Xavier was sitting there on a couch with his laptop in her room as he refused to sit in another room to keep his eyes on her. He was still finding it hard to believe that her parents treated her like a stranger and physically hurt her.

"Please... ple... no... please... it hu... hurts..."

He heard her mumbled and instantly closed the laptop and rushed to her. She was sweating, trembling, and crying sleep thus made him panic.

"Lea.. leave me.. i... save me..." She cried moving her frame and he pulled her in his arms.

"Ssshh... it's a fine baby. No one is hurting you." He whispered some sweet words.

In a second she throws her arms around his neck and sobbed in his arms.

"Xavier... Xavier... they hurt me." She mumbled in his neck and cried hard.

"Baby, I am here. Go to sleep." He said rubbing her back while she was just crying.

She again fell asleep feeling safe in his arms and he laid her on the bed. This time she refused to let go of him and he sleep beside her snuggling her in his protective arms. He never did this before because he was never closed to any girl in past. It was the first time he sleeping hella close to any girl. The woman is not someone but his wife and he vows to protect her. He was burning in anger from inside seeing her in a vulnerable condition because her parents literally torture her at this level that she was having nightmares about it.

Xavier opens his eyes and found himself in her room. He glanced at her and kissed her hair then checked the time in his wristwatch. He never had such a peaceful sleep before. In fact, he never got a chance to sleep peacefully. He laid her properly on the bed and got down from the bed and went back to his room. He knew she hadn't forgiven him yet even she asked for his warmth it doesn't prove that she forgive him. He thought something and called someone.

"Hey.. son." His father said.

"Hello, dad. How're you and mom?" He asked walking to the balcony.

"We are good. How're you and Eve?" Alexander asked.

"Eve is not well." He replied hesitantly.

"Xavier, tell me what happened?" Alexander asked.

He took a deep breath and explains to him everything that happened between them.

"Damn it, son, what did you do it. Your mother didn't raise you like this. Don't repeat the mistake I did once in my life. I also judge your mom on her family background. Her parents were also like Eve's parents." He said disappointingly.

"I know dad and I am sorry for that but you also know I never closed to this any girl. These are foreign feelings for me." Xavier said.

"And talking about Eve's parents then I don't know why but I always felt that they aren't her real parents. She looks different from them." Alexander said thoughtfully.

"Are you serious, dad?" Xavier asked shockingly.

"I am serious, son. Eve is totally different from them. David, his wife, and his second daughter Madison are not good in person but Eve... she is too pure and innocent in between them." He said with a small smile.

"I felt it on our wedding day. Dad, I want to understand her. I want to listen to her. I love spending time with her. She is always cute when she makes different faces because I always engrossed myself in laptop." Xavier chuckled and his father laughed.

"I am happy that you are trying to give a chance to this marriage. God bless you both." Alexander said.

"Dad, I need your help. How do you make up with mom when you two fought?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck and his father laughed aloud.

"Alright, son then you have to do some unofficial hard work," Alexander said with a chuckle.

"And what is it?" He asked curiously.

His father explains to him what to do and they both hang up the call. Xavier never finds anything this tough. He closed his eyes then took a deep breath and opens his eyes back.

After an hour Eve woke up and sat on the bed rubbing her eyes. She glanced at the clock and widens her eyes. She remembers herself waking up in the morning then the argument she had with him opening her heart out to him. Her stomach made a sound and realization hit her head as she hadn't eaten anything since the morning. Just then the door cracked open and her handsome husband enters her room with a tray in his hand.

He sits in front of her and placed the tray in her lap. She starred at him for a second then looked away from him. He smiled a little and moved closer to her then cupped her face.

"I know you are still angry at me. And I am sorry for hurting you. You haven't had anything since the morning. So don't show your anger on the food. Eat this." He said kissing her forehead and she glanced at the food that looks delicious.

"I don't know much cooking but I tried something with your favorite strawberry." He said scratching the back of his nape while she widens her eyes after learning that he cooked this delicious-looking food.

"These are shrimp pasta, strawberry French toast, and Fragola Pazzo." He said pointing at the food and she gasped in horror.

She composed herself and wrapped her hand around his neck pulling him closer. She breathed in his neck and he rubbed her back. He broke the hug and kissed her cheek. He took a spoonful of pasta and fed her. She too ate from his hand without showing any tantrums.

"So how's it?" He asked wiping her mouth with a tissue.

She starred at him for a few seconds then turns her face other side making him shakes his head. He took the tray and went from there. After some time he come back and found her sitting in the same position with a balloon face. He went to her and sits beside her then pulled her in his lap thus she started struggling in his lap.

"Stop struggling. You are making things hard for me." He said huskily and she instantly sat straight blushing profusely.

She hit his chest playfully and kissed his neck.

"Are you still angry at me?" He asked tucking her hair behind her ear.

"I am not angry at you anymore because no one ever did this for me. No one ever makes me feel special." She replied sadly and he cupped her face.

"Don't be sad. I am sorry for those words. I never thought about it another way. I am sorry baby." He said kissing her forehead repeatedly.

"I forgive you that moment when you decide to make me feel special." She said snuggling in his arms as he cuddled her.

"Aren't we getting too much cozy, Mrs. Knight?" He asked tickling her waist a little and she laughed aloud.

"Stop it, Xavier." She said laughing hard and comes out of his lap rolling on the bed while he didn't leave her and continued to tickle her thus brings tears to her eyes.

He finally stopped trapping her between in his hands and kissed her nose. She wrapped her hands around his neck and lifted her face to kiss his lips. She closed her eyes as her lips touched his lips and he instantly kissed her back. His hand went inside her top and caressed her waist. He explores her mouth with his tongue and kept kissing her passionately. She moaned as he squeezed her bosom and tasted her mouth. He broke the kiss feeling out of the breath and panted hard keeping his head on her forehead.

"Your kisses are so addictive. I can never get enough of your kisses." He mumbled nibbling her lips one more time and she pushed him laughing aloud.

"Stop it now." She said turning her face toward him and he placed his hand on her cheek.

"Let's go out." He said rubbing his thumb on her cheek and her eyes lit up with happiness.

"Really then I will get ready in a few minutes." She said jumping on the bed and he chuckled at her excitement and grabbed her wrist.

"Relax. Take your time and pamper yourself because we are leaving for Paris." He said calmly but she let out a loud squealed hearing his words and throws herself in his arms kissing his face everywhere.

He held her protectively and made her sit on his lap making her wrapped her legs around his waist. She placed her both hands on either side of his face and kissed his lips. It was a slow yet passionate kiss while he let her kiss the way she wants to. She licked his lips and pushed her tongue in his mouth. She explored his mouth with her tongue and kissed him to show her happiness to him.

"Thank you so much for filling my life with happiness." She said breaking the kiss and panted hard.

"It just beginning baby. Many more are coming." He said rubbing his nose with hers and she rested her head on his chest.

She could hear his heartbeat and entwined their fingers. After a few minutes, he got down from the bed and walked to the bathroom. He placed her on the slab and kissed her forehead then went from there. She got down and removed her clothes to take a shower.

He come back to her room and put a packet on the bed as he heard the shower sound coming from the bathroom. He decided to get ready so went from there closing the door.
