CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEMy hands were ruffling her hair as her face was on my chest, with her naked body snuggling against mine, I felt unknown sensations happening in the pit of my stomach.
I am past the age of faking feelings and doing flings. Lying isn't my cup of tea either. I have and always been honest with whatever the matter is. So, there was no denying the sleeping beauty in my arms made my heart beat go wild and make me lose myself with just her one smile.
God…! I am crazily in love with this woman!
As much as I wanted to stay with her, I heard the small whimpers of my little lady, Nia. I got off the bed and headed toward Ishita's bedroom where I had kept her baby cradle. Nia was standing on the edge of the cradle, crying her heart out. I lifted her in my arms and she instantly quieted down.
She just needs my presence around her. One thing I have witnessed is that she can feel the uncertainty in the atmosphere, she cries only when she gets uncomfortable by the presence of the unknown.
I have seen her crying while pointing at walls and windows, though I bluntly admit the fact that there have been numerous murders that have happened here before and the killer is roaming free.
So, no doubt she might be seeing their bloody thirsty ghosts wanting to avenge their death. They weren't innocents so if not on earth I am probably gonna meet them in hell.
Jokes apart, I walked into the living room while Nia in my arms, we both should prepare a nice breakfast for her mother. Not that Liar of course. For Ishita. Sooner or later, I am gonna ask her to marry me. I know her reply, I know her parents reaction, I also know the risk of her knowing my deeds.
But when I ask myself do I even care or feel guilty for all the crimes I have committed so far? Abso-fucking-lutely not.
Call me a psycho in love, I don't give any flying fucks. I just need my lady love and my little lady to be with me forever no matter what it takes.
"Ishita?!" Came the owner of the ugliest voice came early this morning at my doorstep. I opened up and his glare met with mine, "What's your issue?"
"What's yours, officer?" I asked back. His gazes follows the baby girl silently watching the scene unfolding in front of her eyes, he sighs and lowers his tone out of embarrassment.
"Step aside, I need to talk to Ishita," He says, doing a silly attempt to walk past me inside, yet I didn't budge a bit.
"All you need is to hit a gym and get plastic surgery," As stupid as my sarcasm filled taunt was, I mentally laughed at the childish reaction he gave me, an eye roll and shoulder shrug.
"I am in no mood to have jokes, Wlyder, I don't even know why I am talking to you." He retorts, instantly, stopping the urge to fight back because…
"I am the owner of this place where you are standing, I have given the permission to use the highway not to show up at my front door like a thief," I said, I did want to offend this sensitive asshole but I had no time to deal with him.
Ishita might wake up anytime now and guess what? My plan to give her a surprise breakfast and treat her like a queen got squeezed under his leather shoes. I wish nothing more than to kill him.
But I am too lazy to deal with the body of an officer, because the first and last suspicion in his case would be me. I can assure you, he probably has mentioned my name everywhere across the wall of his office room. That's how much he is obsessed with me.
"I came here as a friend of Ishita, I've a right to talk to her, " He began the argument.
"As an owner of this property, I don't remember allowing visitors before I am informed about them, " I don't think anyone needs to peek inside his brain to see how hard he might be beating my ass up and taking Ishita away without her wish.
"Can you just stop it-" His childish scolding got interrupted when we both heard the voice of my future wife. Watching Hardy's monkey ass face turning into an expression of shock, hurt, betrayal, and crybaby all together was worth capturing but the reason why he looked that way made me curious enough to turn around.
Ishita standing on the last step of the stairs under nothing but a straight bed sheet across her body, she appeared sexy and very pleasing to my eyes. I know we both deserve maybe two or three rounds more of sex. Tho, she was just astounded to find one of her secret lovers present at my doorstep to disturb our peace.
"Hardy? What are you-" She tried to speak, instantly heading in our direction but she stopped when he raised his hand as an indication to stay where she was.
He checked her from top to bottom once again, leaving a heavy exhale. He spoke, "Get dressed, we'll talk in my office," He told her, assuming I will simply let her walk out of this door just like that in his words.
No way in hell.
"Oh, okay," She managed to let out a small mumble, sharing a glance with me, she walked upstairs, once I confirmed she was out of my sight, I turned my attention back to this annoying ass.
"She isn't going anywhere today, Hardy, you can leave, " I said, almost shutting the door at his face, however he stuck his feet between the lock, forcing me to reopen the door and see him.
"I am also her boss, arsehole. If she won't come, unfortunately I'll have to make her sign the resignation letter, and if she realized you're the reason behind this, I don't think she will forgive you anytime soon, choice is yours, Damien," He ended his statement not only by a safe threat, yet also with a challenge. And the way he smirks, I can bet he must've found something against me, otherwise there is no way he is going to tolerate me for this or vice versa.
"But don't presume you won just because I am letting her go with you,"
He laughed, inwardly finding it funny, "As if I need your permission,"
After this, you'll surely need permission for everything.
