"How much dangerous can they be?" He knew what she meant,
"Visfot your whole neighbourhood for the starters."
She froze,
Cold blood drained from her veins.
"What?" The unbelievable Question escaped her lips in a ghostly whisper.
'They are fourth powerful and this deathly!?'
"Shh, Baby. I'm here." He wiped her tears which leaked.
"What to do callen? I don't know anymore! Why? How? Why me!?" She started shaking her head.
"You cannot go back to your house again." He said,
She sobbed,
The next part.
He had to say it,
He will try to be as sad as his acting skills may help. It is everyday life to him. He isn't normally surprised, but she's a normal girl, new to this, he had to sympathize with her,
"Besides" he took a deep breath in. "The Notarios have burnt down your house." He didn't need to show her the proof of it which he had in his pocket, crumbled. It's enough grief.
"What!?" She almost jumped, he threw his arms around her to steady her, she shivered, sobbed, cried hysterically, he could only rub her back and wipe her.
He felt the pricking warmth of her, it enraged him against the ones who caused her grief.
He had warned huge to stay away.
Both were stubborn.
"Tell me it's not true! Fuckin Tell me callen!!" She fisted his shirt which was soaked her tears, shaking him.
"I'm sorry baby," He nuzzled into her neck. "I'm sorry."
Suddenly she broke away. "Callen! My..my Child! Callen! Kai!! My baby. I- I have to go!" She panicked, the mother in her kicking up,
"No!" He announced sternly. Loud enough that it gets into her throbbing head.
Her chest heaved up and down, her eyes not getting normal,
"Callen-"
"No! You. Will. Not. Leave!" He said rather tensely,
Resonant he barked, probably the fear.
She stopped.
"You go out, They know. Whoever you meet, They'll kill. They don't care."
"To keep people safe. You should not meet them."
"Then you?" She pointed at him.
'I'm living under his roof. He's risking his family for me?'
"We are second most infamous mafia, for the more, it'll turn into a bloody war, but I promise I will keep you alive till the end." He engulfed her hands in his.
She wasn't calm yet, He sensed her fears.
"What about the hospital? Can I contact them?"
"No. No need" he said being authoritative.
She knew her assistant will cover up and junior doctors were there. She's one of the non-active members of the boards. Her absence is always excused.
Her in-law in touch cherishes her, understands her.
She didn't cared much but it was kai she wanted to contact.
Her heart couldn't find peace without that.
Callen sighed, who had calculated and ana
"He brought me back because Hugo had signed out of the few major companies run mainly by the family, Notarios are not fool. They keep tabs on who he spends the night with, who he meets and you are famous in quite places too," he directed to the beach, one of the place where clean side business is only done. She felt embarrassed, " you are spotted with too much to deny. First they tried to talk him out, when that didn't work they sent him on missions, so he'd realise who he is, when that didn't work, the only option left left for them is to eliminate you."
"Do you understand the gravity of the situation?"
He completed his explanation,
This was best he could do to make her realise of what had unknowingly happened by her and how much disastrous it can be from now on.
"Does hugo knows of the mess he caused?"
"He took the risk. Now he's on the run. He is suffering but his family will take care of that. He will be back to what he had been."
'He is not important right now, correct. Basically he is a puppet of his family. He can't be saved.
That should be least of my concerns when I'm in the ditch myself.'
"Callen, I-I need time. I want to be alone.. please." Moist eyes, flushed cheeks..she swallowed hard.
Her vacant stares alarmed him. He thought it was best to leave her alone for the time being.
The walked her back up.
She was blinking back her tears the whole time, he kept notice but didn't said anything.
"I don't get another room?"
'This house is so big, there must be at least one vacant guest room?"
"Get use to living with me from now on." He said through gritted teeth.
He felt hurt. He buried his pain in an apologetic smile, she's going through more than him.
'I stands in this house because of him. He'd said 'this family will accept you.', he never said I can trust them. I'm more safe with him, in his room than anywhere else.'
She smiled back. Pure gratitude flashing her features.
He felt rewarded.
Grabbing the chance he Kisses her forehead and went downstairs ensuring she locked the door shut once inside.
