Jealous With His Brother

(Amelia's Pov)

*Sigh*

It's been three days since we came back from Moretti Mansion, it had been hectic for us to clean the house. Gianna has been... somewhat busy in her thoughts, many times I have to bring her back from her dazed state. There has been an annoying yet sweet mosquito which has been lurking on our door since the day we left. I hope the great mafia king won't kill me in my dreams just because I called him mosquito in my thoughts.

"Anna... he's here again today." I exclaimed, but I realized that I was talking to a wall as she ignored me and continued washing the dishes. I sighed and stood up, I started making coffee for me and him.

I took the mugs outside the door, and there he stood leaning on his car, while staring at our home. He noticed me standing there with two mugs in my hands and gave me a sad smile. I went towards him and offered him the mug and smiled in return.

"How is she?" I heard him say after a few seconds of silence.

"Just alright. Sometimes lost in thoughts, sometimes very tired and sometimes very sad." I replied while sighing.

"By the way, nice coffee, but is it okay to drink coffee in the middle of the road, while people go by staring at us?" Xavier said making me chuckle.

"Well I could beat the sh*t out of them if they utter even a voice about us." I said and shrugged, Xavier let out a chortle.

"Contact me if you want a part-time job at the mafia." Xavier joked making me smirk at him smugly.

"Anyways... Charlie has been very unresponsive you know? He doesn't eat much, and he has stopped playing with his new friends... everything seems dull without you guys in Moretti Mansion now. I don't hear the loud fights between you and Derek, I miss Gianna's giggle as she would talk with everyone and Charlie's excited barks and playing around." I noticed tears gathering in his eyes, I wanna click a picture so damn much! The great almighty mafia king and the most terrifying businessman is standing in front of me with tears in his eyes. He looked up in the sky and closed his eyes, I knew he was swallowing back his tears, but it was really sad to see him struggling because of Gianna's harsh decision.

"Well, I've tried to convince her but... she just ignores me whenever I talk about you or anyone who's related to Moretti family." I shrugged and sipped my coffee. I heard him sigh and stare towards our door.

"Forget it, come on, I can drop you at the university, go pack your stuff." Xavier heaved a sigh again and opened his car's door after handing me his mug. I rushed inside and washed the mugs before kissing goodbye to Gianna and Charlie and rushed out with my bag. Xavier started the engine as soon as I buckled up beside him, and he took me to the university, helping me save a lot of time to walk there or hail a taxi, which I couldn't for some days as I was running out of my money. I couldn't bring myself to ask for more from Gianna as I knew she was handling everything barely.

I gave a quick thank you to Xavier with an action of salute and rushed out of the car. I could feel eyes on me, but I don't give a fuck. I. Just. Don't. Care.

Suddenly, I felt myself being dragged and soon my back banged roughly against the lockers, gaining everyone's attention and I raised my hand to punch the life out of the one who dared to do this. Instead, I was greeted by the prince charming whom I consider a 'rat'.

Yes, that's right. It was one and only, The Derek! The Rat! Whom I hate! I suppose...

He banged the lockers beside my face making me flinch ever so slightly. "What the fuck is your problem!?" I gritted as I spat loud enough. "I should ask you the same!" He glared at me and scoffed in response. All my friends stood without uttering a word, this is the reason I've started hating my friends since a few weeks, they just watch and enjoy.

"What's your problem Derek?" I asked in somewhat calm voice this time, to sort out whatever was grilling in his mind.

"Who was that fucker!?"

"Which fucker are you talking about? The one standing in front of me or someone else?" I smirked as I gave him a huge blow in response.

"Don't you dare piss me more than this Amelia! I asked who was that fucker who dropped you at university today!" I made an 'O' face in realization after I came to know about whom he was talking about. But I was confused... if he saw me getting out of the car, couldn't he recognize his brother's car? Or maybe his brother has so many cars, that he couldn't figure out whose car it was.

"Why? Are you jealous?" I smiled teasingly. He rubbed his hair in frustration and stared in my eyes.

"Just answer me! God Dammit!" Derek huffed in anger and glared in my eyes. I stared back with the same level of fury and clenched my fist.

"You've no right to ask me! I can come and go with anyone I want! You should seriously learn how to mind your business!" I shouted in his face without noticing how close our faces were with each other, it was just like a scene of face-off match in a boxing.

Derek frowned and fumed in anger. I have never seen this Derek, he was always gave cheerful playboy vibes all the time. Did something happen?

"Amelia don't provoke me any further, just spill the name." He said, and his eyes moved down to my lips, waiting for an answer. He suddenly looked at the crowd around us and glared at everyone, making them scram towards their classes. He caught hold of my hand and dragged me to an empty auditorium.

"Derek you're being very childish, just drop this topic already!" I tried loosening my wrist, but his hold was very strong, he must be stronger than I am. Once reaching, he let my wrist go and I rubbed the sore area.

"It's none of your business Derek! What are you gonna do even if I tell you who it was?" I asked in a serious tone.

"I'm gonna make him experience hell on earth today!" He roared.

"Why? What right do you have to do so?" Derek gave me a surprised expression in response which made me even more confused.

"I have the right! Because you're mine!!" Derek spilled the beans which were never meant to be eaten by me. I scoffed and slowly started laughing.

"Hahahaha. Nice prank, Derek, not gonna fall for it." I slapped his back lightly and tried stopping my laugh. As my laugh died, I noticed Derek stood in his place with a serious expression which was screaming 'It was not a joke'.

"Are you being serious right now? When did you even buy me, that I became yours?" I huffed and shook my head sarcastically.

"I am damn serious! Starting today onwards you are my one and only girlfriend! Now tell me who was that bast-"

"Are you asking for it?" I interrupted him. He looked at me, a confused expression covered his face. I twisted my fist, cracked a bone while twisting and gave a huge punch on his face making him stagger behind and hold his face in pain. He looked up in my eyes and smirked. He used his thumb to wipe away blood which was oozing out of the corner of his lips.

I shrugged my shoulders, "You asked for it. Remember! I'm not an object to own! I own myself! Heard me clearly? Now shoo away and don't disturb me, I already missed half of my lecture because of you." I turned around and was about to move out of the auditorium when I felt him tug my jacket from behind, I heaved an annoyed sigh and turned back again, to face him. He sighed and stared in my eyes, looking for some answers.

"Could cancel the fight tomorrow? This was the main reason for my anger... I won't be able to protect you... I really have started liking you and I won't be able to see bruises covering your body after the fight tomorrow..." He said making me gasp in shock. I caught hold of his both biceps and shook him.

"How do you know!? Why do you know I have a fight tomorrow!?" I shouted at him asking for answers. He smirked arrogantly and moved a few strands of my hair behind my ears.

"Now we both are in the same scenario. First you answer my question and then only I will answer yours." I frowned and glared at him while pressing my lips tightly together.

"Okay fine... no big deal. It was your fratello, Xavier who dropped me at university." I gave up and answered him finally.

"Are you lying to me? Why would he drop you? He has been busy these days with new deals and what not." Derek exclaimed. Oho, he was busy, but he never forgot to visit us these days after leaving Moretti Mansion. Looks like he's not gonna give up on Anna anytime soon.

"If you don't believe me, you can call him yourself, right here, right now. Now it's your turn to answer my questions!" I said and folded my arms together on my chest, waiting for him to answer.

"Your trainer might have given me some hints here and there to figure out what you are involving yourself into." Derek said with a sigh and I gritted my teeth. "Romeo!! That fucker!!" I seethed in anger and stomped my foot. 

"Look here, Amelia please listen to me, it's very dangerous, please don't involve yourself into these kinds of underworld environments."

"Shut up! Like I care! I get loads of money Derek! Loads! These pay my expenses and savings for my family! It's not like I'm doing this for the first time, it has been a while since I participated but yeah I'm confident, I will at least take second or third rank." I said proudly.

"Amelia, if you are worried about money, I can give it to you, I will assure you, you can pay me back in future if you're uncomfortable, I swear!" Derek literally begged to me.

"Mind your business. I don't need your money, I can earn myself!" I said and dashed out of the auditorium. I heard him bang the wall behind me, as I was rushing outside.

"Why is he so worried about me? Does he like me? Or does he think I'm his possession or what!?" I mumbled under my breath as I rushed to my class and start my boring schedule of the day. Derek never came in the class and I couldn't care more. I don't like being this much rude but I just don't want to involve myself with rich brats at all, especially Derek. Why you may ask? It's just... he's so much my type, and I won't be able to control my urges to ask him out, I swear! I keep myself away from him and ignore him, so that I won't involve him in my life. These rich men cannot be trusted easily.
