The Savior Boss
Chapter 23 Revelation

Minty POV

You do know that I do not like surprises Jacob, I said to him as he guided me out on the plane wearing a blindfold.

Patience babe, laughing at my annoyance.

Suddenly we stopped. He slowly remove the blindfold on my eyes.

Italy??? I squealed but he was just there widely smiling. You really do know how to surprised me Jacob. How do you know I love Italy?? How? I heard your conversation with Tanya before.. "Where do you want to travel Minty?"

"Italy, I have never been there. They said there are lots of beautiful places you can go to. If I have the time or maybe Mr. Jackson will give me a day off, Italy would be my first choice amongst all". I heard Minty said to Tanya while they are drinking their coffee.

I kiss Jacob on her cheeks and said thank you.

You know I want more than that lady, Jacob said grinning ear to ear.

Ohh, I will sure to make it up to you.

Just as I was expecting from you, he smirked.

Jacob's driver drop off us at a certain beach you can see on magazines. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

This will be our home for 1 month Minty. I hope you will enjoy he said smirking.

This is really beautiful, I gasped. I checked the interior, it was great. It was designed perfectly for everyone.

I am happy that you liked it. Our things will be arriving any minute now. For the meantime, is there anything you want to do? He asked

Your choice as long as we are together, I said shyly.

Lets go then.

We visited some malls and small stalls selling handmade crafts before we went to the beach walking. I love how the sand touches my feet. There were lights scattered on the place lanterns are hanging around. Jacob, this is beautiful.

Thanks for appreciating. We need this babe kissing the top of my hand as we sat on the sand.

I Know. He lay down where he place his head on my lap. I'm sorry----

Stop Minty. Today, you need to stop apologizing. He glared at me.

Wha---

You always apologized for each thing you are not responsible with. He yelled at me. I just looked at the ocean afraid to look him in the eye.. and that--- he closed his eyes.

What??? I said bringing my eyes to him.

Why do you always look away when I stare at you? Why? His tone was defeated. Would you please let me in babe.

I was taken aback on what he said.

Uhm, my heart is beating fast.

It is---

Can we go back to the beach house? He stared and took my hand slowly as we go back to the house.

I sat on the couch while he sat opposite to me looking at me unsurely of what to do.

I think I need to start from the very start. I was born August 29 to my mom Gracie and my dad. Fast forward, for the next seven years in my life everything were great. My parents were fantastic, but it changed when I got home only to replace police officers scattered everywhere, I choked explaining.

No babe, you---

Its okay. I came to know that my dad almost beat mom to death. Dad was held in custody whole mom was in the hospital recovering. When mom released the charges, we moved from one state to another when dad suspect that he was being followed by police officers. It was this time when he resort to drugs. I was twelve when he started to beat me for no reason. At first, it was just slapping, kicking and hair pulling. He will do it when he wants to or when I have been delayed to do the things he tell. It was that time when mom left and it was the time I got my first scar because dad started to treat me as his experiment. I blinked because tears starts to fall. Jacob come towards me hugging me. Babe, its---

No. I need to tell about this. I said as Jacob nodded. When mom left us, it was just the two of us running and hiding from one place to another. He decided to hunt me down and that is the reason why he throw me on the stairs. I almost got killed. I woke up in a hospital surrounded by detectives and cops, I was sixteen then. I don't know why but it was the time that I told them about everything. It was the best decisions I have ever made. The time that I told them about everything, they went to the house to replace dad but he was already gone. I was eighteen when I received a call telling me that my dad was found and appear in court. After two years of hiding in fear, I went and submitted photos, evidences and other documents to put him in prison.

I looked up to see Jacob was staring..

Would you like to say something? I asked worriedly. He cupped my face.

I love you... I already know about me feelings for a long time. My mouth widely open on what he said.

Of all the things I want him to say, that is the least I am expecting.

I---My voice cracked as I started sobbing.

He put me in his lap while I buried my face in his shoulder. He was stroking my hair which gives me comfort.

Ssh babe sshhh he said softly.

Why do I have to experienced of all it? Why my father did it to me??

Honey please, he will never come back and I will not let anyone hurt you, he murmured.

No! I shouted angrily and I got rid of my dress. Look at them Jacob. Look at them then tell me if you still love me.

He grabbed my wrist.

I love you, he growled. He kissed each scar and I felt guilty about it. I really love you that it scares me a lot. Our noses pressed to each other.

Why cant I tell him that I love him too??

I know I was being coward this time.

Babe, I know you are not yet ready. I will not force you. I just think I need to let it out so that you will know.

Do you know how amazing you are?

Its because I am with an amazing and strong woman.
