Chapter 48

Vanessa's POV:

I yelped as I almost slipped, I am going to get hurt by the floor this time. I mentally made a check always wipe my feet before walking out of shower.

I grabbed into my waist as it hurts like my back is about split. I sat holding my right elbow, sh*t it hurts too.

To mock on my pain I noticed Seth was standing in front of me. He just kept his eyes on me, while I tried to get up whispering to myself to be careful.

I felt him picking me up, a small scream left my lips on this surprise. I felt him putting me on the bed.

I whispered, "Seth..... Wait.." but before that I was on the bed, surprisingly he was gentle to put me on the bed.

I heard him, "You walk with your eyes close or something?" I looked at him little offended.

I whispered, "Sorry...." I don't know why I did that. It's surely a habit. What else was I suppose to say, I fell on my own stupidty.

I heard him next, "Show me your hand..."

I noticed he was holding the ointment. I whispered, "I will do it myself...."

He grabbed my arm pulling me to himself, he warned, "Stay still..."

He folded the sleeve of my shirt. I am wearing a long sleeve shirt and some pants.

I am thankful that at least I came out clothed of the bathroom. Actually he was here so, So I decided to get my clothes there before shower.

I don't want to come out on towel or something in front of him.

I hissed as I felt his finger on my scratch, he was applying ointment on it.

But why?

He doesn't like to show care then why now?

I hissed again, He met my eyes. He whispered, "Why are you jumping? or you seriously want to end up with broken limb?"

I just said, "Who wants to get hurt on purpose?... I just slipped!"

Seth whispered, "Idiot!"

I noticed his eyes stopped, I realized he was looking at my cleavage. I pulled my neckline up looking away.

Wow... I am in trouble...

I felt him pulling me to himself, I was stunned to met his lips, he was... he was surprisingly gentle....

I felt like it was something he was longing for...

But it's a delusion.

He parted whispering, "It's been so hard to hold it...." I met his eyes, he... He looks so unreal...

And my body is burning already....

I might regret this...

I should stop....

He whispered again in his deep voice, "Sugar... I missed this...."

He missed it?

No....

He doesn't mean it....

But why the way he is kissing my neck feels like he it is love... not lust...

He is making me crazy....

He is playing with my brain....

He is really dangerous for me....

I am changing rules for him, ignoring everything... something is wrong with me... Feelings are making me go crazy....

No relationships I had before were this addictive.... why this one?

I don't know what took over me, I know I said I will stop this.... that time I meant it....

But when he kissed me this time.... I was craving for the comfort. Like this feels like loving each other rather than lust....

I am going crazy, I feel like it's not lust for him....

It's something he wants to feel, like being loved.

I couldn't stop him from trailing his hands around me. I neither wanted him to stop.

It all started in his study and somehow on the sofa. I was hugging him he was asleep. He covered us with a comforter as I rested my head on his bare shoulder.

Hoping this is real, my delusions are real.... that he cares for me a tiny bit.

I am so tired by the intense session we had, but I somehow let him have his way with me.

I let him take this body anyways.... it's meaningless now if he doesn't change it.

I noticed the time on the screen, it's almost 4 in the morning. I should get away from him. I tried to get up but he embraced tighter.

He whispered in my ears, "You are staying here..." he is awake.

He never let any women step in his bed, but he let me stay here.... he never let anyone in room either... but he asking me to stay here...

Seth... do I really mean something to you or I am just hoping for nothing?

I felt his hand circling on my back trying to comfort me to sleep. He whispered, "Sleep.... it's late...."

I closed my eyes ignoring the tears accumulated in my eyes. I hate myself for having these mess up feelings for someone who doesn't care.

I am going to get hurt again....

Maybe this time I will not survive this....

But why it seems too beautiful that I don't care. Am I ready to throw myself away for this one sided love?

Next day,

I argued with Greg, "Look... I use to share work with you... can I can still do it... what are you aiming for not letting do the usual work?!!"

Greg said, "You should do what he says... Anyways I didn't appreciate you taking over my work before... but you just jumped in right place... so yea... not ready to suffer again!"

He smiled sitting down. He whispered further, "So... Madam... go back to the cabin and do whatever the f*ck you want!"

He really thinks he can order me. I whispered, "Look... I am bored.... and I can help you... I managed the club just fine, I can order stock?"

Greg said with that smile, "No... Nobody tells me how to do my job!... I am trying not to get killed by your fiancé, and you being here is treat to me... and me ordering you is my death sentence!!!"

I glared at him, I whispered, "Coward!"

He smiled wider, he whispered, "Does not work on me... try something else!!"

I whispered, "F*eaking playboy!!!"

He whispered, "I am proud of it!" Greg said, "Now... Miss. Floris, get your ass back to your fiancé....." I folded my hands around my chest in anger.

He said, "SO... I get it now... You are trying to ignore him, by getting busy?.... silly... go back..." He laughed on me.

I warned, "Greg!"

Greg said, "Madam you look quite good with Master Morris!... go back..."

I said taunting, "You are acting like a match maker!!!... Idiot!!!"

He warned, "Hey... just go back to the cabin, order a drink and enjoy...." I whispered, "I am never helping you in anything again... you heard me!!!"

Greg said, "That's a favor... Miss. Floris...."

I was about walk out when I heard him, "You need more make up on that neck... I can see it....." He laughed at me, god! bunch of perverts. My face went red!!!

Seth I am going to punch you!!!!

I went to the cabin in hurry, Seth was doing something, he clearly noticed me. I took my bag, and searched for some foundation. I applied it on the same spot looking in the pocket mirror.

Then I went for some power, I noticed Seth was looking at me smirking. He noticed my glare, he kept his feet on the table as if he was sleeping, he whispered looking away, "Last night, what a amazing night!!!"

Now my face is tomato, I need some more make up!!!!

I heard him again, "Can't wait for more...."

I looked away from him, I should just slap him for real.

He should carry some shame.

Seth's POV:

I looked at her typing furiously on the computer, I smirked. She is really trying her best to ignore me.

I am getting angry at this point. She cannot pass me as a blow of wind. I kept my eyes on her pretty fingers. She surely knows what she is doing.

I couldn't help but to look at her eyes. She is behaving strange but... since Robert said something to her, she is acting up.

But had to admit, she is best when she is acting up.

I noticed her annoyed on the sleeves she was wearing. I kind of like the outfit. She folded when going to back to work again.

Surely a women who knows what she is doing.... trying her best to ignore me, but still you will come back to me at the end of the day.

I need to keep eye on the Robert Salvador too...

I can't let that snake slide to something. He needs to know with whom he is messing with this time.

Vanessa's POV:

I kept my eyes on Seth, as he was putting the diamond necklace on me. I am really nervous concerned.

He brought me here to shop, diamonds for me?

He got behind me putting it on me, My breath got stuck in lungs, the moment was freezing, Why he bothers to do this?

I felt him pulling something from the neckpiece. He passed the tag to the Sales women, he said, "I am taking it...."

I whispered, "NO... they"

He said as his hand on my shoulder, "Shu... I like it on you...."

I just had my gaze at him. He then said, "Show me rings..." The sales women got to her work.

Now there are like hundreds of rings in front of me.

Why he wants to do all this?

He was going through then when said, "What you think, Sugar?... which one?"

I asked instead, "Why?.... I don't need them..."

He chuckled, he just said, "Engagement rings you wanted them?"

I scoffed, he is here to prove his power. I know it, I just need to question his authority and he will prove himself every time.

He does not like to lose!

I whispered, "These things cost lot.... especially when it doesn't matter.... it's all waste of money..."

He looked at me, pulling me to himself, he whispered, "Why don't you try to waste my money?"

See....

He will do anything to prove himself right, he has all power and money.... How can he not prove himself?

I whispered, "I do not need ring......"

Seth said instead, "Sugar.... let's try this... You have a ring and we go out of here... or I know other ways..."

I folded my arms around my chest, I said, "I am in no mood. I am never sharing a pair of ring with you.... You don't even..." I stopped myself.

All I wanted to say is You don't even love me Seth.

This is all meaningless... Diamond has values when they are given with love or they just stones....

He kept his eyes on me, For long..., Like freaking long....I got nervous at this point. I whispered to myself I can pull it off.

I am walking with no ring from here.

I do not need ring from a man who thinks women need is only money!!!

He smirked after that angry face, he laughed turning to Terry who was looking at me like I am idiot!

Terry thinks everyone is IDIOT!!!

no BIG DEAL!

Seth said, "Terry... contact the store owner.... I am taking everything.... since my fiancé can't choose..."

My eyes went wide... what... what the f*ck he said!!!

Terry sighed pulling his phone!

This is madness!!!

I said in hurry, "No.... NO!!!... Wait... I know what I want!!!..." I pointed at the prettiest ring set for couple. I had to admit I can live at least like 5 years in luxury on it.

It's so expensive!!

Seth smirked, he took the ring and slide it in my finger. God!

He passed me the male ring, I took it hesitant sliding it into his finger too.

I whispered, "these look fine.... just take these only...."

I have it under control.

Seth grabbed my waist as he said, "Yea... but too late.... we are talking the entire Place.... You can try these on once we get home..."

I looked at him shocked.

He... He got us the entire store!!!!!

My subconscious taunted, "Walking out with no ring?... Now you have an entire jewelry shop!!!... FREAKIGN IDIOT!!!"

He grabbed my hand, I stopped him saying, "please.... all of this too much...." He just smirked pulling me out with himself.

This man, he never listens to me!!!
