The Devil's Rebirth

CHAPTER 7. Devil's Mistress

EMIR'S POV

"Emir please stop!" She pleads, when my sight gets dark and almost kills the three people in front of me.

We are in the basement of the house where I am performing my punishment, they did not do their job correctly which causes my wife to get hurt.

"See what you have made me do darling?" I said wickedly, turning to walk closer to my wife who is begging for someone else's life.

"It wasn't their fault, it's mine. Please, leave them alone." She pleads again, sobbing.

"Of course, it is always your fault. You are very difficult to control, why can't you just obey my orders? And look, you are very adventurous this time, you even get yourself almost killed. Why? Do you think dying is better than being around me?" I inquired with an implacable expression.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered as her body dropped under my feet.

"Don't be darling, look you are the one who gets hurt. They wounded your precious skin, my love," I said, crouching down and kissing her shoulder with the bandage gently.

"Don't worry, I let them feel your pain as well," I said and peck her on the lips before getting up.

"Henry, get her out of here. Make sure she will not do anything stupid again." I ordered and turned to face the three again.

"Please Emir, stop." She keeps on pleading.

"Henry! I said, get her out!" I shouted before they carried my wife forcefully out of the disgusting scene.

"No!" She cried.

"Now let see, you said, you were trying to stop my wife from hurting herself. You said, she was struggling so she accidentally pierced the glass on her shoulder, am I right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Okay, let see. Get a hold of this and point it to your neck like how Hope did. Come on," I ordered cruelly while his body is shaking.

"But sir, I. I'm just stopping her from leaving. La. Like you ordered. But she's very hard to handle, she is very defiant, she even broke the window and tried to get out of there." He explained, the sweat of fear rolling down his body while the other is quiet waiting for their turn.

"So you are telling me that it is my fault?" I asked looking down at him when my personal guard received a call and handed me the phone.

"Speak" I command.

"Sir, Ms. Hope is threatening herself again." He said.

"What?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows and my chest started throbbing fast.

"She is…" I didn't finish listening to his explanation and got out of the place already.

When I got inside the room where they brought Hope, I was shocked to see her pointing a gun to her head while crying. While Henry is nervously looking at her and doesn't know what to do.

"Get out and lock the door," I ordered Henry.

Slowly, Hope dropped down her hand with the gun and slumped herself on the floor. I quickly got the gun and crouched in front of her.

"What are you trying to do now?" I asked calmly but with my jaw clenched. Trying to prevent my beast side from getting out. But I gasped and suddenly my heart stopped beating when she hugged me. Hope wrapped her arms around my body tightly while she sobs in my chest.

"Emir, I know you are not going out of the country." She whispered.

"I know you're mad at me." She continues,

"But please, don't go to her." Shocked and fear raised my system.

'How did she know?' I asked myself. She looked up to me, staring intently through my eyes.

"Do you love me?" For the first time, she asked, with tears rolling down her face.

"You know I always do, I love you," I answered.

"Did you also tell her the same thing?" She asked again, I looked at her eyes like there was something that I didn't see before or I didn't just notice it?

'Is she jealous?' I thought, looking between her eyes trying to figure it out. But she suddenly pushed me away, breaking her embrace.

"I hate you! You keep on accusing me of cheating when it's you! You're a liar! You never loved me!" She hysterically announced.

"Why did you force me to marry you? What do you want from me?" My heart broke with the sight of my wife, I suddenly noticed her body became weaker than before. I don't know what I did wrong. Is my care wasn't enough? But I gave her everything she needed.

My thoughts were cut off when I felt her slender hands holding mine.

"Emir, I'm so tired, please let me go." She pleads again, I swallowed the lumps on my throat, looking at my wife.

"You know I can't," I answered.

"Why?"

"You have to rest now," I said, leading her to the bed. I laid her body carefully and covered her.

"Let them go." She begged again.

"Do not interfere in my business sweetie," I told her.

As I was about to stand up, she grabbed my arm.

"Are you still leaving? Are you going to her?"

"You don't know what you are saying." I reasoned.

"Do you love her?" She asked again.

"You are my wife, I will never love someone else more than you. Stop that nonsense."

"Don't leave, stay with me, please." Also for the first time, she asked me to stay.

I stood up and turned to the other side of the bed and laid beside her, I wrapped my arms around her. She snuggles herself, compressing her body, finding warmth in me. This behavior of hers was new to me, my wife needs me.

"I love you, Hope," I whispered and she snuggles more, but I got no answer from her and again, I felt defeated.

After almost an hour, I felt her breathing get steady, a sign that she is sleeping. I slowly release her body and cover her up. I caress her face gently and kiss her forehead before I leave.

"Release them, you know what to do," I told Henry, who's waiting in the living room when I get out.

"What about your wife sir?" He asked, worried.

"I'll be right back. Hire someone in to replace Laura and the others and ask Jessica to send an apology to our client in Hong Kong." I ordered and left already.

"But sir, they might cancel the deal."

"I don't care, just do it."

I ride my car fast to reach Ariane's apartment.

"Why so early handsome? Can't you wait until night?" she welcomed me enticingly, but I'm just getting annoyed by her behavior.

"I'm not here to stay," I said coldly.

"Don't say that, come here." She said and pulled me inside but my body shivered in anger with her touch and pushed her to the wall and throttled her. I felt my blood rushing through my veins as I saw darkness looking at the woman.

"What do you want!? I told you to stay away from her!" I yelled at her angrily as my nostrils flared.

"From now on, I want you out of my life! stay away from me and my wife! You understand!?" And she nodded with her terrified face. I released her and breathed deeply, trying to calm myself before I got the checkbook inside my coat and signed it.

"Here, take this and don't show your face ever again or else you'll see what I am capable of, do you understand?" She nodded again as her answer. I turned my heels and walked out of the apartment, but I suddenly stopped my pace in the hallway of the building when I saw my wife standing, staring at me coldly.

"Hope?" But she didn't utter a single word.

"Sweety, I can explain. It's not what you think." I said trying to convince her. I took my steps closer to her but she suddenly turned and ran away from me and quickly got inside the lift.

"Hope!" I followed her but I was late. Before the door closes, I see the fiery glint in her eyes.
