39. Bird in Wolf's Den!

Author's POV

"Who is she? Oh my god! Look at her, she is so fucking hot... Isn't she giving black widow vibes?"

Julie's jaw dropped after looking at the woman who stopped Knight brothers by her powerful kicks.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes... I know who she is... She is Rose Knight. Their mother!"

"What?"

Arabella gasped while clasping her mouth.

"Mother!"

"Yes! and bro, she is the most dangerous one among the family... People call her silent killer. Whole mafia world is scared of her and she is the reason why no one messes with Knights."

Julie informed while looking at her impressed.

"I have done my investigation. And guess what, she looks more hot in person."

Arabella grew nervous.

"Chief once told me that his mother is really strict... And her one kick stopped them, imagine what she can do."

Rose turned towards Noah and Garry.

"You two call yourselves bodyguards?"

She sounded disappointed and mad.

Both of them grew scared.

"Rose, we are sorry... But we assure you that it was just a game. They were playing. It wasn't serious fight."

Garry answered but didn't dare to look into her eyes, scared that she will catch the lie.

"Lie!"

Rose stared at him like an eagle.

"Noah, Oliver's lips are bleeding and Garry, Arthur's eye is swollen... You call this game?"

She questioned sternly and they gulped.

Oliver got up while dusting his clothes.

"Mom, they are not___"

He paused when Rose gave him cold look, telling him that they are not yet allowed to talk.

"I am talking to you both."

She looked at Noah and Garry again.

"You are their bodyguards for a reason..."

"Sorry... But we can't do anything more than just trying to stop them."

Garry replied.

"You have authority to hurt them if they don't stop... You are their bodyguards before friends... If they are not listening to you then show them that you can use the hard way..."

She scolded them.

"Garry, Noah... I know you two have soft spots for them and I agree that you respect them for whatever they are. Your masters have achieved everything except the control on their egos... They will kill each other if they fight, because their ego won't let them stop..."

"Right! We will take care of that."

Noah promised.

"Shoot their legs if you have to... At least they will be alive."

She ordered.

"But Oliver and Arthur will never be in front of each other in fighting ground, am I clear?"

"Oh god! Did she just ordered them to shoot her sons?"

Arabella looked at Julie scared.

"Calm down, Angel... They said it was a game."

Damian walked towards them, he was letting her handle the situation but realised that she is going to go hard on them now.

"I am sure, they know what they are doing."

He looked at brothers and realised that something is wrong. He mouthed at them 'stuck by it' when Rose wasn't paying attention.

Arthur rubbed his face in regret and took a deep breath.

"Mom, it's true. It was just a game. We were going to stop but you came."

He stood in front of her and Oliver joined him too.

Rose's cold eyes paused on his swollen eye.

"Have you seen your face?"

She asked sternly.

"Julie, she is so cold. I'll cry if she talks to me like that."

Arabella took a deep breath.

"Chief is also scared of her and Oliver sir is not even talking."

"I don't have to, now you are here to take care of it..."

Arthur gave his childish smile and hugged her.

"I missed you so much."

Rose's heart melted when he hugged her and cold look turned into soft smile.

"You two are still immature."

She hugged him back.

"I missed you too."

Arthur broke hug and she grabbed Oliver's ear.

"It must be your idea!"

He hissed but laughed.

"That's not fair, Mom. I missed you too."

He hugged her and swirled her in the air.

"I missed you, my wild cat."

"Hey, that's my thing to say."

Damian scolded making them laugh.

They both hugged him with huge smiles.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Arthur asked.

"We just wanted to celebrate Christmas with you guys. Skyler and Rosa will join us soon."

He smiled.

"It's going to be fun."

Oliver sounded excited.

"So, I'll believe that it was just a game."

Rose could sense that they are trying to cover up, she decided to play along until she finds the reason.

"Of course, Mom."

Arthur assured.

"You must be tired. Let's go inside."

He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her inside.

Oliver was about to walk inside but Damian grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing, Dad... You are thinking too much."

He chuckled and led him inside.

Rose was going inside when her eyes fell on the purple bicycle parked in the lawn. She stopped and looked at it, Arthur gulped when she stared at bicycle more than it's necessary.

"Mom?"

"Hmm!"

She looked away from the bicycle and went inside.

Arabella and Julie ran and hid inside the guestroom when they came inside.

"Damian knight, gosh! He is so handsome... He is such a daddy material."

Julie sighed dramatically and threw herself on the bed.

"Now I understand why Knight brothers are so handsome..."

"And now imagine Rose ma'am standing beside him."

Arabella mocked.

"She will tear you in half."

Julie's eyes snapped open.

"Shit! I am going back, girl... All the best with your in laws."

She ran out.

Arabella shook her head.

"This girl!"

Julie was running out when she collided with Damian. She looked up and smiled dreamily.

"Hello, Mr. Damian."

He looked at her amused.

"Hello, Kiddo... Who are you?"

Her heart broke when he called her kid. She now hates that word more than anything. She couldn't understand what to reply so she said whatever came in her mind.

"I am Noah's friend..."

She cleared her throat awkwardly.

"I'll take your leave, bye."

Damian chuckled when she ran out.

"Noah's friend, interesting! But what my boys are cooking?"

He turned around and saw another girl walking out while tying her hair in ponytail. Petite body and innocent, delicate features.

"What this innocent Bird is doing in wolf's den?"

He frowned.

"And who's friend are you, young lady?"

Arabella froze in her place when she heard him. Her heart increased the race when he raised his eyebrows at her, waiting for the answer.

"I___"

She looked around nervously and he waited for her to get a grip. She was clearly nervous.

Arthur and Oliver both were walking downstairs when they saw Arabella in front of their father.

"Shit!"

They cursed silently.

She looked at Damian and pointed at Knight brother. Damian frowned and looked at his sons.
