She woke up in the middle of the night. Her eyes searched for him around. The lamp was on and she couldn't see him or any sign of him. She kept looking around with her sleepy eyes. She pushed herself out of the warmth of the duvet. She was the queen of peace and he was the king of Evil. There was no match. Still, they were like body and soul. Her heart was beating so hard she thought it might jump right up her throat. Walking over to the door, she gripped the doorknob and twisted it. She didn't want him to find out but deep down in her head, she knew, he would know. That scared the hell out of her pants. Her eyes met the questioning gaze of Travis. He was on his feet, extending his strides at the door. There were four more guards. She was watching them for the first time. She felt the need to have her gun. "Liam," Her voice was groggy. "In the office, ma'am," Travis said. With a slight nod, She paced out of the room.
The next morning, she put on jeans and a blue cardigan. Her hair was tugged up in a messy bun. She wasn't wearing a speck of makeup. Travis was walking along her like her shadow. She didn't see her husband after waking up. She was hoping to see him in the dining hall. She found him seated on his usual chair. He was wearing a blue designer suit. 'Wao' She just stared at him. She shook her head, 'No, he captured me in the room.' She walked over to the floor. Instead of sitting at her usual place, she sat in the empty chair, far from his. It went dead silent, she could feel the tension in the air. All big eyes were on her. She kept her gaze on the table. "Isha, take the kids with you. Stay with them." Danil said. No one argued and they hurried out of the hall. She could see their steps fading. She looked at her husband through the corners of her eyes. His eyebrows were pulled together in anger. The hair stands up
The flight landed early in the morning reaching Detroit. Cody and Selena were excited. But she could also feel the tension in the air. She ran her fingers on the necklace, the blood rubies, and the diamonds. "Thanks, it's beautiful. But I told you not to buy it." She said to him, turning on her heels. "I made words to you." He said, striding toward her. He hugged her from behind, his arms were soft around her stomach. She felt the slight change in the air, "I won't try to break in your security." She covered his large hand with her small one. "That's not my concern." He admitted. Sniveling her neck, she peered at him, "Then?" She asked. "Sit," He motioned at the mattress. Taking steps away from him, she sat down, keeping her gaze on him. He lifted his hand clenching the gun, with a holster. She bared her thigh as realized it. A smile tugged on his lips. He bent over. His warm hand slid around her thigh. His touch was so
She could pay no heed as they strolled toward the double door of the hall where the ring ceremony was going to be held. Noises, murmuring, laughs, and giggles reached her when they stepped in. She darted her eyes at unfamiliar faces. They were looking at them with curious eyes. Nervously, she moved closer to her husband. She smiled when she looked at her family. Danil trotted over to the floor and curled his arm around his wife. He muttered something that made Isha giggle. She hid it behind her hand. Liam kept his face stoic, "It's Kairo's wedding. Can't you smile?" She asked him under her breath. His intense gaze turned to her, "It's Kairo who should be smiling." He muttered back. She found Kairo beside his parents and Vincent and some cruel faces which made her want to run away back to the room. There was no expression on his face, "I don't know what to say," She shivered when she felt one of the cruel-faced looking at her.
A smile was glued to her face. She couldn't stop contemplating about him, his behavior which wasn't making sense to her. "How did you meet Liam?" Ariana asked. Hesitantly and fearfully. 'I want her to tell me the truth. So, I could help her. I'll call my brother. He won't question me.' It took her seconds to seep her words. Her cheeks turned pink when she recalled the time she saw him in the club, his emerald green eyes - next day. "Oh! That was truly amazing. They met in the club." Isha excitedly replied. She blushed harder as she cast her head lower when she was recalling that day. "Really! Then?" Ariana asked with big eyes. She couldn't keep the curiosity to herself. "Liam came to meet her daily and he planned dinner for her, shop for her. That's all, I know," Her excitement turned into sadness as she glanced at her as demanding something but couldn't ask, "Liam warned me and Ana that we couldn't ask her any details. Don't
She was glammed up in a lemon green tulle dress with a deep v-shape back, the bodice was embroidery with platinum thread and diamonds. Her hair was straight and the ends were coiled. She blinked her long lashes as she sat on the couch. She was planning to be barefoot again. "Mom, I have a gift for you," Cody rushed in, grasping a white box in his hands. He was wearing a dark grey suit with a bow. Her lips curled up, "You're looking handsome." He chuckled, "Grandma and aunt said so too." He slid the box on the table and looked up at her with a teeth-showing grin. She leaned in and kissed his head, softly touching his cheek. He held her hand in his hands, "Selena said, I look cute, girls are gonna kiss me." He pouted his lips sadly. She chuckled loudly, "But I'm your mother, you're far from that age and your grandma and Aunt love you," She took his small hands between her hands. "I love them too. I love you and dad the most. You took me
' Liam didn't want to stay after the wedding. We left. He always confuses me. I don't think I will ever understand my husband and his moods. He's a locked book. Even so, it's hard to find the keyhole. I can't believe that I told him that I'll leave. It still hurts. Danil is a sweet brother-in-law. He takes care of me as my elder brother does. Kairo! I don't think he's ever gonna stop hating me. He endures me because he loves his brothers and family. ' She stretched her legs, peering at her husband. He leaned over his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard. She kept looking at him. His expressionless gaze riveted on her. With a frown, he stared down at the wrist, "Why are you up? Go to sleep," He ordered her, turning his gaze to the screen. "I can't sleep," She said. His frown deepened, as he lifted his head, "Why's that?" He demanded, his jaw hardened. "Can you stop showing me your angry side?" She asked, annoyed. He
She was shuffling the pages of a magazine. After a lot of trying, she wasn't into her nightmare. Isha and Olivia were preparing the menu. They had invited Vincent to dinner. Her gaze was turning to the stairs. Liam was in the office with his father. "Good morning, sister-in-law," A cheerful voice reached her ears. She recognized the voice. A full grin displayed on her face, "Lorenzo! How are you?" He kissed her head, "Good. Good. Thank you so much. I wouldn't have done this without you. It was my dream." His smile could be seen from afar. She giggled, "I didn't do anything. Did they like your idea? How was the meeting?" She asked nervously. His smile didn't disappear, "What is my face showing?" He asked, pointing his finger at his smiling face. "Excellent!" She squealed excitedly. He nodded, approving her guess, "How are you both doing?" He asked her. She giggled again. She was thankful he wasn't like
