Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

RESPONSIBILITY

ERIC’s POV

I dashed into the house, jumping the stairs in a hurry to Rayne’s room. Even though Bryce had told me that he had taken care of the situation, I wasn’t completely at ease, and I knew I wouldn’t be until I saw her and confirmed to myself that she was okay.

Crossing the corridor, I stopped in my tracks on noticing the hoard of men in black suits lined up by the door. Matthew came matching toward me in hurried strides, causing me a frown.

“Sir,…” he started, but I didn’t let him finish.

“Where is my wife?” I could hear my own fear in my tone, and the intensity of my voice. Firm, and yet shaky. It momentarily surprised me how I was losing my grit at the moment. I was sweating on my forehead, I could feel it. And for a quick moment, I couldn’t help but question the feelings running inside of me. It all felt strange. I had never been this tense in my entire existence. Never been frightened by anything and that too, to the extent of having all of the wrong and strange emotions ripple through me. Searching Matthew’s eyes, the surprise in them didn’t go unnoticed by me, and I could tell that he too noticed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“She’s inside, sir. We made sure they didn’t get all the way here,” Matthew reported, and I felt the tension in my shoulders drop by a hundred folds.

“Guard the gates and the entire area,” I instructed him and without waiting for his reply, I wound the knob of Rayne’s room and strolled inside. The room was illuminated by darkness, only the blink of lights produced by the night sky penetrating through the glass, helped me see her small frame bulging up under the covers of the bed.

I ambled further inside, crossing the room and walking to her side. I turned on the table lamp and the faint yellow light radiated on her pale face. I took a sit on the spot next to her and watched her breathe calmly in her state of sleep and probably because that is all I needed, my tensed muscles slowly began to relax.

I couldn’t believe I had been on the verge of going on a mad rampage earlier because of this little being lying peacefully on the king-sized bed way bigger than her and could contain five more people of her size. Now, here I was, suddenly calm from just seeing her peaceful face.

“Hmm,” I couldn’t help but sigh and throw my head in the other direction. Someone that had both the power to drive me nuts, insane, and also calm me, all these without even trying. What was this? She was slowly having control over my emotions. If I could get this mad today, I could only wonder what I’d do if anything were to happen to her.

I turned back to her and saw a small smile break out on her lips, then she murmured something I couldn’t hear. This was funny, really laughable. Earlier, I had been so mad with fear that she was in danger, but here she was, sleeping so peacefully and having a blast in Dreamland. Did she even have any idea of what had happened earlier?

“Hmm,” I laughed at myself. She had made me worry so much tonight. But, it’s good she hadn’t witnessed any of it, I couldn’t have her feeling scared and apprehensive. She’s my tiny little wife, and it’s my responsibility to worry about her. But that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be making up for tonight’s stress.
