Chapter 53

"Tell me now," Leora says when they are driving to Sicily in the middle of the night.

"You know that I can't comfort you while I'm driving like this," Matteo says and gives her a deadpan look.

"That is why I am asking. I need you to be distracted to touch me when I am angry." Leora says and keeps pushing him to answer her questions.

"Fine. This is the most recent and the most fatal. I know you'll be angry at me." He sighs and considers backing off from the decision he had made.

"I'm deliberately impregnating you, without your consent." He says with a hesitant but clear voice.

There is a silence in the car. Leora closes her eyes and seems to try to digest his words. Automatically her hands touch her belly as she gritted her teeth.

"Now I wonder, why I'm so easy to marry you back then." She gritted her teeth in anger.

"Do you hate her?" Matteo asks after the silence.

"I hate you for doing that, but I can never hate this child. She is innocent. But I don't even understand why you did that?" She asks while glaring at him.

"I just want you to be saved." He answers making her even more confused.

"Explain." She exclaimed.

"You insist on getting into the fight. While I can't force you to stop without getting on your bad side, I try to make you give the thoughts up by yourself. The only reasonable reason is making you prioritize the baby over yourself. Besides I do want a child of my own." He says trying to make her believe him.

"Even when I'm the strong-headed person I will hear you. After all, you know that you are the head of our family, which means that I need to ask your opinion about everything." Leora sighs and leans back.

"Another thing. I have stalked you even before this." He says fastly, trying to say all of the problematic problems with this chance.

"I know about that. Taylor already mentioned this to me. I know you won't leave me alone so easily like that after I run away." She says and smiles at him. Back than knowing this information makes her confused about her owns feeling but now she is grateful that he doesn't leave her.

"It's a different matter," Matteo says awkwardly. 

"So you did stalk me when I am at your brother's house." She says loudly in surprise.

"That's my house legally, and yeah I did stalk you, but I'm talking back then before I kidnapped you." He says without looking at her.

"How long did you stalk me, because I don't even remember our first meeting." She says truthfully.

"Almost 2 years before I decided to kidnap you." He says and looks at her.

"I can't even comment anything about that." Leora sighs.

"It is horrible isn't it?" Says Matteo tries to joke about this.

"Haha, yeah it is." She says laughing dryly.

 "Nothing normal when it's come from you." She comments.

"Sleep bambina you can rest, I'll wake you up when we are near there." He says and stroking her thighs with his left hand.

"Can we talk a little bit more? I'm not that tired yet." She asks and intertwines their hands.

"Fine, what do you want to talk about?" He says and stroking her hand with his thumb.

"I don't know. What about your next plan after retiring?" She asks.

"Hmm, well firstly I won't be as rich and as powerful as now."
