Episode 18

I returned to the car with Samira, and the men cleaned up the mess. Julian would be joining us on the jet to Italy, and his men would embark after some adjustments there.

In the car, she was so terrified that she practically clung to me. She wasn't a fearful girl, but it was a moment of fragility that exposed her fear.

"Why does he want to hurt me?" she asked, raising her head, which had been resting on my chest while I held the cloth to stop the bleeding.

Julian looked at me through the mirror, and I could see him tighten his grip on the steering wheel.

"My love, Banin is a sadist; he enjoys inflicting pain. But he doesn't like to give pleasure. The sadist feeds on pain and suffering. Arnaldo is a worm who sells virginities, and I don't know if your parents knew it or not, but he sold yours. Banin didn't know you were with me, and he made it very clear that since he paid, you would be his." I didn't want to hide this from her. If Samira had been aware of the gravity of the situation, she wouldn't have put herself in danger.

"I will take care of you. Our house has security, and we will have our child. As soon as we announce the wedding, you will be marked as mine, and whoever touches mine, touches me," I said, and she turned her head.

We arrived at the hangar, and I helped her out of the car. Inside the jet, the crew was already waiting. The doctor was waiting with medication and the necessary utensils to stitch up her wound.

"Let's go to the jet's suite; the doctor has already sterilized everything needed for the procedure there. It's quite straightforward," I said.

She nodded in agreement and walked in a charmingly delicate manner. Arriving at the suite, she saw the needle next to the bed and took a step back.

"Love, stay calm. You need the stitches, but come here." I offered her my hand and sat on the bed. The cut was on her back, so I brought her to sit on my lap, embracing me.

"Hold me tight. You said you liked my scent, so come closer."

Soon she came and crossed her legs around my waist. Her movement made her fit deliciously against me, and I cursed myself for taking pleasure in it.

The doctor began to stitch her up, and she rested her head against my neck, her nose nuzzled against my skin.

"I hope our son is as brave as you. Or our daughter, I guess," she said, and I laughed.

"A son. If it's a girl, she'll be a handful. I'll have to kill every man in the world to keep them away from her," I said, and she laughed.

The doctor signaled that he was finished and said that she would probably sleep a little with the medication. He left the room, and we stayed there.

"Lie down carefully and rest. I'll be on the other side with Julian. I need to sort some things out, and I need you to get better," I said, and she nodded sleepily.

"Don't leave me alone. If I feel sick, I'll get up a little," she said worriedly, and I calmed her heart.

"I'll be right next door. If you wake up, just press the button and call, and I'll come. In the meantime, rest, my princess, and prepare yourself. The life of a queen awaits you," I said, tucking her in and kissing her lips tenderly.
