Chapter 57: Chapter 57

A month later

Rue was disappointed when the wedding was only concluded on a paper with Kharsan and her signing, it felt more like an agreement than a proper wedding but before she could find out the reason why, Kharsan had already packed her bags and they were off to a small town in Luxemburg- Vianden.

Neither Davion nor anyone else knew of the matter and it was taken as they were off to their honeymoon but in reality, Rue felt as if they were running away.

"Baby I brought flower pots that you like, do you want to see them?"

"Coming!" The angel ran out of her small cottage in the garden that she was busy planting these days, she grew cherry tomatoes, a variety of eggplants, some carrots and there were also many flower bushes that she planted with Kharsan's help.

"Woah so pretty!"

"Do you want to plant them in soil now?" When the fairy nodded, a small cloth was laid down by her husband where she sat and observed Kharsan digging the soil for he had brought a variety of pear and apple saplings.

Earlier when they came to this unknown place where they bought a cottage, Kharsan had asked Rue to list down all the things that she wished to do and could not for she was locked in her own home for such a long time.

Rue had a lot of hobbies that she imagined doing one day- she would like to ride a pony and bake apple pie from her homegrown fruits. She would like to ride a boat under a full moon night and kiss in the soft light, she would also want to make her own perfume.

"They will soon grow up and after they start giving fruits I will bake a pie for you as you like." Rue smiled widely and unknowingly her face was so full of joy that Kharsan was unable to look away.

"Thankyou!" She moved forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek making him laugh a little. So naïve and so pure to get happy in such small things. They sat like that for an hour and so till the sun had started drowning below the horizon before going inside the house.

"Rue lets have pasta today" Rue clutched Kharsan's arm for she loved it when he made pasta boiled with thick mushroom crème. It was really simple but it just gave her so much comfort for she cleaned the mushrooms and gave them to Kharsan to chop, they worked side by side while talking about random things.

At first Rue was surprised when she arrived, there were no servants or maids here unlike her own home which was filled with only them who kept her company, Davion often did not had time to eat with her so she was accustomed to eating her food alone but here it wasn't like that.

Rue went on long walks with Kharsan in the morning where he often bought her as many flowers as she liked, then they came back home and washed up. After that Kharsan prepared her breakfast and read her a book of her choice. Rue didn't feel lonely now.

"Baby are you alright?" The male cupped her face when the fairy was lost in her own thoughts making her give a small smile.

"Why did we run away from home Kharsan?" The hand that was chopping the vegetables elegantly, froze.

"To survive in the mafia you cannot be gentle Rue, and to be with the person you love, one cannot be harsh. I cannot choose both Rue, I am so sorry.."

Rue loved her life here, the panic attacks had reduced, there were no nightmares and she was really happy. She did not know why were they here for Kharsan did not say much about his childhood and parents, but it was good like this too.

"Silly baby, stop thinking so hard come on eat now."

After that, the matter died down and soon Rue was engulfed in Kharsan's hold as she slept well not knowing that her home would soon have a visitor.

Kharsan clutched the female close to himself. She was with him again.

She was here after so many years.

An hour passed but he could not sleep knowing his uncle Orlando had been waiting for him outside since morning. It won't be long till the others will be able to trace him here too.

"Sleep well baby, I will be back." A light kiss was pressed on Rue's forehead when Kharsan got up only for the azure irises to open some moments later to look at him going away.

"We must take her to some good doctors Kharsan, if it stays like this how much longer will you be able to hold off."

"There is nothing wrong with my wife, she does not need more medication."

"I know it sounds harsh but if she has no memories why does that matter, just take her home like she is, since childhood she was meant to be your bride, so what is the difference now? She is just the same child with naïve thoughts, whats the difference?"

Rue who was eavesdropping to the conversation had her mouth agape when such words were said, she had known Kharsan since childhood?

"There is no difference at all? Do you all think of her as a feeble, stupid woman and nothing else? It was Rue who jumped into a situation to save Seir, it was she who endured but did not lose her spirit and let your young heir be free at the expense of her life.

My Rue was never weak, it was everyone else who benefitted from her and she was the only person who suffered.

Rue at this moment is fragile, how will she take care of a mafia clan filled with so many eyes that are eyeing her like a wolf, if she has her memories she would never fall prey to their words but also control them.

She was a Villar for god's sake!"

"What if she doesn't get well, what if she stays like this Kharsan, how many years will you give her? You can leave her with her brother like you did-"

"She was in a fucking trauma then, reminding her might have made her go crazy!...it wasn't my choice uncle." Rue felt tears dripping down her eyes when she heard the words.

"And what says that she is healed of it now? It has already been three years Kharsan, for a woman you cannot leave your people...they have pledged their loyalty to you." Orlando did not look happy to suggest such things but the entire matter was completely out of hand now.

They must return soon

It was inevitable that the mafia throne would not stay empty for a long time.

"Then give the throne to Seir...Rue always said that she is a Villar and protecting a Villar is my duty. To make her happy is my duty as her husband."

"Husband? Goddammit, have you married her already?!" When the male looked without saying anything Orlando knew that this lunatic had broken all barriers of sanity.

"Crazy bastard! What about your marriage talks with the daughter of the Pierce clan? Why did you not wait to marry Rue after you get home!"

"Didn't I say choose whoever you like, what I meant uncle was that those old fuckers can choose whosoever they wish to marry themselves for I always belonged to Rue.

The only woman who will stay by my side is her and wait for what, for them to toy around with the feelings of my woman? I would rather just kill them and get over with it."
