The Light In The Dark Chapter 40

When Emily opened her eyes it was very late. She stretched her body and placed her hand beside her in search of her dear husband. But she didn't felt anyone. She immediately gets up and looks here and there in search of Ryan. But couldn't find him. She strode towards the washroom but couldn't find him thereto. "Where he is? I think, he must be downstairs?" Emily thinks and moves out of her room in search of Ryan. In the living room, Ryan, Daniel and Andrew all are sitting in the living room and discuss about something. "Did your man find something?" Andrew said. "No, I couldn't find anything. May be he again went back to his secret place. What about you did you get any information about him?" Daniel said and questioned him back. "No I tried to track his location but didn't get any clue," Andrew replied. Ryan was the one who is very silent in the whole process. He didn't say anything and just sat there thinking about something in his mind. "Ryan, what are you thinking?" Both said in unison. Ryan then looked towards them and said, "It's just not a coincidence." "What? What, not a coincidence? What are you talking about?" Daniel asked him in confusion? "Daniel I already told you about the letter from that anonymous person. He dared to give a warning to Love and now he is back. Don't you think something is fishy? I know my father very well he is just a fool who uses power over the brain. But this time he is playing games. He comes to Emily's college just to threaten me. I can clearly say that the car didn't have any attention to kill her. They are just there to threaten me. Someone must be helping him. Otherwise, he didn't play around like that." "You are right, Ryan. This was not his style. He is not the person who plans and play games according to it. He must be planning something big and someone must be helping him," Daniel said while thinking deeply about it. "Then Ryan you must be alert because that person must know you and sister in law very well and....." Andrew was saying something but hearing some footsteps sound. Ryan immediately understood who is it? And signalled  Andrew to stop. Receiving his signal Andrew immediately become shut and looks towards the stairs. Ryan immediately got up from his seat and walk towards Emily. "Love, did you slept well?" He said lovingly and hugged Emily in his arms. Emily just nodded her head and sniff her head in his chest. She didn't know that someone is already present in the living room. She just closes her eyes and inhales his scent which makes her heart calm. She is still scared about today's accident and just wants to be in his arms to make herself calm. She just closes her eyes and hugged him. "How can he love me so much that he sacrificed himself for me. If that car hit us then Ryan is the one who is in danger more than me. He blocked me with his own body. Why hubby why you love me so much?" She thinks and just placed her head on his chest, hearing his loud heartbeat she immediately felt relaxed. Today, she saw the love of Ryan towards her. He can easily do anything for her. Even can sacrifice himself and these thoughts make Emily scared but on the other hand she is feeling warmed too that someone is here who loves her so much. Ryan warmly looks down at his little wife who tugged her tightly in his embrace and closed her eyes. He saw her act and immediately understood that she is not going to let him go. So he picked her up and take her to the living room where Andrew and Daniel were there. He placed Emily on his lap and kiss on her forehead. Today accident also makes him restless but after seeing her face and hugged her tightly in his arms, his mind immediately calmed down. Seeing their lovey dovey act. Andrew immediately wants to vomit blood and think," how can someone be so cruel. Ryan knows that I didn't have any girlfriend and he is here showing his PDA and gives us dog food." "Can't you just go into your bedroom if you are not able to leave each other even for one second? We are single here and you are here give us dog food." Andrew said while rolling his eyes. Hearing the sound Emily immediately open her eyes and looked towards another side to know who is there! She looked towards them. And again close her eyes. "Sister in law, now you know we are here still you are sitting on your husband's lap. Don't you feel shame?" Andrew said after seeing that Emily ignored them. "Why I need to feel shame? I am sitting on my husband, not someone's else man. So why I need to feel like that?" Emily said looking towards Andrew still sitting on Ryan's laps. Hearing Emily's reply a big proud smile appears on Ryan's mouth and he doesn't know what to do with his little cute wife? She never leaves a chance to make him amazed. He likes whenever she shows her love in front of others. He can't control himself and give a loving peck on Emily's lips. "You are so cute, love." Emily face flushed red hearing his words and Ryan chuckled seeing the reaction of her towards his touch. "Oh, come on man can't you just leave a single like me. I am feels vomited seeing your public display of affection. Can't you just control your desire for one's?" Andrew said but nobody gives any focus on his words. Emily was still in Ryan's arms and said, "hubby I am hungry?" Ryan smiled and kissed her forehead. "I will make dinner for you. Just sit here for while." Ryan carries her and makes her sit on the couch, gives a peck on his lips and strode towards the kitchen. But he stops in middle and said to the persons who were still sitting on the couch with grumpy faces. "I am only cooking for my wife. If you want to eat come and help me in the kitchen. Otherwise, I am not giving you a single piece." And again moved towards the kitchen. Daniel also joined him and Andrew followed both of them with a heavy heart. He didn't like to cook but now because of Ryan, he has to help him in the kitchen. Otherwise, he didn't get a single piece from Ryan's cooking which is the best in the world. "Ryan that's not fair can't you tell your wife to cook something for us." Andrew said and Ryan looked towards him with his bloodshot eyes. "Are you serious? My wife will do such kind of works." Daniel hit Andrew head, "are you going to piss him off?" "Okay okay, I am not saying anything. Tell me what I do." Ryan passed so many vegetables to him and said, "Go and wash this all vegetables." He took all the vegetables and starts washing them. Daniel and Ryan start cooking. "Ryan I am advising you. Keep an eye on the people around you." Ryan looked towards Daniel and said, "I don't think so. All people around me are very loyal to me and even they know that what will happen if they betrayed me. So I a very much sure that there is no traitor on my side. It must be someone who knows me and Emily very well or....." He stopped in middle and David immediately complete his words. "Or the person who knows Emily very well." They both looked towards each other and gives a shocked looked about what they thinking.
