Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem



The bodyguards had Larry pinned down, and he was howling with rage.

"Let go of me! What are you doing grabbing me? Go after that witch! I'm with Helen! She's the enemy!"noveldrama

Larry was under the mistaken belief that these were the Hawkins family's bodyguards, all on his side.

But in reality, these were Tarquin's men, placed there specifically to protect Elysia!

Of course, they weren't about to listen to Larry. Seeing him try to wriggle out of it, they snapped his wrist with a crisp crack!

"Ah-"

Larry screamed, the pain making him twitch uncontrollably!

"Are you... are you planning to betray Helen for some nobody from out of town? Foolish to the extreme! You... oh..."

Before Larry could finish, he caught a few heavy punches to the face, leaving him bloody and battered.

His glasses were crushed under a bodyguard's boot, and he lay curled up on the ground, in total disarray! Elysia glared at him with fury,

"What goes around comes around. You'll get what's coming to you for the dirty deeds you've done!"

Larry glowered back, teeth clenched in rage, "You... you'll regret this! You're marked!"

Evan stepped in with a kick, "You're the one who's marked, scumbag, daring to badmouth my mom! Take that! And that!"

The little guy delivered a few more kicks!

With Elysia watching, Evan tried not to go overboard, merely giving Larry a taste of his own medicine.

To any onlooker, it seemed like a child throwing a tantrum, his kicks seemingly harmless.

But in reality, Evan's kicks were far more lethal than those of an average adult!

Larry's ribs were shattered by the force, the pain so intense he couldn't even cry out!

Elysia was furious, never before wishing such ill on someone!

He dared to say that abusing her mother was a stress reliever!

Such a lowlife, lower than swine!

"Don't worry, Mommy. Those who hurt Grandma and Grandpa will not get away with it," Evan assured.

Larry caught Evan's reference to "Grandma and Grandpa," but he was in too much pain to ponder the implications.

All he knew was that his bones were broken, and his flesh ached terribly, feeling close to death.

Elysia instructed the bodyguards,

"Don't kill him. Murder carries a hefty price, and it's not worth it for scum like him!

Plus, we shouldn't let him off the hook that easily. He thinks it's relieving to torment others, let's give him a taste of his own medicine!" Evan thought to himself, this I can do!

I'm an expert at dealing with trash like him. I've got plenty of ideas!

But with Elysia nearby, he held his tongue, planning to deal with Larry alone later.

Evan took Elysia's hand and said,

"Mommy, let Dad's men handle this. Let's head back to the main house, wait for Grandpa, and keep Grandma company."

"Alright." Elysia nodded, shooting Larry one last venomous look before leaving with Evan.

She wasn't worried about complications.

The bodyguards Tarquin had placed around her and the kids were top-notch. Helen's minions were no match for them.

The commotion quickly alerted the entire Hawkins family.

Helen's minions, thinking there was strength in numbers, charged over to save Larry!

But in a matter of minutes, they went from standing to lying on the ground!

They writhed in pain, clutching their stomachs, unsure of what hurt!

Seeing his opportunity, Larry shouted to a servant amidst the chaos,

"Contact the Murphy family, quick! Tell them Helen and I are in trouble, and we need backup!"

Plans always seem to lag behind changes!

They had intended to confront Clayton when he was down on his luck, but Elysia had thrown a wrench into their plans!

Now, with Helen still in police custody and their cover blown.

And with Clayton still calling the shots in the Hawkins family, they needed external support to survive!

The Murphy family, another powerhouse in Oceanopolis, had significant influence.

Under normal circumstances, the Murphy family couldn't hold a candle to Clayton's status.
