The Masked Man

Six

Ethan POV:

I was blocking her from leaving, my body and mind forced me to not let her go. It was bringing me flashbacks to when my mother left me as I had my father in my arms.

She refused to help me, so watching her leave hurt my heart even if I just met her. Something about her was different, I felt at peace by her side.

The way she was looking up at me because she was small and cute, she had doe eyes filled with so much. I didn't know if it was pain or happiness, they confused me so much.

Then her moms faced popped up telling me something " I may not like you but your the only trusting one of all, never let Milo get hands on her"
Y/n kept calling my name but I had zoned out.

Ethan- go back to sleep it's late.
Y/n- okay fine

I watched her leave and her aura was strong too. I made my way to my office where I had my people inform me on things that were happening.

Assistant- Milo is on the search, threatening everyone. He's not gonna let you have her. It's time for you to show respect.
Ethan- is that the message he left for me?
Assistant- yes sir

Milo can't put everyone against me that would be impossible for me to manage not that I'm afraid. I know what he's capable of, my own mother could go against me too.

I need y/n to sign it, so we can be protected by the laws too. The house was protected from afar and close so anyone unknown stepping foot on my property can be killed.

I made sure y/n was in her room sleeping and thankfully she was.
    " i promised to protect you, so do the same for me"
Some time in the future she can know.

Anyone who's knows y/n is back may attempt to kill jet knowing she's not signed. Not in my power would that happen, they think their going up against some loser.

Their excuse always is I'm not mentally stable but because I was left alone it caused me trauma and sadness. I was prepared for the best and worst, but I needed her by my side.

Maid- Sir?
Ethan- yes?
Maid- oh I brought all the things you asked for lady y/n
Ethan- okay thank you place them by her bed

I was tired myself so I went to my room and tried to sleep.
    I kept dreaming of that day I killed my father. The look on my mothers face is what haunted me, I have saved her but she paid me back like this.

Mother- you're not my son....

I cried in my sleep.

Next day
I woke up early and got ready, I headed to y/ns room  where she was still sleeping. Or had her eyes closed, was she's pretending.

Ethan- I know you're awake.

She didn't reply instead just opened her eyes looking out the window, " can I go see my parents?" She asked as she broke down so suddenly.

I couldn't see her cry it brought back flashbacks to me but I knew I had to stay strong for her.
" let's take you to sign it and then we can go see them" I think that made her feel better since she gave me a half smile.

Ethan- I got you clothes, take your time.
Y/n- thank you

I got out the room and shut the door for her to get ready. I didn't want to tell her myself they were going to get killed, the main people were waiting for our arrival and then kill them.

The worst part is in front of her too. Laws were laws and seeing her broken would only bring more sadness to me, we would need to help each other.

After she was done she came out and she looked really pretty, she had put her hair up.
  I went slowly got closer to her and reached behind her to take the hair clip out. She looked at me confused as to why I did it.

Ethan- you look pretty with your hair down

And the way her hair fell down to her shoulders made her even more prettier. I think I made her nervous since her cheeks got red.

She turned away and told me to go away but I chuckled. I realized how nice I was being to her, once again there's something different about her.

We ate breakfast Quick and headed to the court of law building. Everyone was so shocked to see y/n she was the last of all to have the mark.

What shocked them more was to see her with me. Everyone gained hatred towards me because my mother filled them with lies.

We got to the room and signed

Old man- Kim Y/n with royal blood has signed the papers. I would expect to see you with Milo not this jerk.

I sighed really trying not to say anything to this man especially since he's old. But he kept going mentioning all of my weaknesses to y/n. Surely after this she would run away.

I got up from my seat and grabbed him by the collar, " who are you to judge me? To go out telling my business, did you forget who I am?"

I was yelling so loud this old man had nothing to say, I let go and he sat back down apologizing. I liked over to y/n who looked surprised to see me acting like this.

I felt embarrassed so I stormed out the room.

Y/n POV

I thought it was very rude for this man to be telling someone's past and business on blast like that. Good that Ethan out him in his place, but I was honestly shocked how scary he actually was.

That's why when he turned over to look at me he probably thought I was judging him. He stormed out the room before I could even call out his name the door had shut.

I got up and ran after him. " Ethan!" With the first call he stopped walking, I caught up to him

Y/n- what's wrong?
Ethan- I'm embarrassed, for the way I acted in there.
Y/n- don't be he deserved that! Good you defended yourself, you actually are scaeh and that's cool to me.
