Chapter 74

“And we all are something, but hidden.”

Marquis furiously turned towards the voice which he was wishing to hear sooner or later.

“Here's the proof.” Louis's hand were holding a file when he raised it up higher in the air and the people around them started gasping all of a sudden. They all knew about the money that just this single criminal contained, as his rate of power and wealth was stronger among the others.

There, Marquis saw her too while being spaced out when he was willing to run at her and hug her at the moment as he was already dying to have her from all of this time whereas, she seemed too fazed towards every word that he delivered which sounded so pure, so honest yet so affectionate as while being on a distance, the eye contact between Yenail and Marquis was much more stronger and solid than any of the other most strongest thing in the world, when Yenail could not believe him. He truly yet really presented himself in front of the world like that and knowing the thing that he doesn't had anything remained by himself, amazed her even more. He literally devoted his everything to her as each and every single thing that belonged to his property, now held her name. She stared him and he stared her back when they both were having the strong yet intent eye contact without even a blink disturbing them as that was how their hearts were still attached.

“Yenail.” Marquis mumbled while staring her right there and it felt like as if the words were twisting his tongue from a long time when they waited to come out soon while his eyes were craving her presence when he never felt himself alone. He was never alone as she has always been there with him.

“Ma-Marquis.” She stuttered while feeling herself almost at the verge of crying when she saw his messy yet disturbing state, how he was being hand cuffed but no bruise or scratch could be seen at his face nor over his body which hinted her that he remained unharmed. Now after witnessing his every word right there, it was evident that she was being more important to him than any other thing in this whole world. Only she knew how she spent the night earlier, which held nothing else but fear holding it as now that it calmed her down somehow after knowing how he was equally worried for her as it was clearly showing on his face. Her heart broke down to see how he was begging with just his eyes to comfort him right there.

“Yenail.” The judge's loud voice filled the area and everyone's attention suddenly shifted to him when he checked the property papers that were handed to him afterwards by a man who stood aside the judge.

Marquis was already making up his mind if they dragged her in this case and made her suffer? He swore that he would kill every single person by just choking them right there when he was concerned about one thing that fate was still trying to push him off the cliff without even knowing the fact that her mother's strong prayers were supporting him too.

“Would you like to speak and disclose your words for him? Yenail is your name. Right?” The judge asked the girl who stood beside Louis.

Marquis desperately prayed for her to not get herself into trouble when his hands already turned into fists as he twisted them between the handcuffs so fiercely. He knew about her already that she was afraid to talk with new people, when they got to know each other so well while being close up till the end. He stared her figure which took few steps forward and stood on a distance from him, when he saw by now that she was being much more hesitant to talk when her breaths went higher than usual. She nodded after she lifted her head towards the judge in front when Yenail could not face the eyes of Marquis as they held disturbance for her when she was facing double tension rates and he knew that she was being scared at the moment.

“Don't be afraid. I'm right here. I won't let them do anything to you.” She heard Marquis talking while she was now standing beside him when the words came out in low whispers as without even making a turn towards her direction that he let out those words.

She was still amazed to see him even at this moment when he was being all captured with no way to release himself and instead of thinking about his own self? He still thought about her. He still thought about her safety first when those words that he conveyed, made her remember every incident and physical events that he apprehended while protecting her every time, whenever another person tried to even touch her. She remembered how he was being overly protective to her from all of this time when she already felt so secure just by hearing those words. Even at this moment, he doesn't let her think that he wasn't being worried for her. He made her believe that he would be there for her no matter what happens.

“He was a known criminal. Known for every aspect to harm the others by every chance. He was merciless. What made you think that he won't harm you?” The judge started after he stared her and expected words that will clearly describe her explanation. The judge was already aware of everything as his records also included her mother's murder case. ”He also killed your mother.”

A sting that her heart felt once again when she closed her eyes and gulped hard while Marquis was having his sight fixated upon her as he saw how she was controlling herself so hardly. He saw how she was suffering a bit once again and this was the heavy moment when Marquis himself was feeling so empty as he expected yet waited for the thoughts that she had about him. The result of the exams for which that he suffered.

“Your honor, though he killed my mother, was being harsh to me sometimes, raped me and I won't deny the fact that I never had anyone in my life earlier, as I obeyed his every command and fulfilled his every wish. Just for the sake of my mother's life while she was being alive.” Her words were harsh and ciphered pain but she composed herself very elegantly. “Your honor, I was happy to the fact that he never hurt her until the time I was being there with him. Other than sex and pleasures, I highly apologize for using such language but, he really does started taking care of me. He really did protect me. I was unknown to any of his actions at that time which contained so much affection in them when he protected me like a little child. Other than few technical disturbance? There wasn't any kind of harmful act that he did to me.” So truly that she declared everything while being hesitant but honestly she said all that. “Except this that, he does tortured me because of few certain reasons and regretted afterwards but never that he tried to kill me. Your honor, he just needed someone to get him out of the black-hole that he himself had captured from so long. He was mistaken. If he's asking for forgiveness? Can't you just accept it?” Her words were wrapped by complete innocence when Marquis melted after knowing how hard that she was struggling to support him though she herself doesn't knew how to play these things but that didn't make the judge to get him away like that.

“Things don't go the way you always want them. He needs to be punished. He has done crimes that are unforgiveable.” The words of the judge shook the insides of her when she started panicking. “I have come up with a decision that he would be sent to the most protective yet highly adaptive and powerful security jail in Manchester. Where no contact would be done to him or by him, as he would be staying under the high eye of strong observation.”

While the words were executing from the judge's mouth, at that time, they both were panicking while breathing heavily when the hearts of Yenail and Marquis were rambling so out of their ribcages after they heard the thing that they will be going so far from each other so soon without even listening to each other's voices, when Louis too was facing mental panic attacks after he saw everything falling apart once again.

Time took a very wide turn at this moment where both of them doesn't even had any idea if they'll ever face each other again. They both could not live without each other as now that they needed each other to hold, when while panting hard, Marquis gained the courage to question the time period after lifting his face.

“For how long?” He worriedly yet curiously asked when his voice wasn't even sounding calm but concern, and that was the moment when Yenail also prayed internally for not much time.

“For one year.” The judge declared his decision and stood up. “You have just this day. Tomorrow, you'll be transferred to the jail of Manchester. Case closed.” He announced loudly to be heard by every person and left his place.

“No.” With wide eyes, Marquis’s feet stumbled as he was about to fall after hearing the time that he heard. For one whole year he would be away from her. He could not even bear a moment without her and one year was such a vast time when he grunted with tears soon gathering in his eyes as later that he shut his eyes so tightly along with his head low and supported himself by the wooden frame behind him. From all of this time up till now, only he knew how he hugged that pain in his heart all alone while staying away from her.

The people started walking here and there so soon when they hated the judge along with the criminal who let him go and didn't announce the death. But few noted the purity that Marquis's wise words were holding, which converted very low amount of people to his side whereas the rest stayed doubting. The words that Marquis said were wise enough when he made himself along with every other person, go stunned as he never talked like that before when he was known well for the worst language and swearing casually touching his conversation whenever he talked even in an ordinary manner.

The vary moment, Yenail gulped with wide eyes as Louis saw both of them, with their states getting vulnerable moment by moment when they both were facing terrible conspiracies. No matter how hard you try to get yourself together with your partner, the world will still burry its stings among it, when they both were being the opposite energies that attracted so strongly and keeping them apart will only result weakness. From both the sides.

Louis ran towards them as after the decision, two policemen kept themselves stood near Marquis who was facing terrible breathings.

“Marquis!” Yenail immediately ran towards him without even caring about the two other men who surrounded him when she instantly held him by wrapping her arms around his shoulders and he broke the metal handcuffs after harshly pulling his hands away as later that he simply embraced his love so tightly.

“Yenail.” He dug his face in the nape of her neck so immediately and snuggled furthermore while inhaling her scent that his nostrils were lacking from a long period. “You're okay. I'm glad you're alright.” While hugging her tight that he sobbed in her neck when she stroked his hair as his voice was being so soft and healing at the moment. The act to be done by both of them whenever he's stressed and seeks comfort in her neck, and she delightfully runs her fingers in his soft, bouncy yet messed up hair while calming him down. He felt so calm in her embrace when he regained his comfort after days as to him, it literally seemed like years already. Their scents along with their auras mixed together like heavens crossing their ways as he could not even think of being apart for more days. “I was being worried sick about you, princess.” He pulled apart and held her face when later that they both intently locked their eyes while tears were edging both pairs of orbs. She knew those tears were the real ones when she was already aware of a fact about him that he was being so weak at his emotions.

Holding hands in hands, they lifted each other, he later snaked his arms around her small waist when they rested onto each other's foreheads while healing each other with smiles and giggles. He truly missed her from all of this time as he wasn't even bothered by those hurtful stings around his wrists that the metal handcuffs were causing him, when Louis was also smiling while watching them being together again after so long but at the same time his heart was falling apart, when he thought about her only love leaving her for wide range of days.

Suddenly while taking Marquis off-guard, she tiptoed herself and took his lips in hers when she kissed him right on the moment while grabbing his collar and he froze with wide eyes. She was extremely nervous while doing this thing at first but later she got to remember about how he used to calm her down everytime, whenever she faced tension. He faced sudden intimidating knots inside his stomach. The same knots that he faced right now, when he spent his first night with her as those blossoms bloomed once again inside his every tensed muscle which held stress in them, when he saw that she had her eyes closed while kissing him as she got hold onto his collar when he missed that grasp. After melting into the kiss that snatched every worry from his body, he held her trembling figure as the kiss from his side deepened when he faced the same arousing heat once again. He knew how she has always faced the tension while kissing him back when this act of her kissing him first surely amazed him and he truly lived the moment. With their eyes closed, the heat struck their bodies when they doesn't even cared about the surroundings while attaining their heavens under each other's touch as for a short instinct, their lips motioned perfectly into each other's shapes along with a wave of heat erecting from them. They suck up the love hard which that their lips were lacking from all of this time when they both missed the taste. While panting hard that they both pulled apart after a long passionate kiss which held half ingredients of desperately awaited lust and half of true enchantment, later that they both giggled into each other's faces while nibbling their noses together when he had his arms surrounding her so protectively while she was having hers around his neck and for the first time, they felt so proud of each other.

“How did my baby girl know that I was missing it?” His hot breaths hit her face when he spoke in a hoarse tone as the butterflies in his belly exploded and roamed all over his body while calming down his every muscle as it healed his every organ and he controlled himself so hard. 

“I felt the taste fading away from mine.” She chuckled sweetly and pecked his cherry lips once again when her tickling belly was slightly bothering her too as her every organ shook from the inside when her knees were also trembling already.

“My baby girl is strong and encouraged enough to kiss me first? I'm so proud of you.” He questioned the will power of kissing him first when he sighed happily and was surely stunned towards the act that she pulled up in front of these many people when a warm embrace was soon welcomed by him.

“Let's just say, the world should know that you only love me, Marquis.” She rubbed her cheek onto his chest and hugged him back too when her voice held that same innocence that he missed everytime.

“I love you so much, my princess.” The embrace from Marquis tightened when he was holding tears in his eyes.

The people around them were also amazed to see such act as he was known better for capturing the girls first but this mere act where the girl kissed him first, truly left all of them shocked as it followed no such fakeness in it. Louis was also really happy for both of them but the reality wasn't letting him smile properly, when soon after, a man handed the property papers back to Louis and he got hold onto them tightly when his sight once again captured the couple.

While still holding hands in hands that they turned towards the man who reached them after few minutes.

“Thank you for everything, Louis.” Marquis's sad grin held his face when he was holding her closer to himself but a weak yet worried sigh from his side afterwards, was enough to tense her, whereas she also held his hand tightly while giving it a squeeze as later that she wrapped both of her arms around his one muscular one. “Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll be back soon.” Marquis turned to face her and cupped her cheeks when his eyes were screaming the affection that she loved all the time. “I promise.”

After listening his last words, her heart clenched from the inside when she whispered near his face, later reminding him few things which made her feel heartbroken. “You promised not to kill my mother too. You promised not to hurt me. You also told me that promises are meant to be broken. What was that all? Don't promise me.”

“Yenail, don't say that.” He lowered his head after his broken cracked up voice rung her ears when he sadly pouted with his curly black hair covering his dull eyes while he was still standing still and firm over his spot, holding his weak state. “I am really sorry for everything.”

She smiled over his childish side as he was being so much comfortable with her lately in these days. “I don't want you to promise me. I want you to make me believe that we will see each other again. Soon.” Her small hands lifted his face and he pecked her cheeks right away when he quickly earned a shy yet cute giggle from her side as she squealed under his action.

“You two are perfect for each other. One word. Beautiful.” Louis simply smiled while looking towards the couple who was still living their moments, even though they knew that they will going to be apart soon as a sad grin curved Louis's lips when he added further ahead. “Seth would be so happy.”

“Louis, please take good care of her. I trust you and only you.” Marquis's worried vocals rung his ears which made Louis nod over his words.

“Don't worry. She'll be fine.” A satisfying smile cherished Louis's lips when he assured the other man who was being so worried to hell as later that Louis talked further ahead after he patted Yenail's head. “I'll talk to Leena and she'll be with her.”

“She's so nice. You'll be fine with her. Trust me.” Marquis made a turn to her while creping an assuring smile when her eyes went blank after listening to him.

“Is there any girl in the world that is unknown to you?” Yenail asked and her eyes held the same innocence when she asked Marquis about the meaning of slut and he remembered that thing.

“You.” Marquis simply smirked when he replied and captured her between his arms. “The most difficult puzzle that I found so hard to solve, darling.”

“Marquis.” The utter wave of shyness hit her which busted her blush so immediately when she slightly hit his chest and simply made him laugh a little.

“Louis, can you arrange a private cell for me?” He then turned towards Louis with the most innocent baby eyes when at the either side, Louis held a confused look over his now annoyed face as his next words made Louis slap his arm. “I'm in desperate need to fill up my taste buds before leaving this place.” Marquis turned back towards his own girl when his fired breaths hit her neck as he shamelessly bit her sweet spot, whereas she was trying to push him away while exploding in damn embarrassment and shyness at the same time.

“Yeah. Yeah. You master of all perverts. No! We don't have it.” Louis scoffed and rolled his eyes towards the scene after making a turn.

“Baby girl, you're mine. You don't know how much I want us in bed right now.” His words were heavy like his voice, which rolled over her neck while she was being in his hold.

“You're being impatient now. How will you control yourself there?” She asked while still being between his arms when he just blinked towards the question that was raised as a deep sigh that he heaved after he lowered his head but lifted it so early when later that he passed her a dirty smirk while doing the delivery of his dangerous words further ahead.

“That's why I want to fill myself with every drop of you, tonight.”
