CHAPTER 35

He stared at sofia and then at me before using his hand to clean the tears that were planning to trickle down my face. "Both you and Sofia have a better life to live than stay with me," he voiced, breaking me down.

I sucked in my whole breath as the tears came gushing out now. His eyes widened at the way he saw me crying, some passerby had begun to stare, he had tried to confront me but it was to no avail. He stared at me before telling his guards to take me to where I could start living alone.

Why was he pushing us away? Did I offend him? The guard held me but I freed my hands and went in front of Marcus. "Why did you bring me to Chicago with you? Why didn't you just let me stay in Italy?" I said as my voice came harsher than intended.

I could feel the harshness, sadness, unhappiness, and of course anger in my voice. I was entirely pissed, I had wanted him to ask me to marry him again as he had always done but the fact that he was just saying that for fun made my heart break.

"You want us to leave?" I asked but he kept mute like he had gone deaf. "Fine, we would leave," I said as I held Sofia very tight and walked away.

Before I could get to the car he had wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me into a tight hug. "I don't want to lose you, I said those things out of fear?" he let out shocking me, I had always thought he wasn't scared of anything but I was indeed wrong.

"Why are you so scared?" he didn't say anything, rather he turned me around and hugged me as he rocked my back softly. I pulled away waiting for him to ask us to stay but he stood like a statue. I wanted to tell him how I feel but what would he think of me?

I turned to leave but he pulled me back and took my tiny hands into his giant ones. "Jane I’m sorry for being a jerk but I have never pleased a girl or been so attached to her. I don't even know how to show how I feel but I just can't help it when I see you, I think about you, I want to kiss you, hug you! I always dream about you.” he said scratching the back of his head.

“I always want to get out of the office early just to be with you, I won't be able to survive if you end up in danger,” he said gazing into my eyes. “I had tried to forget about you but it just is not earthly possible and,” he tried to continue but I removed my hand from his and went further to hug him.

I took some steps a little before cupping his face and limping up to kiss him. Our lips touched and everything in the world stopped, it just felt like it was just me and him in the world. I didn't know if he was feeling the spark I was feeling but I wanted him so much.

His eyes were wide open and I knew he was in total shock. This was what I had been wishing for all week and doing this right now I had no regret, he kissed me deeply as he pulled me tightly to his chest.

I could feel my whole body feeling the spark and I wanted more of this. God, I was a bad mom, I didn't even think about Sofia who kept giggling on her trolley.

Our kiss was stopped by the number of people who were recording and clapping. He smiled and placed his head on my forehead as we both kept smiling, “I want to stay with you?” I said as I stared at him.

He looked at me before holding me tighter.” I don't want to stay away from you too.” he said, making me blush. He held my hands and collected the key from one of his guards before putting Sofia in the back seat and telling the guard they would catch up later.

He kept staring at me when we sat in the car. This was exactly what I wanted and I would be happy to have more of this handsome man, he was perfect and flawless and I just didn't understand how he was forced by his father to take over what he does.

We packed the car in a parking lot of a house I hadn't recognized. “Where are we?” I asked, looking everywhere. He came to my side and held my hands in his as I carried Sofia with my other hand. He stared at me before speaking. “We will leave here for some time,” he said as we headed inside.

When we were inside I had put Sofia in the other room since she had fallen asleep. I walked out and closed the room silently, I checked everywhere for Marcus but found him in his room.

“Can I come in?” I said with a knock and he nodded with a smile. I stood at the window looking outside at the beautiful pool before his strong arms wrapped around my waist pulling me closer.

He turned me around and fixed his hands on my chin before lifting them. He stared at my eyes and I could see pure love, how much I loved him. His hands moved close to my hair and pushed a strand of hair to the back of my ear.

“Can I?” he asked as he held my hair ribbon. “Yes,” I nodded with a blush. “You look beautiful with your hair down,” he commented as he glared at me with a wide smile that got my heart beating hard.

He brought his mouth close to my ear before whispering hotly. “No matter what, you will always be my lady, my queen, my life, and everything.” I could swallow all that he had confessed, I pushed the strand of my hair back before staring at him.

He lifted my chin before kissing my lips softly. He started with a soft kiss before it got so intense and all my body wanted him so bad, he pulled away before looking at me.

“Do you want this?” he asked.

I stared at him before saying the only thing that I wouldn't ever regret saying. “Yes,” I said before kissing him harder.
