Chapter 39 crumbled Fate

Elena Davis,

It's been exactly five hours and twenty four minutes but still his meeting hasn't finished yet. What happened? Why is it taking so long? I walked in the direction of the coffee table in my room to drink one more glass of water to calm myself down but I don't think it's going to work on me. I heard a knock on the door as cool water cascading my throat, putting the glass down. I turned to see Alex enter my room and widened the door.

A maid entered after her holding a tray of food in her hand, she quietly put that tray over the coffee table and left with a node on her head without uttering a word.

"You didn't come for dinner, are you ok?" She inquired with a worried face coming towards me.

"I am really sorry for not informing you Alex but I don't feel like eating anything right now." I apologized, she made me sit on a nearby couch.

"Because, brother wasn't there?"She asked in a teasing tone wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"Alex, no. It's not." I responded smiling at her. She is very fond of Arius, always lingering behind him as his shadow.

"Oh, come on. I know about both of you otherwise he won't bring you here with us." She reasoned giggling at me.

"We are not official yet." I reminded myself, scooting back on the couch.

"So, what? You will soon." She waved her hand at me. Should I ask her about why men were roaming around holding machine guns in their hands? Will she answer me? Yaa maybe, it's worth a shot.

"Alex, I saw that man coming a few hours ago, the same Arius I had met with." I initiated hesitantly in low tone glancing at her paleing face with the mention of that man. Her frame went rigid as my words left my mouth.

"El, brother, forbid me to tell you about that, please don't ask me about this." She replied lowering her face to avoid my gaze. Disappointment embraced me, I should have known this before he must have taken precautions but my heart wasn't calming at all. It's getting desperate about something I don't know yet. My heart still craves answers which I was forbidden for.

"Alex, I know but please at least tell me when his meeting is going to finish? It's been so long, I'm getting worried." I confessed, she chuckled and put her hand on my shoulder.

"You love him, right?" She asked calmly, smiling at me with her wet eyes, making me surprised. I lowered my head to avoid answering her. It doesn't matter if I love him or not because he loves Aria not me. His obsession can't be with him.

"El?" She called, tugging my hand continuously eager to hear my yes.

"Why didn't you have your dinner yet?" We turned to hear Arius's raspy high pitched voice. He finally came. I got up hurriedly but halted at my pace within a few steps, glancing back at Alex who was giggling at my reaction when I heard his voice.

"Good night El, brother." She left suppressing her giggle. She showed her thumb at me while closing the door. Arius was standing there watching me calmly holding his head high resting his hands in his pocket. I ran over him as soon as she closed the door and jumped in his arms to soothe my burning heart. He grabbed me, wrapping his both hands around me, with a chuckle nuzzling his head over my shoulder.

"You took so long." I complained while kissing his neck twice, relaxing myself in his hands.

"I am sorry, Snowflake." He apologized, rubbing my back and squeezing me lightly. He never apologized before for his unforgiving acts but he was doing something ignorant like this.

"Arius, I need to know is everything ok with you?" I questioned, unknown fear was stabbing me brutally constantly after watching the entry of that old man in this house. I know he will handle every situation but I just wasn't able to calm myself.

"I am perfectly fine, I'm fragile." He mumbled making me look at him stroking my hair trying to smile at me. I nodded and took his lips in mine. He responded immediately, sucking my bottom lip in his and tried to sneak his tongue in mine but I broke the kiss making him groan in disinterest narrowing his eyes at me.

"Why haven't you eaten anything yet?" He asked me while stroking my thigh around his waist, his stern face was relaxed and I was glad watching him.

"I wasn't feeling like eating." I replied walking towards the sofa again turning my back at him. I sat down and saw he was approaching me while holding the plate in his hands.

"I am not hungry at all, Arius." I confirmed scooting back and getting comfortable on the sofa. He didn't react but sat beside me putting the plate over the hand rest. He pulled me, snaking his hand around my waist and made me sit on his lap.

"Arius." I breathed as he silently held a pasta filled spoon over my lip and pressed my bottom making me open my mouth in surprise but shooed the spoon in making me eat.

"What took you so long? You never attended any meeting back and suddenly this long." I asked and took another bite from his hand.

"Sorry Snowflake, Father proposed last minute changes in near future plans in business." He responded by caressing my neck with the back of his finger while feeding me. He apologized twice, he had definitely done something wrong his heart wasn't convinced with. I took the plate from his hand and fed him because I know he must have come here directly from the meeting without having his dinner. He opened his mouth pulling me closer to him, making me feel his increasing hardness over my core igniting desires.

"Do you have something to tell me?" I asked feeding him the last bite from the plate. He nodded, getting up holding me over his waist and started walking towards the side table. He picked up the glass of water and gulped down half of the glass keeping his eyes on me. He rested the glass down and pulled me in a kiss, making me drink water from his mouth. I pushed him slightly, breaking the kiss, lowering my head from his smirking face.

"Yes, I have something to tell you." He confessed walking towards the open balcony of my room, sneaking his hands inside my top, tracing my bare back with his fingers. He sat over the lounge and reclined over it, laying me over him. I kissed his neck softly resting there.

"I am going to take over the whole business soon." He announced smelling and nuzzling his face over my neck and shoulder hugging me tightly. I jerked up to face him as I was shocked to hear him. He cupped my face in his and nodded at me as he was assuring me what I heard.

"Congratulations, darling." I replied kissing his forehead, he didn't react but lifted my top upwards slowly as he was demanding his reward, I giggled and unbuttoned his shirt one by one. He threw my top on the other side pressing my bosoms in his both hands preparing kisses over my throat sucking my vocal box breaking loud moans from me.

"We should head inside if you are willing to claim your prize." I mumbled arching my back, giving him more access to me. I thought we would continue over my bed but he got up and laid me down on my back, surprising me. I understood he wanted us to make love here in the open between cool air teasing our heating bodies.

"You are not my prize, Snowflake. You are my right. You are the last string of mind and the link I was always searching for." He replied while taking off my shorts peppering slow soft kisses over my stomach. Normally, he talks little but whenever he talks something like this I can't stop hurting my heart to be with him for a few more seconds.

He shamelessly smelled my core keeping his eyes on me and licked grazing his tongue over my entrance.

"Arius." I yelped in shock as he did that, he never went down on me before. He held my thighs wide open restricting them to shut and sucked my bud making me scream uncontrollably in pleasure.

"Arius, I can't- Ahh- bear- any- more." I spoke between my ragged breaths trying to push him but the way he was looking at me, I realized tonight was going to be a rough one.

Heated sunlight pulled me out of darkness, I turned to hide my face from discomforting heat but got pulled into a tight embrace. Arius was smirking at me when I opened my eyes, I was resting over his chest, his hands wrapping around me inside a blanket. I don't remember when we came inside, the only thing I remember was the immense pleasure we created until we both consumed the last calorie we had.

I smirked at him watching the dark red mark just below his jaw symbolizing my unfazed love for him and pecked it lightly increasing the smile over his lips.

"Morning, my Snowflake." He greeted, while turning us and pinning me down.

"Do you think it's only you? I have more vivid skills than you." He responded by grinding himself over me. I creased my forehead in confusion and he got up picking me up with him in his arms.

"Ahh, slowly Arius." I yelped in agony as painful ripples passed down my lower stomach.

"I will be careful, is it that painful?" He asked worriedly, walking slowly.

"Who told you to go that much rough with me?" I mocked wrapping my hands around his neck.

"it's not my fault that you are so fucking addictive and don't worry you will get used to wake up tharoughly pleasured by me." He answered causally, making me burst into laughter at his bold comments. He entered the bathroom and put me down lightly. I turned and left shocked to see myself filled in black and blue hickeys. He left me totally speechless, I turned to face him crossing my hands over my chest narrowing my eyes at him.

"I won't do it again, as long as you know who you belong to." He replied pulling me over him with my waist. Why is he behaving so possesive all of sudden? Even last night, he made love as he was hungry for years.

"Ok." I agreed and he leaned in for a kiss with his twinkling eyes.

"It's almost nine, everyone must be waiting for us at the breakfast table." I reminded him walking to take a shower. He chuckled and followed me.

As we descended the stairs together approaching the breakfast table everyone giggled at Arius as he was proudly exposing the hickey I gave him like a trophy. I told him to hide it but he opened one more button highlighting it.

Arius's father was waiting for us, he stood up as we took our seats. He smirked at Arius watching the stunt he was pulling.

"I have an announcement for everyone." He started getting everyone's attention.

"My son Arius is soon going to take over the whole business." He announced proudly watching him holding. Everyone started to cheer for him, Nicole even whistled a few times making him roll his eyes at him. I grabbed his hand below the table , glancing at him.

"And soon, he is going to marry too." He added turning celebration to grave silence, trading my heart under his announcement.
