The Devil's Rebirth

CHAPTER 24. Arrogant Boss

Emir's Point of view

"Hope what happened?" Suddenly John asks Hope, blocking her way in.

"Nothing," she responded coldly and walked past him.

I deeply sighed and turned my heels back to my car.

"Emir! Where are you going?" John cried while running in my direction.

"I'm going back to the mansion,"

"Are you leaving Hope here?" He asked with so much concern in his voice.

"Take care of your sister, I'll pick her up once she's not mad at me anymore. Besides, I have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to babysit your stubborn sister." I told him.

Though it is against what I want, which is to keep her beside me, I need to be patient with my wife to avoid bigger damage in our relationship.

"Yeah you're right, I don't understand why she married you and then acted so cranky, you are her husband and you even did incredible things for our family, she's really unbelievable." He commented but I stayed quiet since he doesn't know what really happened between me and his sister.

"Thank you for your support John but just let her be, we'll be fine," I told him with a forced smile and tap his shoulder.

"I have to go, brother, please keep me updated about your sister," I added.

"Don't worry about her," he assured me.

And with that, I nodded and continued my pace to get inside my car and started the engine.

I have lots of things to attend to, firstly is Ariane, I still don't have any plan about what to do to the child she is carrying. I can't accept that bastard in my life, I need to get rid of that child before Hope learns about it.

And there's Nicolo, if Hope is telling the truth then why did she escape with him that night, what intention does he have towards my wife.

I called Henry to assign some security around Hope and told him about what happened earlier and that Nicolo showed up again.

"Sir, where is Miss Hope? I thought you're coming home with her?" Karen asked when I stepped inside the mansion.

"Are you blind not to see that she is not around? And who are you to ask me anything?" I responded nastily,

"I'm sorry sir," she apologized as her head bent down.

"Sir, do you want me to serve your dinner already?" She added.

"Have you seen me taking meals without my wife?" I annoyingly retorted.

"Stupid!" I huffed, as I continued my steps upstairs towards my room.

I felt irritated and regretted that I should have brought Hope back home with me instead of leaving her there. I just thought it might be a good idea at the time and that leaving her with her family could help her soothe at the moment after she gets mad at me. I sighed.

When I get inside my room I open my hidden storage and take a bottle of whiskey out then pour my shot glass.

I sat on my bed with the glass in my hand while staring at my wrist with the magic watch, thinking of aside from saving my relationship with Hope, what other things I can manipulate using this kind of power.

I suddenly smirked wickedly when I thought of something and gulped the liquor then poured more.

I also wonder about the old man who gave it to me and why he is gone suddenly after giving it to me even though I came back in time.

After a few more shots I decided to take a shower and put my pajamas on and laid on the bed.

I don't know for how long I rolled on the bed but the sleep seemed to be acting tough towards me and so I opened the drawer beside me and took out a bottle of pills that could help me sleep. I took one and closed my eyes.

But just after a few hours the effect of the pill vanished and I woke up when I felt heavy in my right arm, and when I turned my head I saw my angel sleeping peacefully with her head pillowing my arm. I smiled,

"Sweetheart?" I whispered but she didn't give any response while snoring softly

"I love you," I whispered again and kissed her on the forehead.

I pulled her closer to my body and embraced her tightly, that's when I came back to my wonderful slumber beside my angel.

I have no idea how did she end up beside me, but however it is, it doesn't matter for as long I have her with me,

I woke up when I felt the bed move and saw my wife getting up from the bed, but before she was able to take a step I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to lay down on the bed, she gasped.

I put my weight above her and pinned both hands above her head as she keeps on resisting weakly.

"Good morning my angel," I whispered with a smile.

"Get up! I can't breathe!" She hissed, but I only chuckled.

"Come on, you never mentioned that I'm heavy every time we made love." I mocked her and she blushed.

"Just get up already!" She keeps on resisting.

"Kiss me first," I ordered.

"No!" She quickly retorted.

"Fine," I said and pressed my lips on her. I didn't move and opened my eyes to look at her, whose eyes were closed tightly while our lips are still connected. I didn't move yet, waiting for her initiative, but she still didn't move.

I caressed my tongue slowly teasing her as I wet her lips and that's when she moans softly and starts to move her lips slowly against mine.

After a few seconds, I released her wrist and pushed my body above her using my hands.

"Why did you leave without me?" She asked looking up at me.

"I thought you want to take some time away from me?" I told her looking straight into her eyes.

But she only sighed and pushed me aside to get up from the bed.

I watch her as she went out of the room,

'Did I do something wrong again?' I sighed asking myself.

I grabbed my phone on the bedside table and saw nine missed calls from my wife last night, I just ignored it since she's home already and went to the bathroom.

After I changed my clothes I went out of the room as well but was surprised when I saw Henry getting out from the guest room.

"Good morning sir," he greeted me, still rubbing his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows,

"Ah sir, Miss Hope called me at twon in the morning to pick her up and bring her here," he informed me as he scratches his head, looking down.

"What?"

"She said that you're not answering your phone, that's why she called me and offered me this room to spend the night."

I continued my pace leaving him and went out to the balcony, I looked down trying to find her around her farm of vegetables, but she's nowhere.

'She is supposed to be there,' I thought getting back inside and went downstairs,

I heard laughter from the dining room and went straight there. I saw my wife laughing with Henry while she was serving food on the table and Henry sitting comfortably.

"Hey!" I cried.

"Why are you laughing with my wife? And why are you sitting there?" I asked looking at Henry with a scowled face but Hope nudged me with her boney elbow.

"Why are you so rude?" She whispered and glared at me.

"I'm not being rude honey, I am paying him to work for me 24/7 and not to join here and laugh with you," I told her coldly.

"I'm sorry sir," Henry mumbled and about to stand but my wife stop him,

"No, just stay Henry." She said and turned to me,

"You're really unbelievable Emir, could you please stop being so arrogant?" She calmly said and pointed her finger to my seat, gesturing for me to sit down already.

Henry seems like he's lost his appetite after my approach. But honestly, I don't care if Henry will be comfortable and slouch around, it's just that I can't stand when he makes Hope chortle with him because I never made her laugh that way ever.

"Excuse me," Henry stand up,

"Are you done?" Hope quickly asked.

"Yes Miss Hope, thank you so much for the food,"

"Henry, I have work for you today, check your email," I told him and excuse himself again before he leaves.

"Emir, did you ever say thank you to Henry after doing all your demands?" Hope suddenly asked,

"I don't have to thank him, I am paying him more than enough to do all the errands I asked him to do," I responded while munching the pancakes that I'm sure were made by my wife.

But she only sighed and continued her food.
