Untamed

The Meeting

Darren’s Pov

Mitchelle got to her room and I realized what I had just done. Ever since I broke up with my ex-girlfriend Lizzy, anger has become my problem. I struggle to have a proper relationship with people, most especially ladies. I am the only child of my parents, my Mom died when I was twenty-two years old. She couldn’t bear the consequences of her actions toward my dad.

My Mom was a cheat. One would have expected my dad to be the cheat rather than my mom but the reverse is the case. She couldn’t bear the silent treatment my Dad gave to her so she fell ill and passed on.

Before she died I struggled to forgive her but after pleading for forgiveness on her sick bed I was forced to accept her back before she died. After which I met lizzy and fell In love with her. She also shattered my heart and I swore never to get myself involved with any woman emotionally because they are all cheats and liars.

My best friend Josh was able to calm me down, I sat down quietly. The maids were not around to clean up the mess I made, Josh decided to clean it up himself.

"You should apologize to her “ Josh said moving closer to the chair I was sitting on. I raised my head to look at him well.

"I just spoke English and not Spanish, I said you should apologize to her. Pouring your anger and frustration on an innocent girl won’t solve your problem."

I nodded my head in agreement to what he has just said. Josh has been my childhood friend who is two years older than I am and acts like my father.

I sluggishly followed Josh as he led me towards Mitchelle's room.

"Sorry for creating a scene in your presence but that doesn’t mean I forgive you for eavesdropping on my conversation." I said and walked away. Josh stayed back and apologize to her properly but I don’t care.

NEXT DAY

"What the hell are you still doing upstairs" I yelled at Mitchelle. "We have a Get together party to attend," my Dad and Mitchelle's father thought it would be a good idea to introduce Mitchelle as my wife to our intending business partners. My company is hoping to badge a business deal with a popular Russian tycoon. After the long wait, Mitchelle finally came down and we both headed straight to the venue.

Every lady I have come across disgusts me and Mitchelle is not exempted. Getting involved with ladies irritates me but I don’t have a choice in the case of Mitchelle. I had to do this for myself and for my company. I took a deep breath and held Mitchelle by the waist, while we walked into the hall, the hall was filled with business/company owners. Mitchelle seems very uncomfortable but I don’t really care.

I went ahead to introduce Mitchelle to both my business partners and also intending ones. After the introduction and all, Mitchelle said she wanted air outside, I let her go, and continued with what I was doing. Twenty minutes passed and she wasn’t back yet, I decided to go check on her, not that I do care, I am just making sure she doesn’t disgrace me.

I stepped outside and saw Bryan walking closer to Mitchelle, I took a step backwards to see what Bryan was up to. He stood opposite Mitchelle and greeted her with a smile on his face, she responded to him but wasn’t interested in having a conversation with him.

"So you’re Darren’s wife?“ he asked Mitchell

She gave a fake smile and nodded .

"Darren has always had a good taste in women and it turns out I always want what he has“ Bryan said smirking. Mitchelle stood there uninterested in whatever he was saying. Bryan drew his hands closer to her chin and dragged her by the waist towards him, at this point I couldn’t hold it in any longer, I rushed towards him and dragged Mitchelle out of his grip and then punched his face.

"What the hell do you think you’re doing?" I yelled at him. He held his chin and tried standing up, I punched the other side of his face which made him fall on the floor. He looked directly into my eyes and laughed mischievously.

"History is about to repeat itself, just like I took Lizzy away from you, I will take this trash also“ he laughed mischievously pointing towards Mitchelle’s direction.

I was starting to loose it, I tried taking a deep breath to control my temper but it wasn’t working. Out of rage I picked up a chair next to me and was about to hit it on Bryan when I felt Mitchelle’s hands wrapped around my waist.

“Please don’t do it” she said crying “Please“ she cried holding my waist firmly.

I took a deep breath and let the chair fall off my hands, I turned around and hugged Mitchelle tightly like she was about to run off. Ever since my anger issues started, Josh and my dad have been the only ones who can calm me down, but surprisingly Mitchelle was able to do so. Bryan stood up staggering, few people later came to his rescue. He was lucky I didn’t hit him with the chair. Bryan, Josh and I were best friends before things turned sour. Bryan started going up against me, and then considered me his enemy. He went as far as sleeping with my ex-girlfriend Lizzy and also stealing the ingredient used in producing most of the skincare products in my company.

Mitchelle and I went back inside the hall to inform my dad of our dismissal. Mitchelle never spoke a word throughout the journey back home neither did I say a word to her too. I didn’t want it to seem like I was weak, so I refused saying a word. We arrived at my house and both went to our various room. I layed on my bed reminiscing what happened during the day.

“Stupid of you“ I said to myself hitting my hands on my head. "Why did I defend Mitchell like I did earlier “ the voice in my head spoke to me.

"Shut the hell up” I hit my hand on my head

"I only did that to to teach Bryan a lesson “ I said to myself again trying to convince the voice in my head.

Rubbish, I hissed and rolled over to the other side of the bed.

"Leave me alone!!" I heard Mitchelle yell "I said leave me alone “ she yelled again

I rushed over to her room to see what was going on.

She laid on the bed rolling from one end to the other as if fighting for her life, I heave a sigh of relief realizing it was actually a dream. I tapped her so she will wake up, she held onto my hands and dragged my hands closer to her . She whispered In tears "please don’t leave me." I sat down on her bed waiting for her to release my hands but she still held onto it tightly.

What the hell!! Am I suppose to stay awake while she’s asleep I thought. I adjusted myself properly on the bed and didn’t realize when I fell asleep..

Next morning

"What the...!! what the hell are you here?" Mitchelle yelled waking me up from sleep.

"What am I doing here??" I yelled back at her.
