My Ex Next Door

"Wait" Daniella tried to stop Angelo but the man was walking in big steps and she finds it hard to catch up with her pointed black heels.

When they entered the living room, everyone was sitting around, minding their own business.

Ken was seated on the floor with his back leaned at the lower part of the couch, he had Alexa sitting on his lap and pressing his cheeks while Novie squatted on the floor beside Ken, laughing by Ken's displeasure face.

"Ken Chu!" Angelo yelled in fury, one hand tightened into a fist while the other carrying the bat, ready to beat the target.

(!)

Everyone widened their eyes in shock when the bat dropped on the ground followed by Angelo's unconscious body.

There was a moment of silence while everyone's eyes focused on Angelo.

Then everyone looked at the person standing next to Angelo's body, their head tilted in confusion as to why Daniella punched his neck.

Ken got up in anger, "What was that?" he asked and let out an exasperated sighed.

Daniella bent her head from left to right and massages her fist.

"I need to do it or else he will hurt you" Daniella replied in an unbothered tone.

Ken shifted his narrowed eyes between Angelo and Daniella, no one knows what happened but based on the hatred in Angelo's face earlier and Daniella knocking him down means something must have happened.

He marched to her direction, a vein throbbing in his neck. Frustrated by her action.

Ken squeezed her arms and gripped it tightly, while his face contorts to anger.

"Why would you do that?" he asked, his breathing rate accelerated by watching her casual face, she had her innocent face which pissing him off.

–

In the other side, Evan asked Novie if she can get the triplets out after seeing the situation intensified, Novie got up and about to leave but Brent stopped her and volunteered to look after the triplets.

He carried Ethan and Leo in his arm and turned to Mila.

"Hey mushroom, can you carry her? We had a long history of fighting so I can't trust to carry her around" Brent whispered to Mila, asking her to carry Alexa

The girl stood up while her heart rate increased by imagining her with Brent alone.

The five went to the dining room.

–

Novie and Mary sat on the floor to check on Angelo, they are puzzled why Daniella hurt him.

"Daniella, what's happening?" Novie got up and walk close to her, believing that there must be a reason why she did it.

Daniella breathed and stared at her.

"I told you father about your relationship so he goes--"

"What is wrong with you?" Ken exploded in anger and tightened the grip to her arm.

Daniella twitched her lips.

"You're hurting her Ken" Evan quickly removed Ken's hand from his wife's arm and stood between them.

"Why can't you wait until I tell him my self, Daniella?" Ken shouted at her.

"Why do you keep squeezing yourself to my life. Making the decision for me." Ken lashed out, his mind went blank by the situation, afraid that this might ruin his relationship with Novie.

"It just came out ok? I told him you were the boss of blue--"

Ken narrowed his eyes and look at her in disgust. His face reddened and the vein in the middle of his forehead starts to throb while his jaw clenched in anger.

"You did what?" he took a step closer to her but Evan stopped him.

"Don't!" a short but cold word let out from Evan's slightly parted lips, but it didn't affect him, right now, he's blinded by anger.

"Ken, calm down. We can explain it later" Novie encircled a hand on his arm and spoke in a soft tone.

Ken shut his eyes, trying to clear his head, he had never felt so much anger before, his whole body is shaking, pissed off by the thought that Daniella always sees him as a weak man.

Ken walks to Daniella and put his hand on her shoulder, he bent closer and stared at her.

"Daniella, I am not the same broken man you met before, I don't need you to fix me and I don't need your help so leave me alone. I might be your brother but you don't have the rights to get into my relationship."

Ken paused to sighed.

"You shouldn't have done that. Angelo should have heard those words from my mouth, not yours" Ken shook his head but sadness and disappointment darkened his eyes.

"You went too far, Daniella… too far" He let go of her shoulder and turned his back on her.

"Leave Daniella" Ken looked at Evan, weighing his expression but seems like Evan understands him, the man nod once and turned to Daniella.

"I will get the triplets" then he walks to the kitchen.

"Daniella don't leave. We can explain this to my father, don't worry" Novie expressed in a worried tone.

She just watched them fight, she wants to interfere but the anger in Ken's face made her feet paralyzed.

Novie knows that he had a point but she doesn't want them to have an issue because of this.

"Ken, come on, that's your sister, you can't throw her out" Novie touched Ken's right arm and rattled it.

The man gazed at her, the coldness she saw in his eyes was the same expression he had when they first met, and in that moment, she realized how serious Ken was.

She gulped and bite her lips.

"She's not my real sister, she's my father's bastard daughter" he smoldered with resentment.

Rage flowed through Ken's body like lava, his temper sparked once again as he thought of the past.

"Ken! don't say that" Novie exclaimed and looked at Daniella.

She and Brent used to fight all the time but it's only a normal fight unlike right now, she could feel the heavy air around.

"Get out of here Daniella" Ken spoke in a bitter tone.

"You will regret this Ken" Daniella responded for the first time since Ken lashed out.

Ken scoffed, "I don't think so, now leave and don't even think about taking the triplets away from me"

Novie widened her eyes when she saw Daniella jumped out of the window.

"Use the freaking door!!!" Ken shouted after his sister.

–

Peyton shook her head with the drama around, when she saw Daniella leaving through the window, she walks to the door and followed Daniella but she found her on the ground. Seems like Daniella lost her balance because of her heels.

She went closer to her with a flat expression.

"What are you doing?" she asked Daniella, the woman didn't bother to get up.

"I am hugging the grass" Daniella responded.

Peyton ached to laugh, Daniella tried to make a dramatic exit but ended up kissing the soil.

"really? Hug? Why are you crying?" she asked after she saw the liquid flowing down from her eyes.

"Ken doesn't love me anymore!!!!" Daniella cried out and buried her face on the grass.

Peyton rolled her eyes, she grabs one of her hand and drags her body to the car.
