Claire came out of her room taking small steps. She was getting bored being in the same room for the last 2 days. Yes, it was her 3rd day today in this house. She has been married to him for the last 3 days and she has talked to him only once yesterday on call and on their first night. And after that he left early for the office and returned back very late.
Is this the way they are going to live together?
Is it right to leave her like this in the early phase of their new life?
Claire's pov
When I woke up this morning, I again felt the same dream of being in my house, with my family. Being around them has always given me a kind of straight to fight my inner battles and my insecurities.
<Throughout its history, the Mafia has controlled everything from the street-corner drug trade to the highest levels of government. Its members operate outside the law, yet become accepted and sometimes feared parts of the neighbourhoods and cities they inhabit. Glorified by movies and television, hounded by law enforcement, marked for death by their enemies, these mobsters live violent and often brief lives. The Mafia is, in its own right, a family. To become a family member means to accept secret rituals, complicated rules and tangled webs of loyalty. Those who run afoul of the family risk being ostracized ... and worse. Many mobsters who have turned against the Mafia have met an untimely, often gruesome death. Mafia business deals with many businesses like loans, gambling, drugs, prostitutes, human trafficking, killing and many more.
Brandon and Claire finished their food together. There was a smile on his face the whole time. It was like the first time he felt content. Like they said there is some kind of different satisfaction when he had food in your home after the whole day of work, every tiredness flew away after spending a peaceful time with your family, your loved ones."Done?" He asked her as she drank the glass of water. She nodded to him. He whipped her lips with the tissue."Do you want to change your clothes?" He asked her. She was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. She must be feeling uncomfortable now. She nodded to him."Will you please call Mrs Anna or anyone else to help me?" She asked him while getting up from her seat. He too got up with her
Lauren and Mathew entered their house, she was helping him hold him. He still has injuries but he was now allowed to come home but he was supposed to do full-time rest to get better as soon as possible.She made him sit on the couch slowly and put a pillow under his fractured leg and a pillow behind his back for the proper support.They looked around towards their silent empty house. They had returned after so many days. It has been almost a month now, they were in the hospital. Mathew was not in the condition to return back and Lauren was there for him and her son.Brandon arranged everything for them there. All because of him today they returned back safely but all because of him they had landed up in that situation also. During this whole month they did
Brandon made Claire sit on her seat in the back seat of the car, he closed the door and himself sat near her. He asked the driver to go to their mansion.During the ride, Claire was very quiet. Brandon noticed her behaviour. He thought to ask her after reaching home, he came close to her. He squeezed her hand to get her attention. She turned to him."What are you thinking?" He asked her.She shook her head to him saying nothing."You know what you are not allowed to think of anything that makes you sad.""You have a robot for that. Just order him and you will get everything you want." He said to her, She laughed at him shaking her head.
Claire was roaming on her balcony dialling Ken's number but he was not picking up her call. She groaned in frustration."Idiot," she said as she again heard the same tone. She has been calling him for the last two days but he neither picked her call nor now called her back."Once an idiot is always an idiot." She called him in mind. He has become like this now. Brandon told her to give him time to adjust to the new place. She understands this, he has been in a new place making a new life but still, he could call her sometime, they rarely talk now.He talks to his parents regularly. She knows it but he doesn't have time for her. She felt sad about feeling the distance between her and her brother. They were always together and very close to each other.
"We are at the Adventure Spot. Here we will do some sports activities. " As soon as these left Brandon's mouth, Claire's face lit up in excitement."Thank you, Brandon I have always wanted to do an adventurous sport." She said, embracing him tightly. Goodness, he is making my dreams come true."Your dreams are my command." He said.Earlier some days they were sleeping together, or Claire was trying to sleep but sleep was far away from her eyes. The whole day she spent with him she did not have many things to do, she took proper rest and everything. She has started to listen to audiobooks now. She enjoyed it and it's a good way to spend her free time.
The next morning, Claire got ready first and she came out before Brandon who was also getting ready to go to his office.Claire went to the kitchen to ask about the breakfast for Brandon. She doesn't know how to cook or she also can't cook for him but at least she can take care of everything.She has always seen her doing all of this by herself, she was never very much interested in doing all of these cooking activities before but with passing, she felt like doing something special for him.As he never leaves a moment to make her feel special and the most beautiful girl in the world. She smiled and shook her head thinking about him. Mrs Anna noticed her dreamy smile."Someone seems happ
Brandon furiously entered his office, present on the first floor of their mansion. He directly came here without meeting Claire. He was not in this state of mind to behave calmly and nicely to anyone, so he thought to clear this mess first.He removed his suit jacket furiously and threw it on the couch. He opened the buttons of the sleeves and rolled it over till his elbow showed his veins. He put the letter and the pictures on the table, kept on moving back and forth in the room. He was constantly thinking about who it would be?He has taken care of everything very nicely, so what mistake has he made?He heard a knock on the door, it was Fred."Come," Brandon said
