Demitry’s P.O.V.
“Just because you want to deal with them on your own, I am not interfering and they are still breathing”, I said in an annoying tone while taking her art supplies from her hand. I was really surprised to see her drawings. She was not only good with cameras but with brushes too. “I know and I am really proud that you are my husband”, she winked at me while having a teasing smile on her lips. We were talking about how she was destroying Warrick and Valerie piece by piece. I wanted to finish them at once, but she was not as ruthless as I. “And you are taking advantage of this”, I was still annoyed because she again insisted on going to her hometown. “No, I am not taking advantage of you. I love you so much”, she emphasized “so” and almost sang that word. I shrank my nose annoyingly and she laughed.
“Don’t talk anymore. Let me take you inside”, I said to her and she nodded. I then called the guards and then we shifted her portable bed cautiously inside the bedroom. The tough part was to shift her from that portable bed to our bed. We all were cautious while lifting her from the portable bed and then cautiously put her on the bed. I immediately put down a pillow under her head and adjusted the position of her bed. She was stiff all this time but her body relaxed after hitting the soft mattress of the bed. She thanked all the guards with a smile and she bowed before leaving the room. “I am going to fetch water and a towel for you”, I said to her and she nodded. I went to the balcony first and brought her supplies inside. I put them in their respective places and then went to the washroom. It was really funny that I took care of her every need on my own. I liked to take care of her and this was the only time when my mind was free of any other worries.
I took the warm water into a basin and took two face towels from the cupboard and went out of the washroom. I had already changed my clothes. So, it was easy for me to clean her without bothering to get wet. I saw her looking out the window. She looked at me when she heard the closing of the door. “You know Layla can also do this, right?” she said in a soft, low voice. I wrinkled my nose in annoyance while glaring at her. I put down the basin near her on the bed where I had placed a plastic sheet before. “I am going to clean you now”, I told her and she nodded. I slowly removed the cover from her body. To make things easy for her, I always put a long t-shirt on her. It was easy to deal with. I slowly and cautiously removed the t-shirt from her body and then started wiping her body. She took one towel and started wiping her upper body when I was wiping her legs and lower limbs. It was sometimes real torture for me to see her fair skin. She has recovered from all her external wounds, even the scars had faded leaving fair smooth skin. “What”, I heard her teasing voice.
I looked at her and the teasing shine in her eyes made me smile. “What do you think, huh?” I asked her in a playful tone while leaving her left toe carefully after wiping it. “I never thought that Mr Demitry Davenport could be a p*****t”, she teased me again and I raised my brows while taking her white tow gently in my hand. “So you are taking me as a p*****t now?” I asked her while wiping her toes and she giggled this time. I put down her toe and then looked at her while narrowing my eyes. The corner of my lips curled up in a sinister smile. “No… don’t you dare”, she immediately raised her voice and my smile widened. I traced a finger slowly and teasingly on her ankle and her body shuddered.
“Dem…. No”, she glared at me and I gave her a sinister smile and she shot daggers at me through her eyes. I teasingly moved my fingers upwards while moving myself also towards her face. “You are really a p*****t. You are taking advantage of a helpless girl?” I looked at her with surprise when she threw that pity card at me. I didn’t stop moving my finger that was on her right thigh now. I could see the change in her breaths and it was really a fun game. “If I am rightly informed then that helpless girl is also my wife?” I said almost questioning my own statement and she raised her brows in doubt. I licked my lips seductively and she almost yelled at me. “Dem… stop right now”, she yelled and I laughed this time. It was really fun to watch my effect on her body. “You better watch what you are doing, Dem or else, I swear…. I swear that I will avenge you”, I laughed while clenching my stomach when she threatened me. She actually threatened me by teasing her.
“So… how are you planning to take revenge on me, huh?” I said and then looked at her bare thigh. I was now making circles on her thigh with my finger that was making her breathes heavily now. I instantly held her by her waist when I saw that she was about to move her upper body to adjust herself. “Hey… what are you doing now?” I asked her in a serious tone and she closed her eyes. The blush on her face made her more beautiful than she was already. I put down the towel on the basin and then moved toward her. I cupped her face and then kissed her forehead. “I was just teasing you, princess. Can’t you take my teasing now?” I asked her in a gentle but teasing tone again. I was glad that I was quick and saved her from any coming pain. She can move her upper body a bit but now under her waist. Her physiotherapy had already started but it was a bit more difficult than before.
She opened her eyes and I was shocked to see the fierceness in her eyes. She was still mad at me. “I will take my revenge…. You just wait”, she said in a fierce tone. “You are still thinking about the revenge?” I asked her in surprise again and she glared hard at me. The blush was still evident on her face but she was trying hard to conceal it. I laughed and then just hit her forehead by mine lightly. She immediately slapped my arm harshly but that didn’t stop me from laughing. I was really in love with this girl. Only she could make me laugh so much. I shook my head and then started wiping her body again. She scoffed and then looked at the other side and after some time, she closed her eyes. I cleaned her and then put her on a new set of clothes. She was still annoyed and it was really making me laugh once again but I was resisting it because it would flame her anger more.
“I talked with your mother about some modifications in your house according to your present condition. The architecture and an interior designer has already been assigned there by Dexter”, I told her and she nodded. “What about our room there?” she asked me and I smiled while putting both the wet towels in the basin. I stood up after covering her and she pulled the cover to her chest. “I will tell you about that later. It’s already dinner time. Let’s talk about this after dinner, okay?” I asked her in a calm tone and she nodded. I then went to the washroom again. I threw the used towels in the laundry basket and emptied the basin. I then cleaned myself and went out of the washroom. I saw her nurse Layla adjusting her pillows. She already had put two extra pillows under her neck to lift her upper body a little upwards.
“Mrs Lockhart has already sent your dinner, Sir”, Layla looked at me and then informed me. I nodded and then she looked at Mariam again. “Thanks, Layla… I will bother you again”, she said to Layla and Layla nodded with a smile. She then went out of the room and I locked the room. I didn’t like anyone’s interference other than Mrs Lockhart during our dinner. I had to go on a business trip in a few days and I didn’t want to miss any second that I could spend with Mariam. I took the trolley to the bed. I put down the food table near her and then prepared a plate for her first. “You were telling me about our room there”, she asked me while taking a spoonful of food. “Yeah…. About that”, I gulped the content of my mouth down my throat and then looked at her. “Dexter will show you the plan and all the documents related to the modification. If you want anything to change then you can tell Dexter”, I told her and she nodded.
“When are you going on the business trip?” she asked me after a while. “The day after tomorrow but this time, I will be back in two days”, I informed her and she nodded. After finishing our dinner I removed the table and helped her clean her mouth. “Dem”, she called me when I was taking out her medicines that she had to take before going to sleep. “What are you thinking about your surgery?” she asked me and I looked at her in confusion. “What about that?” I asked her in a confused tone. “Didn’t we talk about your face surgery before?” she asked me in a confused tone. I gave her the medicine and the water. She was still at the same position as she was before. She took the medicine and gulped down without throwing any tantrums this time. I knew that she had something for me that was why she didn’t throw any tantrums or else it was really hard to make her take her medicine these days. I remembered what Dr Reynolds told me and I was trying hard to make her believe that it was temporary and soon she will be on her feet.
I called the kitchen to take back the food trolley. “Are you ignoring me now?” I heard her when I was going to the washroom. “Can I ignore you?” I stopped in my track and asked her in a loving tone. “You didn’t answer me yet”, she said in an impatient tone this time. “I am going to brush my teeth only”, I said in a cam but teasing tone. She huffed and crossed her hands in front of her chest in annoyingly. I wanted to laugh at her childish tact but resisted. I didn’t want to anger her and then she would not let me touch her even for a second the whole night. I immediately finished my business in the washroom. I knew that she would soon raise this matter. I already had thought about it.
I came out of the washroom and sighed when saw her sitting in the same position. “What?” I asked her while coming towards the bed. She didn’t answer me but glared. I came near to her after stripping off my t-shirt. “Let me lay down you”, I said to her and gently pulled her in my embrace after hovering over her body. She wrapped her hands around my neck and cautiously pushed her body towards me. I removed the extra pillows from her back. After settling her down, I slid myself inside the cover beside her. “Now tell me what were you saying before?” I asked her while wrapping my hand around her waist. “Forget it. I know you will do anything on your own will”, she said in an annoying tone and closed her eyes.
“You know”, I scooted myself more towards her making myself comfortable with her. “I have some urgent work to deal with for the time being. After that, I think I can go for the surgery”, I told her truthfully and she immediately looked at me. “Really?” she asked me still doubting me. “Of course…. I am saying the truth. Meanwhile, you will also get better and then you can take care of me”, I said in a loving tone and kissed the top of her head. She has short hairs now but I missed her long hairs. She looked good in her long hairs. “I am not sure that I will be better so early”, she said in a sad tone this time. I took a deep breath this time. Her moral spirit was going down day by day and that was not good for her. “You can do this. I know you. You pulled yourself out of death bed more than once. This situation is nothing that you can’t deal with your will”, I said trying to comfort her. I really needed something very soon to keep her spirit up.
