Davina’s Pov:-
This can’t be happening, I can’t believe this. April is his child? Oh god!
I quickly turned back and looked at Arthur, he was still talking to the person on the phone. I gulped hard and spun around, I can’t let him see this. If he discovers who her father is, then, I am sure how he’ll react. He will never let her stay here and I am 100% sure that he would put her in the orphanage.
No! No! I can’t let him do that.
I licked my dry lips in tension and glanced at the person in front of me. He was staring at me with a confused expression on his face, “Um… Did Arthur ask for this file?” I asked looking at the person.
He nodded his head in response, “Okay, give it to me, I will hand it over to Arthur.” I said with a smile on my face. I looked at him and noticed that suspicious evident in his eyes. I glanced back, “Look, he’s busy… and angry at a person at the phone,” I said and turned back to look at the person in front of me.
“It’s better if I take it, Don’t worry I will inform him that you brought this,” I said while keeping the smile on my lips, he glanced back at Arthur and I noticed him swallowing hard, he moved his eyes to me and slowly nodded his head.
“Okay, What is your name?” I asked,
“Ben,” he replied,
“Okay,” I smiled, he glanced at Arthur before turning around and walking out of the door. I clutched the file to my heart and turned back. Arthur was still on the phone and I could see him calmly listening to the person on the phone.
I made my way towards him, he was saying something on the phone and as I stood beside him quietly, he hung up and turned around. He looked down at me in surprise, “What are you doing here?” he asked while stepping back.
“I-I” I stuttered, “Ben gave this to me…” I said showing the file to him, he glanced at the file in my hands and moved his eyes back to me, “Thank you… for helping me….” I smiled and continued, “… but… I don’t want you to get involved in this anymore… you asked me to take full responsibility for her and… I will,” I said with a determined look on my face.
He stared at me with a blank expression, it was clear that he had thoughts running inside his head and it made me very nervous but I didn’t let that show on my face. I stood there and waited for him to say something and he kept staring down at me with his hands inside his pants pockets.
“Okay,” he replied at last, I smiled at him in response and turned around, “Wait,” he said while grabbing my arm.
Oh God! Did he suspect anything? Help me, Jesus!
My heart began beating rapidly against my ribcage, my breathing quickened, I swallowed hard before turning around and facing him.
“Yes?” I asked, looking at him with a blank expression.
“If I find anything suspicious, you can’t stop me…” he said while his eyebrow and I immediately understood what he was saying, I quickly nodded my head and relief washed over.
Jesus!
“And… you haven’t answered my question… earlier?” he said, I noticed a small smirk forming at the corner of his lips.
“Um… I wasn’t actually avoiding you, Arthur.” I replied and tried to not sound nervous at all.
“Uhm…” he said while folding his hand over his chest and pressing his finger at his lower lip, he kept staring at me with a mischievous grin on his face.
“What?” I asked,
“Nothing,” He replied,
“Then… Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked with a nervous chuckle.
“Why? Am I not allowed to look at you?” He asked, while looking at me with a pout.
“…” I looked away from him,
Oh god! Help me!
All of a sudden, he began dragging me with him while he began walking towards the stairs, “Arthur?” I called out while trying to pull my arm out of his strong hold,
“Where are you taking me?” I asked, while trying to get my hand free from his hold.
He completely ignored my question and kept pulling me with him, his hold wasn’t harsh nor painful but was firm. The way he was dragging me wasn’t aggressive but that was not decreasing my nervousness at all, I was scared inside. I clutched the file hard and hid it behind me, I can’t let him see this.
He dragged me towards the other side of our rooms, now we were walking through an empty hallway. I don’t know where he was taking me but something was telling me that I am going to get hurt badly and it was scaring me to death.
He stopped in front of a dark wooden double door, he looked back at me before unlocking the door and opening it. He dragged me inside and I gasped when I was suddenly standing inside a completely dark room,
“Arthur?” I called with fear evident in my tone. I could hear his footsteps, and suddenly I was hit with bright lights. I shut my eyes at the sudden brightness and blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to it.
As my vision became clear, a small gasp rushed out of my lips while my eyes registered the view in front of me. I was standing inside some kind of torture room, I don’t what they call this but my mind went blank as my eyes moved to every single thing present in the room.
A king-size bed was placed in the middle of the room, it was covered with grey pillows and bedsheets. Besides that had a grey colour couch, which was placed to the wall, my eyes moved to the stands placed beside that couch.
I gulped hard while looking at the equipment, I exactly know what room is this. By just looking at the bed and those wrist cuffs, Floggers, Spreader bar, Riding crop, Ankle cuffs, blindfolds and more, my throat went dry and I was breathing hard.
I swallowed carefully and glanced at Arthur, he was leaning against the wall and watching me curiously. I kept looking at him and back at those things, words weren’t coming out of my mouth and my mind went blank.
He smirked at my reaction and moved himself towards me, I gulped hard and stood there as I watched him. He stopped in front of me, and leaned down to my height, his face was now just mere inches away from mine. His hot breath hit my face while raising goosebumps all over my body, his closeness made my heart beat furiously and his intoxicating body odour was making my head spin.
“I fulfilled your request yesterday… and… it’s your turn,” he whispered while his eyes kept moving to my lips, his face was close to me that if any of us moved a bit our lips would touch.
I was breathing rapidly and my legs were shaking badly, “You need to fulfil my needs now…” he added while brushing his lips to my cheek, I gulped hard while staring at him.
“You are going to fulfil every single desire of mine… Davina,” he whispered in his deep husky voice.
Fuck!
