After Marrying My Boss

“You guys have to pay the price for touching my wife!”

Michael clenched his fists as he exuded a murderous chill. He was a possessive person. Since gangsters were harassing his woman, he was undoubtedly enraged.

“You sure have guts, punk! Are you aware of who Xavier Woodwork is? How dare you speak to me like this? You must be tired of living!”

Michael was not even a tad bit afraid in front of those people, which infuriated Xavier. Thinking that people in the area feared his own name, Xavier was displeased by Michael's nonchalance.

“Never heard of it.”

Michael's cold gaze was locked on Xavier, who was walking toward him as the former said those words. Listening to what Michael said, Xavier's body trembled in rage.

“You brat! It looks like you're trying to mess with me. I'll let you know what I am capable of! That way, you will learn your lesson not to mess with me anymore!”

Once Xavier finished his sentence, Steven, who was being pressed on the ground, was let go by Xavier's underlings. The men then walked toward the direction of Michael.

Although I had witnessed Michael's capability previously, I was still worried about the injury on his arm. Even though he had rested for almost two weeks, he couldn't have fully recovered from his injury.

“Do you guys have a death wish?”

There was a flame of fury roaring within Michael as he locked his gaze on the hooligans when he spoke with his low and cold voice. The next second, he gave the frontmost person a strong kick.

His kick was so powerful that it sent the person flying into the other hooligans behind, causing all of them to fall to the ground.

“You are a brave guy! How dare you make a move before I do!”

Seeing his underlings on the ground, Xavier was stunned for a second before he snapped back to his senses. He then glared at Michael. It was probably because he had never met someone as arrogant as Michael before.

Michael remained expressionless as he stared at the hooligans in front of him. I knew Michael was a person who wouldn't be afraid no matter what problems he encountered.

Ever since Michael saved me that time, my perception of him changed again. He looked cool when he fought for me, but I knew that this was not the time for admiring Michael as there were quite a few hooligans that he had to handle. If Michael was injured, I am the one who would be heartbroken.

Hiding behind his back, I whispered, “Michael, please be careful.”

I was a little heartbroken as my gaze shifted to his injured arm.

He wouldn't have been injured if he hadn't saved me previously. If he gets injured again this time, I will feel even more guilty.

“Go and hide at somewhere safe.”

Michael nodded as he spoke.

I knew if I stayed beside him, I would only be a burden to him. This situation made me recall the time when I was kidnapped. If I wasn't held as a hostage that time, Michael would've dealt with them easily.

I retreated to Steven's side obediently as I looked at Michael with a face full of worry.

“Anna, there are so many of them. Can Michael handle them by himself?”

At that moment, Steven put himself in front of me, a picture of concern.

Although Steven was much more mature that day, I was still infuriated as everything would not have happened if it wasn't for him.

“Don't you feel bad for saying that? You kept skipping work to hang out with this bunch of hooligans. Now that things turned out this way, it's all on you!”

Once I heard his remark, I was so mad at that moment as Michael had to fight with so many hooligans because of my unreliable brother. He only knows how to create trouble for me. I really have no idea what else he is capable of doing. I really have the urge to give up on him now.

“Why are you blaming me again? If you didn't come to my place so frequently, would any of this have happened? If you had not come, none of this would have happened.”

Steven looked at me with a face of indignant. He thought that it was me who caused this mess to happen and was not remorseful at all.

“If Mom didn't tell me she couldn't contact you and made me come to check on you, do you think I would be here right now? Listen to me, Steven. If anything happens to Michael today, I will never forgive you!”

I frowned from irritation as I glared at Steven. If Michael weren't fighting with the hooligans, I would really teach Steven a lesson right then and there.

Seeing I might be infuriated, Steven pursed his lips and said no more.

However, my worry was unnecessary. The hooligans were unarmed and were no match against Michael. He subdued the hooligans easily without much effort.

Seeing his underlings beaten up by Michael one after another, Xavier was shocked with his eyes widened. “Who the hell are you? So incredible!”

He looked horrified as he gawked at Michael. The man knew that he had no chance to beat Michael once his underlings were down.
