chapter- 39

Cherish's POV:

I realized Riccardo was talking me directly to the car, But... August and Jasmine will be worried sick.

I feel bad for them, I can't do anything for them, yet they care for me so much.

I heard Jasmine from behind, "Diamond!....."

Riccardo stopped, he got me on my feet as he said, "Go to the car.... it's getting late..... I will thank them on your behalf..."

August said, "Mr. Valentine... where are you taking her?...."

Riccardo turned to him, not so pleased. Riccardo said, "Home.... I appreciate you taking care of her... but we need to go back...."

August said, "You want to go?" He was looking at me, asking me this.

Jasmine said in between, "Are you crazy?... Don't you remember how she was when she got here?...."

She pulled me behind her as she said, "Mr. Valentine... she is not going tonight.... I don't know... but.... I think she should stay here few more days...." She seemed like she was declaring.

Riccardo was glaring at both of them, Jasmine whispered to me, "Didn't you notice.... what kind of stunt he pulled?.... what I will do if something goes wrong with you?.... and anyways.... don't trust him this much, and...."

I heard Riccardo, "It's none of your business... it's my wife who needs to trust me.... or what are you two fools invading for?"

I said, "Hey.... Hey... both sides..."

I stood in between them stopping them. I said, "You... don't say anything to my friends... and Gust, and Jas... don't say bad about my husband too..."

Jasmine rolled her eyes, I felt Riccardo's hand on my waist pulling me to him, he whispered in my ear, "Husband... sounds nice..."

My face turned red. Jasmine said, "We are here... ok... don't touch her like that..."

Riccardo smirked saying, "I will... Because I can...."

Jasmine was about to punch Riccardo but August grabbed her shoulders stopping her.

I said, "Stop it you all!!!"

I sighed, fixing my hair, I walked to Jasmine and August, I said, "Thanks for everything... I will back to check on the casino soon.... and.. I think I should go back, Jas...."

She sighed, She whispered, "You would be fine right...."

I nod, she touched my hair fixing them, "You sure..."

She hugged me as I said, "Yes... Jas... thanks for being part of my life...."

She pinched my cheek saying, "Stop acting too much... but I will miss you..."

I gave her a smile, I parted and went to hug August. I whispered as August hugged me back, "Gust... thank you...."

He whispered, "be ok.. or my fiancé will worry too much..."

If only Isaac treated me right, as August does.

The way back was quite silent. I kept looking out of the window as the car keeps driving, will take us few hours though.

Riccardo didn't said much, his head was resting back as he closed his eyes. He was sleeping was he that restless or he just didn't sleep.

I was busy admiring his looks, he is one in millions. He is so effortlessly beautiful.

The car stopped with a violet break, I screamed as my head bumped into the front seat. I felt hand on my chest pulling me back to the seat.

I faced Riccardo who looks too shocked, his eyes showed the surprise he got, I heard Fred, "Sorry... a dog just ran by... are you both ok?"
