Chapter Twenty Five

Liam
He stormed toward the gym. He threw away the t-shirt over his head. He started to punch and kicked on the punching bag. He wanted to bring out ire and frustration. So she couldn't stutter with fear from him.
" You need to calm down, brother. " Danil said from behind. Who was already working out in the gym and watching his brother calmly with a smirk.
He ignored him. He grabbed all his frustration, anger in his fist and punched it so brutally. Punching bag broke from its hold and slid on the floor.
" Is it about Rose? " He concerned.
" I hate to see fear in her eyes for me. " He gritted his teeth.
Danil handed him a water bottle. He took it and sat on the chair.
"She'll be fine. Give her some time." Danil suggested.
" It's getting on my nerves. " he raked his hair in resentment.
" It's good. You saw fear, not hatred. " Danil smiled.
He smiled and turned his gaze to him, He smiled broadly, " I didn't expect this from you. "
" Heartbreak has taught me a lot. " Danil smirked.
" I'll not address it as a heartbreak. " He smiled. He knew his brothers more than anything in this world.
" Actually, you're right. " He smirked, " Wanna wash hands. " Danil winked at him.
" Hell, yeah! " He chuckled.
They both walked toward the dungeon.
He silently paced in the room, not intended to break her sleep. Lights were on. He locked the door behind him. He looked at her. She didn't speak and straightened up.
" You didn't sleep. " He looked at her. Her eyes were telling she wept. He couldn't explain how much he hated tears in her eyes. Whenever he wanted to look at her, he just wanted to see her smile and her to be happy.
He sat beside her on the bed, " I'm the reason for your tears. " He rested his palm on her soft cheek.
" No, indeed! You're the reason for my smile. " She said.
His eyes widened hearing it from her. He brushed her hair away from her face, tugging it behind her ear. He could feel surging heat between them.
" I'm sorry. I shouldn't behave like that. " she said.
" No, " he shook his head.
Abruptly, she rushed toward the washroom. He could hear noise of her puking, " Rose, are you alright? " He patted his palm on the door, " Rose. " He was going to break the door. Meanwhile, she opened the door, holding a towel in her hand, " Are you okay? I should call the doctor."
" No, I'm fine. "
He stopped her by arm, " You are not looking okay." He concerned.
" I'll be fine. I should sleep. Good night. and no doctor." She said, popping on bed and closed her eyes.
" Are you sure? "
" Yeah, I'm fine. "
Danil was right. She just needs more time. I should call the doctor and fix an appointment, He thought.
Indeed, he could do anything for her. He bent down and placed a good night kiss on her forehead, " Night, babe. " he whispered. He quickly messaged to his family doctor. When the appointment was fixed. He reclined beside her on the mattress. He stared at her for several times and until he slept.
His eyes unfurled before the sun rose up in the sky. It was an important meeting for him as it was fulfilling his wife's dream. He fastened his cuffs. He gazed at her through the mirror. She was looking adorable in her sleeping hours. He picked up the file from the table. He paced toward her. He bent down and kissed her cheeks. He tucked the blanket over her chest. His phone vibrated in his pocket.
" I'll be there. " He whispered, answering the call. He got the door and hurried toward his car.
He boarded out of his McLaren. He kept his Bugatti secure in his garage as his wife drove it. He took the private elevator for his office floor.
" Good morning, sir," Danny bowed his head.
" Morning." He whispered.
" Mr. Harris has reached and is waiting for you in the conference hall. " Danny said.
" Have you arranged everything? I don't have much time. " He said.
" Yes, sir. Everything is according to you instructed, sir. " Danny said, fastening his pace to match with his boss.
He got through the mirror door. There was a man in black suit, green eyes and black hair. There was a huge smile on his face as he was some teenager instead of a businessman.
" Hello, brother! I'm Dean Harris." He smiled, extending his hand.
" You need to be professional Mr. Harris. " He ignored his hand and took his seat. He beckoned Danny to bring the contract to sign.
" I'm a big fan of you, sir. " He smiled the same.
He put his thumb under his chin and rubbed his finger on his chin. He must be around the same age as Kairo, he thought. Danny passed him a file. He studied it. Mr. Harris' signature was already shining on it. He doubted it. Why did he want to sign this contract with him? He just got out of his college holding his degrees. He must want success in a short period. Wasn't he aware of who he was? People thought more than twice to face him and feared to take his name before. He could easily buy the land to execute the dreams of his wife. But he wanted it according to the legal way. Legality was also a part of her dreams. He signed the contract. He stood up from his seat.
" Big brother! We've signed the contract. At least I deserve a handshake. " He said, extending his hand for a handshake.
He took his hand and shook it. He got out of his office. He stepped in the elevator. He glanced at his wrist. He had fixed an appointment with the doctor.
" I want his details. Who are his parents, friends, school, college, background everything. " He ordered him.
" Yes, sir. " Danny nodded.
He climbed up in his car. He attended his business in the morning and after evening, he dealt with his dark world. He skillfully balanced his two worlds. He thought to have lunch with Rose after their visit to the hospital. He drove back home. He didn't see her in the hall. He wandered his eyes around. He went into the kitchen. His mother was cooking in the kitchen.
He cleared his throat and adjusted his tie. She didn't respond and carried on stirring whatever she was cooking, " Have you seen, Rose? " He asked his mother.
She turned, " Oh Liam! I thought, it's your father. " She gladly said, " She is still sleeping. You need to give more attention to her, she skipped her food, mostly. I've also found her vomiting once. When I called the doctor. She locked herself in her room. " She said to him.
It tensed him, getting that he wasn't taking care of her. On second hand, He never talked to his mother like this normally. It was Rose who was bounding them together. He turned on his shoes, " I should talk to her. " He whispered.
" Liam! wait! I've made spinach soup for her. Will you taste it? I don't like spinach. " She said.
" For Rose? " he asked like an innocent guy.
" Yes " She smiled, holding a spoon with the soup.
" Sure " He nodded.
She stepped ahead and held the big spoon for him. He tasted it. He could see eagerness on her face that she was waiting for him to comment on it.
" Is it bad? I think I should pour it in thrash." She asked.
" No, it's good. She'll love it. " He was feeling awkward. He always ignored her as she didn't exist.
" Aw, thanks Liam. " She smiled and waited for him to say.
But he remained silent and scooted toward his room. He pushed the door open. She was still sleeping. He was getting worried about her. She woke up early. Was she sick? He sat down near her. He tucked the lock of hair from her face. He ran his fingers in her hair and massaged her scalp.
" Rose, " he sweetly called her name.
She stirred and opened her eyes. She nictitated her eyes to see him clearly.
" Liam, are you going to the office? " She asked in a sleepy voice.
He smiled, " Are you alright, sweet heart? " He asked, still massaging her scalp.
" Sweet heart! " She exclaimed the word with closed eyes, " I'm fine. " She opened her eyes and stared in his eyes.
" Should I call the doctor? " He asked.
She immediately sat up, " No, " She squeaked.
Why was she sounding so weird, " Are you sure? " He asked her.
" I think I'm hungry. " She bit her lip. Meanwhile, her stomach growled, " Oops sorry. '' She smiled pretentiously.
" Get ready. I'll ask Angelina to prepare the food. " He was assured, she wasn't telling the truth.
She nodded. He stood back. He studied her face and witnessed her jitteriness. It was going to be one month for their marriage. It was more than enough time for him to understand her properly. Something stuck in his mind. He skipped his heart beat.
" Did you miss your...... "
" Liam " She cut him off. She hid her face in her hands. He pulled her hands away from her face. She was blushing pink , shy and nervous.
" I'm calling the doctor. " He fished his phone.
" Oh my gosh! I'm not pregnant. How it can be. It... it... I'm just tired. " She said.
" The way it's happened, babe. " He called the doctor.
" I'm not pregnant. I don't want any doctor near me. " She rushed toward the washroom. He was waiting for her to come out of the washroom. Doctor was already waiting for his call downstairs. When she washed up and was ready. He called the doctor in. Doctor Raven checked her taking her time.
" You have weaknesses. Ain't you eat? " Doctor said to her. But her face was saying something else. He could see fear.
" She skipped her meal mostly. I have to run after her. She's stubborn like a little girl. " Olivia complained.
He took the slip from the doctor and thanked her. He folded his arms over his chest and glared at her.
" Why are you skipping your meal? " He asked in a heavy voice.
" Because I'm vegan. " She timidly whispered.
He cursed under his breath. He was too busy to keep himself away from her. He forgot she was vegetarian and diet conscious.
" I've made spinach soup for you. You'll love it. " His mother said.
Angelina came in with a tray. His mother took it from her and Olivia asked her to bring Liam's food in the room. When his food tray was in the room. She left him with his wife.
