The Devil's Rebirth

CHAPTER 19. Angel's Insecurities

EMIR'S POV

I woke up today with so much happiness, looking at my wife who is lying next to me, it is making me believe that there is real love connecting between us.

Last night, when I saw her eyes full of sadness asking if where I've been after her accident where she is unable to walk for months, I thought of returning to that time to fight my anxieties and stay at her side, but I reclaimed it, I can't risk the moment we shared last night. I doubt that it might not happen again and will only get our relationship worse.

Suddenly, she whimpered while her eyes slowly opened. Straight, looking back at mine. I swallowed,

'I hope she clearly remembered what we did last night,' I thought.

"Good morning angel," I greeted her with a smile, she blinked her eyes multiple times to clear her vision.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with a furrowed and scowled face.

"I should be asking you that. What are you still doing in my room?" I mocked her.

She moved and sat up, and when she finally realized that it wasn't her room she hit me hard on my stomach with her boney knuckles.

"Aw! What is your problem!?" I asked annoyed.

"Why did you bring me here! You p*****t! I told you I don't want to sleep with you anymore but you still took advantage of me!" She hissed while covering her body with the blanket.

"Oh, come on darling. After you moaned and screamed my name last night, you are now accusing me?" I huffed.

"You are unbelievable Hope, really" I mumbled, picking a cigarette inside the drawer and lighting it, but she didn't utter a word like she always does when arguing with me.

"You are the one who took advantage of me, you suddenly kissed me and even straddled me!" I kept on explaining when I noticed her cheeks turned to reddish.

'What was happening to her? She's acting like she was ashamed about something.' I thought, trying to analyze what it is.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, looking down, I was suddenly disgusted by her apology.

"What!? Why are you sorry?" I sighed and started to get annoyed again.

"Seriously? You are sorry? You are my wife, what are you sorry for!?" I asked but she didn't utter a word and just keep on the fiddling her fingers, until,

"I don't know, maybe because I felt so insecure?" She whispered with a shaky voice.

"Insecure? About what?" I asked but she only got up from the bed and left, leaving me without giving any answer to my question.

I sighed.

After a while, I took a quick shower with a smile, reminiscing how her body was very responsive to my every touch. I can't believe that after several months we are able to do that again, if only she is not stubborn and taking pills, I might get her pregnant already and have my eligible heir. I thought, sighing about it.

"Where is Hope?" I asked Karen when I didn't see her downstairs.

"She might still be in her bedroom sir." She told me so and I went back upstairs to her room.

But when I opened it she screeched and saw her trying out the gown for the party.

"Don't you know how to knock!?" She annoyingly asked, covering her body with the gown.

"Don't you know how to lock?" I retorted.

"And why are you still covering yourself? You're acting like I haven't seen your whole yet when the truth is I've licked every inch of you many times already." I seriously told her when I suddenly remembered the night about her running away with Nicolo. I come closer to her direction with a fierce expression and hold her arm.

"Tell me, did he touch you?" I asked her coldly, looking at her eyes trying to find an answer.

"Wha-What are you talking about?" She asked, stammering, that makes me more irritated.

"You know what I mean Hope, you're planning to run away from me tonight right? You are going to see him!?" I asked as I noticed my grip in her arms get tighter but I didn't care and wanted her to feel my wrath.

"Emir, you're hurting me, I don't understand what you are talking about." She winced.

"You are not going anywhere, you are not going to that party anymore!" I hissed and pushed her on the bed.

"You're crazy!" She retorted when I turned to leave, I turned back to her and say,

"Yes, I really am. So don't dare me, my dear wife." I told her before I turned to leave and immediately called Henry and asked for some updates about Ariane.

"Good morning, Mr. Villafranco." He greeted me.

"Any update about Ariane?" I asked.

"Not yet, sir, we checked on her possible relatives around the city but it appears that she has no one, that makes me start to feel weird about her and now we are currently working on her hometo…" I cut him off,

"She's coming to the party tonight to see me, look out for her there and check every way possible where a party crasher can pass through and find Nicolo, I want you to get him as well," I commanded firmly.

"Uh sir, by the way, Jessica found an artists that will attend to Miss Hope before the party and they are on their way now," He informed me.

"Cancel it, she's not coming."

"But sir, we already pay them in advance."

"I said cancel it! Just let them take the money, but if you want, you can replace Hope and ask them to curl up your hair instead." I said annoyed and ended the call.

I am standing on the balcony, closing my eyes tight while gripping hard on the railings, and taking a deep breath.

'I will not allow anyone to touch her, she's mine and mine only. I will surely kill that man this time.' I angrily thought and when I opened my eyes, I saw my wife walking towards her garden with a cheerful smile.

"Why does she always give those vegetable priorities more than herself?" I mumbled and turned to start my pace.

"Karen, have you prepared breakfast already?" I asked.

"Yes sir,"

And with that, I continued my pace outside and went in my wife's direction.

"Hope," she jumped in shocked when I called her.

"What!?" She retorted with irritation and a scowled face.

"Come on, let's have breakfast,"

"I'll just have coffee later." She said and continued what she was doing.

"Stop that and let's have breakfast first before I asked Karen to cook these vegetables of yours," I threatened her firmly.

"They're not vegetables," she glared at me.

"Whatever, let's go," I said and quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her.

"I'm not hungry," she said trying to pull out her arm from my grip, but I hold her tighter.

"Ouch! You're hurting me, Emir!" She winced, I quickly released her and faced her.

"Why are you so defiant!? And then you are telling me that I'm hurting you? If you only listen to me first I don't have to do that and you're not going to be hurt." I hissed looking down at her annoyingly.

"Let's go," I calmly said and began to walk but she didn't follow and only stayed on her spot.

I quickly take my pace back to her. She gasped when I abruptly carried her on my shoulder, her head facing my back.

"Hey! Put me down!" She cried while giving me weak punches on the back.

I slapped her ass once and that made her stop. I smirked and continued walking.

When we get inside I place her on the dining seat and again she stands up.

"Stay!" I fiercely said, I saw how she shivers with my command.

"I-I'll just wash my hands," she said, stretching her hands forward to show it to me.

"Be quick," I commanded and she quickly turned.

I smirked watching my stubborn angel stomping her feet.
