The Devil Charming's
Part 43's
The steps leading to a room filled the silence of Edward's mansion. After his return from Russia and everything was done there, Edward continued to take care of the company every day, leaving his wife in the mansion and never allowing Lizbeth to leave without his permission.
Taking care of the two companies that had just been merged really took a lot of time to not have time to accompany Lizbeth at home, even his attention to his wife and prospective children was greatly reduced. Indeed, there is no need to worry about the state of Lizbeth when he left because Alena will come every morning and then come home in the afternoon even the woman was too excited to welcome the first grandchild Miller to the nursery it was prepared full of various items that Edward thought excessive. However, Edward and Lizbeth let Alena enjoy the moment to welcome the birth of a grandchild.
Recalling that Lizbeth's birth mother was alive, Edward and Lizbeth explained this shortly after returning from Russia. They explained to the Miller family that Lizbeth was separated from her biological mother and met again by accident. All of Edward's stories have been packaged in such a way as to convince the Miller family of the explanation that Edward and Lizbeth gave.
The entire extended family only understood that Lizbeth came from a respectable Russian family and had a brother who had also just met due to being separated since childhood. No one suspects that because Liana also had time to come to New York to meet the Miller family and introduce herself.
Not to forget, Edward also told the figure of Alexa who is his biological sister. Alena was surprised but after Alexa also came to see the Miller family, Alena had cried and asked Alexa to stay with him let alone see how familiar Alexa with Nathalie since the beginning of the introduction. Of course it was rejected subtly by Alexa on the grounds that she had to occupy the mansion relics of her parents because Edward already has his own mansion in residence with Lizbeth.
It was a relief for Edward and Lizbeth as if all the problems they faced were over and all the pain and sadness would be replaced with happiness. Edward's steps came to a halt in front of a tightly sealed whitewashed door and the man immediately turned the doorknob and opened it without a sound.
A thin smile adorned a beautiful face that looked tired when his blue iris caught the figure he loved sleeping on the sofa with a sideways position until the distended stomach Lizbeth was clearly visible because the woman was only wearing satin sleep dress is quite thin.
The black suit that Edward was wearing now lies on the table with the sleeves of the shirt that has been rolled up to the elbow, it seems like Lizbeth overslept while waiting for her to come home to not notice her uncomfortable sleeping position.
“You should sleep in bed, baby,” muttered Edward in a flipping motion Lizbeth was about to hold his wife to move her into bed.
Without Edward expecting, Lizbeth opened her eyes and immediately pulled Edward's tie to make her husband almost overpower her if not swiftly Edward held her weight with both hands between Lizbeth's head.
“You're home late again and this time without contacting me, mr.” Edward raised his eyebrows before looking down on his wife's chest, which looked more contained than before, unknowingly swallowing his saliva and immediately turning his focus k3e2m0bali to Lizbeth.
“You...the more beautiful,” said Edward hoarsely with a gentle gesture stroking his wife's cheek with the back of the hand.
Lizbeth clucked and pushed Edward's chest out of position. “Since when do you like to switch conversations?” Edward flicked his shoulders and casually began to take off his tie and shirt buttons one by one. “There's something I need to get done before I go home so, I didn't have time to call you.”
Lizbeth squinted his eyes, he understood very well there was another meaning in the word ‘beres’ that Edward said because Lizbeth already knew Edward very well, the woman even memorized if there was a slight change in her husband's habits. As of this moment, Edward let go of his shirt walking away and turned his back. It's not a big deal, but since Lizbeth's pregnancy, Edward has never forgotten that his wife likes to see him take off the shirt in front of her. “Sleep, I'll catch up after the shower,” said Edward just turned his head without wanting to turn his body that was in front of the bathroom door.
Lizbeth ignored her husband's words. The woman continued to walk closer and then held Edward's arm, which was about to enter the bathroom.
“What are you hiding from me?” “Nothing, dear.”
“Long!”
Lizbeth forced Edward to turn around and was shocked to see a wound on Edward's left abdomen.
“What happened? Who attacked you?” Lizbeth asks Edward to sit on the sofa.
“Only small quarrels, you don't have to worry,” Edward said as Lizbeth's hand gently touched his wound.
“Who did it?”
Edward sighed seeing the demanding gaze of his wife. His desire to hide this from Lizbeth will not succeed because his wife is quite sensitive to everything in her.
“Fruit of one of my business rivals who just went bankrupt. He blames me for thinking I'm too greedy in the business world.” Edward clucked. “She's the stupid one for not being able to compete healthy.”
“I just found out if such a person is able to hurt you,” taunted Lizbeth even though the worried highlight is still clearly visible in her beautiful green iris.
Edward snorted and pulled something out of his pants pocket and threw it on the table.
A name tag with the words Gracia makes Lizbeth frown. “isn't Gracia your secretary? So he attacked you?”
Edward nodded. “The woman turned out to be his mistress. He stabbed me when I was about to get into the car that he didn't realize Gracia dropped her name tag. I've confirmed the culprit via CCTV that it is indeed Gracia.”
“How can it?” Mumbled Lizbeth seemed to not believe that Edward's own confidant was trying to hurt Edward.
If not for the damn knife containing the poison, I would have been able to shoot him in the head right then and there,” Edward growled before throwing a rough breath.
The incident was quite quickly supported by the effects of the poison that went well to make balance and view Edward could not work well, lucky he could still contact Victor before his consciousness was exhausted.
“What will you do to him?” Tanya Lizbeth Lirih hugged her husband.
“Slightly play as usual inside headquarters. Coincidentally it had been a long time that the place was not soaked by blood,” replied Edward casually while Lizbeth shook his head strongly.
“Do.”
“I didn't ask you to see it, dear.”
“Not because of it.” Lizbeth raised her face to look at Edward seriously then pulled Edward's hand to stroke his belly. “In the meantime you will be a father, can you temporarily not do something that..”.
Edward kissed Lizbeth's lips at a glance cutting off his wife's speech. “I won't do it.”
The gentle rubbing on Lizbeth's cheeks made a sense of comfort enveloping the woman.
“But that doesn't mean I'm going to let go of the woman and the old man just like that,” Edward continued to throw off Lizbeth's smile.
“Let Victor take care of it. Uh! maybe also Alexa would love it if I asked her to play around a little with a knife.” Edward smiled with a smile.
Lizbeth took a deep breath and then took it out slowly. “As far as you are. I hope our son will be far from the dark life of his father and mother. I just want our son to live a normal life that is far from the cruel world of mafia.”
Can not be denied how many mafia out there who do not like fellow mafia for various reasons and continue to try to bring each other down. All this time Edward's reason for surviving in the dark mafia is to take care of his family, he will not hurt people without reason but if there is something that interferes with his life and his family then there will be no forgiveness.
“You mind?”
Edward smiled and shook his head. “No. I never mind your decisions.”
“Can you sleep without a shower tonight?”
Once again Edward could only agree to his wife's request. He realized that Lizbeth needed his attention and precious time like this would not waste Edward to argue against Lizbeth's wishes.
“You want to sleep now?”
Lizbeth nodded letting Edward carry her to the bed and lay her down slowly.
“Why suddenly forbid me to shower?” Asked Edward stroked Lizbeth's head in his arms.
“I've been very sleepy to be back waiting for you.” Edward chuckled softly and then gave a light kiss on his wife's face which ended in a soft lip kiss.
“Sleep, I won't let you wait anymore.” “Goodnight, Daddy.”
“Goodnight dear,” reply Edward with a kiss of cover on Lizbeth's stomach before falling asleep hugging his wife.

Louis leaned against the wall with both hands folded in front of his chest while watching Alexa's every move hit the sandasack energetically. The girl was not even aware of the figure of Louis who had been watching her for a long time spilling emotions on the object in front of her. The punch and kick that Alexa has done since an hour ago seems to continue if Louis does not beat until it stops Alexa activity.
With a breath of breath Alexa walked away from her toys and then lay her body on the floor just like that. There was no sound between them even though Louis was now sitting next to Alexa.
The girl closed her eyes with a heartbeat that was getting tighter. Damnit damnit! He did not know if to talk about Louis because since their arrival from Russia, Alexa was in a sense of uneasy every time with Louis even though the man never mentioned anything about their agreement. Well, not never but not yet. “Drink?”
Alexa opened her eyes looking at Louis who gave her a bottle of mineral water. The girl went to sit down and immediately drank the water Louis gave her until the remaining half. “So you came here just to give me this?” Ask Alexa before swearing slowly realizing that her question indirectly provoked Louis to discuss the things he continued to avoid.
Louis took a rough breath before laying himself on the floor alternating positions with Alexa before.
“Are you going to ask me to wait again this time? I'm not forcing you to accept me, Lexa. I just want to make sure that I know where I am and who I am to you.”
Alexa was still silent at Louis's words.
“Alright, forget if you really don't want to answer it” Louis closed his eyes with both hands that he made head pads. “I'll assume you never—”
Louis' words stopped and immediately he opened his eyes in surprise when he felt Alexa's chewy lips pulverize his lips, even now Alexa's body has overstretched him so reflexively both hands move hugging Alexa's back, close their bodies and let Alexa kiss them.
“You know..” Alexa let go of her kiss and stroked Louis' jaw gently with the distance between their faces still very close until the breath of each other felt warm. “...I just don't know what to say. I mean..you know ‘kan that I'm not good at talking sweet especially about love? I hope my kiss was enough to be the answer to your proposal at that time.”
Louis digested Alexa's speech quite quickly and with a definite movement he turned their bodies until now Alexa is under it. “You sure?”
Alexa nodded, there was no sound she could make at a time like this. Damn it! A strange atmosphere like this felt more tense than seeing the muzzle of a gun pointed at him. Alexa didn't know why she held her breath as Louis brought her face closer and she reflexively closed her eyes until she was surprised, Louis didn't kiss her like he had kissed Luois, but the man kissed her forehead long enough gently and soulfully. Oh God! kisses like this are more deadly for the heart of Alexa than the lip kiss they did earlier.
Louis chuckled softly at Alexa's current expression. “You can breathe now.”
Unknowingly Alexa exhaled her breath to make Louis increasingly tickled amused. “You think I'll kiss your lips?” Louis G32o6da.
“Ti..no. i.”.
“Save your wish that, baby. Because I will give it in front of the altar,” said Louis increasingly make a red tinge on Alexa's face clearly visible.
“Ah! turns out my future wife can blush like this. You look more normal than usual,”.
“Damn! Get away from me!”
Alexa pushed Louis' body that was unable to make Luois flinch in the slightest. The man looked at her intensely. “I love you, Alexa. Will you marry me?” Lamar Louis for the second time.
“A...what the hell is this? Ka's...You've been waving at me Louis!”
“I'll repeat it so I'm sure you really accept me wholeheartedly.”
Alexa swallowed her saliva and cleared her throat. “Sorry, Louis but I can't.”.
Alexa hung up her sentence to see Louis' face change pias. “I can not refuse it,” continued Alexa accompanied by a loose laugh to see the change in Louis' expression that according to Alexa will be very rarely he saw.
“I can't refuse a great man like you.” Alexa smiled and put her arms around Louis' neck. “I love you, Louis.”
Louis rolled to the side and Alexa was on top of him and hugged the girl tightly. “Love you more, baby. Thank you for accepting me.”
Alexa enjoyed their arms, enjoying the sensation of her heart beating racing along with the heartbeat of Louis who was not much different from her.
