MARRIED TO THE MOB BOSS

Chapter 23

Oliver's pov

I woke up wrapped in warm arms while my back was resting on a hard, comfortable chest. I turned around to see my husband still asleep. I silently thanked him for giving me painkillers in advance cause I felt great ... I internally cringed at the hangover I would have right now had it not been for him.

I starred at him with a small smile on my face as I admired his handsome face . He's just so good-looking.

"Take a picture it will last longer,"he said in his deep voice .I flinched from fear as I had thought he was sleeping. "Dont do that," I said as a playfully pinched his bicep. "Ouchhhhhhhhhh baby, you know I'm sensitive,"he said in an over exaggerated whine. I just laughed at his childishness before kissing his cheek.

"How about we order breakfast then take a bath?"he suggested. "No gym today?" I asked . "Nope, I wanna spend all my time with you, plus we have to talk."he said with a small smile . My smile fell, and my nervousness reflected on my face .

" Hey, calm down, okay? we are trying to put all that past us, and the only way to do that is to talk it out and understand each other, " he said, sensing the change in my attitude. "Okay... I-I want to fix this, too ... I'm tired of whatever has been going on between us it makes me sad, and I dont want to feel like that anymore. " I said honestly.

"Okay then, we'll talk it out, but first we need to take a nice relaxing shower togather ". And that's what we did . After our little conversation, we ordered breakfast and showered while we waited for it to arrive. After showering, the food arrived, and we ate together in a comfortable silence.

After eating, Malikai loaded the dish washer while I packed up the kitchen . He finished before me, so he made his way to the living room while I finished packing up.

I was purposely packing up slowly because I was avoiding the conversation we were scheduled to have . This is the conversation that could make or break our relationship, and I was scared .

"Baby, come here," said Malikai as he called from the living room. Malikai knew me well enough to know I was stalling. I walked slowly into the living room, and malikai patted his thighs, indicating I take a seat .

I straddled his thighs as he wrapped his strong arms around my waist ."I'll go first,"he said as we looked each other in the eyes ." I didn't really want to marry Justina. My mom wanted me to, but I  was against it. Well, that was until Justina came to me and threatened  me about some information that she had on my illegal business dealings .

She's a blubber mouth, and the only way to keep an eye on her was to ask her to move in with me and as to not make it suspicious I had to pretend we were gonna get married. I promise you and swear on my life, baby. I didn't touch Justina, let alone have sex with her . You are all I could think about and how much I was hurting you .

That day you disappeared was the day I had decided seeing you hurt wasn't what I  wanted, so I was gonna tell you the truth, but it was too late, and John had gotten you. After you went missing, I  spent every second of my day trying to find you ... you are the most important person in my life, and the thought of losing you forever scared me .

I'm so sorry, baby .I'm sorry about the pain and hurt my lies put you through. I'm sorry for not being honest about what was going on from the very beginning. Im sorry for making you feel insecure about being a boy and being unable to give me kids. I'm so sorry, darling, and I really hope that one day you can forgive me, " said Malikai.

I had begun crying at this point as this was a very emotional topic for me . That was an extremely tough time in our relationship, and the thought of everything that happened broke me.

"Are you being honest?"I asked as he wiped my tears away. "As honest as I possibly be doll,"he said as I saw tears brimming at his beautiful dark eyes."Okay, then I forgive you for everything,"I said sincerely. I wanted to move past that horrible time."Thank you,"he said as I wiped away his tears .

"Okay, so I guess it's my turn now." I said before taking my bottom lip in between my lips ."When the kidnapping happened, I was on my way to my dads house... I was escaping from the situation that was going on here . Then John got me and started molesting me. When all this happened, I was already angry at you, so the more john hurt me, the  more my resentment grew .

I hated everything that john did, but I couldn't help feeling that it was your fault ... had you not cheated with Justina, I wouldn't have left, and I wouldn't have gotten kidnapped. When you saved me, I was happy, but the feelings of resentment didn't go away ... I felt like a part of me was taken my john, and it was your fault ...

So that's why I said all those hurtful things that  night ... I promise I didn't mean them Daddy they just came out from all the built-up anger, and I'm sorry for not considering your emotions and apologizing sooner . I mean, you've done everything to ensure that I feel comfortable and loved even after everything that has happened, and I go and say things like that.

Im so sorry Daddy please forgive me ... I love you, and I don't want to live with you and your love, " I  said . We had both begun crying, and it was just a very emotional  moment. "Off course I forgive you, princess,"he said as he killed my forehead .

"I love you,"I said while sniffling. "I love you too," he said with a loving tone . We stayed cuddled up on the couch as we enjoyed each other's company and warmth . I loved this man with my whole heart.
