CHAPTER 38

CASSIE'S POV:-



A month had been passed since Norie brought us to her mansion. The Rutherfords were very kind and welcoming. They did not feel strangers at all. It felt like we were part of their family. Chris and I enjoyed our honeymoon. And as Norie had promised, no one tried to get to us. Norie was the reason we were able to enjoy our time together.


Chris and I came back from our morning walk. As we were opening the door of the guest house, Mrs Rutherford came from behind. She asked us if we would like to have anything special for breakfast. She was really a sweetheart. Chris told her that everything would be okay with us. She went away and we stepped into the guest house.


We went towards the bedroom. I went towards the bed and laid down. Chris grabbed his bath gown and stepped into the bathroom. I just did not know why, but I started to miss my dad. Maybe because I had not talked to him after whatever happened. Or maybe because he was not here to hug me like he always did whenever I would feel down.


He said he would be in Scotland soon but it took him time. The FBI officials called him back to Washington and he also had to do some paperwork to get a team so they could come here and take Hendrick with them. In all that fuss, I literally started to miss him a lot.


I was so drowned into my thoughts that I did not realize when Chris was by my side. He pecked my cheek and that pulled me out of my thoughts. I smiled cheekily and wrapped my arms around his neck. I pecked his cheek and he wrapped his arms around me. We laid together on the bed, cuddling with each other.



Chris: What were you thinking?


He whispered into my ear as I snuggled even closer to him. Not the smell of his cologne, not even the fresh citric smell of his soap did anything to his actual scent. And as always, he smelled like home. He was my home.


Cassie: Nothing, I just miss dad. He said he would be here soon but it is still taking time. And until he comes, we can not go back home. I just miss everyone. Mr Hunt, Stella, Iris, my job. I miss everything.


I replied in a sad tone. He chuckled and pecked my lips.


Chris: Your dad will soon be here. I know you miss everything, I do as well. That was why I was keeping you busy with all shopping and traveling and our honeymoon fun. You know, once we will be back home, you will miss this time we have spent here, in Scotland.


He said in a sweet tone that melted my heart. And he was right. It was our very first honeymoon and it was as magical as Chris had promised it to be. I knew we had been through a lot but in the end, as always, Chris and I found each other again.


And after whatever had happened, Chris would never leave my hand. Sometimes, it made me feel like I was a baby and he was taking care of me. He always treated me like a baby. But I never knew he would be extra cautious after our wedding.


Cassie: I love you, Chris. I just don't know what I would have done without you. It also made me realize that I was into you for long. I never understood. But I knew deep inside my heart, you were special for me. I always thought how you knew everything about me without asking. But the only thing I still don't understand, why did you not tell me that all before?


I asked him and he sighed. He kissed the top of my head.


Chris: I always thought that I was not worthy of you. You know, it is not my first marriage. I just could not stop myself after all that. I could not leave you alone that time. Every time I saw tears in your eyes, I felt an ache in my chest. I did not tell you anything because I thought you deserved better. I just did not know that it was our destiny to be together.


He replied and I pecked his bicep. I could not control myself after hearing his words. His kindness, his care, his possessiveness and his protective side. It was actually his love for me. The same love he was hiding behind curtains to keep it all away and hidden from me.


Chris: I love you too. And there is nothing and nobody, who can try to separate us. Only death can do us apart. And that too for a little time. We will meet each other again in heaven.


He said and I nodded my head. He pecked my forehead and helped me up. He then took me to the bathroom and helped me strip my clothes. I then stepped into the shower and he stepped out. I washed my hair and my body. Once done, I stepped out of the bathroom. As always, he helped me with my clothes.


Once we were done, he grabbed my hand and we stepped out of the guest house. He took me to Rutherford's mansion. As we stepped in the dining hall, we were welcomed by the freshly baked goods. To my surprise, chocolate chip cookies were also on the table. My stomach growled loudly and my mouth filled with water as my eyes fell on the delicious cookies.


We both went to the table and took our seats. I grabbed a cookie and took a huge bite. I moaned as the flavor of fresh vanilla with sweet chocolate burst into my mouth. Chris leaned over towards my ear and cleared his throat. I looked at him with a raised brow and annoyed look.


Chris: If you moan again candy, I swear to God I will fuck you right here on this table and in front of everyone.


My eyes widened as he whispered into my ear. I slapped his arm playfully and he chuckled.


Cassie: Where is Norie, Mrs Rutherford?


I asked Mrs Rutherford who was sitting beside me. She shrugged her shoulders and I frowned. I also shrugged and grabbed another cookie. I just could not help myself when it comes to chocolate chip cookies.


Agent Wolf: I thought I heard that you were missing me, sunshine?


I froze as I heard my father's voice. I turned around to confirm if my mind was not playing any games with me. It was really him. My father was finally in Scotland.
