WIDOW IN MY BED

Thirty minutes ago, Steve got word from his mother that his sister was attacked by her ex-husband while returning home.

He, who was about to go to bed, eventually changed his pajamas and rushed to the hospital where Amanda was being treated, leaving his pregnant wife with the servants. This business is much more urgent now.

“I was going to pick you up before I left for the hospital, but Dad sent me a message to come straight here,” Steve entered Amanda’s treatment room after talking to Javas Nararya, the mob boss’s confidant. Steve’s eyes were directed at his parents, waiting for Amanda on the couch. “How’s my sister? What did the Doctor say, Dad?”

“Amanda is in good condition, and nothing is fatal other than a few abrasions. But, maybe after this, Amanda should visit a psychologist to find out more about her mental state. I’ve taken care of her schedule. You take it easy.”

Steve sighed with relief. “Damn, I should have taken better care of my sister.” And then blamed myself.

Daniel Howard patted his son on the shoulder to say it wasn’t Steve’s fault. What happened tonight was beyond their prediction. “I’m grateful Amanda was rescued on time, and now it’s in the safest place.”

The older man told Steve. “Even though I’ve warned you when I’m about to destroy someone’s life, you think living things don’t have such a grudge? No, those who have lost everything are very easy to commit the most irrational acts. You know why?”

Daniel looked at his son calmly while pressing every sentence. “Because they have nothing more to fear. Common sense, feelings, and hope are all useless. And see what happens to your sister now?”

From his father’s words, Steve feels that he is being advised and pursued by feelings of increasing guilt at the same time. Steve knows that Amanda is more heartbroken than he is. Still, even her angel-like sister never intended to ‘revenge evil with evil.’ Because of Steve’s revenge, the woman with the most beautiful heart is now the victim.

“I know, Dad. I’m sorry for my mistake.”

Daniel said seriously, like a wise father. “Playing with other people’s lives is not good, and you must fix your temper, at least for Kellani and your children someday, Steve.”

Steve didn’t answer, digesting his father’s words, who was starting to bring up his beloved wife. Steve’s so predictable. The guy would think so hard if Kellani’s name was mentioned.

“But, I’m still proud of you. My unknowing ex-son-in-law deserves to be punished.” Daniel refrained from laughing because Amanda was fast asleep. “Next time, you must learn to cut someone’s tail and head better, Steve.”

“Damn, I’m being pranked.” Steve smiled sourly at his father’s compliments and taunts at the same time. “I should have sent him to the funeral at that time.”

“Yes-yes, you are too kind,” Daniel replied humorously. “Then where is Chris now? Has he been taken to the police station yet?”

“Just before I came in, I had a chance to talk to Matthew Wallace’s people. The leader’s name is Jav, and I’ve handed over the settlement to them so that Chris never shows up again in front of Amanda. They must have a better way to handle the guy. The police station is too comfortable for him, Dad.” Steve said sarcastically, mockingly.

“Yes, I hope she will never bother my daughter again,” Sarah interrupted slowly. At this moment, the woman was pulling her husband’s arm for her to hold so that her anxiety would disappear. “Honey, it’s making me nervous. Is it all over? Can we trust them?”

Matthew Wallace’s men spread throughout the hospital after Jav reported terrible news to his boss. The rest is predictable now that Matt is in extreme panic on a plane to Sydney.

“Yeah, sure. Even now, Amanda can sleep without worrying about anything. Our daughter believes in those people, so why should we worry so much.” Sarah doesn’t understand why her husband is so sure that Amanda will be okay with many prominent men dressed in black and villain-like faces in action movies that give off a threatening aura.

Steve added. “The men outside are Mom’s trained soldiers, and it would be safer than just putting an ordinary bodyguard.”

“Excuse me, I brought coffee, blankets, and food.” Jav entered politely, even though it was awkward, but Jav still did it because of orders. “We will be on guard outside for 24 hours; if we need anything else, please don’t hesitate to say it. We will try our best.”

“Thank you,” Daniel Howard gave a friendly smile, then again told his son. “Steve, you should just go home. Kellani will be waiting for you at home. Don’t forget that your wife is pregnant, and you must always accompany her.”

“Fine, Dad.” Steve nodded, and after confirming his sister’s condition again, he rushed home.

While Sarah and Daniel decide to stay, they will not calmly leave their daughter alone in the hospital.

…

Amanda accidentally ignores her boyfriend’s messages and calls because she needs sleep to recover her strength. Amanda just checked her cell phone after breakfast and changed clothes. There were over a hundred notifications, and then when Amanda tried to call back, the guy’s number was off.

“Boss, please stop. We’re in the hospital. This commotion will disturb the patient’s rest.” Jav, who had just returned after buying dessert, hurriedly intervened.

“If they-the soldiers ordered to guard Amanda-were working, I wouldn’t have gotten this angry.” Jav saw Matthew Wallace’s horrified look on her face.

“They’re trained men you chose. If you ask me why they were late, I find another fact. Someone accidentally installed a signal jammer.”

“Then why did you just say it, Jav?” Matt answered, looking intently into the dark-skinned man’s body.

Jav is still standing tall, staring back hard. “I was going to say after getting the evidence, but before that, it’s not that I have to investigate it.”

“I want you to clean up this mess, or I’ll kill everyone involved.” It was a cruel tone that showed that he cared nothing for anyone but the safety of his lover.

“I always do my best, but please let the boss ease your anger.” Jav tried to calm his boss down.

The wrinkles appear on Matt’s face. “You dare set me up, Jav?” His expression changed. In his silent face, the man shouted a bloody murder when he pulled a gun out of his holster and then pointed it at Jav’s head.

Matthew Wallace seemed to lose his temper but covered it up when he saw Amanda suddenly coming out of the infirmary and asked for her hand to put the gun down.

“Are you going to shoot them all who’ve been on guard here since last night?” Amanda couldn’t help but wonder why violence was a way out. “If you want to blame me, just punish me for not being able to take care of myself.” Amanda’s voice sounded like a threat and made Matt stare sad.

Amanda’s never liked violence, but Matt’s way of disciplining his subordinates really freaked her out. What if the gun went off and caused a new problem?

The man slowly released Amanda’s grip on his hand, and the hardened look on his face gradually became flat. “I have reason to discipline them.”

“They’ve worked hard, and I’m fine. Why are you bringing it up again? After arriving in Sydney, you should have come to see me instead of making a fuss.” Amanda glanced at Jav and several other prominent men to give him a signal, but Matt didn’t say anything.

Amanda hopes her lover’s anger subsides, but seeing as the person who treats her tenderly is turning cold, Amanda can only bite her lips. Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air as Matt pulled up her waist and held her up in his muscular arms.

Amanda wanted to ask Matt to take it down, but he knew it would screw up. He could hold on tight to his leather jacket. “You should go back to your room and rest very much. Let me stay with you.”

Matt’s embrace and the smell that Amanda misses make her body tremble even more. Fear grew inside her even though Amanda firmly believed Matt would never hurt her.

Slowly, the man sat Amanda on the patient’s bed. Firmly grasping the back of Amanda’s head, the chapped lips began to move on her lips. His ample chest pressed Amanda’s body while forcing her tongue to push Amanda’s lips open.

It was so sudden that Amanda was shocked by Matt’s kiss. Her eyes were wide open, but she did not resist when Matt began to have his lip bearded, a kiss as soft as an apple pie. Their breath vibrates as Matt releases first, and the eyeballs lock in longing.

Matt said slowly when the man touched her fingers, thinking what he had just done frightened Amanda.

Amanda nodded. Ever since she first accepted Matt as Amanda’s boyfriend, guessing that he had a dark side, she never showed him. “How was your flight? Was the food on the plane good?”

“Okay, and your cooking is still the best.” Matt feels that Amanda is trying to melt the atmosphere right now.

Again, Amanda asked. “Now, have you calmed down?”

“No,” Matt sighed a little and looked back at Amanda. “You should have listened to me, stayed in the restaurant from the beginning!” Then hissed slowly.

“I said I would send a driver, but you were desperate to go home without an escort!” Matt said frustratedly before lowering his voice. “Promise me that this is the last time; from now on, you’ll do as I say, okay?”

The relief was reflected on Matt’s face after Amanda quickly nodded in agreement she would comply. The man was seen sighing slowly once again and eventually calmed down.

After hesitating, Amanda reached out her hand to caress her lover’s hair, jaw, and her boyfriend’s handsome face. She rubs the black circles on his eyes to soothe them. Fatigue, Matt leans back and yearns for Amanda’s touch more as he bows to lean his forehead on the shoulders of his favorite woman.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“When Jav called me, when I watched the tape,” Matt started talking, his voice shook. “In front of the restaurant, I see you’re so scared and forcibly pulled, that bastard dares to touch mine, damn it!” Matt’s big arm grabs Amanda’s body as if it’s trying to keep Amanda close to him. “I came as fast as I could. You know how crazy I was?”

Amanda feels her heart beating painfully and Matt’s breath echoing warmly in her ears. She looked at her concerned man, his ruffled hair resting on her shoulders.

How could this man be scared because of himself?

“Fortunately, a few days before going to Russia, I had ordered them to watch over you secretly. I knew you’d refuse to be guarded for 24 hours if I asked permission.”

Amanda mumbled softly, “I promised I’d follow you from now on. If it calms you down, you can put as many guards as you like.”

“Yes, because I’m the boss. You know what would happen if they were just a little late… I can’t imagine that anything bad happened to you. The bastard has sealed his fate, and I will make sure he pays for his crimes.” Matt spoke seriously with a slow growl, and he still sank into his mind. His ice-cold black eyes drove Amanda to lose her way in despair.

“Matt…”

“I’m worried about you, Amanda.” His voice turned sad again, “I’ve never had a girlfriend and only made a woman a toy. But you’re different and the woman who’s my family now. “I’m so scared of losing my family one more time,” Matt said, “that woman was afraid of being misspoken.
