SONG FOR THE CHAPTER: Peer preasure - James Bay
I'ts been weeks since we agreed on marrying each other, even if she sees it as a buissnes deal i see it as a marriage, i know it's not the most common relationship but we are not common people, this means i get to expend the rest of my life with her and i couldn't feel more lucky .
After our first date i've learnt a few things about her, about her as a person and as a boss, she's ruthless, she has no mercy but at the same time she can laugh, smile, be the sweetest human, she has this big heart of gold even if she puts up a dark act.
Before her all the women i went out with would just eat a salad or something close to air, the day i saw her devour that burger i felt more atractted that what i already was, she has all this things and memories hidden, i'll give her time but i want to know her, good, bad and even worse i'll be here for her, she doesn't deserve all my issues and flaws.
Sometime ago i made a mistake, a mistake that almost cost me my life and my families, i promised my self i would never get that close with anyone again, broke it the instant i saw her, she has all my trust even if i don't know her that well and it scares me, it scares me what she could do with all my secrets and all my sides, i don't want her to run away from me, i don't want to scare her.
One of my biggest secrets is that i am one of the biggest asassins and the best underworld fighter, my close family knows it, i've been in the hospital because of it, i would never put in danger the people i love, but sometimes it's something no one can avoid, i've been thinking of a way to tell draven who i am, vicenzo already knows it, and he hasn't told a soul, that i respect of him, the other day when i saw her painting what seem like our daughter, i noticed the art piece had a chain hanging in the corner, after that i decide to look at the other paintings in the hallway, they all share the same signature a chain hanging from a corner, she made the paintings, she did all of this paintings, they're all different stories but, all of them dark, full of anger, rage and sadness and after seeing how she works i'm sure all the things in this paintings did happened in real life, the thought of her being hurt kills me but it frustrates me even more knowing who did this and not being able to do anything about it.
...
Today i got on one knee, thing i never thought i would do, the smile in her face makes it all worth it, i missed her and how she calls me or the way she scrunches her nose whenever she desn't like something, it amazes me how she could've had any of the rings we saw, an expensive ring and still she prefered to keep it simple to have something small but with meaning, my grandmas ring has been passed down generations, it was gifted to me 2 years ago, when i thought about proposing to my long time girlfriend before finding out she was actually an undercover cop who was just trying to get close and find everything she could to take my family down, she even faked a pregnancy to stay close to me, finding out all her secrets, that she had a husband who she cheated on repeatedly whith whom she had kids, it broke me, she took all of me with her the night she left, i drowned myself in vices, unhealthy livestyles all so that i could feel something, something else than numbness.
Draven is different, i know she is, opening up to her feels good, being with her feels good too, even if this scares me i'll take the risk even if it is the last thing i do.
I'm super tired so i decide to take a nap, after giving my room to my cousin i move with draven to her room, she made some space for me to put my stuff in, such a small action can make me feel a ton of things it's amazing how powerfull she is, laying down in the bed i bury my face in the pillows and fill my lungs with her scent.
woked up by someone looking for me i notice is draven, she found out about me being the greek god, how did she found out, it's been nearly 2 months since i been here and she founds out today, that means she was looking for it, why would she look for the greek god, they're not even in the same continent, they are not even in the same kind of buissnes, does she needs someone to kill somebody, i thought she could do that herself, but who does she want dead to go to that length.
She's been out the whole day and anyone i asked about it they answer the same, "I don't know, sorry", after being fed up with the same answer i go look for nix or cosme, whomever i find first, walking into one of the livingrooms i see cosme and daxton almost fucking so before they see me i go back from where i came from, walking down the hallway one floor under us , i see vicenzo kissing my sister while she's leaning against the wall, not ready to confront the situation i head to massimos office , where enzo, my father and uncle are talking, he should know where she is, knocking in the door he answers and lets me in, "hello gentle men, sorry to bother but i was looking for draven, but i couldn't find her, is there any possibility any of you know where she is?" i ask and not even a minute goes by before massimo answers, "she's on a mission, she should be back soon" in a tone that suggests that i know about this so called mission, so before anything goes wrong i ask, "sorry but what mission?", both massimo and enzo look at me tongue tied, apparently i was supposed to know about this, enzo says breaking the silence, "in a chain killer mission you know, she goes on them every saturday" i feel the gasp form in my mouth, the chain killer as in the best assasin in the world, the only person i'm really scared of, "there's no way she's the chain killer" i say, massimo stands up and tells me, "i take that you didn't know son, i'm sorry you found out like this but she is in fact the chain killer, it's kind of her coping mechanism that's why she's so good at it, i don't know if you've noticed the paintings in your floor hallway, she made them all, and instead of a signature they each have a chain hanging in the corner, the same kind of chain the killer uses, and we both know that chain is unique, i only ask for one thing, don't tell her you know, she'll tell you when she feels like it but in the meanwhile act like you don't know this about her", still shocked with all of it the only answer i can give is nod my head up and down.
Like half an hour ago i saw the lights of her car in the driveway, unable to confront her about this i walk on the opossite way.
It's been two long days, i've been avoiding her, i haven't talked to her, it hurts me that she doesn't trust me enough to tell me something as little and unsignificant as that, she is the assasin i look up to, my future wife is whom i've looked up to for years, today is the wedding, in the last minute i'm writting my vows, even if we were not going to do them i feel the need to, i pour my heart out in this sheet of paper, allow myself to be vulnerable around her, allowing her to do everything she wants with my heart.
