Chapter 11 Out of words, I looked at Bruce. He was wearing a brown leather jacket and Marco was wearing a black leather jacket. It's okay, just explain to him who he is. Bruce will understand. I tried to keep calm and speak to him but before I could, Bruce rushed towards me and grabbed my elbow before pulling me towards him. I let out a small yelp when his grip on my hand tightened. "You are hurting me, leave!" I exclaimed out of pain. He didn't leave my hand instead he just pulled me closer. There was some sort of storm inside his eyes that I couldn't understand and his face was blistering with anger. His jaw clenched and Bruce said, "Go back up, right now!" He has never spoken to me this way so I was quite triggered and surprised by his tone. "No, leave my hand." I said, my tries to pull my hand away failed. He pushed me back and away from the scene. "Go up now Wendy, or they will be consequences." He ordered. He left my hand and I went inside the entrance and this time I waited for the elevator. Bruce waited for me to go up and after a couple minutes of waiting he went back to Marco. The elevator arrived but I quickly jumped away and hid myself inside the staircase. I wanted to know why Bruce reacted this way, he never did that ever. I peeked through the glass door, it was tinted from the outside so no one could see whether I was there or not. "Stay the hell away from her!" Bruce exclaimed. I could hear them clearly because the parking lot was empty and their voices echoed. I could even watch them but they couldn't see me. Marco smiled and replied, "You can't tell me what to do and what not to do," "Hell for sure I can! She is not a play toy or something that will fulfill your desires and need. Go get some p********e for yourself!" Bruce stated. I gasped at that, how could Bruce think about me like that, I wasn't being a p********e to Marco. "Who do you think you are to stop me from being with anyone? Stay in your position, Bruce." Marco whispered, I couldn't hear him clearly since he was whispering but I could still make out what they were talking. "I am not stopping you, be with anyone you want to be just not Wendy," Bruce responded, he pulled his index finger on Marco and made his point clear. I didn't understand why Bruce was having a problem with this and more than that, they both know each other? "And if I do, then what are you going to do?" Marco said, he folded his hands across his chest and waited for his reply. "I can't do anything to you but I am warning you, she will never see you again. For Christ sake, she is my friend, she is young and she doesn't understands what you want from her. Stop playing with my family! I will not allow that." Bruce stated. I didn't understand anything Bruce said, his words were confusing me more than ever. "Are you potentially threatening your former boss?" Marco laughed and said. "You were my boss but you aren't now." Bruce said. Boss? Did he work under him? "You know what I am capable of doing right? If I were in your place, I wouldn't interfere in my business." He said. "Jesus, stop being so f*****g cruel. She is my family, I will not let you hurt her." Bruce said, Marco ignored his words and went inside his car and left. I, on the other hand, quickly ran upstairs, Bruce was probably expecting me in the apartment. Once I came inside my room, I sighed. But everything that just happened downstairs was confusing. What was Bruce hiding from me? And how come he knew Marco and what was the conversation about? "Wendy," my heart jumped out of my chest once again when I heard Bruce call out my name loudly. I walked out of my room just when he was going to walk inside. I kept silent the entire time and acted like I heard nothing. "You are never seeing him again and give me your phone," he ordered before grabbing my phone away from my hands. He cannot do that. "No, give my phone back." I said before running behind him. He grabbed my both hands and pushed me to the wall before going through my phone. Generally, we have played and broken bones together but at the moment he was different. He was violent. "This?" He said while showing me my chat with Marco, "You are never seeing him again." He repeated before throwing my phone down on the floor. It cracked and the screen turned white. "What the hell?" I pushed Bruce away and looked at my phone which was now completely useless. "What is wrong with you?" I screamed at him, he was now pissing me off. First he dragged from the parking lot and now he just broke my phone. He was trying to control me. "What is wrong with me, what is wrong with you?" He yelled at me. "You are f*****g with someone I warned you not too, didn't I tell you to not talk to him. Do you even know who he is?" He screamed again and pushed me to the wait. He was quite taller than me so his body covered my entire frame. "I am not f*****g him, he is just my friend. I can't be friends with anyone? And so what if I f****d him even, who are you to stop me?" I asked. I kept my tone low because I didn't wanted to be disrespectful to Bruce. He may have lost respect for me but I haven't. He grabbed my jaw and pulled me, "Listen to me clearly, you are not going to be friends with him, you are not going to ever f**k him and you are never talking or seeing him again. You understand?" He asked. At this point, I started to feel a little weak and nauseous because it has been more than four years someone had talked to me like this and someone had attacked me like this. Worst of all, this time, it was Bruce, my best friend. "Please, leave me!" I exclaimed, pushing his body away from mine. He left me and I started to walk away back to my room but before I could do that, I was pulled back again. He grabbed me by my throat and pushed me to the wall once again, I started to cough because his grip was going to kill me. "What the f**k is this?" He screamed, while pointing at my hickey. He moved his hand away from throat and touched the hickey Marco gave me earlier. It was still throbbing but less than before. "Don't tell me it is from Marco?" He said, he looked into my eyes and waited for a response but when he got no response, he raised his hand over me and for a moment I thought he was going to slap or punch me but instead he punched the wall, his fist landed just a few meters away from my face. I closed my eyes and begged silently for him to leave. This wasn't something I expected from Bruce. When I found the perfect moment, I ran away from him as fast as I could. All these arguments would end up in a disaster and I wanted to be far away from Bruce. Tears spilled out of my eyes when I rushed into my room. I took my time to lock the door and shut the windows closed, then I wrapped myself in the corner and silently sobbed. Bruce banged the door a couple times but I said to him to go away, after a few more times he left me and I sat alone in the corner. Thinking about everything. What Bruce did in the parking lot didn't piss me off but the way he reacted today triggered me. It triggered all those memories that I tried to leave behind. He bought those all memories back and he knew that he did that. I don't know whether it was on purpose or not. He knew my past yet he failed to control his anger on me. And that is what disappointed me so much. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindηovel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
