After torturing her brothers to his satisfaction, Cole try to enter their bedroom only to find out it's locked. Worried if she tossed her blankets away and caught cold, he pick the lock and enter the bedroom carefully. It was late and the night was cold. He can see the window was still open widely and her blankets was thrown to the other side of the bed. He frowned. He picked up the blankets and cover her carefully. Then he went to the window with the intention to close it. But suddenly her sleepy voice rung to his ear.
"Don't. Let it open. I want to feel the wind." She said sleepily. Her eyes were half opened. He furrowed his brow but just let it be. Ignoring her threat during the dinner, he lay by her side before gathering her in his arm. She snuggled closely as if she didn't utter her threat. In fact, she welcomed his warmth next to her.
"It's cold at night. Why must you let the window open?" He said as he nibble against her neck. She shivers and try to wriggle away from his lip.
"I like to feel and smell the freshness that the wind brought. And the soft breeze that enters the house. It's nice to feel all that since i'm grounded at home."
"Honey,,,you know you can't go out yet."
"I know. I just don't want to miss the breezy night like this. I never thought i would miss it." He tightened his hold onto hers. Feeling guilty confining her at home but it's for the best. They stayed like that and he thought she went back to sleep when she stopped talking. He pulled up the blankets close to her neck before she push it away again. He smiled and can only shook his head.
"I'm happy. Even if it's hard for me to walk at the moment and enjoy the things that i used to do but i'm happy to have you and my brothers with me. And i really hope if one day..." She kept quite not finishing her sentence. But he wanted to know what she was thinking. He wanted to listen to her properly.
"One day what?" He asked when she no longer continue her sentence.
"I really hope if one day i'm no longer around, you and my brothers will feel happy as well."
"You know that's not going to happen." He said and his doesn't seem happy with her words.
"I know. That's why i'm happy. You and my brothers never gave up on me which is why i'm fighting to live. This toxic poison, i'll fight it until Caleb finally manage to create the antidote." She said merrily.
"When are you going to tell me everything?" He asked when they start to enjoy each other's comfort. She sighed heavily.
"It's not that i don't want to keep everything away from you. But, dear. With everything i have at the moment, my past is just like a part of my journey. Or a chapter that i read but didn't find it interesting so i forget it. But if by telling you will make you at ease, then your wish is my command." He smile.
"I want to listen." She took a long deep breathe and stare into the dark night.
"When i was small, my body was weak. My parents, they don't want to spend any money on me for medication or any treatment. They already have a healthy son and daughter so i was like an unwanted baggage for them. So, they send me away from home. At first it was my grandparent's house but they're quite old and although they treat me better than my parent, they still can't take care of me. Then, my parent hired a nanny for me. Letting me to live with a nanny. She was nice and caring. As a small kid, i trusted her. But little did i know, she put poison in my food little by little every single day. I was 13 years old when i found out i've been eating poison. I caught the nanny try to add something sneakily. I was stunned. And the nanny told me that it was the order from my parents. I end up stabbing her to death and drag her body to my parent's house. I cut off my ties with my family then and there but i demand a lump sum of money. With that money i continue on studying and met Hunter as well as Alexis. They shamelessly stuck with me and we would always get ourselves into countless of trouble. We even made a name for ourselves which you already know. We were so young and rebellious. During that time, with my weak body we still manage to cause terror to others. And it was only because i suddenly collapse while we're on a 'mission' we met Caleb who was on his run from the authorities. Hunter didn't know he's someone who escape from the mental institution. But seeing he knows about my sickness and what cause it, we decided to keep him. But he have his own terms. That's how we coincidentally save you as we needed someone for him to operate on. What we didn't know, it was his way to prove to others that he's not crazy. Thus, that's how everything else took place." She said nonchalantly.
"What about SKY Corporation?"
"That? Hurmmmm,,, It's some sort of a challenge that the three of us had back then. We kind of got tired with all the troublesome event that we created as people keep on challenging us over and over again. So, we each gave each other a challenge. Mine was to create a company that will be known all over the world. And the other two, you know about it. It wasn't easy. But as i kept adding brothers by my side, suddenly i just have everything i need. The money is never a problem for me. It was all because of Alexis. She's the one who have been keeping account on the things we done and what we got from it. Having a great friend like them, my journey is never that harsh. So despite having the toxic poison in my body, i never really care to get revenge towards my family. i just didn't expect they showed up on the day of our wedding and shamelessly asked money from your family. Thus, adding another bad name to your eyes." She couldn't help but to tease him with her last sentence.
"You never miss a chance do you?" He asked scrutinizing his eye at her. She grinned viciously.
"Of course, At that time, i felt like telling Derek to beat you up or probably give you some laxatives. Bullying me so much. It's good that i know what kind of person you are. Otherwise, i'll just bankrupt your company and leave you with nothing. Humph!!!" He pinched her cheek to covered up his awkward past. He too was ashamed with his own conduct in the past but this wife of his felt like it's a good time to take her revenge. She yelped as she giggled, snuggling herself closer at towards him.
"I'm really happy. I have you as my husband. 10 awesome brothers. 2 shameless friends. It's almost complete. But..."
"But what?" She snuggled closely and her eyes got droopy. He's not satisfied. Lately she never finished her sentence properly. Now she's doing it again. Is she purposely making him to have a sleepless night now that she stopped seducing him.
"But what?" He pressed on the matter. Harden his voice. But it just makes her close her eyes as her breathing stabilize telling him she's already fallen asleep. He was speechless. Frustrated. He almost feels like waking her up and make her finish her sentence. Does she expect him to guess what's on her mind? He didn't dare. A women's mind is just like finding a missing needle in the ocean. He might as well go to sleep as well. He was just about to fall asleep when he heard her.
"It would be nice if we can have kids as well."
