The Maze ✔️

chapter 14

Dev's POV

it's been a year since we got married, and since I started working in real estate things have been so easy compared to when I was running the underworld.

Leo is still shocked about my decision but completely supports me.

"You do realise that your past won't leave u like that right? "

Leo said as we were in the office working.

"Of course, I'm aware, I only changed my work, Leo, not my personality,  my enemies always suffer trying to keep up with me ."

I said and Leo laughed he's the only person Who can discuss my decisions with me between all the guys working for me.

"You're so full of yourself,  the only one who can put u in place is Sonia. "

I smirked

"She's my wife of course I will make compromises for the love of my life. "

He said that's when Sonia came in

"Compromises!,  You should thank God every day that I'm tolerating your mood swings since u have started your new work.  Right, Leo? "

She said and Leo nodded trying not to laugh again.

"Sweetheart!, why do u keep doing that? "

Dev said throwing the papers on the desk  gesturing for Leo to leave.

Once Leo left he frowned

"Enjoying yourself ?"

Sonia warped her arms around his neck.

"Come on Dev, you know that I'm so proud of you for doing that and I will be there to support you fully aware of how difficult is it for you. "

He stared into her eyes for a few seconds before connecting their lips in a passionate Kiss.

Once out of breath, they pulled back.

"I love you,  you inspired me to do, to be a better person,  thank you sweetheart thank you. "

"I love you too Dev, you're the most precious gift in my life. "

She said and he smiled showing off his dimples.

"Nobody has ever called me a gift before I'm usually a nightmare. "

He said and she laughed

"That's right too "

She said and he was speechless.

Later Dev , Sonia and Leo was in the spacious living room.

"Leo what did u order? " Sonia asked as she went on Flipping between the channels .

"Cheeseburgers and Pizza just like You said. "

"You're the best, Dev is driving me crazy with healthy homemade food ."

Sonia said when Dev came back after finishing his phone call by the balcony.

"I heard that by the way ! , those are bad for you and You know it ."

He said seriously.

" I'm aware dear and I like your cooking but I'm craving junk food at the moment. "

She said making him frown and Sonia kissed his cheek.

"You worry way too much , junk food once in a while won't hurt. "

She said given him her best puppy eyes look .

He smiled

"Okay you win this time. "

"Yay!" She shouted when all of them heard the doorbell.

"Looks like the food is here,  I will get it ."

Leo said and left the leaving room towards the front door.

Sonia's pov

Leo didn't come back yet so I went to check what's taking him so long.

At the door step Leo was laying down and holding into his arm .

"OMG , what happened Leo , are You OKAY? "

I asked helping him inside.

"Sonia,  what happened? "

Dev asked

I helped Leo towards the long couch in the room.

" I'm sorry You didn't get your food Sonia. " Leo said.

"Don't worry about that Leo. " Sonia said as she worked on Leo's wound.

" is he going to be okay Sonia?"

Dev asked worried about his friend

"Yea , it isn't that bad or else I would have called doctor Vikram ."

Dev sighed in relief .

"What happened Leo , who was it ?"

" I opened the door and who was supposed to be a delivery guy attacked me trying to get inside,  we fought and he managed to hurt me and ran away before I could call anyone , I'm sorry sir. "

"Leo it's not your fault,  clearly somebody from my past is missing me and sent me a massage with that jerk. "

Dev said thoughtful.

Sonia sighed knowing that this was bound to happen their previous life won't leave them that easy.

Later Dev and Sonia left Leo to rest after making sure he Was OK and instead of Dev going to bed with Sonia he changed quickly getting ready to leave.

"Dev , where are u going at this hour? "

Sonia asked

"I'm getting into the bottom of this tonight,  I won't let you or anyone be in danger because of a business I haven't finish. "

He said and Sonia didn't have time to protest because he walked out not giving her the chance to.

The next day and by the first hours of the morning Sonia woke up to find Dev laying next to her .

She wondered where or with who he dealt last night.

She kissed his cheek and got off the bed rushing to shower.

during that she couldn't stop feeling worried about them will a day come when they never have to worry?

Suddenly she felt kisses being placed on her neck.

"Morning sweetheart, I hope u don't mind me joining you. "

He whispered and she smiled getting the usual shivers whenever  he spoke to her like that .

Turning her to face him he could see thoughts running through her mind.

"My love, I have said it before and I'm saying it again,  I won't let anything happen to you,  you're save with me ."

He said and she nodded before Dev pressed his lips against hers with so much intensity.

Sonia's hands moved over Dev's wet skin, exploring the contours of his body as if every touch was a revelation. Dev's fingers gently traced the curve of her neck, down to her collarbone, igniting a trail of shivers. Their hearts beat in rhythm as the shower's warmth intensified their connection.

As the steam swirled around them, they shared whispered words of affection, their voices barely audible over the sound of the water. It was a moment of complete vulnerability, where their love for each other was expressed not just in their touch but in the depths of their gazes. In that private space, they found solace and an unbreakable bond that transcended words.
