After Marrying My Boss

Losing his patience, Xavier was smoldering with resentment as he glared at Steven.

“What a bunch of gangsters. Aren't you scared of the police locking all of you up?” After seeing how terrified Steven was of Xavier, anger stirred within me. Is Steven even a man? How could he not fight back when seeing others touching me? Why do I have such a useless brother?

“What did you just say? I dare you to repeat that!” The man with red hair shouted while walking over to me. He pointed a beer bottle at me, seemingly ready to hit me with it at any time.

Although I was scared, I was not as cowardly as my brother. Anyone could tell that those men were an insult to society, and I was not one to stand back and try to please them.

“I'm saying that you're a bunch of scoundrels! If I were you, I would leave right now. Otherwise, once my husband arrives, he won't let you off the hook so easily!” Albeit scared, I felt myself at ease when I was reminded of Michael.

After all, he would not forgive them if any of them dared to lay a hand on me. Besides, hooligans like them were a piece of cake for Michael to take care of.

“Anna! Can you stop talking to them? If you continue, you might be in trouble before Michael can get here!” Steven muttered while looking at me worriedly. As he spoke in a soft tone, his words were unheard by the others.

After hearing Steven's words, I did not say anything else despite still being angry. After all, I could not confirm that Michael was on his way or if he had seen the message at all.

“You're saying that your husband won't forgive us? No one has ever had the guts to be so arrogant to me before. Since you're being so disobedient, I'll make sure you get a good punishment. How about this? You can be my woman from today onward, and I'll be your husband instead of him.” Xavier burst out in laughter, thinking that I was just joking around.

“Anna, run! I'll hold them off.” Knowing that they would not let me off easily, Steven looked like he was ready for death when he turned around and whispered.

When I heard that, my heart clenched tightly. I can't believe Steven just said that!

After all, Steven had always been a selfish person in my mind, and I always thought he would leave me to fend for myself in a dangerous situation. Thus, I did not expect him to protect me when the situation called for it.

Without answering him, I looked at Steven with mixed emotions. Although I knew it was best for me to run away at that moment, I could not leave my younger brother behind.

“What are you still waiting around for? Go!” Seeing that I was frozen in place, Steven could not help but urge me. Meanwhile, Xavier had already walked over and trapped me in his arms.

I furrowed deeply and felt my disgust for Xavier growing deeper. Although I tried hard to break free from his grasp, a woman's strength could not be compared to a man's. Consequently, I could not move and could only watch helplessly as he touched my face.

When Steven saw that, he steeled his heart and rushed up to us, pushing Xavier off of me.

Upon seeing that, the other men in the living room naturally sided with Xavier. Thus, they shoved Steven down onto the floor. At that moment, Steven's nose was already bleeding from the impact.

“Steven! Are you okay?”

After seeing how he did that to Xavier to protect me, I felt genuinely moved. I did not expect my younger brother would choose to save me in such a dangerous situation. It was also the first time I felt something other than anger toward him.

“Why didn't you run when I told you to?” Steven shouted while being pressed down, displeasure flickering in his eyes.

“You're my brother! How can I leave you behind?” No matter how displeased I was with him, he was still my brother. Therefore, there was no way I would run off without him.

At that moment, Xavier had walked over to me. Then, he stretched out his hand with a smile and remarked, “Since you don't want to leave, you should stay behind and accompany me. I last quite long in bed, just so you know.”

When I saw the look in his eyes when he was ogling me, I resisted the urge to slap him.

As I was used to Michael's handsome looks, I felt disgusted looking at his ugly and fat face.

“Get lost! You'd better not touch me!” I warned while slapping his hand away. Although I knew I could not get away, it did not stop me from resisting.
