Chapter 106: Blood Oath

"We have suffered a lot of casualties from their attacks and have lost many men and ships." Xavier added.

Her father frowned, "And you didn’t inform us or ask us for help because..?" He said sternly.

Xavier swallowed, "Well—I—"

Matteo sighed, "We may not like you Americans but that doesn’t mean we will sit back and watch you suffer alone.

We are bonded by marriage alliance remember? My sister is within your care and you think we were going to let some stupid people make her life miserable?"

Beatrix’s eyes widened with shock. She thought they were going to get excited that Damien was sick in the hospital and demanded her to go home back with them.

"At least tell me you have gotten revenge on those stinky Russians. I fucking hate their guts. They dare to harm our future brother-in-law?"

Remo clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with rage.

Beatrix, watched in surprise as her father and brothers react to the news of her fiancé’s injuries. She had expected them to be angry or disappointed, but instead they seem more concerned with seeking revenge against the Russians who had attacked Damien.

"We have been planning our retaliation," Xavier, explained.

"But we wanted to make sure Damien was stable before we took any action. We didn’t want to risk his safety any further."

"Well, it’s good to see that you have your priorities straight," Beatrix’s father said, nodding approvingly.

"But don’t forget that we are a family now, bonded by a marriage alliance. If you need our help in seeking revenge, don’t hesitate to ask. We won’t sit back and watch our future brother-in-law suffer without taking action."

Matteo added.

Beatrix was touched by her family’s support and loyalty. She had always known that they cared about her, but she had never expected them to stand by her and her fiancé like this.

"Thank you, Papa," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I appreciate your offer of help. But for now, I just want to focus on Damien’s recovery. I’ll let you know if there is anything you can do to assist us."

Her father nodded, a proud smile crossing his face. "Of course, my dear," he said . "We will always be here for you and Damien. And don’t worry, we’ll make those Russians pay for what they’ve done."

Beatrix smiled , grateful for her family’s support and love.

Remo raised his brows and leaned against the couch, "If I didn’t know any better I would say that you have fallen in love with the bastard dear sister."

Beatrix froze and a flush spread across her cheeks.

"Well.... he is Damien Niarchos it’s hard not to fall for him." She said, a faint smile gracing her lips

Matteo chuckled at her answer, "Hmm....I see. I think we should pay him a visit at the hospital. We need to give him a list of instructions now that you’re in love with him."

Beatrix rolled her eyes and glanced at her father who seemed to be in a deep thought.

"Papa..." she said quietly.

"You said Damien was disfigured? How badly is it?" Her father questioned.

Beatrix fiddled with her fingers, her heart thumped in her chest.

"He was in a blast papa...his back was burnt and half of his face is disfigured. "

Her father’s frown deepened, "His face is disfigured? Are you sure you want to stay with a disfigured man Beatrix?"

Beatrix smiled at her papa and nodded, "Yes papa. Damien treated me very well and he makes me happy. His face getting destroyed won’t change anything. He is still the man who wakes up every morning to prepare me breakfast because I can’t cook. He makes me smile and even though I’m from a rival family he never once has hurt me." Beatrix said, her eyes flashing a with love and affection for her fiancé.

"Also we are rich, papa. We will find the best plastic surgeon for him once he recovers. And even though he might not be as powerful as he used to I’m going to stand by his side and help him rebuild his empire."

Her father sighed, "I was worried that you might not want to be with him anymore. We are men of our words and it would look bad on us if we took you away because of an accident.

I’m glad that you have decided to stay by his side. The kid needs someone now more than ever. He has been through a lot."

Beatrix beamed at her father as her eyes welled with tears. She felt embarrassed that she had doubted her family.She knew how much her happiness meant to them.

"I was afraid you were going to ask me to return home with you because Damien wasn’t as powerful as he used to."

Matteo sighed, "We can’t do that princess even if we want to. We take blood oaths very serious in our syndicate. The agreement we signed with Damien was by a blood oath.

The bastard knew what he was doing. We use our blood as a fingerprint for that marriage contract. Until he dies he owns you. The only condition where we can take you away is only if he abuses you, harms you or he dies."

"Or we burn that fucking contract." Remo added, his lips curved into a dissatisfied line.

Xavier breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems we underestimated Damien. He had planned everything." He muttered underneath his breath.

Xavier couldn’t help but be in awe of his friend. He was such a calculative bastard. If not how would he even get Beatrix in the first place? How would he even get her to fall in love with him in such a short period?

He just hoped at the end of the day, Damien didn’t make any stupid decisions and hurt himself. His thirst for revenge was what started all of this charade.

But love changes people right? Well he hoped so, really hoped so or a lot of people were going to get hurt.
