Chapter 71: Truth

Armani POV

I stayed in her embrace for a while before I pulled away from her.

I looked down only to see her beautiful eyes sparkle with worry.

I cupped her face and kissed her slowly. After forcing myself to pull away, she frowns at me.

“Why did you pull away?”, she asked with a pout lips. I laughed at her childishness.

“I am sorry if I made you worry baby girl”, I said, kissing her lips once again before I got up.

Just as I was about to stand up and walk away from her, she held my wrist, looking at me anxiously.

“Armani, look I don’t want you keeping anything from me, and if something is bothering you, then tell me”, she said as she stepped closer to me. Her voice was filled with genuine feelings.

I pulled her towards myself, gripping her hips tighter. Kissing her lips once again.

“I am okay baby, I just needed to hold you”, I said as I let go of her.

“Are you sure there is nothing else bothering you”, she asked, still holding my shirt tight.

I smiled at her sparkling brown eyes and nodded.

“I just want to marry you and get you all to myself”, I said with a smirk.

Trying to ease her tension.

And she responded well, getting shy at my comment.

Wrapping her arms around my neck, she placed a long passionate kiss on my lips, sucking and biting my lower lips, soft moans escaping from her mouth. I held her waist and pulled her closer to myself, making sure I could get as much of her as possible.

“Can we move the wedding date closer”, I mutter in her mouth. She smiled against my lips and nodded before kissing me more fiercely.

Taking any control I had within me, I pulled away from, it as my cock started to get painful. Wanting to burst out inside her.

“I will let you get back to work and I will go and organize our big day”, I said as I placed another kiss on her lips and left her.

It is always amazing to see her, she calms all my nerves and anxiety, my madness, and my anger. She is made for me.

Smiling to myself I head out and go to my office to get a few works done.

After I got in my car, I thought about our honeymoon destination and all the places I wanted to take her. There was so much I wanted to do with her, so I planned everything in my head, making mental notes of everything, I reached my office, got out of my car, and ran straight into my office, not wanting to waste any second, I wanted to start preparing all the flights and accommodation for our honeymoon. Just as I reached the door of my office, I could see my mother and father sitting in it.

Signing my head, I head inside.

“What a pleasant surprise”, I said sarcastically.

Both my mother and father were quiet, my father ignoring me and his head down, unable to talk or look into my eyes.

“What is wrong”, I asked both as I popped my jacket on top of my chair and took a seat in front of them,

“Well, there are a few wrong things, but you will find out soon”, my mother said with a disgusted tone.

Just as I was about to ask her again, I saw two of my father's bodyguards dragging Xhani inside my office. Holding her in my arms as she was dragged and thrown into the office. I quickly ran and picked her up.

“What is the meaning of this father?”, I asked my father, looking at him angrily. But he didn’t respond. I turned my head towards my beautiful fiancé, and she had teary eyes and hand marks across her arms from the way she was dragged.

“I am sorry baby girl, I do not know what is going on”, I said making sure she knew I had no hand in this.

“Well, well, if it isn’t the slut”, my mother spat at Xhani as she stood up. Her face was covered in disgust and her tone was filled with venom.

“Mother, watch how you address my fiancé”, I yelled at my mother.

Making her shiver with fear. But she quickly regained her posture.

“She deserves nothing but hatred”, my mother said.

Xhani looked at me and asked, “What is happening?’, her eyes were teary, but I cupped her face, placing a soft kiss on her head. “I am not sure baby girl”, I said.

I turned my head towards my mother who was looking at Xhani like she was some low-life girl from the streets.

“Mother, can you be straightforward forward”, I said, losing my patient.

My mother laughed loudly at my words, and nodded, “Sure, let me be very clear then, Xhani will not be the daughter-in-law of the star family”.

The moment those words got out of her mouth, something inside me triggered, making me scream at my mother at the top of my lungs, “How dare you”, screamed at my mother, making her flinch with fear. Xhani moved behind me and held a tight grip on my shirt, but I think I was beyond reason at this point.

“Stop it”, my father finally said as he stood up from his chair, looking at me disappointed.

“What is the meaning of all of this father?”. I said, looking straight into my father’s eyes.

For the first time in forever, I had the courage to challenge my father and look directly into his eyes. And I am sure he is beyond disappointed with me. But I couldn’t help but get angry at how they have been treating Xhani ever since I introduced them to her.

I could feel Xhani’s fear from behind me, her grip tightening on my shirt, I could feel her body shook in fear as she watched me boil in rage.
