MARRIED TO THE MOB BOSS

Chapter 39

Malikai's pov

I've never seen oliver so angry. Even when we had arguments, he's never been this violent. Had I not pulled him back, leah would be laying in a hospital bed as we speak.

The incident happened a week ago, and something about oliver isn't right. He's acting different, and I dont know why because his family has officially moved out and  into the house we bought them because we are many things, but heartless monsters isnt one of them.

I was deep in thought when the door to my office opened, startling me."You seem like you in a whole other universe in thoughts" said Vincent, making me chuckle.

"Well, I just have a lot going on in my mind right now," I  said honestly. "What's wrong? Would you like to talk about it?"." Aggg, it's just oliver had a burst of anger last week, and he almost beat up his sister, and ever since then, he's not been the same," I said, concerned.

"Well, maybe there's something bothering him ... have you tried speaking to him? " he asked me."yes everyday but he just changes the topic he said he's stressed about opening his restaurant, but I dont think that's the complete truth," I said honestly.

"Maybe the mood when you ask him isn't usually good. Try asking him when he's calm and relaxed." Vincents words made me think maybe I should set the mood.

A wide smile spread across my face as an idea came to mind. "I'm assuming you have something planned by the smile on your face," said Vincent, smirking."Ohhh, you have no idea."

When the clock struck 12 in the afternoon, I packed my stuff and left the office. I want to prepare some things for oliver so I can set the mood and make him feel better.

I passed by the florist and mall on my way home to buy some flowers, chocolates and a gift for oliver. I want him to feel extra special tonight  cause seeing  him so unhappy breaks my heart.

When I got home I changed and started with the food. I pulled out every recipe book I owned and watched every YouTube video I could  find so I could make oliver one of his favorite  meals.

After 4 hours of crying from onions and other cooking related pains, I was finally done. I don't know how to cook on my own, so the few times I do, oliver appreciates it.

By the time I finished all the preparation, including making our house pretty, oliver was on his way back. He was viewing some stores that he could open his restaurant at, so he's probably exhausted.

After I finished showering, I wore sweat pants and a t-shirt. When I heard the door to the house open, I rushed to oliver."Good evening, my love," I said, taking his bags from him."Umm, good evening," said oliver, slightly confused.

I led him upstairs, and when we arrived, I handed him the flowers and gifts that were on the bed." Whats all this?" he asked while looking around, amused. "It's our indoor date, night," I answered, making him giggle before he peacked my lips.

"Thank you," he said said before sitting on the bed. I kneeled down in front of him and took off his heels. His beautiful pedicured toes were finally free. I rubbed his feet, slightly pulling his toes to relieve the tension.

He moaned in relief as he threw his head back slightly. "This feels good," he said in a voice of relief.

After that, he changed and showered. We then ate my amazing, well cooked dinner, which my husband was impressed by. He was relaxed and calm and I liked that a lot.

As we sat cuddled on the bed watching cartoons, I realized that this was my chance."Baby," I called."hmmmm," he hummed from my chest."Are you okay?" I asked, looking down at him."Yeah," he answered, not so convincingly.

"Tell me the truth, love," I said with the same gentle voice. " it's leah," he finally said after a few seconds of silence. "What did she do?" I asked softly. He went quiet for a while before finally speaking.

"She said the same thing to me that your mom said a year ago...that I would never satisfy you and make you happy forever eventually you going to want things from me that only a woman can give you and i-i.." he choked as he began crying.

I pulled him to my lap and comforted him."Baby, I promise you those people dont know what they are talking about. I want you and you alone, and I dont care what they say. If I wanted things that only women could give me, I would be with a woman  but I'm with you because you give me everything I want and more, " I said honestly.

I didn't think my mom's words from so long ago would stick with him like they did. My biggest fear is him spending our entire marriage worried about this.

"I hope you mean that," he said as he looked at me with a pout , pink wet cheeks , wet eyelashes, and stray tears falling down his cheeks. He looked so fucken adorable.

"I promise you, baby. I dont want anyone but you. You are everything I want and I love you so fucken much" I said making him smile." I love you too" he said giggling adorably.

That night I slept peacefully knowing Oliver was okay. Its one thing to see your partner sad but being unable to bring them joy is a pain that cuts deep.

Seeing someone you love feel unappreciated and like they are not good enough for you is so heart breaking. I hope he knows just how much he means to me.

Oliver's pov

It's been a few weeks since my interaction with leah and my heart to heart chat with Malikai, and I feel so much better. I honestly just want to put my family drama behind me and focus on the life I'm trying to build for myself.

In order to maintain my peace , sanity,  joy, and happiness kai and I have decided it's best that he deals with my "family" from now on. I will no longer be in contact with them, and that makes me feel relieved.

I cranked up the radio in my car as lana del Ray blusted through the speakers.  I had just finished viewing an amazing space that had been newly renovated. The location was literally perfect, as well as the layout of the place and the materials used.

I loved it, and out of all the spaces I've viewed, this is the perfect one. It's slightly out of my budget, but it's worth every penny, and I can't wait for my husband to see it cause I know he'll like it.

Being on a journey  of opening my own restaurant feels like a dream come true. I am so happy at how everything it just turning out these past few weeks. I hope to be this happy forever.
