Villain of my own novel

*

"Huh?" I stared at them disbelief.

Only then did I recall that she had introduced herself as 'Isha Walker.' I simply didn't care, and when she introduced herself to Core, I assumed she would simply have the same surname as Quinn had never mentioned his granddaughter's name. Isha, too, had never mentioned anything about her family, so I didn't pry into it nor did I try to connect the dots.

"..... Was he the one you were talking about? I thought you were just talking nonsense to try and talk to me?" Isha's voice jolted me out of my reverie when she asked, pointing at me and seething with anger.

"..... Why would I talk nonsense about such a serious matter?" Quinn asked with a hurt face.

"Well you know why!!" Isha snarled at him with a deep frown.

"..... Please, don't say that...." Quinn said with a guilty and sad expression.

"Well, why shouldn't I? After all the 'love' and 'care' your family has drowned me with? I did say not to call me here! But, shouldn't I come here every day to prove to you that I'm 'healthy?'" Isha snarled at him in outrage and annoyance.

"..... And don't you dare make that face as if I am the bad guy!" she snorted in absurdity.

'What's going on? Where am I? Why am I here? Who am I?'

"...." Quinn clenched his shirt near his heart area.

'Damn, Quinn looks in a lot of pain! But I can't help but be angry at him(?) Even though it hasn't been long, I have never seen Isha so enraged. All she ever had on her face was a cold and indifferent expression, she shows most of her emotions when she is with me.....'

'Let her vent it out.' A voice rang in my head which I agreed to because I was planning to do that.

"..... Even calling you 'grandfather' is the most effort I can muster from my end; do you realise how difficult it is for me to make eye contact with anyone other than him and the kids? Why? All because of 'you,' 'the people around you,' 'your family,' and, finally, my f**king parents! I'm holding back my urge to puke just by calling them that!" Isha pointed at Quinn, who was drowned in guilt, sadness and grief.

'Too sudden! What am I supposed to do now? If I had any idea, I would have step up and calm them down but, I don't know anything.'

".... What exactly do you want me to do?" I didn't know anything about you..... No, I couldn't care less about anything else in the world after your grandmothe-" Quinn attempted to justify himself but was cut off by Isha.

"Your wife!" Isha snarled at him.

"Ha... Yes, after my wife passed away, I just wanted to find peace in myself, so I left my son and daughter in law alone to take care of everything... I even thought of leaving behind the academy but it was your grandmo- my wife's dream to make the kids learn and walk their own path-" Quinn said, but was cut short by Isha, again.

"So, you left me behind when I asked you to take me away from your son and 'second' daughter in law?" Isha scoffed.

"You! Left! Behind! Your! Own! So-called granddaughter! So that! You! Can! Teach! A bunch of f**king retarded! Kids!?" Isha asked, her voice increasing with each word she spoke.

"I..... Yes...." Quinn said as he looked down in shame.

'Am I even supposed to be here?'

"A 8 year old kid begged and pleaded for you to 'help' her, you left her behind and now you say you wanted to teach other kids?" Isha seemed outraged, perplexed and bewildered.

".....Yes...." Quinn answered while tears poured out of his eyes which were not visible because he had his head down but I could clearly see he was weeping.

'You made a grown man cry.....'

'Shut up!!!' I scolded my mind for trying to make the situation funny.

"After that, you abruptly returned to 'help' me when I was already emotionally dead at the age of 15!!" Isha yelled as her eyes teared up.

'F**k!' I felt a pang near my heart which increased by the second.

"You 'knew' that your 'second' daughter in law was a greedy woman who would do anything to keep her a*s on a golden commode and left me behind to be 'sold' for a few coins for her?" Isha asked as a lonely tear streamed down her left cheek.

"No!" Quinn slammed his desk and abruptly stood up while his face was twisted in hate.

"I knew that she was a greedy woman! But how would I know that she would such absurd things?" he asked in outrage as tears streamed down his cheek.

'That. Woman. Is. Going. To. Die. By. My. Hands.' I clenched my hands, felt a wet sensation in my fist but I couldn't care less.

'Haha, ha, I really want to kill somebody (?)'

"Haa...." I let out low sigh and let the urge to kill flow through my body and my body trembled in excitement.

'I haven't felt this feeling in a loooooonnnnnngggggg while....'

"So what? Why the f**k would I beg and plead you for help? Did you think a child would throw a tantrum while asking for help? I begged you on my knees, didn't I?" Isha sneered at Quinn while tears streamed down from her eyes.

"..... I-I didn't know....." Quinn said while clenching his fists as mana poured out of his body which was filled with sadness.

'Ho? Adding a little spice huh..... A combination of rage and pain is the best!'

'C-calm down!! Calm down! If I get angry what about them? Isha is more hurt than Quinn but that doesn't mean he is not.... Calm down!' I tried to calm down but when the thought of Isha came, I unknowingly calmed down.

"So now, I need a favour from you, Quinn Walker." Isha said with a firm tone.

"...." Quinn didn't say anything and nodded his head continuously.

"I want you to leave m-" Isha started to speak but was cut short by me.

"Now! Darling, I want us to go on a 'date' right now!" I grabbed her hand and pulled her close.

'I don't want you to do anything that you might come to regret later on.'

I grabbed her waist with my right hand, took her left hand in mine, lifted her up, spun her around, and led her out of the office while playing 'Waltz.' I let go of her left hand once we were outside.

"1 second!" I said with a bright smile and closed the office door, leaving both of them flabbergasted.

CLUNK

I back off a bit, bowed politely and offered her my right hand.

"May I have the honour to have a dance with you?"

"Sniffle, no." Isha said.

"Why?" I asked with dejected expression.

"Because you are bleeding and.... we are not done with the date yet." She said and covered her face with both of her hands.

"Haa... I'll have to wait then." I sighed and removed her hands away from her face, wiped off her tears, wrapped my hands around her neck and pulled her a bit forward, forgetting that I was bleeding.

She flinched and closed her eyes, I chuckled at the sight and leaned forward until our foreheads bumped and stared at her silently for a while, she opened one eye to look and opened both of her eyes wide in surprise.

"Shall we go to our date now, Miss Cyclops?" I chuckled and asked her.

"Y-yes!"
