Twisted Revenge by A.ZChaudhry

Chapter 31

ALESSIO

We were driving back home and nearly the whole car ride was silent. It was wrong. It was so so so fucking wrong. Catching feelings and then kissing her? It was all so fucking wrong.

I increased the speed of the car and took a sharp U-turn when she cleared her throat, "I-"

"It was a mistake and would never be repeated again."

She looked at me and I registered surprise out of the corner of my eyes, but I didn't turn my face to look at her. She opened her mouth several times and ended up just turning her head away. I cleared my throat, "The assault, I meant."

She opened her mouth when I held up my hand, effectively shutting her up.

Good.

No more fucking arguments.

We reached home and as quickly as possible upon entering the house, I changed my direction to avoid her at all costs. She was about to get out of my sight when I turned around and speed walked after her and stopped her. Wrapping a tight hand around her wrist, I spun her around when she stumbled onto her feet but I stepped out of the way to make sure she didn't fall into me, keeping my strong hold onto her to make sure she didn't fall face down on the floor either.

She adjusted herself up and looked at me, with those darn rays of hope in her eyes when leaving her wrist, I said, "I actually meant the kissing. It was the alcohol and it was a fucking mistake, will never be repeated again. Knowing that women get frustrated easily, and knowing that you are my wife but one that I don't want and don't care about?" Something broke behind those beautiful magnificent irises of hers as my heart shattered into a million pieces.

She was staring at me when my gaze went to her lips. Full, plump lips that I wanted to do nothing but feel again, let my thoughts obscure as I kissed her, dominated her mouth with my tongue and make her catch onto my collar as we would thrust against each other. I wanted to do all of that.

"I allow you to have sex with whoever you like here till our divorce isn't finalized, which would take a few as currently, you are the target of many mafia families, and until and unless I don't wipe everyone out, you are not going anywhere. But your sexual partners and the fact that you had it with them, remains in this house. One speck of information of this leaves and you end up dead in the most painful way. Quick death is a reward and I don't give rewards."

Anger flashed over her face when she came towards me in large strides and jutted a finger in my chest, tears rolling down her cheeks which I so wanted to remove there and then and kiss her cheeks, "Don't you dare to ever call me a whore again."

I squared up my shoulders and pushed against her chest, "Why not? It didn't affect you when I wed you."

"It did but you were blind to the human emotions. Now? It's just the same but I, too, am blind to them now."

"Stay in your limits, Avelina."

She sighed, "It's been more than seven months. I can't stay like this forever or live a life like this forever. Alessio-" her voice broke. Her fucking voice broke when I wanted to cradle her in my arms and never let go. I wanted to hug her, caress her and tell her that I will protect her. I will protect her from every demon outside, every enemy outside, every fucking gun outside. But what I couldn't protect her from, was my mind.

Not me, my mind.

It was the most hurt organ in my entire body and was basically running everything.

Avelina stepped forward, cupped my cheeks and looked at me. Like really looked. Exactly the way Julianna would do when I was hurting and refusing to vent out. Avelina held me like that again when I hardened my chin bone and features. I didn't want to appear as a weak man to the emotions in front of her and hence, I just hardened my stature.
