Yours Truly

Chapter 3

Owen took the plate from in front of her and cut her burger into four then set it back in front of her. She smiled gratefully at him and he nodded then motioned for her to eat.

"How did you meet?" Kota asked curiously.

"Were you hurt, Owen?" Sean asked concerned.

"No," Owen shook his head, "she came into my building to speak to someone about some questions in her grandmother's will and I was the only one available at the time."

"So how did the two of you start dating, Mia?" Victor asked.

"After he helped me understand my grandmother's will, he asked if he could take me out to dinner since we had been in his office for hours," she explained. "Just as we were about to finish eating, I received a call needing me at the hospital, Owen was kind enough to take me since we were close by."

"I asked for her cell and put my number in then told her to call me once she was done and I would take her back to her car," Owen finished as he pushed his plate away. "Finish eating Darling," he gently commanded and she nodded, "Anyway, as I was saying," he gently gripped her knee and squeezed since he could tell she was getting anxious, "she called me at two in the morning when she was finally done and I took her back to her place since it was far too late for her to be driving. She called me when she woke and I took her to her car then we went out for lunch. You can surmise from there."

"Oy, how long before she started fucking calling you Daddy?" Gabe asked.

She gasped, choking on her French fry, and covered her mouth. "Fucking hell Gabe, really?" Luke asked as she rushed out of the room, heading to the bathroom. Owen glared at him then followed her.

"What?" Gabe asked, "seriously? Fucking what?"

"Just shut up, Gabriel," North said shaking his head.

"She was trying to keep that a secret for now," Silas explained shaking his head. "She wasn't ready for us to know about that part of their relationship."

"But it's fucking adorable!" Gabe threw his hands up, "I mean come on! Owen was cutting up her food for her, you can't tell me that wasn't fucking cute!"

"It was but you still should have kept your mouth shut until she was ready for us to know," North glared. "You better start worrying about what Owen is going to do to you for upsetting her."

"Fucking hell," Gabe paled as his mind began to wonder.

A few minutes later Owen and Mia came back into the dining room.

"I apologize, that just shocked me," she said softly.

"It's okay," Luke shook his head, "Gabe just likes to speak before thinking, that's all."

"We apologize if it embarrassed you," Silas said softly.

"It just shocked me," she murmured. "You are very open whereas I am still learning."

"You are doing great," Owen said gently squeezing her hand.

Just then there was a knock on the door. The men looked at one another in confusion then Axel stood, "Excuse me," he said leaving the room.

A few minutes later he came back with a furious look on his face. "What?" Marc asked confused.

"I apologize for being late," A female's voice said from behind Axel, "the roads were just horrible."

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Gabe glared as he stood and slammed his fists on the table making Mia jump in surprise. The rest of the men stood and glared at her.

"Why coming to have family dinner of course my dear sweet Gabriel," The woman smiled as she came to stand beside Axel. Her long straight blonde hair reached her waist and her pink dress was skin tight. She looked like a model straight from a magazine. Mia felt her stomach drop as she looked upon this woman. "Oh," she pouted as she looked upon the finished plates, "it seems as if I did arrive too late, how incredibly rude of me."

"You aren't welcome," Owen said glaring at her. "You need to leave immediately."

"Where are your manners, Owen?" She frowned at him, "Is that any way to talk to your wife?"

"Ex-wife," everyone said instantly.

Mia gasped catching her attention. "Oh, you got a new play thing, did you? Tell me, is she only yours, Owen Dear or is she all of yours to share like the common slut?"

"Get out," they all said at the same time, "NOW."

She smirked and sighed, "Fine, I'll leave for now, but we all know that once you tire of your little toy you will come crawling back to me. You always do."

She turned and left the room with a smirk still painted on her lips. Mia stood there frozen until Owen gently touched her cheek, "Darling."

She gasped and dashed out of the room, Owen chased after her. He caught her just as she reached the front door. He grabbed her from behind then turned her pressing her face into his chest, "Let me go," she pleaded. "Please just let me go."

"No," Owen shook his head, "I'm going to explain first, Darling." She burst into tears and he picked her up then carried her into the living room.

"She okay?" Sean asked coming in to check on them and Owen nodded.

"She will be once I can explain."

"If you need privacy your room is set up," Sean said softly. "Stay as long as you need, this is still your home, you know."
