaps . Even though Tony is a monster, seeing the blood makes me panic. Without thinking, I take a step forward. I quickly try to help him up, reaching my hand out to touch his shoulder.
"Get away from me!" Tony screams.
He uses his heavy arm to push me away roughly. I stumble back a few steps, but John catches me before I can fall.
Tony wipes the blood from his lip with the back of his sleeve. He looks at John with absolute hatred, his chest heaving up and down. Then, he turns his dark, angry gaze straight back to me.
"See what you’ve caused?" Tony says, he points his bloody finger right at my nose. "My brother has never laid his hands on me in my entire life. We have never fought like this. You should watch your back from now on."
Tony says the threatening words to me one last time, Then, he turns around, stomps out of the apartment, and slams the door shut behind him.
I quickly turn to John. My heart is beating like a drum, and I am looking at his hands and his face to see if he is hurt.
"Are you okay?" I ask, my voice trembling with worry. "Did he hurt your hand?"
John lets out a long breath and shakes his head. He looks down at his knuckles, then looks at me with a calm expression.
"I am fine," John says gently. He reaches out and pats my shoulder to reassure me. "It’s nothing to worry about, Mara. I am not hurt."
I look down at him , feeling a wave of guilt wash over my soul.
"Why would you hit your brother because of me?" I ask with tear falling from my eye. "He is your family. You shouldn't have started a fight with your own blood for me."
John steps closer and looks deep into my eyes.
"No one gets to talk to you like that, Mara," John says, and his words feel warm in my heart. "Not in my presence. I don't care if he is my brother, he must respect you, or he will deal with me."
He gives me a warm smile and points back toward the kitchen. "Come on. Let’s go back to eat our food. The eggs are probably cold, but we can fix that. Don’t let Tony bother you anymore."
We walk back into the l kitchen and sit down at the counter. John warms up the plates and serves the food again. trying to make me smile. He is doing everything he can to make me feel special again.
I pick up my fork and start eating the eggs and the bread. The food tastes delicious, but inside my mind, my thoughts are spinning in circles.
I look down at my plate, Tony’s angry face keeps flashing in my head. I can still hear the sound of his voice echoing in my ears.
“Watch your back from now on.”
I know Tony Vincent. he will want revenge.
As I chew my food , I keep wondering and wondering what terrible thing Tony has in plan for me. What is he going to do to get back at me ? I look at John’s face, and I realize It is just beginning
