The strongest hearts you know, have the most grave scars!

Jhilmil's pov

What does this beast thinks of Himself!

How dare he shamelessly talk to me like that!
And why I am becoming weak in front of him... With each passing day!

May be because, you are now bound to him with a sacred matrimony!
What the hell!

Anyways, from today I have it look after him....and I know he is going to take advantage of his condition. But I also have to manipulate him. Well... Not manipulate actually... I have to ask him... To let me continue my college.... Like he promised... My exams are going to start from next month and I am way behind in my syllabus because of this marriage thing.

I will talk to him today, so I entered his room with his breakfast and his medics. But I stumbled.... Looking at an almost naked Beast! He was wearing a towel dangerously low... And his back had water drops...i think he just came out of shower....he smelt of musk...I couldn't take my eyes off his perfect sculpted body....he is gorgeously sexy!

Where the Hell, that is coming from! Keep your eyes low! He is too dangerous for you!

Oh! Thank the Devil! You are here wife! Now come on.... Don't just ogle my sexy body... Help me dress up!

Holy Cow! He caught me!

I lowered my eyes and walked till his bed and put the food tray on the side table.
I felt nervous as I knew he was watching my every move!

I walked near his closet and took out a white t-shirt and a brown cargo pants.

I gulped my saliva and stood close to him. I took a face towel and started to wipe his broad chest...he was watching my nervous self amused...i was breathing fast because of his closenes....i was shaking.
He said seductively - Rose, Your Hands....

I wishpered - My Hands....

He smirked and said - Your Hands are shaking..!

In a reflux I hit his chest.

His wide eyes travelled to my hands...and I took a step back...he sighed and slowly turned around...he had a severe cut near his shoulder cuff....and unknowingly... The towel scratched the wound... I heard him hiss...i got scared....i Stammered and said - so...so...sorry! I will get a antiseptic....but Before I could go... He pulled me towards him...I tried to free myself...only to be grabbed more forcefully...He nuzzled my neck and said

- I know a better antiseptic...That can be better than any ointment!

W...what ointment? - I asked

KISS! he turned around...his back facing me....he again said - Kiss me, where it hurts!

His voice was raspy and he was breathing fast too...just like me...why is this happening to me!

Kiss me please, rose! Take my pain away! - He whispered

I don't know what came to me, I caressed his wound with my thumb.... And next thing I know i gave a soft kiss on his wound!
I fricking kissed him!

You are going to be the death of me! - I heard him groan

I moved back... Closing my eyes in embarrassment...He lift my chin with his finger and said - You don't have to feel embarrassed Rose! We are married...You can do much more than this! He quickly wore his pants and chuckled...and my eyes widened.

Now, help me wear this madam! - he said

This is the right time to ask him about college, my mind voiced out!

I took the t-shirt from his hands and pulled it from his head and made him wear it....i straightened his collar and said - I want to join my college back! Is this ok if I start from today, my exams are starting from next month.

Please Say Yes!

He encircled my waist and pulled me on his chest - And here, I thought you cared for me!
It's nothing like that! I... I really need to join back! - I said confidently

He sighed - OK! If that's what you want! But you will go to college... Finish your studies and straight to home! No hanky-panky ok!?!
My driver will be there to drop and pick!
And my gurads would be there always by your side... And give me a text every 30 mins! Don't do anything stupid!

I nodded frantically.....i still couldn't believe he said yes! - I jumped in happiness....and for the first time I saw him laughing....he was handsome and charming!

I couldn't stop myself from saying Thank you!

He said -
Don't be surprised, My attitude depends on how you treat me Rose!
At this marriage, all I am looking for is acceptance!
I will bring this whole universe under your feet if required.

All my life, I have seen hatred...vengeance...betrayals...that caused me to be full of anger...!
But now, I think I have found the drug for all my pain...anxiety...and anger!

And that's You!

His eyes held an alien emotion which I couldn't read but I knew every word he spoke was sincere.

My heart skipped a beat! I know he meant every word!

I quickly rushed out of the room and reached the kitchen....i wanted to inform mom about it.

I was searching for her when I heard her say - You look happy my girl!

I turned around and hugged her - Mom! I am going to go back to my college... I can finish my studies. I can't believe He agreed ma!

She patted my head and said - See, my son is not that bad!

I stepped back and lowered my eyes.

Mom said - Jhilmil, I know he forced you in this marriage!

How do you....i asked shocked!

She sighed and said - Because I know him better than anybody! I know he is stubborn but he is not bad....please give him a chance....He deserves affection and care!
I know he is cold hearted and has anger issues but You have to be patient with him. He will do anything in his power to keep his loved ones happy!

He knows the pain of loosing love! And He knows the importance of keeping Love!

What are you saying ma? - I asked

He was only eight... When his father who was a powerful Mafia King....was killed in front of us...by his arch rivals. All the other powerful mafias back then had their evil eyes on him....they wanted him dead. I had no choice but to protect him....so I sent him away...to one of my trusted bodyguard... He trained my son...to be ready to face this evil World.
He cried...Day and night...for me... He never wanted to leave me...but I had to be strong....so in his absence I legally converted most of the illegal businesses of his father. I built a new empire for him....To rule...i did not want black money...so I set a few business rules and principles.
It took him almost ten years to be trained...and on his eighteenth birthday... I announced him as the Mafia Heir! I knew it was too much for him...but he avenged the murder of his father. And slowly...my innocent son...Who was a mere teen...became the cold hearted... Ruthless Mafia King!
She wiped her tears and said - He has lost a lot of things that a normal teenager wouldn't!
He kept everything above him.
He didn't have the chance to live a normal life... But since the day you came into his life.... I think... He is again dreaming to live a happy life.
I am not asking you to accept him in a day or two.... I am just asking you to give him a chance. I want you to accept him for who he is! Wouldn't you do that in other situations?

I was short of words. I didn't know how to react to this! So I just nodded and walked away!

If you just give me a small chance, I will prove it to you that I will be one of the best Decisions you'll ever make!
