Mafia Vengeance by KATHLEEN HAYAT (good books for 8th graders TXT) 📖

But does she have it in her to forgive him yet. The answer is no. She can't. She knew he faced a lot of hardships, and he wasn't evil, but he was made into one. But what was her fault in all this. She was innocent then why she got hurt. Why his twisted revenge was related to her. That was still unanswered.

On the other hand she does feel sad for him. The things he faced was too much for anyone to tolerate. Her heart was mourning in pain, his pain. Her dominant part wanted to hug him and sooth him. But that little part of her heart wasn't letting her to do it. If she forgave him now, she'll fell in her own eyes.

She was startled out her thoughts when Andrew opened the buttons of his shirt. Instantly her mind drove into panic mode. She tried to stand, but his hold was firm. He removed his shirt from left side make it bare for the eyes.

Her eyes instantly landed on her name, engraved on his skin. Andrew held her right hand and placed it on her name just above his heart. He then spoke huskily.

"Can you feel how it's beating. This thing never knows how to beat. I didn't even know it was there until you came. That was the first time I felt it. And when ever you are near me it beats. You can also feel it now."

And true to his word his heart was thumping rapidly as if he had run a marathon. Chloe could feel the drumming of his heart. She definitely knew if she would put her ears near his chest, she can hear the lub dub as well.

"It only beats for you Chloe. Because, I love you."

He confessed. Chloe was quiet, she didn't know how to respond to this, this isn't the first time he's saying this. The first time he said these words was when he was defiling her. She was deeply hurt that night,because she knew he was sincere. He spoke his purest words while doing vile thing. She closed her eyes, trying to remove those unpleasant memories from coming back.

Andrew knew she was in a turmoil and to ease her up a bit he continued.

"As a kid I also wanted to be like my daddy. I wanted to have a family just like my own. But as life showed its color, this thought left my conscience but deep in my heart I always craved for a family. Then I got you. And now there's a life growing inside you. I know how it happened was a nightmare for you. But trust me I wasn't in my senses. But please just because of my sins don't hurt our baby. I know I can't stop you if you want to abort but please if I'll have to beg then I'll beg you to stop, I don't want you to think the child as a sin--"

Andrew's, blabbering was stopped when Chloe put her hand on his lips to stop him spurting nonsense. She was shocked after hearing this new information, she never thought Andrew was one of family making person. And the fact that he won't harm her child was so relieving for her. Now she was content to know that Andrew wants the child as much as she wants.

Andrew was surprised by her sudden act but the thing that he could comprehend from her behavior was more than a blessing.

"You want the child?"

Chloe nodded her head. Andrew smiled widely looking at her with adoration. The conflicts between them hasn't solved but that didn't mean she'll kill her child. It was innocent, she'll never punish an innocent soul.

Andrew was over the edge of happiness after knowing that she wants the child as much as he wants it. He knew she was innocent, and she would never hurt an innocent soul. But the fact that still disturbed him was that he hasn't told her the complete truth yet and when she'll know it. She'll be deeply hurt.

Chloe was smiling while caressing her stomach.

"Can I?"

He asked hesitantly indicating towards her stomach. She nodded slightly. She'll deal with him separately, but she wouldn't deprive her child of his fathers love.

Andrew touched her stomach and felt it, there wasn't anything different but the feeling of his life being there was overly exciting. He slightly pecked her stomach and she gasped. She looked at him wide-eyed. Andrew with an innocent face spoke.

"What? I was just kissing my child."
