Mafia Vengeance by KATHLEEN HAYAT (most recommended books .TXT) 📗

Chloe hazily adjusted her sight to the surrounding and the first thing she saw was her husband laying beside her on the bed.

A small smile creep its way on her lips. Slowly and cautiously she scooted towards him. He was only in his boxers. His abdomen and thigh was bandaged and his body has bruises almost everywhere his face has small cuts and bruises as well.

She slowly caressed his face and his eyes shot opened in an instant. Hazel orbs meeting black both staring at each other. Chloe was first to look away. As, she was about to withdraw her hand. Andrew held her wrist and kept her palm on his face.

Chloe didn't try to move her hand away, instead she was gathering up her courage to speak to him. With a heavy sigh she spoke meekly.

"I-If I want something. C-can you give it to me?"

Andrew grinned joyously, for she was speaking, he could finally hear her voice and also she was asking something.

"Of course my love. Ask away."

Chloe gulped cautiously and spoke.

"I want to do m-my fathers funerary ceremony."

But before listening to Andrew and without even looking at him she spoke again.

"I know all the things my father did was evil and I know I'm here because of his deeds I know all the tortures you inflicted on me was because of my father I know I must suffer because I'm his daughter and I truly understand that-"

"Shhhhh! Don't say a single word! Listen to me and listen well."

He shushed Chloe was putting his fingers on her lips making her stop speaking. He continued speaking.

"Yes the things your father did was evil but the things I did wasn't saint like either. So don't ever think that you must suffer because of your fathers deeds."

Andrew was stunned when she was saying all the things.

She knew!

She knew it was her father who ruined his life.

"I am the biggest bastard ever. I shouldn't have used you in the first place but I'm a demon and when I find my enemies weakness I take full advantage of it and that is what I did to you. I regret everything. If, I could only rewind the time. I'm sorry love!"

Andrew saw her silently crying and it broke his heart seeing her like that. He scooted closer towards her and wiped her tears.

"Hey! I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry baby. Please don't cry and about you fathers funeral ceremony don't worry everything will be done tomorrow."

Chloe sniffed but stopped crying. They both held onto each other after so many months and it felt like peace making them both to drown in slumber.

Two months has passed after her fathers funeral ceremony and everything was getting better for everyone at the mansion.

Everyone is so happy especially because of the kids. Chloe and Andrew named them Lucas and chase, and they are now the heartbeat of everyone.

Everything is getting good but there is still distance between Chloe and Andrew. They share the same room the same bed but still nothing's happened.

Chloe was frustrated with Andrew keeping distance, during these two months he never tried to touch her or tried to even kiss her he didn't even say I love you anymore he would come late at night when she would already sleep, she can't understand what's wrong with him but neither she had the courage to approach him first.

Unconsciously she cut her finger in anger as she was cutting vegetables in the kitchen with Jess and Eli.

Jess approached Chloe and applied bandage on her cut.

Jess asked. "Is there something wrong honey? You seemed bothered from few days."

Chloe but her lips in contemplation and that was enough for Jess and Eli to figure out her anxiousness they both took Chloe to her room and asked her the matter.

Chloe looked at the sleeping form of her kids and sighed she didn't know how to say what she's exactly feeling.

Eli motivated her to speak. "Come on Chloe tell us. We'll help."

"Andrew is avoiding me and I don't know how to approach him!" 

"Approach him in what?"

Eli asked mischievously while wiggling her eyebrows. Chloe felt embarrassed.

"That's why I wasn't telling you anything."

Jess elaborated. "More precisely he doesn't touch you?"

Chloe felt her cheeks turning into beetroot shade.Oh! GOD these women are so clever.

"Oh why is that so? I don't believe this!" Eli stated.

"I don't know why? He's behaving strange he just does't touch me."

Eli mused. "So basically you want him to touch you!"

"Yeah!! Oh! I mean no! What I mean is-"

She was embarrassed with all this talking.

Jess mused. "Seduce him!"

"WHAT!!!"

Chloe was flabbergasted after hearing this seduction and her such a weird combination. She didn't even know the "S" of seduction.

Jess giving her such an idea was the weirdest thing ever.

Eli spoke. "Yeah seduce him!"

"I don't know a thing about it.OH GOD you both are insane."

Eli spoke up. "No we are not and you must do this tonight yeah tonight. Okay, so I'm booking your appointment in a salon be ready in thirty minutes we'll both have ourselves groomed for our mans. Go go go."

With that Jess and Eli left the room leaving Chloe dumbfounded.

Chloe and Eli are currently in Victoria's Secret looking for something hot and sexy.

Chloe said. "Eli this is too much First salon and now this."

Eli replied. "Oh please shut up! They just did your manicure and pedicure along with complete wax and some facials and massages and-"

"Yeah that was fine but this is too much. I won't be comfortable."

Eli turned around and spoke in the most frustrated tone.

"Do I look like I care?"

Pfff this girl won't listen.

Eli bought all the stuff and they both went home.
