Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

HE IS GOOD IN EVERYTHING

Mariam’s P.O.V.

I blew a breath of relief through my mouth when finally found a place where I could breathe the fresh air. It was really exhausting and tiring to plaster a fake smile all the time on your face. I wondered how perfect all those women were there in pretending. They met each other with so enthusiasm as if they were really best friends and missed each other. As soon as they show their backs, they make faces as if they will puke any time. It was really not my cup of tea, but still, I needed to do this only for Demitry. As he said, they were all nothing but a bunch of crooks. I saw how his ex-girlfriend tried to make him uncomfortable here and there. She was pretending that my presence didn’t bother her but deep down both she and I know that she was not happy with my presence beside Demitry. Her face was stunned when Demitry introduced me as his wife to everyone, including his family. I guess that she never assumed that Demitry would bring someone with him and gave this place to her. Well, I was not any other girl but I was his legal wife.

“So… tired of pretending, huh?” I rolled my eyes and groaned internally when I heard that annoying voice behind me. “I just need a breather. I wonder what made Ms Wilson to come here? Do you also need a breather?” I looked back at him with a sly smile on my lips while resting my hands on the handrails behind me. She glared at me and her mouth twitched. “You can’t make me fool, Ms Lockhart. I don’t know what Demitry offered you to act as his wife?” she looked at me from head to toe with disgust. I scoffed and rolled my head.

“What made you think that Demitry has offered me something to be here? Do I really need something from him to pretend to be his wife, huh?” I mocked in the same way. She was nothing for me. So, I had no fear while dealing with her. What she had with Demitry was the past. She was now his cousin’s fiancée. So, she must know her limits too. She looked stunned for a couple of minutes. I didn’t lower my gaze either. She dared say a word more and I would show her the right place. I might be a sweet, simple girl, but I couldn’t stand bullying. “I know like the back of my hand. We were in the relationship for more than five years”, before she could banter more, I cut her off. “Still you left him when he needed you the most. You left him because of his ruined face. I am wondering (I put a finger under my chin and looked up as if I was really thinking something) how would you feel if something like this had happened to you not with him and he left you because of your ruined face?” I looked down at her and raised my brow.

Her eyes immediately went wide. She opened her mouth to say something but closed again and again. I smirked and then moved back outwards. “You know what is more interesting in him?” I asked her after a while. I couldn’t see her face because I had my back towards her now. She didn’t say a word and I glanced at her over my shoulder. She was still standing behind me. I smirked and then looked at my front again. The sky was filled with stars, but due to the bright lights of the city, they were almost invisible. The breeze was fresh though. I took a deep breath. “Ms Wilson… I asked you a question. You were with him for more than five years, as you said earlier. You should have a good knowledge of his personality than me, right?” I taunted her this time. She needed to taste her own bitter medicine.

“You can’t replace me in his life”, she said in a bitter tone that made me laugh aloud. “O My, Ms Wilson”, I moved back again while laughing, clenching my stomach. “Can’t you see… I already have replaced you”, I said while laughing at her. I saw her clenching her fists. She was now losing her composure. “What’s going on here”, I stopped laughing when I heard his voice. I smiled and lazily rested my lower waist on the handrail. My hands were again on the handrail behind me. “We were talking about you, love”, I said in a sweet voice while smiling widely. He eyed Sasha while crossing her and coming to me. He immediately wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer. I put my hands on his chest and looked at Sasha.

I really wanted to roll on the ground while laughing hard. The expression on her face was worth catching on camera. I really missed my camera. Her face was now disoriented due to anger that she was trying hard to suppress but was failing miserably. “I asked you a question, Ms Wilson, what is more interesting in him?” I tilted my head a bit while curling the corners of my mouth. She narrowed her eyes on me. I could feel the possessiveness in Demitry’s grip on me. “The way he made me feel special and wanted is the most interesting thing in him. I guess what I am talking about here”, I winked at her and then looked at Demitry. He had narrowed his eyes on Sasha but looked down at me when he heard my comment. A small smile appeared on his lips and he cupped my face with another hand. He kissed my forehead and I closed my eyes feeling the gentleness and love in his kiss. I didn't know why, but my body craved for more now.

"Stay away from her. She is more dangerous than the venomous snake on the earth", Demitry said in a cold tone while tightening his grip on my waist. "Trust me... I have no intention to be bitten by her", I said in a teasing tone. He looked down at me with an amusing smile and I grinned. He chuckled and then looked in front of us. "Let's go... I am hungry now", he said and suddenly I pushed him towards the wall and put my whole weight on him. I knew that I had taken him off guard but it was necessary right now. "I am hungry too", I said in a seductive tone while trailing my finger up from his stomach to up on his chest. He raised his brows but wrapped his hands around my waist. My breath became heavier when his fingers started going up on my body. "I can feed you", he said in a raspy voice while brushing his lips on mine. Our breaths mixed with each other and I forgot why did I push him in the wall?

Suddenly we both pulled out of our trance when we heard someone clearing her throat. I closed my eyes and Demitry steadied my body. I recomposed myself and looked at the person who disturbed our moment. I was standing in front of Demitry almost shielding his body. "O... we are sorry... we didn't realize that you are still here", I said with a fake smile while holding his hands on my waist. Her eyes were still widened which made me furrow my brows. "You... you... you", she pointed the finger towards Demitry while stuttering hard. "Yes... I am", he said and I looked up at him in confusion. He still had a poker face that left me a bit confused. "What is she talking about?" I asked him and he just pulled me closer to him. I couldn't understand a thing but decided to keep my mouth shut.

"You were hungry, right?" he suddenly asked me and I only nodded. I looked at Sasha again, who was looking at us dumbfounded, as if someone had drained all the blood from her body. Demitry moved towards the other side making me move with him. "Let's go", he possessively held me and then we both walked forward. None of us looked behind at Sasha and I really didn't care about her. The shock on her face after looking at us in an intimate position was not what I had imagined. That was something else as if she had seen a ghost. I was sure that there was something that I should know and I decided to ask Demitry later. I suddenly stopped Demitry and looked back at Sasha who was still standing at her place routed. "Give me a second", I said, and before Demitry could ask me anything, I walked towards Sasha. She looked at me dumbfounded, as if she was trying to process what just happened in front of her. I slowly went near her ear and said with a winning smile on my lips. "I told you that he is good in everything, right. I am sure that you have got your answer why I am with him", I said to her in whispers and then moved back. I winked at her with a wide smile on my lips and then walked back to Demitry.

"Let's go", I said while intertwining our fingers. "What did you say to her?" he immediately asked me while pulling me closer to him. "I just told her how happy I am with you", I winked at him with a shy smile on my lips. He raised a brow at me and I only bit my lower lip seductively. "You cunning vixen", he said playfully while wrapping his hand around my waist. I laughed at his possessiveness. We both reached to the main hall again. "There you are. I thought that you have left the party", his grandfather with some of his friends came near us. I didn't know what the situation was between him and Demitry but I knew one thing. That old hunk was more under the ground than he was on the surface. I might not be a big shot in the business world but I liked to stay updated with the recent events in the business world. Demitry always kept himself in shadows and that was why I didn't know much about him. On the contrary, his grandfather and his other family liked to flaunt their wealth so much. It was easy to gather information about them. I smiled and then looked at Demitry who had a stiff expression on his face. "Relax... I know what I am doing", I whispered to him and then gave him an assuring smile before looking at his grandfather again.
