Chapter Seven

    Liam Rodrigues

     He drove away from her house clouded with her thoughts. He was sure. She belonged to him, the pink diamond in her ring finger was proof of it now. He would not hesitate to spill blood for her if it required. He didn't bother about it. She didn't reply to his three words to him. All he wanted her loyalty, soul, and love. He already had her in his arms, he smiled at the thought. She wasn't any stuff or thing for him. She was his life. Suddenly, His phone pinged in his pocket, breaking the chain of his thoughts. He halted his car. He fished it out. Danil threw a party today. Kairo asked him to come as soon as possible. In fact, the three brothers never had enjoyed any party without each other. 

   " Twenty minutes. " He typed quickly and sent. He started the engine instantly. 

    It was one of his night clubs in Goa. He pulled over the car. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply thinking about Rose. He wanted her at any cost. He didn't demand. He always took what belonged to him by hook or by crook. 

   Being beautiful wasn't enough. She has killer chocolate brown eyes. She can seduce anyone with her gaze. She's mine, only mine, he said it under his breath with a smile. 

    He paced inside the club. All were greeting him and bowing his head to his ruthless boss who was in love now. There were scare in everyone's eyes from him. 

    " How lucky we are! " Danil exclaimed and smirked.

    He raised his eyebrow. His hands were in his pocket. His gaze sweeping across the club hall. He beckoned the bartender for his drink. 

   " Don't tell me. You haven't invited your girl." Kairo came from behind and put his arm around his shoulder. 

   " We are dying to see her. Who stole the heart of our brother. " Danil smirked. 

    " Did she like the ring? " Kairo asked like a little excited boy. 

    He nodded. He picked the glass from the tray. He took a long swig from his glass. He believed in action rather than beating about the bush. 

    He studied his brother Danil for a second, " What compelled you to be a nice bastard." He smiled. 

    He knew his brothers and the reason for any sudden action or act done by them. 

   " So you know." Danil smiled.

   " I wanna hear it from you." he darted his gaze on the people, on the dance floor. 

    " Fuck! You're not in love. Only love can compel you to do so." Kairo frowned. 

    " It is actually.. " Danil smiled. 

    " Fuck! You're blushing like a teenage girl." Kairo chuckled. 

    " Screw you! Who was getting excited like a toddler to know, did sister in law like the ring. " Danil frowned, " Her parents want me to establish my own business." 

    " Later, they'd ask you to give up your family. " He snapped. 

   Danil and Kairo gave him wide eyes look, " Fuck! " Danil cursed. 

   " Are you really going to leave us, Dan? " Kairo asked, wrapping him in his muscular arms. His smirk was gone and overpowered by grimace and sadness. 

    " Hell, no." Danil retorted and patted his back. 

    Kairo hugged his both brothers, " I swear, if your wives tried to break our brotherhood. I'll shoot your girls. If they'll not take you away from me. I'll be a good brother-in-law, I promise. " Kairo said expressionless. 

     Both laughed at him. 

    " I'm hell serious. " Kairo was looking hurt. 

    " I know. " He smiled and ruffled his hair as he was still a kid for him. 

    Danil took out his phone out of the pocket and stared, " Brothers! Our parents wanna talk to us." Danil said. 

  He heaved a sigh at the mention of his parents, " Let's go home. " He said. 

      He quickly showered and walked in his office. He got knocked on the door. 

    " Come in. " He said. 

    Paul stood five feet away from him. His eyes were fixed on the ground, " We've an intruder." He said. 

   He smiled as he loved to beat the hell out of the enemies. He stood up. He ambled toward the dungeon. 

   " He came as a tourist here. I found him in your office, looking in his files. " Paul said. 

    " Did he say anything? " He asked walking. 

    " No sir, his driving licence and other information in his wallet is fake. " 

  He stood in the interrogation room. Scared man got up on his feet. He started to punch in his guts. He beat him until the man fell on the ground unconscious. 

    " I thought she had changed you. I guess I was wrong. " Danil said from behind. 

     He snorted, " I want all the information. If he refused. I'd like to wash my hands again. Until, give him the taste of our men's hand. " He said. 

    " Yes, sir. " Paul bowed. 

   He paced toward the door where Danil was leaning on the door. 

    " I'm still waiting, bro." Danil asked, walking along with him.

  " Love is supposed to fill your life with happiness, not with any fucking rules. You change with your own desire. My priority is to keep her happy and safe. She has nothing to do with my business. " he said humorless. 

   " What's about the dangers in this life? " Danil asked. 

   " Are you doubting my capability? " He said. 

    " No! not at all. I'm just........" Danil paused, "Mom and dad are waiting. " 

    "Sure." His jaw tightened. 

    When they reached the living room. Kairo was already speaking to them. 

    " Brothers! " he craned his head from the laptop screen. They sat next to him. 

   " Hello, Is everything alright? " He said coldly. 

   " How have you been, son? " His father smiled. 

   " What are you hiding, Liam? " His stepmother asked. Although she was happy seeing her sons together as always. 

    He narrowed his eyes at Kairo, " I believe, Kairo has already filled you with the information. " He said, with sarcasm, glaring at Kairo. 

    " I didn't do anything." Kairo shook his head and tried to be innocent. 

    Someone cleared his throat.

        " Dad. " He said. 

    " I want my sons home back." He declared. 

    " Are you bringing her home to meet us? " Mrs. Rodrigues asked hopefully. 

   He looked at her to his father, " Yes, Mrs. Rodrigues. " He said. 

    Her smile ran away from her lips. She always asked him to address her with ' mother' . He couldn't speak this word from his mouth. 

    " Mother! She's your mother. I hope we'll set a good example of a happy family to our new family member. If your ring is gleaming in her hand. " His father frowned. He felt the taunt in his words. 

 He glared at Danil now and back to his father, " Sure dad. " he said, " I've a conference at the office. I'll see you soon. " 

    " It's night, son. " His mother said. 

    " Yeah! it's urgent. " he said. 

    " Say it properly and you can go to attend your meeting, son. " His father said.

    " Good night Dad and um, mother. " He said and rushed out of the house. 

    He captured the sight of her smile before leaving the room. 

    " Sir! " Paul said. There was an alarming look on his features. 

    " What's wrong?" he asked as he ordered him to fill him with only news that related to Rose at this time of night. 

    " Sir! Mrs. Pinto expelled Ms. Rose from her house. " Paul said. 

   It boiled his blood. He clenched his hands in a fist. Without any delay, He rushed toward his car and climbed in. Abruptly, the passenger side's door opened and Danil stepped in and Kairo climbed behind.

   " What the heck are you doing here? " He seethed. 

  " We heard you and Paul." Kairo said. 

  " She needs you. Don't waste time brother. " Danil said. 

    He hit the gas and rushed toward her. There was dead silence in the car. He loved the unity of this brotherhood. He wanted to shoot who dared to do this. He wanted to be around her first. 

   He reached there and got out of the car, not bothering to close the door of the car behind him. He got her glance. She was on the bench with her friends. Their eyes were closed. She was sitting between them and her friends were hugging her. He was glad. She had such friends who loved her and were with her at this time. Two girls were a big oaf but they didn't leave her alone to suffer. Her head was resting on her sister's shoulder. 

   " Rose. " He whispered, towering over them. 

   Ana opened her eyes. " Shh. " Ana shushed, " She's sleeping. I'm glad you came." 

  He nodded and asked her to stand up. He picked her up in his arms immediately.

  " What what? " Isha woke up murmuring.

  " We're here to take her. " Kairo replied.

  " Who are you? " Isha asked, making a face.

  " Shh.. you'll wake her up. I don't want her to wake up to cry more. " Ana frowned

   He looked down at her face. Her nose was red and her eyes were swollen, " Did anyone hurt her physically. " he outraged but controlled his voice from rising.

   "No, We will explain later." Isha whispered.

   " What's your mean by later? " Danil frowned. 

   " She ain't the only one homeless. " Ana shrugged. 

   " Enough! Get in the car with Kairo and Dan. " He ordained them. 

   He himself carried her in the second car. He put her head in his lap and held her hand. Danny pulled over the car in front of his mansion. He carefully picked her up. He didn't wants to disturb her in her sleeping hour. He carried her in the house. 

 They four were whispering standing in the hallway. 

     " I'll show you your room." Danil said.

     " That's your room that way." Kairo said.

    " You both can sleep in the Kairo room tonight. Morning, staff will clean the guest room for you. " He said. 

   " We are sharing a room, brother. " Kairo mocked. 

    " She's sleeping with us. " Isha said.

    Rose stirred in his arms. All went silent, " She's sleeping in my room." He said slowly, carrying her toward his room. 

     " But you're not married yet. " Danil said.

     " Don't worry. It's not the first time. " Isha said, waving her one hand in the air.

     " Fuck! " Kairo smirked.

    He ignored them and strode toward his room. He laid her on the bed. He tugged his T-shirt over his head and laid beside her. He securely wrapped his arm around her, inhaling her scent. He closed his eyes. He wanted her with him as she was in his arms like forever. He instantly fell asleep.
