You Awoke A Beast in ME!

Chapter 3

Meera’s POV

Yesterday’s incident left me wobbly, I can’t dare to comprehend what could have happened had that jerk taken me with him. Anyways there is no point of thinking about things which might never happen but what seemed strange was his behaviour. I mean why was he acting considerate towards me when he could have easily killed me while I was struggling in his grip. What’s even more confusing was that he didn’t know about my profession yet he knew my name. What does this mean?

I couldn’t sleep a wink last night and right now I am walking towards my office to submit my report on his business deals as well as the interview of the lady I met.

As I continued to step into the building something seemed off, there wasn’t anybody there. Is it a holiday? Its 10am and there is no sign of the gate keeper as well. What’s wrong? Has something bad happened? 

No, Meera this is just your imagination everything is alright and you will expose that beast to the world and make his life a hell.

As I walked in I saw few tall and well built men in black suits, there was nobody in the office cubicles. Am I in the right building? Last time I remember this was the address of my office then why does it seem so off now? Suddenly I saw my boss as in the editor of the company and gave a sigh of relief. Thank god! Finally some relief otherwise I was starting to get weird thoughts.

“sir, I have successfully completed my operation on the subject here are the reports ”

I placed them on his desk, as he looked towards me there was something definitely not right at the moment. As Mr. Krishnan looked pale. He collected the file and took the cd recordings and then told me something shocking.

" Meera, I am no longer your boss, in fact our company was sold over night”

Before he could speak any further I shot my questions at him

“what? But, sir I risked my life for this and what about the employees? Have all of them been sacked? Am I being sacked as well? This was not the situation as I remember yesterday”.

Before I could speak any further,

“No Meera, you are not being sacked I just want you to meet our new head. As for others they have been assigned jobs at different locations so please come along for now”

Great! Am I supposed to believe this? I don’t know why but I have a bad feeling about this. As soon as we walked into the CEO’s cabin I figured what it was all about. I’m so very dead.

“So, Ms. Meera Rajput, I’m glad that I got to meet the most talented journalist”

As I raised my head I saw the familiar torso, the hard and wide chest, the same biceps that could crush the soul of an on looker and the same rogue eyes that seemed to be burning holes through my soul. I had figured this would happen, I was well aware of this and so I had prepared to leave the country and try to reveal him through a press conference.

" look you moron, I’m not scared of the consequences, I risked it all while aware of all your deeds and all that you are capable of”,

With no fear I blurted it out sounding pissed. Ugh! How I wish to crush his skull into powder. I could have given him an earful but I was interrupted by a lady who walked in and also seemed very familiar.

“Sir, the arrangements are done”

She said, that’s when I realised this is the same lady I interviewed in the washroom yesterday. God! This is some serious joke! This lady who wanted to remain unnamed told me about how she was being used in business dealings and now here she is working for the jerk himself.

“good, you may leave”

Said the jerk. Now I get the picture so, I fell into his trap.

" did you sleep well darling? Because I doubt I’ll let you, once I take you”

He spoke while standing close to me. Like hell I’m scared!

" I dare you! If you have the guts then man up and face me stop using cheap tricks like threatening people ”

I spoke with unfettered confidence. Your thinking has not changed even after the hit you took between your legs? I don’t mind doing it again.

“haha, I seriously love feisty girls they just turn me on”,

He spoke while a sly smile played on his lips

" you are a the first girl who has intrigued my attention and set my soul on fire with desire at the same time”

He winked and walked past me. I am starting to feel a little nervous now, maybe I should have kept quiet this just seems too risky.

" I don’t understand “,

" what is so difficult to understand darling? “,

" you could have killed me right then and there, why set up a trap? Why buy the company? It’s just absurd as you know my name yet you seemed to be not aware of my profession”,

Before I could speak any further

" you don’t remember what happened two years ago? ”

" just stop acting like a jerk, there are many other things to do in my life so how would I know what you are talking about ”

" True! Well, since you don’t remember let me tell you. I set my eyes on you two years ago. That was when you were working as an intern at the same company and you made your first report attracting the attention of international media by finding the dead body of my enemy Jaffar and exposing him”,

He turned around and I was now looking into his eyes, he had a calm demeanor unlike what I was expecting after kicking him in the balls.

“what about that case? “,

" that was when I first saw you, fearless and a confident woman , I tried to get you out of my mind, you see love is a dangerous thing in my profession. But, who can stop it? I was sleepless, restless and going crazy. I guess fate had other plans as the prey came searching for its predator and I am a Beast”

With that he pinned me to the wall, wait this was not supposed to happen, I started wiggling in his grip. Suddenly my heart beat rose to 120 beats per minute. I don’t have a good feeling right now. I only stared back not knowing what to say

“when you showed up, I could not control myself anymore. Since you came all by yourself I am going to snatch you”

He whispered in my ears and slowly started to places kisses along my jawline. I was perplexed I guess I am going to faint, this must be some nightmare please wake me up.

Suddenly I could feel his grip no more on my wrists. I was let free, but I had wobbly knees. This is bad, this is worst. What is going on?

He held my hand and walked me out of the cabin. I didn’t realise it as I was trying to comprehend the recent happenings in the cabin. He gave a curt nod to everyone and then crashed his lips on mine.

What? This is stupid! This is lame! Before everyone he.. He.. He kissed me, kissing would be an understatement he was rather eating my lips. It just felt disgusting. I have never been touched by anyone and how dare he. I was struggling for breath when he set me free.

My immediate response was a tight slap on his face. How dare he do this to me before everyone. I never realised I was welling up until a drop of tear rolled down my cheek. He only gave me a smirk.

" you are a piece of art you know? I swear I’ll devour every inch of your skin”

With that he flung me in air and held me in his arms and walked towards the building exit. No! Not the elevator! I could not help but feel dizzy and sick.
