His beautiful Mute wife

The Envelope

Tears started flowing out of my eyes like a never ending river.

He stood there stiff holding his breathe and without blinking his eyes.His handsome face showing disbelief and pain.

He stepped forward and pulled me to his embrace. He hugged me tightly with my head laying on his chest sobbing and his arms around my waist in a firm grip.

Staying here in his embrace, protected by his arms feels like home.

Slowly my sobs turned into sniffs and he let go of my waist. He cupped my face in his hands while his thumb caressing my cheek. 

Lifting my head, I saw him intensly gazing at me. It was those damn eyes,the kind that made me feel like I was the only girl he could see.

This is not what I expected...I mentally prepared myself to be dejected...after all it's not new. 

May be he is feeling sympathetic towards me...but what's the use..

Not Sympathy...not anything will bring my voice back....and most importantly it will not give what I lost other than my voice.

I should be strong to stand against him. I should not feel anything for him. He is not a person to marry someone like me. After all he is a multi-billionaire at the mere age of twenty six years, the most eligible bachelor of New york city for whom any woman would be on her knees.

It feels like all the healed wounds on my heart are opened by seeing him. He is still the dangerous person who he was back then, I thought I had forgotten everything long ago, but who knew the same feelings would come back when I saw him again ?

I swiftly pushed him away and wiped the tears flowing down my eyes. 

I opened the notepad on my mobile and typed 'Mr. Hamilton,you should not be here. Everyone must be looking for you in the party. I am sorry for my emotional trantrum.,it's just that I remembered someone close to me seeing you.I once again apologise for my behavior earlier...' I showed to him and a frown appeared on his handsome face. But nonetheless he left the room without saying a word.

I quickly composed my appearance and left the cabin. I fumbled around opening the door. I know that I am in a complete daze.

I entered the conference hall and came across Kathleen. 

"Where are you...Eli...I am searching for you since fifteen minutes...but you are no where to be seen". She spoke with a little hint of anger in her voice.

I motioned her towards the garden area saying ' Just went out for fresh air'.

Kathleen is wearing a blood red colour strapless knee length gown matching with red stilettos. She is looking beautiful in the outfit.

'Whatever..' she muttered and started dragging me towards Trevor who is in standing in a corner with bored look painted on his face.

A huge grin broke on his face after seeing us. 

"I thought you fainted in the washroom..."he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"She just went to garden...stop your drama.."Kathleen rolled her eyes at Trevor's statement.

I looked around the hall to see him..but he is nowhere to be found.

Seriously !! this is how you are going to pretend like you don't remember him...by searching him just after you saw him twenty minutes back....My subconscious mocked me.

Shut up! I am just looking for Jennifer, not him. I convinced myself whereas my subconscious rolled its eyes at me.

"Hey.....Trevor what is the blue envelope in your pocket.." Kathy spoke pointing towards his shirt pocket. Indeed there is a small blue colored envelope there which can only be seen when observed keenly.

"N-Nothing" he spoke while stuttering. It's my first time seeing him nervous.

"No....don't lie...show me...is it a love letter?" Kathy smirked.

Before he replies she grabbed the envelope from his pocket. His eyes widened in panic.

Kathy stood behind me with the envelope in her hand while Trevor stood in front of me trying to catch envelope from her hands. I am sandwiched in between both of them.

I started feeling uncomfortable as his whole body touched mine but they nevertheless didn't mind any of it. I tried to get out from between them but they made it impossible.

"I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE YOUR ATTENTION ON ME..." we are startled by the loud voice of someone resonating in the hall drawing everyone's attention to him.

My eyes widened as saucers as I saw him shooting daggers at me. He is looking at me like I am a meat of his prey.

"I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE YOUR ATTENTION ON ME. WE'RE HERE CELEBRATING THE GOLDEN JUBLIEE OF 'H.L ENTERPRICES AND INC........' none of his words registered in my mind. I kept staring at his blue orbs drowning in them as his smoldering gaze never left mine throughout the speech.

He finished his speech and trailed back towards his chair while his gaze still lingering on mine.

"OMG !! did he just watch us.....Wow !! "Kathy spoke in a dreamy tone looking at the silhouette of the person sitting far away from us and staring at us without blinking his eyes.

"Isn't he too hot....?"

"I can die looking at his ravishing blue eyes...."

"He is way far more handsome than the top models in his magazines .."

"But I heard he hates women...."

As soon as his speech completed the hall is filled with gossips and rumors all about the same handsome devil.
