The unC.R.I.M.E

Chapter 18

"So, you're having a child?" Czar broke the silence as him and I swayed side to side, dancing to the music that was playing. I smiled and nodded, looking up at his tall figure and meeting his eyes.

"Yeah, I just have to sign a few more documents," I smiled, unable to contain my excitement, "and he'll be here. It's only a matter of days before I'm a mother," I was so excited for this new step in my life.

I've always wanted children and I was foolish to have believed that I needed a man to help me have a child. We're living in different times, and there was a lot going on out here. A lot of children, hoping to find parents and have that safe home, and I'd take it upon myself to help as much as I can. Just like my parents have.

"Are you sure you're ready?" I was in too much of a good mood to take any kind of offense, if he had intended to offend me.

I nodded my head, "I've never been ready for anything much like this in my life. I've always wanted to be a mother, Czar," I moved my hand on his shoulder, moving it to his neck and holding him around his neck instead, so that I could speak to him directly.

"I'm so happy for you," he told me, his lips stretching into a smile and I found myself getting lost in his features. My smile fell off my face as I looked into his eyes that felt like they knew every secret of mine and knew the very depths of my soul.

"Your eyes will be the death of me, Czar..." I whispered as I wrapped my other hand around his neck, bringing myself closer to him because I wanted to feel his body against mine. I wanted to feel his heat and I wanted to feel him. I wanted him close, and I wasn't afraid to bring him closer.

"They're so dark, evil and sinister," I paused, listening to Ruelle's Find You and flowing smoothly with the music as he placed his hands on my waist, bringing me impossibly closer to him.

"Yet they make me shiver," I told him honestly as I felt him dip me. We were now face to face and my eyes were looking directly into his, "in the most pleasurable way..." I breathed out and I saw him smirk, just listening to me.

"Stay away from me, Czar," I said to him as he pulled me up and placed my hands for me behind his neck so we resumed our position, swaying, "you're bad news."

"But I'll be good just for you," he said darkly as he removed his hands from my waist and wrapped them around my neck, hugging me tightly. My arms moved from his neck, wrapping around his waist and I listened to his slow and steady heartbeat.

"What do you want from me, Czar?" I asked him, wondering if he heard me, but I closed my eyes, enjoying the way we were dancing and the music playing in the background.

"Only your heart, Dr, only your heart."

"Are you kidding me? The photographer only came now?" one of my younger sisters complained as she tried to fix her make-up, rushing to stand with us as we all stood together, waiting for the photographer to get the camera ready.

He kept apologizing and explaining that his car had broken down and it's never happened before. I was of course, alright with him having arrived late, I didn't have a problem with it. But everyone else did.

"Czar and Sabrina," my mother called, "come stand here," she called us to stand beside her and my dad, and I was surprised because that doesn't happen. My parents usually sit in two throne like chairs, and we all stand behind them, making it look like they were royalty and we were their royal subjects, and all the kids, sat by their feet.

"Today," my mother said as she called Czar and me and I cleared my throat and avoided the looks from my siblings, moving to stand next to my mother and Czar stood next to me.

"Is Czar going to take the family portrait with us?" I heard Leonardo ask and I didn't even want to turn back and face him because I know he's very upset.

"Well, it would be rude not to," my mother said, "I mean, we are taking with Ivy as well."

"Ivy is my girlfriend. Czar is not her boyfriend."

"Uh, well," my mother shrugged and just fixed her golden dress, running her hands through her expensive weave.

"You know what, I f*****g can't," Leonardo snapped as he stepped out of his place and I turned to look at him hoping he wouldn't throw a tantrum, "are you serious right now?" he looked right at me and I looked down and away, not wanting to look his way.

"Do you guys know Czar Hutcherson is my boss?" he asked everyone, after he saw that I wasn’t going to answer him, "mum, did you know that?"

"Really?" my mother asked me and I nodded, biting the insides of my cheek. "Ok," she shrugged, "what's the problem, Leonardo? Do you not want her getting along with your boss?"

"I don't like you, Czar," Leonardo said directly to Czar, "and I don't want you anywhere near my baby sister. I know this is me giving up my life but I'll be dammed if I keep quiet about this. My sister deserves better than you," and the whole room was just in silence, in shock.

"I know the kind of person that you are, and I don't want you tainting my sister. I can't just sit here and act like I don’t know the monster that you are."

"Leonardo-" I tried to stop him.

"No, Sabrina and I told you to stay away from him! I told you, because I know him! I know him, Sabrina!"

"Leonardo calm down, baby," my mother stood up trying to calm him down but he stepped back and held his hands up, stopping her from approaching him.

Leonardo glared directly into Czar's eyes, "there are billions of women out there, stay away from my sister!" he exclaimed, getting angrier, "can't you see that you're going to ruin her?! She doesn't need you in her life, she can do without you!"

"Leonar-" I began. 

"Are you defending him?" Leonardo looked at me with disgust, "defending this monster? You don't know him like I do, Sabrina! You don't know him! And you're acting so silly and chi-!"

"Enough!" I yelled at the top of my voice and Leonardo stopped, "enough! I've heard you, Leonardo, time and time again and it's enough! I've had enough!" I stepped up to his face, "I can take care of myself, Leonardo. I am not a little girl. What I do with Czar and my relationship with him is none of your business. The same way I don't involve myself with Ivy and your relationship, I expect the same respect. For crying out loud," I snapped, getting angry, "let me do what I want to do for once and let me live my life."

I pushed him with my shoulder, storming out of the room.
