The Devil Charming's
The Part 18

Lizbeth blinked her eyes many times noticing the light of the morning sun that was slipping through the gap of the curtains of the room that had not yet opened. The woman turned her body to face the owner of the handsome face that was wrapping her sturdy arms around Lizbet's stomach, for a while Lizbeth enjoyed the view in the morning, ah—Lizbeth forgets that this morning was their first morning being a couple.

Lizbeth moved her fingers to walk down Edward's jawbone, which was covered in ludicrous fur when it came into direct contact with the skin of her hand.

“Morning,” said Edward with a distinctive hoarse voice waking up. Slowly Edward brought Lizbeth's hand which he had held on his lips and kissed him at a glance. The sweeping sharp gaze managed to hypnotize Lizbeth's morning with a bursting sense on his heart.

Slowly the woman tightened her body on Edward's body and was greeted warmly by her husband.

“My body is all sick, Ed,” complained Lizbeth with a muffled voice on the chest of Edward's field.

Edward stroked Lizbeth's back gently and descended to his wife's hip bone.

“Why?”

“Entahlah, probably because almost all day yesterday I was standing with heels after that had to enjoy the first night at the headquarters that almost made me lose my life.”

Edward chuckled softly at Lizbeth's words. Its often changing nature makes Lizbeth no longer surprised. Like this morning, the man looked sweet and treated her like any other normal couple out there. But it does not rule out a few moments in the future Edward will return to his cold and cruel nature as the man showed last night.

Lizbeth enjoys the gentle swab that Edward still gives, then looks up. His fingers moved slowly rubbing Edward's chest.

“Can I ask you something?” Edward let go of his embrace and sat down and cleared his throat.

“We will clean ourselves then breakfast first.” Lizbeth let out a long sigh looking at Edward who had gotten out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. Lizbeth's desire to talk about serious problems in his sweet atmosphere just vanished, it seems like Edward's serious character can not be lost. The man will not want to talk about something not in his situation.

****

Lizbeth kicked the bathroom door open violently because Edward did not lock it. Edward who was releasing his shirt turned his head and raised his eyebrows.

“What?”

Lizbeth just kept quiet and then put herself in the bathup after removing all her clothes in a relaxed motion as if she did not see Edward there. Lizbeth opened his eyes when he felt someone enter the bath, the next second Lizbeth closed his eyes again.

“I want to soak myself, go.” Edward gave his sharp gaze to the figure who was being closed enjoying the sensation of warm water mixed with soothing aromatherapy. Just this time someone dared to expel his existence especially when Edward was in the bathroom of his mansion. All the facilities here are in his power and no one has the right to expel him.

Damn it! If Lizbeth wasn't his wife, he would have shot that pretty head right now.

“Reverse!”

Lizbeth opened her eyes again and looked at Edward in front of her not understanding.

“What?”

“Reverse, I want to see something on your back,” explained Edward who had flipped forcibly Lizbeth's body until now the position of his wife was sitting behind him.

“What do you want to see?” Lizbeth held himself back from making the embarrassing sound of the crazy sensation caused by the rubbing of Edward's hand on his back. Even the elusan seemed to absorb every inch of his back skin.

“Ed.” Edward closed his eyes for a moment and then flipped over Lizbeth and pulled his wife to the position of Lizbeth on his lap. This intimate position made the two stared at each other for a long time until Edward who first opened his voice.

“Listen! whatever happens later, I hope you will still believe me.”

Lizbeth blinked his eyes, he felt that there was something big that Edwrad was hiding from him.

“Don't make me keep guessing, how can I still trust you if you've never been honest with me?”

Without giving any answer, Edward immediately grabbed Lizbeth's lips with a bit of roughness which was replied no less wildly by Lizbeth. They seemed to have understood each other's characters which seemed very rare to be able to make out a little more gently.

***

Edward sat on a couch with his laptop on his lap and reading glasses perched sweetly on his nose. The focused gaze and the agile finger movements on the keyboard further add to the enchanting impression in Lizbeth's view. He did not understand why he could fall in love with the figure of Edward who has many secrets in his life, even until now Lizbeth did not know who Edward well.

Edward looked up as one cup of coffee pointed right in front of his face,the man received a cup of coffee from his wife with a flat expression then closed his laptop and placed it on the table before he changed his sitting position and hinted Lizbeth to sit next to him.

“Didn't you want to ask me something?” edward said after sipping a little coffee.

As soon as Lizbeth's relief and pleasure were felt, he would not waste this opportunity, where he would ask anything that made him curious.

“Yes, I want to know who you are, how could Miller's son be the boss of the mafia?”

”I'm not a biological child mom.” “A-what?!”

Lizbeth could not hide his surprise, given how the sweet relationship that made Lizbeth envious, it was unlikely that Edward was not Alena Miller's biological child.

“How can? Who are your birth parents?” Exhaling slowly, Edward shook his head. “So far all I know is that my mother has died killed by the golden rose clan. Mom found me lying in a city park chair and from then on I became part of the Franklyn family before becoming part of the Miller family. Mom adopted me long before mom got married to daddy Nathan.”

“Then, how did you become a mafia boss?”

“Because of a betrayal. Five years ago, I became part of the American mafia as their mainstay hacker.in addition I established business cooperation with the boss of the mafia, he said,but it seems like the old bastard wants to master my business as well as myself completely.”

“And you did the fight?” lizbeth asked in disbelief.

“Do you think I would bow under someone's feet? I know all those dead old bangka cards. And after the night I found out your safety was threatened, I made a move to kill him first. From that moment on all his power fell on my hands. It has been a complete depravity in the organization during his leadership. And it turns out his traitors are on my side.”

“So your current loyal men are former traitors of previous mafia bosses?”

Edward chuckled softly and pulled Lizbeth's waist so that there was no longer any distance between the two.

“There is no such thing as a former traitor, once a traitor remains a traitor. Do you think that after betraying their old boss, they will be loyal to their new boss? No, dear, they will also be betrayed again one day. And I'm not as stupid as their former leaders, of course I got rid of them.”

Lizbeth clucked, even though what Edward said was true was still cruel.

“It's the same you just use them to support you and after that you throw it away.”

“I never asked them. And one more thing, you must be more ruthless if you do not want to feel the cruelty of others.”

“One more.” Lizbeth stared straight into Edward's blue eyes “Why did you marry me so soon?” Edward was silent for quite a while and was reluctant to move his lips to answer Lizbeth's question.

“Ed, don't make me suspect you more and end up no longer able to trust you,” continued Lizbeth increasingly impatient with Edward's residence.

“Because I love you.” Lizbeth shook her head and distanced her body to the distance between the two. “There's something else you're hiding, isn't it?” Edward did not answer, he moved and stretched out his hand. “C’mon! we're going to headquarters. There's a lot you can know about that woman there.” Despite not understanding, Lizbeth welcomes Edward's helping hand and follows Edward as he walks out of the mansion. There it turns out there is already Victor waiting with a black car as usual.

***

Lizbeth shuddered to see the terrible condition of the woman who almost hollowed her head with a bullet that night, the woman looked pitiful with the traces of dried blood soiling her body there were also new wounds as fresh blood was still coming out from the corners of her lips as well from some scratches that Lizbeth was sure were intentionally Edward's men do it on the orders of her cruel husband.

With his hands clasped tightly to Lizbeth's, Edward walked up to the helpless woman with his hands and feet tied to the pole in a standing position, the woman slowly looked up noticing the footsteps approaching towards her.

Lizbeth could feel a flash of anger and resentment in the woman's eyes while looking at her and was countered no less sharply by Lizbeth the thing that made Edward smile obliquely.

“chi!” the woman spat on Lizbeth who was lucky not to hit her because Lizbeth had already retreated first . “f*ck!!”

Edward let his wife in action to vapourize his emotions on the woman, even now Lizbeth has grabbed the woman's hair firmly after slapping her cheek hard.

“Bare, eh? Are you unaware of your current condition?!” furious Lizbeth prepared to pull his folding knife which was immediately held by Edward.

Lizbeth snorted and let go of her trap, then looked at Edward in annoyance making her husband just chuckle softly.

“Calm down baby.”

Without Lizbeth expecting it, Edward just kissed her, pulverizing her deeply and for a long time without caring around.

“This is more than enough to hurt him,” said Edward after releasing his pagutan and glancing at the woman who was looking very angry treated to such a heartbreaking sight.

“What else is this?!” lizbeth.

“F*ck! Why are you kicking me fucking woman?!” maki the woman seemed to be unable to accept Lizbeth kicking her hard. While Edward shook his head with a small laugh at Lizbeth's behavior.

“Explain, Ed or I will kill your captive!” “Alright..” Edward rubbed his chin.

“...just ask him directly, who he is and whatever it is.” Edward walked towards the sofa not far from where they were standing leaving Lizbeth still in his place with the woman.

“Explain or I'll stick my beautiful knife in your head!”

The woman laughed and occasionally coughed. It was seen that he was enduring the pain in his body that continued to be tortured.

“Do you believe that I am your husband's ex-lover? And you..is—“.
