18 I'll Punish You Hermosa

"Leave me alone Victorine Zephyrine!" She repeatedly screamed, which proved all Austin's doughts yes it's true he never liked Victorine he knew better than to trust a demon, demons are deceitful they can never be trusted he just didn't understand why Mira blindly trusts her

Mira pushed Austin away "don't touch me, go away!" She said while pushing him away "Mira it's me Austin" he uncomfortably said trying to touch her hands again but sadly she pushed him away again "No please don't touch me!" "hermosa!" He called out the nickname he gave her, he couldn't help but feel bad for his wife, even tears welled up in his eyes too, his wife's hurt is also hurting him

Mira finnaly took his hand hearing him call her by her nickname, he took her in his arms kissing her forehead, it looks like the nickname is the only thing that brought her out of that situation

"promise you'll never leave me Austin" she inquired with a broken voice, it really hurt him hearing his wife's voice so down "ofcourse I won't, you're my life Mira" he assured as he found the question useless, he thought she knew that already

"No don't call me Mira, I'm Hermosa to you,é 3 right" she asked almost uncertain "alright Hermosa" he assured not really getting the reason with his wife's sudden reaction, he though understood after the scene it must be difficult for her

he took her hands brought them to his lips and kissed them, Mira searched for his fa la 1ce which she found looking straight at hers with his lips still on her forehead, she pulled away from his embrace

"promise you'll never leave me alone not ever" she asked staring straight in his eyes "I promise you that hermosa" he assured "thank you" she said before passing out "Mira!! Mira!! Please don't leave me alone, I need you" Austin spoke in fear "please open your eyes Mira, please stay with me..don't leave me" he begged wishing she'll open her eyes but his wish wasn't furfuled as she didn't open her eyes

He carried her bridal style, with the aim of taking her to bed, he kept staring at her tired face and puffy eyes with dried tears, as soon as he reached the bed he carefully placed her there took a first aid kit, yes he has done a doctoral course back then but dropped it as his parents wanted him to manage the family business which he thought was his responsibility, so he knew exactly how to handle such a situation

He started treating her wound on her wrist, luckily it wasn't deeply cut but still needed treatment, he rubbed cream on it then in a magical way he took her wrist close to his eyes as they turned darker green, he just remained in that same position for about two minutes and in no time the wound was no more, if not for the line the blood made you won't know they was a wound there, her skin was naturally repaired he just had to get rid of the line made by blood

After slowly treating her wound, he bandaged the line of her hand as he believed it will hold her head in place, after safely warping the blanket on her he took the first aid box to the drawer then took his phone with the purpose of calling his mother in-law, he dialled in the number then called just with the first ring the women picked up "Austin my son, I'm glad you called I was about to call you.. how are you guys?" The women asked "hello too Mom and yes we're...I'm fine but mira isn't" he confessed

The news seemed to have shocked the women as he didn't here her say anything for about two minutes now "Mom! Mom! Are you there" he worriedly asked realising her silence "how is she now?" She finally responded "she's sleeping now Mom, she hurt herself on her wrist but don't worry I treated it!" He assured

"alright, if it's not that serious then don't take her to the hospital.. she hates hospitals" the women sadly warned "alright Mom" "and what about my grandchildren's?" The women asked

yes they already knew about her pregnancy, Austin told them a week ago but also warned them not to mention it to Mira, since she was scared of their reaction her parents were very happy and proud of their dotor they didn't expect to have little twins as their grandchildren's "they're fine Mom, Mira is out of danger..I just want to know if she has mentioned the name she mentioned today" Austin has used the past month to communicate with his mother in-law to know more about his wife so he found out about his wife's situation which is stimulated during rain if she's alone

"oh yes, she used to mention this name Victorine Zephyrine! If I ever meet this creature I promise to fight him or her until my death this person has caused so much damage to my family" the women cursed "it's the same name she called today" he wished to tell the women that he knew who victorine was but didn't want to worry her, he'll tell her once he have proof

"where's dad?" He asked trying to change the topic "he's on a business trip, please let me know when my baby wake up..I mean my babies since they are three now!" She said clearly trying to lighten up the situation "Yes I will, but am I not your baby too" he jokingly asked "of course you are, alright take care" "likewise Mom" he ended the call then turned his attention back to his wife who was still peacefully sleeping

He dialed some numbers which he called the person picked up almost instantly "hello sir" "what have you found?" Austin asked without even bothering to greet the man "well we found this women who might be our ticket sir" "just do anything in your power to find them, I need all the answers by Friday or You're fired!" It was already Monday which meant he had only had three days left since it was already a Monday, he hanged up without even waiting for the mans response, he needed answers soon and the wait was killing him

After looking at his wife one more time he quickly went to the kitchen to get her food incase she works up in the middle of the night,

About two minutes later Austin was already laying next to his wife with his hands protectively wrapped on her waist, he held her so tight like he was afriad of losing her

Around two a.m Mira started moving, she tried to free herself from a tight grip which held her waist and legs, she struggled freeing herself from his grip as she didn't want to wake him up but terribly failed as the person she didn't want to wake up opened his eyes "hermosa are you okay" he spoke still not letting go of his grip "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to wake you up" she apologized "thank god you're okay, I was afraid you.. nevermind so how are you feeling?" He excitedly asked ignoring her stupid apology "I'm hungry" "alright let me get your icecream" he said then started freeing her, after he successfully freed her he moved aside straight to the nightstand where he placed the icecream cake after he got hold of the bowl he went back to where she was seated and set beside her on the bed

He started feeding her and She quietly ate up all the icecream cake in the bowl in just ten minutes "do you need more Hermosa" he asked "no I'm satisfied, unless you want my stomach to burst" she joked and he laughed, it's been an hour since he saw his wife's smile and full of life, seeing her on the floor made him lose hope he even promised himself that if he was to lose Mira then he'll take his own life too, no one can kill a vampire unless itself which was easy for him

"You probably hate me after what happened earlier, I'll understand if you'll want a divorce" Mira sadly said after seeing her husband lost in his thoughts "no Mira in fact after what happened earlier, I feel like to stay with you even more so I protect you and help you overcome this.. I'll never think of a divorce Mira never!!" He assured Mira just nodded, he helped her get back in bed after he placed the bowl on the nightstand then tugged himself in

About a minute or so later when they've completely settled in with Mira in his embrace "Mrs Austin!" He said out loud which drew her attention as whe never called her by the name Everleigh it meant something serious, Austin truly respected the name Everleigh like he knew someone else who was named Everleigh, so she quickly responded "yes" "listen I thought of maybe visiting a psychologist to help you with..you know" he uncomfortably said "so you're saying I'm crazy" "no Mira I don't mean that, I just think seeing a psychologist will help with your fear, see I think it's someone's doi...." He stopped himself as soon as he saw Mira's tears "I'm sorry, we'll not go to any psychologist! love please stop crying" he pleaded comforting her "no Austin I'm not crying because I don't want to see a psychologist..but because you're too sweet!" She corrected "what do you mean?" He confusingly asked

"I mean Austin only a few guys will accept to marry a mad women and on top of that get her treated" "what Mira you're not mad, you're just mentally weak and it's not your fault, someone is trying to break you down..but we're in this together, they won't succeed" he assured then added "do you recall anything about earlier?" He asked hoping to get answers "no I only recall hurting my wrist but don't spot any scar here, where did it go?" She asked examining her wrist she was sure she cut her wrist and they was supposed to be a scar there, she looked at Austin's face who closed his eyes "Austin?" She said his name which sounded more like a question "I healed it I'm sorry" he admitted "you're sorry? I mean for what? I should be thanking you..I never liked scars and you making one disappear makes me really happy Austin, my words can't say enough" she said with tears in her eyes, he didn't respond just moved his face to hers then kissed her tears away "I promised to take care of you but failed, I'm really sorry" he apologized

well Mira didn't respond as she was tired of his apologies so she just nodded "do you want to play a game?" He asked "no, I want to call my dad, I've been thinking about telling him of my pregnancy" "your dad why not your Mom?" He asked clearly confused as he believed girls get more close to their mother more than their father "because he's the one that I'm more close to then Mom, you won't understand" she said Austin just nodded took his phone from the nightstand then searched for his father in-laws contact details which he called, the man picked up on the first ring "hello son, how are you?" the man greeted "I'm great how are you dad?" He returned the greetings "I'm good too, how is kiddo and.." "she's fine but she wants to tark to you dad" he cut in as he knew the man was about to spoil his secret he informed his parents in-law about their kids that are yet to come but he did that to hear their reaction, if they could be upset about it then he could make sure an convince his wife to never tell them but quite the opposite happened, they were beyond happy about it, they almost called their daughter to congratulate her but luck wasn't on their side as Austin stopped them as Mira didn't want to let them know, not just yet

"Alright please pass her the phone" then said and he just nodded, placed the phone on Mira's ear without letting go, he let his hand there allowing Mira to freely tark "hello pa" Mira greeted "kiddo, how are you doing? Have you eaten? What about your health?" The man asked so many questions at once he really missed his daughter although he knew she wasn't his biological daughter but he's the one who watched her grow from the mother's womb, yes he found Hazel when she was just about three month pregnant, he accepted her as his wife and unconditionally accepted her baby too even his parents don't actually know that Mira wasn't his biological child to him she'll always be his kiddo and will never let anyone know about the secret if it was upto him then his wife could not even know about it but unfortunately it was his wife who told him about it

"I'm very fine pa, just that I'm.." she went mute pressing her hands on her mouth to stop words from coming out of her mouth but continued as her dad seemed mute "I'm pregnant pa" she confessed with a broken voice "okay I don't want that broken voice, did you being pregnant is the most special thing to ever happen to a women..yes you're 19 years which makes you a women now, many ladies out there wants to experience your blessing kiddo" he advised and she wrapped her tears, she surely didn't expect this beautiful reaction

"listen kiddo, you're blessed and I'm very happy for you you've finally extended my family" the man confessed "now my daughter is strong she's not gonna be sad, she'll raise my grandchildren's just like I raised her" he motivated

"did you tell your Mom?" He asked even knowing that his wife knew already "not yet, dad you're always the first to know about my everything remember" she said and then the her father had a flashback

Flashback

A girl with curly brown hair if you look closely you'll notice it's a younger version Mira when she was around 14 years, she came running to a man who you'll also recognise as Brett, when she reached the man she started tarking while crying with blood on her hands "dad, Mom will be very angry at me I hurt myself again but this time I don't know how it happened dad please believe me" she pleaded to her dad who was still busy cooking and just responded "alright, where did you hurt yourself this time kiddo" the man asked turning to face her "under here" she said pointing to her feminine "blood keeps coming out dad and I don't know how to stop it..it's my birthday tomorrow and Mom will cancel my party if she finds out that I was careless again please don't tell her" she pleaded "kiddo, you didn't hurt yourself come here let me show you something" she obeyed as she went close to his dad who took out his phone and showed her a video, Mira was pretty smart so she understood the video so fast "so dad I'm a grown up now?" she asked not even finishing the video "yes! I'll tell your Mom in the meantime, do you remember the gifts I gave you last time?" "Yes" "there's a box I asked you not to open, go open it and you'll find pads they are what you need during this period, here let me show you how it's done" he said showing her another video "no dad I won't understand using a video and Mom is not here maybe go illustrate it" she teased "sure let's go I'll go show you" she nodded and they both went to her room to show her how to put on a pad

Present

"Dad are you there" Mira worriedly asked as she noticed his silence "yes I am..just recalled the day you first received your cycle I was the first to know" he said "oh yes I do recall that too, I thought I had actually hurt myself" she said and they continued with their conversation

About a few minutes later, after Mira ended the call and went back to bed as it was still three in the morning which was naturally

About ten hours later, Mira and Austin were at the hotels dining hall having dinner, Mira didn't want to eat at home due to yesterday's episode she wanted a peaceful environment to freshen up her mind which Austin decided to take her on a date he never took her on one anyways

"Mira" an excited voice called out her name "oh chase, how are you?" She responded and stood up to hug him "may I join you?" "Of course" she agreed pointing a seat beside her "so what are you doing here?" Chase confusingly asked "oh just for a break with my husband, but what are you doing here?" "Well this is one of my restaurant, but it's more special because I included a hotel in it" he humbly said "of course it is, I'm loving it here" she complemented "aw thanks" "anyways have you spoken to your fiance Zoe?" She asked

"Zoe isn't my fiance, my parents wanted a business deal and thought a marriage was a good attempt but she's not marrying me, she'll marry my brother instead" he confessed "oh really, does she know that?" "I guess we'll break the news to her soon, I was the one introduced to her so it's natural she thinks I'm the one to marry her but no, my brother will" she just nodded wondering how the doll is gonna take the news "how do you know Zoe and me? Did she do something to you? I swear I won't spare her!" "No she didn't, well I'm a witch so found out on my own" she lied

she wanted to protect Zoe even after what she have done to her, a womens self-respect is more important to her and she knew Zoe will lose it if he was to confront her

"Well can I tell you a secret too" he asked "yes" "I'm a dragon too" he confessed "oh you are? Listen I have family..." "Good evening Mr Lace" she didn't finish her sentence as Austin interrupted he sounded super angry "good evening to you too Mr Ford" chase politely returned the greetings,

he and Austin have met several times at bussiness parties and in the underworld where they fought against each other "I'm sorry to cut your conversation short but me and my wife have to go, Mira let's go now something came up" he angrily said holding her wrist

she was confused at his sudden reaction "but Austin I haven't finished my dinner yet" "is it written finnish me" he angrily said and aggressively dragged her away which made chase angry "hold on Mr Ford, Mira is my friend and I won't let anyone bully her! not infront of my eyes!" chase angrily said standing up "oh really have you seen her finger, she's my wife and I suggest you stay out of our marriage" Austin responded with the same tone as his eyes darkened with fire and his fings out "oh little vampire, I suggest you let go of the ladies hand or else.." chase responded with his eyes also darkening with fire

"stop this both of you!" Mira angrily said and the mans seemed to calm down with their evil features disappearing "chase thank you for your concern but this is between my husband and me, I would appreciate it if you stay out of it" she pleaded "but Mira.." he apposed "no don't worry I married him for a reason he won't hurt me..please take care" she said and he nodded "give me a call if you'll need anything" he said clearly concerned "I will thanks" she assured and he nodded

He almost hugged her but she stopped him raising her hand "take care Mira" he embarassingly said

Austin picked his wife bridal style with an angry face but his eyes full of desire, she hoped he said something but didn't he just warked up straight totheir room and when they finally arrived to their room, he threw her on the bed and started removing his clothes, Mira was truly scared she have never seen him this way before

"what..are....you doing?" She asked clearly scared "I'm going to punish you hermosa" he said as he teared her dress exposing her nakedness, he has seen her body several times but never gets tired of it, it gets beautiful with each passing day since her skin even glowed due to pregnancy

his eyes travelled down to her belly, he noticed her swallon bump, it has grown Abit then last time "tonight I'm going to punish you so badly that you'll think twice before doing what you've done hermosa" he spoke in a husky deep seductive tone which send shivers down her spine
