Chapter 5 Fighting Back!

  • Veronica's pov
  • To be honest I never liked the sweet pain so much, it was worth. Pushing and crossing my limits was rewarding.
  • I don't remember having mind-blowing sex like this. He is too good in bed and not to mention that he also cleaned me after we were done. Zen never did this.
  • I blinked my lazy eyes open, it's morning. I didn't even realise it. I have got only two hours sleep after he was done with me. Not like I am complaining.
  • I don't want to get up from this warm bed, silk bedsheets are caressing my body. And I am too tired to move my body but I have to go. This is not my place and I can't stay here.
  • I looked beside me but found the spot empty. I thought he left but he was standing against the glass wall where he was standing last night.
  • 'I like Darkness'
  • I wonder what he meant by that.
  • My eyes wandered on his bare back, he is wearing only pants and standing like a boss while keeping his hands in his pockets.
  • My body is too much attracted towards him than it should be. I shouldn't be feeling like this. I accept that he is handsome and my body was craving for attention but that's it. I should stay away from this rich shark.
  • No! I don't regret last night but I have to be careful. I can't risk my Ryan's life.
  • I got up and grabbed my clothes from the floor.
  • It's seven o'clock, I have to go back.
  • I wore my clothes and grabbed my purse.
  • "I am leaving"
  • I said looking at his back.
  • He was aware of my movements but he only turned to me when I said that. He looked at me with his red eyes like he haven't sleep at all.
  • He is looking sexy with messy hair and a wide chest, he is perfect!
  • "You can stay if you want... You are tired..."
  • His thick accent is another attractive thing about him.
  • "Thank you but I should leave now"
  • I can't stay here in his house.
  • He looked at me for a moment, like he is judging my face.
  • "My driver will drop you..."
  • He broke the silence.
  • Does he give a car ride to all his one night stands, I highly doubt.
  • "Thank you, Mr. Volkov but I'll manage..."
  • Why do I feel like he has hidden motive behind his behavior.
  • "Do you regret last night, Doc?"
  • His question took me off guard. Why does he care?
  • "No!"
  • I replied confidently.
  • "It was my decision and I was aware of the possible consequences but I believe that it was just for last night and we should leave it there... I don't think I can take another favor from you, I have already crossed my limits... I hope this is our last meeting, Mr. Volkov..."
  • His face remained void the whole time, he didn't reflect any reaction.
  • "Have a nice day"
  • I turned around and walked out of his penthouse. I am not surprised that he has penthouse in city's most expensive building.
  • After attending rich parties with Zen I have understood that rich people are the worst animal on this earth. I have learnt to stay away from them.
  • I hailed a cab and went back to my house, I am not sure if I should call it mine from now on.
  • I embraced myself for the worse and walked inside the penthouse which Zen owns in the city. I sometimes wonder how he has so much money, his job doesn't offer this much, I am sure of it.
  • When I entered I was greeted with unpleasant scene. Mila wearing my clothes and sitting at the kitchen counter while Zen is treating her like she is made up of glass.
  • "Good morning Veronica"
  • Mila looked at me with smirk like she knows something.
  • I quickly covered my neck with my hair before Zen sees it and creates a drama.
  • "Where were you whole night?"
  • Zen asked looking at me suspiciously.
  • Oh! The fuck I care about his question. He only cares about his reputation, nothing else.
  • "Hospital... one of my patient needed urgent surgery..."
  • I replied bored and started walking towards my room.
  • We don't share room anymore.
  • "Get ready! I am leaving in fifteen minutes"
  • He said making me halt.
  • "I am not coming today"
  • My body is tired and I need sleep after whatever I have done last night.
  • "May I know the reason"
  • He asked like I am doing nothing.
  • I closed my eyes frustrated.
  • "I am a human Zen... I get tired too... I haven't taken one single leave in these two years... I think you should have this much humanity in you..."
  • I glared at him.
  • "I am not running away from my responsibilities... Doctor Matthew will attend my patients... You don't have to worry about it..."
  • He rolled his eyes and I almost slapped his annoying face.
  • "I hope you did all arrangements for aniversary party..."
  • He asked and now I rolled my eyes.
  • "I was busy taking care of your VIP patient, remember?"
  • I mocked.
  • "I think you have enough money to hire a planner and impress your father... I'll play along... I am tired, don't bother me..."
  • I went to my bedroom and slammed the door shut before he says anything. This is the first time I have lied to him and not for him.
  • I locked the door and took off my top. His marks are everywhere, on my neck, chest and stomach.
  • I traced the mark on my neck, I still remember how he gave me this. Our bodies tangled together while he was deep inside me.
  • God! I have to take my mind off of this. I shouldn't think about it.
  • Pushing all my thoughts aside, I went to the shower after stripping and stood under it. It felt good when warm water touched my sore body.
  • I can still feel him between my legs, on my neck and everywhere.
  • Arghh! Stop it Veronica.
  • I took a long blissful shower I don't know after how long. In all these hectic things, I forgot how to take care of myself.
  • Enough now! It's time to love myself and only myself. I am tired of all dramas.
  • As usual there was nothing for the breakfast so I made myself a sandwich and went to the bed, I Need sleep. That man didn't let me sleep like he said.
  • 'you are not here to sleep'
  • After peaceful sleep of five hours I woke up, fresh and satisfied.
  • I still had time so I decided to go on a shopping for anniversary party, it's been long since I have went to the shopping.
  • I quickly changed myself into dress and got ready after grabbing my purse i walked out just to see Mila.
  • I don't know what to feel about this woman.
  • Should I hate her because she is my husband's girlfriend? But I can't blame her when my own husband is a cheater.
  • Should I feel pity because she chose the man like Zen who doesn't care about anyone but himself only.
  • I think ignoring her will be the best decision. I was about to walk away but stopped when she said...
  • "Are you going out, Veronica?"
  • She smiled at me while grabbing the Apple from the kitchen counter.
  • "Yes"
  • I replied with not so interested expressions.
  • I don't want to get close to this woman.
  • "Ohh that's nice... Actually, I was feeling tired so I took a day off..."
  • Her voice is too polite and it's making me uncomfortable.
  • "Where are you going by the way... Can I join you? I am feeling bored"
  • The fuck I am taking her with me and how can she ask me this, like seriously!
  • "If you are tired then you should rest, Mila..."
  • I faked a smile.
  • "I thought going out will be refreshing"
  • She shrugged.
  • "Don't talk like we are friends... You know what's our relationship. You are pregnant with my husband's child..."
  • I glared at her.
  • "I don't want to talk to you... Let's just avoid each other, it will be good for both of us..."
  • She sighed.
  • "Veronica I know you love Zen___"
  • "Nahh! Correction, I used to love Zen... Now staying with him is my helplessness. I really don't care what you guys are doing, just keep it away from me..."
  • I replied and walked out of the main door.
  • How I am going to spend one year here? My head started throbbing just with the thought.
