Obsessed with my forced Bride

Chapter 17 // Will he let me go ? //

° Valentina POV °

Did he just fight for me? But why ? At one point he says I'm not important to him. And then the second minute, he tries to kill a waiter as he touches me inappropriately.

"Because you are hurt and you aren't letting me fend for it."

I said to him through my tears when he asked me why I was crying. I guess he thought I was crying because I was scared. But why would I be scared when he saved me?

"Ok, ok, here's it."

I looked up at him as he forwarded his bloody hand to me. The knuckles were bruised up with dried blood. My eyes welled with more tears thinking how much hurt he has to go through just because of me.

I got my bag and took out the bandages. It's most appropriate now till we reach home. I put the bandages on his knuckles and then dusted off his full sleeve shirt which was dirty.

"Let's go home soon!!!"

I said while looking up at him. He seemed taken aback. Maybe I called his house home so that's why he looked shocked.

"Mr. Night, let's go. You will get an infection."

I told him seriously now. He nodded his head in daze and made me sit on the seat again. s**t!!! Was I sitting on his lap all this time?

My face burnt due to my heavy blushing. I ducked my head down so that he couldn't see me. We reached home soon and I didn't waste a second before dragging him with me inside the home. I yelled out for the butler to bring the first aid box. I made him sit on the couch and sat beside him. I took off the bandages and gasped when I saw his swollen knuckles.

"Who told you to fight with that waiter? I could have handled him. I have handled such creepy guys before. See, how swollen your knuckles have become!!"

Meanwhile the butler brought the first aid box and then went away when I told him to. I took out the antiseptic cream and applied it on his knuckles. He didn't even flinch nor let out any sound. I then wrapped his hand with the gauge and tied it securely.

"Why did you do it?"

I looked up and asked him. He was staring at me with some unknown emotions swirling in his eyes. He grabbed my waist and pulled me on his lap. His other hand went behind my nape and pulled me into a deep kiss. He kissed me feverishly, licking my lower lips to make an entrance inside my mouth. I closed my eyes and let myself slip in his ministration. He kissed me to his heart content and then left me. He started breathing against my face making me flush red.

"He dared to touch what's mine. He will get punished more. I'm not gonna let him live peacefully. And you, if I ever saw you around any guy, I f*****g swear I'll break your hands and legs and caged you in our room. Don't take my warning normally."

My breath hitched as he took my lower lips in his mouth and bit it hard. I could taste a metallic substance flowing down from my lower lips. I touched my lower lips and gasped when I saw blood on my lower lips.

What will he do when he gets to know about my first love? Will he do what he said?

I came out of my trance when he rubbed my lower lips. His eyes held something different which scared me. Something dangerous and gothic.

"Oh, mom!! See, what we thought and what is happening!!"

I heard Lara's voice and abruptly stood up from his lap. I blushed hard when I saw mom and Lara standing in front of us. Mom had a genuine smile and Lara was smirking at Xavier.

Xavier stood up and walked near mom before engulfing her in a tight hug. He parted away and smiled warmly at her. I was baffled seeing his changed behavior. A while back he was behaving like a possessed man and now he is looking all innocent and calm.

"Why did you bring her here?"

I heard Xavier asking mom while pointing at Lara. Mom just smacked his shoulder and walked near me. Her smiling face suddenly turned into a concerned one.

"Oh my God!! Valentina, are you okay? Why is your lips bleeding?"

Mom's words made me touch my lips again. I hissed in pain as the wound was still fresh. Why didn't I feel pain a while back? Was I so immersed in Xavier that I didn't notice it?

"I'm ok, mom. I just happened to bite my lips."

I tried to lie smoothly and hopefully mom bought it. But the smirk on Xavier's lips made me gulp in fear.

"Oh, Xavier. I have a job for you. I have brought Valentina's certificates and other necessary things for her admission in the uni. Get it done by the end of the week. After that you also need to leave for your honeymoon."

Xavier nodded at mom and went away while bumping his shoulder with mine.

"I hope he didn't harm you, dear."

Mom said to me.

"No mom, he didn't. Instead he was hurt because of me."

Mom was confused but when I told her everything she smiled delightly. Lara wiggled her eyebrows up and down.

"Love is in the air."

She air quoted. And mom just laughed at her. I couldn't understand what they understood until I heard mom saying,

"He is starting to fall in love with you."

What!!! Xavier and I love??? He is starting to fall for me. But how is it possible? It's hardly been two days since we met!!! How can he just fall for me??? Then what about my first love? Grandpa said he would let me go when I find my first love and help Xavier come out of his childhood trauma. But will Xavier let me go? Will he leave me when I'll tell him about my chubby boy?
