My Love, My Obsession

"Your bright smile left me in a daze,

Now you just need to enter my maze

You don't have to worry my sunshine,

With me you'll be absolutely fine

Be my lifeline now, save me from this dark flood

Either come to me yourself Babe,

'Cause for you I won't mind shedding BLOOD"

(Flashback continued)

Knight Training Centre, America

"So you're gonna marry that kid? Have you lost your mind Xavier?"

Sebastian spoke calmly but his tone was laced with anger. Xavier ignored his words and kept doing push-ups.

Xavier along with Black Swan members Noah, Sebastian and Elijah were doing workout. The owner of the centre was none other than Andrew Knight but as to not get suspicious, he named it after him not the gang.

"I don't understand what's so wrong in it. Our Xavier loves her so let him marry the girl of his choice. It's not a crime by the way"

Elijah spoke in his defence.

"What are you saying Elijah? It's not about us but do you think Mr. Knight will agree to this marriage? He had already planned to marry Xavier with Stella, daughter of Mr. Marco Lombardy. Moreover, this Rosaline Browns doesn't belong to a Mafia family. She won't be able to adjust in this world"

Sebastian replied in a worried tone. But he got surprised when Xavier smirked after hearing his words.

"I don't want her to adjust even. I only want her to be mine"

Elijah and Sebastian looked at him in shock.

"God this kid. Noah, why don't you say something?"

Sebastian sighed in defeat while massaging his forehead.

"What is left to say now? He has totally gone insane"

Noah growled while blowing a hard fist on the punching bag.

"What do you mean he has gone insane?"

Sebastian looked at him with baffled expressions. Elijah was also looking at Noah and Xavier back and forth as he was also confused with his words.

Noah then exhaled a deep breathe. He shot Xavier a glare who was busy doing his workout ignoring their burning gazes and then walked to both of them.

"Come with me"

With that he started leaving the room. Sebastian and Elijah looked at each other and followed him.

Noah took them to the basement. The place was too dark and they were finding difficulty in descending the stairs.

"Where are you taking us Noah?"

Sebastian muttered in an irritated tone.

"Just keep moving"

Noah replied nonchalantly. He then led them to a room. It was locked.

"It has a passcode"

Elijah said while staring at him confused. Noah nodded. He then pressed some keys and the door got unlocked.

"What the- You know the password?"

Sebastian looked at him in surprise. Noah again nodded.

"What is it?"

Noah then opened the latch and entered the room.

"Rose"

He replied in his deep voice and with that he switched on the lights.

Sebastian and Elijah gaped as the room was so big and spacious. The walls were painted in all black but one wall was painted in golden and was shimmering brightly. But they couldn't see properly as the lights were sporadically flickering above them. Noah then switched on the lamp which was hung on the golden wall. As soon its sparkling rays illuminated the room, their eyes widened as they stared the wall in horror. The golden wall was adorned with....

Pictures of Rosaline.

There were around thousands of pictures of Rosaline hanging on the wall. It was from everywhere, from her home, some from school, some seemed old while some were new. Large red hearts were drawn on all her photos and messages like "YOU'RE MINE ROSE", "SO BEAUTIFUL, MY ROSEBUD", "MY PRINCESS IS LOOKING SO CUTE" and so on were scribbled on them. Sebastian was staring at them horrified when all of a sudden, his gaze landed on a large L.C.D. screen which was hung on the opposite side of the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!"

Elijah shouted furiously while staring the screen with wide eyes. It was the live footage of Rosaline's house where Rosaline could be seen in her room sleeping soundly.

"THIS IS INSANE!! XAVIER HAS GONE MAD OR WHAT?"

Sebastian shouted in pure rage while glaring Noah who was standing quietly at one corner and was staring them silently.

"THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF MADNESS!! NOAH, YOU KNEW EVERYTHING YET YOU DIDN'T INFORMED US ABOUT THIS?"

Elijah blared. Noah sighed.

"I came to know about all this yesterday only"

He replied. Sebastian looked at him in shock.

"YESTERDAY? AND YOU'RE TELLING THIS NOW? WHY DIDN'T YOU DID ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?"

"Because he can't"

All of a sudden, a deep growl echoed from behind. They turned back. Noah huffed in frustration as he glared at the tall brunette who was standing at doorway looking at them with a mischievous smirk plastered on his face.

"There comes the lover boy", Noah gritted in a mocking tone.

There stood Xavier dressed in a white tee with black sweatpants. Beads of sweat adorned his stout figure while his muscles flexed as he pushed his damped black hair back with his right hand revealing his broad forehead.

"Neither Noah nor you can't do anything about this Seb"

His tone had a glint of taunt as he smirked at them while tugging his hands in the pocket of his pants.

Sebastian marched to him and grabbed his shoulder in a tight grip.

"XAVIER! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU LOVE THE GIRL BUT YOU DIDN'T TOLD ME THAT YOU'RE BLOODY SPYING ON HER!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT YOU IDIOT!! HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY?"

He shouted ferociously while Xavier kept smirking at his raging form as if he was enjoying it.

"It's useless Seb, it's too late now"

Noah replied as he tried to pull his hands off Xavier when all of a sudden, he got pulled back by Elijah from behind.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S TOO LATE? HE HAS GONE CRAZY FOR A LITTLE GIRL AND YOU ARE DEFENDING HIM? SO ACCORDING TO YOU, WE BOTH SHOULD KEEP OUR MOUTH SHUT AND KEEP WATCHING HIS DERILIUM LIKE FOOLS!!"

He lashed out at him and then glared Xavier. Sebastian then took a deep breath. He looked at Xavier and spoke sternly.

"Listen Xavier, I don't know what you are up to but I can't support your insane act. Rosaline is just a 16-year-old kid and you're bloody 18. Evoke some fucking common sense in your brain and leave that kid alone"

Xavier's gaze darkened as soon as he heard him but before he could reply, Elijah quickly cut him off in between.

"No Xavier, he is damn right. You need to understand. The love which you are talking about is nothing but a dangerous psychotic obsession. You are just infatuated; you don't love her. And your heinous and disgusting stubbornness will only destroy an innocent's life. Rosaline is just a naive average teenager whereas you are the heir to a MAFIA EMPIRE and that too of the most dangerous gang in the world. You should marry a girl who is just like you- savage, rich and most importantly a gangster. She should be one from our crime world not a fucking kid"

No sooner Elijah finished his sentence, a hard punch landed on his jaw making him land on the wall instantly. He hissed as he felt a sharp pain in his clavicle but before he could recover from the excruciating pain Xavier started throwing rain of punches on his face making him hard to breathe. Elijah fell on the floor as he couldn't bear it anymore while Noah and Sebastian became stunned watching the scene in front of them. As soon Elijah landed on the floor with a thud, they both quickly got pulled off from their trance and pushed Xavier off him who was literally beating him to death. Noah ran to Elijah to check him.

But Xavier was not in his senses anymore. Anger took over his mind and he became blinded with rage. His jaw was clenched tightly giving a perfect view of his razor-sharp jawline and he balled up his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His face was dark and his eyes turned blood-red. He teared Noah harshly away from Elijah and pushed him on the floor. He again hovered over a wounded and bleeding Elijah and continued walloping him.

"HOW DARE YOU!! HOW DARE YOU CURSE MY ROSE!! HOW DARE YOU CALL HER A FUCKING KID! HOW DARE YOU BADMOUTH ABOUT MY PRINCESS! I WILL KILL YOU!!"

He kept punching him ruthlessly while yelling like a maniac. Sebastian and Noah kept pulling him away from Elijah but their strength was incomparable to this beast.

"XAVIER! LEAVE HIM, HE IS OUR BROTHER!!"

Noah shouted while pulling him back.

"I DON'T CARE! HOW DARE HE!! HOW DARE HE!! HOW DARE HE!!!"

With one last blow, Sebastian finally pulled Xavier off Elijah and pushed him back. Noah then ran towards Elijah who was lying unconscious on the floor while covered in a pool of blood.

"Oh My God! Seb, Elijah has fainted. Call the doctor now"

He shouted while picking Elijah from the floor on his shoulders. Sebastian shot a death glare to Xavier and spat in anger.

"SEE, WHAT YOU DID YOU FREAK?"

Xavier glared him back and growled in a dark voice.

"He shouldn't had said that"

He gnashed while glaring him with red eyes. Sebastian shook his head in defeat. He then went to help Noah and both of them carried Elijah outside the room. Sebastian abruptly halted at the doorway and turned around only to see Xavier staring him while breathing heavily.

"Alright if this is what you want then we won't interfere in this matter anymore. Go get your Rosebud but remember one thing Xavier, if you stick with this sick attitude of yours Rosaline will definitely run away from you one day. We can deal with this shit of yours but she won't be able to tolerate it. You will terrify the poor soul with your craziness. You are bloody obsessed with her and your mad obsession will keep on increasing day by day if you don't control yourself. If you want to ameliorate your fate, do change yourself otherwise everything will get destroyed and there will be nothing left for you other than lamenting on your misery"

He spoke in an earnest tone while staring at him softly. Xavier didn't say anything and kept glaring him. Sebastian sighed. He then left the room along with a furious Noah and a bruised Elijah.

Xavier kept staring at the doorway with anger filled eyes. He then shifted his gaze to the screen where he could see his Rosebud sleeping peacefully. Her small figure was draped in a pink duvet. He walked closer to it and took a better view of his Princess. He saw her carefree baby face, her large thick eyelashes tickling her rosy cheeks and her pink lips were parted a little creating a small pout. Seeing her sleeping so peacefully gave him an immense pleasure and serenity. His anger slowly calmed down. A genuine smile crept on his face. He raised his hand in air and started stroking the screen with his fingers.

"Rose did you saw that? For you I hit my brother. This was the first time I went against my own family and for whom? For you love. But what can I do? I can't hear shit about you. I would have cut his tongue too if Seb wouldn't have stopped me today. But his words are still ringing inside my head. Do you think that I am scared Rose? Do you think that his words will evoke a feeling of dread inside me?"

He spoke in a worried tone while caressing her lips.

But all of a sudden, his gaze turned dark. The corner of his lips lifted upwards as he spoke in a deep husky voice.

"Do you think your Xavier is this weak my little Doll?"

A sardonic grin appeared on his face as he started tracing his fingers on her lips.

Although Xavier seemed calm from outside but deep down, he was seething in anger. He was beyond furious. His stark madness to claim Rosaline was burgeoning inside his heart with a tremendous rate with every ticking second. Finally, after finding his damsel, the stout-hearted stallion would no way let anyone come between him and his Princess anymore.

"Your Czar is not a lily-livered jerk that would get scared by such empty threats. In fact, why would I get scared to claim someone who is already mine? Love, do remember one thing, Xavier Knight is not afraid of anyone in this world. I won't hesitate to set the whole world on fire if anyone tries to snatch you away from me. In fact, tomorrow you yourself will come to me Love. You will choose me in front of everyone. Your pathetic friends, those CIA'S bugs will also not be able to do anything"

He chuckled darkly. Xavier then rested his head on the screen and stared at Rosaline's pictures which were displayed on the wall with an eerie smile on his face.

"You also don't have a choice, love. You have to accept me because rejecting me would be an egregious mistake, my love. I don't care about anything nor I need to prove anything to anyone because what I want the most right now is.......

"You, You and Only You"
