Loving the Hell King

Chapter 22

"Troy..."I called him in  a sleepy whisper since I was still half asleep.

He slowly turned towards me but when I looked into his eyes it was totally dark which is not at all good.

"What happened?  Why did you break the frame? Did you accidentally drop It?" I asked him. He started walking towards me.

He sat down on his knees so that he was in face level with me.

"How many times I have to tell you that you are mine and I won't allow anyone else to come between us? Still you went to see that boy.What is he to you? Do you love him?" He uttered each of those words with gap making it sound so calm but you can easily understand the threat in it. It is just like the calm before the storm. I suddenly feared of Sam's well being.

I took his face between my hands and stared into his eyes.

"Troy look into my eyes and say do you see my love for you?I don't love anyone else other than you. Sam is my  childhood best friend and I have a different kind of love for him just like I have for any other family member. But the love I have for you cannot be compared with no other. By doubting me you are insulting my feelings , don't you understand that? You will ruin our relationship with your jealousy because it will make me hide things from you."

His eyes started to return back to his original  colour. He sighed and kept his forehead over mine and put his hands on my hear. I could hear his slow breathing.

" I am sorry that I have made you upset. I trust you a lot it is just that I fear of losing you. You have no idea how long I have waited for you and when finally I have found you I fear of losing you. " He slowly ran his hands through my hair which made me purr. I heard a low growl coming from his chest.

Within minutes I was lying under him as he has pinned me down on the bed. But before things could go farther I shoved him off and ran off to the bathroom. Just before closing the door I stuck my tongue out at him.

"That's for breaking my beautiful photoframe" I shouted at him. I heard a groaning sound and laughed to myself.

When I came out of the bathroom he was still sitting on the bed. But I saw another person sitting and to my surprise it was none other than my mom and to my horror she was showing him my childhood photos telling him stories . I saw him smiling at her.

I stomped towards them." Mom!!" I groaned. You couldn't find anything else to embarrass me.

" Come on Eva ..I was just telling him how much of a stubborn kid you were when you were a child. You know Troy..." she continued turning towards Troy

" She use to get punishments everyday in her school for doing something bad to her teacher.Whenever I asked her she will reply because she gave her less marks. That was her excuse . Can u even imagine sticking chewing gum in the teacher"s chair. We use to have a  guardian call almost every week." I saw amusement in his eyes.

" And she was never alone while doing so. Sara and Sam will always be there with her. But she will be the mastermind. They are just her blind followers." Both of them started laughing. I don't know what they found so funny.

" Mom I am going downstairs." I stomped on the stairs to make them know that I am actually annoyed with them. As if they care.

I went to the kitchen to make something. I  end up making some noodles and grabbed a coke from the fridge. I sat infront of the tv watching some songs. Still no  sign of them. I am getting more annoyed with time. I have no idea  what the hell they are talking about.

After about an hour my mom came downstairs accompanied by Troy. I pretended that I haven't seen and continued watching tv. My father still haven't returned from his work. My mom went to their room and Troy came and sat near me.

"Hey babe." Troy came and kissed my cheek. I just ignored him and kept watching.  He chuckled at my reaction.

" Come on Eva your mom was just giving me THE TALK. We were having a mother in law and son in law bonding. Aren't you suppose to be Happy?" He asked me with an accusing expression. I pouted at him.

" But she was telling you all the embarrassing stories of mine. How is that suppose to make me happy? " I narrowed my eyes at him. He just smirked at me.

"By the way both of us agreed that the wedding should be next week. I am having lot of trouble doing hell hell and earth often. All my works are getting piled up. Sooner you wI'll be with me the better it will be." I don't know suddenly his words gave me goosebumps. I knew that it was bound to happen but when reality hits you it is really scary.

I have to leave everything here and have to go with him to hell. I have no idea how much my life is going to change. So many sacrifices I can't even imagine. But I know one thing that I love Troy and I don't want a life without him. But for getting a single love I am going to lose so much. Does it even worth it? Suddenly it occurred to me how different my life would have been if I fell for Sam and we got married to each other. I could have kept everything.

" What are you thinking?" Troy asked me bringing me out of my thoughts.

" Nothing. It's just that everything is happening so soon." I told him slowly.

" Are you having second thoughts about marrying Me? Even if you are having it don't worry because wherever you are I will drag you to the alter and marry you." He said me in a dark tone.

I looked at him and wondered am I even ready to marry such a man. His mood switches from time to time. How am I even going to cope up with his mood swings? From childhood my parents has always given me priority but with him it's just the opposite. He had changed me in so many ways. I always give his wishes as my priority instead of mine.  I mean you have to sacrifice a lot if you are in love but isn't it a bit too much... I wondered to myself. Oh my god I guess am having cold feet. Do I even want to get married.

Suddenly the bell rang bringing me out of my thoughts. I went to open the door. My father returned from office. As soon as he saw Troy he smiled.

Troy got up from the sofa and greeted him. He told he has some work and left. My mom came out of the room and asked me

" Where did he Go? I thought he is going to stay for dinner." She asked sadly.

" He had some work mom that is why." I told her.

" By the way I was just making the guest list for your wedding Eva. So little time left and we have so much to do."She said excitedly.

My father looked down at her with confusion written all over his face.

" What do you mean?" He asked to my mother.

" Troy has decided that the marriage should take place by next week. He told he will be busy for the next few months with different clients. " My mom told him.

" And you never thought of consulting me or Nick for that matter. Don't we have any say in this. I have so much dreams for my daughter' s wedding but most of all I am not ready to leave her so soon. How could you even agree with him?"He screamed at my mom which made flinch.

"Calm down honey. Go freshen up first we will talk about this after that." My dad went to his room muttering under his breath.

I looked at mom." How could you agree  to it mom?"

"Look Eva that boy loves you and that is what matters to me. You have to accept the fact that he is your soul mate and I have seen the way he looks at you. I am your mother and I would have warned you if that guy wasn't good enough for you. He is just perfect honey. As for your dad and brother I know how to control them. You don't have to worry about it. Sooner you get married to him then he will be able to take care of you.I want someone who can look after you and he is exactly  that person." I saw tears in my mom's eyes.

" But mom he is so confusing . I am scared what if I regret marrying him." I asked her.

"Eva, all guys are confusing. Do you think your brother and father are not? And about regretting later I should tell you that it can happen with anyone else  you get married to that doesn't mean you shouldn't take the risk. Take the chance and try to make it work. "My mother told me. I nodded my head and went to my room.

That night Troy  didn't visit me. Which made me think where is he? Am I missing him? I feel incomplete without him. I think he is worth  taking the risk. Aftr all I have fallen for the hell king.
