My Cold Forced Husband!

Chapter 11

I woke up without Riku in my arms. I remembered I had him with me the previous night. I got worried so I looked around to find him.

I scanned my room but he was nowhere to be found. My heart was beating like crazy and my legs were shaking. 

I had a fear that Karma hurt Riku and took him somewhere. I started to shed a few tears down.

I ran downstairs as quickly as possible. My Pj's was kind of oversized and I managed to trip and fall down the stories hurting my knees and elbows. 

Before I knew it, my parents came running with a shocked face.

"Omg! Are you okay Nevaeh?" My mom said rushing over to me.

Karma also came in with Riku in his arms with a confused expression on his face.

I got up not caring about how much my knees were hurting.

I got so mad at him and he can tell so he put Riku down with a worried face.

I held his collar on his shirt harshly...

"DO YOU REALIZE HOW SCARED I WAS?? Why did you take him without MY permission? I was pretty sure that you were going to h-..." I didn't complete my sentence because I didn't want my parents to find out. They were going to get hurt too.

I let his collar go and scoffed.

His eyes softened, which I had never seen before. He brought his hands to my cheeks and caressed them softly.

My parents were watching this the entire time so I was pretty sure they were confused why I overreacted. He picked me up in bridal style and carried me to my room.

Away from my parent's sight, I tried to let myself get free.

"GET ME DOWN KARMA!" I said wiggling around.

He smirked because he thought it was cute.

He went to my room and finally let me down on my bed but instead of letting me go gently, he tossed me onto my bed.

I gasp.

"KARMAAAA!" I screamed at him while he laughed.

"Stay right here I'll be right back." 

"WHO ARE YOU TO B-" I couldn't finish my sentence because he was already out the door.

I groaned.

Karma came in with a medical aid kit to heal my wounds on my knees.

He was really focused on putting bandages and creams on my knees while I was completely lost in that face of his. 

"What made you so harsh Karma? I never hated you at first. You didn't look so...cold. You also didn't get to know me well. I am sorry Karma for this interference in your life. I know we both didn't want to get married at such a young age and marry a random girl we don't want to marry but I did it for my parents. I really meant and still mean no harm towards you. I thought I could change you. So why even bother being mean to me even when nothing is being gained by us, other than frustration and pain." 

I snapped back into reality when he dabbed the cotton on my cut.

"I am sorry." I was confused wondering what he was sorry for. 

He was done healing my wounds and I put my head back on my bed and sighed.

Karma was still next to me. When I looked over to the side, I saw him staring at me. I was surprised because this time it wasn't an annoyed stare or even a glare.

He held my hand and shifted closer to me. I was surprised and confused.

Before I took my hand out and push him away, his grip on me got tighter. Not rougher but tighter. It was almost he knew I was planning to get away from him. 

"Nevaeh can you please listen to what I have to say?"

I scoffed. 

"Karma, please. I don't want that... "Act natural for my parents" and all that bullshit."

"Please listen to me." His voice was still soft despite my slightly harsh words.

I sighed and gave in. Why can't I ever resist feeling bad about him or even caring about him?

"Just say it Karma."

"I don't know if im in the right position to say this but, I don't want to take you back because of my parents. It's just, I can't even say I lo-like you. I have always had trouble with these kinds of things. I just know I treated you very poorly and im sorry for that. I truly mean it. I do understand you are a very nice person, one of the best people I have ever met."

"Can you give this marriage a...second change?"

 What happened that made him reconsider us? 

I didn't realize I had tears on my face.

Before I could answer he said,

"Please Nevaeh. Give me another chance. In the past few days, without you, I have been feeling so lost, so impatient and so frustrated. I am very very sorry Nevaeh. I know I don't deserve you but-"

I put my finger on his lips so he could stop talking. He also had tears in his eyes which I've never seen before.

I smiled a little. 

After all, I did like him a bit even though he has hurt me a lot. I was able to change him. Is this it? Will I finally be happy again? 

I held his hand in mine this time.

"Karma... you have hurt me a lot." 

"I know Nevaeh. I am really sorry."

"I...I will give you another chance. But this time, don't hurt me. I wouldn't be able to handle it next time. I care for you and I'm willing to trust you again. Don't ever break this trust."

Karma started to cry and I hugged him rubbing his back.

"Thank you so much, Nevaeh. I will never break this promise. I love you."
