Chapter Thirty Three

He never allowed anyone to rule himself except this girl. She was his entire world. He would like to kill for her and wouldn't hesitate to die for her. He wanted to pamper her, spoil her and wanted to spend his whole life with her. He could wait for her. Her arms were around his neck. He never felt peace in his life before, today he did, indeed wherever her arms were around him. He was holding her softly as he was feared to break her. She was resting her head on his broad shoulder. His arms were around her waist. Her eyes were closed. They were slowly moving with slow music.
" Are you sleeping? " He mocked.
" I'm feeling safe with you. " She said, making him astound. He was Mafia. People frightened from him, beg for their life. Enemies prefered to suicide than to die with his torture. He glowered down at her face. His phone vibrated in his pocket. He fished it out.
' I wanna meet you, brother - Lorenzo'
He ran his fingers on it, asking Paul to check outside. He put it back in his pocket. After a while, Paul came and nodded at his boss to tell him that all was under control. He scooped her up in his arms.
She opened her eyes. It was past midnight, " What happened? " She murmured.
" You are looking tired. Let's go home. " He whispered.
She buried her head in his shoulder, " Hmm, " She hummed as she didn't want to stop it.
He heaved a deep sigh when his car was safely parked in the parking lot of the mansion. He carried her in the bedroom. She was almost sleeping. He removed her heels. He pecked on her both cheeks. She stirred.
" Liam, " She muttered.
" Yes, " He drew his face closer to her face.
" You forget your kiss. " She murmured in her sleep with closed eyes
" I'll take it in the morning. When you'll no longer be sleeping or drowsy. " He chuckled silently.
She smiled slightly going back to her deep sleep. She must be dreaming, he thought.
He strode to the dungeon. Lorenzo was sitting on one of the metal chairs. He was looking frightened.
" He didn't say anything. He said, He wants to talk only to you. I couldn't beat him up. You know.. But his face is already bruised. " Danil shrugged his shoulders.
" I know. I'll see that. " he nodded.
Lorenzo was like kairo to both brothers. On second hand, he was out of this Mafia world and was running a garment business in New York.
He paced toward him, resting his hand on the metal table. Lorenzo's lips lifted in a smile seeing him, " Brother. "
" Who did, this to you? " He asked, beckoning with his index finger to his face.
" Hebrew and father. " Lorenzo replied with sad eyes.
" Why would they do this to you? Why should we trust you? " Danil asked.
Lorenzo looked at the other men in the room. He wondered why he became silent. He waved them out. They quickly left.
" Say it. " he demanded.
" You'll not trust me brother. " Lorenzo hung his head.
It fleshed her memory doing the same with her head whenever she felt sad.
" Depends what you have for us, say it. "
" When dad planned an attack on Rose. I had come from my office and I eavesdropped Hebrew and his conversation. I tried to stop them and they ended up beating me up and locked in my own room. When the nanny found me locked. She helped me out. But security found us escaping. They shot us. I dodged but the poor old lady couldn't survive. She said something for your mother. " Lorenzo said.
Danil and he was carefully hearing him. He was pacing in the dungeon. Mention of his mother halted his feet and he stared at him. His hands clinched.
" What did she say? " Danil asked.
"Aunt Lilly didn't die. She is alive. " He said.
" Watch your mouth if it's a lie you'll face consequences. " He warned him in his threatening voice. His clinched hands started to pain which he ignored completely.
" Nanny said. She was there when Aunt got married. " Lorenzo said.
" To whom, " He retorted.
" She told me a name, Charlie Chris Harris. " Lorenzo said.
" If this is a lie.. . .. " He started.
" You can kill me brother. " Lorenzo cut him off.
" Paul called a doctor," he shouted.
" I hope you are telling the truth. " Danil said, resting his hand on Lorenzo's shoulder but eyes on him.
" I'll forget it. I gave you space in my life as Kairo. If this is merely to distract me. " He threatened him.
Lorenzo nodded his head. He paced in the study and propelled his coat through the air and landed on the floor.
Did she pretend her death to marry someone else? She could take me with her if she wanted to start a new life. Does she didn't want me to be part of her new life? Did she never care for me or I was just a burden for her. Dammit!! I can't assume things until I hear from her. God knows Lorenzo is feigning or telling the truth. ' He thought.
Danil came in holding two glasses of whisky, offering one to him. He held it and gulped down his whisky.
" You didn't deny it. " Danil asked.
" She's sleeping. " he put the glass on the table.
" They will find the exact one Charlie Chris Harris till the morning. You know what, brother? It's your best quality. You never get aggressive. But when you lose it you are far beyond this, worse than impetuous. '' Danil said, bringing more whisky. He filled both glasses again and poured down it. He wanted to wash away the pain in his chest with it.
He woke up next morning pounding in his head. He widened his eyes to throw away the blurry.
" Good morning, " Her sweet voice reached his ears.
He turned on his back to see her, " Hey, morning. " He whispered, rubbing his head. She was in a simple black dress touching the upper skin of her knees. Her hair was wet. She was breathtaking. He smiled, forgetting the last night pain.
She left the room without a word. Her mother's smiling face flashed in his memory from the picture. He closed his eyes. Pain in his chest was still there.
" Liam, get up. " She cooed. She was sitting near him on the mattress. She put the tray on a small table beside the bed.
He crawled his hand on her neck and pulled her down to kiss her cheek but stopped. When it hit him, She didn't like the smell of alcohol. He backed away from her pulling himself up, removing his hands from her. She gave him a glass. It was looking like water but blurry.
" What's this? " He asked, raising his brows.
" I added lemon in the water. You drank last night. You have a headache. I guess. " She said, swallowing the lump in her throat.
" How do you know? " He wanted to grimace at the sourness of the drink, " How many lemons have you added in it. "
" Enough to make it away. When I wake up. You smelled like alcohol. " She smiled.
He was watching her, blinks of her eyes, talking her lips, muscles of her throat. He was getting the distraction that he urgently needed now. He took her hand in his hand and lifted it to kiss. She pulled it back with a blush.
She unfurled the door of his cupboard and plucked black Armani suit, " Is this fine, Liam? " She asked with a smile.
She was behaving like a perfect wife and he was liking it. She was distracting him from his pain, " Whatever you like, babe. " He smiled.
" Ok, Any special demand for breakfast? Mom is teaching me to make your favorite food. " She smiled broadly.
" You're not cooking. You'll burn your hands. " He said. He knew his wife didn't know how to boil water. Her sister actually kept her like a doll. He stepped out from the bed.
" Liam, I'm your wife not a doll. Please, mom will be there with me. I'll be careful. I wanna cook for you. " She insisted.
He loved this change in her after the dinner last night. He wanted to claim her again. But he wanted to see love in her eyes for him first, " Alright, but with a lot of care. If you will not careful. You aren't stepping in there again."
She smiled ear to ear and hopped out of the room like a kid.
He was buttoning his coat. Storm in his mind was causing the same pain in his chest.
" Brother, " Danil said.
He smiled with a hope to get his answers, " You find her. " He asked, hiding his curiosity.
" I told you, before you wake up. " Danil whirled the laptop screen toward him. She was in a white wedding gown and smiling to see a man beside her. He was tall and in black suit, " Charlie Chris Harris. " Danil cleared his doubt, " There is a surprise. " He continued, clicking on the laptop, showing a new picture of his mother with a young man. When he saw the boy next to her. He was astounded and enraged at the same time.
" Dean Harris. " He gritted his teeth and rushed out of the room to interrogate them.
" Stop brother, brother! " Danil ran after his brother, " Rose will get upset if she will see you like this. " His words stopped him.
" I thought you'd have told her. " He snapped.
" I did not tell anyone. " Danil rubbed his jaw, " Rose was screaming in the kitchen this morning seeing your favorite food walking."
" What? " He furrowed his brows. His favorite food was crabs. His lips parted in a smooth smile remembering her Story. But he didn't want her to hurt herself. He moved fast with his feet toward the kitchen. He found her standing in the dining room. She was looking anxious and uneasy. She walked digging her nails in her palms.
" Liam, " She cutely called his name, standing two steps away from him, " I tried to catch the crab. I couldn't. I couldn't cook your favorite food. I've made an omelet for you. " She slowly said and dug her eyes on the ground. She was pouting her lips.
He ran his eyes on her arms and hands. When he found she wasn't hurt. He inhaled a deep breath, " Let's eat. I shouldn't allow you to cook. " He said, putting his arm around her waist and walking at the table with her.
He bit the omelet. He couldn't believe she could cook amazingly in her first term. She was waiting for him to tell her, how was her cooking? She wasn't even eating her food.
" How's it? " She asked him, biting her lips.
' She always bit her lip when she got nervous and fidgety.' he thought.
" It's delicious. But you will not cook in future. " He declared.
" It's bad. You are not telling the truth. " She made an angry face and crossed her arms around her chest.
" It's amazing, Rose. I don't want you to work. That's it. " He smiled.
She opened her mouth but he put his finger on her light pink lips, " No argue. " He stood up.
" But... " she stood with him.
" I'm busy all day. Don't wait for me at dinner." He pecked before going and pulled her into a tight hug. He was inhaling her smell which was placating his stormy thoughts. Her hand was on his chest, " Are you alright, Liam? " She asked with a concern in her voice.
He pulled his head back, glaring at her face. He nodded, " See you. " With a kiss on her forehead, he strode out of the house.
" It's a brilliant idea. But what if they know who you are? " Danil asked.
" If they already know. I wanted to find out how much they know about me. " He said, accelerating the car.
" He may be your half brother. " Danil said.
" I'm not thinking about that right now. '' He said.
" Yeah, you have a mother to think about. " He said.
He wasn't sure after knowing all this he wanted to call her Mother or not. He pulled over the car.
" Are you sure, brother? We can try something else. " Danil asked.
He put the sun glasses, " I don't give a f*** Let's break the suspense. " He said in a commanding voice.
He sighed heavily as he was holding his breath. Danil followed his steps as Paul pressed the button of the intercom. He noticed cameras on the entrance. He wanted to kick the door open. After a while, the door creaked open, emerging a lady figure from inside. He staggered back watching his mother with a smile, standing on the threshold. He was frightened to lose his temper and kill some innocent souls with his bare hands strangling their neck. He fished out his phone and glared at his wife's picture on his phone's wallpaper. He was neutralizing his breaths while looking at Rose's picture. He allowed Danil to talk to her as he wasn't ready for this undesirable but desirable matter. He squinted at his mother.
' It's she, my mother. She kept herself away from me and me away from her. How could she do this to me? I was dying to her to be in the position where my stepmother is right now, together with my father. Perhaps, the first and last time I was wrong in my life. " He fought with his thoughts.
He glared at her green emerald eyes. He had heard from every person who knew her mother that he had his mother's eyes. They were right, the same as her eyes. His hand was in his pocket and fisted. He was struggling with his hand to travel his holster.
" Brother! ' Danil said.
He was looking lost somewhere else.
" Brother, " Danil shook his shoulder with a firm grip on it, " Let's go. He's in his office. " He said.
He glared at Danil and back at the door. She was gone. He inhaled deeply and sauntered back toward his car.
" You okay? " Danil asked.
" Don't say anything. " He said, getting in the driver seat. He needed much time to clear his thoughts. He could not let it effect him. He had responsibilities.
Enemies have ambushed to attack him. He can't get low or slacken just because she didn't choose to take care of her son, and didn't want him to be part of her life. She made the right decisions. Choosing her happiness. I'm glad she's happy. She has every right to choose happiness. Why would anyone like to spend such a life where you are not getting an inch of joy? Will my interference affect her life? He thought.
" Did you set Lorenzo free? " He asked, breaking the silence.
" Yes, as you said he is under our protection now. " Danil said and stared at his brother. He looked out at the door, " Ain't we going to his office? " He asked.
" Leave it for now. " He said.
" You don't wanna let her know you're her son or you don't wanna spoil her happiness. " Danil said.
" Both, " he quickly glanced at Danil.
" We are brothers. I know you very well. More important, your girl has made your heartbeat in your chest. " Danil chuckled and threw his one hand in the air.
He smiled, returning his eyes to the road. He wanted to know Lamberto was planning a ruse and deceitful action before his birth, " We have to find Lamberto and Hebrew before they do something which ends up hurting someone physically. " He said.
" We are fearless." Danil said.
" It's not about fear, consternation. Rose is not capable of facing all this. In forty days of our wedding, she had injured her many times. "
" You should teach her self defense and how to use the gun? "
" Put the gun on the table and watch her facial gesture. " He clenched his jaw.
" You should see her in the morning when she finds the crabs alive. " He chuckled.
He cursed under his breath to forget in his tense that she hated it.
" Did Lorenzo tell anything about the whereabouts of them? "He asked.
" He did. But we got nothing. "
He can't hide himself from me. I will haul him out of hell if he can conceal him in hell. He thought.

He was tense about his wife's security as she loved freedom. Trouble found her easily. His step mother had been Mafia Queen in her young age. She could fight if something unwanted happened. He thought to train her with at least a punch and some kicks.
