Chapter Fifty Four

Her face was resting on the table above the palms on her hands. Eyes were blinking at the main entrance of the mansion. Tick tock of clock was creating music in silence for her, showing ten minutes past one o'clock. Night had fallen all around. Her mother in law insisted her to not wait for so long but she refused. She was slackening from waiting.
" You should go to your bed. " She said breaking the quiet slowly.
On the other end of the table. Vanessa was active sitting on the chair. Her owl eyes were gawking the hall and looking for anything which could harm her.
" I'll ma'am. When you'll be around the Boss. " She said. Her voice was screaming that she wasn't sleepy at all.
She didn't argue with her. Sleeping was threatening to come over her and making the door shut off from the view. She sighted, making her chest rise. She was blinking more than usual. He changed the security which was patrolling out in the lawn, inside the house and roof. He didn't show himself. She waited for his call or text the whole day. She was glad when she woke up in the morning. Wrapped his shirt around her body was still making her cheeks flushed and heat rose inside her. She clinched her palms under her head. She could feel her finger's bonus digging in her scalp.
He should be more loving after our love making. Result was not as expected. Does he want my submission? I'm his stubbornness. Once got, now don't need to look at it, she thought and shook the negativity immediately.
Closing her eyes, she raised her inner voice.' It can't be. ' The voice came from inside her. Her eyes shut with the heaviness of sleep laid on her eyelashes. She was fully irritated with the endless waiting.
Abruptly, she felt her body lifted in the air under familiar touch and her nostril filled with his cologne. His fingers' touch on her arms was making her feel safe. She opened her eyes in hope of catching his face.
" Where have you been Mr. Husband, the whole day? " She said, clenching her teeth and pursing her lips.
" I have business to do, babe. " He laid her on the bed, with a quick kiss on her cheek, he got the cupboard door. Plucking his night wear, he went for the shower. She threw her legs on the floor and carried herself to the cupboard. She removed her Black white daisy floral long shirt and donned in shorts. She paced back to bed. Almost drained, she sat on it. Throwing her head on the pillow, she glared at the washroom door. Why did he come so late today? Why didn't he call? Questions were hovering over her sleep head. She could hear water running. She closed her eyes again. She was getting peace in this sound of water. When water stopped running. She snapped open her eyes. After the waiting of two long minutes, the door opened, emerging the most awaited person in her life in white towel, drops of water running through his hair. She could see streaks of it on his strong v body. She smiled.
Why was I waiting for him, she puzzled herself. Her sleep was gone far.
She felt his hot gaze on her. Her lips curled in a big smile. Sighing heavily, she shut her eyes, shaking off her thoughts. She felt her body lifted again and rested on his curved muscles. She ran her hand on his well made surface and it fell on the soft fabric of bed. She swirled her head to see and got his eyes drilled on her with a smile on his lips. She was lying on him. His body should be cold but it was hot she was feeling beneath her body.
" What did you do the whole day? " He asked.
" My eyes waited to see you the entire day, ears wanted to hear you. " She said smilingly.
He pulled her chin upward toward him, resting on it his thumb and two fingers. " You look tired, babe? " He asked.
She knew what was going to come, " I'm fine." She shook her head and blushed like red color was seeping from her cheeks.
She ran her hand next to her on the mattress. It was cold and meant he was long gone. Worse feeling clawed her not getting him next to her. She kicked out the white sheet from her body. She was wearing his white t-shirt, extra large on her body. She didn't wear it last night, she remembered. Reluctantly, she walked at the washroom. She cleaned up leisurely.
She was looking off. Vanessa was never leaving her. Her duty started with the first ray of sun. She pretended as if Vanessa wasn't part of her world. She didn't see Kairo and Danil. Her mother and father in laws were also not in the city. They were attending a marriage which was going to last for nearly a week with parties after and before the wedding.
She filled the glass with water and donned it on her dried throat.
" You didn't eat last night.." Voice came from behind, making her wince. She spun suddenly, glass fell front her grip
Her heart rate increased unnecessarily. He caught the glass before it hit the floor. But he could not stop the sudden wave in the water filled in the glass and it spilled out.
" So what? " She frowned, taking glass back from his hand and finished the water in it.
He whirled her, catching her upper arm. " Rose, you can't skip your meal like this. You have to stop waiting for me. " She could see his jaw got tightened.
" Or wait for someone else. " She frowned.
" What did you say? " He gripped her by her waist and pushed her body at him, " Watch your tongue, Rose. I know you didn't mean it, otherwise you'll...... " He trailed, pulling her roughly over the glass table.
She gulped hard. Knowing, she had pissed him badly with wrong words and slippery tongue. She repented, but no use now. " I'm sorry." She said, remorsing over her slippery words.
" Good morning, Breakfast!" Danil said, coming into the dining room.
" Make sure. She doesn't get up from her bed without eating and for now, out of this room. " He said angrily and walked toward the door.
" Yes, Sir. " She heard Vanessa in the background with little delay when she understood her mumble.
" I'm not eating without you. " She said loudly.
He stopped. She saw his hands curled into fists. He turned with a wounded face from her words, " Have your breakfast Rose and go to your room. " He hushed, glaring at her.
" I'm not eating without you. " She repeated herself.
" Enough! " He tried to be calm but it was almost a shout to make her shiver.
Her heart was palpitating. " I'm not eating. Do what you want to do. " She said and rushed toward the stairs.
Her wrist was caught in his firm hold,
" Brother, you'll hurt her. " She heard Kairo.
His gaze turned behind her, " Meet me in the office. " He said to them. " And you, Eat you breakfast. " He tugged her toward the table. She let him push her. He forced her to sit. Danil and Kairo were giving an astonished look to her but didn't dare to stare at his brother who was boiling with rage. She was also surprised to see as he never behaved like this to her.
Her own anger was increasing. She knew she shouldn't say so. But she loved him. She didn't find it wrong to wait for him and eat with him. He remained busy the whole day. Was it too much? " I said, I'm not eating. " She said with anger.
" Stop being stubborn like a kid, " He roughly asked her, gripping his chin between his fingers.
" Is my body all that you wanted? " She snapped, getting up from the chair, " All sweetness gone. Ready to crush me. Look at you! Real Mafia Boss. " She snapped again. " I said sorry. If I'll not wait for you. For whom do you want me to do? " She sobbed.
" Rose, " Danil started but he halted him with a cold bitter stare.
" Eat you food. " He said again,
" I'll not eat. If you'll force me. I'll spit out. " She said, tears trailed down her cheeks.
She rushed at the stairs. Vanessa followed her, " Don't you dare to follow me. " She hit the antic piece from the long small table beside the stairs. It hit the floor, breaking into small several pieces, She felt Vanessa following her again, " I said don't follow me, you bloody spoon of your Boss. " She couldn't keep away her sobbing taste on her tongue.
Getting back in the room, she plopped on the bed, face buried in the pillow. She sobbed, the voice of her sobs could be heard out of the door.
" Rose, " She heard Danil. She didn't stir and peeped to look at him. She could feel him around but didn't lift her head. She felt a small tugged on her arm which made her sit on the bed. She didn't raise her eyes. The Voices of her sobs were echoing in the room.
She felt a hand to wipe her tears, " You are a brave girl, more than me and Danil. " Kairo mocked.
" I'm stupid, " She said hiccuping.
Danil was holding pasta in the plate, " You need energy to carry on your fight with him. " He beckoned with his eyes at the door to tell him where he was standing.
" Brother, cooked it for you. " Kairo whispered.
" Liar, " She whispered with a surprised look.
" No, he didn't. " Danil confirmed.
Her mouth gaped. Danil got up. He towered over her and sat next to her on the mattress. She sneaked a small glance on him. He was staring at her. Danil gave him the plate. He brought the fork up. When she didn't eat. He put the fork in his mouth, " It's not that bad. " He smiled.
She couldn't get upset with him any longer. He brought the fork to her mouth again. She took it this time. Swallowing it, " Let's eat together. '' She said, walking toward the door. She was expecting an apology. She felt his hand slipping on her waist. " At least, say it. You'll not do it again. " She rumpled her lips.
" You can't skip your meal. You are not waiting for me too long. " He said expressionless.
" I don't wanna talk about it. " She folded her arms.
" That's final." He kissed her temple.
She was determined not to hear him. She wanted to be with him, and spent time with him.
" After breakfast, You've an appointment with the doctor today. Danil will be with you. " He said.
She astounded and looked at him from the corner of her eyes, " I'm fine. I don't wanna go. " She said.
" Don't pick a fight again. " It startled her.
" Fight! Excuse me. " She directly stared at him.
" I don't like to repeat myself. As you are ready. You can go now. " He rudely said.
" I'm not going. " she said and stood up to leave.
" Not again. " She heard Kairo.
Her wrist was caught and pulled back, " You're going, Okay babe. " She felt stealness in his words which she couldn't resist.
" I hate you. " She angrily said.
" Okay. " He replied.
She glared at him and contorted her lips.

She was feeling a surge of anger. Liam's attitude had perplexed her. She was rubbing her wrist. It was still paining where he gripped. " Business is troubling him. He's bothered about your security. " Danil said.
" And why this? " She gazed out of the window.
" You'll know soon. " Danil said, " By the way, Isha told me Yes. " He smirked.
" Really! Woo! Is she coming here? I'm happy for you. " She got excited.
" No, I proposed to her before leaving. " Danil said, tugging a huge smile.
Her thoughts occupied. ' Sometimes I think of her all saying actual instead of push. ' She lost in her thoughts.
" You were with Liam and Isha didn't get an opportunity to tell you. You'll not mind it right. " He said, getting her puzzlement.
" Oh! Yeah, I'm ok with it. " She smiled. She gazed out of the window.
' life and people both have changed a lot. '
