Chapter-11 Boyfriend
Cherish's POV:
Few hours later,
I got down comfortable changing the channel, I am really bored here, but since my feet hurts so much I decided to just look at this tv screen passing my time.
I saw Riccardo getting in the bed, he got comfortable getting under the comforter beside me. It bothers me that we are sharing a room, and a bed.
But most nights he sneaks in when I am already asleep. Today he is getting in the bed while I am wide awake. I am nervous to be honest, his presence does something to me, makes me stay wide awake, and heart racing faster every second.
I saw him doing something on his phone, I kept changing the channel. I know fighting with him will earn nothing, when I have nothing.
I just wish Big Uncle Theo comes back, he is cousin Bruce's father. He can help me but I am just convinced that he also had some part in this marriage.
I felt warm skin touching to my leg, I realized it was Riccardo's feet, I pulled mine away on the weird sensation. I moved to the edge of the bed, I don't want to sleep on sofa, it hurts my back and neck.
I noticed his eyes on me, I looked back at the tv when I heard the busing sound. I noticed my phone was on the other night stand. Riccardo got it for me, his eyes stopped as he noticed the phone screen.
I furrowed, why would he do that. I took my phone off him as I warned, "Do not touch my things..."
Returning to my side of the bed made me realize I was looking at Wade calling me. I have saved his number as 'My Love'
Because he is. We are in a hidden relationship of few months, he is out of the state for some work. And we mostly meet in secret or in big friend groups. Actually it's most innocent kind of love. He knows I am really not good with touch and stuff, it creeps me out.... I don't even shake hands with anyone I don't know.
So... Wade and I do only dates, we kissed few times... more than few.... Anyways, Wade has cloting disorder so, he is always in and out of hospital, he still helps his father in family business, he is a nice guy.. he cares about me .
And the only other person who is too free to touch me is Riccardo... and he never took my permission when he kissed me that day. I really wanted someone as Wade, but I encountered a storm.
I have no courage to encounter Wade, what will I tell him?
That I got married in these months, and I betrayed him.
I love him... I can never do this to him, if I was not forced and betrayed by my own family.
The call ended after ringing few more times. I am ignoring him for few days already. I have no courage and lot of shame to face him.
I switched off my phone as sadness filled my heart. I should not do this to him.
I heard a angry voice, "Who is that?"
I looked at Riccardo, he was already glaring at me. I whispered, "None of your concern..."
I got under the cover as I said, "I am sleepy.."
I felt a hand on my arm, pulling me to him as he was almost on top of me. I can sense I am in danger, not that kind. But one wrong move and he will lose it.
Riccardo warned, "I asked something , wife...."
I kept my eyes on him, I said, "I answered you too..."
He said again this time his hand was on my cheek making me look in his angry eyes, full of rage, "Cherish... I want answer or you want me to dig it for of you?"
Why is he even so mad?
I said as I pulled his hand off my face, "Wade Thomson..."
Riccardo furrowed as if he didn't understand what it meant, I said clear, "My boyfriend..."
I saw a shock in his eyes, why this even bothers him?
He should have known, I have a life, and not everything happens by my parents and fathers wish. Not my love.
Riccardo whispered, "Your .. what?"
I turned my back to him as I said, "So.. better keep your hands and marriage off me... it's already down the drain..."
He grabbed my arm again, pulling me to himself harshly, he warned, "Stop spitting nonsense.... Why is that guy calling you?!!!... Why haven't I told he exist!!!!"
I said back to him scarsatic, "All mighty god of guarbage... I don't care....!!"
Riccardo warned, "You speak of him again... and I kill him..."
I sat up as I got angry, I got down the bed taking my pillow, I said, "You think you can do everything... there is system, rules, regulations, police.. and court to protect My Wade... and I stand in front of him...."
I met his furious eyes, I said loud, "You wanted a wife... You may have me in name... But Wade has My heart and everything.... He is the one I want all my life.... You cannot hurt him, I will not allow it..."
He chuckled darkly, it scared me a little. He said, "You cannot stop me, wife... Your words are making me tempted to prove you, what kind of man you married..."
I warned, "If Wade dies... I die with him...."
I made my way to the sofa slowly, My feet bothers me a little too. I slept there looking nowhere, until I heard a loud bang, the door was closed and Riccardo left already.
I prefer him not being around me.
Riccardo's POV:
I found myself looking out the window in pure rage. I had no idea about existence of her boyfriend and it bothers me so much.
I can do anything to strangle that man who had his hand on her, who took my place in her heart. He exist... when he shouldn't....
Her words are making my skin burn, 'If Wade dies.... I die with him....'
She refers him as love of his life, while I... I...
I am nothing to her.
A husband she never wants, I did everything to keep her with me.... But I know she will take very first chance to run from me again.
When I saw her for the first time, I wanted her to be the only one in my life, the only part of my life to be fixed by her. I don't care about the rest.
I just needed her....
I feel defeated, for the first time in my life.... I came across something as this.
But no... I didn't gave up....
I won't even give up on her on my death.... She would be by my side till I breathe and till I can.
Past midnight,
I sat on my chair, in my office. I couldn't rest the thought, couldn't breathe second without knowing, how I missed that guy?
I should have known, if I did then he won't even appear in my married life. I would have made sure he disappears from her heart way before that.
But because of someone's mistake and carelessness, I missed something so important.
I will learn why today exist, my wife declares she loves someone else, while she slept on the sofa refusing me... and I... I am trying to pull strings till I can, then I will burn them down.
Fred yawned as he said, "I have a life... iF you seem to forget... it's 2 in the night!!!..."
My eyes were stuck on Isaac Derosa, beloved brother of my wife. He seemed usual, As*hole.
I got up as I said, "You all are not allowed to have wife in your bed.... when mine... mine is not ready to see me...."
Fred let a chuckle like he was mocking me. I turned to him as I said, "I will send her overseas... and then.."
Fred said, "I did nothing.... don't get to my private life.. You can't handle a women!!!"
Isaac said getting up, "Mr. Valentine.... Even if she is my sister, I have no interest in solving your marital conflict...."
I smirked, I said, "Neither I want your incompetent as* in my marital life....."
He looked at me cold, I cleared warning, "You hide her past from me... Do you know what place that puts you in?.... You don't...."
Isaac said, "I did not hide anything.... you are accusing me, Mr. Valentine.... I might not be as great as you, But have some respect.... and I married your cousin and you married my sister....." I glared at him.
He looked away, Fred said, "Yea.. lets fight on nonsense.. My money is on the Dog...."
Neither Isaac or Me looked away from each other, Fred said, "Remember I didn't mention the dog.... it's up to you guys who is the dog...."
Isaac said, "You are acting up... when you ruined my wedding, You even upset my wife..... just caring out your revenge hungry women...... and now You are saying I lied?... You know very well what Cherish is... she ran away from you right in middle of wedding... Don't you know your women?"
I taunted, "So.. you are crying about thewedding... when you failed to report me about her boyfriend.... How do a girl likeher hide that from bunch of underworld mafia moron in her family!!!!"
