Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

HIS CONCERN FOR ME

Mariam’s P.O.V.

“Warrick has applied to remove the stay order from your joint account with him. He said to the authorities that it’s only your mother who claimed that she got a call from you and you are alive. There is no trace of you anywhere else”, I heard what Dexter told me about Warrick. I pursed my lips into a thin line. I still had bandages around my eyes. The doctor told me that in the next two days they are going to remove the bandages. I was excited yet nervous about the outcome of this operation. I didn’t know much about the condition of my eyes before the operation but Demitry said that I would see again and I believed him.

“What does Demitry have to say about this?” I asked him and he took a deep breath. “Sir said that this time you need to make a decision here. It’s all up to you what you want to do now. I have instructions to follow your decision and help you implement them”, he said and I nodded while thinking hard. If Demitry wanted to take a decision on my own in this matter, it meant that he now wanted to see how serious I was about my revenge on them. “Can you find out the number of the manager of the bank?” I asked Dexter after thinking for a while.

“Yes… I can do this… what are you planning to do?” he asked me and I smiled. I could sense the curiosity in his voice. “The manager of the bank knows me well and will recognize my voice immediately. All I need to ask him to transfer an amount to the hospital here. After all, I got injured and am taking the treatment, right? And one has to pay to the hospital for the treatment, right?” I asked him with a small smile on my lips. “This is really a good decision. In the hospital records, your original name is mentioned with all your real details. I am sure that he will be a good alibi for us”, he said in a calm tone and I nodded. “Ask the administrator to raise a request of funds to my bank and then I will talk to him too”, I requested him. “Okay… I will be back in a few minutes. Take rest till then”, he said to me. “Where is Demitry?” I asked him immediately before he could leave my side. If I am not wrong then it would be the fifth day in a row that Demitry didn’t come to meet me.

“He has something very urgent to deal with in the company and in the family as well. He has kept his tabs on your health here too but he would not come here soon”, he said in a calm but stiff tone. I bit my lower lip in anticipation. “Dexter”, I called him after a while as I wasn’t sure whether he was still here or had gone out. “I am here, ma’am”, he said and took my hand when I raised my hand in the air. “He doesn’t want to leave me, right?” I asked him in a bit scared voice. I didn’t know why but I was scared with the mere thought of being abandoned by Demitry. He took care of me when I was blind. What if he leaves me because I get my eyesight back again?

“What? No… this is not the case here, ma’am. You two are already married legally”, he said and squeezed my hand gently. I felt relieved washed over me. I smiled faintly. I knew that I had signed some papers related to our marriage but didn’t know about the registration of our marriage yet. “Don’t think too much, ma’am… it can harm your healing”, Dexter almost scolded me and I laughed this time. “Ok… boss. I will not think too much”, I said in a teasing tone with a wide smile on my lips. “You are teasing me now”, I heard him shrieking and laughed loudly. I was sure that he was blushing. I just couldn’t imagine how he was looking right now. It was really rare to see a grown man blushing like him.

“Okay….okay… I am going to the administration department first. Though we have already paid the whole amount here still there must be some way to make that request”, he said and I nodded. I felt her other hand on my shoulder. “You must rest now. You are sitting for too long”, he said in a gentle and caring tone. He made me lay down on the bed and then covered me completely. “I will be back with your lunch”, he said and then released my hand from his grip. I put my hand back on my stomach. They were strangers yet they took good care of me all these months and never let me feel helpless and alone. I remembered that I had someone all the time when I stayed woke up.

I wanted to talk to Demitry badly. I laughed at myself at my desire to have a conversation with Demitry. When I was with Warrick, I never felt this kind of strong desire to talk with him or held his hand for once that I wanted to do with Demitry right now. I knew that our corporation and marriage was based on revenge from both the sides. There was no love or any kind of affection in our relationship still I wanted to hear Demitry’s voice for once.

“Ma’am”, I came out of my trance when I heard Dexter’s concerned voice again. “What happened? Is everything done?” I asked him while pulling myself up. “I talked with the administrator here. He said that he will make the arrangements and then you can talk to the manager of the bank. I already have got his number”, he told me and I nodded. “C… can you call Demitry?” I asked him hesitantly. “Do you need something?” he asked me immediately and I shook my head. “No… it’s not like that… I just want…forget it”, I trailed and then decided not to trouble Demitry. Dexter already had told me that there was an emergency. So, it would be wiseable not to bother him this time.

“Let me bring your lunch then”, I heard Dexter’s voice again and nodded. I played with my fingers while thinking about the time we passed together. I still remembered that kiss. I didn’t know why Demitry kiss me but that kiss was imprinted in my mind permanently. He was gentle in the beginning and then became passionate. I felt myself melting down in that kiss. He was holding me as if I would break if he put a little pressure on me. I felt his protectiveness and possessiveness in that kiss. “Ma’am”, I heard Dexter’s voice again. “Why are you zoning out so frequently today?” he asked me in a concerned voice. “Uhhhh… it’s nothing…. I have nothing to do but to think… I am really bored now”, I said and pouted. He laughed and by some sounds, I could say that he was preparing the food tray for me.

“Finish your lunch first and then sir wants to talk to you”, he said and my spirit immediately lit up. “Really?” I immediately asked him in a hopeful voice. “Yeah… I got a call from him when I went to fetch your lunch. He asked me about you and told me to call him after you finish your lunch”, he said and I immediately cheered up. “Okay”, I said in a happy tone. “Let me feed you then”, he said and I nodded. He started putting the food in my mouth. There were so many questions in my mind about Demitry and his background but I knew that Dexter would not tell me anything. I already had this idea that Demitry belonged to a powerful and wealthy family but other than this, I had no idea about him.

I eagerly finished my food without making any fuss. I was not picky about the food but I was really bored having the hospital food for a long time. I wanted to eat something spicy and greasy for the sake of my sanity. I almost forgot the taste of burgers, pizza, pasta and the list was long. After I wiped my mouth with the tissue and drank some water, I waited for Dexter to call Demitry. “Here…. Hold this”, I heard his voice and then he put down something in my hand. I could say that it was a phone. I immediately put the phone on my ear. “Demitry”, I called in a low tone. “What is it with this long face?” he asked me in a calm but cold voice.

I pouted again and then answered him, “I only missed you. Are you really so busy?” I asked him in a soft tone. There was silence on the other side for a few seconds. I chewed my lips furiously. For a moment, I thought that he had hung up and it broke my heart. “I will be there when they will remove the bandages. You still remembered your promise, right?” he asked me in a calm tone but I could feel the tease in his voice. I blushed harder and lowered my head. “Just be here that day…. I want to see you first”, I said in a soft tone again. “I will be there… don’t think too much… everything will be okay”, he said and I smiled at his concern for me.
