Chapter 66 (1)

Apparently, the car ride held a smooth atmosphere when both of the men were seated pleasantly whereas one of them still seemed a bit bothered.

“You are nice, Louis. The only officer remained that is clean from any kind of bribe or anything related to it.” Marquis started the conversation while breaking the silence when he eyed the road in front of him.

“Yes.” Louis rudely responded as he wasn't being in the mood when the gun was still being near Marquis's pretty fearless face at few inches. “Why are you acting all sweet? Criminal.” Louis scoffed towards the attitude that Marquis was showing when he doubted his sweet behavior and instead of answering his question, Marquis simply chuckled while shaking his head.

“I've changed enough while being with her.” Marquis smiled when he thought of the only medicine that cured the wounds which he had for years but he doesn't really knew about it.

“Is this your trick or something? Where is she? Honestly tell me.” Louis suspiciously asked when he eyed the criminal's side profile while gripping tightly onto the gun which now made contact with his skin and Marquis heaved a sigh when he slowed the vehicle that he was driving.

“Louis, doubt me or whatever you want to do. But I'm telling you. HONESTLY. She wasn't being with me when I left.” Marquis talked politely when he made himself clear by enhancing every word. “I left her at her own house.”

“What?”

“Yes, Louis.”

“But, as much as I've heard about you? You never wanted someone to imprint you or your personality?” Louis too talked nicely but just for a minute when he still had the gun near the face.

“Me too. I was also surprised when I found out that, I actually started falling for her.” Marquis sighed.

“Falling for her?!” Louis almost shouted.

“Yes, bro. I was a mad lover to her but right after leaving the room? I started to act all different. It was lik—”

“Leaving the room?! Were you having her all captured?” Louis cut him off immediately when he yelled further more. “So you tortured her!!”

“What? No!” Marquis shook his head with curious eyes. “I mean yes. No! Argh!!” He was suddenly baffled towards the questions that Louis was bombarding at him when he nodded but then shook his head while being completely perplexed. “I never did that. Not to her. She drove me crazy every time, whenever I was being with her. Her aura was sweet. Her scent was mesmerizing. Her eyes were diamonds that I've never seen before and her tinted lips has always been my all-time favourite.” Marquis giggled in between his conversation while reminding everything about her. “In fact, her everything was so delightful that I couldn't think of leaving her.” Like an innocent lover that Marquis was talking so peacefully while describing her yet at the same time, dealing with her thought inside his mind. “She was a magnet so strong that I can't take myself away from her.”

“I don't believe you. With you? No one can be safe.” Louis lowered his gun but still, he wasn't acting as a friend while Marquis was expecting him to be one at the moment.

“True.” Marquis said in his sad vocals. “I was mad at her when I saw her kissing Seth.”

“SETH???” Louis's eyes popped out all of a sudden.

“Yes. I even did physical tortures to her afterwards and I admit that.” Marquis now started explaining the real thing.

“Wha—From where that my friend came between you and your messed up fucking life???” Louis shouted at him.

“Wow. Interesting. You swore, officer.” Marquis chuckled at Louis's response while catching those supporting words that he said. “I didn't know that pure honest officers can also do that.”

“Shut up! You—”

Marquis tried to break the ice that the car's interior was holding while laughing a little when later Marquis talked very politely as it really looked like as if he was never being a bad guy to her but instead, he was being the man who actually protected her. “But before that, she was being all safe with me. Instead of doing any harm to her? I actually protected her. With all of my heart! Her warmth was my comfort, her lips were my hunger, her body was my desire, her scent lured my mind yet her presence was my peace and most of all? I cherished her with all my strength. With all my heart. With all my love.”

Marquis's words suddenly perplexed the police officer beside him who was now in a really deep thought while staring the road in front, when Louis was suddenly confused towards the behavior that Marquis was showing.

“Was it really you back in those years who once said and is still famous for the fact that, I will never love any girl because they are just a mere playing toy to me? Those were your honest words to be declared by you. Weren't they? Right?” Louis literally just opened up the exact thing for which Marquis was mainly famous for as Louis further added while knitting his dark brows. “I've read your whole record. All of it.”

“Yes. Exactly.” Marquis's smile never left his pretty face. “But in those time? I had a thirst for lust and later after having her? I tasted love.”

The path was long enough and the distance was wide as the destiny was far which was being the only reason that was making Louis to listen him at the moment. What was exactly stopping him from shooting this known bad guy? Was that he was acting so rare and so different from the reputation that was mentioned in his collected records. The mere most-wanted criminal wasn't even acting like one and also, the words that he was saying right now? Louis never really expected such kind of behavior from him as that was why that he decided to listen him and wished that Marquis acts like his words.

“She had this charm. This beauty, that never forgets to attract me. I was once really mad at her that I actually tortured her physically and left without doing or listening anything to her. I let my frustration out while having a hard sex with another woman but the next morning? I regretted everything.” Marquis told the truth when he was struggling dead hard to make Louis believe him.

“Regretted? Why though? Weren't bad guys are just heartless?” Louis asked in the coldest manner possible when he added further ahead. “Regressions are for those who have feelings and are afraid to hurt them.”

“I regretted everything the next morning. I didn't know. To be honest, I really had no idea when that I started having feelings for her. Every time, I was being worried for her. Scared that she might leave me if I left the room's door remained open. But her? Never that she even tried to leave the place.” Marquis explained with his head low but later that his dull orbs captured Louis. “I used to threaten her every time and she was being so afraid of me.”

“Really?” Louis asked with a low voice.

“Yes.” Marquis nodded while agreeing over his words and talked ahead. “There were so many things that we both did together. In love or what? We both really didn't know. She had her first times with me and I had mine with her.”

Louis almost choked at his words when he knew very well that having sex every night and day, with every girl or woman, never let you remain a virgin as he was surprised to listen this statement that this sexy daddy-criminal who had many nights under the sheets with a new lady every time while having sex, was telling about his own first?

“What the hell? You serious? Your first?? Like your one millionth first.” Louis tried harder not to laugh but this case was sensitive as he continued to laugh a little. “Oh god! Please!”

“Hey! What?! I really had my firsts with her!” Marquis almost raised his voice in frustration at him but he wasn't being angry at all. “Yeah. Yeah. My one millionth, which lacked true pleasure. But while being with her? I allowed myself to go under the pants. Well, she's still a virgin but I'm not.” His last words made Louis stop laughing when it made him face the guy who was driving.

“What do you mean that she's still a virgin?” Louis's attitude changed like a weather when suddenly that he asked strictly.

“I never fucked her. She was being all pure up till the end. Instead, I told her to play with me and please me. I tried so hard to change her into a person that she has never been but I found myself truly hopeless while doing that thing as she was being really yet truly innocent like her mother told.” Marquis's purity screamed from his words.

“You were the one who killed her mother? Right?” Louis questioned when he tried connecting the things which were all dispersed.

“Yes. I was the one. I wanted her to suffer. I was angry that she never loved me back, though I was doing everything to gain her heart but I forgot that I already had the hell broken upon her. I was so lost in my temper that I really didn't know what I was doi—” Marquis suddenly paused himself when he remembered something important. “I forgot. She isn't a virgin.”

“Wha—What???” Louis shook his head. “Make everything clear. Quick!”

“I really didn't make her lose her sanity instead.....my men did.” Marquis's eyes were suddenly filled with a view of fear when he spoke ahead. “I was being terribly angry at her and her kiss with Seth, that I dragged her harshly and threw her in front of my men. I went in the same room after doing that and screamed, shouted and started throwing things while suffering with the feeling of rejection in my heart. I was too close to face a mental breakdown but I got controlled afterwards, when my mind started curving between the words that she told me. The meaning of the mere word love, as waking up after being fainted for I really don't know how many days? I rushed to save her immediately and that was the first thing that I did right after waking up. I started to feel her pain, moment by moment after that. She made me. My main priority was to get her out from there as I managed to save her and used the hidden runways that I myself designed before building my mansion. We got out safely and she too investigated this sudden change in me.” Marquis explained almost everything and made himself crystal clear when now Louis was being too close to believe his every word but still something was stopping him from doing the thing. “You don't know what she actually meant from the daddy thing when I told her that your daddy's here as a whole meal.” Marquis's little chuckle rung Louis's ear when he was being attentive towards him already.
