Burn me

Chapter 32: Armani Aloisios

Armani reaches toward Angelica hugging her to his chest.

"You're back." She says checking him for any injuries. He nods.

"You've lost weight." He says with a worried expression.

"Don't worry. It's fine. At least I got my parent confirmation." She says with a smile.

"Promise me you will never do that again. Not for me or for anyone. Don't ever risk your health ok?" He says. She nods. He kissed her forehead.

A day later it was his parents funeral. He promised to find the killers and take revenge. He arranged to bury them next to each other, bringing them back to their hometown.

Armani didn't shed a tear during funeral but Angelica was sobbing her heart out. She couldn't believe they're gone.

After funeral they were back at his home. Angelica was making something for him to eat.

When she entered she noticed him sitting on the bed staring at a picture. His family picture.

"Leave." Armani says to Angelica. She shakes her head, going to him.

"I said leave." He growls. She didn't care. She hugged him to her chest.

"Let it out." She whispers.

Then and there Armani started sobbing. For his loss, for his family and for his life. She couldn't help but to cry as well she couldn't see him in this condition and she loved his family like her own.

The only thing that was able to calm him down was his Angel.

Armani was looking all around for the killers and soon he succeeded. He was ruthless. He was training since he was five.

He didn't just kill them, he tortured them as well. In the end he burned the whole place down.

His only mistake was letting a young boy go. He hesitated in killing him. He was pleading to him. He let it go, a decision he soon regretted.

He was bloody. He opened the door but didn't except to see Angelica standing there staring at him with a shocked expression.

"What happened?" She asked rushing to him.

"Stay away. I am fine." He says looking away.

"Are you sure?" She asked searching him for injuries.

"Angelica get away. Look at me. I am a bloody monster. I killed them all." He says shaking his head.

"Who? The killers?" She asks with a small voice he nods.

"It doesn't matter to me." She says looking at him.

"I am a monster can't you see? Do you really wanna marry me? I don't deserve you." He says she nods without hesitation.

"You know there is a saying which says the only guy who deserves you is the one who thinks he doesn't." She says with a smile and kisses him.

Right there he realized that she is all he needs.

Soon they got married. Her father walked her down the aisle. He wasn't happy about it but did it. He wanted her daughter away from this life even though Armani promised to keep her safe.

Two years past they were living their life when her mother lost her life. She had a heart attack. Her father lost it. She was his one and only love. The light if his life.

Angelica was a mess she couldn't brilliant she lost her mother at a young age. She sobbed in Armanis arms. He was there for her all along.

"Armani I can't take it." She sobs.

"Don't ever say that you're greater than this pain." He says.

"You have me." He adds.

Her father got lost after a month. A month of sleeping by her grave. He was drowning himself in business.

Armani decided to take Angelica on a vacation. He handed the business to his second hand man for a while and started traveling the world with her love.

Everything was good till after almost a year his second hand man got sick. Even though Armani was handling things form afar he decided to go back.

Angelica was twenty three when she start throwing up and passing out.

"Angelica you need to visit the doctor." Armani says rubbing her back. She just threw up everything she ate.

"It's just a stomach bug." She says.

"But it's bothering you." He says.

"I am ok don't worry." She says. They went to the dining hall hand to hand.

"I made you your favorite cookies." Andrea says handing them to Angelica. She thanked her eating them in silence.

Even though Andrea was just thirty she acted like a mother toward Angelica. Angelica told her many times that she's just like a sister to her.

The next day Angelica rushed toward the toilet puking her guts out. Armani wanted to take her to the hospital right there and then but she stopped him. Told him she will go after taking a nap. He only accepted after she promised him.

Armani was worried sick. It didn't last long when they found out she's pregnant. Pregnant with their first child. Clara Aloisios.

Angelica was scared to tell him. She ran away hiding in their spot.

"What are you doing here? I was worried sick looking everywhere for you." Armani says.

"Sorry." She whispers. She was caressing the A&A he hacked on the rock for her. The day he did it she was there looking at him adoringly. She was seventeen back at then.

"What's wrong?" He asks sitting by her side.

"Nothing." She says looking away.

"No there is something bothering you. Tell me. You know you can tell me everything right?" He asks. She nods.

"Um well..." She didn't know how to say it so she grabbed his hand putting it on her abdomen. He looked at his hand then back at her.

"No." He says shaking his head in disbelief. She nods.

"You are?" He asks unable to finish his sentence.

"Yes Armani I am pregnant." She says with a nod. Tears running down her face.
