Chapter 72: HURTING HER

"Mattie, Babe!" Julian called after Mattie who wasn’t waiting to respond to him.

She kept running without looking where she was going until Julian pulled her back when she was about to run into the road.

Instantly the camera flashes turned to them and Julian pulled his jacket covering her face.

"Let me go! I have faced enough embarrassment from your wife!" Mattie screamed, throwing his jacket away.

"Hey!" Julian exclaimed as she struggled for Julian to let her be.

"Common! You are embarrassing me," He grumbled trying to make her stop but she pushed him away.

"Allow me to leave! You love her now! She owns you!" She cried out, he shifted back into the road.

Julian was furious with her action and not able to take anymore drama, he pulled her towards him despite her struggle he embraced her tightly.

"Stop! Please.." Julian mumbles, his eyes shut as he tries to control his furry.

Julian’s thoughts swirled as he gazed at the woman beside him, her eyes blazing with anger.

"My life is getting ruined because of her." She cried out and he sighed, knowing she would feel terrible once she realized the truth.

"Let’s go home," Julian murmured, his voice gentle.

But she was beyond reason, her fury still simmering.

Julian knew he had to act. With a swift motion, he lifted her from the ground and cradled her in his arms.

"Guards!" Julian called out.

The waiting guards sprang into action, forming a protective barrier around the couple.

They navigated through the swarm of reporters, shielding Julian and his companion from the barrage of questions.

"Sir, what’s going on?" a reporter shouted.

"Is everything okay?" another asked.

The guards remained silent, their faces impassive, as they escorted them into the waiting car.

Once inside, Julian pulled her close, despite her resistance. His hands wrapped around her, holding her secure.

"Shh, it’s okay," Julian whispered, his voice soothing. "I’m here."

But she continued to seethe, cursing Astrid for ruining her life.

Tears streamed down her face, mingling with angry words.

Julian held her tight, his calm demeanor a balm to her rage. He stroked her hair, his touch gentle.

"Hey, look at me," Julian coaxed.

Slowly, she lifted her gaze, her eyes red-rimmed.

"I am sorry," Julian said, his voice filled with empathy. "I know it’s hard, but we will get through this together."

As the car pulled away from the premises, She collapsed into his chest, surrendering to her emotions.

Julian held her close, his heart beating steadily, even though he can’t explain how he is right now.

The city lights blurred outside as the car sped away, leaving the chaos behind.

They got home and Julian helped her out of the car, Larry’s eyes bore through them and he wasn’t happy with them but dared not say a word.

They got inside the living room and then Julian decided to go help her get water when a message decided to poppedom her phone.

"Pick up Boss..." it was a message from her assistant, she was about to reply when a call comes in.

She kicked up, placing on her ear, "What did you do to the Logans?"

She was confused at this question, "Nothing," she replied curious as to why she had asked her that question.

"There is trouble! Came in her voice, "Like what?"

"You are no longer the face of the JL line Corps," Mattie jumped up from the chair, her body filled with sweat.

Losing support from Logan is a great danger and downfall for her.

"Are you crazy? What the fuck are you talking about?"

"The message just came in from the chairman directly, he is breaking every cooperation he has with you."

"My heart," She mumbled, her hands flying to her chest.

"Are you sure? Send me the message," She let out and immediately her phone beep.

She checked the message and her heart thump hard as she glanced through the message.

Her hands trembled and the next thing was a scream coming from her as she smashed her phone to the ground.

Julian heard her and dashed out of the kitchen in shock.

"Babe!" Mattie’s head raised as she glanced at Julian.

"Am I a joke to you?" She asked, her leg trembling, almost losing balance.

"What is going on?" he asked worriedly.

"I am no longer a model for your company." Julian was stunned at how she got the message.

"How did you get the message?" He asked, and Mattie’s eyes narrowed in shock.

"So you know?" Mattie asked and Julian’s hands rubbed through his hair as he was looking so frustrated.

"I was looking for a way to sort things out," He stated and Mattie let out a painful smile.

"I am no longer important to you am I?" Julian moved closer to her about to touch her but she slapped his hands off.

"Don’t you dare come close to me or even touch me," she cried out, shifting back.

"How could you do this to me? You want to hand it over to Astrid right?" She asked and Julian sighed.

"Can you stop this for once?" He growled in irritation, and she looked up in shock.

"Di... did you just scream at me?" she implored.

"Let’s talk! you caused this! Your mum caused this! If you had never planned to set Astrid up things wouldn’t go this way,"

She stared at Julian shocked, "What do you mean?’

"Manny told me, she explained to me how you had made her leak the information out. Despite knowing the money at stake."

"What?"

"I know everything and still made Astrid go through embarrassment!" His voice was a bit high so Mattie needed to be so scared of the man before her.

"I am doing all this shit for you!"

"Babe," She called trying to move closer to him but he shifted back.

"I dislike the fact that you get mad at little things! For fuck sake understand me and stop putting me through shots!"

With this he walked out of the living room leaving Mattie speechless.

Mattie couldn’t go after her, she sat there so lost her mind flashing through her past life.

The thought that she lost two important backups in her life in just a day made her inside boil.

Fear crept in her, for this first time Mattie could be seen as vulnerable.

She was still sitting in the mansion when she noticed Astrid had arrived, her I sidd boiled in anger.

She ran up the stairs hiding herself... safe sure going to make Astrid regret her life today she thought.

Astrid got home in a cab ride, her heart pounding, and then she met with Mr Larry outside of the mansion.

"Welcome back ma’am.." She bobbed her head gently, and walked inside of the mansion.

Astrid hastened down the quiet living room, eager to escape unwanted conversations or confrontation.

As she reached for her room door handle about to let out a triumphant smile, a sudden tug on her hair halted her progress.

"Ow!" Astrid spun around, pain etched on her face, only to find Mattie’s menacing gaze.

"You," Astrid spat, struggling to break free from Mattie’s strong grip.

With a swift slap, Mattie sent Astrid stumbling backward.

Astrid’s eyes blazed with anger as she charged forward, refusing to back down.

"Let me go!" Astrid cried out trying to snap her hands off.

"I am going to make you pay for it," she cried out in pain, the message replaying in her head.

"I didn’t do anything, for damn sake!" The two engaged in a fierce struggle, their anger fueled blows raining down.

For the first time, Astrid fought back, landing a solid slap to Mattie’s cheek.

Stunned, Mattie’s eyes widened in shock. "You worthless thing!" Mattie exclaimed.

Astrid noticed how Mattie pushed her toward the cliff of the staircase.

"Mattie let me go, it’s dangerous here." She is trying to warn her.

In a fit of rage, "Then fucking get out of my life!" Mattie shoved Astrid down the staircase.

Astrid’s body hurtled through the air, her head cracking against the floor, and her leg twisting.

As Astrid lay dazed and wounded, Mattie’s anger began to dissipate, replaced by a dawning realization of the severity of her actions.

Astrid on the other hand groaned in pain, her leg hurting so bad as her gaze went blurry.

Mattie knows this would put her in trouble, she didn’t know what else to do.

She heard footsteps coming nearer, she thought that she needed to act faster if not Julian might get mad at her.

She ran down the stairs in fear and let out a piercing scream and just in time Julian appeared from the stair.

Astrid tried to get up but the piano was too much for her.

"Babe!" Julian called from up the stairs running down in shock.."

"Babe... she pushed me because I tried to confront her," Astrid glanced at her in shock but was in too much pain to talk.

"What?" Julian’s eyes narrowed as they glared at Astrid..

"How could you?"

"Ju... I didn’t she..." Julian’s gaze could tell him who he really believed.

"I have let you go for a long time, why push her away?"

"Jul..."

"Babe... my leg hurts.." Mattie called again and without another word he rushed to her and helped her up.

"Take me to the hospital please, my leg hurts.." he glanced at Astrid one more time.

"I will take care of you when I get back," he said.

Astrid could only watch from the ground in pain at how Julian ran out of the mansion.
