The Maze ✔️

chapter 9

Sonia's pov

I don't know how to describe it but Dev is different from all the men I have met in my life; we have spent a lot of time together yet, I can't seem to predict his next move.

The way he killed John the other day without even flinching, I mean I'm used to the killing but he scares me.

My feelings for him are making me crazy, I mean he's not the perfect person to fall for but I do love him.

it's late and he isn't back yet, he said he won't take long but here I'm waiting.

A few hours later, I heard the gate opening. He barked the car and walked in with blood on his hands and shirt.

"Dev, what the hell happened? You're not shot, are u?" I asked as I hurried to him.

"No, that's not my blood, sweetheart." He said, walking towards his room like what happened is ok!

He went for a shower, and while I was losing my nerves, he came out with a bathrobe, of course. His V line is on display.

He frowned when he saw the worried look on my face. "What's the matter? "

I sighed. "Are u asking me? What the hell happened? I thought u said this deal is a piece of cake! " I said

"it was sweetheart,  but then the police came out of nowhere and I had to step up, it's of their blood and I'm upset that one was among my favourite shirts," he said casually.

And I have had enough

"Will u stop making fun of everything? I was worried about u.. I thought.." I said, trying to hide the break in my voice.

The look in his eyes changed. It's like he didn't expect me to say that.

"I thought u were mad because I wasted the deal,  not because you're scared for me sweetheart,  but don't worry they will have to try harder if they want to kill me," he said wiping tears she didn't notice there and went to change.

Sonia, on the other hand, needed a few minutes to make sure her heart was beating normally in her chest.

"What is he doing to me !" She spoke to herself.

Later, he said he would like to cook for her tonight. After what happened, he's in the mood to cook!

Anyway, she watched him as he prepared pasta sitting on the stool.

He was getting this and that, and she got to admit he looked hot while cooking.

She got off the stool and went up to him wanting to taste pasta sauce, but he didn't let her.

"A queen like u is not allowed here, sweetheart. u will have it once it's ready, hm?" He said sweetly yet managed to send a shiver down her spine.

She started "But..I," and he gave her a warning look.

"Fine, hurry up then because I'm starving," she said, sitting back on the stool.

"As u wish,"

Later, both of them were at the dinner table enjoying the meal

"That's so yum. Where did u learn to cook like that ?" She asked

"I lived alone for a long time when I was studying and had to learn a thing or two." He said.

She smiled "Well it paid off."

He finished eating and took a few sips of his wine, of course, his eyes never leaving her.

"Why are u staring at me like that ?" She asked him, trying to hide the blush on her face.

" Let's say I have been dealing with ugly people all night, and you're beautiful to look at, sweetheart. " He said

"Did u think of leaving this life? ; I thought about it every day being married to Rohit, u know

She noticed him tensing up but still trying to be composed

"Nope, besides, it's not an option anymore." He said

"It's strange of saying u don't have the option, I thought one like u can do whatever he wants. " she said

And the cold laugh is back again, which made her shiver.

"I can, but it turned out that me trying to live in another way is impossible. Ask me, sweetheart, I know. "

At midnight on her bed, she wished they both can change their lives and really live together.
