Belle's POV

My eyes flicker as I am slowly awakened by small kisses on my forehead. The soft touch of the sunlight is making it hard for me to fully open my eyes to have a clearer picture of what's around me.

"My love....."

Said the familiar soft voice. I inhaled and instantly recognize his scent. It's Artan.

I crinkled my eyebrows in confusion. This man was close to being dead last night. How come he's already awake now? I realized that I'm already in his arms all wrapped around him. He is half naked and a bandage is wrapped around his torso.

When the doctor allowed us to be with him last night, I made sure to be on his side but I could not recall lying beside him in bed.

He cupped my face with his palm and looked me in the eyes. He let's out a naughty smile and spoke, his voice still hoarse.

"I should have known getting shot is what it takes to wake up with you like this." He said while gently rubbing his fingers on my face.

"Artan...you getting shot is not funny."

I moved to step down the bed but I wasnt able to remove myself completely because he instantly grabbed me.

"You know, my pole is kind of waving its flag right now."

My lips parted in disbelief. "Artan!!!!" Oh my god this man!

I heard someone soft chuckle inside the room. When I looked around, I see Dardan, Besian, and Adnan looking at us all amused. I hit him on his chest which made him wince in pain.

"Ahh.." He muttered.

I squirmed because blood instantly soaked the gauze and bandage on his side.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry Artan."

He just smiled and pulled me even tighter towards him but far fom the side where he got shot.

"Artan you should stop straining yourself."

"I will be forced to strain myself if you move. So just don't move baby."

I decided to stop putting up a fight.

"That's better." He said while planting a kiss near my lips.

My palm landed on his face instantly, but his grin just grew even wider. For a man who got shot and almost died, this one looked the happiest.

Artan signalled his men to come to us while his face is near mine.

"You look a hundred percent Boss. I wonder why." Said Adnan who is looking at the two of us with a smile on his face.

Artan softly chuckled and cocked his head to face Adnan. "Am I? Maybe because of this wonderful drug beside me."

Yup the man has completely lost it.

"Boss, we need to talk about what happened." Said Besian.

"Some other time." Artan replied.
