David's POV
I had always prayed to God to make it a bad dream that I had lost her and I would find her sleeping next to me when I open my eyes.And today the heavens opened its gates finally granting my wish.Living without her all these years has made me realize the extent to which I had missed her.Seeing her alive and breathing was a miracle,a dream come true for me and at that moment I knew...I knew that the Gods had not abandoned me...maybe they have punished me by separating her from me for all these years,but they have showered me with their blessings by giving her back to me.I am more than grateful to see her alive.
But I wonder why was she putting up a facade.Was it for her father's sake?All I know is that I will win her back even if I have to crawl on my knees.But why does she hate me after knowing that I was not involved in her murder attempt.I sighed and closed my eyes to sleep.
"Are you here to sleep?",a voice snapped throwing a magazine at me.
I opened my eyes to see Ian walking inside the room along with Alan.I looked away ignoring both of them.
"Are you a child to ignore me ,Mr.King?",he asked again to draw my attention.
"Get lost,I hate you..."I replied ignoring him once again.And why wouldn't I?This moron kept me in dark about my angel for 2 years.I officially hate him now.
"Please...don't hate me..how will I survive...Don't break my heart so brutally...how will I live without your love,darling",Ian said dramatically faking tears while Alan started laughing.
"Drama Queen",I glared at him.
"Cut the crap and answer me old man,Are you here to sleep?Dad gave you servant's quarters, yet you are here all comfy and getting ready to have a good night's sleep.I know that the servants quarters in Knight's mansion is comfy but that doesn't mean that you have to forget why the hell you are here in the first place.Thank god ,dad didn't give him a guestroom in the mansion,otherwise he would have slept comfortably for a week...Stupid moron",he mumbled the last part,but I heard him.
"But what am I supposed to do?",I was confused by his outburst.
"Nothing...Just don't do anything....I'm sorry.I disturbed your sleep,go back to sleep,or should I sing you a lullaby",Ian spat mocking me.
"But.."
"Don't you want your wife back?",he was pissed off.
"Yes..."
"Then why are you wasting your time.Go and woo her",Ian said in an annoyed tone.
"How?"
"Are you seriously asking me that?what am I supposed to do with you?I can't believe I'm helping you to seduce my own sister"...he said slapping his forehead.
"Exactly..why are you helping him",Alan asked him.
"I have seen them both suffer being away from each other.And also my sister loves him...she is just denying it ",Ian replied slowly thinking of something.
"Really...but you never cared to tell the truth to me for the past two years",I asked sadly .
"I wanted to and was about to tell you the truth,but someone stopped me from revealing the truth saying that Vina needed space for the time being",he replied.
"Who?",me and Alan shrieked together.
"Hmmm...it's your dad".
"Dad?..Why did he...He knew that Siya was alive?",I was shocked.
"Yes...and he was the one who stopped me from telling you the truth".
"I can't believe my own dad let me suffer .But yes ..I deserved it...I deserved it very much for hurting her",I shook my head in frustration.
"Enough with your guilt trip...buckle up and use your charms now to win my sister back.Come on ...what are you waiting for?Sneak into her room".
"Are you really her brother?"Alan mocked Ian.
"Very much...haven't you noticed...we both have the same blue eyes like my dad",Ian said proudly.
"Of course...but the same blue eyes I love so much looks scary in another persons face",I mused.
"I'm not scary,I'm handsome"..Ian was offended.
"I meant your dad and Damien.They hate me and are ready to bury me six feet under.What if they find out ?"
"Don't tell me that you are scared?",he mocked me.
"I'm not...I just don't want to get into more trouble",I told him my concern.
"They are not angry at you...they just want to murder you for hurting Vina.Well Damien is blinded by his brotherly love for Vina,but dad...there is another reason why dad hates you",Ian smirked.
"And what is it"...,I questioned him.
"You are my mom's favourite actor it seems.Well that explains why my sister loves you.My mom used to watch your stupid teenage movies while she was pregnant with Vina and that pretty much irked dad and still do,so now you know the second reason why he hates you",Ian said in a bored tone.
"But how is it my fault? ,I'm an amazing actor and have a lot of fan following",I said chuckling.
"No you are not...I'm better than you.But don't worry brother in law...I'm here to save your day...As I said I will help you sneak into her room .Come with me", he replied half sarcastically and half seriously.
"Wait...where is Siyara ?Did she eat something?Is she crying?",I knew she was with Isabella and Ian's mother but I was still worried as she was not familiar with them.
"She is with Isabella...don't worry...she is asleep and Isabella will take care of her.Trust me she is good with kids",Ian assured me.
"What about Damien?He particularly don't like Siyara",I was worried about my little angel.
"Who told you that?Damien loves kids and whatever he blabbered there ,don't take it seriously.He is just protective of Vina.And Isabella would have punished him by now.He might be sleeping on the couch",Ian chuckled thinking of his brother.
"What willhappen if your dad and brother finds out that you are helping me",I didn't want Ian to go against his family for my sake.
"What else...my dad will do the usual",he replied.
"And what exactly is that?
"He will throw me out.But don't worry..I always come back without a hint of shame on my face",he winked at me.
"Wow man...you are shameless" ...Alan exclaimed.
"Why would I be ashamed...dad should be ashamed to throw me out...And also for your information it's my moms house...so I have every right to be in this house because I'm her sweetie pie",he chuckled.
"What do you mean by that?"
"That means my dad has nothing in his name...everything he has ever earned is in my mom's name.My dad may look like an arrogant and angry man,but when it comes to my mom he is just a lovesick puppy who loves her beyond the moon",he explained.
"Ok sweetie pie...lets get going",Alan instructed Ian.
Ian led the way to my Siya's room and helped me sneak in.He and Alan left after wishing me the best for my endeavour but not before warning me,
"David..she was a cute kitten before...now she has grown into a tigress and has strong claws ..so beware of her wrath".
"I know...and thank you".
"You should be thankful",he smirked and left from there with Alan.
Once I was inside her room,I took in the surroundings for a moment.It was an elegant room with a huge king size bed in the middle.And there was a painting of The Kiss on the wall.I smiled seeing the painting which depicted a couple kissing.But none of the paintings were more exquisite than the the live painting sleeping on the bed.She was looking nothing different than before,maybe a bit more beautiful .her bosoms were more round and fuller and the way she was sleeping, like an angel invoked all those emotions that I had suppressed all these years. I felt like a pervert ogling at my own wife.I walked slowly making sure no sound was made which would disturb her slumber and sat down on the bed near her sleeping form.
Siya,my angel.What have you done to yourself?What happened to my lovely Siya?Why is she behaving like this?Years have changed her into a cold person.But I sort of like this feisty version of her.She has become more daring and bold now.But the most important thing that was lost from her eyes was her innocence.It was my fault that I failed to protect her.Megan's plot to murder her killed her innocence as well.How will I bring her back?
I gazed at my beautiful wife,undressing her with my eyes in a lecherous manner.Don't blame me for lusting my wife,if something is to be blamed,then blame the years I had missed being with her.But I will never force her ever again.I will control my feelings until she reciprocates the same.I was here to enchant her wih my charm as Ian stated, but I'm the one getting seduced by her and she is the one bewitching me without doing anything.Suddenly,she stirred in her sleep making me cautious .Soon my angel started whimpering in her sleep.
"P-Please ...leave me ...don't ...Please ...",she started crying.I guessed that she was having a nightmare of that disastrous day .My angel was panicking in her sleep.I laid down near her and pulled her close towards my chest and caressed her back slowly ,
"Angel...ssshhh...Sleep my love...I'm here now ...I will never let you go again...Just come back with me Siya...I love you more than anything ,love..."I comforted her, scared that she might get up from her sleep.But to my surprise ,she didn't wake up but calmed down and snuggled into my chest as she used to do before and was sound asleep in no time.I kissed her cheeks affecionately looking at my love sleeping like a baby.
The only thing I am determined is that I'm going to lose myself to win her back.More importantly I'm going to treasure her love and lock it inside my heart never letting her go.It is the only purpose of my life now.I had loved her to the point of setting her free,but now I love her to the point which makes me want to cage her in my heart forever.Soon I also fell into a deep slumber after almost four long years as I had found my only solace sleeping so comfortably hugging me.
So how was the chapter?
