scarlet's pov:

"mommy i got an A on my test " Noah screamed as soon as he saw me enter the house , i walked into the living room and in a second i was tackled by two small hands , i looked down and saw a smiling Noah looking at me with the biggest smile ever

"oh my, our Noah is so smart " i kneeled down and kissed him on both cheeks

"yes Noah is smart just like daddy " Noah said with a cute smirk as he pulled back and ran towards the table where he was sitting before as he solved some puzzles with a lot of snacks beside him , i laughed at his cheeky answer and asked him where kristian was , after talking a bit more with him i left him playing with his puzzles and went to Kristian's office , i found him staring at his laptop with a frown as he talked at the phone in French , i walked in with him even noticing and walked behind him , i lifted my hands and gently massaged hi shoulder , he tensed up as he turned around and gave me a tired smile , i smiled back at him and continued to massage his tense shoulders , i felt him relax a bit and in a couple of minutes he said goodbye at the phone and throwed it at the table , his hand that was holding his phone felt warm above my cold hand

"you're hands are cold again ! you need to wear more clothes when you leave the house love " kristian said as he pulled me to sit on his lap , i wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed his frowning eyes gently

"i am fine , i was inside ben's apartment the whole day and he had the heater on , and i was wearing a jacket above my sweatshirt when I left" kristian held my hands in his and started rubbing them in his

" i will ask mateo about it ! it's defiantly not healthy " i let out a sigh as i pulled my hands away and pulled his face up so i can see his eyes

"you're being over protective again , i am fine , mateo is already having me take tests every three weeks , you don't have to worry , and don't think i didn't notice the car that was following me home , you sent for more bodyguards "

"it's just to be extra careful love "

"you're being ridicules kristian , i already had three bodyguards with me " i said with a frown as i stood up from his lap and stared at him as he looked sternly at me

"three aren't enough scarlet , that person was still able to get you with all the bodyguards , so no i am not being ridicules scarlet i am being safe "

"it was only a slip of paper kristian " with a bang Kristian's chair was thrown back as he stood up with an angry face he stepped towards me and almost screamed

"IT WASN'T A FUCKING SLIP OF PAPER SCARLET , IT WAS A THREAT ..." my body tensed up as i heard kristian screaming almost in pain

"kristian. . ." i whispered , as i took a step closer to him , my right hand reaching for his cheek trying to calm him down , he took a step back leaving my hand hanging in the air

"don't , don't try to calm me down scarlet , you can't do this every time , you're just careless...and I , I don't know what I would do if something happens to you ..." his voice was so much calmer now , the anger was gone but a trace of pain was in his eyes as his voice quivered , he dropped his head and leaned on the desk two steps away from me , i took a deep breath and towards him i gently hugged his head into my shoulder and caressed his tousled hair , i felt his breath hitch as he cuddled me tighter with his hands wrapped on my waist

"i have lost so much scarlet , i just can't lose anyone else , just the thought of you being hurt makes me feel like dying , so please . . . just. . ." his last words turned into whispers as he tried to hug me even closer , i hugged him back feeling the guilt build in me , i wished i can change a lot of things , but i can't .

"baby, i am not going anywhere , i am staying here , with you and with Noah , i will always be here no matter what , okay ?" i whispered at him as i pulled his face of my shoulder and wiped the tears stains that was left on his cheeks with the tip of my fingers , i smiled at him and finally he smiled back

"okay??"

"okay " he finally said as he breathed out a sigh

"now , how about we sit and talk ? and eat , i am starving " kristian nodded his head with a laugh

"it's 8 o'clock , you didn't eat dinner yet ?" i asked him as we walked outside the office hand in hand

"no i wanted to eat it with you " kristian said as he pulled me by the hand and walked to the kitchen "what about you ?"

"i wanted to eat it with you too , dinner tastes so much better with you beside me " i said with a blush , as I sat on the chair where kristian was already sitting beside me and on the table was two plates only

" what about Noah ?" i asked kristian as i stood up , he pulled me back down on the chair

"he already ate with mateo , he took him out for pizza , to celebrate his first test " kristian said with the gentlest smile ever

" he looked really happy about it , i am so glad he is enjoying it "

"it's all thanks to you . . . thank you for convincing him love " i blushed at his gentle words and his gentle hand that was above mine , i interlocked our fingers and smiled

"what are you thanking me for ? Noah is my baby i would do anything for him "

"I know , come on let's eat i can almost hear you're stomach growling " I smacked kristian on his hand as I ignored him and diged into the amazing meal in front of me

our dinner was simple and quiet , giving us sometime to talk about our day , i told kristian about what happened at ben's place , he was pissed but happy to know that ben reacted that way , we talked about my work and about my next concert that is happening in two days where i will be singing in front of a big audience and how nervous i was , and then we talked about our wedding which ended up from a 10 people party to at least a 200-300 people , i wasn't happy about it , but i couldn't say no , kristian was already giving up on the honeymoon because of my work and because of Noah ... so the dinner that should have ended in 15 minutes ended up dragging until i almost feel asleep on the table in the kitchen , Noah came and said goodbye before i dragged my half asleep ass to our bedroom , i changed into a one off kristian hoodies and jumped into the warmth of our bed , i snuggled closer into Kristian's pillow hugging it so i can be closer to his smell , i could hear the shower working in the background and kristian calling my name but i was already dozing off into dreamland

"goodnight my love " i heard a whisper as two strong warm hands pulled me and turned me around , i laid my head into Kristian's naked chest and there i found the most peaceful calming place ...

my safe home

Kristian's pov :

"you better have good fucking reason for waking me up at 3 am Adam?" i said with a curse as i slowly closed the bedroom door where scarlet was in deep sleep

"Man you wouldn't believe what i just found out ?" i turned on the light of the office and walked in ti set behind my desk , i could hear a lot of noise around Adam which was already giving me a headache

"it's better be good , or i promise you i will fly to Italy to kill you " i took out a cigarette from the drawer and took a long drag

" i found out why Whitney is in new York " my whole body tensed up as i heard her name

"speak !"

"oh uhm. . . so i am gonna start from the beginning , the Romano family has been annihilated as we planned , the last member was killed three hours ago , so the mission was accomplished boss "

the tension that had controlled my body a minute ago ,now was gone , a big smile spread on my face as i laughed out loud

"good news indeed , great job man " i said as i stood up and walked towards the alcohol table to pour myself a drink

"thank you bro , it's all thanks to you and mateo ,finally after 4 years of planning we were able to wipe them out , but... "

"but what?" i asked nervously , i had a bad feeling and i really don't want more trouble on my plate

" Whitney ran away to America long before the plan started , she took a big amount of many from the Romano's safe with her , but that's not all . . . " Adam stopped talking as everything around him went quite , i felt my heart beat faster as my hand tightened around the glass in my hand

"what else Adam ?"

"she took Seven . . . seven is working with her " the cup that was in my hand shattered at once as i heard the name seven

"Seven ?" i asked again in a whisper

"bro i know what you're thinking but don't worry we have many men who are stronger than him now . . . "

"that's a lie and you know it "

"kristian i am not lying , my men can take care of him when he shows up , seven is already injured thanks to you , killing him won't be as hard as it was , and right now he is alone , he doesn't have any backup with him , trust me bro i got this . . ."

i took a deep breath calming myself down as i heard Adam's words , he was right and i knew it , i was just being paranoid

" alright , i trust you . . . anyhow when are you coming back ? i need my groomsman with me at my wedding " i hard a loud laugh at the other side of the phone

"i will be back as soon as i clean up here , but these idiot won't stop celebrating "

"leave them be , they deserve it , did we lose anyone at our side ?" I asked the one question i always dreaded the most

"nope everyone is safe , not one injury thanks to you're planning " i let out a sigh of relief

"good , make sure to award them generously they deserve it "

"who is getting an award ? " I heard and angelic voice coming from behind me , i turned around to see scarlet standing at the door with a sleepy look on her face and her bare feet , i felt the my hunger for her grow as i looked at her rosy cheeks and her bare feet

"talk to you later " i said to Adam as i hanged up and walked towards scarlet

"why are you up my love ?" i asked gently as smoothed her messy hair

"i heard you leave but i thought you will come back , but when you didn't i got worried , is everything okay ? who was on the phone ?" she asked me while yawning , i felt bad for waking her up , but the more she moved and talked the more i knew that she wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon , gently i wrapped my hands around her and lifted her up , i felt her wrap her hands around my neck as i walked towards our room

"that was Adam , and it's nothing important , i will tell you about it tomorrow , more importantly . . . all of a sudden i feel really , really hungry " i whispered in her ear as i went inside the room and closed the door with my leg

" you ! are you serious ? it's already 4 am we need to sleep " she said with a blush as i gently laid her on the bed and climbed up to straddle her , with my hands holding her hands above her head

"working on making you pregnant is more important than sleeping my love " i said with a smirk as i kissed the tip of her nose working my way down to her lips , cheeks , eyes

' she used my shampoo again ' i though with a smirk as i smelled her coconut fragrance that was already engulfing me , her touch was already my addiction , an addiction that i never want to treat

she was mine and i loved it

"mine to love " i whispered as she moaned when i bitted her neck

"mine to have " i whispered again sending a shiver down her spin as i my tongue traced her earlobe

"mine to keep " another moan escaped her sexy lips as my finger tips traced her thighs under the hoodie

"mine to protect "

"all yours " she whispered
