Draining Mr. Brainy -(DA series book 1)

Chapter 7

Zorion Point of View

Believe me when I say I'm not an easy person to deal with.

If I meet someone with my personality, I would despise him from the core of my heart. But still I like it as I am wearing it and it suits me.

I've heard several times from many that people prefer to respect me coz they are scared of me than how eligible and capable I am. In many instances, I felt it was unfair to my intellects but then I enjoyed the fear nonetheless.

I'm a person who loves to have a lot of personal space with no one getting anywhere miles close to me.

Yet, here I am, in the middle of a crowd that might cover ninety percent of the country.

"So he is your youngest uncle." I confirmed looking between Meow and sixty-something year old man.

I felt King stiffen beside me when I finally opened my mouth to ask something in the past one hour of our time here in the Grizzly Street, Almond market.

For the first time ever, I felt the taste of fear to go anywhere alone with Meow, not to mention, near to other Almonds.

King proved to be not just my best friend, my business partner but also my moral support.

He is the true icon of loyalty!

A face of a real friend!

"No, he is my father. That is my youngest uncle." Ah, yeah right. Nevermind!

My eyes quivered at the sight of more than half the population of the country standing in the same room as me, worse, looking at me.

"Is he your partner in crime, Tiny?" I heard Meow's eldest uncle question her with a smile to which she nodded her head with a giggle.

Everyone in the room was displaying thousand watt bright smiles at the mention of 'partner in crime'. None tried to reason her, none tried to stop her, none tried to tell her that it is wrong to take revenge and none tried to warn her about the possible consequences.

They were just – happy!

Happy to finally see their daughter gets what she wants.

Freaking Lord! I had never seen such a supporting family!

Goodness, it's almost frightening!

"I need to follow his plan to exact my revenge. That was his condition so I agreed and now we are bonded for life." Bonded for what-?

"Fuc – What? Excuse me?" I controlled my tongue and checked my language as I'm in the presence of elders and not just any elders; I'm in the presence of her grandma who is four months away from hitting hundred. For a near hundred year old woman, she is much more active and strong than I am.

Closing my eyes, I breathed in and out chanting to myself that I have to hold it in. That old woman deserves respect and I shouldn't talk crap before her.

But damn it was too hard!

"Only partners. Partners until your revenge is exacted." I specified clearly.

Meow blinked and zoned out for a second before getting back to her joker smiling self. To tell you that her smile has several hidden meanings, it was scary.

Almost as if Chucky is smiling at me!

"So she has three uncles, one father and an aunt. Her father is four one among the five siblings while her aunt is the eldest. And they all live together expect the aunt who got married and moved to LA." King whispered and I can feel resignation in his tone.
