11:30 a.m.
Inside CEO's cabin
"And that's how this scheme will be able to raise the shares of the company rapidly."
Evelyn replied in a determined voice to Dylan who was staring at her intensely. Her eyes were fixed on the screen of the laptop while his gaze was fixed on her.
Dylan was staring at Evelyn like a creep for the past two hours. He was dressed impeccably in his grey Armani suit. His black hair was perfectly coiffed. He had his chin rested on his left hand which was embraced with a shining golden Rolex and his right hand was placed on his crossed legs while he stared at her rosy lips with a soft smile that was moving non-stop.
Dylan had called Evelyn in his cabin this morning to discuss the new project. He didn't let her leave his room for the past two hours. Although he was fully satisfied with her presentation as it was up to the mark and precise, he didn't want her to leave so he kept asking her to explain to him the new marketing schemes, details about new shareholders and their plans. He even made her do research on the upcoming projects of other companies.
Evelyn was completely confused by his demeanor. She even told him that she will do full research on everything he had told her and would give him the details by evening but Dylan instantly declined her request. He ordered her to use his laptop and explain everything here itself.
But was Dylan even listening to her?
The answer is an obvious No. He was staring at Evelyn all the time while she kept explaining to him everything oblivious to his creepy eyes which were admiring her pretty face lovingly.
Dylan was obsessed by her mere presence. He wanted her to keep with him all the time. It was a well-known fact that Dylan was jealous of every man around her. He for sure didn't want Brandon nor Xander to wander around her but he was even jealous of Ian. Dylan disliked Ian and Evelyn's friendship even though the poor guy never gave him any inkling of whatever cobweb that lunatic was building up in his mind but he made up his mind to cut their ties in the future too.
Dylan only wanted Evelyn to himself. His eyes never left her not even for a single second. He was elated with his new feelings towards her but what he didn't know was that this over possessiveness to keep her by his side was slowly giving birth to a new fatal feeling inside him which was none other than…
A dangerous obsession.
Evelyn's P.O.V.
After explaining the new schemes of Johnson Corporation, I winded up my speech and waited for Dylan's reaction.
'But it never came?'
I furrowed my brows and looked up only to find him staring at me intensely. I straightened my posture and again try to look into his eyes but he kept staring at me while his lips were curved into a soft smile.
'Why is he smiling?'
I blinked my eyes a few times and cleared my throat a little to grab his attention but his gaze was fixed on my face. He didn't even blink for once God.
I was a bit dubious about his strange behavior since morning. I could sense that there was something wrong with this rich freak. It is because Dylan had never discussed the projects with me in his office. We always talk about them at his house inside his study but we never discussed them in the office premises as Dylan feared that people could get skeptical about us. Also, he had never allowed me to stay in his office for so long but today he had locked me up in his cabin for the past two hours. But I shrugged all these unnecessary thoughts because the thing which was bothered me for the past few days was his attitude.
His behavior towards me had abruptly taken 360 degrees turn. He had started behaving way too gently and kindly. But this time his sweet gesture didn't melt my heart but only raked up my horrendous old memories. My past experiences have taught me well that this guy can be anything but not kind. And if he is being one then I am definitely in trouble.
I glanced at Dylan through my peripheral vision and found him staring at me. I closed my eyes in frustration as his foolishness was starting to get on my nerves.
“So, I think it's enough for today”, I spoke in a cold tone and quickly shut the laptop.
“Wait!”
'Now he is speaking.'
I shot him a glare and found him smirking. “Now what?”, I spoke with a clenched jaw as I was completely exhausted.
“What about Yeich Corporations? I have heard that their new CEO is on a boil these days. Throw some light on him, my Genie.”
I looked at him in shock.
'Is he insane?'
I have been speaking non-stop for the past two hours but this man doesn't even care about me at all. His eyes had a glint of mischief and his upper lip titled up into a smirk as he noticed me fuming. My blood boiled in anger. I don't care if he cares about me but I am tired now. I dropped my gaze on my lap and slowly shook my head in denial.
“I-I need to go now. I have a lot of work. I will talk about this later”, I tried to be as polite as possible and stood up from the chair. All of a sudden Dylan blared in a gruff voice making my heart jump.
“DID I TELL YOU TO LEAVE?”
His baritone ran chills down my spine. I looked at him and found him watching me with murky eyes.
'He is back to his Heartless self.'
But I am tired. My throat had turned parched and my lips have also turned dry and chapped. My body is screaming for rest as I am completely worn out.
I looked at him and found him glaring me. His fierce eyes compelled me to follow his orders but the over tiredness of my muscles and soreness of my back persuaded me to plead him for mercy.
Tears pooled in my eyes as a storm of mixed emotions enveloped me. I was too angry at him for making me do work like a horse but at the same time, I was feeling so miserable as I am well aware that I can't even harm a hair on his head. My one wrong move can cost the life of my parents. I have seen once what he can do, I don't need to be reminded about his evil deeds again and again. I sat back on the chair but didn't spoke anything.
Dylan: Evelyn Black. I think I told you something, didn't I?
He growled making my heart thump in my chest wildly. I tried to say something but the moment I parted my lips, they started quivering. I quickly bit my bottom lip with my teeth and shut my eyes tightly.
I flinched as soon I heard the screeching of furniture rubbing the marbled floor. My heartbeat increased with every step he took towards my trembling figure. I fisted my skirt and closed my legs tightly as I was scared to death. I was trembling with trepidation and I have no intentions to see his next move.
All of a sudden, my eyes automatically shot open when I felt his hot breath on my forehead. I looked up only to find him right in front of my face. I startled and moved back in reflex but my action only triggered him. His eyes instantly dark and his jaw clenched. Dylan leaned more forward towards my face but I quickly placed my hand over his chest to stop him.
Evelyn: W-What are you doing?
I mumbled in fear and tried pushing him back but he quickly placed his both hands on the armrest caging me between his strong muscular arms. I tried to crawl back into the chair as much as possible. His face kept turning darker and darker with my every move.
There was only a sliver of space between our lips. Tears kept circling my eyes but I tried my best to push them back as I don't want him to see my weaker side. I couldn't see more in his raging eyes so I closed my eyes.
Dylan: Open your eyes.
He snarled near my lips. My heart lodged in my throat hearing his harsh tone but this time I didn't obeyed his words and kept my eyes closed.
Dylan: I said to open your eyes, Evelyn Black.
He grinded his molars in anger. I was dying out of fear and was on the verge of breaking down. I quickly bit my bottom lip and didn't move an inch.
A gasp left my mouth as all of a sudden, he pulled my lower lip with his thumb releasing it from my teeth and gripped my chin firmly. I immediately opened my eyes and looked at him in shock. His cold facade abruptly vanished in thin air while his gaze turned soft.
Dylan: Now you opened your eyes.
He spoke softly and started caressing my lips with his thumb. I jumped when his cold thumb made contact with my lips. I quickly grabbed his hand.
Evelyn: D-Don't do this.
I stuttered while removing his hand but he gripped my chin more tightly making me whimper.
Evelyn: W-What are you doing? Leave me.
I tried to remove his hands but he tilted his head a little and smiled.
Dylan: Never.
He whispered near my lips and brushed his lips on mine making me shock. I tried to remove his hands off my face but he pushed me back on the chair making my head collide with the headrest. My heart was palpitating wildly. Now I was terrified to death. I thought that maybe he would dish out at me for my disobedience like he always does but never in my life I anticipated him to behave this way.
Dylan kept leaning forward and rubbed his nose with mine.
Dylan: You're so adorable.
He chuckled making my heart drop.
'What's wrong with him?'
Evelyn: P-Please move back, D-Dylan..
I spoke in a broken voice as a lone tear fell from my left rolled down to my cheek. A horrifying gasp escaped my lips as he licked my tear and then pecked my lips. I cringe at his disgusting move and gave a hard push on his chest.
Evelyn: HOW DARE Y-
But my voice died in midway when he quickly slammed his lips on mine making me shocked.
My eyes widened. I started hitting his chest with my fists but he grabbed my nape and deepened the kiss.
Too say I was shocked would be an understatement. But this time I only felt anger and animus towards him. I started moving my head sideways to break the kiss but Dylan cupped my face and started devouring my lips like a hungry wolf.
I was shocked, panicked, scared, angry, terrified. All my emotions were in a haywire. I kept hitting his chest with all force but my strength was nothing compared to this beast. I screamed in the kiss while tears of anger and helplessness ran down my cheeks. He kept wiping them with his thumbs but didn't detach his lips from mine making me breathless.
Dylan tried to get access inside my mouth but I didn't let him which definitely made him angry. He immediately broke the kiss with a sloppy sound and glared in my teary-eyes.
Dylan: Don't resist me.
He growled fiercely. More tears escaped my eyes. I was about to push him when he again crashed his lips on mine.
Dylan wasn't even letting me breathe. My heart was hammering in my brain and I was slowly losing my senses. My mind couldn't focus on anything and all I could hear was the sound of groans escaping his throat as he devoured my lips like a parched traveller.
My vision turned blurry with tears. I was about to pass out when he pulled off. Dylan rested his forehead on mine while we both breathed heavily. I looked at him and found his eyes closed.
This was my chance to get free from this Devil. I quickly pushed him back harshly making him stumble backwards. I jumped from the chair and dashed towards the door when he pulled my left forearm from back making me panic.
Evelyn: NOOOO!!!!!
I screamed my lungs out but yelped in pain when he slammed me on the wall.
Evelyn: N-NO, H-HELP!!
I shouted and tried pushing him back. Dylan then pinned me on the wall firmly curbing my struggles.
Dylan: STOP IT!! YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM ME!!!
He bellowed at my face while glaring me furiously. I glared him back and yelled in anger.
Evelyn: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME?
My loud voice darkened his eyes more. He pinned both of my hands with his left hand and with his right hand, he cupped my face making me look in his eyes.
Dylan: I am not doing anything. It's you who is doing all the magic, My Angel.
He cooed in a soft voice near my lips and again started kissing me. I tried to kick him but he pressed his body against me as he pinned me on the wall. I cried, sobbed, whimpered but all my wails seemed deaf to this despicable man. But this time he was kissing me passionately yet hungrily. My struggles slowly waned as I was too tired but still didn't gave up.
I know this is again one of his sick games which he is trying to play with my foolish heart. But as it is said that 'Life is such a great teacher that If you don't learn your lesson, it will repeat it.' And I am not such a pathetic student who has to be reminded of her painful punishments all the time. I won't let him manipulate me every time and make him drop my guards down.
Dylan finally broke the kiss and stared in my teary-eyes. But before he could say anything, I shot him a death glare and spoke fiercely.
Evelyn: I don't know what games you're playing with me Dylan Black but I am warning you to end them before I really do something which you'll regret.
I spat but became shocked when he smiled at me softly and rested his forehead on mine.
Dylan: You don't have to do something to make me regret. I am already drowned in an ocean of remorse for hurting such an innocent soul like you. I have already been way too late to recognize your true love, your true feelings, your true emotions. I don't know how to make you realize how guilty I am but I know that no matter how hard I try, you won't understand.
He spoke with a sad smile and dropped his gaze to the floor slowly. A lone tear escaped his eye and rolled down his cheek making me shocked.
'No, no Evelyn. This is again a trap.'
I can't be soft with this guy. He is a master of charades after all. I quickly pulled my thoughts up and jerked away his hands. I freed myself from his hold and wiped my tears with the back of my hands.
Evelyn: Good to see that you know me too well so it won't be too hard for you to keep this damn thing in your mind that.... DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN. I am tolerating all your shits just because of my parents. But don't think that you could use my weakness to fulfil your sick needs. I am neither your wife nor one of your side chicks whom you can use for your own pleasure. I am only your employee that's it so it will be better if we keep our relationship professional. This time I am leaving you but if you repeat this next time then I won't spare you. I don't care if you kill me or my parents but I won't let you manhandle me every time just because you have our lives tacked in your bloody fists.
I spoke with gritted teeth and turned around to leave the room. I turned the door knob but...
The door didn't open. I tried multiple times but the door never opened. Anger rushed inside my veins. I immediately turned back only to see Dylan standing on the same spot with his eyes stuck on the shining marble.
Evelyn: DYLAN, OPEN THE DOOR. LET ME GO!!
I yelled while shooting daggers at him.
Dylan: Never.
He whispered.
Evelyn: Why?
I growled while balling my fists trying to suppress my anger.
Dylan: Because you're my wife, Evelyn Black.
He replied and finally looked at me with an evil smirk plastered on his face.
Now this is the limit. I was trying so hard not to lash out at this sick rich brat but his annoying stubbornness pushed my anger off limits. I stormed towards him and grabbed his collar.
Evelyn: WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PSYCHO? LISTEN, I AM NO MORE INTERESTED IN YOUR WICKED GAMES. NEITHER I AM YOUR GENIE NOR I AM YOUR WIFE! I HAVE ONLY ONE RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU AND THAT'S ONLY-
But before I could finish Dylan pressed his lips on mine and kissed me. I immediately tried to get away from him but he quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards himself. He then broke the kiss and cupped my face. He caressed my cheeks with his thumb and spoke in an eerie tone while staring in my eyes like a psycho making me froze in terror.
"Love, only love. You love me, I love you. We don't need any else my sweetheart as...
I am your husband, you're my wife.
I am only yours and you're Only Mine."
