It's not infatuation, crush or love. It's obsession to have her, own her, be hers. She is all in his mind. He didn't said anything about his feeling to her niether Bloom have any idea about it. He always had his distance between them. But that distance was making his obsession worst.

One fine day he was talking to somebody in his study room. And Bloom heard him saying "You dared to lay an eye on my Bloom." He said but then she heard a sharp painful scream, she peeked through the door and saw zeek stabbing him "How dare you ask her out." "I like her, I'm sorry leave me, I will leave this city and never see her I'll forget everything" the guy spoke crying loudly because, zeek was stabbing him while saying speaking. "Yeah, like and love both are different but boy she's Bloom and I consider like and love same. I killed my friends because they knew my plan and they could have snatched my Bloom from me, so who are you next to them. Nothing." He broke his arm and told his gaurds to take him in his session room (a room where he put every enemy of his and torture them, he call that session because he train his newbie guards how to be merciless, he has a session with them, where he shows devileous side). And tie him upside down. Bloom witnessed everything and she saw guards coming towards her. She immediately hide herself and when guards walked out she came out, she was numb with the truth she just learned. All this time she thought he was helping her but.....

She was trembling with fear of what really happened that night.

A hand tapped on her shoulder, she looked behind and there he was standing with straight posture hands in his pockets. She stumbled on her place and he grabbed her waist. She jerked his hands off from her and looked at him dead. "You heard it, didn't you?" Zeek said , Bloom looked at him with her big eyes scared of what he will do to her. "Look, now when you finally know my truth. Let's seize your mouth then". He said smirking as if he the thought of seizing gives him an another kind of satisfaction, he looked at Bloom she was terrified and nodding her head harshly as no. "P-ple-ase le-leave m-me" her state made him angry. He holded his forehead and started massaging it, stepping back he saw a vase. He took it and threw across the room. She flinched. He started murmuring "this shouldn't be going this way, I didn't planned like this. Why did you heard everything? " He looked at her while saying the last sentence. She was a crying mess and he has restless with the thought of her leaving him. He grabbed his head with both his hand while murmuring "No,no,no,no,no i can't --you can't" he looked at her and came to her with long steps. He grabbed her wrist pulling her out of the mansion, he told her to get in the car and went to driving seat. They wore seatbelt and zeek drove off in high speed, he didn't pulled the break on turns instead drift, not caring about the traffic rules. After a 15 minutes of driving he pulled over at church. Coming out of the car he straight went to open her door taking her wrist and pulling her inside. The mansion from the church is about 25-30 minutes far but his driving almost chopped the half of the time. They went inside, he made her stand at the chancel. He started looking for the father but couldn't find anyone. He then saw a vase filled with flowers, he went their and took some making ring of it. All this time bloom was crying begging him to let her go. But all her crying went in vain because he had lost his mind. He can't afford loosing her at any cost. Suddenly a person came their with a candle, it was father. Zeek saw him and told him to marry them. Father looked at Bloom, he asked if she wants to, and she looked at him her eyes pleading him to help her. The father protested but Zeek pulled out his gun. He threatend him. The father has to agree and he started the ceremony.

"Since you have chosen to enter into the sacred bond of marriage, please join your right hands and declare your vows before God and His Church." The father announced Zeek looked over her and took his vows. "I, Ezekiel Accardo vows to Bloom S. to love you, honor you, and stay true to you

in good times and in bad, in wealth and in hardship, in health and in illness— all the days of our lives, until death separates us."

He squeeze Bloom's hand but she didn't spoke, looked at her dead in the eyes. "I, Bloom S. vows to marry you" she didn't say further the father told them to exchange the rings and zeek gave her the flower ring to her, they exchanged the rings and father pronounced them as husband and wife. "You may kiss now" hearing this her eyes widened but Zeek was calm he took the back of her palm and kissed on it.

Zeek took bloom back to mansion and told her that now she's married to him and can't leave. Bloom yelled at him "i didn't wanted to, i don't consider this marriage." Zeek came and told her to relax and go to her room and take her medicine. She protested so he forcely made her eat them.

Next morning she woke up beside him. His hand was on her waist pulling her closer. There was no gap between them. She pulled her self out, he winced but went back to sleep.

She was in the kitchen, cooking. While thinking about how to save herself from Zeek. She can't go outside alone. Whatever she needs he gets her but never wanted her to leave the house. But then it clicked her and she focused on her cooking.
