The Reason for her Broken Heart

twenty four

Adonis's Pov

Zara had been sleeping for 13 hours now. Ever since we came back she hadn't spoken to me all she told me was that she wanted to sleep.

She wouldn't even let me walk her up the stairs. I asked her if she wanted to sleep in a guest room and she only nodded. When we reached there she didn't allow me in the room instead she slammed it in my face and locked the door.

I don't know what Roman did to her, but I still wanted to kill him.

I had my men search for him but there was no sign of him. It was like he disappeared into thin air.

I am starting to worry about Zara, I heard no movement inside the room and I knew Zara, she wasn't like this.

Eli saw me walk her in, he didn't say anything he just watched us. I could tell he wanted to run to Zara but stayed still.

Zara looked absolutely out of it. Her eyes held no emotion but it was clear she had been crying. Her hair was pinned back and I saw dried blood on her clothes.

I was angry at myself, why didn't I search for her.

I should've known.

It was now 4 pm the next day and I had to check on Zara. Eli was watching TV in my room so I quickly went by her door.

I placed my ear on the wood and again, heard nothing.

I knocked on the door, resting my body on it as well. "Zara, are you ok? Can I come in?"

Nothing

It was like she wasn't in there. I had a spare key in my pocket and I was debating whether to use it or not.

I was ready to knock again before I heard a loud thud coming from inside the room. I quickly put the key in the knob and rushed into the room.

The room was dark and the only light was coming from the bathroom. I ran over to the bathroom only to see Zara standing there.

"I dropped the plant, it was very heavy." She lightly tapped her head before smiling at me.

"Zara, are you feeling ok?" I placed my hand on her forehead but she only shoved my hand away.

Now she was mad?

"Don't fucking touch me." She moved past me and out of the bathroom. "I also never said you could come in here."

"Yea well I was worried about you." She scoffed.

"Worried? Were you worried about me when I was kidnapped for 2 days? I don't think so."

"I-"

"Or was Lily keeping you company?" Lily?

"Her name is Lucy and-"

"I don't give a damn what her name is- You know what? Nevermind I am losing my mind."

"No Zara, tell me what's up, why are you really angry."

"I don't want to speak to you. Leave." Her emotions are all over the place.

"No, I am not leaving Zara. You know why? Because you are making me go crazy. I don't care if you don't like me back because I still like you!"

"Why? Why do you like me?"

"Because I do!"

Zara's POV

"Because I do! Everything about you drives me crazy, in the best way possible. I have never felt this way before let alone express it. My son loves, god even my mother does. And-And I hate that I didn't find you sooner. I've got no clue what happened at Roman's place, I'm sorry I am so-"

"Just shut up!" We both stayed silent.

"I want to tell you, I want to open up to you." I whispered. walked up to him and grabbed his wrist and pulled him to sit on the bed with me.

"What happened? What did he do to you?"

And I told him, I told him everything. How he touched me, how he killed my sister, how he'd been watching me, watching my every move.

When I told him it felt good, he didn't make me feel bad. I felt like I could trust him. I let him hold me and I let him see me vulnerable.

I don't know if I was being forgiven for all my actions but at this very moment I felt happy. I felt complete in Adonis's arms.

"It's ok Love, you'll be ok." I pulled away from his touch and dried my tears.

"Thank you Adonis."

"Anything." He watched me and I placed my hands in my lap. "Adonis?"

"Hm?"

"I know this is hard, and it's hard for me too. I want to love you but it hurts too much."

He grabbed my hands from my lap and gave them a quick peck. "If you give me this chance, this one chance, Zara, you will never regret."

He was always good to me. This could be good for me. A way to start over. "Ok Ok. Adonis, will you be my boyfriend?"

A smile broke out on his face and he pulled me for a kiss. "Of course I will."

"Mommy! Daddy!" Eli ran through the door and jumped on us.

Wait. Did he just call me mommy?

What did I miss?

I looked over at Adonis who seemed to be looking for my reaction. I couldn't help but chuckle. "Mommy huh?"

"Mhm."

"Cute."

Things were starting to feel good. I liked it.
