A small child was walking in the massive gate of a very beautiful and grand mansion to deliver a newspaper but the mansion seems to give a ominous aura
"Uhmm...hello Mister"The paper boy said to no one
Then a man appear
"Oh"The man said
The boy was startled
"Oh, thank you, how about a t-"Dante said
"Ahhh...m-monster!"The boy said running
"Eh? Monster? Isn't that a bit too much? I was just repairing my car"He said and he sniffs himself
He frowns
"Cripes! No wonder!"He exclaims
He stinks
"Dante, I just run into the paper boy screaming moster at the top of his lungs"He heard his wife said as she arrives home from the grocery
Beatrice is wearing a white fury coat and a black boots, a white scarf and a bonnet
"Welcome home"He greeted as she walks closer to him and he steps back making Beatrice frown
"Is something wrong?"She asked
"I stunk"He said
She giggles and walks closer
"I don't care"She said as stands on tip toe and wraps her arms around his neck and kiss him on his lips
He chuckled
"Go inside I'll join you shortly"He said as he bumps his forehead on hers and for some reason Beatrice blush
He smile which deepens her blush
"I-I got it, Stinky man"She said and for some reason she always switch from sweet to blunt and rude towards him the next
He smile that's what makes her interesting and...
No, he can't think of her like that because he'll betray someone and he doesn't want that
He shook his head as if to shoo away any idea of him and his wife like that after all, he only loves her as a friend and that was all besides there is no way she'll love him like that sooner or later they'll have to go their seperate ways and she'll be free to be with the man she truly love
Inside Beatrice is mentally kicking herself, why can't she be ladylike? She has to be rude to him instead of just saying what she wants to say
She sigh as she watch Dante work on his car
How can he stay outside only wearing a piece of shirt? It was freezing
She left and went to their bedroom to change
Dante was reading the letter he receives in their bedroom when he finished bathing
He was a author of the famous trilogy 'The Darkness of the Night' his name is Benito Rossi
He enters his study and found his wife reading the two book he receives yesterday
"Where is the third book?"She asks him as she finish it which made him remember another blond who loves reading books, he shook his head slightly, he can't think like that towards her it will be cruel and rude to think of her as a replacement to the woman he loves the most
"That's all of it"He said
Then he felt a foot on his left shin
"OW!"He screams
"It was a trilogy and therefore have to have a third book"She said
"Well, Mr. Rossi disappears a month ago"He said clutching his shin
"Grrr! What will happen to the love story? What will happen to Augustus and Brian's love?!"She growled
"Judging from the names they are both males"He said as he goes over to some papers
"It was a very exquisite story"She said
Who knew Beatrice is into same sex love
"Am not!"She exclaims
"Did my thoughts comes out?"He asked
"Your thoughts is showing on your face, Idiot"She said as she lightly bumps her forehead on his
Dante laughs at this
Her blue eyes seems to soften and before he can blink she kiss him and she immediately deepens it as she holds his face on both side to keep him from breaking it early when she wants more
She seems to enjoy kissing him lately, he felt the need for oxygen and he breaks it but Beatrice holds him in place just a little further from her face, she licks his lips and kiss him again when she knows he already catch his breath and this time she is deepening it more but one thought or rather the wolf in him protest and he immediately breaks it
She was panting and her blue eyes darkens and he knows it was desire he knows because he saw it when he was younger
"What's wrong?"She asked him bumping her forehead on his, the gesture is innocent as if her action earlier didn't happen
"Nothing"He said as he stands up and pats her head
She embrace him and let go immediately
She left before him
He slumps down thinking that she is doing this because of her duty as his wife, he needs to remind her that she doesn't need to do what she doesn't want to
He found her in the kitchen cutting vegetables
He wraps his arms around her waist from behind and burries his face in her hair smelling the already familiar scent of Vanilla
"W-what is it?"She asked stuttering
He instantly regrets doing it, she doesn't like this and he is disrespecting her
Now that he looks at her she is such a small woman he towers over her, making her look like a fragile doll, he needs to protect from every harm in this world
"You know, you are my wife"He said slowly
"And?"She urge him to continue
"I have every right to you"He said
"Yes, you have"She said and strangely enough she seems rather...excited
"But..."He said
This seems to change Beatrice mood
"We are arrange"He said as he embrace her closer
"What does it matter?"She asked him in a rather calm voice
"It matters because you don't love me"He said
She sighs
"And you don't need to do anything physical to me"He said
She was silent
"Just stay by my side"He said
She nods
"That's the request I'm willing to obey but beyond that is not acceptable"Beatrice said
He smiles but her next words made his blood run cold and he doesn't know why
"And I meant it in a way as a woman meaning If you want the pleasure of the flesh, I'll gladly give it to you"Beatrice said
"That's not what I meant I just want you by my side and nothing beyond that after all we are friends, right?"He said
"Friends?"She said
"Yeah, friends"He said
She is silent as she chops the vegetables
"Beato?"He said puzzles by her silence
She slams the knife down
He flinched
"Friends?! Friends?!"She exclaims, she exploded
"Y-yeah"He said
"I'm your wife!"She said
"Y-yeah but we can still be friends"He said trying to calm her
"That's impossible because 'friends' don't kiss each other like this!"She as she stands on tip toe and kiss him passionately she broke it immediately
"Beato, we are just friends"He insisted
"I'll get Renato, he can cook dinner"She said walking away
He was puzzled
Virgillia appears
"Ms. Michelle"He said
"You know she is angry"She said
"But why?"He asked his former teacher
"Because you are being cruel"Virgillia said
He was confused, he didn't do anything to her, he didn't even push her to do anything she doesn't want to, he just told her that she is a friend to him
"Kindness is cruel sometimes and that is what you are doing by saying that she can do anything she wants at the same time prohibiting her from doing what she wants to do the most"Virgillia said knowing it was futile for her former student to understand Beatrice feelings for him
He leaves the kitchen when Renato arrives
"Just let them be"She heard her husband said to her
"Yeah"She said resigning to the fact that they both still carries the same guilt
Both her and Dante failed to keep their promise to the same woman and she is hoping to at least atone for it by fulfilling her last request
"Watch over him, make sure he is safe and happy"Her charge said as she was preparing to accept her fate
"...As you wish, Milady"She bows before her master and sister
"Michelle, thank you and goodbye"The golden-haired girl said
"..."She didn't say anything and left
She is sitting in the train going to Italy and looks at her former home disappears by and by
"Goodbye, My cute, monstrous, sad, cruel, angry, kind, gentle and lonely Golden-haired Princess"She said as she knows the fate her beloved former charge will be facing
She sigh after all no matter how many years will pass she will never forget her so is Dante
That she is sure of because he can't never ever forget her kindness and that is something she prays that Beatrice herself can make him forget because he is being cruel without even knowing
She is in their bedroom and she just realized that she just throws a tantrum in front of Dante and he didn't even get it but she can't help it, he is hurting her feelings even more and he just admitted something that she already suspect
She is just his friend
She can't accept that, she is his wife and therefore he can't look at her like that, she has desire too and she wants Dante to take her everything, she wants Dante to want her...no that's wrong she wants him to love her like a woman, she wants him to love her just like how she loves him
She has to prove it to him that she is a woman and his wife therefore it is okay to look at her while she is naked, it's okay to touch her without him asking permission because she already permitted him to do all he wanted with her body
She has to calm down, she can't just throw her temper, she has to prove to him that she is the ideal woman, the perfect wife for him.
With that thought she smile and thought they are arrange anyways and it will take time for him to fall for her but she will be patient, she'll wait patiently for the day they'll share this mutual love, yes, patiently but first she has to apologize to him.
*knock* *knock*
She knows that knock
"Come in"She said as Dante enter
"Umm..."He was awkward to say anything
""I'm sorry""They both said in unison, they look at each other for a while and laugh
Yes, that's why Bice loves him so much, he is very easy to forgive
"It's okay though I don't know what I did"He said while laughing
She laughs as she walks closer to him and embrace him
"Forgive me?"He asked her as he wraps his arms around her
"Forgive what exactly?"She asked
He chuckle
That night Dante dreams of her looking at him accussingly with her Beautiful Purple Eyes the color of lavander with a tint of blue and sadness color it like the last expression he saw from her
He suddenly woke up and he felt a weight on his chest and a warm arm around his stomach
He saw Beatrice as she snuggles closer to him
He took a moment to watch his wife's face
Beatrice is indeed a very beautiful woman, she looks even more beautiful when she sleeps her expressive face is relax, she has long eye lashes the color of ebony and her eye brows match her Beautiful ginger-blond hair
He played with her long ginger-blonde curls and she snuggles closer to him, he holds her closer when she shivers slightly
He can't sleep anymore because if he close his eyes again he might saw her Beautiful Purple Eyes looking at him sadly and accusing him of ever holding another woman, of him ever kissing another woman
He stayed in bed for a little longer when he saw the sun rise he stands up, he always thought that he is cheating on Beatrice by thinking of another woman and he is cheating on her also by holding his wife
Her beautiful Purple Eyes use to be a symbol of hope, he always love her Beautiful Purple Eyes but now it was nothing but a reminder of how much of a useless man he is a useless, talentless, incompetent man and his incompetence cause her to die
He felt it again the pang of pain and longing grips his heart again
It was slowly killing him, he learns from her that living isn't just breathing but seeing the sky blue, seeing the world in colors not gray and seeing the sea as blue instead of gray and watching the sun sparkle on it's surface together
"Let's see the light sparkle in the ocean again, just the two of us"He said to the sleeping golden-haired girl on his shoulder
He promised her but he can't fulfill it anymore and while she is the one who taught him how wonderful it was to live she is the one who stole his reason for living, she is the one who stole his world because she is his world
He felt angry with himself again he has a wife and saying that even in his mind is like emotionally cheating on Beatrice
He sighs
They arrive at the Rossi Residence and saw a woman younger than Beatrice with blonde hair and she was cleaning something
He killed the engine and they both got out of the car to cold morning weather
"Is this the Rossi Residence?"He asked the obvious as to not reveal who they are
"Yes, who are you?"The girl asked
Dante saw the girl's clothes splattered in blood and a bloodied saw of sort he wasn't sure
He grimace at this
"Where is Mr. Rossi?"He asks
"He is inside"She said
He looks up and saw a man standing by the window
"I see"He said quietly
"Is he writting the third book?"He heard his wife asked
He facepalmed
Then the girl smile
"Are you a fan?"She asked
"Yes, since today"Beatrice deadpanned
"This is wonderful, I'll let you meet him, come tomorrow"She said
He mentally made a note to thank her later
"Sorry for the late introduction, I'm Adelina Rossi Benito's wife"She said as she curstied
"What do you think?"Beatrice asked him as she goes to being serious
"I don't know yet, the fragments are not enough"He said as he starts the engine
He knew that the fountain of wisdom is inside him too, after all they share the same bloodline but his is not as impressive as hers is but to other standard he is already considered a genius but not like her she is just amazing but he has to wonder if she felt this sensation whenever she solve a case because he felt as if he is being taken out of his body and into another dimensions and he can't tell this to anyone but he usually saw countless fragments as his brain connects it all
"Hmmm, let's wait tomorrow"She said
His mind is on the bloody hatchet and the blood splattered clothes of Adelina and the fact that she looks younger than his wife
That night he is brainstorming while Beatrice sleeps by his side snuggling against him contentedly
Missing people, Lana Donato and Mr. Rossi and the girl Adelina, the fragments us not enough yet to connect everything
He felt Beatrice snuggles closer to him he held her closer as to keep her warm, she seems to be comfortable with him enough to share a bed with him and she is the one who force him to boot, it was a week after their wedding and that actually puzzled him
He close his eyes and a vision of another Pair of Purple Eyes appear
He immediately opens his own Violet Eyes and close it again
"You said you'll protect me"A very familiar voice said
He woke up
A dream?
He puts his arm over his eyes as Beatrice is using him as a pillow and blanket
He need to cover it because he can feel the tears coming and he bit his lips to prevent a heartbroken and painful sob from escaping
Beatrice doesn't need to know that by the time they are wed he is still mourning someone
Inside Dante's mind he can still see her Beautiful Long Golden hair and Beautiful Purple Eyes the color of Lavander with a tint of blue facing her fate bravely and with dignity, Her blunt, rude, demonic, deadpan, sarcastic, proud, arroggant, smart attitude with her kind, gentle, loving, caring, lonely, sad, angry, affectionate, sweet and good nature and her childish smile that can melt and capture the heart of every person who would see it
He miss her so much, he didn't even get to cut his ties to the dead because he is a criminal and he doesn't deserve to see her one last time and say his goodbyes to the woman that save him, the woman he loves the most
Unbeknownst to him Beatrice woke up the moment his tears escape
She knows he is crying because she can feel and hear his heartbeat but she didn't budge and just pretend to sleep as she is feeling and listening to the faltering and rising of his chest while he cries quietly, she wants to comfort him but she can't he'll just tell her it was the usual nightmare, nightmares she knows will never leave him as long as he live, it will haunt him every sleeping hour, every dream of his will be plague of various demons from his past and even his waking hour and that is what she can call hell, a hell he can only see and she can't even help him cope with it
She can feel him calming down until he fell asleep again
An hour later she was awaken by his murmurs of 'Let go, maman, poppa! Help me! Somebody!' He is having a nightmare she knew has taken a root in reality, she holds his head on her chest as she adjusted, so this time he can hear her heartbeat, so at least he can feel someone is there for him even if he is temporarily trap in his own hell, a hell he didn't even deserve but was thrust into him
She has to wonder for someone who went through that he is a strong man and he grows up to be a gentle and kind-hearted man she know when he could have despise the world and everything in it because he has every right to
But she is glad nevertheless he turns up like this despite the cruelty of the world around him
She fall asleep holding him close to her heart as he calm down
Inside Dante's nightmare only one voice didn't torment him and it was a voice he was familiar with the most, comforting him, reaching out to him, he knows that voice as that voice seems to chase away all of his demons in his own hell
It was Beatrice's, his wife's voice that chase them away.
