"WAIT!? YOU SOLD ME?"
-
"You are mine, Emily... You belong to me" he whispers in my ear and then kisses me. I feel electricity through my whole body. His hand goes from my hips to my ass and he squeezes so hard that I can't help the whimper that esc...

Bong...Bong...Bong...my head hurts and I don't remember where I'm at. I shift, trying to open my eyes but it's not easy.
"Uhg..."
"Emily?" a familiar voice calls out and I turn my head, my eyes still closed but his warms, big hands cups my face, preventing me from moving. "Don't move" I finally open my eyes, the lights blasting in which makes the banging in my head only worst, and see Mateo.
"Mateo..." my voice sound horrible and I'm the one admitting it; what is the world happen?
"The doctor is on his way" he says, scanning my face, look everywhere but avoiding my eyes; is he scared to look at me?
"W-What happened?" I ask, sitting up and he helps me but it's not easy because all the IV's at my arms and hands are in the way. I hear beeping from a monitor and I think it's my heart that's staring to rise. Finally sitting up, I taking in my surrounding; hospital...
"You...You passed out at the fire, do you remember?" fire? Right! With Ben! I nod, looking of anyone might be here as well but Mateo is here alone. He moves and sits next to me on the bed, his eyes full of worry and I see a little fear lingering too.
"Th-The baby?" I ask when my brain finally works, how could I forget? He holds my hands in his and I forgot how much I missed that simple touch.
"The baby is fine" he reassures me and I let out a sigh of relief, wincing. "What's wrong?"
"My throat is sore and my head hurts" I answer, looking down at our hands and he cups my cheeks again so I can stare into his electric blue eyes.
"I-I'm sorry" he says suddenly, surprising me; this isn't his fault.
"Why?" his fingers glides from my cheek to my bottom lips, playing a little and I desire for more
"It's all my fault" he pushes away, letting go of my hands as well and I grasp them just in time, wincing in silence at the movement because my back hurts as shit. Now it's my turn to cup his face, forcing him to look at me, which he does.
"This isn't your fault, Mateo...You didn't knew what Ben would have done; no one did..." he nods but I can tell he still doesn't accept it. "I love you" I say and a single tear rolls down his cheek; is he...crying? Another one soon follows, breaking my heart inside and I wipe them way, feeling them coming too.
"I love you, Emily. I love you so much it hurts seeing you like this. I should have been-"
"-No, don't say that you should have been the one here" I cut him off and we're both silence. The tears finally have stopped and I move my body towards him, regretting soon when it hurt again but I need to do this. He helps me, holding me in his arms and I surprise him by kissing his soft lips. He doesn't move first but soon follow my movement. "I love you and no matter what happened with Ben, I still love you Mateo..." I whisper against his lips and I feel a smile on them.
"I love you more" he replies and now I'm the one smiling. The doctor storms in, ruining our moment a little but I don't mind; he needs to help me with the headache I have and tell me what happen because I got a feeling a lot has happened since I got here.
"Everything seems fine, Mrs. El Ricci, you can call yourself lucky because not many people survive this and especially not while pregnant" he smiles. "We need to do a few checks before you can leave" he turns to Mateo, sweat coating his face a little by facing my husband. "S-she will need to stay a few nights here but after that she can go, Mr. El Ricci" Mateo nods, his gaze never leaving mine and the doctor leaves us alone.
"I got lucky" I say playfully, trying to light the mood when we're in an awkward silence, something that hasn't happened in a while. He still doesn't say a thing. "Mateo?" he blinks.
"Huh?" he replies after a while.
"You were staring" he smiles but they don't quite reach his eyes. "Stop"
"Stop what?" he asks, leaning against the door.
"Stop blaming yourself! You didn't knew this would happen and I know you think that you should have know but it happen. When I look at you, I think Ben is dead now so he can't hurt me anymore! Please, stop what you're feeling...It's killing me inside to see you at this"
"I'm sorry" he replies.
"Stop saying that too" we stare at each other. "Talk to me, tell me what you're thinking" he sighs and strolls to my bed, his head low.
"I don't deserve you" he says. "I honestly don't know why you're still with me. My life is dangerous. What you just experience is only the beginning of something much more...You're not used to dealing with those stuff; killing, dead, kidnap...I want you to have a safe and happy life with our child but I can't give you that when I'm still in this kind of life; what will happen when the baby is born and suddenly I die? I can't-"
"-Mateo!" I yell, stopping this whole shit. "I choose to be with you because I love you and if that means I'm in danger 24/7 then I don't give a fuck! I want to be with you for you, all the dark demons included" he's silence. "And you deserve to be happy too, have a family of your own and I'm the luckiest woman alive if I can give you that...Just don't shut me out, not now, not after everything we've been through" I don't know how long we've been silence but he's the one who speaks first.
"I'm a dumbass" he grins, happiness filling his gaze and I let out a sigh of relieve. "How did I get so lucky to find someone like you" he walks over to me, cupping my face and kissing me deeply. "That speech is just what I needed, Butterfly" we're back on nicknames and I like it. "I love you, I love you" he repeats and I can't help but giggle loudly.
How did I end up being Sold to him, going on an emotional roller coaster which leaded to an almost divorce and falling for him at the same time? I have no fucking idea but one thing I know...I want to spent the rest of my life with him because he's not only my world or the father of my baby, he's also my universe...and that's something I can't let go off.
Never.
