Authors pov

It was late night and finally finished her night rutine. Xavier wasn't there, he left shortly after he dropped her home.

The things has became silent after last night, no arguments, no fights or screaming on each other. Xavier has became more patient with her, like he don't want to get angry on her anymore and most of the time he is lost in his world. Planning or thinking something deeply.

Sarah still couldn't forget the moments they spent in car. He didn't broke the hug untill they reached home neither he mind that she is on his lap. She can still feel his touch on her back and smiled at the memory when he was trying to comfort her.

This is the first time someone has embraced her with love after her mother, unknowingly Sarah has started getting attached to Xavier. The lonely depressed girl was in search of little warm place in the dark and cold world which she has started seeing in Xavier.

Sarah combed her hair with beautiful small smile on her lips.

'He cares!'

She thought.

No one has ever done something for her which Xavier did today. She was getting weird but good feeling when he was beating that man. The anger she witnessed today was for her and not because of her. He was angry because someone touched his wife. he  console her because she is his wife and he cares. He cancelled his meetings for her because may be she is important. All the thoughts were playing in her mind.

Still she didn't wanted to raise her hopes high, may be she is wrong. May be he can flip and this will only hurt her.

She walked out of the closet and he was still not there. Her eyes snapped towards the door when it got opened and Xavier walked in with blank look. He looked emotionless.

Sarah looked at him alert. He was shirtless, only in his black pants and was holding his shirt in his hand. She caught the glimpse of blood on it.

'did he took off his shirt because of my phobia... He never mind coming in the room with blood on his clothes before then why now...'

She thought but smile appeared on her face thinking he is being thoughtful about her.

She turned around and looked out of the balcony and saw few men carrying a dead body. She is smart enough to know that it's Gomez and Xavier has killed him. She doesn't want to imagine how he would have done it, scene from garden still lingers in her mind and gives her nightmares.

She lost the track of time while trying to tame her thoughts.

"Did you had dinner?"

Her thoughts got broken when she heard his strong masculine voice. She quickly turned around to look at him. He was in sweatpants and shirtless like purposely trying to flaunt his perfect body. Few wet strands of thick hair was resting on his forehead and she could smell the alluring fresh smell of essential oils. Her eyes roamed on his face and body with admiration in her eyes. She was drooling over her husband.

"I asked you something?"

Xavier snapped his fingers in front of her bringing her out of her la la land.

Sarah shook her thoughts aside and looked at him embarrassed while clearing her throat as he caught her drooling over him.

"Sorry... I didn't heard you."

"I said, did you had your dinner?"

He raised his eyebrows.

Sarah nodded yes, he hummed blankly.

"Why do you care?"

She asked taking him off guard.

Xavier looked at her for a second and started walking without answering her question.

Sarah grabbed his arm stopping him.

"You didn't answer"

She mumbled making him look at her with intense gaze.

Xavier removed her hand from his arm and gently pinned her to the wall. His eyes landed on her lips which still has a cut on it.

"Because you are my wife..."

He answered calmly while taking out the medical kit from the drawer.

"And no one can touch you while my name is connected with you..."

Sarah looked at him as he took the ointment and gently applied on her cut, his eyes didn't left hers as he gently caressed her lips with his rough gingers.

"You are my responsibility and I can't see someone else hurting you when you are staying with me..."

Sarah looked at him with hesitant face.

"Was it necessary to kill him..."

She asked and he sighed.

"It was more than necessary... He touched my wife..."

Xavier answered nonchalantly as he placed the kit back in the drawer.

Sarah's lipa curved in smile listening word 'my wife'.

"Is it only about your reputation or you genuinely care about me?..."

She questioned and he looked at her.

"May be I do... May be I don't..."

He answered carelessly and walked towards the bed.

She looked at him with small smile as he tucked himself under bed sheet.

'handsome monster...'

She walked towards her side and slide beside him. They usually don't cuddle if they haven't had s.εﾒ and it was difficult for her to sleep now. On top of that Xavier snatched the bed sheet all to himself in his sleep.

She tossed and turned and finally looked at him, it was cold and he had all the bed sheet for himself.
