He stood there looking at her with eminent fear in his eyes. But relieved when he saw her safe again. His eyes were widened and for the first time his heart rate thumped faster and his expressions morphed into shock and urgency. His breathes were heavy as he slowly walked towards her. He never knew what had suddenly gotten into him when he heard about her being in danger. Kaden had returned the same day and immediately went on to attend a meeting, the abrupt knock on the door and the door bursting open with a panting Luca, informing him about the intruders that had somehow entered the apartment and Kaden's men only got to know when they heard gunshots from the penthouse and after checking the cctv footage but it was to late. Forgetting about security or anything he ran up to his Mercedes and rode as fast as he could to reach the penthouse. This weird acceleration of his heartbeat gave him a hard time to think because right now, he only thought about the two innocent people in that apartment unprotected, kaison and neffré. Kaison was someone Kaden wouldn't admit nut was dear a part of his life, the poor kid was born through Kaden's fathers second wife, though he always treated kaison like an adult, he always had a soft corner for him , neffré was someone who'd always distract him, the thought of her lustrous light brown hair that were so soft, her tall slim body , her voice and her brown doe eyes made it harder for him to forget about her and focus on something else. Though he hated people who would defy orders, he felt that neffré was like a spark that would somehow always fuel him up, In a good way, he would feel that there is someone who could level up with his fire , someone who could face him. this was new to him. before this, he had little patience, and he wouldn't compromise his ego, but with her, he was trying to remain calm. But his heart spoke otherwise. As soon as he reached the building, he pulled his car in the gear and ran towards the elevator when a group of men joined him and surrounded him, his body guards had thier top priority to guard him no matter what. As they reached the floor before the his pent house, they heard the thumps of footsteps from above and the sound of bullets being fired .

His heart was caught up in his throat, for a second his mind denied for him to go in there only to look at wide eyed innocence seeping through bleeding wounds. He was unsure if his thoughts were directed to neffré aswell, but his main concern were kaison and neffrè.

As soon as he reached that floor, his bodyguards immediately starting firing at the intruders, he stepped in grabbing his gun that he had hid on himself,

The intruders had immediately decreased to a number, one. He held onto neffré, a gun on her head and her hands behind her, his blood boiled when he saw her bleeding nose and bruised cheek, cuts and blood painting her dress. But as soon as he arrived , he saw her look up with some energy that was left in her, when their eyes met, she immediately elbowed the man behind her, her hands now being released, she held his arm and twirled behind him while twisting his arm all the way and there he stood vulnerable, open to the predator called Kaden.
Wasting no time, Kaden shot him down and the man fell to his bleeding fate.

While out of relief and exhaustion, she dropped to her knees and looked at him with a certain emotion he understood but couldn't react to, he didn't know how to.

"grandé Fratello!"

Kaison came running towards Kaden and hugged his waist. Kaden had tightly held him and had bent down to kiss his forehead, the little boy subtly smiled at him but then looked at neffré who seemed to be spacing out at the lifeless body's of the men . The blood that tainted the white marble, the whiff of metal that buoyed up in the air.

"Grandé Fratello....she saved me."
Kaison pointed his fingers at neffré, matthews was there aswell, and he was quick to rush her aid, he gently called out,

"Signorá ? Signorá neffré, are you fine? Have you been hit by anything?"
He asked her while she just blankly stared at him and then Kaden and then subtly shook her head.

Neffré sat on kaden's bed, whilst jinellia was treating her wounds. Matthews and the others were taking away the body's and cleaning the pieces of glass. Kaden and kaison were in the guest bedroom, while kaison explained how neffiré had dealt with those men , a smile stretched on her face.

I felt bubbly, nobody had been so enthusiastic about me before. Though kaison was just a kid, he still made my heart swell .

"And do you know?! She was like just like those power rangers ! She's so strong ! "
I was surprised for a moment because he was the same boy who wouldn't speak much but right now he was like an unstoppable train. The way he expressed the whole incident was like he was talking about Spiderman doing stunts, kaison was obviously surprised by the fact that a girl was fighting full grown men with such ease, like a badass.

"Kaison, Vorrei parlare con la mia moglie."
(I want to talk to my wife.)
Kaison nodded obediently and got up while Matthews accompanied him to the living room.
Things revolved around his mind, but Kaden wanted to hear them out from neffré, he wanted to ask her about her motives, he wanted to ask her why did she risk it all just to save a child, why did she not think selfishly.

He walked to the threshold of the door and saw jinellia treating her, with his presence made known, jinelia looked up and gently bowed her head and walked out of the room to give the latter privacy. Kaden was so silent , his gaze was fixated her on and her willingness to know what did he want to do was becoming intolerable.

"Wha-"
She couldn't complete her sentence as Kaden put thick finger over his plump lips and signaled her to stay quiet.
He walked towards her, until he was standing infront of her , she tried looking elsewhere but not at him, his gaze was fixated on her, he knew he made her nervous and that made him smirk. Her eyes were darting to several directions but not at him, so he raised his arms and took hold of her chin and made her face him,

"Look at me neffré."
She didn't have to be told twice as she looked up into his eyes and immediately tried to focus on the nerve wrecking aura this man gave ro everyone and not his eyes that looked battered and scared from inside, his eyes had become hollow, no emotions and no expression could be seen through him, his barriers were high, Kaden was such a man. His skin had several scars and marks but every scar was like the tattooed ink that he had corresponded to with his skin. But he looked so deadly, his looks could make anyone fall for him, his strength was like a tiger's and his lethal aura was like a demons. But once, even Satan studded the heavens, but he had to fall for temptation.
Maybe Kaden was different when he was a young boy but had become like this: cruel, when people killed his innocence.

"Give me one single reason, why can't I stop caring about you?"

His words made my breath get caught up in my throat for a minute, and I just stared at him with astonishment. Suddenly? He was saying these things and the next moment he would leave and wouldn't care to come back, not that I care.

You do.

My mind spoke otherwise but I ignored it, I did not care. I don't care If he says this, I don't care about him.
I made up my words and tried to stone carve it in my mind.

The girl was obviously taken aback by his words, thus making her eyes widen in surprise, he saw the amount of love ans affection she deserved . But the other moment he saw her eyes come back to the usual coldness . He knew, she tried to hide the effect he had on her. But this sudden change in his characteristics would sometimes surprise him as well.
His hand was slapped away by her. He was about to say something harsh, when she turned around and pulled out a long bandage and held it in the air infront of him, he looked at her and then at the bandage she held.
His jaw immediately tightened and his anger reached a level. They had caused harm to a mafia's family, they would have to pay dearly.

"Where?"
He asked, his question was clear as she turned around, facing him with her back . Starting from her shoulder blade till her middle of her spine, she had dealt with wounds and scratches , blues and black were patching around them.
She was silent all this time but as soon as he applied an ointment on her wounds, a small hiss escaped her lips. She wore her bra and her underwear and sat underneath the blankets.

As she felt that he had applied the bandage on her back, she turned around,

"Thank you. "
She said.

But he kept staring at her, out of frustration she asked,
"Wha-"
But was interrupted,

"Why did you put yourself out there? You could have acted selfish and stayed inside that space until we would have arrived."

He finally said.

Her face turned red as she thought about it, she could have done that , taking a minute or two, she merged her thoughts and spoke them:

"Thats what you think? Why do I need to Wait for you to save me? Still the damsel in distress you think ?"
With a smirk she spoke, but his expressions made her sigh and tell the truth .

"How could I think about myself? I'm a sinner, I killed people, how can I think about myself? I just couldn't feel any feeling of selfishness, I don't know? somehow..."

That's what intrigues him, her honesty and her selflessness.
