My Boss Is A Dom?! *UNDER REVISION*

Chapter 32

"So. Ms. Julia. What's your occupation?",

Aaliyah shook her head at her mother's antagonistic personality. She could hear the sneer in her tone.

"Mom.",
Julia put her hand out to soon to be daughter in law, signaling no further reprimand.

"Oh no, it's alright. I'm a doctor at John Hopkins. Top of the field. Pays big money, we actually just signed an official partnership with them 7 years ago...but you wouldn't know about that, would you?",

Iain chocked on his water, not believing the shade and disrespect his mother just threw at Aaliyah's mom, Ms. Shirley. Even Henry looked to be in shock. Damn, well the whole table.

Aaliyah's face turned hard and if looks could kill, oh let me tell you, Iain wouldn't have a mother.

"Oh, you're not wrong but ya sure as hell ain't right. I think you got that bun a little too tight Ms. Julia, if I were you I would watch my words.", Shirley replied, her tone calm but stern with a hint of amusement.

Julia raised an eyebrow, as to send a "try me" message.

Aaliyah stood, even though Iain grabbed her hand and tried to make her stay seated.

"We don't come from money like you. We don't. We come from the hard places, where you have to stay alert and turn lemons into lemonade. We are apples to oranges but, despite that we are successful. We came to New York with money and made a whole lot more. I'll be damned if for a moment, I let you speak down upon us like we are trash. I have news for you, I love your son but if you're gonna act that way, you can take that wedding invitation, shove it up your ass and keep walking down that snobby ass road you're on. You got me chopped and screwed! Disrespectfully.",

With each word, her voice raised. The whole diner was looking over now, startled by the drama that was unfolding before them.

Julia placed her menu down in front of her and fixed a crooked fork that was beside her empty plate.

"So Iain have you told your little fiancé of the catch, or shall I?"Julia disregarded Aaliyah's tantrum, and went straight for the kill.

At his mothers words Iain grew stiff, no, unmoving. His breathing had pretty much ceased for a moment. Through everything he had totally forgotten the stipulations placed on him.

"I guess I shall. Did you know that Iain and his father has a deal going on dear? For Iain to obtain full ownership of Pliegue Industries and the withheld 10 billion dollars in stock and bond, he must marry or...... what was the word you used Henry?",

Looking away and keeping his mouth shut, Henry turned in his seat slightly. Disgusted by his wife's low ball antics.

"Oh that's right, settle, that's the word.", Julia looked up at Aaliyah with a devious smirk prominent on her face.

Aaliyah's countenance did not change, her exterior was cool but inside she was truly 100 degrees Fahrenheit, boiling point. Lifting up her glass of water, she took a sip, what came next was well deserved.

Dousing Iain in water, Aaliyah grabbed her purse, said goodbye to her parents and proceeded to walk out of the diner ignoring calls of her name.

"Aaliyah wait!!", Iain yelled, wet with water and running to catch up with the storming woman.

Gripping Aaliyah's arm, Iain tried to plead.
"Please, Aali-",

Snatching her arm away, Aaliyah turned to face the traitor of her heart.

"How could you Iain. No, how dare you. How dare you do this to me. You made a fool out of my family and me in there, you could've told me.",

Sighing Iain looked down at his shoes, speaking quietly he tried to explain carefully.

"I was going to, I just wanted to find the right time.",

Aaliyah scoffed.

"Like you found the right time for the contract? What was that then Iain. What the hell was that because trust and believe me when I say I am beyond confused. Is this a game to you? Was this your plan all along?",

Getting frustrated Iain smoothed back his wet hair, pulling it.

"Aaliyah no! I love you! Look, yes I needed to marry but if that was the case I would've proposed not given you a contract to sign. Everything...",

Pausing for a moment, Iain thought, then motioned between him and Aaliyah.

"This..wasn't suppose to happen. Please believe me when I say I didn't expect to get the money or full ownership of the industry and I was okay with that. I wasn't suppose to fall in love with you but I did. It wasn't suppose to turn out this way.",

Aaliyah shook her head, feeling tears come to her eyes.

"I don't know Iain. You...",
Moving her finger back and forth to him, she had run out of words, she couldn't speak to him any longer.

Walking to Iain's car, she muttered a
"Just take me back.",
They still had to get Lilli.

Sighing Iain walked to the driver's side, and got inside the car. Not one word was said the whole drive. Maybe this was the end of their relationship....
