Chapter 107: The Fire
When he opened the bedroom door, he thought he heard her cry. His hand on the knob trembled. He felt ashamed to even look at her. He thought of himself—he prided himself on someone who would never hit his wife. He keeps telling her that she is his wife and yet he didn’t wait to hurt her not a month into their marriage.
He is everything she accuses him of!
"What?" he turned at Steve who was standing behind him.
Had he not hesitated to enter his own room; he wouldn’t have minded Steve. But he couldn’t find the courage to enter his own room. He could hear her painful cry along with the music that was playing.
"Capo, there is a guy here to meet you about something important. He says he’ll only talk to you," Steve came to the point. He could see that Leander would snap at any moment.
"Make sure he talks to you," Leander waved his hand without even looking at Steve. But then he turned to face him. His eyes were somber and Steve immediately turned his entire attention to him. "Next time, don’t open the door when I’m with my wife unless I call you by name. No matter what happens, even if she tries to kill me, no one can open the door from the outside."
He did not want to let others know that he does not get along with his wife. Especially his grandfather.
Steve nodded. That was an odd request. One would have expected to hear about giving privacy to a newly married couple, but in Leander’s case, it’s... He could understand that Leander wants to keep his marital problems secret.
Steve stared at the closed door. He hoped the fight didn’t continue. That woman might have managed to do that to Evander but he didn’t think that she could win against Leander. As far as he believed, Leander is someone who won’t pride himself on killing his wife, unlike his family members.
But what does he know? He too is a Kastello. Their blood flows in him. And, more importantly, he shouldn’t care about it because it does not concern him.
He went down the stairs to handle the stubborn guy who only wanted to talk to Leander.
Leander went into the room and gently closed the door. The bathroom door was slightly ajar, and he could hear the music. It was one of Ed Sheeran’s songs that he hadn’t listened to yet. She was crying along to that sad song.
