Chapter Fourteen

Eveleen
I was sitting in the plane. My eyes were fixed at the door. I was fidgeting on my seat. I was waiting for there's arrival curiously . I glanced at the display of my phone, no message and no call was on it. They'll be fine, I was recalling it in my mind. I was distracting myself but it wasn't helping me a bit. I throw the phone aside. I was cracking my knuckles and lost outside the small window.
" Evie! "
I lifted my head from my lost view to the voice.
" Rose! Mini! " I exclaimed. I got up from my seat. I rushed at them and embraced them. " What did you take so long? Are you both alrighty? " I asked. They wrapped their arms around me.
" Thanks to jiju.." Mini smirked.
I pulled back, " I'm glad you both are safe. I was so worried about you. I'm sorry, I couldn't come to take you. " Tears were pricking in my eyes to come out.
" I'm sorry, I shouted at you last time. " Rose gloomily said and hugged me again.
" Hey! we're friends. It's totally fine. I don't even remember that. " I said, hugging her back. That was true. I missed them. In college. I was thinking they don't want to see me.
" Yeah, we're. " she whispered and nodded. She was looking lost. She wasn't looking at herself anymore. Her eyes were swollen, sadness had covered her face.
" You both are safe here. He can't harm you now. " I said in assurance.
" Thanks Evie. " Mini hugged me and Rose tightly again.
" We're still the same. Stop treating me like a stranger with your thanks and sorry." I said, breaking the hug.
They smiled at me but it didn't reach their hearts. I would definitely talk to them. Perhaps it wasn't the right time. They need some time to get over from this suffering.
" You should rest. " I beckoned toward the seats. They were sounding weird, better I shouldn't push it. I should give them time and space. I glanced at there's back, " Where's he? " I asked worriedly.
" Jiju? " Mini asked.
" Yes. " I said.
" He sent us with his men. He didn't come with us." Mini replied.
" What's your mean ? " I asked worriedly. My heart was beating faster. I was feeling anxious. Was he alright? What if he hurted him? Why didn't he come yet? wasn't he supposed to come with them. He promised me ' Within Two hours' wasn't it for him? I nodded at Mini. She walked with Rose.
I turned toward Thomas, " Thomas! " I shouted his name.
" What's wrong? " he immediately replied, Craning his neck from his seat.
I walked toward him, " He didn't come with them. " I said with jittery.
" Who? " he raised his brows.
" Your brother! you dumb! " I sarcastically replied and hit him on his arm.
" Ouch… " He dramatically said, " He'll come. Don't worry. " He waved his hand.
I glared at him angrily and rested my hand on my waist.
" Alright," He paced toward the door. He talked to the man, who came with Rose and Min. I turned and saw them sitting on the seats. Mini was talking to me but my full attention was on eavesdropping Thomas. I was distraught. I was feeling pulses throbbing in my hands. My heart was sinking and beating faster than required.
" He's on his way. He'd be here at any time." he assured me.
" Sure....? " I bit my lips, still not believing it.
" Dame sure." he placed his hands on my shoulders.
I scrunched my lips and nodded. My eyes were fixated on the entrance. It had been thirty minutes since they arrived. Yes, I was counting time. Should I call him? I picked my phone up and hit call on his number. It was ringing. I could hear it out. Was someone else's phone ringing? I raised my eyes. He was standing on the entrance and staring at his phone and a cute smile was on his face.
" Duante..." I got up from my seat and ran at him. I jumped in his arms, wrapping my arms around his neck. He immediately caught me in his arms and engulfed me tightly. I was hanging in his arms.
" What did you take so long? You were also a member of ' Two hours' promise. I was concerned about you. Are you hurt? Did you fight with them? " I asked him. When I felt everyone 's gaze on us. Oops! perhaps I was shouting.
He backed his head a bit and put his finger on my lips, " No more questions. I'm not hurt." he said, removing his finger.
I blinked twice and pecked on his cheek, " Thank you for keeping your words to me and bringing them to me safely. " I smiled.
He was looking surprised. He failed to conceal it. He locked his eyes with my eyes for several minutes and I wanted to throw away the key. I shouldn't kiss him.
" Brother..." Thomas started.
He blinked his eyes. Then he put me down on my feet. I was careful to watch my steps. When he was sure my weight was on my feet. He removed his arms around me.
" Ask the pilot to take off. " he ordered,
He didn't say a word to me nor look at me. Was he upset with me? I didn't go against his orders. Everyone is behaving so weird today, first Rose and Mini and now my husband,
--------
We were on our way to his home, mexico. I never thought to be here, not even in my dreams. Who dreamt to be Mafia's wife. Rose and Mini were coming with Thomas in the second car behind us. As usual, my husband was busy with his girlfriend, Miss. Laptop. Why didn't he marry with his laptop?
" You're glaring. " he said to me.
How does he know? Is there a camera in his car? I darted my eyes around on the roof and corners of the car. I didn't find any one.
" It's my right. I can glare at you. If you don't like it, I can find someone new for my stares. '' I said, crossing my legs. I like to irritate him.
Shi*! I shouldn't say it to him. But I had already thrown a stone in the pond. He wasn't husband like others. In fact, no husband would tolerate it.
He shut his laptop with a heavy thud and frowned at me.
" Yeah sure! You're right. Tell me my rights, " he said in a heavy voice with anger.
I bit my bottom lip and moved my gaze from him.
" We're home. " I heard Thomas saying it out loud.
His man opened the door for us. I wanted to get away from him. I shouldn't mess with him on this topic. I fastly moved my feet to touch the ground. He held me from my arm and tugged me at him.
" You have all rights, staring, holding, touching, kissing and s**. " he paused, " But I'm not giving you the right to do all this to someone else. Do you get your husband?" he annoyed, looking in my eyes.
My cheeks were on heat, " Yes." I mumbled.
He removed his hand from my arm and let me go. I rushed out of the car.
It was a huge garden with tall trees standing proudly in a queue along the gigantic wall and the grass ground was welcoming us. It was looking like a massive and beautiful mansion from outside. Duante was walking two steps away from me. The Gargantuan door was opened for us and a massive hall was greeting us. Dark brown and expensive furniture was laying in the hall and a red couch set was visible around the table and expensive decoration.
Rose and Mini were walking ahead me and my husband along me now. Rose stumbled over the carpet.
"Careful!! You're pregnant. You should watch your steps and what are you doing in heels? " Mini caught her arm and shouted in anger.
I froze on my ground. What did I hear, it couldn't be real. She couldn't be pregnant. She wasn't married. I knew her, she wouldn't allow any boy in her bed before marriage. She was with him, my kidnapper had kidnapped her some days ago. Mini told me the tragedy she went through last week. He kidnapped Rose, took her away from us. My heart started to beat faster. I was feeling dread crawling inside me. He could do anything. His thought always made me doleful and dread. I hurried my steps toward her.
" What's your mean, pregnant? She ain't married. " I snapped.
" She's kidding. " Rose said, her eyes weren't standing with her in this lie.
Her face was screaming, she was lying.
" My tongue slips, you know. " Mini tried to confess to me with her fake smile.
" You both are behaving weird. You must be happy that you didn't marry that beast. But you aren't. What are you hiding so desperately? " I asked in frustration.
My mind was jumping on the guesses. Did he um..? I was fearing to complete it
" I'm tired." Rose said, breaking my thoughts.
" I'll show you your room ." Thomas said, offering his hand to her, which she took and made her way with him to her room.
I was looking at her, watching her to go, in shock. I felt a chill creep down my body.
" What the heck are you disguising from me? " I almost shouted at Mini, attracting my husband's attention.
" He.. . um " she paused and started to cry.
Her tears were giving me proof that my doubt wasn't under suspicion anymore. I staggered, I felt a strong hand behind my back to hold me. Tears started to fall down my eyes.
" You should go. " I heard him saying to Mini. She rushed away crying. He zagged me to face him. I felt my legs and hands shivering.
" Y.. ou kn.. ow t.. .. hi.. sss.." I stumbled , my voice was shivering.
He pulled me close to his chest and didn't say a word. I sobbed like a child in his arms.

Duante's POV
Her head was on my chest and she was weeping hard. She was shivering with fear. I had seen this fear when she was surrounded by his men and him, second when he was in the club's parking lot in front of her. I felt it today too. It was hurting to see her like this. I wanted to give her the entire world's happiness.
I didn't feel a heart inside me, today I'm perceiving her pain in this fuc**** heart.
I cupped her face, " No more tears. " I demanded.
" I'm trying but it's hurting to think she went through. " she replied between her sobs.
I filled a glass with water for her, she drank it completely. I hugged her from one side on the bed, " Close your eyes and try to sleep. You haven't any need to be disquiet and dread. Your friends are secure here. " I said.
Sh** I should kill that bastard But I didn't want it easy for him.
She nodded her head. Her eyes were getting heavy and she closed them.
We were under the same blanket. She was sleeping, resting her head on my chest and tightly holding my hand as someone would take her away. I'd never let this happen, not even in her dreams.
My phone quivered in the nightstand. I hoisted it to my ear, hitting the accept option.
She needs me right now most, I thought.
" Talk to you in the morning. " I said slowly to Tann and disconnected it.
I looked down at her. There were tear's track on her face. Her eyes were puffy. I kissed on the top of her head, wrapping my second hand around her waist and closed my eyes.
I had met many girls. I hadn't any feelings and emotions for them. I never felt what love is? My slim beautiful wife made me to feel every fuc**** feeling related to Love. She has been the love of my life. It was the last time she shed tears for anything. I'd not allow her to torture herself like this ever again. She's mine and I'm fuc**** dying to claim her body. I don't want it forcefully. I want mutual feeling, the same I'm feeling for her every fuc**** second. It astounded me. I'm the first and the only man in her life.
I felt something wet on my chest. I flicked open my eyes and found.....!?
