Destined for Revenge

Chapter 56

Aveliene's pov:

Currently I am standing near the balcony of our room, I've shifted in Vaughn's room after we return from our honeymoon as he said that he can't stay away from me.

I put my empty mug of coffee near the bed and extended my hand out to touch the rain drops as it is raining outside. It is evening but it appears like night as the dark clouds cover the sky.

I heard the room's door being opened and turned around and saw Vaughn. He threw his coat on the couch and made his way towards me. There was mischief in his eyes. As I remember our last meeting in his cabin.

I decided to play with him, a little.
"You are home early, I wonder why?", I said and acted oblivious.

To which he came closer.
"Oh really, Well then let me remind you that you left me in the middle of our heated make out session", he said casually but I didn't miss the mischievous glint in his eyes. And I could feel my knees getting weak at his statement.

"And you said to wait till home so here I am to complete it", he said and tried to kiss me but I instantly stood aside and stepped away from him, while he groan.

"Well I dont remember saying such a thing" I said while tring hard not to laugh at his annoyed expression.

Suddenly!!

A loud sound of thunder roared outside and I squealed and hugged the very next thing.

"I hate thunder" I muttered in a low voice.

I heard Vaughn chuckling as his chest vibrated under me.
"Well I love thunder", he said in a teasing tone, and I quickly pulled away muttering Mr Rude.

"Mr rude, huh?", he said with amusement and instantly holded my arm and pulled me back as my face hit his chest.
I tried to push him but his hold tighten. I sighed and let him hold me. A question instantly popped in my mind.
"Why do you address me with my surname before?" I asked.

"Aveliene leave it-" He began but I cut him off.

"No tell me why you don't call my name?" I said stubbornly. He sighed.

"I didn't address you by your name because, because it's too innocent just like you. If I would have used it then it would only distracts me from my aim to take revenge. So I used your surname because it reminds me that you are a daughter of Lawrence, who destroyed my family. And it would make things easier for me. But......these are all past things, the only thing matters now is that you are in my arms and I am not letting you go away." He said and kissed me on my forehead. And I smiled sweetly.

We stood there in a comfortable silent while looking at the rain through the balcony.
"Wanna dance?" Vaughn whispered as I looked up.
"Without music?" I said amusingly.

"Yes, if you want", he replied.

I stared in his eyes and nodded.

Soon, we're slowly dancing, the sound of the rain drops outside making the atmosphere more soothing, more intimate.
I lay my head against his chest, enjoying his intoxicated signature cologne. Although he has just got back from work and is in his office attire but still he always smells so nice.
I sighed with contentment.

Suddenly!!

Vaughn's phone rang, he sighed and went to answer his phone.

"Hello- Yes- What!- But- How- Okay Fine!", Vaughn's snapped in frustration his entire happy mood changed.

"Damn it",He muttered and threw the phone on the bed and ran his fingers across his hairs.

I went near him.
"What happened?", I asked with worry.
