Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

THE CRUEL FACE OF THE WORLD

Demitry’s P.O.V.

I didn’t know what exactly I was doing with Mariam. I was never so confused before as I am now. I agreed with her every demand as if that was the last thing for me to do. She was everything that made me afraid of her. I had dragged her in a deep hole with me and now there was no way back for either of us. She didn’t know what she agreed with when she signed that agreement. She had to be my wife in the eyes of the rest of the world for the next three years. She didn’t hesitate and signed the document. She didn’t know anything about me, about my family, about my past, about my enemies. She knew nothing.

The whole night I watched her sleeping in my embrace peacefully. I had noticed that she never had nightmares whenever she stayed in my embrace. She always screamed in her nightmares almost every night. Even in the hospital, the nurses told Dexter that they had heard her screaming so many times and every time they found it difficult to wake her up. She was comfortable in my and Dexter’s presence only. I can say that after that incident, she was only familiar with me and Dexter and that made her believe in us for her safety.

I came out of my stance when my phone started ringing again. I furrowed my brows when I saw the caller ID. “Speak”, I commanded the person on the other side. “Your grandfather is celebrating his 70th birthday. He has asked for you to come with your wife”, the person informed me and I pursed my lips into a thin line. I was sure that grandfather would have invited him also. “I will be there”, I said in a cold tone, and then hung up. It seemed that it was now time to introduce Mariam as my wife to everyone. I had already received the marriage certificate. She didn’t know about that. She was going to be discharged by this evening. I had already instructed Dexter to pick her up from the hospital and settle her down in the next room to mine in my villa.

“Why I don’t have any knowledge about your wife?” I looked up and saw my sister and CFO of my company, Rehaana frowning at me. I smiled and crossed my legs lazily. “You will see her soon”, I said and she huffed. “For God Sake, I am your sister, Demitry. At least I should know about her before anyone. She said annoyingly and I only shook my head. “She will be at the villa by evening today”, I told her and she raised her brows in surprise. “What?” she asked and I moved my shoulders while pursing my lips.

“Is she the one?” she asked me after a while in a low tone and I nodded. “Did you talk to her about that?” she again asked me and this time I sighed aloud. “No… I haven’t”, I said in a low tone and she narrowed her eyes on me. “What are you saying, Demitry? How on earth then she signed the agreement?” she almost yelled at me. “This is the problem here, Rehaana. Her trust in me was so strong that she signed the agreement without any hesitation. She didn’t know a thing what she had signed”, I told her everything truthfully. The only thing that Rehaana didn’t know about Mariam was about her k********g and then what she went through.

“Are you sure that she is different from others?” I looked at her blankly because of suspicion laced in her voice. “I am sure, Rehaana. She is the first woman after you who is not afraid of the scar on my face”, I told her and she jerked her head backwards in surprise. “Really?” she asked me again and I nodded while blinking lazily. She looked in the other direction and I could see the amazement in her eyes. It was really a big thing for us because no woman came near to me without showing any fear. Mariam was the first woman who not only looked at me with love and admiration without any hint of fear, but also liked to stroke that scar on my face.

“I heard that Oliver and Sasha are together now”, I heard Rehaana’s voice again. I scoffed and then played with my phone on the table. “They suit each other”, I said with disdain in my voice and she nodded in agreement. “Will you be comfortable in her presence?” she asked me again and I now looked at her annoyingly. “I don’t see any problem here. Moreover, Mariam will be with me”, I told her and she took a deep breath. “I guess…. I have a lot of work to do until grandpa’s birthday”, she said with a sigh and I smiled again.

“I have to do something else. I am going back to my room”, she said and then stood up. She went out of the room and I leaned back on my chair and put my head on the edge. I knew that my cousin Oliver never had good intentions towards me. He was trying to sabotage me for a long time. He was the one behind that accident but didn’t succeed in his plan. He snatched Sasha from me only to break my heart but he didn’t know one thing. I am not one easy to mess with.

My attention went to my phone again when it started vibrating again. “Speak”, I said to Dexter after taking the call. “I am taking her to the villa, Sir”, he informed me. “How is she?” I asked him in a straight tone. “She is a bit disappointed that you are not here but didn’t throw any tantrum”, he said with a chuckle and that made me chuckle too. “Inform me after settling her in her room”, I said and then hung up the call. I took a deep breath and looked at a blank spot in front of my eyes. She was completely different from Sasha. She was not as beautiful as Sasha is but she has a beautiful heart that Sasha lacked.

I heard a knock on the door and asked the person to come in. My secretary came inside and greeted me. “Here is the list of the persons that he contacted after coming back”, she put down the file on the table and stood up straight in front of me. across the table. “What is the status on shares?” I asked her after taking the file from the table. “You are still the highest shareholder, Sir…. But we need to work on this very soon”, she said in a professional tone. “I will see what we can do here”, I said to her in a flat tone while reading the file. I smirked when I read the name of the people who were now going to stab me on my back.

“Bring me a cup of coffee, please”, I requested her and she nodded before going out of the room. This world can’t change its way to deal the things. I had already predicted the names in my mind who would go against my back and I was absolutely right about them. I took the phone from the table and dialled a number. “I need the list of the project that our company all over the world is doing with the company’s name in collaboration”, I instructed and then put down the receiver back to its place.

Before they do anything against me, I need to show them who the boss is here. I knew they called me heartless and ruthless and now it was the time to show what I am truly. I then dialled Rehaana’s number. “How much amount are we paying to old hags and their shits?” I asked her and she replied immediately. “Bring the details to my office”, I instructed her and then cut the call. I looked at the watch and frowned. I wanted to go back home and see whether Mariam is comfortable there or not but couldn’t go because of work that I had in my hand. I hoped that she understood this. She knew that but she didn’t know about what I really hold in my hands.

I heard a knock on the door when I was reading the file that my secretary had given me before. I asked the person to come inside. The door opened again and the director of operations, Mr Scott Winston came inside with a file in his hands. “Good evening, Sir”, he greeted me with a smile on his lips and gave me the file after coming near to my table. I signalled him to sit down and opened the file. “Terminate all the contracts with Blue Sky & Company with the immediate effects”, I instructed him after a while. “Also, informed Preistein, Kimberley, Johnson’s, and Miller’s that we are not renewing our contract with them. Draft the invitation for the news bids for those projects”, I instructed him again and he nodded.

“What about Smith’s and Brown’s, Sir? Their contracts with us are going to expire in the next two months”, he informed me and I nodded. “Tell the PR to spread the news that we are thinking about inviting the new bids for those projects”, I said and then put down the file on the table. He noted down everything in his notepad and nodded. “I will send you the draft before leaving the office today”, he said and I nodded. He then stood up from the chair and bowed a little in front of me before going out of the room. I knew that it would create a chaos in the next few minutes and that was what I wanted to do right now. I got a message from Dexter that they had reached the villa. I smiled and then think about something.

I immediately logged in to the spy system of my villa and looked for her. No one knew that there was a camera inside her room through which I could see her any time. I saw her running in the room in amazement and then she lay down on the bed in the end after Dexter left her alone in the room. She was looking so amazed and happy. She took my photo from the nightstand where I instructed Dexter to put down my photo in a frame for a reason. To be honest, I still didn’t trust what she said. I saw her talking with my photo and then she leaned and kissed my photo. My heart started racing again and suddenly I felt jealousy. It was ridiculous, but I was jealous of my own photo right now. She put down the photo on her bed and lay down beside it after hugging the photo gently and putting her head near the photo frame. Was I doing the right thing by dragging her into my world?
