Savage Crown II

Natalia

Four years of running, four years of pain, four years Zoey had missed with Callum. Four years I thought he had been planning to kill me. Callum came behind me and held me in his arms to keep me from falling. He walked me out of the room locking it behind him. As lead me up a flight of stairs to his office.

A dark theme throughout the place with black walls and built in bookshelves. He closed the door behind us and held me as I sobbed.

"Life has been cruel to our family!" I cried as his arms tightened around me, " I shouldn't have run, I should have stayed and trusted you!"

"Don't mo ghrá. What matters is I've found you now....you knowing the truth is all that matters to me right now... the truth is while my father was still in charge and we had just gotten married he wanted me to make you mine and and give me an heir but never have you killed... my fathers reasons were selfish and that even he took his orders back after meeting you. As soon I took charge I didn't take anything from Chicago in show of good faith that I meant well with you, did Gio not tell you?"

"No he didn't " I said searching my mind for possible memories. "Well now you know everything Natalia, including my own fathers stupid plans in case Declan tries anything like that again. If whoever broke into the apartment had got to you first and they were one of Declan's people an heir will make it harder for him to take what he wants."

"Zoey didn't follow Clarke tradition, she doesn't speak Gaelic like you and she's a first born girl"

"That's never mattered to me Natalia... she is my blood and if our empire is what she wants when she's older it will be there ready for her to take, just like it will be there for the rest of our kids."

"Rest of our kids?" I softly repeated those words.

"You're probably already pregnant right now after filling you with my cum last night till your pussy couldn't hold it anymore." He smirked as he caressed my stomach.

"What do you say Natalia, lets rule our empire together, as husband and wife, as partners... how it would have been and how it will be?"

My eyes widdened and my heart filled with warmth, "yes Callum."

"Good" he smiled sliding a box out of his pocket.

"My ring box!" I gasped, "H-How did you get a hold of it?" I asked looking down at it. "I thought I had forgotten it back in New Zealand"

"I had my assistant arrange for movers the same day we arrived at the penthouse" he smiled. "Who would have known you kept your rings after all these years."

"I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them" I painly said. "If I may" he asked as he opened the black box revealing the diamond ring he had got for me accompanied by the engraved band.

He took the rings as I stuck my hand out for him, he neatly slid my rings back on me. "These rings were easily removable Natalia...I had both of our simple bands altered...you'll never be able to take it off after today."

"What do you mean?"I asked as he slipped the platinum band I felt something rubbing my finger from the inside softly as he did. "Try and it take it off now " he smiled mischievously.

As I tugged at the engraved band something sharp dug itself into my inner finger. "What is this?" 

"A ring Natalia" he said as he pulled me in close to him. ..."a ring that can't be removed. To remind you of your promise to us just like I'm reminded of my promise to you and our daughter"

Thats when I realized the only way out of it now was if we painstakingly tried prying it off mangling our fingers in the attempts to do so or cut our fingers off... we belong to each other again, "who knew my husband could be so possessive" I teased.
