“Why do you always meddle in my business!”
“Because you're just a bad guy who doesn't deserve forgiveness.”
I was able to see Sergio continue to beat Romano hard without mercy.
Until it looks like serious wounds on Romano's body and traces of blood exist from his body.
But I couldn't stop them because I also felt weak.
Sergio seemed satisfied that he had beaten up Romano, then he immediately picked me up and led me outside.
“Irish, are you okay?”
“Sergio, I have a headache.”
“Wait, I'll give you some medicine, which will relieve your pain.”
Sergio looked worried, and he immediately gave me a potion and helped me drink it.
I just gulped down the drink, so I could feel better.
“How do you feel now, Irish?”
“I feel better, Sergio, thank you so much.”
Then Sergio looks happy and relieved to see me better.
“You better sleep here, in your room, and keep your door locked, you'll be safe here, if there's anything suspicious tell me right away.”
“Okay, I'll do that, Sergio, thank you so much.”
Then Sergio left me, I felt very comfortable when I was near him, I also don't know why.
I started sleeping in my room, and after the pain, I felt slowly disappeared.
In the morning I saw Romano, I still loved him very much, and still wanted to have a meaningful relationship with him.
He seemed to be eating his breakfast and occasionally looked at me coldly.
“Romano, please forgive me, but I wasn't ready to do that before I got married.”
He looked silent, as if he didn't care about me, and didn't reply to a word I had said.
“Romano, can you hear me? I'm so sorry.”
It breaks my heart to see his cold attitude, what he wants is only my virginity, nothing more.
I still want to continue with him, but he seems to dump me, this makes me sad.
“Just let him act like that to you, Irish, I've beaten him and if he does something bad to you, I won't hesitate to kill him.”
Sergio kept staring at me, and he took my hand.
“That will be better, if you just go with me, you can immediately leave that selfish cruel man.”
I feel sad, but I still follow Sergio's request to go along with us to study.
In the car, I really can't stop thinking about my handsome Romano, maybe I have too high expectations of him.
He would never like a poor woman on a much different level from him.
I was also afraid that the Maxwells might kick me out if Romano told his parents what had happened.
“What are you thinking, Irish? Are you okay?”
“Yes, I'm fine, Sergio.”
I still feel so sad thinking about Romano, and I wiped the tears from my eyes, and maybe Sergio feels my sadness too.
“Irish, you don't have to cry over a mean and cunning man like Romano, it's too dangerous for you and if anything bad happens to you, then I will protect you.”
Then finally we got to the university, I saw Romano, and he just walked up to me.
I feel pleased because of his presence, even I can feel the butterfly in my stomach every time he is around me.
“Irish, may I borrow your assignment book to study? Because I have a test tomorrow.”
“Yes, of course, Romano.”
I immediately went out to give my important book for Romano to study, I don't care what my fate will be, the important thing is that I have helped the man I love so much.
“Hopefully, the test results will be good, Romano.”
He just smiled and nodded his head, then I saw Sergio immediately approaching the two of us.
Sergio looked angry, and he just punched the wall hard, making the other students startled and turned to look at us.
“What else do you want to do? You want to trick Irish into sleeping with you?”
“Of course not! You crazy man, stop bothering me.”
Sergio just immediately pushed Romano and slightly strangled him, they were both very tense, this made me frustrated seeing their commotion.
“Hey, you two! Please stop that, listen to me!”
I kept pulling Romano and Sergio, who was making a lot of noise, then finally they both tried to calm each other down.
“Irish, you should stay away from a bad man like Romano, he will do anything to satisfy his primal desire, and will continue to trick you.”
“I'm not what he said, I love you with all my heart Irish, I will marry you soon!”
Romano continues to defend himself and Sergio also looks very emotional and talks about all the bad deeds of his stepbrother too.
Slowly I was able to feel my focus getting lost because I remembered Romano's words which felt very meaningful to me.
He said that he will marry me, I don't know what to say, but I feel happy with his statement.
It turned out that he intended to have a serious relationship with me, I don't know whether I was hit by his cradle or not, but this made me happy because I fell deeper for him.
“Irish, I hope you can take all of this seriously, and become a woman with a strong personality so that you don't get swayed by this sly man's words.”
I nodded my head and after that Sergio just pulled my hand for us to go to the classroom together.
“Sergio, even you can't get what you want!”
“Shut up your mouth!”
Without much to say, Sergio just beat Romano brutally.
The students seemed to be keeping an eye on us, but they didn't dare to separate the commotion between Sergio and Romano.
Until a senior lecture stopped the two of them, and he asked me to come with him to his room.
I saw the senior lecture also separated Romano from Sergio, and he took him went into the near hospital.
Because the attack from Sergio seemed to give him a pretty serious wound.
And he continued to speak seriously to Sergio, asking him to stop all this mess and let it go.
I'm quite saddened by Romano's badly injured condition, but I'm still trying to be strong in the face of everything.
“Irish, I apologize for the commotion that has occurred, I hope you can understand, I don't like Romano's arrogance.”
“Yes, that's okay Sergio, I will understand everything that has happened.”
“Be Never afraid of me because I will always be by your side to continue to protect you.”
Today marks the first day back after what happened last week. A lot has changed since then. Since we've gotten married, my mother has completely stopped trying to convince me to marry her son, although it has been clear throughout the past weeks that she hates him. But she has also been very understanding towards Sergio, even if she hasn't accepted us yet.My father is currently living with us, as my brother had kicked him out of the apartment last week. He didn't seem very happy about it, especially since it meant that his boyfriend would have to give up their house to live with him. I didn't mind that much though. The less attention that I get from my family, the better.This morning, I decided to wake up early so that I could get some breakfast ready before everyone woke up. I quickly made myself breakfast and put it in a bowl for Sergio. I then proceeded to walk around our apartment getting ready for the day. I was brushing my teeth when the bathroom door burst open and Sergio ra
"Baby, you know that I won't do that ever again. Never. You know that I will always protect you. Always, always. Forever and ever." Sergio reassured me.I nodded in response."Do you remember when you said you needed a break?" I asked quietly."Yeah. Of course I do. Why? Are you feeling better now?" He asked me, rubbing circles on my back."Kind of, yeah." I replied shakily."Well, it's late and I think it's time for us both to sleep. Come on, let's get up and make some coffee so that we can get some rest." Sergio suggested.I reluctantly opened my eyes and slid out of the covers. I followed Sergio out of the room and we entered the kitchen. We poured ourselves two cups of coffee, drinking them gratefully. After putting the cups in the sink, we carried them over to the sofa and sat down."Do you want to talk about it?" Sergio asked me gently, taking my hand in his."Not really." I admitted. "Maybe later?"Sergio smiled at me reassuringly. I leaned forward and kissed him softly, trying
"Wait. What?" I interrupted. "When did that happen?! Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving? What about us? Where were we during those years? Did I know what you were doing? Why did you hide that from me? What happened between you and my brother?"Sergio closed his eyes."You know that it was my fault...you know that I didn't mean for him to become involved with you. It was my choice to leave you alone. But he insisted that you came back with me. That he loved you enough to be willing to sacrifice everything and everything. I tried to convince him that it was in his best interest to stay away. But he wouldn't listen. He was stubborn and refused to change his mind.""He convinced my father that you two were meant to be together. He told my father that you were perfect for each other and he was determined to get married sooner rather than later. That he would wait until you were both eighteen and that it would be worth it because he was sure you'd love him as much as he loved you.
For a few minutes, we just stared at each other, not saying a word. I decided that now was a good time as any to ask him about his relationship with Sergio."So, you and Sergio....?" I started hesitantly.Sergio looked up and stared at me for a few seconds before turning away, his expression unreadable."Yes, we're together." He replied. "But it won't work out." He added when he saw how shocked I looked. "We love each other, I know that. But you'll never be able to understand us like you do. You don't know everything about us. You've known us for all of a day.""How long have I been here?" I asked, not understanding why we were talking about this. Wasn't that supposed to be my question? I had the feeling that I already knew the answer."About seven days." Sergio replied calmly."Seven days?!" I yelled, surprised. "And you didn't think that it was important to tell me that I've been unconscious for seven days?""We thought you needed time to adjust. We wanted to give you some space to
Tears kept spilling from my eyes as I tried to run harder than ever before to catch up with them. Suddenly, I found myself at an empty street. I looked both ways to try and find any sign of the couple and I spotted a familiar figure sitting under a lamppost a little way ahead of me. I broke into a sprint and rushed towards him. As I approached, I began to realize that the man wasn't wearing a jacket, so I figured he must have been freezing.When I got close enough, I could see that he was looking straight ahead with his arms resting on his knees, completely unmoving. I slowly came to stand right next to him, hoping that he would acknowledge my presence. But, he didn't. His expression remained the same and I knew that he was ignoring me. For a second, I stood there, staring at him without moving, completely dumbstruck by what was happening."Are...Are you alright?" I whispered, afraid to make a sudden move lest he would snap out of whatever trance he was currently in.He didn't reply
"Not really. I don't know. I'll probably just hang out with the guys, but that might take a while." I answered."Okay. I'll pick you up at seven then." He said. "How does that sound?""Perfect." I said, smiling slightly. "I'll see you then.""See you then." He responded, hanging up.I stared at my phone for a few minutes longer. I knew there was nothing to worry about. He wouldn't come to pick me up if he knew something was bothering me. He was just being friendly. After a few moments though, I realized that it was already nine in the morning and that the time to wake up everyone else was approaching rapidly."Great. Now everyone else will wake up." I said with a sigh. I picked up my phone and dialled the number of the person who most definitely was not going to appreciate waking up this early. She answered almost immediately."Irish, I was expecting you to call earlier. Is everything OK?" She asked me."Yes, I'm fine. I just woke up and wanted to check if you were awake.""Ah yes. T
