Sake of Love (Billionaire's obsession)

The moment

Roshana’s P.O.V

One night around 11 pm, when I was in my room, someone knocked on my room’s door. Who is it at that time? my mind was fully excited. I was expecting it should be Edward. I have no idea since when I became like this and started expecting it should be Edward. I felt like I was addicted, maybe his wilderness or his very rare gentleness. I did not know when or where it started, I did not know whether that was love or just a soft corner over Edward but still I was expecting him that day.

I said to myself, “It should be Edward. It should be Edward. It should be Edward”, I opened the door as quickly as possible with my eyes wide opened.

Its Edward.

He stood there with a shopping bag in his hand and gave it to me, “Here is a dress. Wear this for Eric’s marriage. I hope the size will fit you.”

“Eric’s marriage? Whom he is getting married to?” I was surprised to hear this.

“One of the richest business mans’ daughter”

“Eric and Hannah loved each other. Eric should not marry someone else. Why these rich people were so selfish? Money is more important than love? “I cursed Eric in my mind.

“when is his marriage?”

“On Sunday”

Edward was about to turn, and I said in a hurry, “And, I don’t think my presence is a good idea at Eric’s marriage. I won’t be knowing anyone there. I am not invited also”

Edward smirked, “No one knows you even exist except Eric. He will come tomorrow to invite.”

I just nodded lightly, “Okay” and he left. I saw his back as he was walking towards his room. I launched an unhappy face. I was expecting something like Edward would kiss me or do more than that. But he just gave the dress and left. 

I really didn’t have any idea since when I started expecting these things from him. Though he was rude on me, I really liked the way he used to touch me which was so gentle, a little wilderness, and full of passion. I really missed it. Though I hate him like if I had a chance to kill him, I would do it, but still, I missed him in bed.

I wore the dress and saw me in the mirror. The dress was perfect, cute, and fit.  I looked beautiful in that dress. I stared at myself for a long time.

On the day of Eric’s marriage with a legend business man’s daughter ‘Elena’.

The marriage was so grand and the whole city seemed to be celebrating because Elena’s father was the richest of all the rich people in the country. I looked great, so did Edward and Adrian. 

As we enter the hall, Edward held my hand as if I was his woman and took me to Eric’s parents and introduced me, “This is Roshana, my wife”. I was a little shocked by Edward’s words. My wife! Did he just say, my wife? What the f*ck. I didn’t react much and said, “Hello Aunty and uncle”.

Eric’s father greeted me with a smile, “I am so happy to meet you. But I am still angry with you Edward. You didn’t call us for your marriage.”

As Edward was replying to Eric’s father, Eric’s mother turned her face towards me and asked, “What are your parents doing?”

I didn’t get her question. What my parents were doing. Why does she want to know about my parents? I rubbed my hair in confusion and replied. “My mother worked as a clerk in a finance institute”.

She narrowed her eyes, turned her head away carelessly, and start welcoming other guests, “Hello Mr. Michael, it’s a pleasure to have you here, please have a seat”. I felt a little respect less by her attitude. I was not sure what to do and was standing with Edward uneasily.

Edward noticed me that I was not comfortable standing there, he held my waist as if we are a real couple. I felt a little shy and felt uneasy, “Edward, I need some water”. He just nodded, I lifted Adrian in my arms and turned to walk.

I heard a cunning voice of Eric’s mom, “Edward how could you marry a normal girl? Your mother would have never allowed you to marry her”. I started walking slowly because I wanted to hear Edward’s reply. But in that crowd and sound, I could not hear what Edward said.

I was sad after hearing her words. After all, I was just a normal girl who plays the role of a babysitter for my own son. I smiled bitterly and reached a food table, drank some water, and sat on my seat. Edward came and sat next to me.

The ceremony started, and the priest said,” Elena, will you take Eric to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and protect him, and forsaking all others, be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?”

“I will,” Elena said with a smile.

“Eric, will you take Elena to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honor and protect her, and forsaking all others, be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?”

“I will not. I am sorry Elena”, Eric replied. Everyone was in shock. Eric’s father stood up in a haste, “Eric what are you doing?”

“I am sorry Dad. I can’t do this.”

Elena’s father stood up and left the hall in an angry face. Elena and her family went behind him silently. The crowd slowly left the hall with curtesy, still few relatives and close friends were standing in the hall.

Eric’s mother roared, “Eric, you i***t, do you have any idea what have you done?”

“Mom, do you have any idea what you have done? I should not even call you mom. You have no right to be a mother. I am so ashamed of you”, Eric’s shouted.

Everyone was so confused by Eric’s words. Eric’s father slapped Eric so harshly. The entire hall echoed the slapping sound. Eric’s father shouted, “Eric shut up, what are you speaking? she is your mother. You should not speak to her like that”.

“Dad you have no idea what she had done”

“What she had done? Tell me”

Eric notified his Secretary, “Bring her in”. Hannah entered the hall with Eric’s secretary. Oh my god, its Hannah, when did she came to the town? Why she didn’t even call me? Everyone was wondering who that lady was.

“Dad this is Hannah. I love her. we were in a relationship for many years. We had even planned to get married a few years back. But mom, do you know what she had done?”

Eric’s father insisted, “Tell me, what did she do?”

Eric told something to his father’s ear in a low voice and no one could hear it.

“Eric don’t blame such thing on your mother.”

“No dad, it’s true. I promise”

“I will investigate on this matter. If I found that your mother did this. I will send her to jail”

Everyone was shocked including Eric’s mother. I have no idea what Eric’s mother has done. People started to go out of the hall. I rushed to Hannah and hugged her. When I was speaking to Hannah, Adrian was playing with a toy. Suddenly the toy fell on the road in front of the marriage hall where vehicles come at high speed.

Adrian ran to the toy and I turned my face to see Adrian who was already running towards the toy. I chased him and held him in the middle of the road.

A car rushed towards us, someone pushed me and Adrian to the other side of the road and I heard a big sound like an accident. Edward screamed “Ah”. The car hit him, and he was already on the ground a little far away from the car. The car had hit so hard, it made him threw away that far.

He was injured badly on his hand and was struggling to get up. The whole situation became more serious. Hannah approached us to help me and Adrian to get up while Eric went running to Edward, lifted him, made him sat in his car, and rushed to the hospital. I, Hannah, and Adrian followed them in Edward’s car.

In Hospital, Doctors and nurses came with the wheelchair and picked him to the emergency room. He was getting treated inside as we all stood outside in anxiety.

The doctor came out after an hour and said, “He got a serious fracture in his right hand and has mild scratches. Nothing to worry much but he should be very careful. Because it’s a deep fracture. The pain will be more. He should not move his hand for the next 3 months and should be in complete rest.”

I was so much worried. Though I didn’t like him, I felt sorry for him. Because he got injured because of me. I should have to hold Adrian and should have not let him run on the road. The doctor also said that pain will be more because of the deep fracture which really made me unhappy.

I felt guilty for Edward’s injury. For the next 15 days, I stayed in the hospital to take care of Edward until he discharged. I asked Hannah to look After Adrian and take him to her home. Eric’s parents often came to the hospital to visit him. Eric was with Edward most of the time.

While he got discharged doctor warned him not to move or use his fractured hand for any purpose.

Edward’s P.O.V

Roshana took care of me while I was admitted to the hospital. I thought she always hates me, but she takes care of me like a child. Even If I cough in the middle of the night, she brings me water without hesitation.

I was worried she didn’t sleep well these nights and always stayed in the hospital with me. I asked her many times to go home and take rest, but she refused. She needs rest, so I requested doctors to discharge me as early as possible.

I got discharged soon, started taking treatment in my home and I was taking complete bed rest in my home.

After a week, I was so bored to stay in the room always, Adrian was in school. I really want to be with Roshana. At least in the hospital, she was near to me always, but at the home, she comes and visits me like a guest. I missed her a lot so, I walked to Roshana’s room and knocked her room's door.

When she opened the door, her eyes wide opened as if she saw some ghost, she stared at me with gaze, “Edward, you should not strain much. Go take rest.”

“I got a fracture in hand, not in legs”, I snapped. I felt so different whenever she tells my name.

“Okay, I will help you to go to your room,” she said and held me gently. Her scent was sexy and made me feel high. I didn’t move as she tried to make me walk to my room.

“I want to see your room “I snapped.

“My room? Why do you want to see my room?”

“I just want to make sure that you are comfortable”

She stopped holding me and stood beside me. I entered her room and laid on her bed which was full of her scent. That moment I loved her room more than mine. I slept within a few minutes, I didn’t know how long I was sleeping in her bed.

At midnight, I woke up suddenly and didn’t realize for a moment where I was sleeping. Then I came to conscious and realized that I was Roshana’s room.

I searched for her and she was not in the room. When I got out of the bed, I saw her shadow on the floor and turned to see the balcony where she was standing and looking at the garden. I approached her, “Not sleepy?” asked in a low voice.

She peered at me and didn’t reply. That was a full moon day and her face was so clear and beautiful in the moonlight. “Sorry! I spoiled your sleep.”

“No, I am not feeling sleepy”, she replied in a gentle voice.

“Okay, you sleep soon, I will go to my room”, I said and took a step. She suddenly held my wrist, “Can you stay here with me for some time?” she asked in a sad tone. She seemed to be lonely.

I didn’t expect she would ask me to stand with her at the balcony. I thought I was just a pester to her but that moment I realized I misunderstood. I was so happy and felt bliss in my heart, but I didn’t show anything on my face. I nodded my head once, “okay” with an emotionless face.

We stood there for a long time, watching the moon and the quiet garden without speaking a single word. The whole view was filled with the green color of grass and trees and I felt so alive. Standing next to her made me feel so different which I really could not explain in words. I enjoyed that moment and wondering why every day was not just like that day. It was the start of the winter season and the weather was so cold. I felt shivering a little,  so did she, but still, we stood there.

After some time, “Let’s go inside. It’s cold. We will get cold”, She said this, turned and took a step. I abruptly held her wrist, “Roshana”, I called her name in a gentle voice. When she turned back towards me, I kissed her. Usually, she used to push me away or flinch backward but that day she hugged me holding her arms around my neck and she kissed me too.

She started holding me tightly and which was so romantic we both kissed for a long time until I groaned “Ah” out of pain because she came so close to my injured arm and I felt a rapid pain.

She felt so embarrassed for a moment, “I am sorry, are you hurt? Is it paining?” she asked me in an apologetic voice. I was such a stupid to shout at that moment. I was so mad at myself. I closed my eyes tightly and turned my lips.

“I am fine”, I snapped.

“Okay, let’s go inside, It’s cold. You will catch a cold”

I could not say anything, just nodded, and left to my room with a sad face. That was a beautiful moment and due to my stupid injury, I just spoiled it.
