My husband turned out to be a psychopathic Mafia

Forgive

Next day

At 8:30 in the morning

P.O.V Emma's

I woke up with a severe headache. With a faint look my eyes slightly tried to adjust to the bright light. Suddenly I felt a hand gently caressing my hair. I looked up only to encounter two black balls that were staring at me with worry.

He is none other than my beloved husband...

William Knights

He smiled gently as he continued to caress my head.

"My dear, are you feeling better now?" she said softly. I stared at him blankly when suddenly yesterday's terrible incident flashed through my mind, making me cry out in fear.

I was shaken and pushed him away so William fell to the floor. I got out of bed and immediately rushed to the door as the world around me started to spin. I closed my eyes and held my head but before I could understand, I fainted.

The P.O.V Emma

William's View

I was shocked and looked at Emma in shock. He suddenly shouted to surprise me. He pushed me and ran towards the door when he suddenly froze in place and held his head with both hands. Heart stopped.

"EMMA!!!"

He almost fell to the floor but I immediately ran towards him and caught him in my arms. Eyes closed. She's fainted. Tears began to flow down my cheeks as I stared at his unconscious figure. I carried her like a bride and gently placed her on the bed. Then I called our family doctor, James. Although I never let another man touch my Emm, James is like my own brother.

"What happened to Emma?", I asked James. He did not reply, instead he looked at me with a murderous look. I sighed because I knew the reason behind his anger.

Both of his cheeks were very swollen and scratched with long red fingerprints. His lips were badly injured and bruised. Both of her wrists turned blue and her neck was marked with purple spots.

James approached me. "I thought you loved her?", I was surprised by her question.

"What did you say? Of course, I love her. He is my life. I love her so much" I replied firmly.

"IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL LOVE??", she yelled angrily while pointing her index finger towards Emma. I bowed in shame.

I slowly raised my head and looked at her as tears filled my eyes. "Jamie, Emma hates me now. He knows the whole truth. That John has turned his love against me. In fact, they were planning to steal my baby from me. I love her so much, Jamie. I can't let him go. I will die without it" I said, crying with great sadness.

The end of P.O.V William.

James's gaze became gentle as he watched William cry like a baby. He is well aware of the great love William has for Emma. He really loved her with all his heart. However, she never imagined that William would become so possessive of her. He immediately hugged her. William returned his embrace and sobbed in his arms.

"William, we all know how much you love Emma and she loves you. But you should have told him about the real you" he said in a sad voice.

"Then he will leave me," William replied in a wounded voice. James took a breath.

"No, William, Emma really loves you. He would never do that. I'm well aware of the love and concern you two have for each other. But, friends, the basis of your love is a lie. You earn his trust and win his heart by keeping him in a lie, by establishing a false identity as a dynamic, interesting, and powerful businessman. More than that, when he knows the truth in any way, what do you do? Instead of apologizing to her, you not only killed her best friend in front of her eyes, but also blackmailed her into marrying you. And now when he fights back, you beat him? Look at that poor girl, William." she scolded him.

William slowly turned his gaze towards Emma who was bedridden with an infusion attached all over her body. She could not help but cry as she stared at his helpless state.

"This is not true at all, William! This is not the William we know" James said in a disappointed voice. William felt guilty after hearing his words. Even though it's reality. Then she let go of her embrace and wiped her tears.

"You're right, James. I'm so sorry," he said, bowing his gaze in shame. "No, apologize to Emma, not to me. Promise me that you will never hit him again or scold him. Don't turn your pure and gentle love into madness and obsession. Don't let anger get over you so you end up hurting him or worse" James replied, his voice very serious.

William was silent at the answer. He knew what James wanted to say. He immediately shook his head with rejection.

"I would never do that. I never wanted to hurt him either" he said as his eyes filled with fear. James saw. He gripped both of his shoulders and squeezed them.

"I know you hurt him without even knowing it. It would have happened if you didn't control yourself now. Don't turn into a monster, William. Emma and I love William who is sweet and funny, not William who is cruel and psychopathic," he tries to make her understand. William nodded.

"Promise you, James. I'm gonna change. I'll apologize to him. I'll even seduce her. But please tell me about his condition." James smiled at her. He then hit her shoulder.

"He has a fever. I gave him medicine. If he wakes up and is afraid of you, try to comfort him first, and when he's a bit stable, just apologize. Emma is a sweet and kind girl. He'll understand. And also, she loves you, William," she winked at him. William turned his gaze away from her with a gentle smile as his cheeks turned red.

James laughing.

"Mmm, is there someone who's shy?" he teases. They both laughed. William smiled and hugged her out of happiness and excitement. James laughed and returned the hug.

"You're fine Emma and you are too. You two have just gotten married, so enjoy a happy married life" she said with a smile. William nodded his head. The two of them spoke for a while and soon James left.

~Lick Time

At 4:00 p.m.

William was sleeping next to emma while holding her hand when he suddenly felt that something was moving beside him. He opened his eyes and saw her awake. He immediately sat down and held his hand tightly.

"Emma, you're awake. How are you?" he spoke softly, his eyes glittering with excitement.

But as soon as his eyes met her, he immediately felt jolted backwards. William felt hurt as he looked at the fearful look in his eyes for her. She tries to hold her cheek, but Emma turns her face to the side and starts crying making her panic.

"H - hey Emma -"

"T-remain far!"

He finally gave up. He was too weak and tired. She cried with all her might in her arms while William hugged her tightly and began to rock her body to calm her down.

After a while, Emma finally felt calm. William then let go of his embrace and saw her. His eyes were swollen and red. He held her cheek and wiped away the tears with his thumb. He looked into her eyes. Emma looked at him painfully and sadly, making her eyes even teary. William then kissed her pale, dry lips gently. She slowly let go of her kiss and placed her forehead on it, stroking her cheeks gently.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, my love. I shouldn't have done this to you. I'm so sorry", she cried. Emma then saw him. He let go of William's hand, leaving William confused. Then he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. After a while, he fell asleep.

William looked at him who was sleeping with eyes full of guilt. He felt hurt seeing Emma's indifference towards him. Then she wiped her tears and came out of the room in silence.

*****

It has been two days since the incident. Emma did not say a word. He always looked lost and kept staring blankly into space. He's getting weaker and paler. James often came to check on her. He gave her an injection to sleep well. It was to improve his weakened condition. She tells William that Emma is going through a temporary trauma but there is nothing to worry about.

However, William was getting restless. He always spends time with her 24/7. He never left the house for two days. He always tried to talk to her, but she never responded.

Two days later

At 9 p.m

William entered the room with a tray of food. She saw Emma sitting on the sofa next to the window. His heart ached as he watched her stare out the window like a lifeless soul. His eyes were blank and his face was flat.William slowly put the tray on the table and walked over to him. She stroked her hair gently, but she did not respond. William then sat down beside her and held her hand.

"Darling?", he spoke softly.

There's no response.

His heart was heavy with regret. She squeezed his hand and started crying.

"I'm so sorry, honey, I know I shouldn't have done that. I know I'm a cruel person, but this is because I love you so much. I know I hid my true self from you for years, I was afraid that you would leave me. You'll fear me when you find out that I'm not the funny William you love so much, but a dangerous mobster who is the boss of the most powerful and ruthless gang in the underworld. You will definitely run away from me", she spoke in a severed voice. Emma still did not respond.

"You know, Emma, I have no one in this world but you. After Dad handed this power to me, a few days later he was shot by a gang

rivals."

Emma was shocked to hear his words. He looked at her with wide eyes.

"Yeah, I lied to you about my father's death. It wasn't an accident", he admitted while lowering his head. Emma looked at him sharply. His blood boiled in his anger.

How many lies did he tell her? How much did he hide from her and still hide from her? Emm feels stupid for falling in love with a liar and a cheater.

He roughly plucked his hand out of his grasp but William immediately hugged him. She continued to struggle and push him, but she started crying while hugging him tightly.

"Please forgive me. I love you so much, Emma. I'm sorry I killed your friend John, too, but I couldn't help myself watching you run off with him. I'm afraid he's gonna take you away from me. But I shouldn't have done that. I'm really sorry. Helpfully

I'm sorry, honey. I wouldn't be able to live without you. I would never hurt you, I promise... I'm sorry, honey", William started crying like a child.

THE P.O.V. Emma.

Hearing William cry like a baby in my arms brings tears to my eyes. I was very angry at him for what he had done, but hearing his sincere apology made my heart ache. He behaves like a man who makes me fall in love. I forgot that he was a ruthless mobster who had killed my friend and behaved like a monster towards me. I was very angry and scared of him, but I also loved him very much. I let go of her embrace gently and grasped her face while wiping away the tears.

"William, I love you a lot too. But promise me that you won't hurt anyone or kill anyone. I will only forgive you on one condition", I said firmly.

His eyes glowed with joy. He clasped my face and said cheerfully, "What? I'll do anything"

"Leave your mafia empire."

William was surprised to hear my words. He slowly removed his hand from my face and lowered his head.

"Emma, I can't leave her," she whispered sadly. The answer disappointed me. William looked at me he saw disappointment on my face. Then he clasped my hand tightly and spoke while looking me in the eye meaningfully.

"But I promise not to do illegal things from now on. I will work only for the betterment of society. I'll do all the good deeds through my business as you wish."

My eyes sparkled with joy at hearing him say. I immediately hugged him. "Thank you, William. I know you'll change" I smiled. William let go of the hug and clasped my face.

"Promise me that you'll forgive me first" he frowned. I laughed when I saw him look like an angry little boy.

"I forgive you. I love you so much" I pinched her cheek. She smiles.

"And I love you more than anyone in this world."

I started crying for happiness. William wiped my tears and kissed me lovingly. I kissed her back. We then looked at each other with love.

William then fed me and helped take my medicines. He then laid me on the bed. She also lay down beside me and wrapped her hands around me while putting my head on her chest. One hand wrapped around my waist and the other hand gently stroked my hair. I also wrapped my hands around her waist. After a while, my eyelids felt heavy and I finally fell asleep in my dreams.

The end of P.O.V Emma.

William saw Emma sleeping at his side. She smiled and clasped her right cheek while she gently stroked it.

But suddenly, his vision darkened. He started smiling in a scary way...

"I finally got you back, Emma."

"His love knows no boundaries and boundaries...No matter right or wrong...No matter the rules or regulations...The important thing is how to keep him with her forever...Either in a good or bad way."
