Third Person's POV:

Adam was sleeping with Fiona in the bed. His hands were itching to touch her, feel her and even for once he wanted himself inside her.

But quickly he brushed off that vicious thought. While kissing her in the restaurant, he went a bit rough with her, he hurt her.

Her wound of from the surgery wasn't completely healed yet.

However, both of them slept together at night.

During midnight, Adam woke up hearing a scream.

"Let me go! P-please d-don't hurt my b-baby. Ahhh!" Fiona was sweating, shaking sightly.

Adam realized that she was having a nightmare about her baby.

"Fiona! Fiona! Wake up! It's okay!" He called her. Then shook her body.

Fiona opened her eyes and when they landed on Adam, she instantly cowered away.

"D-don't hurt me! P-please! M-my baby! She burst into sobs, clutching the pillow against her chest.

Adam couldn’t understand what to do. He slowly approached her and tried to hug her.

"Don't touch me!" Fiona yelled, looking up at him. She cried but Adam forcefully wrapped his arms around her, she bit his hands, punched him but still he didn’t let her go.

Fiona sobbed her heart out, wailing over her distress.

"All happened because of you!" She hit his chest.

"You took away my baby, my motherhood!" She whispered. She fell asleep for crying so long.

Adam wondered why Fiona agreed to give him a chance when it was evident that she was still traumatized, scared of him and didn’t forget anything he did to her.

Does she has any intention? He thought.

Next day, Fiona slept longer than usual. Adam didn’t go out for that day. He decided to stay home and discuss things with her.

Fiona woke up and saw Adam was already up and staring at her.

Fiona felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

Slowly she sat up. She was feeling weak. Soon memories of last night came rushing back to her.

"Good morning." She spoke to Adam.

"Morning," Adam greeted back. Fiona entered inside the bathroom to get fresh. Returning from the bathroom, she came to the bed.

Adam was staring at her with scrutinizing eyes.

"Do you have anything to say?" She asked Adam.

"Fiona why did you agree with me? Why did you give me a chance when you couldn’t forget anything I did to you? You hate me and scared of me." Adam asked.

"Isn't it natural for me to hate you, Adam? You plucked me from my life and ruined me. Of course I remember every heinous deed you did to me. Still, why do I give a chance to you?" Fiona asked.

"Because it's for better. If I told you to let me go, would you do it? You wouldn’t. You wouldn’t let me go. You will do anything and everything to make me stay here. You wouldn’t think twice before using my little brother or my dad. But Adam I am a human too. I am tired of living like that. Tired of being hurt and being scared without doing anything. I want to live like a human being. So, I gave you a chance. Because this is the only way you will let me live peacefully. And Adam I saw the guilt in your eyes too. So, consider this a chance to sanctify your sins. If your mother was innocent, then I am innocent too. You hurt me, an innocent person, to take revenge for her. Your sins have touched her soul too. Do this and free yourself and her soul from the burden of the sins. At least, she doesn’t deserve this." She explained.

In the mention of his mother, something stirred deep inside him. Emotions hit her deeply. Whatever she said were true. He would never let her go. And even if he didn’t say it out loud, he felt regretful and guilty.

"If you ask me about those conditions, then let me say, as long as I am alive, why not live my life to the fullest? I also have every right to love someone, to be loved by someone. I also want a normal life where I will have a normal home, a loving husband. Why? Is it wrong? Can't I have this much expectations from life? Am I supposed to just breathe but not live?" Fiona questioned.

"I have every right to be loved. When you want to marry me, you have to love me madly. You have to cherish me. Or else I will leave you. Just Because many unfortunate things happened to me, it doesn’t mean that I have to end my life or live like a corpse." Fiona stated.

It made sense. Really she had every right to be happy.

She didn’t need any Adam to make her happy. But deep inside Adam knew that he needed her. He was obsessed with her and started developing feelings like love, care, dependence.

"If you think I have any ulterior motive, then let me go. But if I stay here, you have to treat me like a queen." She asserted, raising her chin up.

"I am sorry for doubting you, Fiona. I really can't let you go. You are right. I can't live without you." Adam suddenly hugged her.

"Adam, it's not easy for me too to give you a chance. But I don't want you to live in your guilt. Love me like I am your everything, I am your world. Only then I will accept you. If possible, I will forgive you too. I have stretched my hand to you, now it’s your turn. Love me like you mean it." Fiona patted his shoulder.

Adam released her and cupping her face, kissed her. Adam rested his head on hers.

"No secret from now on. I want to know everything about you," Fiona was breathing hard. Adam nodded and kissed her forehead.

"Adam, I want to start my study again." Fiona mentioned.

"Which University were you studying in? Do you want to study there or in a new university?"

"I want to continue rest of my study but in a new place. I want to start everything a new," She replied.

"Okay."

"Let's go, have breakfast. I got fresh and was waiting for you." Adam led her to the dining area.

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

Two months later,

Fiona and Adam's relationship was going great. Even though Adam was a merciless killer, he tried his best to make her happy.

Adam slept every night hugging her to his chest, hearing her soft heartbeats. Recently, she started studying again.

Fiona was physically healthy, even though her body was weak. She was on vitamin and other micro-nutrient supplements.

Fiona often used to say that she wasn't beautiful as before. Adam couldn’t understand her, because to him she was the most beautiful woman.

Adam came home at night but didn't find Fiona anywhere. He entered his room and then turned on the light.

"Happy Birthday, Adam!" Fiona yelled, smiling brightly at him. There was a cake before her and a candle was lit. This was the first time after the death of his mother that someone wished him birthday. He almost forgot his birthday.

"How did you know?" He curtly said.

"I saw your driving license. Did I do anything wrong?" Fiona nervously asked.

Adam walked to her and smiled at her.

"Someone is celebrating my birthday after 21 years. I am more surprised than happy." He stated.

"Um."

"Thank you, Fiona. For doing this for me. You are my everything." Adam hugged her.

"Don't be sad. It’s your birthday. Let's cut the cake. I baked after so many days. I don't know if it came out good." She said.

Adam cut the cake and fed her. Fiona fed him too and smudged cake on his cheek. Adam smashed his cheek on her and painted her cheeks with cream.

"Fiona, I love you. I tried to tell you many times but I couldn’t realize it before. I will never let you go." Adam confessed.

"Adam, love me more so that I can say the same to you and start our life soon. This much love isn't enough." Fiona kissed on his both cheeks.

After dinner, Fiona laid on Adam’s chest. Adam was running his fingers through her silky soft hairs.

“Today, I am truly happy,” Adam said.

“Why?” Fiona asked, trailing her fingers on his chest.

“Because I got you, Fiona. Fiona I can realize that you are my everything. My life is nothing without you.” Adam stated with sincerity.

“I don’t believe you that you love this much,” Fiona whined, hitting his chest lightly.

“You still haven’t told everything about yourself, what you do, your business. If you trusted me, you would tell me a long ago. But you didn’t. You just dodge the topic whenever I ask you. Even you don’t like me when I go to your company.” Fiona pouted.

“It’s not like that I don’t trust you, babe. I just didn’t want you involve with my dangerous business. That’s all. You are too innocent for that,”

“You don’t have to make any excuse for that. I can understand that you don’t even acknowledge me as your equal,” Fiona’s sad reply came out.

“Okay, you won my, love. I will tell you everything. Don’t be mad,” Adam responded.

“Yay!” Fiona shrilled, kissing him on his lips.

“Now let me sleep,” Saying, Fiona got off from his body and lay beside him. She lay on her left side, facing her back to him. Adam hugged her from behind and kissed on the nape of her neck.

“I love you,” He murmured before sleeping. Fiona didn’t reply him back. She heard his steady breathing indicating that he was asleep. Slowly a bitter smile formed in her lips.

I am anything but innocent now, Adam. I am tainted now and you are the one who tainted my soul. Wouldn’t it be unfair to me if you get a happy ending? She thought to herself.
