Chapter 181: Chapter 181

Sally bit her lips with her face all flushing, she had promised to tell him, how she felt about him and his proposal, the moment he open his eyes, so no need to wait, she needs to say it directly to his face. "I like you and I want to be your wife, you see this. She raised her hand up, she is already wearing the ring.

He was caught off guard, his mouth went agape. Huh?

All I am saying is that, I love you so much that I am willing to be your wife, share all your pains and help you let go of the revenge in your heart. Although she is repeating the same words and adding little to it, she is too shy to look Gordon in his eyes

After the young man comes out of his shock as a result of Sally confession, he takes her hand "did I really hear you right?" You are not going to take it back.

She nodded shyly without saying a word, Gordon try to move but flinched. Ouch! He cry as the pain struck him.

Sally hurry to him. What? Are you alright? Tell me, where it hurt? She is checking him. Something is hurting you right?

Yes! His voice came up, causing Sally to look at his face only to see their face closed to each other, she turn deep red when she noticed Gordon is staring at her lips, the young man is going to kissed her again.

But this time, Gordon pulled her forehead and kiss her there, she could feel the race of her heart when his lips meet her there, she is happy that he survive, she might not be able to live without this man in front her. Thank you for telling me what you truly love me.

She smiled at him, he really wants to kissed Sally on her lips but he felt that he might want more, everytime, he kissed her, he always crave for more.

I was really scared when I heard you were shot, seeing you lying on the bed each passing day, I felt like dying, I realized that I can't live without you.

Whoa! So you need a gun shot to be honest about your feelings towards me, then I should pray that I get shot all the time.

You should stop, that isn't funny. Sally pout, he smiled.

Sorry! I will be more careful now, knowing I have a wife to care about.

Are we getting married? What about your revenge on Dante? Gordon look at her, it's obvious that, they all know the reason he came back to the city to hurt Dante because of his mother but then it's not her fault, the fault is all from his father that couldn't stop loving someone that is not in love with him.

Of cause, we are getting married, as soon as I get out of here, we are and not to worry, I have already let go of the pain in my heart and the anger for him, if not, I would never had let my sister get married to him.

Sally smiled, he pulled her into a kiss, this time, it was her lips.

You should know that you are officially mine now and no going back.

Of cause, no going back and I am sure everyone will be happy to hear the good news.

****

Noah had been beside Claudia for so long, the young lady really want to cry, she wants to let out her pains, with Noah there, she can't do that.

Can you please go away, I want to be left alone.

I can't, sir Dante and ma Barbara said I shouldn't leave your side, they are afraid you will hurt yourself. Noah is blurt, she look at him, the man is handsome but he had bad used of language, he is too straightforward for her liken.

Are you calling me suicidal?

Nope but nothing is impossible, they said that your safety is important, so just do what you want, I will stay right there like I don't exist

I said get out.

Fuck! He cursed Claudia look at him.

Are you cursing on me? He turned and realized that, him cursing because he had lost the game he was playing on his phone is alarming to Claudia.

He raised his head only to see the gloomy face of Claudia. Ma, you were saying.

Nevermind, just go do whatever you want, no one will even bother.

I can't, please just act like I am invisible, I promise I am not going to make you feel my present.

Noah is not a man of too much words, he move to the other side of the room, plugging his headphones on his ear, while Claudia remain on her bed, after sometime she burst in tears, it was really loud, she wants to cry all this time, yet she wants to be alone when she does it, but this stubborn man wouldn't give her the chance to.

Noah know the story and Dante had told him not to make the mistake of leaving her not that he felt she is going to run away from the cops, Barbara father and grandfather will not be able to take it if anything happens to Claudia, she is still part of their family.

Noah is surprise to hear a grown woman cry so loud, he could feel the pain she is going through, he wanted to offer his shoulder for her to cry on but it will be awkward since they don't know each other and he had promised that he is going to act like he is invisible. Though, he is on headphones, he is not playing anything, he need to be alarm, should she make one wrong move.

Mom! You shouldn't have leave me! Why will do that to me? She keeps sobbing for long but after sometime, she kept quiet, he is eager to look at her, but she will understand that he is not playing anything, so he had to keep his cool

Hey!

She call out to him, he takes the headphones off, even with her whispered, Claudia stared at him, she wasn't expecting him to hear.

Where you even listening to anything? He wink at her then stand. Annoying, why is he winking at me?

Do you want anything?

No, just go home, you can't possibly sleep on the couch.

Not to worry, I am perfectly fine, like I said they are worried about you and I will not want you to do something stupid.

Meaning?

Yes, they are scared for your safety like I said earlier.

Claudia didn't say a word, to him, she is not ready to battle words with him.

Noah could admit Dante sister-in-law is very beautiful, too bad, she had a twisted mind, she is way too complicated to be attracted to.

He wonder what will happen to her now? Although her mother is dead but she is still part of the crime, she is an accomplice, which means she is going to go through trials if barbara or his boss is to file Charges against her.

He sighed then yawned, he need to sleep is not his business to worry about her and her complicated life.
