Billionaire Leader and his Dr Wife

Chapter 15 – Revealing the hidden truth

Hazel Maria Cooper

I remember the words of Mrs Cooper when she hugged me for the first time. She told me the same thing about the wish of a dying man. But I didn't understand what she meant and didn't have a chance to ask her. So whatever she said has a meaning. 

We were now in the entertainment room. Daniel looked more worried. The Daniel I know is a man with no emotions. But now I could see a mixture of emotions on his otherwise cold face. I looked Daniel with an anxious eye. I think he is searching for words. 

“Yes you need to know. Otherwise it would become more complicated. You anyway should know about it. You are now a Cooper. You are family. You have the right to know. But I don’t know how to say this matter. I need to think about it. So first let's have dinner after that I will tell you” I thought the matter must be more complicated than I think. I was eager to know it so I disagreed with him. 

“Why not now? We can have dinner afterwards. I want to know it now.”

“Hazel, I have to compose myself before telling you the bitter truth of my life. It took me a long time to accept it and to repeat it again is not easy.” He said and I nodded in agreement. I should understand his feelings. I shouldn’t force him when it gives him pain.

We had our dinner in silence. He finished his dinner first and took leave, leaving me alone at the table. After dinner I returned to my room and took a quick shower and waited for him. Even though I felt sleepy I kept myself engaged until he came.

He came after making me wait for more than an hour. He didn't feel himself. He looked drunk. He for sure had more than just a drink. He looked somewhat shattered. I felt pain in my heart. I have never seen him in such a pathetic state. After entering the room he glanced at me and went straight to the washroom. He took about half an hour to come out. I kept sitting on the bed until he came out. He slowly came to me and climbed onto the bed and laid down keeping his head on my lap. I could feel his tension. His eyes are red as if he has cried. I have never seen him in such a mess. He seemed broken. He must be really tensed to the extent he felt the need to be alone for so long. I slowly caressed his hair with the intension to ease his tension. He looked directly into my eyes. His deep sea blue eyes showed a mixture of emotions specially pain and sorrow. I wanted to make him comfortable so I kissed his forehead. He closed his eyes as if trying to form words. After it felt like a long time he opened his eyes and said

“It's my dad. He is the one who is dying. We can't do anything with all the money we have, with all the power we possess. We can't save him. No medicine can save him. We can just extend his life for some more time through medicines. He just wants to see my child. That's his last wish. Doctors had given him a time of one year. That’s why mom wanted our marriage so fast. Even if I didn’t have met you I would have got married to some random girl only for my dad”

“What illness does your dad have?” I asked concerned

“He has an acute type of blood cancer. We already have consulted the best doctors all over the world. He lives on medication. He had to transfuse his blood once in two weeks. It’s been a year. He goes through chemotherapy since a year. I had seen him in such pain that he sometimes cries like a child. I can’t take away his pain but at least I could make him happy. I just want to make him happy. But I want you to be happy too. I could have married any random girl but I love you. I love you as much as I love my dad. I can’t hurt either of you. I don’t want you to do anything against your wish. I promise I will not force you.” He looked at me eagerly.

“I am just confused with your mom's words. She had told me indirectly about your dad’s wish. But your mom also told me that I am just a means to produce your heir and that I should give away my career.” I said dismissively.

“Mom is a closed book. You can never get to know her from what she seems. You will have to open her to understand her. But I could tell you one thing my mom is the most wonderful person you could ever meet. I am sure of one thing that mom said those words because there were other family members in the room at that time.” He defended his mom.

“Okay, but your mom was alone with me when she called me at the hotel room” I questioned him.

“About mom I can’t reveal you anything. You will know her once you get the chance. She is not the one she shows to the outer world. I have no right to reveal her truth unless she wishes so. Once you gets to know mom, I promise you will love her.” He finished and got from my lap and went to the other side of the bed.

I couldn't sleep the whole night. I kept rolling myself in the bed to get a sleep. I deeply thought about Daniel’s father and his dying wish. Should I fulfil his wish? I can’t take a decision. I fell asleep immersed in my thoughts. Blurred visions played in my head which prevented me from a sound sleep. I knew I missed my pillow.

I woke up next day alone in the bed. I have understood that Daniel is a person who wakes up early and work out to maintain his body. He is obviously a fitness freak. And I am exact opposite of his. I never even go out on a walk. Even though I never care about my diet I have a perfect body shape.

It’s my 5th morning waking up on this bed and besides the first morning I have never seen Daniel next to me. I wanted him badly. He never tried to persuade. He always slept on the one side of the bed and never came to me. He always takes care to come to the room after I have already slept. But I never did fall asleep and always pretended to be asleep. He either never noticed or preferred to act so.

In these five days he took me around Island at day time and even played with me various indoor games. But after dinner he always went to his study. At night he tries to avoid me intentionally. But his reluctance made me fall for him more.

There is only two more nights here in this Island. Now it's my turn to do something for a dying man. Or is it for myself. I have started to like Daniel. He is not a devil. In fact he seemed to be an angel. He had the contract with him still he didn’t force himself on me. He neither punished me for disobeying him. He could have done anything with that contract in his hand. But he never did. Today also we went around the island and spend time enjoying the nature. Then we returned back and played table tennis. I am not that good at playing indoor games except for Ludo and snake and ladder. When I asked Daniel whether there is a Ludo board, he laughed. He took me to the only board game there and that’s chess board. We played a round and Daniel is brilliant at chess. He defeated me in just 20 moves. After that we went to have dinner.

Daniel is sitting opposite to me silently having his dinner. I have to make the move. How could I tell him I want my pillow back? We had our dinner silently. As usual he then went to the study. I took my time and wandered in the villa obviously to kill time. To make it up to the time he always comes I sat to watch TV. After I had spent enough time in the living room, I got up and walked to my room to get myself ready. I went to the room and took a warm shower. I used more shampoo than usual. I want me to smell good for Daniel. I have never got ready to tempt someone like this before. I have never felt something like this before either. I am in love and today I am going to tell my husband that I love him.

Once I came out of the shower, I first dried my hair and then chose a black lacy nightgown. It’s the sexiest of all the night gowns. It will reveal my curves clearly. It has a deep v neck revealing my cleavage. My pearly white skin looked fairer in this black night gown. Finally I applied the cologne which Daniel once had said he loved the smell. Once again looking myself in the mirror, I got to the bed and lay down pulling my one leg up revealing my naked skin. The night gown has a slit on one side which could show my legs. I made the gown slip through side now showing both my legs. I am all set. I am ready to seduce my husband. I wish I don’t fell asleep before Daniel arrives. And now I wait for Daniel to enter the room.
