The Defiance novel

---- I was talking about and completely dropped his pizza on his plate, folding his muscled arms across his chest. And I always thought that he could definitely get any girl he wanted with his looks and muscles, he had this image of the town's bad boy with his tattoos running along his left arm, but the people who knew him would laugh at the social accusation. "What about him?", his voice was sounding too calm for my liking and I knew he knew what I was trying to say. "He's the new boss.

He bought the biggest share on the company but promise I was more than surprised than anyone. I-I didn't know he will be there", I mumbled under my breath. "Did he do something to you?", I could see his whole demeanor morphed into the "big brother " any guy would run away from. "No. I mean, nothing. Aside from setting rules" "Nothing yet? Really ?", I nodded , hesitating while doing so and his eyes turned into slits.

So I had no other choice but tell him what happened on the office this whole day. And the moment the last word of my story was out of my mouth, he stood grabbing his can of beer from the coffee table, gulped a good one and muttered something on himself which was I didn't understand. ---- "Just leave fucking company, A", his nickname for me sounded sweet but the way he swore loudly like a thunder booming across the living room made me cringe.

"Sorry", he said realizing his mistake, "But seriously, leave. Find another job or we could put up our own small business and try it on our own", I knewit. "Tean't"" "Why? Still in love with that... sorry for the word but I will call him bastard", I giggled despite him being angry. Standing and reaching for his hand, I smiled sweetly. "Tam not in love with him anymore. That's the naive girl in the past and I'm all grown up now.

I just can't leave because you know how grateful we are with the owner and they still are believing that I am the perfect one fit for the job of guiding and helping the new CEO. I don't want to let them down when they've help us so much", I displayed my puppy eyes and he pouted his lips pulling me in for the hug. "T just can't let you have that kind of pain again. One of the worst feeling is being betrayed and what he did is another form of it.

He broke your heart and no one is allowed to break my baby sister's heart", his whisper on my ear warmed my heart like always. "He can't do that again. I won't let him again" ---- Are you really sure? Something inside me contradicted . And I remembered how I reacted and have been affected by him earlier and I know very well how I deserved a slap on both of my cheeks for behaving that way.

"Of course he can't because my little sister is strong, but always remember that men are men, they are vicious and drastic creatures so you have to be always on guard but don't worry, just tell big brother of he will even look at you in the slightest wrong way and I will teach him the lesson his teachers in school failed to give him, 'kay?", I nodded feeling his kiss on the top of my head before pulling us apart from our sibling moment.

"T trust you, A but know that I'm still not fully agreeing to this" We went back to watching some TV show. I wish I could trust myself that way, too.
