CHIARA

I was quite surprised when I received a notification from Instagram saying that Ezekiel tagged me in a post.

Curious, I opened Insta to see that he posted our mirror selfie which I took in the infinity room while kissing. The caption under it read: 'MINE ❤️'

I blushed hard at that and liked it and reposted it even.

There were several comments under that but I focused on the ones from our family.

marcelo_ludovica: TMI 🤢

cyrus_The Genius_: oh my fucking god!!! I knew it!

Lili.th: OMG!!! 😍😍

Silvio as usual didn't comment anything and simply liked the picture and he also liked Lilith's comment. He is whipped for sure.

Yesterday was fun-filled and like a dream and Ezekiel's post today just made my day.

As expected, I soon received a call from Dad.

He didn't even bother with any greetings and came straight to the point. "I saw Ezekiel's post." He sounded so excited.

"Since when did you start to use Insta?"

"I don't. Lorelie does and she showed it to Jeremiah who sent the screenshot to me. All that aside, just tell me it wasn't for show."

I smiled. "No. It was real."

"Thank God. Finally." He sighed. "I am glad you both set aside your differences and made peace."

"Uh-huh. Is that all you wanted to ask?"

"Yes. You go enjoy." And he abruptly hung up the call.

I can't believe my Dad is more excited than me.

Chuckling, I set my phone aside and walked out of the room to search for my husband.

He did say he was going to workout so I walked down and went in the direction of his gym.

Entering the gym, I found him shirtless, in just a pair of grey sweatpants, a punching bag was hanging from the ceiling and he was taking out all his frustrations at it.

I watched mesmerized as his muscles rippled with every movement, his body glistening with sweat.

Licking my lips, I leaned my back against the door and watched him in fascination.

A minute later, his lips twisted up and his movements slowed. Without glancing at me, he drawled, "Enjoying the show, wife?"

"Yup. Please continue."

Chuckling, he shook his head but continued nevertheless.

"But...I am surprised that you train so hard, I don't understand why..." I trailed off.

He cut a glance at me. "I received the same training as your brothers and Cyrus."

"Wait, what? I didn't know that. But you didn't want to work for our family, then why?"

His focus was on the punching bag only and he said, "I did all that training with only one thing in my mind that I might not be the best husband in the world but at least I can keep my wife safe."
