Blood Or Love (COMPLETED)

Chapter 10

Anastasia's POV

When we reached his place, it was night already so we just had dinner and he showed me his room. The huge amazing one. "There's something you'd like to know, Boss." One man came and informed us as we were climbing the stairs. He nodded and the man went away. "Ana, wait in the room okay. If I'm not back before half an hour or something, go to sleep. You'd be jet lagged." He pecked my forehead as I nodded and walked away.

His room was a huge one, when one enters the room, the first thing they'll see is a mini office type of room. On the left side, he had a chair, a computer in front and a few shelves above and beside it. Seems like he works till late night and directly goes to sleep. On the right side there was a couch. As we go further inside through the curtains that separates the room, bed at one side with a huge couch beside it. A huge wall stuck the television exactly in front of the bed and bookshelf beside the television. Beside the bed was a small bedside table and then a big sliding window balcony, which had an amazing view of the city. Have to give credits to his choice.

I was randomly exploring his room when he walked in silently and sat on the bed. "Lori" I called out. No response. Okay.. something is definitely wrong. I sat beside him on the bed and placed my hand on his shoulder. It seemed like he was shaking away.

"What is Lori? You seem stressed." I asked, looking at how absentminded he was. "Uhh.. it's nothing. Let's just sleep." He still doesn't know how to lie. "Lori... You can tell me anything. Remember our promise? Never to lie, never to hide." I threatened. "Ana it's just that... The dickhead has found out about our wedding. And is coming to look for you." He brought my hand closer to his chest and placed a kiss on it.

"So what about Lori? I'm not scared of him. I'm with the Mafia king himself. What is the need to be scared? When you already know that the dickhead can't even lay a finger upon me until the mafia King himself is by my side." I consoled him as he nodded. "Ana you're right. Completely right. But I'm scared right now. Now it's not like the old times Ana. Those five years of my life changed so much of me. And the worst part is he was with me all along the training. He doesn't know that we were in a relationship and all but he surely is stronger than you think." He whispered looking down.

"Never look down or away from me Lori." He looked into my eyes and he was glossy. I didn't know he was so scared for me. "Lori, everything will be fine." I grabbed his hand and made him walk till the bed as we sat. "Ana, this wedding happened so that I can save you from him. And at this point, as your husband, I'm scared. He was always the one who was in competition with me. Sometimes I lost to him, sometimes he lost. And now slowly I'm getting scared again. Those.. those memories are haunting me Ana." He hugged me tightly, not wanting to show me his tears.

"If you'll fall so easily then what will happen to me, ever thought that? This wedding happened for that right? And honestly, after looking at the scars on your body, of course I want to know everything but I don't care who lost or won back then. Now you are called the mafia king for a reason. A reason that you gave to the world. A reason for which everyone believes in you. He didn't or couldn't do that. So let that dickhead try whatever he can, I know my Lori will never give up on me, will he?" I gave him a long speech just to make him stop his tears and stand up straight.

"Never And never. I'll never give up on you. At Least not again. I love you too much to lose you. And you're correct. He has been hiding in a hole ever since the practice is over. So it's better for us to focus on our present and married life." He replied pecking my forehead. "Thank you. For consoling me, ever since I was taken away there, no one has even tried to console me. And honestly, if anyone would even try then I'd make him run away or scare him off so he never comes again. I've never let anyone close to me as you." I embraced him and we stayed just like that for I don't know how long. "Ana, I'm willing to tell you everything but I am not strong enough. I'm sorry I do something wrong and blame my past for it and you have to just quietly bare it. I promise you I'll tell you everything one day. I'll tell you everything Ana. Soon." He placed his head on my lap and had one of my hand in his.
