Billionaire Leader and his Dr Wife

Chapter 14 – Knowing each other

Daniel Stuart Cooper

I followed her to the room before asking a maid to bring breakfast for both of us to the room. I didn't found Hazel in the room. The maid just arrived pulling the food trolley and I said to leave it in the room. I checked the washroom and then went to the balcony. She is sitting on the hanging chair immersed in her own thoughts. I walked and stood beside her. She didn't notice me standing next to her. 

I looked at her admiring her beauty for a long time before placing my hand on her shoulder. She looked shocked. Seeing me standing beside her, she blushed. I pulled her from the chair and seated myself and then made her to sit on my lap. She sat with a bowed head without looking at my face. I pulled her chin up and made her look up at me.

“Look into my eyes.” I said and she looked up. There are tears forming in her green eyes. I could see a lonely tear leaving her eyes which I kissed away with my lips. She shivered when my lips touched her face. She sat still without even breathing. I wanted to take all her worries away. I really wanted her to know me and what I feel for her. I should tell her my feelings or else it will really ruin our precious time together. I said in a low voice

“Now onwards you are forbidden to cry. Not even a single tear should escape these wonderful green eyes.” My words had made her angry which is clear from reddening of her nose tip. Smiling at her I continued

“I want to confess to you something. I know you think that I changed the contract because I want to possess you. No I changed it because I can't live without you. The first time I saw you in the elevator, I lost my heart to you. I don't want to possess you. I wanted to make you mine but not through force but by loving you. I love you. I love you from the first instance I saw you in the elevator. I love you Mrs Hazel Maria Cooper.” She looked at me with wide eyes. I know she need time to accept me so I said

“When I say I love you it doesn't mean that you should love me back. Take your time and for now come let's have breakfast. I am hungry after the long workout.” I took her hand and led her to the bedroom and made her sit on the sofa. She just stared at me while I served food for both. We both ate in silence.

Hazel Maria Cooper

I came back from the dining room without having breakfast. Yesterday I didn't have the time to explore the room. I found a balcony this time and came out. I could see the calm sea from the balcony. Heavy winds are taking away breath. I seated myself on the only hanging chair there. I was lost in my own thoughts when a hand touched my shoulder. I looked up and saw Daniel smiling at me and I blushed.

He suddenly pulled me and seated himself on the chair. Then he again pulled me and made me sit on his lap. Tears were forming in my eyes. Daniel kissed away the lonely tear which escaped my eyes and said that he forbids me from crying in future. His words triggered my anger.

He then revealed the greatest truth which changed my perception about him. I knew his words have the power to change my feelings for him. He said he loves me. He loves me from the day he saw me in the elevator. I couldn't believe my ears. I just wanted to sit like this for my whole life looking into these sea blue eyes. How much I hated this man until a day before yesterday. Knowing that he loved me from the very beginning gives me a feeling of loss. I have lost a boyfriend. I have lost a lover. I couldn’t live a life of a girlfriend. I couldn't live life of a lover. He loved me when I hated him. And now I felt so small in front of him. He gave me a world of happiness and I returned him with hatred. I wished with my heart to give him back what he deserved.

I just wanted to show him that I am with him. So I obeyed all his commands to follow him and then to eat breakfast without speaking a word. He left me to my own thoughts until afternoon. I know he is giving me space to understand my own feelings. I am not sure about my feelings though. I couldn't find an answer. What do I feel for Daniel? Do I hate him? No that's what I could understand from yesterday night. Do I love him? I don't know. One thing I am sure of is that I have started to like him. I finally let time to decide it. I should allow myself to go with the flow. I shouldn't restrict myself.

We had lunch together and went out to explore more beauty of the island. I wondered why they choose this Island as a honeymoon destination. So I decided to ask him.

“Daniel, why have you chosen this Island as a destination for our honeymoon?”

“No it's not chosen by me but by our ancestors. It’s the tradition of the Cooper family. It's been generations since the newly wedded of the family spend the first part of their honeymoon here. It’s said that the plants grow here has the herbal values which is good for the newly wedded to have a healthy s*x and conceive easily. Almost all of the couples returned back from here had a new member in the womb of the woman.” When he stopped I looked at him startled. His words have woken up the fear inside me. No this can’t be happening, I can’t give up my dreams.

“I don't want to be a mother. I want to pursue my career and fulfil my dreams first.” I cried desperately in front of him. He hugged me and tried to console me. We were standing near the sea. I lost track of time as I continued to cry. At last he whispered in my ears.

“Dear wife you forgot that I had forbidden you to cry. If you don't obey me I will punish you.” I looked him with amusement. He is smiling at me. I knew he want to stop me crying. So I wiped my tears and gave him a slight smile. 

“No, that won’t do. That’s not coming from your heart. When you smile with your heart your eyes sparkle with joy. Come let's find out your lost smile”

He then took me back to the villa. He led me to another room in the villa which I haven't visited earlier. It was a room for entertainment. There were all sorts of indoor games. He took me straight to billiards table.

“Do you know how to play.” he asked me

“No” I replied

“Then let me have the privilege to teach you” I knew he is trying to distract me from my thoughts. But I won’t budge. I want an answer.

“No Daniel. I don't want to change the topic. I want an answer. Are you with me or not.”

“Sorry Hazel. I can't. But I promise I will be with you to achieve your dreams. I will take care of everything after you give me an heir. You can presume your career after that. Just once dear.” He tried to persuade me. My heart got really hurt from his words. I am not going to allow that to happen. I should stand strong for my career and dreams. It’s my dream and no one will ever bother about that.

“No you will not. I know I will have to give up my dreams after I do what your family say.” I Screamed.

“Please Hazel it's for a dying man. Goddammit you can’t break the heart of a dying man.” I looked at him startled.
