Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

NEED TO SHOW THEIR PLACES

Demitry’s P.O.V.

“I think I have to stay here for a few more days. They are still up to something and I can’t let them harm me or my mom now”, I chewed my inner cheeks while hearing Mariam over the call. I wanted her to come back to me. She didn’t need to stay there when she had me. I wanted to say so many things but needed to say them face to face. “Okay… inform me whenever you feel better to come back”, I said in the end in a gloomy tone. “Thanks… I will call you tomorrow then”, she said. After that, we both hung up. I looked at the phone’s blank screen for a good one minute. I was really an i***t to send her away from me when both my heart and my mind didn’t want her to leave me. She had already accepted her feelings for me and I was still in denial because I was afraid that she would also leave me just like Sasha.

Suddenly, I came out of my stance when I heard the ringing of the intercom. I took a deep breath and then pressed the button. “Yes, Dexter”, I sat down on the chair while asking him. “Ms Wilson is here and she wants to see you”, he informed me and I frowned. What did she want from me now? “Send her in”, I instructed him and then took a deep breath. Why is life so complicated for me? For the past year, I have been happy and content with Mariam. She was everything that Sasha was not. I still remembered the pain plastered on her face. She didn't even come to meet me when I left her there. It really hurt a lot but I had called that on myself on my own.

I heard a knock on the door that made me pull my poker face now. I couldn’t believe that I was in love with this woman for so long. I asked the person to come in. The door opened and I saw her face completely caked with makeup. I flinched with that annoying smile on her lips. “Hey”, she said with a seductive smile on her lips, and then closed the door behind her. “Why are you here, Ms Wilson?” I asked her in a cold tone. I had no intention of entertaining her right now. Her face fell immediately but she immediately regained her composure. “You are not happy to see me”, she said in a low tone while coming towards me. “Please have a seat Ms Wilson”, I immediately stopped her and showed her the chair on the other side of the table. She stopped on her way and I could see the pain in her eyes.

She cleared her throat and went towards the chair where I signalled before. “Do you have anything to talk about?” I queried immediately in a cold tone again. “I only wanted to see you. It’s been a long time since we sat together”, she said, with a flattery smile on her lips now. I took a deep breath tiredly. “Why are you here, Ms Wilson? I have no business with you now. So, I don’t see any reason that we should meet”, I said in a tired tone. “Can’t I come to meet you without any business, huh? Did you really forget the time we spent together?” I almost rolled my eyes inside my eyes when she again started the same s**t. “I don’t see any reason to keep all those years of my life in my memory. I believe in living in the present and”, I smiled when Mariam’s face flashed in my mind.

I looked at Sasha again, who has now had a gloomy face. “You smiled”, she said in a stiff tone and I raised my brow. “Did I?” I mocked ask her that infuriate her more. “If you have no serious business then you can go now, Ms Wilson. I have plenty of work to do”, I ended up the conversation between us and then moved my gaze on my laptop. My mind was still on my conversation with Mariam. I told her that I would be back to her in a week before leaving that town. It is now over a month. I couldn’t go there because of business and she had so much to do there that she couldn’t return. I really missed her so much. She didn’t need to know what she meant to me. I didn’t want to complicate her life anymore, but I couldn’t let her go either.

“What are you doing?” I roared and stood up immediately from my seat. I pushed her with so much force that she fell down on the ground on her butt. I looked at her angrily while she looked at me with tearful eyes. She dared to snake her hands around my neck from behind when I was thinking about Mariam. “Are you crazy?” she yelled while still sitting on the ground. “Am I crazy? Who gave you permission to touch me? When I asked you to leave, then you should have left”, I roared again and at the same time banged the button on the intercom. “Call the security in my office now”, I roared at Dexter too. “What are you doing?” she yelled and stood up immediately. She wobbled a little but held the table to steady herself.

“I am throwing you out of my office. You dare to touch me without my permission. Now, wait for the consequences”, I banged the table so loudly with my palm that she almost jumped on her place while screaming aloud. My whole body was trembling in anger. I wanted to kill her for what she tried to do. “I was your girlfriend for God's Sake”, she yelled and tears started rolling down her cheeks. I stormed towards her and held her by her throat tightly. Her eyes almost bulged out of the socket in shock. “You were … now you are nothing in my eyes…. Stay away from me or else I will not be this merciful in future”, I threatened her in a cold tone filled with promises that she had better behave in the future.

Without giving her any warning, I threw her on the floor. She landed on the floor harshly and coughed hard to get some air in her system. I threw a disgusted look at her and then went towards my chair. At the same time, someone opened the door without my permission. “What the f**k?” I smirked when I saw Oliver yelling with wide eyes while looking at me and Sasha on the floor. At the same time, Dexter also comes inside with two female security officers. “Throw her out of the building and instruct every single person not to let her in again in the future. Whoever will allow her to enter the premises, will face my wrath”, I commanded Dexter while looking at Oliver, who was now stunned by the course of the event.

“Oliver… I.. I can explain”, suddenly Sasha cried in a pitiful voice. Oliver was still dumbfounded. The two security officers came forward and pulled up Sasha from the ground by lifting her from her arms. “Leave her. I… I will take care of her. She will not come here again”, Oliver immediately went near her and then looked at me as the officers didn’t let Sasha go. I could see anger and defeat in his eyes. I didn’t know why he was here but I was sure that he didn’t expect what he saw earlier. “They will escort you two out”, I said in a cold tone, and then sat down on my chair lazily. I gave them my back as I didn’t want to see their faces now.

I heard the closing of the door and smirked again. Since the night of my grandfather’s birthday, Sasha has been trying to meet me. I was clearly avoiding her because she didn’t matter to me now. I didn’t know what game Oliver and Sasha were playing now, but I was not in a mood to let them play with me now. I was not the same Demitry Davenport who they knew before. I pressed the intercom again. “Come in my room”, I instructed Dexter. “Mr Oliver Davenport wants to see you, Sir”, Dexter immediately said, before I hung up. I took a deep breath again. I was having a headache now. “Send him in”, I commanded in a cold tone and hung up.

The door opened again and Oliver came inside. His face was still gloomy. “Speak”, I said in a cold tone without giving him any look. “I came here to talk about the highway project”, he said in a stiff and cold tone. I was still looking at the screen of my laptop. “What about that?” I asked him in the same tone. “I have a proposal about…….. does that woman really your wife?” I snapped my head towards him when he mentioned Mariam and narrowed my eyes on him. He was looking at me with a cold gaze now. I immediately stood up and bang the table again. “I dare you to take her name again. Stay away from her or else you will not like the consequences”, I threatened him in a cold but fuming tone. His eyes widened in shock but he immediately masked his expressions.

“And yeah… keep your girlfriend chain if you are not able to satisfy her”, I taunted him with a dirty smile full of mocking. He clenched his fists while shooting daggers on me through his eyes. He knew the meaning of my words very well. His face was disoriented due to the anger. There was a thick silence in the room and all I could hear was his uneven breathing. He was trying hard to contain his anger. “And about the highway project, I have no intention of listening to any of your proposals”, I once again moved my gaze from him to my computer screen. I was now losing my patience. At first, Sasha and then Oliver was now testing my patience. I already had enough of their bullshit.

I took my phone from the table and, without even thinking, dialled Mariam’s number. I desperately wanted to hear her voice right now. Suddenly, I had an uneasy feeling in my heart. I bit my lower lip when she didn’t pick up the phone. “Pick up the phone, Mariam”, I murmured to myself and sighed. I narrowed my gaze when I saw Oliver still standing in my office. “Damn”, I cursed when she didn’t pick up the call. I immediately called her mother’s number. My heart was now beating hard inside my ribcage. Her mother also didn’t pick up the call. What was going on there? Why were they not picking up the call? My mind was now full of bad thoughts that was making me panic.

“What do you want now?” I asked Oliver in an irritating voice. He didn’t say a thing but blinked blankly. I pressed the intercom again. “Call Billy now”, I ordered him with an urgency in my words. “So, she is really your love interest for now”, suddenly I heard Oliver’s voice again and looked at him. He was now looking calm and composed. “She is my wife, Oliver. I don’t care why and how you hooked up with Sasha but stay away from Mariam. I will forget whatever relationship we have”, I almost roared at him this time causing him to flinch at his spot. Suddenly the door burst open and Dexter came inside. “You need to go, sir”, he said in a calm tone but I didn’t need anything else to hear what he meant by that. I stormed out of the room with a panicked heart.
