“She said she wanted to snatch Mr. Graham away, and she also bullied Mommy in the bathroom!” Jesse complained to Darius.

Darius was infuriated. “That's out of line! Issa, how did she bully you? Did you get hurt?”

Arissa was touched by his concern. She shook her head and answered, “I didn't get hurt, Dad. Don't worry. She tried to provoke me with words, but I didn't fall for it!”

Darius nodded. “That's good. Issa, what happened between her and Benjamin is history. Don't be upset by it, okay? From now on, you guys are going to spend the rest of your lives together. Be nice to each other, and don't believe anything others say. You have to always remember who you are. You're Mrs. Graham. If someone bullies you, you ought to fight back. Even if Benjamin doesn't care about you, I'll have your back! You're the Graham family's daughter-in-law. No one is allowed to bully you!”

Arissa felt warm and fuzzy inside to hear that.

Delighted, she answered, “Okay, Dad!”

Darius nodded in response.

“What history?” Benjamin glared at Darius. “I don't have a history with her.”

“Is that so? In that case, why did you talk to me that way back then?” Darius scoffed.

“Well, you angered me.” Benjamin snorted lightly and added, “Also, what do you mean when you say I don't care? Since when have I not cared?”

Darius shot him a look and argued, “I said 'if,' didn't I? I'm warning you. If you ever dare to bully Issa, I'll come for your head!”
