Adrian!?

He stood looking at me with a smirk marking his face.

"Kaden isn't here."
I said , and then turned back to the sink to finish my remaining work, my mind directly concentrated on every move he made. Something told me , he wasn't here for something very productive, he was here to create a scene.

His foot steps made me stop my work and turn around to see him walking my way. He was so confident while he walked up to me, close enough to make me feel suffocated by the smell of alcohol.

"You know, that mafia's share thier women?"
My heartbeat thumped harshly against my chest, my lungs were in my throat and I felt red hotness rise up to my cheeks out of anger and sudden shock of eloquence of the words he spoke.

But- k-kad-en wouldn't do that!.... right?

My mouth hung slightly open as shock gripped my senses .

Adrian on the other hand seemed to enjoy the sight, he knew that denying the commands of a boss would be countered with death, but what she didn't know was that Kaden had never commanded of such sort, Adrian was here for his own benefit, and clearly it was written in her eyes that she didn't want to die.
His hands snaked around her waist as he pulled her close to him.

She felt outraged by his actions, putrid by his hands touching her skin, feeling disgusted by the stench of alcohol he emitted. He tried to kiss her against her will, while she tried to push him away, struggling almost, because of his built and his weight crushing her. He immediately held her hands and held them above her head, as he kissed her forcefully while she tried to move her head away from him and with one hand, he grabbed her hair harshly from behind and steadied her.

My body screamed to kick him , to hit him, to even kill him. I had to stop him. He was so engrossed in kissing me, that I unstrangled my legs and kicked his crotch making him immediately take back and bend down due to the pain inflicted. And as I got free from his grip, I felt this sudden anger inside me, that at the moment I couldn't stop from reaching out, my teeth gritted and I felt rage ,while he bent down, I gave him a powerful smash on the left side of his ribs , as he grabbed his ribs . On the queue, I walked towards him slowly and saw him struggle with pain.
I grabbed his messy hair and pulled head up to look him in the eye , it was as if a demon had taken me over, while I said with a small smile playing on my lips,

" I hope you asked Kaden for that? Or else he'll have your balls hanging over your grave for touching the Don's wife."
With that said I gave him a powerful punch across his face that made him unconscious then and there.

My feet were trembling, my hands were shaking, my breath was uneven, I felt nervous . Looking at Adrian, lying unconscious near the kitchen isle , I sat the against the wall that led into the corridor leading to the rooms. I put my head on my knees while I held my hands around my knees for support. This was certainly the first time someone had tried to force themselves on me. Fighting was something that I learnt daily, so I knew the techniques of handling a situation like this but what shocked me was the trauma and shock that i faced at that particular moment.
Adrian laid there on his stomach , on the floor unconscious, it had come to be thirty minutes since the whole incident .

Out of tension, shock and the trauma my eyes started tearing up, sobs left my mouth, I covered my eyes and face with my hands , trying to stop the tears and trying to stop those sobs from escaping my mouth, but I failed miserably. I hated to cry. I wanted to have more courage right now. I wanted to stop crying , I wanted to stop myself from breaking.....

This time, the elevator opened up, my sorrows were drowning me in the deepest blues, I didn't bother to look up to see who it was. All I heard were my sobs and all I felt was the wetness on my face, neck and my hand from the tears I shed.

The penthouse was so silent, the lights were put off, Adrian was still there not moving, but I sat here while my tears were an endless parade. The foot steps thumped right infront of me,
The scent of his musk eloped around me, the cologne he put; tobacco and smoke.
How much I loved that scent, it made me breathless at the same time calm. I removed my hands from my face and looked up to see Kaden looking at me , unamused.

Something told me, he already knew what had happened, he didn't even bother looking over at Adrian laying unconscious. Instead , he gave me a hand, I looked at him and then his hand, my hiccups wouldn't stop, but I still managed to hold his larger hand as he gently pulled me up. The blood that had stopped flowing to my legs , immediately unbalanced me and I was about to plant my face against the smooth marble, but his arms held me at place, I couldn't meet his eyes, I looked like dumplings, slightly swollen eyes, swollen lips , pink cheeks and nose, while my skin wet and pale. He looked at me while I looked anywhere but him, he raised his hand and gently put a strand of hair that stuck to my cheek due to the wetness. I was surprised when his thick thumb wiped a tear that cascade from my eye, I looked at him, questioning his action, the confusion written in my eyes, and he read it. His other hand reached out to his pocket and pulled out his phone as he swiped through it and called someone,

"He's here, get him."

Within a minute or two the elevator opened up to reveal 4 men , massive in size, tall and broad. They picked Adrian up and took him away. While Kaden swiftly picked me up and walked to his room, he put me on the bed while he walked back to the bathroom and opened a tap, the water running and the steam escaped the open door, I looked back from the bathroom and stared at the wide awake city at 2 in the night.
Mentally , i was exhausted, I wanted to sleep, but my head was pounding , the area of my nose , eyes and head felt heavy and ached due to all the crying.

After 10 minutes or so Kaden came out of the bathroom and gently pulled me up as I stood close to him, as for a support. Walking into the bathroom , he closed the door behind us and lead me to the big bathtub.

I thought he was giving me privacy but he's standing infront me with his arms folded?

"Take your cloths off."

It was a command. And I didn't have much energy to defy him right now, so I pulled the white shirt above my head and removed the rest of the pieces of cloth I wore. I felt shy and embarrassed...
What could I do? He came closer to me and started collecting my hair together and wrapped it up in a bun.

"Get in."
He said, mentioning the bathroom tub.

And I walked up to the bath tub but strongly felt his gaze on me. The water felt so good, it was hot, I felt relaxed. for a minute I closed my eyes , but next moment I remembered Kaden was here with me. I looked at him and saw him removing his black dress shirt and his pants, I immediately looked away while cerise exploded on my cheeks, I heard him lowly laugh at my actions and he walked in the bath tub aswell. He sat infront of me , while I looked out the glass at the night sky. this whole time I felt his eyes on me, Things in my mind but I didn't want to ask him, but I had to,

While looking out, I finally muttered,
"Why do you care?"

His eyes looked almost like a rattle snake eyes , hard and cold.

He didn't say anything , while I turned to look at him for answers. He raised his fingers and motioned me to come to him and I did. I turned around I sat between his legs , his hands immediately gripped my waist and pulled closer, so we sat skin to skin. His hands gently glided against my shoulder and my arms, drawing patterns on my chest and making me feel more relaxed and comfortable. I leaned my head against his neck and chest and enjoyed his hands on me and the hot water. My exhausted mind took over my body and made my close my eyes and fall asleep .

While before falling to my slumber I asked again,

"Why do you care?"

Her eyelid fell, as she slept because she thought that she was exhausted, but she slept because her mind knew that she could finally rest in his presence.

"Because I want to."

He finally said.
