Chapter 106_ Move Mountains For You

Two weeks later, Arya was discharged from the hospital today, and instead of taking her back to the hotel where they had been residing since their arrival in Italy. Kane decided to bring her to the Maranello estate in the central part of the city. His white sports car drove through an ornate gate, parking in front of a grand building. Kane unbuckled his seat belt and alighted from the driver's seat, as he moved around the car and stopped at the other side of the car. He opened the car door for Arya, and held out his hand to her, and Arya smiled softly at him as she placed her hand in his big palm.

Kane had been fussing over her a bit too much since he found out that she was pregnant with his child. He prevented her from doing anything on her own, and was always there to cater to her needs; he even assigned a personal nurse to take care of Arya when he wasn't around. Though he was being a little too extra, Arya knew it was because he was worried for her well-being and that of the baby.

“WOW!" Arya exclaimed, when she saw the opulent tall storey building in front of her. Her eyes sparkled at the fresh air that grazed her cheeks, and looking at the green plants surrounding the building and a vast ocean that was perched behind the building; Arya felt her mood brightened instantly and she removed her hand from Kane and walked a little bit faster to inspect her surroundings.

“Hey, Arya. Slow down, please." Kane called after her, and with his heart pounding in his chest, he caught up with her, and carefully led her inside, showing her the rest of the building and a beautiful garden that was right behind the house.

After a while of showing Arya around, Kane led her inside the house and Arya almost gaped at the flourishing living room that oozed wealth and sophistication, with its crystal chandeliers, plush velvet sofas, and intricate marble flooring. “Wow, this place looks like a palace, Kane." Arya commented, and walked further inside as she went to sit on one of the sofas.

Kane chuckled, and moved closer to her, he bent down to kneel in front of her and said, “Do you want to live here?"

Arya snapped her head at him, and though tempted to bobbed her head at him, she shook her head. She was missing her hometown already, and wanted to go back but she couldn't leave yet since Kane went ahead to agree to Nicholas’s challenge and now, they can't leave the city until the race took place. “This place is really nice, I don't mind coming here for vacation but I want us to go back home."

Kane’s eyes lit up at her words, when he heard the word ‘Us’ does that mean Arya had forgiven him? He mused, and then swallowed hard before he asked tentatively, “Have you forgiven me, Tigress?”

Arya rubbed her tummy; a habit she had grown to do since she found out she was carrying the fruit of their love. She gazed up to look at the father of her child and nodded her head at him. And Kane smiled, a wide smile that's contagious making Arya smile back at him. “Thank you so much, My Love. I love you so much, and I promise that I won't make you regret giving me a second chance to prove my love to you everyday of my life."

"Really?” Arya said, as Kane raised his hand to the back of her head, and kissed her forehead, making Arya's heart flutter with love for the man.

“Yes, My Queen. I love you more than anything in this world." Kane assured her, and then leaned forward to connect their lips into a passionate kiss. After a while, he pulled away, leaving Arya breathless.

“Are you really going to race Nicholas tomorrow? You don't have to do that, Kane. I'm worried for you." Arya said, after a moment of silence between them and Kane’s eyes softened as he looked at the little woman.

He took both of her hands, and placed a kiss on them before looking straight into her worried eyes, he said, “I have never been better in my life, Arya. With you at my side I feel I can do anything. Other people don't matter anymore when you believe in me. You are my strength. You make me complete. And if you give me your trust, I’ll never break it again. Do you trust me, Tigress?”

Arya's heart raced in her chest, and she felt her toes curl up just by the intense look in Kane's eyes. She knew she trusted him, even more than herself and that was never going to change. “Yes, I do.” She answered, and Kane pulled her into a tight hug, caressing her hair with his hands.

He murmured beside her ears, "I always thought that caring, trusting, sharing and all these kinds of things were for weak people but I was wrong. Because, since I trusted you, and cared about you, and shared with you… I’m stronger than I have ever been. And I want more. I want to be the best possible version of myself, and the version you deserve. I want to move mountains for you.”

Arya's eyes watered at the man's sweet words, and she pulled away from him, and said, “You want to do something for me? Then win that damned race and let's close this whole thing. You will do that for me, right, My Playboy Racer?”

Kane grinned, and nodded at her, he towered over her, and pushing her gently on the sofa, he captured her lips and dived into her sweet mouth that he had missed so much. His hands roamed her body, and Arya moaned into his mouth making Kane grunt as he clashed with her tongues and kissed her deeply.

“Ahem!” The both of them pulled apart at the sound and turned their heads, and they saw the teasing smile etched on Chloe's and Alonso’s face as they grinned at the couple. “Get a room, you two." Alonso teased, and went to sit on the sofa opposite them while Chloe followed after him and sat beside him.

Arya's ears and face redden at being caught by their friends while Kane scowled, and shot a glare their way. ‘Why do they have to show up now, and interrupt the sweet moment between him and his woman?’
“Why are you both here?" Kane grumbled, and pulling himself away from Arya, he tidied her clothes and sat on the sofa upright.

Chloe chuckled at Kane, and instead of teasing him, she went straight to the point. “Well, I have just found out where the race between you and Nicholas will be taking place tomorrow." She revealed, and Arya looked at her with hopeful eyes.

"Really?” She said, and when Chloe nodded at her, Arya sent a flying kiss with her hands making Chloe chuckled while both men gazed at the two women with affection for them.

"Here, take a look at this.” Chloe said, handing Kane the map in her hands. There was a red line on the route where the race track would take place, and as Kane’s eyes followed the red line across the city, he reflexively clutched the paper in his hands, his eyes widened and he got pale like a ghost. He was staring at the route, scared and angry at the same time.
