Chapter 171- Vera's Anger

HARDIN'S POV

The day at work went by in a blur
with Miss Miller staying angry all day, I really didn't know what she wanted me to do. It was clear that Scar didn't want to give us the emerald eye and her getting angry at me was just unnecessary. What did she expect me to do? Fight him with all the leverage he has over us. Sometimes I just wonder if that's how women think or it was just her.

“ Good night Miss Miller," I said as I closed the car door and she just hummed without sparing me a glance.

There was nothing new she did that surprised me anymore. I've gotten used to all her attitudes. I watched as the driver started the car and drove off.

I sighed before I walked to my car and got in. I started the car as I drove away. I pushed everything that happened today in the back of my mind, I had other things to take care of. Like where I needed to be right now.

I drove into Ronny's gate as I stopped the car in front of the house. I knew that Vera would be here, I had called her several times but she didn't pick up.

I walked out of the car as I walked into the house. Ronny and Vera were both seated on the couch as they watched TV but the moment Vera saw me she stood up and was about to walk away but I stopped her.

“ Vera wait, please listen to me,” I said and she stopped but refused to turn to me.

" What did you do this time, Hardin, Vera hardly gets mad at you?" Ronny asked and I sighed, I knew I was soon going to get the lecture of my life.

" It's Claudia, she came over looking for a place to stay and all and we let her in, Vera was okay with it but I messed up, Claudia and I ended up sleeping together and there was an argument, and that brings us to now,” I said and Vera scoffed,

" Really? You know what, I just don't wanna talk about it, what's my business with your life?” she said as she started making her way upstairs but I followed her.

" Come on Vera, it's not like that," I said as I held her hand but she angrily removed her hand from my hold as she slowly turned to me.

“ Really? Who was the one that told me I didn't have to pry in his business? Who was the one that chose his stupid ass first love over me? Look Hardin, I get that it's your life and I shouldn't make decisions for you but I'm going to remind you of everything that happened when that woman left, you were broken. I don't know what is wrong with you but I'm sure your new hobby is getting heartbroken Hardin, please excuse me," she said before finally going upstairs and I didn't stop her this time, she needed time to cool off.

“ Hardin, when are you going to learn?" Ronny asked with a sigh as he patted my shoulder and we both walked to the couch and sat down.

“ I'll get you a beer," he said and I nodded before he walked to the kitchen and then he returned with two cans of beer as he handed one to me and then he sat down beside me.

“ How did it all happen?" He asked as he sipped from his drink.

" Men, it was just messed up, I didn't want it to happen but it ended up happening. I was mad at myself too that I let it happen but we were all hot-headed that morning and everything just went too far,” I said,

" It's going to be okay, you know that Vera can't be mad at you for too long, she'll come around,” he said,

" I hope so,” I said as I gulped from the can of beer.

" So is Claudia still at your house?” He asked,

" Do you think I'm stupid or something? I told her to leave, she isn't worth it, I can't lose Vera because of her,”

" Well, I'm glad you made the right decision, Claudia is nothing but trouble. You should know that, even before she left us, she brought nothing but trouble. We fought because of her careless attitude of going out and coming back whenever she likes, but she never listened. I'm really shocked that you'll even let her into your home,” he said as I ran my fingers through my hair with a sigh.

“ Look, the thing is, when Claudia came over, Vera looked very accepting that even I was shocked, she was okay with helping Claudia but where the problem came was that she didn't expect that anything would happen between us," I said,

" Just chill man everything will be alright but what you should do is really stay out of trouble and Claudia is trouble. Get over that obsession you have with her, she's none of your business, whatever happens to her is all because of the choices she made in life, so be warned,” he said,

" Thanks Ronny, thank you so much brother,” I said as I shook hands with him.

“ By the way, there's something I need to discuss with you," I said to him and he raised a brow at me.

“ And what would that be?" He asked and I beckoned him over.

“ Come closer, walls have ears," I said and he chuckled before moving closer to me and I started whispering what we would be doing to him. By the time I was done, he pulled away with a smirk.

“ Now that's what I'm talking about, been so long,"
