Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

THERE IS NO WAY OUT

Warrick’s P.O.V.

“I am not able to contact her. It seemed that her husband has hidden her somewhere”, I informed the person sitting inside the car. The car had tinted glasses and I couldn’t see the person inside. I could say that he was a person with a big influence. I didn’t know how Mariam had offended him or why he had so much interest in Mariam. All I knew was that he had everything on me including that kidnappings incident that could send me to prison for the rest of my life. “You have to contact her no matter what means you use. You have to convince her that you are innocent and she should come back to you”, he said in a very cold tone that sent chills to my spine. I gulped hard.

“For your information, your girlfriend and crime partner went to meet Mr Davenport”, he said in a cold mocking voice and I furrowed my brows this time. “I didn’t know anything about this”, I said in a low voice and heard him scoff. “Are you really a man, huh? You can’t control your woman and still, you dare to harm the one who was loyal to you?” his mocking made my blood boil in anger but I couldn’t say a word. I balled up my fists behind my back to suppress my anger. I lowered my eyes, as I didn’t have anything to say right now. Somehow, he hit the sore spot in my heart. “Anyways… this is not my business to look for your woman. You should think about how to deal with her. I don’t want to be a hurdle in my way or else I know how to deal with her”, he threatened me and I gulped hard in fear.

“Contact Mariam as soon as possible and persuade her to leave Mr Davenport and come back to you. You have to hurry as I don’t have much time to entertain you. You have only a week”, he said in a warning tone that made me sweat hard. “I…. I… try my best”, I said in a fearful voice. He didn’t say a thing again and drove the car away. I only looked at the back of the car in a daze. My one mistake had put me in so many difficulties. My once peaceful and calm life is now a mess. I now really regretted having a relationship with Valerie. That b***h put my life in danger. If it was not for her, I would be living a peaceful life with Mariam. We were about to marry after returning from that trip. I never thought that the situation would turn up like this. Now I needed to pursue Mariam and also needed to think a way to get rid of Valerie without causing any other ruckus.

I took a deep breath and went towards my car. I drove the car towards my home absentmindedly. I was thinking about how to pursue Mariam to forgive me first. I was more handsome than her husband. I was not as rich as he was but Mariam was not a materialistic girl. She never put money over relationships and people related to her. The mysterious person was right about me being an asshole here. I lost a precious gem like Mariam for a piece of glass like Valerie. I parked the car in front of my house and locked it after getting out of the driving seat.

“You are home now?” I looked up when I heard Valerie’s voice. She was sitting on the sofa in the living room. I changed my shoes and walked towards the kitchen. I was not in the mood of entertaining her right now. “Why are you here?” I asked her while pouring a glass of water for myself. After what happened between us the last time, she broke up with me the very next day. I was more than happy that she initiated the break-up because I really didn’t want to live a single second of my life with her. I couldn't understand why I was not able to see all her flaws before f***ing up my life at this extent. “Where were you?” she asked me instead of answering me. I raised my brows at her while drinking the water. “Why is it your concern now? I am a free man. I can go anywhere at my will”, I said while cleaning the glass and putting it down on the shelf again.

“You know that it’s Mariam’s husband who told her about the k********g incident and about us?” she said in a low voice and I scoffed. “Are you really that dumb or it’s me who noticed this so late?” I taunted her and she immediately went cold. She glared at me while narrowing her eyes on me. “I know that you went to meet Mr Davenport. So, tell me something that I don’t know”, I said while throwing myself on the love seat. I didn’t look at her and closed my eyes. It was not like I knew what she told me. I was shocked because now two influential people had dirt on me and crossing either of them means digging your own grave.

“I didn’t know that Mariam has such good traits of seducing rich men”, I opened my eyes and glared at Valerie. “Are you doubting yourself?” I taunted her again and she immediately stood up from her spot on the couch in anger. “What do you mean by this, Warrick?” she yelled and I immediately sat down properly on the couch while looking at her angrily. “You know exactly what I mean. Mariam didn’t have stolen anyone’s boyfriend. She is married to him and if I am not wrong, he was single when he married Mariam”, I said in an angry tone filled with venom. She immediately jerked her head backwards in shock. ‘Y…. you m… mean to say that.. I seduce you?” she pointed a finger towards her while asking me in a surprised tone.

I scoffed and lay down lazily again. “You know the answer better than me, Valerie…. Now if you don’t have anything important to tell me… you can leave”, I said in a cold tone and closed my eyes again. I had so many things to deal with if I wanted to keep myself safe and away from both dangerous parties. This scheming b***h made me do everything that time and if they reveal the truth, I would be the one who would get a severe punishment, not her. No one would believe that I was framed by her. She saved her ass and put me in danger. “We have to do something to stop Mariam before she will do something to harm us”, I heard her again but in a calm voice this time. I groaned in annoyance and opened my eyes.

“You are really dumb, do you?” I asked her with a scoff and she huffed this time and sat down on the couch. “Tell me the reason why I am on the verge of bankrupt and you are about to loose your inheritance?” I asked her in a calm tone this time. She looked at me in confusion and the way her brows furrowed, she was thinking hard. “This is because Mariam wants to break every single thread that has attached us”, she said in a confusing tone and I was glad that she was not that dumb. “Exactly…. she came back after marrying Mr Davenport…. Why? Why didn’t she come back earlier?” I put down the question in front of her and she looked at me in confusion. I didn’t know after how long we were having a normal chat this time.

“She was badly injured and recuperating all that time when she was disappeared. Mr Davenport saved her and helped her getting medical attention. I don’t know why they marry but this was the only way to keep me away from herself. She made herself unapproachable for me and then she blocked everything that could lead me to her. she did everything only to destroy us. She can go to the police anytime to expose us but this is her way to take her revenge on us. She wants to destroy to the core”, I said in a calm tone but got pissed in the end. There was silence in the room for a while and I closed my eyes again. I rested my head on the armrest of the loveseat. Mariam was not a scheming person but I knew her better than anyone else. She holds grudges and here she had a perfect reason to destroy us.

“What we should do now? I want that whole property only to myself and that’s why I”, she paused and took a deep breath. I smiled bitterly at her reaction. She still didn’t admit that it was her who schemed everything. “How is your work?” I asked her after a silence of a few minutes. I heard her sigh aloud. “I lost a few contracts that were paying me a good amount”, she said in a defeated tone and I laughed bitterly this time. “Do you know the reason?” I asked her in a calm tone. There was again silence and I just sighed internally. “She is really something”, she muttered angrily. “After what you did to her this is nothing”, I said in a bitter tone but I wanted her to accept that it was us who did wrong first and made Mariam like this but I guess that Valerie was still in denial state.

“She wants to destroy our way of living. She wants to snatch my inheritance that should be mine alone. She wants to use the evidence on us as leverage to keep us under her thumb. She should have died that time”, she yelled after a while and I sat down again. “It’s me who is more in trouble than you. You made me contact those goons. You made me go to pay them for their services. I used my account to withdraw that much cash and it was me who did all the reservations there. All the evidences clearly raise all the fingers on me. You will not have any severe punishment if she turns us in front of the law”, I was now angry and the tempo of my voice increased with every single word. Valerie blinked harder this time while I breathed harshly to suppress my anger.

“Just leave, Valerie and let me think how can I save myself this time. You already have done the damage and now it’s me who is going to pay for your sins. Whatever leverage Mariam has on us, she will not kill us and you will be free to live your life as you please… but for me”, I glared at her coldly. “This is totally a different story”, I said in a bitter tone. I stood up and went towards the bedroom. “Close the door before you leave and don’t come back to me no matter what happens in the future. You and I are over”, I said in a cold tone while entering the bedroom and slammed the door with a bang. I threw myself on the bed and closed my eyes. I was really tired. I picked up the phone and dialled Mariam’s number again. I groaned in frustration when her number still came turned off.

I took a deep breath and collected my thoughts before deciding something else. I decided to call her mother this time. It might be possible that Mariam had changed her number. She was out of her work for quite a long time. She can easily change her number right now. I knew that her mother would scold me and cursed me before telling me anything about Mariam. I had to do something to get forgiveness from Mariam. If everything goes according to my plan then it will be hitting two birds by one stone for me. Demitry would not do anything against me if Mariam comes back to me on her own and that mysterious person would not threaten me again because I serve his purpose. I held my breath and dialled her mother’s number. “Hey, mom”, I greeted her with a bit enthusiastic voice after she picked up the phone. “I have only one daughter and she is with me. So, you have no right to call me mom”, she responded in a very cold voice and I sighed internally.
