Chapter 49
Stephen’s Pov
I was at the height of indignation all the time when I was rubbing the ointment on my wife’s body. I want to kill that bastard with bear hands. Cursing him for what he had done to my Flower, I got down the stairs to my study. I made a series of phone calls to the police at various heads. My family is a strong benefactor of them so they will make sure not to invoke my black eye. ‘I want to see that asshole behind the bars within 24 hours.” I squealed at the police officer at the other end of the telephone. After an hour long conversation I had with the highest police officials, I got the fucker right behind the bars finally to inhale a sigh of appeasement.
After the retrenchment of Vincent from my firm, I will make sure no company employs him on a future date even after his release from prison- my angered self resonated within the calm walls of the palatial room. With everything now settled I went upstairs to have a watch on my ‘Flower’.
I fed her a plate full of pancakes today morning in order to relieve myself that she is not hungry anymore. It is lunch time and she is still sound asleep. My Flower is very tired because of yesterday’s course of events. I grunted thinking of what happened to her yesterday. The anger doesn’t seem to wave off at any cost.
I went down the stairs and quickly prepared lunch for her. I wanted to cook for her all by myself. I took her lunch to the bedroom and fed her the food in small morsels. Her soft lips touching my fingers were giving me goosebumps all through my body. Sweet Jesus! How long will I be able to control myself? While feeding her, I noticed she had a little bit of fever. She is sick and that troubled me. I gave her medicine and allowed her to sleep till dinner.
After a few hours….
My Flower was looking like an angel with her long hair sprawled across the bed. While sleeping, she is so cute with a tiny pout on her lips. I made her eat dinner that I prepared for her. Her cute pink lips were attracting me as though challenging me of my willpower to stay controlled. I want to devour her now itself. But it is not the time. She is not well. After having my dinner I slept beside her only in my sweatpants bringing her to me. She snuggled more into me, feeling me and brushing her hands on my hairy chest.
I inhaled heavily for the sweet sensations she was giving me. I brushed her hair off her face and gave her light kisses all over. I held her cheeks in my rough hands and kissed her lips. When my lips brushed hers she fluttered her eyes open glancing at me surprisingly. ‘I love you” I whispered to her and moved down her neck giving her soft love bites.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Our bodies were radiating heat, infuriating the love we had for each other. Both of us became breathless within a few moments panting for the touch of each other. The moon light peeping through the window into the dark room was helping no better than igniting the fire in both of us. I got on top of her kissing her and feeling every part of hers on me. My slightly grown stubble was pricking her and she complained ‘you are pricking me” whining like a cute child. I chuckled at her innocence, kissing her more and heard her begging me for sex. I slightly raised my head amazed with her reaction and put a finger on her pink lips. ‘Flower, it’s not sex that I have with you. I only love you.” I corrected it as though I was explaining something to a kid.
I cannot deny my Flower in any way. She was pleading with me for love. Satisfying her every desire is my ultimate pursuit. In an instant I undid her bottoms and my pants and entered inside her. My hands slowly moved all over her body assimilating every part of her. She pulled me closer by my back and inhaled deeply with satisfaction. I gave her what she required and gratified her. After completion of the deed, she hid her face in my chest smiling slightly with shyness. I raised her head and looked into her eyes. Her eyes met mine and I found tranquility in them. I smiled at her glancing at her lovingly with blitheness. The serenity that both of us were experiencing, something we could get only with the presence of the other was unmatched.
I brought her back to my chest. Her creamy soft breasts had pointed nipples which felt that she was equally aroused as me and I felt that extremely enticing. I told her how much I love her.
And finally letting my guard down, I held out the truth. ‘Flower, listen to me carefully. I never wanted to lie about getting married, but I was frightened, you would never marry or see me, once you know the truth about your parent’s death. I know I acted like a head weighted scumbag with my eyes blinded with pride of money. But I did not know who you were at that time.”
She was looking at me with no emotions and my pressure kept rising on what she was thinking of me. “I thought of you only as another deal and offered you money for the loss of your parents which is unforgivable. I apologize and if it makes you anywhere happy I want to inform you, I lost my only brother too in the accident. By the time I came to know everything regarding your identity, the damage was irreparable. Everyday I suffer a guilty man’s death for turning your life disastrous.”
She was still not speaking anything and I thought my heart would burst. As if it would reduce my tension, I rubbed my face with my hands and continued. “Life has not been easy either. I lost the love of my life before I could even confess my feelings. Your father got transferred to a different place.” Her jaw held open at my revelation. But was it the end? I had more to confess.
“Yes I had fallen in love with you from the day you were born. Remember our parents were family friends? I was there when you first opened your eyes in this world to see me from your crib. I was there when you took your first steps, the day when you went to school. I have loved you since the day our eyes met for the first time, since the day I first held you in my arms as a baby.” Every information I revealed was like a shock to her.
But to the heck of it, hell I need to finish this episode today. Otherwise it will eat me alive. “I thought staying away from you would allow me to restore my sanity. But you kept knocking on my door first in the car kiosk and then in my office.”
“One has to suffer the sins he has committed and there is no escape from nature.” That was the first sentence she spoke to me in repugnance. “Do you think I planned everything regarding the situation we are in today? It is my destiny to meet you at the car kiosk and again in your office.”
I only nodded, I understood she was the one who suffered and is suffering till date. I try to rectify the situation but this is going the wrong way. Thus I came straight to the point. “Merlyn whatever happened has happened in my ignorance of not knowing you and unfortunately I cannot modify the past. But I have loved you since the day you were born. I regret my way of talking to your uncle and blackmailing him, who is a father figure in your life. But in my support I have only one statement to confess. I cannot afford to lose you in any way and the only option I was left with was to marry you, by hook or by crook. I never wanted to cheat upon you. That is why I expressed every truth behind the accident to you in detail once I married you. Flower, I love you so much.” I spoke with sincerity. ‘Please do not run away from me.” I pleaded.
‘I cannot breathe. You are my addiction that I keep running after you.” I looked at her and exhaled and got myself relieved of holding the breath all the while which I never noticed I did all through my confession.
After a while I continued, ‘I tracked you within a week you left New York. Also, getting a job in my company was part of the plan.” Her eyes zeroed at me processing what I just said. She was completely puzzled by what I just blurted out. But I continued I cannot keep her in darkness any more. ‘My love for you has always been honest, Flower.” I declared. ‘That is why I drove to the hospital and expressed everything to your Uncle before our marriage.” Once I mentioned her uncle, her eyes went wide and she looked ahead of me. Her eyes were staring at the oblivion as though processing the things which I just said. I gave her time to think about everything but made sure I was feeling her all the time. She nodded her head to my great relief accepting what I just let out. And after a while both of us were welcomed into the dark world.
