Chapter 20 - 20

When Roman opens his eyes, he smiles softly to himself. The morning had been incredible and his time with her felt like a dream come true.

He glances over at his side and sees that she was resting in his arms, her head on his chest. He felt so much joy in that moment as he smiled at the way she slept so peacefully and so beautifully. He felt so lucky to have her with him and he just couldn't stop the growing smile on his face.

She stirs in her sleep as she slowly opens her eyes. Megan smiled as soon as she saw him looking down at her so lovingly.

He chuckles to himself as he stares at her and he smiles softly. The expression on her face as she woke up is absolutely breathtaking to him as the way she smiled at him was so endearing and adorable. He couldn't help but lean forward to gently stroke her cheek with his finger. "Did you sleep well? We ended up spending a long time together in bed if you can remember."

"How can I forget?" She chuckles softly, "It was amazing."

He chuckles softly and he smiles with a twinkle in his eyes as he looks back at her. He wraps his arms around her and pulls her body against his. The way she fits so perfectly into his arms is like a miracle to him as he leans his head down slightly and he whispers softly into her ear.

"I'm glad you thought so...because I plan on doing it again and again and again."

Megan is about to answer when Roman's phone rings. She looks over at him, "I guess our honeymoon is over." She jokes.

"It would seem so..." Roman sighs softly as he nods his head. He reaches over to his phone on the side table where it sits and he picks it up. He glances at the name that is calling and he rolls his eyes. "I have to take this. It's my uncle. He's been a pain in my ass lately."

Megan laughs sitting up covering her chest, "I'll go shower enjoy your talk." 

As she gets up from the bed, he stops her by placing his hand on her shoulder. She can feel his hand is incredibly warm and his grip is firm and gentle. He leans forward and he whispers softly as he kisses her softly on her forehead.

"I will be right back and I'll order us some breakfast. You can take a shower like you said. This won't take long I promise."

Megan smiles, "It would be more like brunch but okay."

He chuckles softly as he watches her walk off to take a shower. He then walks out of the room and he picks the phone back up. He speaks softly but sternly as he looks outside over the yacht.

"What do you want uncle...You know I don't like it when you disturb me during my day. This better be important."

The older man scoffs, "You little shit, is this how you talk to me after I saved you from the Russians?"

"Uncle I owe you my life and I know that. I am forever grateful to you for saving my ass but this better be a life or death situation. I'm in my private time here and you know that's a time I do not wish to be infringed upon. Now what do you want?"

"I need your help." 

His uncle Rick said.

Roman knew better than to ask his uncle why he needed his help and there wasn't any point in refusing regardless. He sighs softly and gets slightly annoyed at the fact that he has to help when he is supposed to be on holiday.

"And what exactly do you need me to do?"

"I need you to kill someone for me kiddo." His uncle Rick says.

He stares at his phone for a few seconds before he lets out an annoyed sigh. This was a routine for him and it was like a family tradition. He speaks in a blunt tone.

"Don't call me kiddo. And what exactly are the reasons and why can't you just get someone else to do it? I'm not always gonna be available for this."

"I just need you to order one of your best hitman to do this for me...I can't do it myself, cops have been keeping their eyes on me." His uncle sighs, "Plus this Bastard is in prison. It will be abit hard."

He sighs as he realizes his uncle is in deep water. He stares outside of the yacht window as he thinks to himself. He glances down at his phone and his eyebrow quirks as he gets slightly annoyed.

"Is this an immediate request or do I have some time?"

"Marcus Johnson needs to die." His uncle coldly said.

He sighs again and he rolls his eyes slightly. He rubs his eyes with the heel of his hand a little before letting go. This Marcus Johnson was an easy task to deal with but his time was becoming more limited by the day. He spoke in a blunt tone. "I'm assuming you can't tell me why he needs to die."

"Betrayal is one thing I can't accept."

"I see." His uncle's words rang true and he knew the consequences of betrayal as if it were carved into his skin. He sighs softly and he looks outside of the window and his expression hardens. He speaks in a harsh tone with absolutely no remorse as he nods his head. "I'll take care of it. Just give me a day and I'll update you when it is done."

"Friday night. I expect it to be done by then." His uncle hangs up.

Roman sighs once again and he rolls his eyes a little while he stares at his phone's screen. The request was an easy one and he knew he could complete it with his eyes closed and one hand.

He shakes this off and he picks up his phone to make the necessary calls to get the job done. He stares outside of the window as he makes the calls and he gets a few of his men ready to complete the job.

Megan walks back to the room with a towel. She back hugs him and rests her head on his back, "I don't know why you have that look on your face but something tells me you're grumpy now and I think my hugs will make you feel better."

She can see the expression on his face completely shift the minute she wraps her arms around his body. It was like he was a completely different person as she could feel him relax in her arms and his shoulders dropped down.

He sighs softly and he leans his head back a little into her touch. He spoke in a soft tone as he was beginning to relax in her touch. "I just got some bad news and I was feeling slightly annoyed. Your hug certainly helps though."

"I won't ask what's wrong...but I hope it gets better."

He chuckles softly as she rests her head on his back. The way she was being so compassion towards him was completely adorable and he could feel his annoyance fading away. He speaks in a soft tone as he leans his head back a little more and his expression relaxes even further. "It was nothing bad dear. I just got a phone call from my uncle and he was making a request."

She chuckles, "Family can be annoying. My older brother for example is a literal headache."

"I can imagine." He chuckles with her as she jokes around. His uncle and their history was a difficult one to deal with but it was all he knew. He wraps his arms around her and pulls her close to him so that she was resting against his chest. He holds her close to him and he whispers into her ear. "Besides you...nothing else matters in my life. You are the most important thing to me."

Megan hugs him tightly, "I love you."

He wraps his arms even tighter around her as he felt her words pierce his heart. Her words of love were one of the most beautiful things he has ever heard. He kisses the top of her head and he speaks softly as he does. "I love you too dear...you have no idea how much."
