The Dangerous Love

I Love You Too

"Ri-chard, I-I never knew. I never knew you had such a terrible past. I-I think I judged you too soon." I said as I realized how wrong I was to conclude Richard was a spoiled kid who never cared for anyone. The irony of the situation was something I never imagined. He was a broken child who had dreams. Yes, he is a devil but once he was an angel whose wings were cut down by the people he loved. How accurate was it when someone said that villains aren't born but the world turns them into one!

Richard pulled himself back from my embrace and was wiping his tears like a small kid. He then looked up at me with his gloomy eyes and said.

"You have all rights to hate me but Kritika, I-I. You're my everything now. I, umm it'll be hard for me to let go of you. Kritika pl-ease don't lea-ve me. You're the only hope I have now, the only person in whom I found comfort after years." Richard said and I could no more see that confidence and attitude he usually holds. He was like a small kid infront of me wailing about how badly others treated him and apologising for the mistakes he has done.

"Hey, hey don't cry, it's fine. I'm not going anywhere, ok?" I was patting his head saying sweet words trying to reassure him but even I, myself was confused why I cared for him, cared for my fiance whom I wanted to hate the most. It seemed like I failed miserably to keep my love out of my way and prevent myself from falling more deep for him. If I want I can run away now. But my legs and body refused to move. It was like my body was attracted to him and now I can't move away from him. The love I have for him, I was hiding it as much as I can. But love is unconditional, it is magical. It'll enchant us, it's ecstatic, it can't be hidden for too long. Fate can never be changed. This was written in my fate, this is my destiny, to surrender infront of Richard's love. Afterall his heart was filled with darkness. but the people he relied on, his mom and dad were the one to extinguish the existed light from his heart at the first place and now he required a little bit of light which can brighten him up again and I could provide it but I hesitated. I hesitated not being ready to accept the things that'll become visible once the lights comes. Will I be able to handle? Or will it scare me away? I didn't knew.

"Still do you want to leave me, Kritika?" He asked snapping me out of my thoughts. It seemed like he expected to hear a 'NO' as my answer.

"Richard, the things you did weren't right. You killed people, you did many wrong things that can not be forgiven. But for now I'll stay with you. I don't know why but I feel like I should stay." I replied unsure of my decision. He did have done a lot of sins but just because he had no other choice. I couldn't blame him, I knew it was not completely his fault. He became a bad person to convince his father, to make his father proud of him. Maybe if I was in his place, I would also have did anything for my parent's happiness.

"Thank you, Kritika. I know I'm doing wrong and I promise you, for you I will try to change." Richard said and I felt an assurance in his voice. Those words made me smile widely. It's as if I forgot everything that happened till now. I was captured, captured in his love.

"Kriti, I'm sorry I tried to force you. But I'm not intending to leave you alone here tonight. I want you, I want you as only mine forever. Please allow me to do it." He spoke his mind out with no hesitation.

"Ri-ri-chard b-but-"

"I won't hurt you, my love. Just rely on me. I'll take care of you." He affirmed. And I not knew how to respond. I had no words to say but in return I just nodded my acceptance unaware of the upcoming moments. I really had no idea what I was upto. My mind told me to get out of there and from him but my heart was in control and it wanted me to stay, stay with him for the rest of my life. At that moment I didn't thought about my family or my business. Hate and revenge vanished from both of our minds. It was pure love that filled the atmosphere, tempting eachother. As I agreed, he took me in bridal style and laid me down on the bed. He touched me, teased me. Loved me as much as he could, he wanted to give me all the love in this world. He gave me pleasure and pain. A pain that I enjoyed and a pain for which I asked more. 'He isn't as bad as I thought.' My mind made that conclusion as he was exploring every inch of my body and marking them with his wet kisses, marking me as his. I was shy, it was my first time and I hid my face in the pillow as I saw his bare muscular body but there were scars in different parts emphasising his past but those scars made him look more perfect. He hugged me, hugged me tight giving me warmth and comfort. He made me comfortable and feel like I wasn't doing something wrong. I was the first woman in his heart, he wanted me to be his one and only girl in life. He was ready to give me everything. I let him do whatever he wanted because I was sure that I was doing right. He took care of me as if I was a very precious thing. Yes, I was really precious for him. The atmosphere heated up as we both gave up eachother. Lust filled us both along with love. The door was closed the light was dim and the stars and moon in the sky were visible through the balcony's glass door. As he wished he got me, got me as his forever. No man ever claimed me but now he became the first man to take me, and own me completely including my soul, my heart and my body. We both became each other's first and last.

After a long wonderful night we both laid on the bed feeling eachother's presence and we both were tired too. I felt safe and protected in his hands which were wrapped around my bare body. We both were shy, especially me who couldn't even make an eye contact. I was laying back facing him but he made me turn around and face him. I wasn't looking at him, I could feel my cheeks burning up in the thought of what we have just done. My red cheeks earned a small giggle from Richard and then he lifted my chin to look at my eyes.

"My love, I promise you. I will keep you happy, I will never let anyone or anything harm you. You're mine, completely mine." He swore and I gave him a soft smile and said in a low voice as a whisper.

"I love you too."

I saw Richard's eyes widening. It was the first ever time I said I love you to him. He felt happy. Looks like that happiness was more than what he feels while killing his enemies. He tucked my hair behind my ears and caressed my soft chubby cheeks as he continued talking.

"You're a gift to me. My only hope and my only reason to live now." My heart skipped a beat because of his sweetness and firmness I felt with each and every word he spoke. I then brought my hands to his hairs, caressing them as I said.

"Hold me tight, Richard. Next time even if I want to leave you, you must not let me go." He kissed my forhead hearing that.

"I will never leave you, my wife." He replied with a soft smile. Likewise we both slept hugging each other.

The next morning the sun came lighting up our room. I was already awake and was admiring my wife's innocent sleeping face. I smiled and kissed all over her face which made her wake up with a grin. I was amused by the fact at last I made her mine, fighting all the obstructions in our way. She opened her eyes, squinting it and slowly adjusting it to the light. She saw me looking at her, it made her shy. She hid her face in my chest which made me chuckle at her cuteness.

"You're so cute, my love." I said.

"He he he I know. You've been looking at me from when, huh?"

"From so long my dear." I replied as I stroked her head.

"Aish, why were you staring at me?" She asked.

"I can't take my eyes of you, darling." I answered softly.

"Mmm hmm." She hummed as response.

"Wifey." I called.

"Yes?"

"So at last you accepted it." I said with an appealing wide smile.

"Accepted what?" She asked locking her eyes with mine in doubt.

"That you're my wife." I said blissfully.

"Ha ha ha, you see this mangalsutra in my neck? How can I deny it, Richard?" She stated.

"I'm sorry again for everything." I said in guilt of forcing her to this marriage.

"The greatest cruel mafia king is apologising to me, huh? I can't believe it but it's ok, Richard. You love me a lot, now I understood it wasn't fake." She told me with a smile making me wonder what I did to deserve an angel like her.

"I love you for real, Kritika. You're my everything and yes, I'm on my knees for you and only you. Infront of you I'm just a normal human." She smiled to my response and snuggled more to me.

"But you do have to compensate for your mistakes, for making me feel miserable, for making me hate you, for making me doubt you."

"I will elucidate it all,honey."

"Yes, Richard. Well you see, I don't want to move away from you. I want to stay with you, Richard. Look how peaceful life is now. But-" Kritika couldn't complete her sentence.

"I know, my sweetie. I guarantee you, I will sort out everything and we will live together happily."

"Yes, I trust you."
