Undefiled Queen

Merlyn’s POV

I went to the office at my usual time but noticed some kind of buzz among the staff members.  I found out from Rita the receptionist that the purchase executive Mr Benjamin had been fired from Radiance Industries instantaneously without notice and the reason is unknown.  Everybody saw him getting out of the room of Mr Collomen dripping with sweat and cursing the stars out.  Mr Collomen walked ahead of him completely serious, his aura radiating anger.  But his face was devoid of any expression.  Everybody was flabbergasted by thinking of what might have happened in between the four walls of the CEO’s room but none could dare to speak.

After a few hours….

Though I was completely afraid to face him, I managed to knock on the door with the files that were ready to get his signatures.  I got a serious reply ‘get in’ from the other end of the door. When I heard the devilish voice, with trembling hands, I held the door knob and somehow pooled up all the courage to get into the room.

Seeing me enter, his facial features softened from cold demeanor to a gentle person.  He got off from his seat, held my arms with his hands and looked into my eyes with concern. He asked me ‘are you alright?”  I managed to only nod my head, unable to speak any further but somehow guarded to ask “why did you rusticate the purchase executive.  He sighed while brushing his hair back and spoke nonchalantly. ‘I don’t tolerate discourteousness towards women in my office”.  A small smile threatened my lips, happy to feel that my feelings are considered.

He took the file from my hands and signed at all the required places and again placed it in my hands.  When I was about to leave he said ‘Wait! I need to talk to you.”  I turned and looked into his eyes questioningly.  ‘Sit down.”  He ordered.  When I took my seat, he spoke softly ‘from today onwards, I will drop and pick you up from your college.  I don’t want any other man to lay his hands on you.  You are MINE and will continue to be mine” he spoke with authority.

I did not understand the meaning behind his statement however I would never risk myself questioning him as I now understand what he is when he is angry.

The rest of the day went on fine.  I tried to avoid him in every possible way and tried not to enter his room again at any time of the day.  Just when I was sorting out the files for the next day, I heard the office intercom ring and felt his husky voice boom my ears.  ‘Don’t you want to go to the college sweetheart?”

Oh Sweetheart is it? He is a jerk. I smiled, unable to curtail myself.  I missed his voice.  Sweet heavens, save me from this handsome devil.  I immediately noted the time.   It was already 5 minutes across six.  I packed my bag and was about to jump out of the office when he held my hand.  ‘Didn’t I tell you, I will leave you for college from today?”  I stuttered ‘Sir I… I…. Mmm  I can manage.  I can take care of myself.”  Within seconds his features turned from soft to serious.  ‘I am not here to ask for your opinion but you are here to carry out my instructions.”  Damn his ego.  Mentally scolding myself for arguing with the monster, I simply followed his footsteps and got into his car.  He skipped into the driver’s seat and drove off speedily.

The journey to the college was silent.  None of us were talking but I noticed him stealing glances at me from the corner of my eyes and of course I left no opportunity to check him out.  His coat was gone.  His white shirt was folded up to his elbows.  His strong muscles were poking out of his white shirt.  His hair was slightly disheveled and his eyes were completely focussed on the road ahead.

When the car stopped in front of the college, I was about to get out of the car but he held my arm and his other hand was cupping my cheek. His voice was unquestionably soft unlike his cold demeanor which brought butterflies in my stomach. ‘Flower, please don’t move out of the college until I arrive. Okay?”

I looked into his eyes and felt hypnotized by his turquoise greens. There was a pull in them that drove me more into the oasis and in a stupor nodded to him.  Hearing my affirmation, his eyes turned dark holding my gaze and there was something in them that I was not able to say exactly. They held a different feeling.  A feeling I couldn’t contemplate but I was dying to find out.

What happens when Merlyn finds out the meaning behind those eyes of Stephen?

He had been a gentleman to her without a doubt from the time she got into his car but the question is should Merlyn move on in her life with him dwelling in the words forgive and forget or teach him the lesson of life by locking him up in the prison for killing her parents?

Stephen POV

It was a weekend and I went to the bar with Haynes.  A girl was sitting at the bar counter with a glass of wine and invited me for a dance.  But since Merlyn came into my life, no woman interests me.  Earlier I used to have my own lot of fun time, but not anymore.  Now my mind and body craves for only one person, my beautiful Angel.

She is making me insane.  The more I try to stay away from her to keep my secret, the greater is the pull to go and have her. I just want to go and kiss her roughly.  Passing a day without her was becoming difficult.  I just cannot manage without seeing her.  Today she had no office as it is a Saturday.  So I made a plan to go to her house and see her.  But what should I tell her?  She would be shocked to see me.  She has no college on Saturdays.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I jumped into my Rolls-Royce all set at least to have a look at my gorgeous girl.  I knocked on the door and there she stood completely perplexed by my presence. My eyes trailed her body from top to toe.   She was dressed in a beautiful pink night top and black shorts and her long hair was let loose to her hips.  Sweet Jesus! She is sexily gorgeous.  Her creamy long legs, fuck them.  No Stephen no.  Don’t fuck her.  She might flip and run away from you when you do it right in her uncle’s house.  You are not here to make her frightened.  Remember she has to lead her whole life with you accepting you for what you did to her. You have to solve the problem amicably by gradually bringing light on the subject. My inner voice triumphed.  I kept staring at her.  She had a flawless face and her big blue eyes were boring to me questioningly for the reason I was here.  Wait, Oh no! Her eyes were welling tears.  What made my girl cry?  Was it because of some flirt again who tried to disturb her?  I swear I would kill him with bare hands if he tried to touch my Flower.

Coming back to my senses, I held her face and my other hand moved to a strand of her hair from falling on her face.  Looking into her tearful eyes, I wondered, ‘What makes you cry, Flower?”  I asked her with tenderness.

She sniffed and looked down.  Probably she was trying to hold her emotions.  Baby you need not hide your feelings from me.  I am yours.  I put a hand on her shoulder and made her sit.  Then I looked into her eyes, raised her head and wiped away the tears.  She broke down and began to whimper in my chest.  I felt as though my heart was being ripped out of my body.

‘You know, I lost my parents in an accident more than five years ago.  The only people I have in this world are my aunt and uncle. The doctor told me earlier, my uncle’s treatment would cause a million for which I joined your company but today he informed me there is tissue damage surrounding the wounded place because of time slack. Now the cost of surgery is two millions plus greater time in healing. Working in Radiance industries I could pool up to half million and I require another one and half more in two days. Failing which my uncle wouldn’t be able to walk ever again. She paused and then burst out. My aunt is already on the streets, trying to arrange finance from wherever she can. I want to see my uncle alive.  I am ready to do anything for him.” She was now incessantly crying.

It killed me every day when I came to her house, to pick her up at the college about what happened to her family.  I could only see her brother.  But she would never budge.  She would capably deviate from the topic.  But I am no stupid to not be able to understand it.  I gave her time to open up and here it is!  All her fucked up life like a down pour in front of me.  It disturbed me, why I wasn’t able to retract any information from her while she used to cry secretly in the office trying to hide her tears from everyone including me.

I couldn’t see my Flower any more in such an insatiable state.  I clasped my hand with hers and made her look into my eyes.  I held her chin and spoke, ‘you are mine.  All your responsibilities are mine.  I cherish you for pleasure and pain as well.  So from now onwards don’t hesitate to share your problems with me.  I will take care of the surgery” I assured her.  And with those words said, I sealed her fate with mine.  I grabbed her lips and kissed her passionately.  At first she stilled but later granted an entry to my tongue.  My tongue explored every corner of her mouth.  Slowly her lips began to sink with mine.  Her lips were soft and juicy and I wanted to devour every bit of her.  We were in that blissful ecstasy for a few more minutes and then broke our kiss when we began to pant for want of air.

After the kiss, she looked deeply into my eyes and began to smile with shyness, hiding her face in my chest.  It was our kiss.  Our first passionate kiss after a very long break and I felt bliss supreme.  I smiled back at her looking into her eyes.

The next day we are at the hospital in her uncle’s room. He gave a meek smile looking at her. Later Merlyn introduced me to him and he nodded his head with a soft smile. Thankfully her uncle did not recognize me except for being the CEO of Radiance Industries and the guy who dropped Merlyn back in her home after her journey.

I came out of the hospital room and had this ill feeling at the corner of my heart that I was the sole person responsible for this miserable state of hers.  It bugged me. Just then Merlyn’s aunt arrived with her hands filled with medicines. I offered help and it was the biggest slip I had made. Her brows furrowed looking at me. “You are…”

And my heart stopped beating.
