Chapter 69 - 69: My Home
Kim Eunji had always been clear with her stand from the very beginning.
She would avoid violence at all cost but if these people were no longer happy with their lives and touched her bottom line, she would surely deliver their souls one by one to hell herself.
She would trust and obey the civil law in punishing those people guilty with their crimes but she would follow another law in giving that person a lesson if the civil law failed to do so.
She's willing to be the bad guy if that would mean that her loved ones would be safe from harm and danger.
After this incident, she realized that she could not completely ran away from her past as it had been a part of her. All she could do now was to accept it and move forward with her new life together with Nathan.
After the call, Kim Eunji went out of the toilet and saw Nathan patiently waiting for her.
"Let's go!" Kim Eunji smiled as she walked towards the handsome man whom she could still not believe she had just married earlier this morning.
Nathan smiled back showing off his perfect set of teeth and placed his arms around her slim waist line as they walked out.
In order to not attract any attention, the two decided to use the VVIP elevator used by the people admitted at the VVIP floors of the hospital.
As they arrived at the private parking lot, a black Bentley was already waiting for them.
Nathan then opened the door for his wife to enter first. Kim Eunji decided to move over so that Nathan didn't have to run to the other side of the car and sit there.
It was Marco Peterson who was driving this time. While Tang Hao was sitting on the passenger seat of the car.
Since Nathan did not come to the office the entire day and was caught up in the incident with the Mo couple, the two assistants had to do overtime for their boss.
Marco did not mind it, so did Tang Hao. However, seeing that his boss was together again with this woman, he could not help but to feel that she was a bad omen for his boss.
Everytime she was with him, something bad would happen to Nathan.
He could not understand why of all people, his boss chose to be with her.
Tang Hao didn't know that Nathan and Kim Eunji were already married but Marco did.
Nathan and Kim Eunji were silent on the back seat of the car.
Nathan signaled for Marco to put up the partition this time to give them privacy.
"What's the matter?" Nathan asked after Kim Eunji had been glancing at him from time to time.
"Tell me what's bothering you." He added.
"Aren't you going to ask me about everything?" Kim Eunji finally expressed after a moment of silence.
"Aren't you going to ask me...about what...you witnessed earlier?" Kim Eunji repeated as she fidgeted on her seat.
Nathan then beckoned for her to move closer. But Kim Eunji placed a safe distance between them.
Nathan decided to move closer instead. He then lifted Kim Eunji's hips so that she would be sitting down on his lap.
When she did, Nathan then inhaled her scent on her neck.
Kim Eunji shivered when she could feel hot kisses and his wet and hot tongue on her neck.
"Hubby, what are you doing?" Kim Eunji asked him.
"Wifey, I'm helping you to relax." Nathan whispered on her ear.
"Re-lax? Mm." Kim Eunji moaned when found her soft spot right near her ear.
"Yes. You looked tense the moment we entered inside the car. I don't like that. You're treating me like I'm someone whose going to judge you unfairly." Nathan expressed as he suck on her neck...hard.
Nathan's hand then snuck underneath her clothes and immediately pinched one of her nipples.
"Your nipples are already hard for me love. I bet you're also wet down there too?" Nathan huskily whispered on her ears as he licked on her earlobes.
"Na-Hubby, we should not do this here. Your men are still in front of us." Kim Eunji tried to reason with him. She was fighting her body needs too.
Ever since she allowed Nathan to explore her body, she hated to admit it but she wanted him as much as he wanted her. She's easily turned on even in his soft touches but she tried her best to be tough and not be tempted to initiate and flirt with him.
It's hard to resist someone who was oozing sex all over him. But somehow she had been managing and thought she'd been successful.
"So my wife's shy?" Nathan playfully teased as he bit her earlobe.
Kim Eunji didn't have to answer him as her body reaction was obviously speaking in her behalf.
"Alright. I'll let you off the hook for now. But remember, you still have to receive your punishment from me."
"I-I know." Kim Eunji stuttered.
"I admit, I do have a lot of questions in my mind. As your legal husband, I have the rights to know everything about you. But I'm not forcing you to say it now."
"Aren't you afraid I'm going to hurt you? You have witnessed how I'm capable of taking a person's life without even him knowing it." Kim Eunji nervously asked. Her voice trembling almost.
"Why should I be afraid? You're only taking what's yours. My life belongs to you now so I don't care if you'll end it now, too. Though I still hope that you wouldn't so that I could spend the rest of my living years with you until our hair turned grey."
Nathan then bobbed his head to the side as if he was in deep thought.
"I must have been a bastard to receive such punishment from you my beloved wife. But I'll gladly accept my fate in your hands because I love you so much more than my life."
Kim Eunji's heart skipped a beat and her stomach felt like it was filled by thousands of butterflies.
She felt giddy inside.
"For the record Mister Bai, your words never failed to always make me speechless." She honestly said.
"Is that a compliment Missus Bai?" Nathan said while caressing her shoulders gently.
But, instead of answering him, Kim Eunji's face became serious as she shifted her position so that she could clearly see his face when she talked to him.
"I'm someone dangerous and lethal Nathan. My past, I can't escape it no matter what I do. I can't force myself to forget about it either. I can't spill the details yet for your safety but believe me, my past could hurt you, too. It could ruin what we have to tell you honestly. I am a Monster, hubby..." pain could be evident in her voice and worries and fears could be seen in her eyes.
"Missus Bai, I don't care about how hellish your past was. Always remember that I'll accept you no matter who you are because you are you. Don't call yourself a monster because it's clear that you aren't!" It pained him to see this side of her. He knew her as this confident and independent woman.
But it didn't mean he loved her less because he showed this side of hers to him. He loved her even more because of this.
Kim Eunji nodded her head but did not say a thing.
"Though I'm a bit disappointed...but the reason is not what you think." Nathan immediately said to prevent her from making her imagination to run wild.
"I knew from the very beginning that you're tough but I didn't know you're this tough that you almost don't need a man in your life. That feeling somehow made me insecure." Nathan admitted.
"With everything that I've witnessed, you're more than capable to provide yourself with material things and even your own safety. However, do you know what keeps me to not be totally disappointed?"
Kim Eunji then curiously asked him as she looked for sincerity in his words, "What?"
Nathan faintly smiled and answered, "That we are destined to be together both in soul and in heart. And I'm more than willing to spoil you in those aspects together with material things. I'll support you emotionally and morally."
Kim Eunji felt her heart swelling up and her body was engulfed in his warm.
"Thank you... I abandoned my fate and left my family behind because I know that something great was waiting for me the moment I stepped out into the light. And from then on, I looked for my happiness. I've done good things as I looked for my new purpose in life. I thought I have already found my home in the faces of those children and the people that I had helped. Little did I know, I would found my home here in your warm embrace. That I'd found my new home in your heart." She emotionally expressed.
"That sounds like a love confession my beloved wife." Nathan teased which made Kim Eunji to pout.
"Don't be upset. I love it." Who wouldn't. She finally told him how important he was to her. And it's the most romantic thing ever for her.
"I'm glad you do. It's not easy for me to say that you know."
"I know. I'm sorry if you felt like I'm making fun of your feelings for me." Nathan had the urge to apologize to her.
"En. It's okay." Kim Eunji said in a relaxed tone this time.
Nathan leaned on the head rest and gently leaned Kim Eunji's head on his shoulder as he secured her upper body with his warm embrace.
"Missus Bai?"
"Hm?" Kim Eunji hummed.
"If there's anything that troubles you. Especially if it's about your past, please let me know. It's a must! Don't think of it as you're burdening me. I'm now your husband. Your worries, fears, troubles, happiness, success and sadness are mine, too. Understood? Your man's not a weak one."
"I understand. I'm glad that I married a very capable, outstanding and understanding husband." Kim Eunji playfully praised him.
Kim Eunji understood what he meant. They're now a package deal. It would be a great insult to him if he'd learn about it from other people. It would also mean that she's questioning his love for her by doubting him.
Her mood was now lighter compared to before.
"Of course you deserve the best!" Nathan cockily responded.
"Nah, I don't need you to be the best in everything. Imperfections are fine, too. You could show your best when you're in front of others but I would love to see your vulnerable side when you're with me. The side that only I should know."
"Isn't it what we're doing now?" Nathan probed.
"En. To see this side of you, it makes me happy." Kim Eunji expressed as she closed her eyes.
Nathan then brought her hand for his mouth to kiss.
It did not take long for Nathan and Kim Eunji to arrive at the mansion.
Nathan went out of the car with Kim Eunji peacefully sleeping in his arms as he carried her bridal style.
"Welcome Master Bai!" A few of the servants who were still awake greeted in a low voice when they saw Nathan carrying the sleeping Kim Eunji in his arms.
"It's already late. Arrange a room for them to sleep here." He then turned his attention towards his two assistant and continued, "Let's discuss everything first thing in the morning tomorrow before we go to the office."
Nathan did not wait for them to react and continued walking upstairs with Aunt Lucy following them.
"Please prepare a basin full of warm water Aunt Lucy. I want to give my wife a warm bath to make her muscles relax."
Nathan said as he gently placed Kim Eunji on their bed.
"I understand Master." Aunt Lucy then disappeared into the background.
Nathan then looked at Kim Eunji's sleeping face. Gone was the fierceness that she showed earlier and what remained was her pure and innocent face. He suddenly had the urge to kiss Kim Eunji's inviting lips. He then removed Kim Eunji's eye glasses and placed it on the bedside table. He also placed her bag on the couch and then removed Kim Eunji's shoes.
He then gently caressed her face.
Nathan suddenly had an idea and he took his phone and secretly took a photo of her sleeping side profile. He then immediately made it into his phone wallpaper.
Aunt Lucy came back with a basin full of warm water for the sponge bath.
"Isn't she beautiful Aunt Lucy?" Nathan said as proudly looked at his wife.
"She is Master. I have never seen someone as beautiful as her in this generation." Lucy stated as a matter of fact. She was not only praising Kim Eunji's physical beauty but also her inner beauty.
"En. And I love her so much." Nathan then started giving Kim Eunji the sponge bath.
With Aunt Lucy's assistance, he wiped every part of Kim Eunji's body. He also helped her change her sanitary pad. Aunt Lucy wanted to help him with it but Nathan insisted on doing so.
Nathan sighed when he found out that her period's still not over.
Aunt Lucy left as soon as the bathe finished.
After helping Kim Eunji changed into a comfortable set of pajamas, he then tucked her to bed. He placed a gentle kiss on top of her forehead.
Nathan then left and walked towards the bathroom to clean himself.
After he was done and had changed into his pajamas, he slowly slipped underneath the mattress and then turned off the lights.
Feeling his body heat, Kim Eunji scooted over to him and Nathan willingly welcomed her in his warm embrace.
Nathan then hummed a melody and closed his eyes until he was lost in deep sleep.
As the moon continued to lit up the obsidian sky, two souls had finally found their home.
