Chanel

I love you

  Luca's pov:

I was absolutely fuming with anger. I kicked open the house door, Chanel in my arms. I promised myself i wouldn't be a killer in her eyes. But when that man tried to attack her, i felt like a beast in me was unleashed. Just the sight of her all bloody and bruised made me want to let the whole world burn, just to help her.  I needed to find out who wanted my wife dead and why. The first on my list was Hernandez. Diego Hernandez. I know Chanel's knows a lot about it him, she just refuses to talk. But she will have to eventually.

"It hurts." Was all she said and i felt my blood boil.

"I know, but i need to sanitise your cuts" Antonio said and continued his work, with Chanel occasionally hissing in pain.

"What were you thinking when you called a cab. You could've called me, or Giovanni.."

"I thought you were mad!"

"I was mad, but not that mad!"

"Well i'm sorry that i thought i should give you some space!"

"I don't need no fucking space. I need answers, but no! You always need to act like a cold stubborn ass bitch! We can't even have a normal discussion without you whining or getting mad at something!"suddenly she got silent and Antonio looked at me with a disapproving look.

"I told you. Don't expect to manage to change me because of a stupid fake marriage. Don't like it? Then end the deal!" She said in a colder voice.

"Antonio, give us a moment." I said trying not to sound like i will rip his fucking head off if he didn't. He got up quietly and left the room.

"I apologise for what i said . I was mad, because i was afraid. "

"Afraid? Of what?"

"When i made that contract, i wasn't thinking anything about you. Just my reputation and bussines. Now the only thing that pops up in my head when i think about it, is protecting my family. Which you and Aiden are part off. I was scared of losing you, Chanel. That thought fucking kills me. Destroys me. I can't loose you, because-"

"I love you." I said and she suddenly stopped moving. Letting her eyes pierce through me. Waiting for any sign that this was a joke. But i was dead serious. "I can't help you, if you don't talk. And you need to understand that." I said and she eyed me up and down before sighing keeping a neutral face.

"Diego Hernandez. He killed my parents. The driver talked about him. He knew him. And he was planning to bring me to him." She said and my fists clenched. I knew that he seemed to know Chanel. But it never occurred to me that he was the killer of her loved ones.

"I will avenge you. And protect you and Aiden. I promise! Get some rest." I said and walked towards the door.

"Thank you..for saving me." She said and i simply nodded leaving her to rest.

I will kill anyone who dares to lay a finger on her. Diego wants war. He'll have one!
