Scars

Nightmare

"One time just lay" I said
"No" she added
"Should I tie you to the damn bed to sleep!" I said angrily

Already getting on my damn nerves she rolled her eyes then slowly laying down resting her head on the pillow

I watched as she turned on her side facing the wall her body stiffed and tense she won't be able to sleep unless she's relaxed

I laid down and sighed
"I'll stay awake until you sleep" I said mumbling
Hearing her sigh and clutch onto the blanket

I picked up my phone and went over some emails and messages and would watch over her but she just kept awake

I sighed in annoyance "look I'm busy tomorrow I want to sleep so just fucking sleep!" I said and she shot up and faced me

"I said I bloody can't force me all you want try whatever you want but I can't and I won't!" She yelled back

Surprising me "don't raise your tone at me!" I said furiously and I could see tears form in her eyes

"This is useless" she mumbled getting out of bed I grabbed her wrist hearing her wince in pain and forced her back to the bed

"Never turn your fucking back at me!"
I forced her to lay down turning her onto my side and embraced her

She was sweating and cold "fucking sleep now!" She tried to get out of my grip "sleep" I said in a more calmer tone

I sighed looking at the window as the rain poured and a thunder strike she flinch "block it out" I said

"Let me go" she said calmer and quietly
"Sleep first" I looked at her as she stared at my chest then slowly closed her eyes

I sighed looking back out the window her body still tense "relax your body" and she slowly did I closed my eyes and began to sleep

2 hours later

I slowly woke up to a sound from my side and so much shuffling I looked at Maribel and her shirt was wet her palms were stained blood

She kept repeating something
I brought her in and rubbed her back "it's okay it's okay"

"Stop stop!" She kept uttering I grabbed her hands since she kept digging her nails in her palms

"Shh calm down" after awhile of calming her down she fell back asleep and I went back to sleep

Morning

Maribel's PoV

I slowly opened my eyes yawning, feeling warmth for the first time around me which I never wanted to let go

I looked properly and saw it was Reece embracing me asleep, he seemed so peaceful different from yesterday

I slowly moved which caused him to wake up I looked at his eyes as he slowly looked at mine I gulped

He rolled his eyes and released me getting up grabbing clothes and went to the bathroom to change I sighed

And covered my face oh gosh please I really hope I didn't say anything the door opened and I heard his footsteps

Then the door closed I slowly looked up and he was gone I got up from the bed seeing it all wet my shirt wet

I sighed gosh it's so damn hot today but as usual I have to wear my damn long sleeves and jeans anything that covers my body

I went to take a shower and turned the tap on I got in and cleaned myself then got out and looked into the mirror looking at my scars and burnt marks

I gulped then dried my body and hair and got changed

I walked to the bed and removed the sheets and placed them in the laundry basket and the pillow cases and blankets

I walked out the bedroom with the basket and saw a maid I asked her where's the laundry room and she looked surprised

"Oh Mrs Cassietta you must not wash these please let me" she said trying to get the basket "No, it's my mess ma'am I'll clean them it's my responsibility" I said

"It's my job Mrs Cassietta I must do these you are now my boss as well"
Boss?

"Excuse me? Boss?"
"Ah so the famous sister-in-law is already doing some work" a male voice behind me spoke

"Good morning Camilo, I was just going to wash these" the maid said taking the basket out of my hands

"No worries go ahead" he said I groaned and turned around

Camilo Cassietta

"So you've already messed my brothers bed?" He said with a cheeky smirk "wild on your first night with him"

"We did nothing" I said crossing my arms annoyed he scanned my outfit then looked at me "that too with jeans in summer are you crazy"

I was about to speak but he interrupted "never mine, you married my brother so yes you are" I rolled my eyes

"I did not-"
"Camilo a word!" I looked behind him and his brother smirked "already mad I'm speaking with you" he said then winked

"Coming" he said as he walked away into a room Reece glared at me then walked into the room closing the door

I went to the door and ears dropped
"Are you trying to make a move on my wife already!"

"My dear brother, why would I do that?"
"Because you have a record on stealing girls I've been with"

"Oh, the sloppy seconds they did prefer me more unlike you I'm a gentleman you on the other hand is a ruthless cold hearted bastard"

"Try anything on my wife and I'll kill you personally family or not I'll still do it"

My eyes widened what the hell did I get married into "Mrs Cassietta?" I quickly turned to my side hushing her

And she looked confused at me the footsteps grew louder and the door slowly creeped open
