Hundred and sixty-nine

Hundred and sixty-nine
Angelina's POV

I had to watch my husband bleed on our wedding day in our wedding venue. I felt a shift in my life, like I would be seeing more of what happened at the church. We left the church for his men to clean up the bodies. Thank God the few media personals were shut because if not this would have been a scandal and Arnold would have ended up dealing with the law.
I didn't want to even think about it. I couldn't possibly lose my husband on our wedding day, right?
I didn't want to imagine it but that would have been devastating and a life time trauma. I couldn't imagine my life without him.
But what if the bullet hadn't miss and actually got to his heart?
" You are crying." His thumb reach out to under my eyes to clean my tears.
" Shouldn't we go to the hospital first?" I asked as the car took a turn on the familiar road.
" Sorry for scaring you." He looked down at me with a sincere look in his eyes." I should have known Kelly will attack." He rubbed my face with his bloody hand and I shook my head." It's not your fault." No one would have predicted so.etjimg like that right." But you did save me." I said, my eyes filled with hot tears.
I could still remember what happened in there.
The sudden gunshot and Kelly's hatred. Her hated gaze.
She wanted to kill me and Arnold jumped in front of me like it was nothing.
" I didn't save you, I saved my heart." He whispered while looking into my eyes." I will lose it if something ever happens to to." He creased my face gently.
" You are the most important thing in my life. I can't lose you." He leaned down and kissed my lips." I love you, Angelina." He rested his forehead against mine.
I didn't say anything. I tried to let the moment last but then his soaked shirt reminded me of his condition.
It wasn't the first time I have seen his got shot but I couldn't help it.
" You are bleeding." I reminded, turning my gaze to his left arm.
The car pulled over into the mansion and he leaned towards me in my seat." It's our wedding night. Lets not waste it." He said and I frowned. He was hurt and he was thinking about wedding night?
I watched him step out and then walked around the car to get the door for me." Come on Angle. We are now husband and wife in every sense." He said, scooping me in his arms.
He took me I to our room which was nicely made. The bed was decorated with red roses.
" You made this?" I asked and he titled his head to the side." I want you to enjoy what every bride does." I want you to always remember that we are married. I don't want you to ever forget our wedding night." He grabbed my hand and kissed the shining diamond ring he put around my finger.
My gaze landed on a picture frame on the wall.
It was me. A portrait of me and I looked vulnerable.
I wasn't wearing anything because my body was covered in a blanket.
My naked legs were out so did a part of me thighs.
It looked like after sex image. My hair was disheveled and the bed looked a mess." When did you make that?"
" I made it." He replied calmly Andi turned back to the painting.
" You can paint?" I asked because this was the first time I was hearing this.
" This is to show you that I'm not only good with guns and knifes." He cupped my face and suddenly, a knock came on the door.
" Arnold, the doctor is here." It was Marco.
" I will be right back." He kissed my lips and walked out of the door.
He painted that. I shouldn't be surprised because the Arnold I knew wouldn't allow Anyone to paint something of this sort of me.
The painting looked beautiful, intimacy and sexy. I love the pose and how my skin looked.
I was still admiring the painting when my cell phone suddenly rang.
" When are you coming back to Romania?" It was my grandfather.
" I'm not coming, grandfather. I'm married to him, Arnold." I told him and the line went silent for a few seconds." Remember you have a home here in Romania. Come anything you want." I nodded and the call cut.
He did question my decision just a calm speech. It was unlike him, my eyes stuck to the screen of my phone.
Did Arnold do something?
" Who was that?" Arnold's voice resounded from the door and I shifted my gaze to him.
He stood there without a shirt on. Just his black pant and the white bandage wrapped around his arm.
His hair looked wet.
It seems he did take a shower.
I gathered my wedding dress in my hand and ran into his arms. He wrapped them around my waist and hug me tightly.
" I love you very much, Arnold." I said and he wrapped his arms around me." And you ready to fulfil your duty as my wife?"he asked and I nodded." Okay. We will start now." He carries me and gently placed me on the bed.
He undid his belt before hovering over me with so much hunger in his eyes." I wanted to do this the moment you walked into the church in this white dress." He kissed my cheek.
His hands support his weight on the bed." Do you remember what Nikolai said some time ago?"
I bit on my bottom lip." That you have me wrapped around your finger?" He continued as he pulled back.
His dark gaze stared into mine like a hungry predator.
" I know he was trying to piss you off." I finally said and he burried his face in my neck." He was right. " He said and I swallowed." You have me wrapped around your little fingers,Angelina." He gaze back into my eyes." I will do anything to keep you by my side." He confessed and my eyes lighter up." I'm glad I do." I said sincerely.
His face moved to my chest and he began kissing my cleavage and them my breast." I want to you to learn how to shoot." He bit in my nipple and I moaned.
" I want you safe and sound all the time." He kissed me down to my stomach before looking up at me." I will protect you with everything I have." Black stained the bandage but he didn't care.
" I want you to forget what happened." He slide down on the floor on his knees and slowly took off my shoes.
He lifted my wedding gown and dip his head in-between my legs.
