LUCIUS DEVINE
I watched as Lisa slept in a much more comfortable bed that the hospitals provided even in the VVIP Wards.
I booked the best doctors in the country for two weeks instead and as for every equipment they needed? I had bought them all already though some were still on their way here.
Yeah, I was probably building my own medical facility but that was great anyways. I did have my own team of doctors who always took care of the injured men and all but I didn’t want then attending to Lisa.
“I love you” I whispered softly and kissed the back of her hands.
My Cupcake looked better now. She had eaten even though it was very little but I was glad she did eat.
The cute woman on my bed insisted though that she was feeling better because she saw me and not because of the meal I had.
The baby? Our baby was still there. Strong just like her pretty mother.
I got up on my feet, bent a little over with a groan and kissed Lisa on the forehead.
My entire body ached. My gunshot wounds hadn’t even healed up. They still hurt badly but I could swear I didn’t feel any of the pain until I was back home.
Funny how one’s brain decided to ignore some certain pains when one is in some certain situation.
Diane walked into the room and gave me a small smile before looking at sleeping Lisa. Diane had cried when she saw me walk in with Lisa and then she had uttered loads of thank you’s to me.
She walked up to Lisa and gently patted her hair.
“Again, thank you so much” she thanked me.
“Those words are starting to sound a bit annoying since I have heard them so much. Again, Lisa is my life. I saved my very own life”
Diane smiled and then looked away.
“Seb used to say something similar” she sniffed in.
“I am sorry about Seb. I really am” I chipped in an apology.
“Yeah, I know. It wasn’t your fault, I understand better now” she mumbled.
“I am just happy… Glad that Lisa has a man who loves her this much.”
“I am more glad Lisa chose to love a man like me”
“You underestimate how good of a man you are” Diane smiled and then frowned a bit.
“But you also do over estimate your strength as a man, don’t you? You need to be back in a bed and be tended to by doctors and nurses, Mr. Devine. Don’t make my daughter a widow before she even gets married”
“Talking about marriage…” I studied Lisa’s expression to confirm she was asleep.
“I have your blessings now, right?” I asked.
“Sure, you do and don’t act like my blessings mattered so much. You are going to marry her even without my blessings”
“True” I affirmed with a chuckle.
“But it would be better with your blessings” I added.
“Enough talking, Mr. Devine. The doctors said you are going to breakdown soon if you go on”
“Alright” I groaned and holding the bedframe, I leaned down and kissed Lisa’s forehead again.
“Will be back” I whispered to her.
TWO WEEKS LATER
“LUCIUS!” Lisa yelled my name.
“On my way, Love” I called back, pushing the door open with a glass of orange juice, a glass of banana juice, a glass of apple juice and two other glasses of fruit juice.
Yep, the cravings had started kicking in and fuck was it fun to watch my Cupcake make different requests.
She had requested for two different fruit juices in the past five minutes but had refused to taste them. She wanted something else and I was back with something else.
“I am here” I shut the door behind me and walked to the bedside table, gently dropping the tray.
I know I could have had the maids bring it up but Lisa wanted me to do that too. Bring it up to her.
I chuckled softly. It made me feel so good, having my woman do this with me.
“Which would you like, Cupcake?” I asked.
“None. I lost interest” she spread her arms instead.
“I want a big, warm hug” she was standing beside the window.
“Really? You want none? Not the apple juice? Or the banana juice?” I asked, walking up to her already.
“None” she shook her head and I hugged her.
Hmm.
That scent, that warmth.
“Cupcake?”
“Yeah?” She pulled back from the hug but I didn’t let her pull away entirely.
I only let her pull away so much as to be able to look at my face.
“You remember we still have a pending vacation, right?” I asked and her face lit up.
The more I stay with Lisa, the more I find things to absolutely adore about her and this… This expression where her face lights up and her eyes turn bright is one of the things I now live for.
“I almost forgot. Our lovely vacation that got ruined because we had to come back and handle the Sandro situation” she frowned a bit and I pulled at her cheek .
“We are going back and this time nothing is going to ruin it”
Yeah, nothing could ruin it because this time was when I was going to ask Lisa to marry me and be my wife.
Geez! Lucius Devine was going to have a wife and a perfect one at that!
“I do have a question” Lisa said, her voice low. An indication that what she was going to ask about wasn’t going to please both of us.
“Go on” I caressed her cheek gently.
“Irene? And the Greyson bastard?”
“They are taken care of” was all I managed to grit out.
“Dead, right?” She asked.
“Yes, Cupcake. And as much as I would love to tell, you definitely would not like the details”
But I loved the details a lot. I loved, tearing their skin bit by bit. I loved breaking Greyson’s fingers, the ones he had slapped my lovely woman with, roasting them in front of him and forcing it down his throat.
I loved shoving Irene’s head into water and having her out of her breath just like I was out of mine when she took Lisa away from me.
I love butchering both of their bodies and just like I had said, I would, I had Irene’s body buried apart from each other.
I wasn’t sparing a chance for her to wake up again and come take Lisa away from me. These details… Lisa would find them too gory, too cruel and many others would find them like that too but for me, it wasn’t even enough.
Lisa was mine. I was hers. We belonged together and anybody who tried tearing us apart had to go through death in its worst manner.
Sandro was lucky. So lucky to have died that easily but any other person had a try at taking Lisa away from me would not be that lucky. Never.
