Doted On By The Mafia Boss novel Chapter 44

Since the time Catherine was taken to her class and Ryan to his own, the boy kept on wondering if she was doing ok there. He was so worried that he couldn't even concentrate in class, if not for his homeschool lessons which were too advanced the the one he was learning in class he could have been punished for not answering the questions the teacher threw at him.

When a short break was given to them Ryan dashed across the corridors to her class to make sure she was okay. When he entered in he found he missing from her seat, he looked tensed at Jack and asked where she was. The two boys went inside the class to find Catherine standing at a corner, hugging a single notebook.

"Ryan!" Her saddened face brightened up as soon as she saw those two similar faces. She ran and hugged his legs. Ryan knelt down to match her height and asked, "What is it, why are you here alone? And where are your stuff."

Her grip on the book tightened as she confessed slowly, "They took away my belongings!"

Ryan's face turned grim when he heard his words, the temperature around him started to tense up as he asked with a murderous tone, "What did they do?" The girl who obviously couldn't estimate the anger bubbling up inside him confessed, "They snatched away my books, colours and even my lunch. I could only save this notebook from being stolen away."

"It's ok, I will bring back your stuff!" Ryan cupped her cheeks before asking, "Who did this to you?" The girl clutched his arms before taking him to a kid who was sitting there savouring a variety of snacks he had stolen away from other kids. He looked bulkier and stronger than other kids, maybe that was the reason he was bullying others this easily.

Ryan balled his fist and took a step towards the bully but was stopped by Jack, he whispered, "Do you want to get expelled on the very first day for beating up a kid?"

"Do you want me to let him continue to bully her?" The boy asked and to this Jack replied, "No, just a scolding would do."

The two approached the boy, Jack sat down beside him while Ryan climbed up on the desk trapping the other side with his leg. The kid stopped eating and looked up at the two, "Yo, who are you, man?" Jack replied signalling at Catherine, "I am that girl's elder brother and he is her future husband."

His words grabbed the attention of the rest of the kids who raised their heads and looked at the trio talking. The boy looked up at Ryan who was staring at him with his piercing gaze cracking his knuckles. His overbearing eyes and aura somehow lowered the boy's bravery as he spoke with a more polite tone, "W... What is it, big brother?"
