Obsessed with my forced Bride

Chapter 18 // Never letting her go //

Valentina climbed up the stairs hurriedly. She wanted to avoid Xavier at any cost. While running through the corridor she didn't notice a particular someone coming out of the room.

"Aah!"

She winced in pain while rubbing her nose tip as it got into contact with a hard surface.

She lifted up her eyelashes and gasped when she saw Xavier standing in front of her with a sly smirk. She couldn't grasp anything as she was pulled inside the room in one go. Her hands were pinned beside her head with Xavier pressing himself from the front. Xavier pecked her lips and then again turned her around pressing her face on the wall.

"Where were you?"

Valentina heard his raspy voice ringing in her ears. Her hands became cold and goosebumps erupted on her body.

"With mom!!"

A small whisper left her mouth as she felt him inching closer and placing his face in the crook of her neck. Her hands involuntarily made a fist and she closed her eyes tightly.

Valentina frowned when she didn't feel the hard chest against her back. The grasp on her wrist was also missing. She turned around and found Xavier sitting on the bed with his legs spread apart. He looked hot in that posture.

"Come here!!"

Xavier pointed his two fingers at her and gestured to her to come closer. Valentina took a moment before her legs started walking on their own. She stood in front of him like a prey. Xavier pulled her down on his lap carefully. She sat on one of his thighs with Xavier's hand wrapped around her waist.

"You have some rules to follow babygirl!!"

Valentina blinked her eyes continuously at his endearment.

"What rules!!??"

Valentina asked with confusion written all over his face. How does his posture change in a flicker of a moment?

"Rule number 1, you are never gonna get close to any guy regardless of his relationship with you. Friend, no!! Brother, no!! Uncle, no!! Nothing. Do you get me?"

Xavier asked in a dangerously low voice. Valentina shivered but brought herself to nod at him.

"Rule number 2, you are always gonna obey me. Never dare to disobey me."

Valentina again nodded.

"Rule number 3,...."

Knock!!!

° Xavier POV °

I frowned hearing the knock. It pesters me a lot whenever someone interrupts my privacy.

"Who is it?"

I asked in my loud voice, causing Valentina on my lap to flinch.

"Mom's calling you two!!"

I heard Lara's voice. I tried to control my anger and responded to her with a coming soon.

After she went away, I looked at Valentina who looked like a little lamb who was at my mercy. From today's incident I knew one thing, what I feel for her is something more than possession. Something more than Obsession. At this point, I don't want to let her go. Whatever the reasons for her being nice to me, I'll make sure she is like this with me for the rest of my life. I'll make sure she always sticks by my side. And I'll always make sure I break the bones of every male who even dares to look at her.

But for now I needed to make her obey my rules. The rules which will always instill the fear inside her that she can't run away from me. Not today, not tomorrow, not in future. She is tied to me for the rest of my life. If her presence is what I need then her presence will be the thing I'll cage first.

Her every smile, her care, her tears, her joys, I'll have my right over each and everything that is related to her.

I tipped her chin up and pressed my lips on her, giving her a lingering kiss. I dropped a wet kiss on her jaw before letting her go. We both went downstairs to have our breakfast. I didn't drink anything except the usual black coffee. My eyes were always on her. I noticed every single thing about her. The way she tucks her hair strand behind her ears, the way a smile makes its way to her lips Every Time she talks with mom, the way a prominent, almost invisible blush is present on her cheekbones. All made her look exceptional and beautiful. An arrogant smirk crawled it's way as I knew her beauty belonged to me, the beast.

After we were done with the breakfast, mom and Lara went to their respective rooms to take a rest. Me and Valentina were left alone in the room. I didn't waste a second before carrying her upstairs. She didn't protest, making me smile. She surely is an obedient baby.

Instead of going to our room, I took her to my study room. It was kinda beige and vintage themed. The huge chair was placed behind the table. I placed her down on the table before standing in between her legs. My hands rested on either side of her hips. I didn't say anything and just took into her calm posture. Why does she always make me lose my posture?

"What happened?"

Her meek yet soft voice came to my ears. I closed my eyes hearing the soft melody. I had brought her here to talk about her uni admissions. But damn!!! She is such a distraction. Clearing my mind out of those all not so innocent thoughts, I cupped her jaw and made her look at me. Her lips puckered towards me making me intake a sharp breath.

"Which uni do you want to apply for?"

She answered in some incoherent words that I didn't understand. I realized my mistake was cupping her face and that's why she wasn't able to talk. I removed my hand from her face and let her talk.

"I don't know yet. I'm still new to this city!!!"

She answered in a babyish voice that made me coo at her. The small pout on her face was irresistible that made me lean down and capture them with my lips. This was it!!!! This small human belongs to me. Doesn't matter how we got together but now she belongs to me and I'm never letting her go away from me at any cost.
