60 Chapter 60: Gone Again (1/2)

Hearing her say those words was like taking a bullet. Watching her cry and try so hard to get away from me made my heart shatter.

”Kazmaria, please don't tell me that you think that's true. You know that i'd give my life for you.”

She stops fighting me and wipes her face,

”I can't do this anymore Ricardo...I think I need-”

”Stop. Don't say it, please.”

My voice cracks as I beg her.

”They took you from me Kaz. They knew that Yoyo and I were still a little unsure of each other but you were the common denominator between us.”

I pull her as close to me as I can,

”You remember Lucy right?”

”Mhm.”

”Well her and your mo- er uh, the woman in white have been working together to drive me up the fucking wall. She wanted to get you back, she wanted to gather a new batch of assassins.”

”But Ricky,”

She turn around and faces me. Her curly hair is pulled up into a messy bun and her eyes are red and puffy,

”I just don't think I can do any of this. I can't.”

'Her body is shaking, is she scared of me?'

”You won't have to baby,”

I softly kiss her her lips and look her in the eyes,

”For your own safety I asked Yoyo to take you in and he agreed. I love you Kazmaria, and I never wanna see you hurting again...that's why you should just go with him.”

Her expression changes,

”What?”

She pushes me off of her,

”Why would I wanna leave? If what you're saying is true, then I wanna stay.”

”W-what? You can't be serious.”

She puts her hand over her stomach and looks at me.

”It's true, isn't it?”

She slowly nods,

”I don't want our baby to not have a father. I want to be a family Ricardo.”

I pick her up and embrace her.

”I'm a dad. I'm a dad!”

She hugs me back, but I let her go,

”But I think it would be best of you left. This is no life for a pregnant woman.”

”You're asking me to give up my life Ricky! How am I supposed to do that?!”

”You're not giving anything up! You're beginning a new life! One with you're real family.”

”You are my family Ricky, you're my husband!”

'It's for her own safety.'

”No Kaz, I was. We can't be together, not if I wanna keep you safe.”

”You don't get to decide that Ricky! I can handle myself-”

She suddenly bends over while holding onto her stomach,

”Kaz!”

I rush to her side and help her sit on the bed,

”This is exactly what i'm talking about. I love you Kazmaria and I want nothing but the best for you and this baby, but we both know that if you stay i'll only be endangering the both of you.”

”But what about what I want?! For 19 years I was in a cult, brainwashed into thinking that insane woman was my mother! It wasn't until I met you that I ever truly felt happy...i've been through so much shit, both mentally and physically but all I want now, is to be with the one I love.”

”Please Kaz, this is way more complicated than you think. I'm just trying to be reasonable.”

”Por favor, Ricardo, ya no puedo soportar la idea de estar sin ti. Estoy cansado de estar tan solo,”
