"It's better I get killed than to leave my life in this estate where I am not allowed to do anything "she said and Eduardo held her chin , raising her pretty face to meet his.
"You look so beautiful until you open this sharp mouth of yours ..."he said as their eyes met.
"I am mad at you Camilla, I am not a sweet guy. There is nothing sweet about me, you should know that by now . I promise our lives would be less complicated if you abide by the rules "he said and she looked away.
"I just wanna go "she said and he let go off her .
" Why do you enjoy getting on my nerves? First you decided not to satisfy me as my wife and now you want to leave "he said and she moved away from him.
"I am not letting you go Piccolina { little one } " he said as her heart beat crazily against her chest.
She watched in awe as he brought out a pocket knife and took off the bullet. Blood gushed out of the injury.
"Are you okay ? "she asked as he dressed the wound himself.
"Very fine "he said and she walked over to him and took the first aid box.
"I'll do it my...."he trailed and she applied force on the injury.
Eduardo winced in hurt as he stared at her , watching her dress the injury quietly.
"Where did you learn to do this ?" he asked while staring at how beautiful she looked in a pink nightwear that complimented her skin .
"My Dad "she said and he didn't asked further questions.
"Stop staring at me "she said as she noticed his eyes on her roaming shamelessly.
"I have the licence to stare "he said and she raised her eyebrows .
"Eddy ..."she trailed wondering what the man was up to.
"You're mine "he said and she sucked under her breath.
Do you derive joy in pissing me off Camilla? "he asked and she stared at him with hurt in her eyes.
"I don't feel safe anymore after what I just saw Eduardo " she said and he stood up from the bed.
"You don't feel safe because you don't listen . If you had listened to me and followed my orders we won't be having this conversation in the first place "he busted angrily.
"So it's my fault? Eduardo I am not a stubborn person ..."she said as her voice broke down at the edge .
"I should be the judge of that and not you, and so far the woman I am married to is the most stubborn woman to have ever existed the face of the Earth! "he said and she stared at him in disbelief.
"You have no idea how hard I am trying to hold myself from punishing you . Do you have the slightest idea the things I do to all those people who have disappointed me in the past? They don't live to tell the story "he said and her heart beat crazily against her chest.
"Eduardo this business is way too dirty ,I don't want to imagine myself getting used to this , that girl was too young ...I feel so bad after everything that has happened tonight. I am so sorry but I don't think I want to even remain in this marriage with a man who gets his source of income from such means "she said as her voice broke at the edge .
Eduardo took two steps backwards as his eyes darkened in anger. He had never felt more disrespected his entire life. The way she looked at him In the eyes reminded him of his step brother Leonardo.
The man was so stubborn and would cross all odds to do what is right. Being married to Camilla felt like married Leonardo in female version .
"Nobody here chose this life, in this life we come and we go Camilla. We will all die one day so why waste it! " he raised his voice.
"I am not going to let you cry your way out of this, stay away from the business! "he busted angrily.
"At least listen to me please "she said softly and his eyes moved over to her eyes that were now swollen from crying.
"You look worn out, I would have pulled a trigger on the man who hurt you. It's a good thing Ignacio wiped him off. I don't appreciate people crossing their boundaries "he said and she sat down as his eyes moved over to the wound on get lap.
"That would take a while to heal properly "he said as his hand touched the area she sucked under her breath.
"Does it hurt? "he asked and her heart beat crazily against her chest as she tried not to blush.
"Why is your face suddenly so red? " he asked and she opened then closed her mouth.
"Stop inspecting my laps you are not a doctor "she said and Eduardo chuckled.
"What do I do with this stubborn woman! " he muttered under his breath.
"We would be attending the De Luca's ball tomorrow " he said and she raised her eyebrows.
"Eddy can I just stay at home please, it didn't end well the last time you took me with you. I ended up causing trouble " she said and he sat next to her.
"What? "she asked and he sighed softly.
"Maybe I'm being too hard on you too. "he trailed and she smiled.
"Thank God you know "she said and they both laughed.
"That doesn't mean I appreciate your defiance "he said and she frowned.
"See you are being hard on me again "she said and he chuckled.
"You look good when you are not breathing fire you know "she said and he bit his lower lip.
"You say it like I am a dragon breathing fire "he said and she frowned.
"Have you seen your face when you are angry? "She asked and Eduardo fell quiet .
"You look very beautiful when you smile, it reaches your eyes, and the spark can be very overwhelming "he said and she chuckled.
That the way you walked into the hearts of your numerous Ex's?" She asked teasingly and he laughed.
"I did not walk in their hearts, we knew exactly what we wanted from each other. Besides I don't date " Eduardo said and she raised her eyebrows.
"I don't want to think about the number of women that have graced your need Eduardo "she said in annoyance.
"You said you won't be performing your duties to me as a wife, why do you sound annoyed "he asked and she looked away.
"I am not annoyed, it's non of my business whom you decide to flirt around with "she said and lay properly on the bed.
"Okay "he said she sat up Immediately.
"Okay? What do you mean by okay "she said and he stared at her in amusement.
"You just said okay because you have plans of cheating. I can see it in your eyes "she said and Eduardo held in the urge to laugh.
"You can see the plans in my eyes? Since when did you turn into a detective "he asked and she threw the pillow at him as he chuckled in amusement.
"You are my husband don't even think of sharing your body with the likes of Miranda! "she said and Eduardo pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What exactly do you want , I am your husband it's not like you have any competition "he said and she started at him speechlessly.
"Get on the bed I miss Mr Snuggles " she said pouting cutely.
"Who the hell is Mr Snuggles Camilla? "he asked frowning and she laughed.
"Are you jealous of Mr Snuggles? "She asked and Eduardo narrowed his eyes on her.
"You better tell me who he is , before I find him myself, and murder him "Eduardo said and she laughed.
"Murder my teddy? "She asked as she laughed.
"Goodnight "he said and lay to sleep while Camilla laughed.
" Hahahaha "she laughed.
" Camilla goodnight "he said and she hugged him from behind.
"What are you doing? "he asked and she laughed harder.
"Do you still want to murder Mr Snuggles? "she asked and Eduardo pinched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.
This is what happens when you marry a crazy woman.

The Next morning Eduardo walked out of his room clad in black well ironed formal shirt and pants which he paired with Grey colored blazers, and black Italian shoes. He looked handsome and professional as he made his way towards the breakfast table, Camilla stared in surprise as he sat down.
"Good morning Mila "he said and she raised her eyebrows.
"Good morning Eddy, I had no idea you have breakfast at home " she said and the maids looked like they would faint from shock.
Did the wife of the Capobranco just refer to him with a pet name, that too in front of everyone.
"I am a normal human being ,just like everyone else I have breakfast "he said and she stared at him.
"And you let me eat alone all this while "she said, and Eduardo didn't know what to say to that.
"Good morning Capobranco "
"Good morning Camilla "Ignacio said as he joined them.
Eduardo gave a nod while Camilla didn't say anything, Ignacio smirked knowing fully well that the woman was still very much annoyed with him.
"Good morning Capobranco, Camilla " Quinton said as he sat next to them .
"Hey Quinton "she said with a smile .
"I missed you, where have you been?"She asked and Quinton opened and closed his mouth like a fish. Was this woman trying to get him killed?
