Dark Places (ONGOING)

I Wasn't Mad

*Octavia's pov*

The Romanos, Zelda, Oliver, and I are making our way back to a private room in the restaurant. I still haven't asked who we're meeting, I probably should considering the amount of enemies I have.

When we finally get the set of doubled doors, all of the Romano brothers were surrounding me so I couldn't tell who was seated but they sounded familiar.

I sat down in my chair and looked up and immediately, I wish to be anywhere but here.

It is my scum bag ex boyfriend who abused me and cheated on me, sitting right across the table from me.

"Hello Mrs.Martin and Mr.Martin" I try to say as politely as I could but you could still hear the venom in my tone.

She was the one who caught him cheating and told me herself, yet she still makes excuses for him. She witnessed him beating the shit out of me but she still made excuses for him. It doesn't hurt anymore but that doesn't mean the sight of their faces doesn't make me angry.  Mr.Martin is a good man but his family is a bunch of snakes and quite frankly I wouldn't mind cutting off some of the snakes heads.

"Ah, Tavi it is so good to you again right Blake?" Mrs.Martin replied in a very chirpy tone and I am so confused on why she needed Blake's input.

Everyone at the table is looking confused other than Zelda and Oliver.

Oliver looks like he's about to lose his shit, he remembers how heart broken and beaten I was. I wouldn't let him get back at Blake because that would be starting a war between our mafias and we don't need that with the Irish on our tails,then and now.

The older men sit around gossiping like teenagers while Marco and Clayton, who's on either side of me are kind of getting bored and we can't eat anymore. I see Emily staring at me angrily but you can tell she's trying to hide her fear. She afraid of me and I love it, I thrive from it.

"What the fuck are you looking at Emily?" I said coldly, I used the same tone I use when i'm talking to my mafia as their boss, there Donna.

I notice the entire table get quiet at my authoritative and cold tone. My biological brothers looking at me like I will cause a scene. I am but anyway, Mr.Martin finally looked at me and I honestly thought he was gonna start crying. Mr.Martin jumped from his chair and walked at a fast pace towards me and the twins and hugged the life out of us.

I hear Lorenzo cough to get our attention with a confused face so Mr.Martin began explaining.

"Your daughter and my son dated." Mr.Martin deadpanned making me want to strangle him for not adding context. Zelda spoke up seething "Yeah dated as in past tense. I'm sure your all wondering why It ended huh?" Zelda looked at me like she was asking for permission to say it but I don't really care so I just shrug my shoulders.

"Blake beat her to the bloody pulp, she would always have a new bruise and to top it all off, he cheated on her with a blonde bimbo. Which by the way, she wore a wig." Zelda dead panned and I wish she would have dialed it down on the beating part but what ever, it's out now.

Only problem now is Mr.Martin or I'll just called him Stephen,he didn't know about the abuse, I only mentioned the cheating.

"He did what now?" Stephen spoke up calmly. The type of calmness that usually ends with someone chaotic. "Why wasn't I told this?" Stephen looked at his family, who didn't even deny anything.

"It doesn't matter. I don't want my old problems coming up again. I finally moved on." I spoke exasperated. Everyone looked at me like I was completely wrong for not feeling anything right now.
