1305 Words
EMIR'S POV
"Hope?" I called her attention, we are now driving back home with Henry who is driving.
"Hmm?" She responded.
"I want to know where Nicolo is," I told her, I'm pretty sure she knows where he is, of course.
"What makes you think that I will tell you?" She retorted bluntly.
"You ruined his life already Emir, aren't you done yet?" She added.
"I'm not, as long as I know that he is still breathing."
"You're crazy. How could you do that? He's not doing anything against you," She huffed, shaking her head unbelievably, and turned to look at outside the window,
"Really?" I slyly whispered.
My eyes fall on her hand that is resting above her thigh, I can't remember when we used to hold hands like a normal couple does, anytime and anywhere.
I stretched my arm to reach her hand but she stubbornly shoved it.
"Emir, can we stop by the chicken stall? I feel like craving it." She suddenly utters like a child.
"No, asked me for your cravings when you get pregnant." I retorted.
"I don't think that's gonna happen so don't assume."
"Really? We'll see that," I said with a sly smirk.
"I'll ask Karen to prepare different kinds of chicken dishes later because I'm pretty sure that you will crave for it after what's going to happen tonight," I said mocking at my wife who blushed because of embarrassment.
We heard Henry chuckled softly.
"Aren't you ashamed?" Hope whispered with a scowled face.
"Why would I?"
She turned her back again and continued looking outside. I just smiled with her not so sweet gestures towards me, I have a feeling that one of these days she will completely surrender to me and give me my heir.
The next moment was followed by an ultimate silence, we almost reached the mansion when Henry noticed a vehicle following behind us.
We turned to look at the vehicle behind us,
'Why does this car look so familiar?' I thought.
Until we arrived at the mansion and Henry stopped the car, but just when Hope and I stepped out of the car, someone screamed my name.
"Emir!" It was Ariane stepping out from the vehicle that was following us earlier, everyone turned to look at her including my wife. Her face is cold, looking at the woman entering the gate.
I gesture to Henry to get Ariane while I quickly pulled Hope inside the mansion.
"Get off me!" She angrily said trying to get herself out of my hold.
"What is she doing here!?" She asked but I only ignored her.
"Emir! You can't do this to me!" I heard Ariane cried out again, but I only kept on pulling Hope, until we got inside the house and I released her.
"You're a liar! I hate you! How dare you! I hate you, Emir!" She hissed between her weak punches on my chest, as she cried hysterically.
"Stop it!" I said and grabbed both wrists.
"I hate you," she said again with her eyes full of hatred looking straight into mine.
My jaw clenched in the sight of my raging wife, I can't believe that I am seeing this pair of eyes again, the eyes that always make my whole being shattered into pieces.
"Go to your room," I ordered, but she didn't obey and just kept on staring at me with her furious eyes.
I harshly pulled her arm again instead and pushed her inside her room and locked it, I heard her loud cries but remained tough not to diminish by her and get inside the room.
"It's time, I need to save my relationship with her and I won't let anyone destroy it," I whisper to myself and take out the magical watch from the very bottom drawer of my closet.
"I need your help," I whispered and wore it before I got out of the room.
When I walk through the hallway, I still can hear my wife but just ignore it and walk straight to the outside.
"Sir, I brought Miss Ariane in the basement. She said that she has something to tell you," Henry informed me, but still I ignored him.
"Get the car, the one we use earlier."
"Right away sir,"
Immediately, Henry came back driving the car and I went inside on the same spot.
"Drive back to the hospital," I said.
"Sir?"
"Are you deaf?" I bluntly retorted, and he quickly started the engine.
"But sir, what about Miss Ariane?"
"Will you shut your mouth, Henry!?" I irritatedly said.
I closed my eyes trying to remember everything, thinking how I badly wanted to take her hand and intertwined our fingers a while ago but she is so stubborn and shovels mine away.
"Emir, can we stop by at the chicken stall? I feel like craving it." I heard Hope's voice and that when I opened my eyes and looked at her, her eyes were gentle so far from the way she looked at me a while ago.
"Hey!" She wakes me up,
"Honey, do you want to see your father and John?" I asked her to take her away from the scene that is about to happen.
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Why? Don't you want to see them?"
"No, of course, I do! Thank you," she said and I was surprised when she held my hand, squeezing it tightly As she rejoiced with what I had said.
I just held her head with my other hand and pulled her, kissing her on the forehead, she smiled.
"Henry pulled over," I said and slowly he halts the car.
"Come down, I'll drive," I said and open the door as well to get out.
"Take a cab with Hope and make sure she is safe," I seriously commanded and helped my wife get out of the car.
"Wait, aren't you coming with me? Where are you going?" Hope asked,
"No sweetie, Henry will accompany you for the moment, I'll just have some work to do," I told her and caressed her face with my hand.
"I promise, I will follow you there once I'm done," I said and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Is there something wrong?" She suddenly asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"No, my love. Don't worry about it, okay?" She nodded for an answer.
"Good."
"Make sure she is safe," I said when I turned to Henry.
"Yes sir,"
And with that I drive the car back to the mansion, I am supposed to call Alfred but suddenly change my mind when I thought about what Henry said that there might be a spy around us.
I am getting closer to the mansion and just a few minutes the car showed up behind me, I stopped and so is the vehicle behind.
I stepped out and went to the car then slam it, Ariane come out,
"Emir, I'm sorry." She uttered but I abruptly pulled her and pushed her inside my car.
"I thought you were with your wife?" She suddenly asserted.
"So you know I was with her? You told you!?" I asked fiercely, holding her arm tightly.
"Ouch! Emir! Come on! You're like a royal couple, how could you hide your privacy? Of course, everyone knows about it the moment you step your foot on any ground." She irritatedly cried while I was so furious and disgusted looking at her. I really felt regret letting this woman enter my life.
"But you know what? I don't care, because soon, I'll be the mother of your future heir." She said and slyly smirked, I was breathing heavily and I don't care even if she is pregnant as I forcefully pushed her inside the car.
I put shackles on her wrist before I turned to the driver's seat.
