Mikhail's eyes narrowed as the younger male pushed him, attempting to belittle him. However, he remained calm and focused, not allowing the provocation to cloud his judgment. When the man mentioned marrying Natasha and brushed past him, Mikhail's protective instincts surged. He moved swiftly to follow them into the kitchen, fully aware of the danger Nat was facing.
The scene in the kitchen escalated quickly, with the man taunting Natasha and attempting to harm her. Nat's screams for him to stop fueled Mikhail's resolve. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, using his training and experience to intervene.
In one swift motion, Mikhail grabbed the man's arm and forced him away from Nat. His grip was firm, but not aggressive. "That's enough," he said sternly, locking eyes with the younger man. "You will not touch her, and you will not disrespect her. Your presence here is unauthorized, and you have no right to make demands or cause harm."
The younger man struggled against Mikhail's grip but quickly realized that he was overpowered. Mikhail's strength and determination were evident, and the man reluctantly submitted. "Fine," he grumbled, backing away. "I'll leave for now, but the don better be prepared to deal with me."
With a warning look, Mikhail let go of the man's arm and watched as he and his bodyguards retreated. Once they were gone, he turned his attention back to Nat. "Are you alright?" he asked gently, concern evident in his eyes. "I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you." He moved closer to her, offering his support and comfort. Nat's safety was his priority, and he would do everything in his power to protect her.
