The Knight And His Princess

CHAPTER 16

Arthur’s POV

Before this son of b*tch can complete his sentence I swung my fist to his face in full force. He dares to speak ill about Rainah in front of me; about MY PRINCESS?? May be he has had live enough in this world… I could only see red as I continued punching the s**t out of this douche bad. I hold his hand tightly; that same hand which dared to touch her hand few minutes back. He tried to hurt my Princess with this f*cking hand, I will break it in pieces.

He groaned in pain as I bend his hand in the opposite direction, ready to break it. Suddenly I was pulled apart from that moron with strong arms that I assume were belong to my friends.

“Arthur stop it, he will die…” I heard my friend Sam’s voice behind me, I tried to break free of my friends’ hold but they only tighten their hold on me. Although it is very difficult for them to hold me back from attacking this f*cker here as I am a trained marshal artiest but still they tried there best.

“Leave me, I will break his hand. He dares to hurt her…” I shouted, despite of the loud music booming in the club people still gathered around the place where we were standing.

“Dude let’s go, he is already unconscious” Aaron another friend of mine said dragging me to our VIP chamber. Once I was in the room, I yanked my friends’ hold from my body.

“What is wrong with you Arthur? You do realize the consequences right.” Sam exclaimed.

“And who was he anyway? He doesn’t look someone I now, and what about the tiny girl that ran away from there?” Aaron asked. I suddenly realized that I should be with her right now rather than wasting my time with these two idiots. Without explaining them anything I left the room looking for the girl who owned my heart and my soul.

I passed through the sweaty bodies moving around the dance floor and went near the place where I beat the s**t out of that jerk a while ago. Fortunate for him that he is no longer there, may be the security already threw him out of this place. I move my eyes around looking for her, but she is nowhere around. I check the booths near but still didn’t find her. I decided to look for her in the comfort room. As I reached in front of the door, I politely asked a lady to look for her, but to my dismay the comfort room was all empty. I sighed and thanked the lady.

Where are you princess?

Soon my phone started ringing making me more annoyed then I already am. I checked the caller ID, its Dino. Without wasting any time I received the call.

“What is it?” I asked in a cold voice.

“Sir its Ms. Garcia, she looks very upset” I can hear the concern in his voice, but I am a bit relive that at least my men found her safe.

“Where is she right now?” I asked.

“Um near the steps outside the club’s parking area” he replied.

“Look after her, I will be there” and without waiting for his reply I disconnected the call and headed towards the entrance.

My baby is upset and somehow I am the one to blame. If I would have keep an eye on that f*cker before, than my princess would have never face this heartbreak today. I again failed to protect her.

Disappointment hit me hard when I found her fragile body shaking while weeping softly sitting on the steps. I silently walk to her and sat beside her. She didn’t notice me as her sad and innocent eyes were fixed at the night sky. I don’t know what is going on in her head but soon I notice another set of tears flowing freely on her cheeks.

Without being able to hold myself, I reached for her cheeks and gently removed her tears by my thumb. She jumped at that and looks into my eyes. I gave her a weak smile and continued wiping her wet cheeks.

“Arthur…” she mumbled looking into my eyes as if looking for something.

“Hmm” I hummed rubbing my thumb on her cheek in circular motion; I just want her to stop crying, seeing tears in her innocent eyes made me go crazy. It is this burning feeling in my heart that I can’t explain.

“Why your eyes are so familiar?” I stilled at what she asked, she didn’t recognize me yet. Should I be happy or should I be sad, I have no idea.

“Is that so?” I played along, she nodded her head, “Arthur I am sorry you have to see that” she said looking ashamed at what happen back in the club. I frowned at her apology, she doesn’t need to apologize for it in fact I should be the one to do that.

She moved her face from my hold and fiddled with her fingers, I tilted my head a bit to see her face clearly. In the light eliminating from the moon, she looks like a goddess.

“How’s your arm, is it still hurting” I asked her tried to change the topic, to which she only give me a shrug still not looking up in my direction.

“What about the wound on your leg” I asked her again and this time she replied with a meek ‘fine’. I held her chin with my index finger and lift her face up, her cheeks were again wet with the new set of tears.

“Look into my eyes” I commanded and she obliged. Slowly her beautiful brown eyes met my grey ones, and at that moment my heart beat fastened. Surely she has an effect on me that no other person has. She burst into tears breaking my heart in millions of tiny pieces.

“Am… am I so wo… worthless? You know wh… what he said that… that he is ashamed of… me” she said between her sobs. I was unable to hold back as I hugged her gently patting her head lightly. Deep down inside I was burning with anger towards that guy, how dare he tried to hurt my princess.

I felt her hugging me back as she hide her face on my chest and cried her heart out. I hugged her tightly showing her somehow that she is not alone.

“No guy likes me, am I so ugly” she spoke again, “they used to bully me back in my college, I… I thought Luca was different but no he thinks the same as everyone else thinks” I didn’t say anything but somehow felt that she was complaining about all this years that I had been away from her. She was complaining about everyone that bullied her at my absence. But not anymore, I am here to protect her and this time I will definitely not going to leave her to the world, I will stand by her side and will protect her with my life.

I have already decided what I have to do, and I am more the thousand percent sure that this is the right decision. I know this will defiantly change our lives, but I am not complaining about anything. Call me crazy but I will do everything to make her stay by my side for the rest of our lives. With that I asked her the most desired question that I always wanted to ask her since our childhood days.

“Rainah will you marry me”
