"Easy there love," she heard when she woke up trying to sit up straight. A hand on her shoulder stopped her from moving before she looked into his eyes.
"What happened?" She whispered.
"You passed out in the office. The doctor says your blood pressure was high. What happened whilst I was gone?" He asked her looking concerned.

"He. He was there," she said as he looked at her in confusion.
"Who?" He asked as he looked at her his hold on her tightening.
"The guy my ex boyfriend owed money. The one who who," She stuttered as the monitor started to beep frantically as Draco pulled her into his arms.
A nurse rushed into the room and stopped when he told her to stay back.
"Ela calm down baby," he cooed as she nodded her head yes vigorously. After a few seconds the monitor normalized.

He knew who she was talking of. He had done a thorough check on her background knowing something like this would happen.
Magnus was a loan shark well know around. But he didn't have much power. Not the kind of power they had.

Calling his brother into the room he watched as Belle went to sit beside Ela taking her hand in a soothing manner.
"I thought you told that man to stay away from her?" Dante said once Draco filled him in.
"I guess he didn't listen," he said wearing a serious expression.
"I will get some men to go get him," he said as Draco gave a brief nod turning to look at the woman he knew he would die for.

Sweet-tooth puffed some smoke out forming rings  watching the girls before then dancing to the stereo. His guys were passing around a bottle of whiskey so it was no surprise when they couldn't react fast when the last guy handed the bottle to another extra hand making the others frown looking up to see the group of men.
"Where is your boss?" One of them asked looking at Sweet-tooth.
Just as he was about to answer the said man stepped into the room coming to a halt.
"Who the hell are you guys?" He said stopping buttoning up his shirt.
"Our boss wants to see you," he heard.
"Who is your boss?"
"Mr Prince," he heard making him curse underneath his breath.
"Ok just let me get my jacket," he said turning back as the team leader indicated two men follow him a few seconds later upon seeing he was taking longer than expected.
Walking into the room they found him jumping outside through the window. Both men shrugged knowing he wouldn't go far.

Magnus jumped onto the ground and took a deep satisfactory breath.
"Magnus," he heard his name called out making him become still.
"I simply wanted for us to chat," Draco said shaking his head leaning against the car hands in his pockets looking intimidating as ever. "Get in the car," he ordered.
"Listen, I wasn't looking for trouble," he said.
"But you were warned to stay away. But did you?" Draco said.
"I will leave the city," he said.
"There is no need for all of that," he said. "Now like I said get in the care," he said as his men showed up not the least worried.

Walking into the hospital with Magnus and his men, Draco led the way to Ela's room.
"Apologize," he ordered realization appearing on his face as he went on his knees instantly.
His men looked terrified knowing their lives were on the line.
"I'm sorry. I. I. I didn't..," he said stopping when she raised her hand.
"I never did you any wrong. You told your men to have their way with me. But as if that was not enough you also took advantage of me that night. You are a monster," she screamed as tears ran down her face. "You deserve whatever is coming your way. I only pray this child does not have a drop of your character she said looking at the other men. I don't even know who the father is but I pray they grow up to be a better individual that you lot," she spat angry.

"Who touched you?" Draco asked in a grave voice as she looked at the individuals.
"I am sorry," she heard Sweet-tooth whisper.
"You are not sorry. I am not the first woman you did this to. But today will be your last," she said looking at Draco. "Castration will be a perfect reminder if not death," she said with such hatred he never wanted to see such an emotion from her ever again.
"As you please," he said instructing his men as she looked at him not believing he would actually have them castrated.

Taking her to her house after she had protested about staying at his he conceded but what she was not expecting was for him to not leave her house.
"You need to leave," she said all of a sudden not sure about keeping him close for clearly the man had the potential to be ruthless.
"Why do you want me to leave?" He asked moving towards her.
"Because," She said stepping away from him. "I don't know who you really are sometimes," she said seeing his features soften instantly as confusion took over.
"I am your man. The man who loves you as will die for you. A man who will eliminate any and every enemy of yours just to see you happy. A man wealthy enough to give you your hearts desires," he said pulling her into his arms as his fingertips glided across her skin.
"A man who wants to make you his wife by any means necessary," he said watching her eyes widen as he turned her around bending her over.
"A man who wants to only be desired by you. To be turned on by you," he said as he took her slowly. "Say yes to me always and you will never regret this," he said as he wasn't as gentle like other times.
"Yes," She said making him smirk as he claimed her as his.

Dante

"These are for you ma'am," Belle heard her secretary say as she received the flowers bringing them to her nose to take in their scent.
"Who are they from?" She asked as an envelope was handed over to her.
Opening the envelope she retrieved the note.
"Please put these is water," she said as she made her way to her office reading the note as a smile graced her lips. Calling the culprit she thanked him reaching her office.
"Dante! What did you do?" She gasped seeing her office full of flowers.
"Sent flowers to a beautiful lady," he said.
"I cannot keep these. I will have them sent to one of the hospitals," she said making him laugh.
"Always thinking of others," she heard behind her as she gasped turning around to find him looking at her.
Running into his arms she spun her around as she greeted him. Having not seen each other in a week she realized she had actually missed him.

"Someone missed me indeed," he said.
She smiled at him wrapping her arms around his neck as he leaned towards her giving her a sweet tender kiss as her secretary walked in holding the vase.
"Have dinner with me?" He said.
"That can be arranged," she said with a smile as he smiled at her as his phone rang.
"I have to go in for a meeting. See you later," he said.

~~~~

Pulling up in front of her office he waited for her to exit the building engulfing her in a hug as he lifted her off the ground.
"How was your day," he murmured.
"Tiresome," she whispered wearing a smile happy to see him.
Putting her down he helped her into the car before getting in himself. Pulling her onto his lap she wasted no time in tasting his lips hearing him groan in pleasure as she felt his arousal.

"You will kill me one day," he said as she leaned her forehead against his enjoying the moment.
"Why would I do that," she asked in confusion making him chuckle.
"Oh Belle. If only you knew how much I love you," He said closing his eyes.
"I know. That's why I love you," she said making him smile looking into her eyes as they came to a halt in front of a clothing store.

"I thought we were going for dinner?" She asked.
"Yes. But you need a dress. A power suit won't do," he said leading the way to one of the shops for her attire.
She noticed he kept checking his watch making her frown having changed into a tux she however took her time selecting a dress and shoes. Having her makeup done with the help of the sales team she smiled looking at herself in the mirror.
"Your husband is very restless," she heard as she smoothed out the dress.
"He rarely is," Belle said not bothering to correct them as she walked out towards him. He appeared stunned as he took in her appearance.

"You look gorgeous," he said taking her hands into his. She wore a simple floor length dress that suited her curves perfectly as he pulled her in front of the mirror. Standing behind her she gasped as he placed the diamond necklace around her neck shocking her as she looked at him via the mirror.
Leaning down he kissed her shoulder wrapping his arms around her as she reached out to touch his cheek whispering her thank you.
"You are welcome," he smiled kissing her neck.

Heading to the their dinner venue he couldn't stop looking at her as she told him about one of her outings with Ela and his mother.
Being ushered to the private balcony dining area she gasped at the setup dining fairy lights lighting up the area.
Pulling out her chair he helped her sit as she thanked him enjoying every moment of the evening.

Asking her to dance she obliged glad to get a chance to be in his arms. After a few songs he knew she puked be tired as he helped her into her chair.
"What are you doing?" She asked in confusion as he went on his knee before her taking her foot.
"Do you know that you are my best friend Ela?" He said slowly removing the clasp of her shoe gently pulling it off.
"You are my only friend Dee," she smiled as he slowly rubbed her food making her relax.
"And you know I love you. Love spending time with you. You captivate me with both your beauty and brains," he smiled putting her foot down moving to the other.
"Umm thank you," She said in confusion.
An involuntary moan escaped her as he worked on her foot as she let out a shaky breath when his hand slowly moved up her leg.
Glad to be the only ones on the balcony she thanked the heavens as he released her leg but didn't move as he looked at her wearing a smile.

"What's wrong?" She asked in confusion as he smiled looking at her.
"Nothing is wrong just admiring your breathtaking beauty. You know your parents would be so proud of your right?" He said all the whole retrieving a box from his pocket as her eyes blurred with tears. Nodding her head in response she grabbed the napkin wiping the tears away.
"And you know I would be proud to call you my wife right?" He asked watching her stop her actions seeing the box he held out to her.
"Dee?" She said.
"Will you make an honest man out of me by becoming my wife Ela," she heard him say as fresh tears welled up in her eyes.
"Not you making an honest woman out of me?" She asked through her tears making his chuckle as he reached out wiping her tears.
"Whatever you want baby," he said opening the box hearing her gasp as she saw the size of the rock.
"Yes I will marry you Dee," she whispered as he smiled slipping the ring on her finger.

"I'm glad you boys have decided to settle down," Oliver said. "Will you invite your grandfather?" He asked.
"I guess so. The man might have made mistakes in the past but he is still family despite all that happened," Dante said as Draco nodded his head.
They watched tears run down their mothers cheeks as she couldn't contain her happiness.
"I love you both," Zoe said.
"We love you too," they both murmured engulfing her in a hug as Oliver smirked looking at them.
"Mama's boys," he chuckled walking out of the room.

The End
