Why?

After that episode.

"I want you to forget your past," Derek said. I saw his wrath as I glanced at him.
How am I supposed to forget about my past? When I tried to forget about it, destiny had other intentions. Then how?
I muttered, "I'll try."
Derek abruptly stroked my chin and said, "I love you, Elena. "I will not allow anyone to hurt or love you," he declared.
"Tell me about what he did to you now. "Please tell me everything ", he asked.
I closed my eyes and said, "i-i."
I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you. Derek, I'm sorry. But then I felt someone seize my waist and force me to sit on his lap, and I instantly opened my eyes. "Mr. Derek I-" he abruptly interrupted, "now we have the entire night." Elena, you may take your time. I'm all in. "
He accidentally touched my back. I whimpered in agony as he touched my back.
"What's the matter?" Derek asked, his voice cracking. I shook my head, "no nothing." " Elena, let me look," he said as he slid my hair to the sides and back. "It's nothing, Mr. Derek," I said.
Because this gown is backless, he can readily see the wound on my back. But my forbidding goes in vain. "Elena, what is this?" Derek asked as he lifted my hair and saw the wound. I took a deep breath and bowed my head. He tenderly rubbed his fingertips over my wound. He asked, "Did he do this to you?" My eyes welled up with tears.

Derek's point of view.
Damn that bastard. He savagely beat Elena. Now I'm going to show him how it feels. I tried to stand up, but Elena grabbed my arm.
"Please don't," Elena pleaded.
Elena's point of view.
Derek quickly tried to stand up, but I held his hand. I already know what he'll do. "Please don't," I pleaded. "He touched my wife, so he has to pay," Derek replied, without even looking at me. "Please don't, Mr. Derek," I said, clutching his hand hard.

I begged, "Please don't kill him, Derek."
Derek's viewpoint.
I know why you won't let me hurt him. Because you love him. But believe me, it's difficult for me to hand you over to him right now. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you close to me. I'm not letting him have you.
"Why don't you want me to hurt him?" Derek asked after a brief pause.
"I know he physically assaulted me. But believe the fact that he wasn't like that before. I know that he has wronged me. But, I do not want him to die. I saw him very closely. He had a lot of difficulties as well, "I stated emphatically."
"Only this," he said, smiling at me. His quick smile startled me, and I diverted my attention away from him.

"Okay, I'll think about what you've said. I won't kill him, but he must pay the price," Derek explained. "But you didn't say if you loved him or not?" he asked.
I let out a sigh and said, "Mr. Derek, please don't ask me this question since I don't know the answer to that either. You're my hubby now. You are my present, and future, my entire being. I won't give you any chance to complain about me. As a wife, I will perform all of my responsibilities, "I exclaimed quickly.
He suddenly pressed his forehead against mine. We were only a few inches apart. His hot breath was crashing into my cheeks. Then he responded, "Only responsibilities?"
I bit my lower lip and slowly murmured, "Give me some time." "And, Mr. Derek, thank you," I said.

"Why is that?" he inquired.
"First, you saved my life," I said, "and second, you accepted me so quickly."
"Accept you?" "What do you mean by that?" he asked once again.
He leaned closer and rested his chin on my shoulder. His hot breath was piercing my ear. I wasn't terrified of his touch anymore, but I was feeling a strange sense of peace. and that was making me trust him. I, too, must accept him as quickly as possible. I was too shy to hold his arm, so I sat quietly on his lap and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't accept me because of my past." Moreover, you did not misunderstand me. "

Derek kissed my neck unexpectedly. I closed my eyes and turned my head to the opposite side of the room. I was clutching my gown with both hands.
"Do you know where I saw you first?" he said as he caressed my hair.
No, I said with a nod.
He said, "with your friends."
I asked, "Friends? Where? "
He answered, "in a car." He smiled as he replied, "and then that night, and now you're my wife." "Elena, do you recognize me now? Are you able to recall what we did that night? ", he said.
I answered, raising my brows. "No, I'm not sure. Lucy said, "You are Derek. But you know, when I first saw you, I had the feeling that I had seen you somewhere but couldn't remember where."
"Mr. Derek, what did we do that night?" I asked. I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say.
When he heard me, he laughed and said, "I'll let you know later." I don't want my princess to be bashful. "
"So, did I do anything wrong?" I worriedly asked.
He replied with a chuckle and a yes. "But, I'm curious as to how a girl can marry an unknown guy," he said.
"So, what should I do ? You didn't give me an option, and I wanted to get out of there. ", I expressed my displeasure.
He asked, "Didn't you see my name?" No, I nodded.
I gave him a friendly smile and asked, "Tell me about your family." "How come your father and brother aren't here?" I asked. His attitude abruptly changed, and he asked, "Who told you this?"

"I mean-" I was a little taken aback. I believe I asked him a personal question about something that I shouldn't have done.
"I'm sorry, but I just heard. I mean, no one told me ", I explained.
"I only had my mother. You are now my entire world, "he explained. "I don't have a brother or a father," he added.

In the dim light.
Paul was slamming his head against a wall and murmuring excitedly. Elena, how could you kiss him? Why did you kiss him since you kissed me so passionately that night? You always said no to me, but that night you accepted me from the bottom of your heart. So, what made you decide to abandon me? I love you more than your husband, Elena. You are all mine.
He instantly punched the wall and shouted, "Don't you dare sleep with him, Elena!"
