Demitry’s P.O.V.
“I am going back to the capital for some urgent work”, I informed her while closing my file that I needed to sign. We were in our bedroom right now. She was combing her hair near the dresser and I was sitting on the couch after changing my clothes. “When will you come back?” she asked in a soft voice while looking at me through the mirror. I stood up after putting the file on the couch beside me and went near her. I took the comb from her and then started combing her hair. She smiled but didn’t say or stop me. I like to do these stupid things only to feel normal with her. The bond between us was much stronger than my liking but I couldn’t help it. She had a grip on my heart and to be honest, I love this feeling.
“You have to come back within a week there. After a week, you have to attend a gala night with me. This is important to me”, I told her while combing her hair. I glanced at her through the mirror. She was biting her lower lip again indicating that she is nervous. I smiled internally at her reaction because I didn’t know what was bothering her more here, meeting me after a week or going in the gala with me. It must be later because I still had a doubt that she likes me as she claimed openly in front of everyone. In the past two months after getting discharged from the hospital, she was always with me. We were separated from each other for not more than a night's length. It would be the first time that we would be away for a long time. I wanted to know whether she would feel the same for me after this separation or she would realize that it was nothing but her gratitude towards me that she showered her love and care on me because I saved her life?
“What’s wrong?” I asked her when she didn’t say anything for a while. She was still biting her lips furiously. “I want to go back with you”, she said in a low voice and lowered her eyes. I stopped combing her hair. I looked at the woman sitting in front of me through the mirror. She was good at hiding her true emotions in front of others but I wondered why didn’t she hide anything from me? I really hated this feeling that she was always true to herself in front of me. “Mariam”, I pulled her from her shoulder and moved her towards me. She still had her gaze low. She put her hands on my chest and started playing with the button of my t-shirt. “You know that you need to finish what you have started here. After two days, you need to go to the court to claim all your property and other assets, right?” I asked her and she nodded her head reluctantly.
I took a deep breath and then pulled her in my embrace gently. She immediately put her head down on my chest making my heart beat faster than normal. I didn’t know why she had this effect on me. I never felt this much possessive and anxious towards Sasha that I felt for Mariam. She gave me warmth that is addicted. “I have already instructed Natasha not to leave your side even for a second when I will be away. You will be safe here”, I tried to comfort her. “But she can’t replace you”, she whispered in a very low voice but I heard her. “You know very well that I can’t stay here for long because of my work. I have duties to perform. So, I need to go. You have to stay here to teach them a lesson. We can’t stay together for a long time period”, I said in a gentle tone but the harsh reality of my words hit me hard too.
She stiffened in my embrace and I tightened my grip on her waist and on the back of her head. “You are not that innocent Mariam from the past, Mariam. You are much stronger than her and I know that you will survive without me here. I will be only a call away from you and you know this”, I didn’t know whom I was convincing right now. I was never so confused in my life that I was now. Mariam was changing me and I needed to self-evaluate myself now. I had thought that my heart had stopped feelings things after Sasha’s betrayal but Mariam had proved me wrong. I needed to get a grip on my heart and on my feelings. She will be out of my life after a certain period and I was not ready for another heartbreak. This separation would give me time to convince my heart that we don’t need someone to make us feel alive.
Suddenly a light sniff made me come out of my stance. I immediately tried to pull her away from me but she tightened her grip on my neck. “Please stay like this for a while”, she whispered pleading to me. The c***k in her voice was enough reason for me not to accept her plea. I pulled her away and looked at her face. She lowered her head making her hair fall in front of her face that hid her face completely. I immediately brushed her hair away from her face and pushed them behind the shoulders. “Look at me, Mariam”, I commanded her in a firm tone. She didn’t lift her head up making me sigh internally. I cupped her face and lifted her face up. I was right that she was crying silently because she had tear stains on her cheeks. She immediately removed my hands from her face and before I could stop her, she ran inside towards the bathroom. “Mariam… stop”, I yelled at her but she didn’t stop and slammed shut the door of the bathroom.
