Chapter 9 OBSESSED WITH HER

AUTHOR S POV: ' Why are you crying? He asked acting innocent. After all, he was the only one who was responsible for making her feel like this. But still, he has to act like this. He was called evil for a reason. She got down from that big seat and ran towards him. not able to think anything else. He seemed the refuge she was begging for earlier. He loved it when she circled her arms around him. ' There was something, she said without completing her sentence and cried in his arms. How na?ve of her. She was crying in his arms whom she wanted to run from so badly. ' What thing, dear? henry asked loving her scent from this close. ' Something big… she was replying but then stopped thinking she would look stupid to imagine things in the dark. ' Why are you not saying anything? he asked again starring at her questioningly. ' I am just scared of the dark. She lied when she wanted to yell about that scary thing that was scaring her for the past few days. ' don t be scared. I am here. Nothing can harm you. His words sounded just like her father's. ' Thank you. She said getting embarrassed for acting like this. ' No need, dear. He said smiling but his smile vanished soon when she pulled back leaving his arms empty. ' Where were you lost, girl. I was looking for you everywhere. Lea asked when she was the one who got lost in the first place. ' Nowhere. I was waiting for you to return. Mia replied hiding her state from her knowing she will get worried for her too much. ' Did you cry? lea asked starring at her inquiringly. ' No. it s just too much dust suddenly came in my eyes when checked in the hall. Mia replied while all this time he was starring at her nonstop. ' You decorated the castle very well Mr. henry. I think a few more decorations and renovations and this place will look new as possible. Lea spoke seriously showing her seriousness in the work. ' Thank you for your kind visit. I will keep it in mind while doing future work. Henry replied knowing it will not be a good idea to ignore her friend like this. ' I am happy to be here. Now if you don t mind, please we will go now to continue our work so we can get ready on time. Lea said excitedly but the thought of his mate leaving him didn t Mia him that much happy at all. ' Thank you for companying us. Don t forget to bring your partner to the festival. It s very romantic for couples. She asked him when he was ready to do anything only to be with her. ' If you are inviting then I think I will have to come now, Henry replied giving her a soft smile and nodded smiling back, and both left leaving a scary man behind. ' Why everywhere you have to leave early. I will soon lock you up in my room forever. He said stealing at the path she took earlier to leave. Only he was aware of his plans for her. ' I think this will look good on you, Mia said seriously looking for dresses so she can be helpful to her friend. ' Everything looks good on me, Lea replied frankly making a joke and succeeding in making her friend laugh as well. ' Why are you choosing such grandma costumes. Choose something, beautiful girl. Lea said annoyed seeing her friend s choice. ' They seem quite comfortable, Mia replied trying to reason with her befriend but she couldn t succeed against her that easily. Both girls walked out when lea bumped into someone while checking on her phone. ' Watch where you go … Lea was speaking angrily but stopped seeing the handsome face of the boy in front and tried acting well behaved. ' Sorry. Didn t see you there. He replied making her feel even more embarrassed. ' I finally found you, girl. He said looking at Mia concentrating. ' You are… Mia replied not able to remember who he was and why he was speaking to her so frankly until. ' Oh my god! Italo looks at you. Mia spoke after finally remembering him. her childhood friend. ' What made you come back? I thought you left permanently. Mia spoke hugging him. ' If you can come back. Then why can t I come back. He replied making her realize he didn t change at all. Their happiness was not only seen by Lea but another person as well. Who was none other than the she-wolf hired by the evil king to keep her eyes in my an all the time? ' Sir she met with a boy happily. He doesn t seem dangerous should I still follow your orders? she asked her master after calling him knowing that boy doesn t have much time messing around like this. ' What are they doing? Henry asked getting angry after hearing about them. ' They are only talking with each other about meetup after time. Nothing seems romantic. She replied gulping her saliva knowing the boy called death over him. ' keep eyes on them. If he gets close to her. Kill him right away. Henry ordered knowing it will be a big surprise for his girl but he still decided to let his beast decide. ' as you order my king. She replied when he cut the call. All three of them went back to their places knowing they didn t have much time left to get ready and today was a big day for everyone in the town. ' Who are you? Lea asked looking at Mia inquiringly. ' Why are you asking this? Mia asked back confused. ' Because I never saw this beautiful lady before, Lea replied trying to flirt but both ended up laughing at each other s crazy acts. ' You also look beautiful today, Mia replied liking how her friend looked like. ' Just beautiful? lea asked making a sad face. ' My apologies my queen. You look like the most beautiful person today. ' Mia said knowing her friend s habit to joke around like. ' Now. of you two young ladies are ready then shall we go out and enjoy? Mr. Massimo asked looking at them lovingly. Henry was impatient to have his mate all next to him. he wanted to remove everyone from the town so he can be alone with his love without any interruptions but knowing her nature he knew very well it will never be a good idea to hurt others without a reason. He lost his sanity seeing her walk out. even in such a simple dress, she looked drop-dead gorgeous. His possessiveness increased inanely seeing her beautiful body exposed in her knee-length skirt. ' evening Mr. Henry. Mia greeted seeing him get out of his car. ' Evening beautiful lady. And please call me by my name, he replied trying to stop his urge to pounce on her and kiss her until she runs out of her breath. ' You also look good Mr. henry. I mean Henry. Mia said blushing as she knew he was always this handsome but never imagined he will stand out of crowd this much. ' Mia. Both heard someone call her name. ' Italo. She called back his name smiling. ' Look at you girl. You look a beautiful bumpkin. He said making her happy but irritated at last. ' And you don t look good at all. She replied, trying to show he made her upset which was not the case at all. ' I was just… Italo said when his phone rang. ' We need to show your face son. Come here before your father cut my hair and show me as you. His mother said loud enough for three of them to listen. ' I think you should give time to your family. And then we can enjoy later. Mia said trying to control her laugh on his troublesome life. ' What can a poor handsome fellow like me even do? he asked playfully before leaving. ' I am sorry I forgot to introduce him. he is my childhood friend, Mia said still smiling at him. ' It s okay. I am not a fan of meeting many people Afterall, Henry replied trying to hide his wrath. How much he wanted to break his neck with one hand and teach a small lesson to his love but he knew he must control himself for better. ' You came alone I see, Mia spoke seeing him alone even after she asked him to bring a partner. ' What can we do? I don t have a family nor friends like you. He replied as if someone dared to become one with his cruel presence. ' I am sorry. I didn t mean to hurt you. I will like to compensate if possible. Mia said feeling guilty. ' you do say sorry many times a day. About compensation. Why not show me around here? he said thinking he will have a chance to spend all of the time even without forcing her. ' Yeah sure, I would love to odor that. She said feeling happy after succeeding in making him happy. Her eyes focused on everything sparkling, colorful, and alive meanwhile he kept his eyes on her not moving them away for a single moment. Only if she knew who he was. She would have run far away. Trying to save herself from his clutches. Even with no chance of success yet it was the only way of refuge for her. Everyone closed their eyes seeing the lighted lanterns going up in the sky when she also did the same. He didn t waste a second to stare intensely at her while she mumbled something under her breath. ' What wish did you ask for? Mia asked looking at him who was already staring at her. ' ? doesn t make wishes, Henry replied knowing he will just snatch away things he likes. ' that s strange. You should make wishes to achieve things you want. She said thinking of him as innocent as her. ' But I get things I want on my own. He replied making her think for a moment and remembering his wealth she understood life wasn t easy for him to believe in all this. ' Your partner didn t arrive yet. She asked thinking about it again. ' I told you before. I have no one like you. He said with an urge to purpose to her but sudden purposely seemed risky for him. ' Not even a girlfriend. She spoke surprised hele he nodded negative making her even more surprised. ' I think my family will be looking for me. See you next time. She said seeing the miscalls on her phone. ' Let me walk you there. He said when they walked back and she looked at the neighbors bunnies and stopped giving them her snacks which they weren t talking about like they used to before. ' I don t know why these bunnies are so scared today? she spoke seeing them this scared confused. Not knowing their fear was standing right behind her. ' Maybe because of too many people outside. He said glaring at them and they started munching on food shivering. ' Aww. So cute. She said when he saw her cuter. ' Do you like them? he asked. ' I love them. But I can t keep a pet because my dad is allergic to fur. She replied showing her sadness over a small thing. ' I can get you all if you want one, Henry said starring at her as she was a treasure and she was for him. ' Thank you. But I am good seeing them even from far. She said showing her innocence. ' How can you get satisfied from seeing it from far? he asked referring to his love for her. Because she for him and bunnies for her were quite the same. Just his he was obsessed. ' Because this is how you love. You respect and give freedom before you take back to love. She replied proving him wrong in many languages. ' Mia. Her father called her when she waved her hand showing her she will be there. ' Take care. Bye. She said and walked away leaving a desperate lover behind who had many thoughts circling in his mind. And none of them were good at all. ' But my love is to keep you caged. Because you are mine only. He spoke obsessively when his eyes went to Italo who was also looking at his love. ' You must have missed your family all these years, Mia spoke looking at him eyes filled with pity. But she didn t know why they weren t alive anymore was probably because of him.
