Lizbeth blinked his eyes many times, Edward's words a moment ago made it difficult to breathe until his heart was pounding wildly. The blue eyes that were still staring at him showed no meaning other than a seriousness.
“Ed, I—”
Edward was still silent and did not move from his place that locked Lizbeth under his outgoing body. He was waiting for the continuation of the sentence Lizbeth who was interrupted due to the girl who seemed still not to believe what he had just said. Edward is not the type of person who likes to talk tele in saying something. As it is today, and Edward is also not a person who likes to joke in serious conditions. Truly a stiff and scary type of man.
“How can you say that?”
“I just need an answer Yes or no,” firmly Edward again make Lizbeth flutter and the next second the girl snorts.
“You didn't ask anything! So what do I have to answer? You just saw—”
“Married to me,” cut Edward with the same expression.
Lizbeth pushed Edward's body firmly until the man stepped away from him and then changed his position to sit and also pulled Lizbeth to sit beside him. Lizbeth himself is still trying to normalize his heartbeat, this is more stressful than having to stalk the enemy before shooting him. Yeah, a situation like this Lizbeth had never imagined before.
Lizbeth cleared his throat when Edward was still faithfully staring at him, waiting for the answer he would give.
“I—” Lizbeth takes a deep breath before continuing
his sentence. “Listen Ed, I only know you as limited to Eduardo Estebat, a ruthless mafia from America who even you yourself do not know who I am. As bad as my world, I am still a woman who wants to marry like a normal human out there who wants a marriage by knowing each other, loving each other also—”
“Do you love me?”
Again Lizbeth had to endure his frustration from Edward who kept cutting his words. But there is something more important now, the question posed by the man.
Does he love Eduardo Estebat?
That sense may have started to exist since he had to get involved with the ruthless mafia. But, does Lizbeth have to admit it now? What about Edward's own feelings? “Am I going to get the same answer when I say...yes??” Asked Lizbeth in a doubtful tone.
“Ya.” Edward replied quickly and briefly. “But I don't know who you are, Ed.”
“We will get to know each other as time goes by. We're going to New York tomorrow.”
Lizbeth frowned and looked at Edward who had regained his body. “What do you mean we're going to New York tomorrow?!”
“Married. Moreover?”
“I haven't said anything, dude!” Shouted Lizbeth.
“You said you loved me indirectly. And that was enough to answer my question regarding your agreement to marry me. I don't accept a traitor, Lizbeth, if you've said ‘ya’ then there's no reason to refuse.”
“Shit! I didn't say anything!! Don't think of me as a toy or consider me your man who must submit to all your desires!” Furious Lizbeth is ready to throw his punch directly with swift Edward avoid before the man turned the situation until now Edward who attacked. Edward pushed the girl's body up to her face on the bed with both hands that Edward locked on her back.
“What do you want, damn it!!”
“If you want me to treat you well stop rebelling. Or I'll use my own way to drag you to the Altar!” Threaten Edward without wanting to answer Lizbeth's question about what the man really wants.
Edward pulled Lizbeth's hair back until the girl looked up. “Do you love me?” Whisper Edward with a low tone.
Edward smiled obliquely and removed Lizbeth's hair. “You love me, Lizbeth. Don't try to lie to me because I know everything.” Even I knew what I had to do Edward continued inwardly.
Edward let go of the lock on Lizbeth's hands and let the girl change her position until now they stared at each other still on the spacious bed. Lizbeth's sigh as well as the girl's gaze were enough to imply her current anger.
“See, can't you explain anything to me?”
“I love you,” said Edward without waiting long and immediately pulled the nape of Lizbeth until their lips met. Edward had begun to pulverize Lizbeth's thin lips quickly but gently made Lizbeth almost lose his mind. He could not think clearly even the sentence that Edward said before had not been able to digest Lizbeth well. Everything was going so slowly according to him, every touch Edward had on him at this moment caused an exaggerated sensation that made him want to keep moving. Lips that continue to be clicked at will every inc it shifted Lizbeth focus on the big hand Edward who had been guerrilla touch his body. I don't know when Lizbeth's body was lying under Edward's body. Until everything just goes.

“Are you sure of all this, sir?” Victor asked Edward thirty minutes after Edward called him and told him to come.
Edward put his coffee cup on the table after taking a small sip. “Hhmm...I've calculated everything.”
“But what about yourself? This is not our initial goal.”
Of many of Edward's men. Only Victor believed in listening to his plans and decisions to take action. Even the man will also be happy to listen to all the ravings of Victor and his opinions and disagreements as it is today. Edward understood that Victor was worried about him and certainly thought more of himself than anything else.
“We leave after Lizbeth wakes up. Get everything ready as soon as we get to New York. I'll take Lizbeth to see my family once everything is ready,” Edward said.
Victor sighed unexpectedly Edward would go so far as to introduce Lizbeth to the Miller family and Franklyn. Everything is really outside the boundaries. Edward stepped out of his safe zone for something Edward could have let go of right now. But it seems Edward's brain has another purpose.
“This will be a big surprise,” murmured Victor who can still be heard by Edward.
Edward chuckled softly and got up from his seat. “Yes, yes, I know that, Vic. So I told me to prepare everything. Because I don't want to trouble mom Alena.”
Victor grimaced at Edward's wide back who began to move away up the stairs to his room—tentunya. Victor could only hope that things would not be as complicated as they had imagined.
Edward approached the bed where Lizbeth was still unmoved in a thick blanket hiding his body that was wearing nothing there. A beautiful face that looks soft while sleeping makes Edward unable to shift his gaze. His hands were stretched out to pull Lizbeth's hair which covered part of the girl's face. Edward's blue eyes were fixed on the red color that was printed clearly on Lizbeth's neck due to his actions last night. He had not expected to do so far with the girl who managed to make him step out of the safe zone. “You don't want to wake up?”
Lizbeth opened her eyes slightly when she heard the heavy sound that entered her sense of hearing. In the next second, those beautiful eyes opened perfectly even the green bead was glaring at Edward with a gaze that managed to make Edward want to blow his laughter away.
“Ed?”
“Why?”
Lizbeth immediately pulled out her blanket as she felt the radiating heat of her cheeks given what she had done last night with the man.
Edward chuckled softly at Lizbeth's behavior when embarrassed like this which was actually adorable in Edward's eyes. Oh—where did that wild girl who last night kept shouting her name and also kept her excited? Damnit damnit! Edward was frustrated himself if this morning like this had to remember such a thing.
“Wake! we're leaving for New York.”
Lizbeth sighed a little annoyed and changed her position to sit with her hands still tightly gripping the thick blanket to cover her innocent body.
“I don't want to!”
“No problem,” replied Edward lightly “Then I will drag you into the plane with your condition still like this.” “Damn!”
Edward smiled in anguish at Lizbeth who chose to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom.
