Chapter-17 Her anger

Riccardo's POV:

I noticed her sitting near the couch near the garden. She was having a view of the garden. Her hair was tied up in a rough bun, while the scattered strands made her look beautiful, yet her eyes told me she was not in her best mind.

I sighed, I shouldn't have lashed out on her last night. I lost control.

I stood behind her, and she didn't notice. I pocked my hand as I sighed. I observed her a few more minutes. Is she really going to be like this all day?

I asked, getting her attention, "You are not going out today?.... You don't have plans?"

I noticed her ignoring me, so maybe she was ignoring me all this time I stood behind her. I heard her sigh, and she said, "You won't let me go out either after yesterday...."

I know... I know she might think that.

I said, "You can go.... I will get nothing caging you...."

But I will see your smile letting you run and be happy.

I noticed she turned to me, I realized her angry eyes. They clearly speak the hate she has for me.

Cherish spoke something, but my eyes were fixed on her shoulder. She was wearing a thin strapped top with some night pants, her shoulder clearly had red marks. More like finger prints.

I remembered my actions, did I did that to her? when I grabbed her against the wall?

My mind hated my actions.

I looked at her face again, I didn't heard her properly but I am sure she meant nothing good for me.

I embraced her, caressing her back, I noticed surprise. I whispered guilty, "Sorry, love... I didn't wanted to hurt you...."

I noticed her shock as I met her face again, I touched the place where I burse her without my will or my consciousness.

She moved back on the couch, like she hated me. Like she hated me from depth of her heart.

Believe me, Wife... I hate myself more for this.

Whatever I do, or whatever I want... I never wanted to hurt a kind pure soul as you. Your cheerful eyes is what I crave, your free smile is what I want to see rest of my life.

I saw you once, I knew I wanted this in my life.

I got on my knees holding her hand, I promised, "I wouldn't remind myself, and train myself not to hurt you by chance..... I hate seeing you suffer...."

I grabbed her face as I said, "Just forget last night..... and don't be scared of me..... I will always cherish you, Wife..... I have nothing without you..."

Her shock was so deep on my words she just looked away.

I smiled on her innocence, I kissed her head as I said, "I never repeat mistakes.... you can trust me wife.... I am even ready to be punished..."

She face me....

She said, "I can punish you....."

I knew, her head won't come with any good thing, but I agreed. She looked down, she said, "I don't want to share bed with you anymore....."

I felt my heart getting heavy realizing all she wanted was to get away from me. I heard her, "This is your punishment...."

I whispered keeping her words, "Yes... as you say..."

But I said, "But you have to promise... never see that guy ever again....."

Cherish's POV:

I whispered on the phone, "Iris.... I don't know what to do...."
