Taming My Arrogant Husband

Chapter 84: Last words

I didn't get the chance to finish my statement as Daniel punched him repeatedly on the face.

"I will fucking kill you for touching my wife!"

"Daniel!" I tried to stop him but he was too strong and kept giving Joseph his hard fists.

"You're a motherfucker bastard!"

Thank God, two police officers came running to us, including Andrew, and stopped him from killing

Joseph in front of me.

I immediately grabbed his arm and hugged him on his waist just to calm him. I feel his raising

heartbeats when I put my face on his chest. And a few seconds later, I felt his hands wrapped around

me. His breathing became steady and I felt his body relaxed from my hold.

"Officer, please bring that fucking idiot into his room." I heard Andrew command the two men who are

holding the man who is now bleeding.

"And who are you?"

I peeked my head over Daniel's shoulder and saw Joseph glaring at Andrew. But Andrew just gave him

a devilish laugh before asking him back.

"Who am I? Don't you know who am I?"

Joseph shook his head.

"Well, let me introduce myself to you!" He walked towards him and held him on his collar before giving

him two strong punches on his stomach. "I am your conscience, your grim reaper and your angel of

death, you fucking idiot!"

"Hey, that's enough! Men, put him in his room!" Officer Romano interrupted the show and motioned to

his men to pulled Joseph away from Andrew.

"Do you know now who I am, idiot?"

But Joseph only showed his middle finger and smirked at him.

"You fucking bastard---"

"Andrew!" Daniel stopped him when he was about to chase after Joseph.

"Idiot!"

Even though I am shaking with rage inside, I still couldn't help but smile with Andrew's reaction.

"What did you say?" I straightened my seat when I heard what Daniel had said about De Lucca's

company.

We are in a coffee shop near the police station. He pulled me here earlier and ordered one of my

favorite chocolate cake.

"I also bought their company and all their assets in Italy."

"Why?" that's the only question I could form inside my head as I couldn't believe he did those things.

"So you don't have to worry about him using their money to manipulate the truth again."

"But what will you do to their assets? You have a company left in LA, but you bought my Dad's

company and now you also have De Luccas'."

"Well, I have a better plan for them, sweetheart. I am planning to merge the two companies and let your

brother manage them when he graduated from his studies."

My spoon dropped on my plate as I looked at him straight in the eye.

"Why are you doing this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you doing all this? You bought Dad's company, you paid off his debts in different banks, you

took De Lucca's assets and now you're helping in my case with Joseph. Why? Why are you doing all

these things, Daniel?"

"Because I promised your father that I will help you."

"And why did you have to make a promise?"

"Is it still not clear? I love you." He held my hand over the table. "And I told you I will stay by your side

until I hear you say the same words to me."

"Tss!" I gave him a sarcastic smile before shaking my head and took my hand off from his hold. "I All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

already told you those words, remember? But you just pushed me and you told me to never say those

words again because I don't really know what's the real meaning of it."

"I'm sorry, sweetheart. I was just jealous." He closed his eyes and lowered his head.

"Jealous?" I repeat his word, confused.

"I was jealous of him. I thought you loved him and still in love with him. And the real reason why you

married me was because you wanted him to become jealous and then after our contract, you will come

back to his arms again."

"Forgodsake, Daniel---"

"I know, I was wrong and I'm sorry. I didn't listen to you----"

"No! It's not that you didn't listen, but you never let me explain!"

"Yeah, I know that. I'm sorry." He said, his eyes pleading. "I want to fix these things between us. Marry

me." He took my hand again. "Marry me again, Sophia, and this time I will be your husband and we will

start together and get over these things."

"But we have nothing to start over, Daniel." I pulled my hand again. "Because we never had things to

start over. There was never an us then and until now, there is still nothing between us."

"But I love you---"

"I know, but sometimes love or being in love is not enough to make a relationship work. And a

relationship is not only surrounded by love, it requires care, respect, time, understanding, patience and

trust towards your partner." I gave him a sad smile. "But in our case, we only have love and the rest are

nowhere to be found."

"But we can start with this love together, right?"

"We can't, Daniel!"

"Why? I thought you love me."

I gulped before taking a deep breath.

"Yes, I love you, but that doesn't mean that I can come with you, I can live together with you. We both

have things to do than being together. I have to start over on my own, Daniel."

"Then I will help you."

"No, I have to do it alone, on my own. If everything went okay, I will be the one to run after you. But for

now, let's start together separately. I can't be with you unless I already found myself again or when I am

whole again."

"But Sophia---"

"Thank you for this day and for the cake. I have to go home, I'm sure Dad is waiting for me."

"I'll go with you. I also want to see him."

I just nodded and got up from my seat.

I didn't hear anything from him when we are in our way home. He remained quiet until we reached our

house.

But we were both shocked when we saw Angie run towards the gate holding a bag and some of my

father's things.

"Angie, where are you going and why do you have Dad's stuff?" I run to her immediately after getting

out of the car.

She was shocked to see me and suddenly tears began to flow from her eyes.

"Hey, why are you crying? What happened? Where is Mom?" I asked her in confusion. Goosebumps

started to creep all over my body but I tried to calm myself.

"H-He... I-I mean your Dad..."

"Why, what happened to him?" I held both of her shoulders.

"We took him to the hospital an hour after you left."

"Oh, my God!"

"Let's go!" I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around when Daniel took my hand. "Let's go to the

hospital."

I nodded at him and he opened the passenger side.

"Angie, let's go!" He also opened the back seat for her before rushing to the driver's seat.

I closed my eyes and uttered a silent prayer as tears flowed down my cheeks like a river of pain and

agony.

Why does it have to be like this? Why do we suffer from these things?

I felt a hand on my knee and when I opened my eyes, I saw Daniel staring at me before turning his

eyes to the road.

"Everything will be fine."

I just nodded and leaned my head back and closed my eyes again.

................................................

Everything went so fast because the next moment I know, we were all gathered in front of my father's

bed as he spoke his last words for the family.

"B-Belle. D-Daniel."

I rushed to his side and held his hand. My face is a mess, my eyes and nose are swollen because of

non-stop crying since I heard the news from Angie.

"Daddy."

I closed my eyes and let him dry my tears.

"L-Look at m-me, my Belle."

I opened my eyes and looked straight into his eyes. He also held my hand and gave me a sad smile.

"D-Don't cry, my baby. T-This is not a goodbye. I w-will always w-watch you from a-above. I love you,

my Belle."

"I love you too, Dad..." I brought his cold and pale hand to my face and I couldn't help the heavy sobs

that I have been holding since we were on our way here.

"D-Daniel..."
