Semua Bab Their Wife: Bab 81 - Bab 90

My body felt as if it had been grated over burning ambers and then run over by a train. My chest felt tight, and every breath that I inhaled felt forced. Lifting my head, my eyes collided with the rearview mirror, giving me a complete view of Ralph’s stoic face set in a deep scowl, brows furrowed deep in his thoughts. It took forever for me to calm down, and because of me, he was late—not that he cared anyway. Maybe I was too much. When my anger calmed down, I realised what I just did. Though I was expecting a beating, Alexei was gentle so was Ralph despite his deep scowl. Alexei even helped me get ready, there were no words exchanged between us. Even the two-piece tweed dress felt too tight, almost claustrophobic despite being designed by one of the best designers herself. My eyes were puffy and red, even the heavy amount of concealer wasn’t able to fix that. Ironic how I created a scene at the breakfast just because I didn’t want to go with Ralph. Now see, I was sitting in the

There were more than five men shooting at us from the side of the car that crashed into us. Ralph met my panicked gaze, something as concern swirled in his deep green eyes as he swallowed hard. He looked me like he was afraid for me. My heart squeezed but I pushed away the feeling. I just wanted to cry, cry till I pass out. He hissed when a bullet grazed past his bicep cutting the flesh. Still Ralph didn’t took his eyes away from me. The mere thought of losing him gnawed my insides. I was nothing without him or Killian or Alexei. They define me. But….“I love you, Rara. I love you so much, little mouse that I can not think straight anymore.” His confession took me off guard. His hand found way to my hair, his hair disheveled and so were mine, but he still managed to look ethereal and dangerous. Love…he loved me. I swallowed hard, the emotions blocking my air passage. He couldn’t….love me. His eyes held mine captive for a longest moment before he saw hesitancy in mine. He chuckled, s

I was consumed by guilt. I should have never stalled in that alley. I should have never doubted Ralph. How foolish. So incredibly foolish. Every cry of pain that escaped Ralph's mouth pierced through me like a blunt blade. It was entirely my responsibility that he got injured, and looking at Killian and Alexei's expressions, they were fully aware of it as well. I hate to admit it, but the feeling of freedom overwhelmed me for a brief moment until Ralph was held at gunpoint.I just couldn’t imagine Ralph’s father wanted him dead. “Now what the fuck happened?” Alexei’s cold eyes cut to me, the look in them made me shiver. I know I made a mistake, and need to fess up to it, but I was terrified of what may happen when I do. Alexei and Killian now see me as more than just a sex slave, they look at me like I was the centre of their mundane world. Like the only star that shone bright even though the sun was up. And what did I do? I betrayed them. Almost got Ralph killed. My eyes slowly wan

I woke up to sore limbs and sweet bitterness in my chest. The sun peeking through the windows told me it was already past noon. Strangely I was feeling better than I was feeling last night. The guilt still tripped my thoughts now and then but except for that, I was not feeling anything—not crane hatred I thought I felt for my captors. I just couldn’t believe that I almost…. cried just because Ralph was hurt because of me. Ralph. I looked to my side to find the beside empty. My hands automatically moved to the cold sheets and I rubbed the spot: I wish he was here so that I could see if he was alright. Sighing I pushed myself up, putting my hair in a messy bun and walked slowly to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and splashing my face with cold water, I decided to skip the shower since I was not feeling like taking one. The warm hoodie which smelled like Killian’s, I didn’t want to take it off. Walking barefoot, I stumbled to the

“That’s odd.” Killian frowned, staring at his phone. “Alessandro Vitale is still not here. And I can not track the men stalling him. Someone intruded our apartment less than an hour ago.”I got up, my pulse kicking up as my instincts go on full alert. “Who would try to breach the apartment like that? And why? Do you thinks it’s Alessandro? Antonio? Call Ralph.” “On it.” His face darkened as he stood up and head to the balcony where a sniper was placed, the phone pressed to his ear. “He isn’t picking up.”I followed him as he covered the distance with long strides. “His phone’s going straight to voicemail,” he said tensely as I felt a shift in the air. This wasn’t how I imagined this night to go. Alessandro Vitale was supposed to be here an hour ago. And our plan was to wipe him up at the time of auction when the lights would be off. It would cause a commotion, but nothing that money couldn’t solve.Killian looked up at me. “C
