His groaning voice resonated in the room completely leaving Niall and Isabella dumbfounded, upon the 'cool' reaction of their master.
"Renna. Renna…O' Renna. I told you she WAS my wife and now she is dead. Died six years ago."
Ronan's low voice turned into a whirlpool of numerous emotions, he sounded harsh as eager to forget about his dead wife_ who according to him might be sleeping somewhere down the cliff under multiple layers of mud.
His voice held a desire, a dire need to have Renna's company as if he was pleading to her for stay. Ronan Ross emphasized the word 'was' as to make sure that Renna Amaryllis could comprehend that his wife was dead and now only Renna was in his life.
"Do not you understand it is only YOU now...in my life."
Ronan Ross stepped closer, making an eye contact with Renna and again he put emphasis on the word 'you', as to assure the abducted lady regarding his so called dying love!
"So...ughh!"
Renna wanted to unleash her anger on him, more likely she desired to smack his head or punch his smirking face, to snatch the grin which he had worn proudly and arrogantly.
She stood up a little as to roar at him but as soon as her foot touched the marbled floor, she hissed and the mighty lord immediately reacted and grabbed her leg (normal leg) and placed the foot on his jeans!
'What the fuck!'
Niall and Isabella both might have said those same words in unison, muttering under breath.
'Shit! Our neat freak master placed her injured foot...blood covered foot...on his clothes! How the fuck it happened? Ugh! What my eyes are seeing?'
Both of them could not believe in the 'rare and unbelievable' sight as the cold, and ruthless master had never been soft or merciful enough to anyone_ let alone a woman! Thus, it was hard to swallow.
"Be careful, honey!"
Ronan's soft and concerned voice stirred a turmoil in Renna's heart as if the lady had actually felt how genuinely Ronan Ross had fallen in love with her. The master was crouched down with one knee serving as a stand for Renna's foot, his eyes had turned serenely gorgeous as Renna could see the flickering desire to be loved in his grey eyes.
"Is this why…"
Renna's voice was filled with grief, some unknown sadness was in her tone which soon turned into a whisper as she did not rebel against his caring act.
"Is this why you brought me here? Is this the reason why you kidnapped me because my face has resemblance to your wife?"
Her expressions held pain and some unpleasant feelings which had accompanied the earlier six years old pain.
Maybe she was unhappy that Ronan Ross took a liking towards Renna Amaryllis_ a stranger woman and totally forgot his dead wife. Then something unexpected happened after she saw that Ronan Ross had never let Amaris fade from his life_ and that was what made her sad, more likely guilty that because of her Ronan had also suffered these years.
A shock accompanied Ronan's expressions, of course he thought that Renna might accept and confess the truth that she approached him with an ulterior motive. But he did not expect her to turn the whole damn game like that, although he could sense some genuineness in her words, no one could fake the gestures of pain that realistically.
"What!?"
"Eh? No...haha...no, no. Absolutely not."
He was astonished but soon composed himself, although could not hide is confused expressions. His soft awkward giggle stirred a confusion in Renna's mind too that which aspect of his personality was the real one!
Ronan turned around to face Isabella and Niall, his gesture of a nod was actually a signal for Isabella to treat Renna's wound.
"It is definitely not as you are assuming, Miss Renna."
Isabella came into senses, hurriedly walked upto her and placed the first aid box on the floor. She needed to begin her task as soon as possible before her master got angry, or Renna could provoke him into doing something insane.
The mafia king stood up and stepped backwards to give Isabella space to treat her wound, while Renna did not rebelled against the idea after all she also wanted to treat her foot before the lady could lose any more blood and faint once again.
"I did not bring you here jus because I thought you had resemblance to my beloved dead wife. It is just that you...you set up my heart on fire that day when I met you in the flower shop,"
Ronan Ross began to spill the beans truthfully, he explained the every possible reason regarding 'Why did he kidnap Renna?'
Althought it was not an abduction rather Renna herself provided him such circumstances that Ronan Ross had to kidnap her either way or the other.
"You might not believe it Renna, at first I thought you were Amaris and I grew suspicious of you but soon realized that you...you are just you."
Ronan turned his back towards her and walked up to the photograph, his fingers touched Amaris' smiling face hinting grief in his own eyes.
"So you do realize that I am not your wife then why do not set me free, uh?"
Renna hissed at Isabella's touch and the alcoholic swab while it did not lower her anger. Although he wanted Ronan Ross to get the whole idea the particular way, he already had perceived.
A lopsided grin appeared on his handsome face, though Renna's feeble scream had clenched his heart which had never happened before. No woman had the capacity to steal his heart or to set his mind on a restless battle!

Renna: I'm leaving this place. Step aside now, you've known that I'm not useful to you now.
Before she could open the door, Ronan threw a dagger at her with a certain aim.
