..................

Somewhere in the woods. Deep bottomless down, covered by mahogany trees and plants. A cabana, not quite big nor too small occupied the vague space.

Birds chirped monotonously and the forest animal was up to their business

A small glimmer of light illuminated the small house that looked like a cabana through the darkness. Amidst all, the loud cries like a moan resonate throughout the domain.

Inside the small residence, were two bodies entangled around one another on the bed in a heap. The upper body was putting all his force into the person below, causing the bed to squeak.

"Ah, fuck!!!" 

Two sets of emerald green eyes, fluttered rapidly as her body shuddered in extreme pleasure. She strained her back and sat up comfortably, her arms still wrapped around the neck of the man.

"I...I feel thirsty" She licked her lips. Adrain restrained his body after spewing all his seeds in her. The sweats on his body made him extremely hot and attractive in the eyes. Rebecca couldn't for a second take her eyes off. When he turned his back on her, her eyes narrowed by the familiar tattoo, from his neck, moving slantingly to his waist. THE COBRA MARK.

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had hallucinated it but when she opened her eyes and still saw the clear tattoo, her heart stopped for a second, and soon her chest heaved out of exasperation and fear.

Who didn't know the COBRA MARK? Two years of her journalism had groomed her into the world of those Mafias. After all, her father had been one before he retired. She would read documentaries, papers and books about these people. Finally, they gave her a lot more knowledge than she could imagine. One day, she sneaked into her father's study room and unintentionally found a book written 'WORLD OF THE COBRA KINGS'

That night, she went to her room and read all about it. She didn't know that the next day, she would fall seriously ill and disgusted with everything around after learning all of the revulsive truth inside that one book.

And here was someone who might be related to those people.

"Y...you are one of them...you?" Her lips were paused when Adrain turned his face to her. He knitted his brows while putting his shirt on, with an accusing gaze.

Rebecca bit her lips and tried to find the courage to speak "You were the one? The Virus? You created it, didn't you?"

There was a momentary hiatus in Adrain's movement but in no time, he looked away indifferently and hummed. Rebecca gulped hard and shifted backwards, her eyes fixated on the man, who was now approaching her.

"A...are you going to kill me?" For the second time, her eyes shimmered dreadfully. Yes, she was feisty and brave but those couldn't work particularly in the presence of this devil.

Adrain strangely glared at her "What are you saying?"

Rebecca hissed "Then stop coming closer...you are one of them... those beasts, those cruel humans inside that book. I have made my final decision...this trial is over and I have changed my mind about becoming your woman"

"You're already my woman" He stated as a matter of fact. Rebecca wanted to protest but she knew that was the truth. A month back, she stupidly gave in to his manipulation and kept giving him the right to f**k her. What could she do? Her mind was complicated.

"That's before...I have changed now" She cried. Adrain's lips curled up in an evil grin as he was now by her side. He took hold of her chin forcefully and rammed his hand through her soft skin. Rebecca fisted her hand on the bed as the fear from her childhood had now gripped her. She tried to look away from his manipulating gaze.

"Becca, you are mine now...you will be mine until the day I get bored of you...until the day you've become useless and incompatible to stay side by side with me"

Those intimidating eyes, she couldn't resist them. Her body heated hungrily for him but just as she wanted to kiss her lips, the man left her side. She suck in the cold air and sighed.

'Rebecca you've lost your mind'

She saw him open a briefcase, as he relaxed on the armchair. Inside the brown case were a syringe and some bottles, which she couldn't identify. She saw he unwrapped a syringe and injected it into the bottle cap, the colour somewhat red.

"I hate horror...what are you going to do with that?" She blurted out. Adrain ignored her. He put the briefcase aside and brought his elbow forward. He pressed hard in search of a vein, and when he got one, he injected himself almost immediately and fell back on the chair.

"Adrain?"

.....................................................

"Xander....kiss ....kiss.... kiss"

Alex was still rooted on the spot. His eyes now with an emotion looked briefly towards her.

"She remembered him"

Hurriedly, he went to her and sat by her side. His mind was in turbulence as he was feeling a lot, emotions upon emotions came surging hastily and drastically without his control of power or stop. He was overcome with a driven force of sentiment. At that moment, his antecedent plan of action was off his mind.

"May" He called softly and intertwined her palm with his. He brought her slender hand to his lips, with him placing a peck on it "You finally remember" his voice was broken. Only she could bring the worst out of him. Only she could make him feel this helpless. Only she could make him feel this much happiness.

"May, call me again" He cooed. "One more time... I am your brother Xander, we also played together back then...how much you loved me then!!"

May couldn't respond as she was asleep. Alex touched her hair and leaned for a kiss. He rested his lips on hers and stayed like that for a splitting moment. His eyes stared hard at her closed ones.

"May, call me again, please" He caressed her brunette hair. "Just once...say brother Xander...call me"

Spending five minutes in the room with her, Alex sighed and kissed her head. He quietly left the bed and turned to leave.

"Brother Xavier, I love you...my next life, I will win your heart"

Alex sadly smiled and left the room, unnoticed. The house as well, he left.

..................................................

Back in the woods.

Rebecca had put her dress on and decided to leave the cabana, when a force pushed her, causing her to fall to the hard ground.

"What the f**k!!"

Suddenly, a bullet flew inside the house and smashed the flower vase on the table.

THWACK THWACK

"STAY STILL OR GET YOUR BRAINS BLOWN UP" Adrain pulled her to his embrace and looked around the place suspiciously. That was his private residence. How did they find him here?

"Get your stupid hand off me...what's this all about? Ahhhhhhh" A bullet had almost hit her but Adrain was fast to wrap his body around hers to prevent it.

"SHUT UP" He furiously cried.

"Whenever I am with you, there's always a problem or the other. The last time, I was caught in a web of lies...now I am caught up here with you as some assassins are out there firing bullets in the place. Who knows, maybe the next thing was a canon...can you spare me with this troubles?"

Adrain left her body and rose to the ground. He threw a pistol at her and ordered "Fight or get killed...your endless choice" With that said, he was no longer in the room. Rebecca twitched her lips and sighed "This manly beast"

She picked the gun up and hurriedly tied her curly hair to a ponytail. She flinched and bypassed the firing bullets in the room and finally found herself outside the room. She saw two heavily huge men standing at the entrance of the living room door and quickly hid herself in one of the pillars resting above a circular table by the end side.

*BANG*

A bullet slightly passed her cheek and hit the photo frame on the wall. Rebecca dilated her pupils in shock and groaned angrily. No one messes with me.

She made sure to set the gun before leaving her hiding place and *BANG* she pulled the trigger which hit one of the man's arms.

"Fuck you sons of a b**ch" She pulled the trigger again and targeted the other man.

*Bang*

'That's dedicated to my wonderful master' She beamed when she realised she had knocked one of the men down. The second man who was injured shot a bullet by her side, but unfortunately, it didn't reach her. Revengefully, Rebecca twirled her right leg in front of him and attack his foot causing him to stagger and fall to the floor. Without any time wasting, she shot at him twice and praised herself.

'It wasn't easy, girl...I am so proud of you Her face flustered.

Now, where did that man run off to?

Outside the cabana. Adrain was fighting head-on-head with the men. In a single shot, he'd kill them one after the other. Rebecca noticed his skilful moves and smiled brightly.

'Not bad'

"Orlando, your father wants you back home...either dead or alive" One of the men, who was kneeling on the floor, as his leg was shot....spoke.  Adrain scoffed "I never had a father and *Bang*"

He pulled the trigger of the shotgun at the man, who like the rest ended up lifelessly on the ground.

"Not bad...you got some hardcore skills in there...teach me" Rebecca stood before him with a bright smile, the lemon shirt she put on was drenched with her sweat. Adrain tilted his head a little at her and pulled her quickly towards him. He embraced her and shot at the man behind her.

"Ahhhhh" She gasped.

"Stupid woman" 

Rebecca slapped his chest with a frown on her forehead.

"No longer scared of my tattoos hmmm?" Adrain teased, his bloodied hands wrapped around her waist. He grabbed her ass and squeezed on them.

"Ahhh, Adrain....not out here especially not with these bodies" Rebecca complained.

"I could f**k you out here...we have the audience" Adrain spoke nonchalantly and kissed her neck. Rebecca pushed him away "Another time, I feel sleepy...let's return to the City"

Successful in escaping, she left that scene back to the house. Adrain blandly stared back at the dead bodies and cussed.

'OLD MAN, YOU NEVER SEIZE AT PUSHING ME TO THE LIMIT'

********************************************************************************

The next day.

In the garden.

"Boss has arrived home" A maid came to announce to May, who was reading a book. Surprised, she closed the book.

'He is back?'

"Second young master" May turned to look when she heard from the maid. The man was standing before her. His look had changed and he seemed to be worn out for some reason. His haircut was lower than before but his grey-blue charming eyes still stood out.

Alex put his hand in his pants pocket "Morning" he greeted her.

May blinked her eyes and subconsciously responded "Morning"

"Y...you are back?" She fidgeted with her fingers when she asked. Alex half-smiled "You don't want me to return?"

"Yes...noo...yh...I mean...Stay. it was...a little lonely without you" She murmured.

Light is groomed in Alex's eyes by her sudden confession.

"Go change...we are going out on a date," He told her. May looked at him "Date? In a restaurant?"

Alex hummed and took a step closer to her "Just dress casually...tight clothes aren't appropriate for our baby" He kissed her hair as her blueberry scent wafted inside his nose. So long.

"And...you are free to live the house whenever you want...I won't restrict you any longer. Just don't do anything crazy or foolish...ok?"

May nodded her head "I'll" She felt warm inside. Her eyes could not help but search for his, she didn't know why she suddenly felt warm in her heart when he said those words and when he gave her freedom back.

"Thank you" She mouthed and left the garden.

Alex sighed 'I hope with this, you will try to value this relationship even if it's for a moment

................................................

On the road.

"Where are we going?" May asked curiously.

The man driving the car was focused on the road but he was happy she was initiating the conversation.

He responded "It's a surprise"

May grumbled "I hate surprises...tell me, what's there to hide anyway? Not like it'd be fun"

Alex smiled "You've become bold now? I heard from Aunt Janet that you missed me...did you?"

"Missed you, my foot!!" She scoffed.

The car came to a stop in front of a boutique named 'Classical ED'VERIE'

"This is the surprise?" May inquired, her eyes glistening joyfully. Of all places, she never dreamt of coming here. As a model, it was her very youthful dream to wear one of the most expensive yet adorning dresses of the best designer in the world.

Back when she still lived with her father, he would often lecture her on money spending that she lost the pleasure of such things but now that she was here. Gosh!! Why here?

She looked back at the man, only to find him staring at her. Something in her stomach churned and felt warm from his soft gaze "Do you like this place? If you don't we could find another place"

May's jaw dropped. Was this man crazy? Not like it? In fact, she loved it.

"It's good" She muttered. Alex took his phone and phoned a number. May was looking around through the window, the morning breeze making her feel relaxed. She stared at the huge glass building and felt excited already. Brother Xavier once deprived her of coming here but this man, who was her husband, the man she disliked, was the one to bring her to this place.

Did one of her wishes just come true but by a man she didn't like?

She stole a look at him as he was speaking with someone on the phone.

Why couldn't she like him? Was something wrong with her heart? From the very beginning after marriage, she found him caring, loving just like Xavier but her heart still disagreed to leave a space for him. Wouldn't be too selfish of her to keep giving a man like him false hopes? 

"Wife, the manager is my friend...you can just pick whatever you like, hmmm?" Alex had hung the phone up when he saw May looking at him. He was slightly happy for a moment but seeing how dazed she had become, he snapped his finger.

"Are you thinking of  a plan to run from me?"

May froze.

“Are you thinking of a way to run from me?” Alex consulted from her again, his eyes stuck on hers.

“What do you think?” The serene woman looked back with a mischievous glint in between her eyes. Since he had withheld her of liberty and even been giving her the cold shoulder, she arrived to a verdict of doing the same.

From the look in her eyes, Alex could have swore of her plans. His lips curled upward, with his delighted eyes admiring her face. No matter how much this wife of his would frustrate and turn his life upside them. No matter how much she said she hated him. Nothing changed. His love for her would never change.

“Is something on my face?” May frowned and looked away. Her waist was hurting badly and bitterly. She turned her neck to him and threw a cold glare at him. Alex noticed it and was distressed.

“What?”

May sneered “Nothing…how long are we going to stay in here…till I die?” Her voice was replenished with mockery.

Alex grinned inwardly as it was the prime time she let her guard down like this “Call me hubby”

“Eh?” May narrowed her eyes “H…hubby my foot!!!”

“I am inclined you've acknowledged me as your husband” Alex smiled at her before leaving the car. May was embedded in dumbfoundment.

In what way had she admitted that?

“If my wife craves for her dearest husband to smooch her, he'd gladly submit, after all wives are goddesses especially mine”

May squinted on her seat and nudged him off from the door, never minding they stood on the street.

“I never called you Hubby” She argued. Alex smiled at her “But you did”

“I didn’t” May was vexed “I can’t accept just anyone as my hubby and especially not you”

The out lookers on the road, fluctuated their expression on the couples by the road side.

“I never called you Hubby…Alex, stop playing with my mind” May winced.

“But you just did” The man was having the best moment of his life at that moment. It was the first time they ever talked like this after marriage.
