Chapter 59 - I'll protect you

Tristan smiled lightly when he heard her question. It was a sign that she's willing to talk it out and he was grateful. He wouldn't force her if she doesn't want to say anything but this makes things easier. He caressed her slight chubby cheeks and pinch lightly.

"Were you there when i called you? And when i was there?" Thinking about the abandoned warehouse, he doesn't seem to be happy about it. She knew she was pregnant at that time and the place is not suitable for pregnant woman like her. He couldn't help but frowned a little bit.

Alicia who was staring at his reaction the entire face was nervous when she saw the frown. She quickly pacify him.

"Hubby, i know my own body and i'm not that delicate. My child shouldn't be that fragile as well. Plus, i'm a doctor. Despite how crazy i am, I still know the precaution that i should be taking. It was inevitable that day. You were beating the clean up team. They were innocent people." She had to pointed that out. They had just reached the base only to be called back due to The Princes of Hell interference. Thankfully they didn't have to fight them. Except for Farrah who end up beating up Aaron, Jason and Zack.

"You weren't supposed to be there in the first place. Grandfather said so."

"That...you can consider it was my last time to rebel against Master. Heeeee..." She grinned mischievously. He flicked her forehead one more time before rubbing it gently when she complained that it hurt. He was helpless against her.

"Did you know Ralph were looking for you back then?" He asked since it seems like a detailed plot especially coming from her. The only disturbing thing was she was only a small little kid back then. It was no wonder his grandfather decided to hide her within Googol.

"He was being nosy at that time. Including your grandfather."

"You were about to create a war back then." He stated. She rolled her eyes as if it didn't matter.

"Then the rich shouldn't flaunt their money needlessly. If they have a lot of money and don't know what to do with it, why not give some to the poor. Share them. Give them jobs despite their social ranking nor their education. Why bother suppressing the poor? Why bother to be envy towards them when they have everything? I'm just giving them the taste of their own medicine. They were so scared of being poor that they nearly cause a war themselves. Tsk..." She scoffed when she remembered the reason she started to attack the so called rich people in the whole country including every ministers that are corrupted. She saw the unfairness happen in front of her eyes where the authority bow down to people who have more money even though the other person was innocent. And her being treated badly by her rich father and stepmother, it gave her another reason to do so. She didn't regret it one bit. She just considered herself the modern Robin hood.

Tristan who heard his wife reasoning went speechless. He could imagine the hard time that she gave his grandfather back then.

"You do realize that they are some good people out there who's innocent in this matter."

"Uh huh... As if i'll believe that. Tell me, did you never put pressure on someone when they offended you?" She asked. He went silent.

"See... It's the same thing. The way poor people see it, the rich are bullying the poor. The one who held more power can easily says it's black when it's not." Alicia continued seeing Tristan unable to answer her question.

Tristan felt helpless. He knew what his wife said was true. And it was in fact true that anyone who held more power or money can easily ruled the world. He learnt all of that throughout his survival in trying to lead a company to another level. It wasn't easy but he made it.

"Do you still them as bully now that you're part of the society?" He asked.

"Which part of me is in the society?" She sneered. Looking sideways at her husband.

"You do realize that you're married to one of the three aristocrat family in the country?"

"So what? It doesn't mean i won't dare to challenge them. Just like right now." She said while she tap the enter button on her keyboard. It wasn't long he could hear his phone ringing and he looked at his wife suspiciously. Alicia only grinned and continue to sit on his lap like nothing happen.

Tristan picked up the call and almost cursed out when he heard the other party panicking voice. It was all because the sudden drop of the shares that start to happen in the whole country causing other businessman chaos and their company on the verge of bankrupt. He eyed his wife who just smile sweetly at him before pinching her waist lightly. Warning her to fix the problem with his eye. She rolled her eyes at him before she type another string of code on her laptop and click enter. Not long, he can hear his assistant sighed with relief as if the world has come to peace. He hung up the phone and just stare at his unruly wife.

"Fine. I won't do that again. Tch,,,rich people are so scared of being poor. Dare to bully others but doesn't dare to get bullied." She muttered all her complaints. Not bothering to lower her voice at all.

Tristan had to massage his forehead when he finally realize the situation that he's about to face. Just like his grandfather, he might end up banning his wife using her laptop.

"You can't banned me. I need it for work. Or there's no telling what i'm about to do with the findings that i got today. I can't leave things unfinished." As if she could see what's Tristan was thinking, she had to warn him. Tristan squinted his eyes on his wife. No one dare to threatened him and got away with it. No one even dare to utter such. Only his wife would dare to do so. And he knows he can't do anything about it. Plus, he's not going to let his wife do something dangerous like last time. Even if she can handle it, his heart wouldn't be able to be at ease. But her, sitting leisurely in front of the laptop and staying at home doesn't mean she's safe from creating trouble. He knew the risk of being someone who had her intelligence and can easily crippled a country. They are wanted everywhere in the world. Having someone like her is like obtaining the world deadliest nuclear weapon. Probably more than that.

"I won't stop you but that doesn't mean i'm letting my wife to be in danger. I married you because i want to live until we grow old together. Until our last breath. Let me protect you. Let me be the one in the front line. Don't you have me now?" He asked as he rubbed her shoulder gently.

"But you'll be in danger that way. I too, want to live with you until our hair turns white. Until our last breath." She said softly.

"Are you looking down on your husband?"

She shook her head. She knew his capability. As Lucifer, no one will be able to match him. And with the addition of other Princes of Hell, it will be like a nightmare. She knew she could trust him. And she knew he's more powerful than her in terms of fighting skill. She was just someone who happen to have high IQ and could easily grasp any skills within short amount of time. But that is not her forte. She was better in hacking and no one can outplay her. And truthfully, she wanted to live her life normally. She made that decision after marrying Tristan. With the incoming addition in the family, she wanted to make that life came true.

"I can't promise you everything because when it comes to you, i don't know how i will react. You are my home. A place where i come home and relax in your warmth. And i can't lose this home. In other words, you're irreplaceable for me. Just like those whom i recognize as family and friends. Even if i believe in your ability but when there's danger arise where i have to intervene, i hope you can forgive me for being stubborn." She said after awhile. She was staring at his dark eyes that gave her the warm feeling and it makes her comfortable just looking at it. Behind those dark eyes, it only reflected how much this person loves her and cherish her in his life. Despite having to know him for only few weeks or month, he became her other half.
