Emily was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling. Her course completed. she was free. They all were busied in wedding arrangements. Her phone rang. She checked the caller I.d, It was Nicole. She ignored it. She was avoiding Nicole since the day Tyler's trauma happened. She was still thinking about Tyler. His Men were torturing him right now or more worse... She has to do something for him before it get too late.

Beep.

She frowned and checked the message it was Nicole's. She opened it and read,
"Emily honey, I know you are ignoring me... You left without meeting me back at the house... I just want to apologise to you on the behalf of my son's behaviour... How he treated you... And I am also feeling really bad about your friend's situation... I talked to Leo about Tyler's freedom....but he said that King is capable of handling that matter...and forbid me to not interfere in it...

Honey I tried my best... I will talk to him again..."

She sighed,

At least, she is trying and look at me... Sitting here praying that some miracle will happen...

She thought and called her. After one or two rangs Nicole received,

"Hello, Child how are you?. I was sick worried about you... Are u alright?",Nicole said in one breath.

Emily cleared her throat, embarrassed by her own rude behaviour.

"Umm... H-Hi... Yeah I am better now... How are you?"

"I am fine too... I know why you were ignoring me. You think that I will tell you to give my Son a second chance Right?"

Shit!

She squinted her eyes shut, and scratched her forehead.

"Hello! are you there?", Nicole's voice brought her back to reality,
"Y-Yeah Yeah, I am here..."

"Your hesitation say it all...", Nicole whispered. Her tone was full of despair.

Emily sighed deeply...

" I tried Nicole... I tried to so many times and I gave him chances too but He..." Emily's voice trembled with each words. Nicole can easily felt the hatred and pain in her tone.
"He disappoints me every time... He is the most cruelist person I ever met. He only care for himself... what he want what he care just full of himself! My life become hell Damnit!!"

There was a silence on the other line.
Emily realized her blow.
"I am so sorry for my blow. I didn't mean it... You know.. I was so stress ou-"

"No it's fine... All alright here... I can understand your situation.", Nicole assured not wanted to stress out that poor girl more than she already was.

"What should I do Nicole? He will kill Tyler and I don't want to be a reason of someone's death. After all he was my friend...", Emily's voice broke down in a hysteric cry.
She felt her chest tightened, anxiety was on the verge of hitting. She was focusing on Nicole's voice tried to ignore the pain growing in her heart making it hard for her to breath.

"Emily, don't cry My child, I want you to calm down first and listen to me carefully okay?"

Emily hummed and got up. She walked towards her room balcony to get some fresh air.

"I am fine now. Please continue",Emily assured her when she gained some energy.

"You are brave, Brave enough to tame King. Remember that. And about Tyler's situation. Go and meet King. Don't beg to him... Just talk to him, try to convey your message to him... And use girl's charm." What Nicole said next, made her blushed.

Girl's charm... Alright?

"Are you getting what I mean? or you want me to elaborat-"

"No please! I mean I understand very well...", Emily replied sniffling her cries.

"And please never lie. King hates lie. Just pour what your heart says. And always remember my advice; A Man hates when his Lady begs for another Man...", Nicole advice.

"Okay... Thanks Nicole for your help.. I will talk to you later if you don't mind.",

" Sure Good luck", Emily hung up and dropped her phone besides her.

She took a deep breath trying to calmed her disturbing situation. She wanted to scream, cry or anything which can broke the distressful cage she was locked in...

The whole situation is a huge mass of mess... Torturing her mentally and emotionally... I am not going to give up so easily... I will fight... Yeah I can do this!

She got up and walked downstairs straight in the Living room to watch some t.v. Amanda and James were both at work.

The front door opened by their guard,
"Madam, Mr.Vincent is here to see you. Shall I send him in?"

She jumped and sat up straight,
"What!?"

"Why is he here?!"

"Because King Vincent is missing his Queen...", His deep voice resonated in the living room,

He entered hands in his finest grey suit's pant pockets, and not to forget those brown brogue shoes. Head held high, hair in a neat bun. looking like some Armani's model ready for the slaying shoot.

The guard left them alone.

"Y-You are here?", She asked meekly getting up.

She played with her fingers when he didn't answer kept on watching her with brows knitted.

"King!?"

"Were you crying?",He asked eyes bore into her's.

"N-
She was about to say no but stopped when she remembered Nicole's words,

'King hates lie'

She looked away whispering,
"Can we talk about this later?"

He looked unconvinced but nodded mumbling,
"Sure."

He spoke after a moment,
"You don't ask me to sit"

She slapped her forehead,
"Oh sorry, where my manners go? please come and sit." She pattered at the sofa.

"I am here to have a lunch with you"

"I already ate mine! so, I can't go with you", she replied happily with a wide toothy smile.

'you look weirdo with that extra smile!', Her subconscious scolded her. She cleared her throat embarrassed and stopped smiling.

"Good. But Who say I am going out for lunch?"

"Then?"

"Do you know cooking?", He asked walking towards the kitchen counter chair and sat down,

She placed her hand on her hips, and galred him,
"What do you think of me huh? I may be belongs to a billionaire family but that doesn't mean that I don't know basic house chores. Understand! I can make anything and everything."

His wetted his lips, as he stared her up and down.
"Anything?", He whispered.

Her cheek flushed at his double meaning words,
"I mean in Cooking!", She corrected him.

He smirked,
"Make me something then, I am hungry, Sweet love"

"Why! You can eat outside too!",She protested,

"No,I want to eat what you'll make", He replied calmly,

"Fine!", She huffed And walked towards the kitchen. King placed his chin on his hand watching her,
"What do you want to eat?", Emily asked bored.

"Anything you'll make with love"

She rolled her eyes, gave him force smile,
"Oh really, what about crispy fried Cockroach curry with poison topping?"

He arched an brow,
"Sure but we will have to share"

"King I am serious!", She asked irritated,

He chuckled,
"Anything you find easy"

"Hmm. wait... Let me see", she said and walked towards the double door fridge. She opened it and roamed through the contents. She took out vegetables, cheese and chicken meat and started to make chicken cheese spaghetti. She felt his eyes on her every move making it harder for her to do anything.

She huffed and turned to him,
"Will you just stop staring... I hate when someone watch me working duh!"

"Get used to it"

She glared him and shook her head and got back on work. She let her hair hide her face. She quickly finished making her dish. She served it in a plate and now shredding cheese on it.

"I didn't know that You can cook? You don't look like one.", He said,

She placed it in front of him with clean cutlery and poured orange juice in a glass,
"Why you expect a spatula stick to my face?"

He chuckled and grabbed the fork.

'Will he like it? What if he is going to puke? Did I add salt in it? Shit shot! Calm your ass! He is not some Gordon Ramsay!!! Just breath in and out he will like it... You made it many times!', She was biting her lower lips while watching him with anticipation.

He took first bite with such professional etiquettes that put her in shame on how she ate.

Damn this Man is even real!?

"H-How is the food?", She asked holding her breath, when he didn't moan or gave any reaction at all.

He stopped eating and placed the cutlery back on the plate and looked at her emotionless.
"Come here", he ordered gruffly,

"W-Why?", She asked scared,

He gave her the look which was telling her not to deny.

She gulped and walked towards him slowly fidgeting with her fingers,
She stood in front of him,

"More close", he demanded,

She took a step forward,

"More closer..." He whispered,

She bitten down her lips harder and got more closer. Her body was touching with his. Due to his sitting position their heights levelled up face inches apart. she was avoiding eye contact with him focused on playing with her sweaty hands. He held them gently. she looked at him. He brought her both hands to his lips and gently kissed them,

"This is the best food I ever ate,"

Her eyes brightened up with happiness as she breath out. She hit on his chest lightly,
"Ah! You scared me. you are so dramatic. I thought you didn't like it!"

His lips curled in a small smile, watching his beauty's adorable reaction,
"And Why you care about my like and dislike?"

Her smile faltered,

Huh?

Why i care about him?

She cleared her throat and made some distance between them as she sat besides him on the other stool.
"Please Eat or it will get cold.",She changed the topic.

He hummed and got back to eating. He finished, and drank his juice, wiped his mouth with the napkin and turned to her,
"I am here to tell you that I am going Italy for the coronation and peace treaty ceremony."

"Coronation of what?", She asked frowning,

"For My being the Don... All Mafia from all over the world will be there and I'll have to take oath infront of them."

"After the coronation, will you become the official Don?... Everyone will know about you?! The media, government whole freaking world?!", She asked shocked,

He nodded,

He will get more stronger More Powerful and More Ruthless...

"So, I have to go but when I come back... I will officially make you mine."

Her heart stopped at his last sentence.
She gulped and looked away.

"Look at me in the eyes when I am talking to you", he placed his hand under her chin made her look at him,

His eyes soften,
"Now tell me why were you crying?"

Damn he remembers!
This is your chance Emily. Use your tactics...

"Why do you care if I cry or in pain?"

He frowned,
"What type of question is this?... I care about you Because I love you, Love" he confessed and pulled her on his lap. She gasped but didn't protest.
"No you don't... And If you do then you will care about of what I want"

He softly tugged her hair behind her ear and whispered,
"I care about you, now tell me what do you want?"

She took a deep breath before uttering her next sentence,
"I- I want you to leave Tyler if you love me!"

His jaw clenched,

Before he say something she placed her hand on his lips, his movement halted, stiffened,
"Please don't get angry and listen to me first,"

he sighed and kissed her palm which rested on his lips she slowly removed it and continue,
"King I want you to leave Tyler not because he is my friend or I care about him. I want you to leave him because I don't like blood mayhem. I can't handle the burden of being the reason of someone death"

Her shoulders slouched and raved a hand in her hair in frustration and despair.
"Try to understand King I am not strong hearted girl. I can't handle that stench of blood and gore chaos... I am wea-", he shushed her,

"You are not weak, My sweet love, Who says? You are the most strongest girl I've ever met... You can tame the beast like me that is enough to describe who you really are"

Her heart rate were increasing, with his each words,

"And that Leach. Hm. You want me to let him go?"

He sighed loudly,
"Your wish is granted"

Her eyes widened,
"Really! I mean Really?... You are not joking right!?"

He wrapped his arms around her, and whispered in her hair,
"If you kept on asking I will change my mind,"

"No No please I mean I am not going to ask again", she pulled him into a bear hug. "Thank you"

He hummed,
She gently broke the hug, with a heart fluttering smile on her face,

"I will sacrifice my life for this smile."

His eyes fixated on her red lips. Their hot breath mixing with each other's. He leaned forward, her head tilted, lid getting closed on her own, he wetted his lips ready to feel the heaven, her lips gently stroking his teasing him. Tension building between them.

'No this is not right! He is not the right one!'

A growl escaped his lips when she pushed him away, and abruptly got up.

"What happen Emily?!", He growled, irked by her sudden push.

She flinched at his tone, and looked away,
"I am sorry King, I can't do this. This is not right! I mean not before our marriage."

"This is just a kiss, Love", he advanced towards her, she backed away slightly, making him stopped,

"Not for me... My kiss is only for my Husband.", She whispered,

"And you are not my husband not for now", she added and looked up at him through her lashes,

He was watching her with unreadable expressions, A smile found its way on his lips,
"I love your modesty... This makes me love you even more..."

Her eyes snapped at him,

"I will soon claim my prize... Soon", With that he walked away leaving her shocked... And anxious,

Soon....
