Chapter Twenty One

I finish setting her up and the other nurses carry her away. We almost lost her today. As I head to the family, I can see the tension in their eyes, as they all shivered in anticipation.

"Doctor, how is my wife?" the husband asks.

I look at them with an expressionless face.

"Well.... She's okay. She had suffered a severe concussion but she slid passed it. Don't worry. We still have to run some more tests and leave her under observation for a few days. Now excuse me." I say. I am about to walk away when the husband hugs me unexpectedly.

"You don't know how happy you have made me. One greatest pain in the world is loosing a wife. I just thank you that you have returned my world to me. I do not know how I can repay you." he says amidst sobs. I smile and say,

"I have a husband too. And I love him from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't imagine loosing him." I say, thinking about Wallace.

Just then, I see a familiar face staring at me from a distance. He was in black slacks and a white official shirt, all buttoned up. His cologne reached me from across the room as he handled his cufflinks while staring straight into my eyes. He was emitting an aura of anger. He stares angrily at the man who was hugging me. Sensing danger I withdrew from the hug and tapped him on the shoulder.

I then remove my outfit and leave it in my drawer, changing into my casual black floral dress. Immediately I walked out of my room, I am met with Wallace's angry stare. He takes my hand. His aura was downright scary. As usual, everyone feared him. And by virtue of that they all feared me. He always released an aura of death and power around people. But around me, he was warm. Usually. Today he also released that aura around me and I was scared of him. Of what he might do to that guy. People made way for us as we walked through the hallway heading to the car.

Once we reached, he sat next to me. He didn't even speak, but by the way his chest was rising and falling, I could tell that he wanted to kill so bad. He then spoke to our chauffeur in Italian and we changed course. I guessed he was heading for a business meeting or something.As soon as we arrived, He double checked for his gun and turned to me his aura softening up.

"Stay here." he says to me and he is about to leave but I grab his hand and pull him in for a kiss. I grab on to his neck as he wraps his hands around my waist and pulls me so close to him out bodies are in contact. His heart is racing and so is mine, as I try to imagine life if he dies. I can't bare it. Our lips move in sync as he dominates every aspect of the kiss.

"Come back to me alive." I tell him breathlessly as we draw out of the kiss.

"I always will princess." he replies equally breathless.

"I love you Wallace." I say.

"I love you more than life Iris Wallace Accardi." he says as he kissed my forehead.

He walked out followed by about twenty men and locked the door. After a while, it rained bullets and I covered my ears due to the continuous shots. After a while of silence, He walks out with blood all over his shirt. He opens the door quickly and gets in. I look at him and he sees the horror in my eyes.

"Iris, I told you, I can never hurt you. Ever. I love you with all that I am. Don't be scared of me."

"It's hard not being scared yet you release that aura..."

"It's for others not you. I soften up only for you. And I expect you to see that."

"Hm. It's weird how you take lives while I'm busy saving them."

"Fine. I won't anymore. Unless I see a man who is not me, even steal a glace at you, like that guy, then I will rip their hearts off without a second thought." he hisses, obviously pissed.

"I'm so sorry Wallace. It won't happen again." I say.

But he was still angry. I knew I had to calm him down.

I pulled him to me and we kissed again, but this time I sat on him. As we kissed, I slowly wined on him. His eyes got dark and I could feel the desire rushing through his veins. He was clenching his fist so hard.

"Stop holding back." I whisper as I ran my finger across his chest, unbuttoning his bloody shirt.

"But you aren't ready for sex. Not with me.I don't know how to go slow." he says, breathlessly.

"Not sex, foreplay love." I whisper to his neck. He ordered the chauffeur to turn the mirror then turned to me, smirking.

He wraps my hair thrice in his fist, pulled my head back, then whispers is a hoarse voice,

"I'll make sure that you won't get your mind off me."

With that, he plants kisses on my neck causing me to shiver. He then bites it and slowly soothes it with his tongue. I grab on tightly to his shoulders as I felt his member harden against my womanhood. His kisses slowly goes down to my breasts and he looked up at me. Without warning, he grabbed one with his other hand and worked on the other with his mouth, playing with my nipples. I felt the urge to just rip his clothes off and let him slam into me with all the might in the world, but I restrained myself.

He sucks on hard as I moan softly, leaving scratch marks on his chest. He then moves my hair to my neck and asks me in a hoarse voice,

"Who do you belong to?"

"Wallace Accardi." I say breathlessly.

"Yes princess. You are all mine. Only Mine." he says, relaxing. We then share a passionate kiss, and I sink in his chest. Thank heavens I saved the guy. Wallace could have killed him. When he says he will rip out the heart of anyone who looks at me, he meant it because he did just that, to a random guy who smiled at me. I shiver at the thought. As much as it really excites me, I have a feeling this might be bad at some point. Once we arrive at home Wallace finds a man in the house waiting for him.

"Long time sir." The 'Alfred' portrayed man said. Immediately Wallace saw him, he locked me inside the car. I was startled but remained silent. They started speaking in Italian. As I rehearsed the words to confront Wallace, a certain woman opened the car. I quickly took a gun and aimed it at her, causing her to lift her hands. She was about to look at me, but I roared at her.

"Don't you dare turn."

"Iris?" she asks excited.

I think for a second, but I kick her out, lock the door and windows, as she hits hard on the car. Soon, Wallace comes.

"Is that Iris? Wallace do you know what Raul will do to you if he finds out that you have Iris? He will rip you to shreds" she tells Wallace. Wallace switches to Italian again and they argue with the woman. Later she speaks in a soft voice,

"Just know Wallace, whatever you are doing is a very big mistake." The people then leave and Wallace opens up the door.

"Wallace, who are those?" I ask.

"Ignore them. Iris, I love you, so much." he says again.

"I love you too Wallace." I say, but inside my head, there is one question haunting me. Who is this Raul?
