His Despair

Chapter 20

Davina’s POV:- 

I was sitting in the garden and watching the water fountain, as all the things that happened between me and Arthur flashed in front of my eyes. A sigh escaped my lips as today’s events ran into my mind. 

He’s so confusing. 

 Day went on as I simply sat there, watching the way water flowing down the water fountain. I have nothing to do, Coop was not allowing me to do anything and kept on repeating that goddamn line all the time,

“Mr. Spencer told me not to let you do any kind of work,”

Gosh! I hate that statement, what does he want me to do, sit alone, doing nothing in this huge mansion. I just miss my job and my office; I wish I could go back and do my work as usual; I think I need to talk to Arthur about it!

What if he doesn’t agree? My subconscious questioned,

Still, I have to ask him and should convince him! I replied back.

I sighed while noticing the sun going down, I stood up and walked back inside the mansion. As I stepped inside the living room, I saw coop walking up to me, “Miss Ellis,” he called and stood in front of me.

“Mr. Spencer wants you to get ready,” he said and glanced at his wristwatch, “He will be here in a few minutes,” he added. I nodded my head at him and walked straight to my room. I pushed the door in and walked inside, a dress and jewellery box and shoe bag was placed on my bed.

I walked towards my bed and glanced at the things placed neatly on my bed, while a sigh escaped from my lips I turned around and strolled straight towards the bathroom and had a hot shower. I took a white fluffy towel and wrapped it around my body, walking out of the bathroom, I grabbed the dress. 

After cleaning my body, I wore the dress and looked at my reflection, it was a green lace, see-through, short dress which reached my thighs. As the cloth-covered my chest perfectly, my stomach and belly button were clearly visible from the see-through cloth, I turned around and gazed at the see-through backside which reached my waist and made my entire back clearly visible from the fabric. 

It fitted my body perfectly, showing off my curves at the right places, a smile formed on my lips as I took in my reflection. I dried my hair and straightened it, I applied natural makeup, green Smokey eyes and red lipstick which looked perfect for my dress. I opened the jewelry box and gasped when my eyes landed on the necklace, it was a beautiful necklace with a crystal silver pendant paired with stud earrings. 

I wore the jewellery and walked towards my bed, as I reached out for the bag my bedroom door was kicked open. I gasped and stepped back, Arthur was walking in dressed in a black suit and when his eyes landed on me, he stopped. I watched his eyes moving from my face to my dress, slowly taking my appearance in. 

I gulped hard in anticipation and tried to control myself, his blue/ green eyes held something which I didn’t get. He stepped ahead while moving his eyes back to mine, my heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage as silence filled my room. 

“Ready?” he asked while looking straight into my eyes, 

“Y-yes,” I stuttered, nodding my head, without saying anything he turned around and walked out of my room. 

I released a breath and pulled the shoes out of the bag; it was a beige high heel. I quickly wore them and grabbed my purse While walking out of the room. I reached the stairs and walked down, I felt someone’s gaze on me as I stepped down which made me look at their direction. 

I swallowed hard as his blue/green eyes followed my every step, this feeling I’m having right now is different, and I can’t understand it. As I stood in front of him, his eyes roamed on my face and I stood there watching him while swallowing hard. As usual, he was looking handsome and attractive in this suit. 

Handsome and attractive? So, you find him handsome and attractive! My subconscious mocked. 

What! N-no! I answered back.

I looked away from Arthur and nervously pushed a strand of my hair away from my face while glancing at him, his eyes followed my action and there was a sudden flicker of some kind of emotion, something in his eyes which made me stare at him in confusion. 

What was that?

I noticed the corner of his lips moving upwards while he turned around and placed his hands into his pants pockets. I quietly followed him behind, glancing at his face in confusion. 

Did he just smile at my action? I might have looked stupid doing that? Oh god! 

As we walked out of the mansion, one of his drivers opened the car door for me and I climbed inside. I watched Arthur walk around the car and stepped inside the driver seat, I immediately looked away as his eyes caught mine. 

What are you doing Davina? Don’t embarrass yourself in front of him, i***t. My inner self yelled at me. 

He drove us out of the mansion and now we are stuck in traffic, I was looking out of the window and a young couple caught my attention. The girl was holding the guy’s hand while looking at him lovingly, it was as if for her the whole world around them was invisible and he was the only one present. The way they were holding each other pulled me back to my past….

Past  

“I missed you,” he held my face in his hands while perking on my lips, 

“I missed you, too,” I replied, smiling at him, he pulled me close to his chest while wrapping his arms around my waist. 

For Christmas, I went back home and celebrated with my family. No one in my family still knows about Allen and I decided to keep it a secret for a while since I know how my father will react if I tell him everything. I missed Allen a lot during my stay at home, I tried to call him numerous times but my sister made it hard. She never left my side and stayed with me all the time. 

After I came back to Seattle, Allen was the first person I called and we decided to meet at the theatre. I missed him a lot and my happiness were at a peak when I saw his handsome face smiling at me. 

“How is everyone in your family?” he asked, his voice rumbling through his chest.

“They’re fine,” I replied, looking up at him smiling widely, he kissed my forehead and tightened his hold around me. 

“Are we going to stand like this whole day?” I said with a giggle, 

“Hm… don’t move, I missed this,” he replied hugging me tighter. 

“Allen!” I giggled while placing my hands on his waist and gently pushing him. He chuckled while removing his hands and moving back. He took my hand in his and we began walking inside the theatre. 

I was laughing out loud while watching the comedy movie, but Allen was quiet. I turned to him and saw him looking at me with a cute smile on his lips, “What? That was the best joke!” I said, surprised to see him not laughing at the joke. 

He shook his head and continued to watch me, I grabbed his face and turned to him, “Watch the movie,” I said giggling. I continued to laugh and enjoyed the movie while he enjoyed watching me and I didn’t disturb him, since somewhere deep inside me I was enjoying his attention. 

After watching the movie, we had dinner outside and came back to my apartment, as soon as I opened the door and stepped inside Allen turned to me and claimed my lips hungrily. He

pushed me up to the door while locking it and moving his hands to my waist. I kissed him back with the same intensity while placing my hands around his neck.

He lifted me up and I immediately wrapped my legs around his waist while kissing him like a horny woman. He walked us to my bedroom and kicked the door open. My chest was pressed hard against his while I was a moaning mess, he walked to my bed and climbed on it. He placed me on my bed gently without breaking the kiss. 

I could feel his bulge pressed against my belly and I was dripping wet down there, he pressed his hand on my breast, making me moan into his mouth, my hands automatically began removing his shirt buttons. 

He pulled away and helped me remove his shirt, he quickly pulled my top off my body and I was left with my bra, as his finger touched my skin I began laughing feeling ticklish, and he began ticking me hard and making me laugh out loud. 

“Allen,” I giggled while he continued to tickle me, 

“Stop!” I chuckled, but he ignored and enjoyed my misery, “I love you,” he said while claiming my lips again. 

“I love you too,” I whispered back, he pulled away and grinned at me while pressing his forehead to mine.

Present 

**horn**

I blinked my tears away and tried to control myself, my past will never allow me to forget what happened with me. All the things Allen and I did will never be forgotten as my mind always makes me remember what I did and what he did to me. 

I took a deep breath while closing my eyes, “Forget him, Davina” I chatted inside my head and opened my eyes. I turned my head and saw Arthur staring at someone by my direction, I turned to the direction he was looking at and saw the same couple. I looked back at Arthur and noticed his facial features, he looked lost as if remembering something which hurt him deeply. The hurt was evident in his eyes. 

Maybe he’s remembering his moments with his ex-fiancée, my subconscious commented.  

Maybe! I replied back while looking at his face. 

All of a sudden he turned his face and looked straight ahead of him, I noticed the way he clenched his jaw and my eyes moved to his hands which were gripping the steering wheel tight making his knuckles go white. It was anger, his features were clearly indicating that. 

What might have happened between him and his fiancée that made him angry as he remembers it? A question popped in my head, which made me curious. 

***

 The drive to his parent’s place was quiet, his mood was the same and he looked very disturbed. I don’t know what made him this disturbed and hurt, the way he looked at the couple was something I never saw him do. His face was calm, but there was a glint in his eyes as if the couple remembered something he did before which hurt him deeply. 

I couldn’t take my mind off it, the look he had on his face was flashing in front of eyes, again and again, making me curious to know about it. 

As we entered through big double gates, the modern, beautiful mansion stood proudly covered by tall trees around it. Arthur drove us inside and stopped in front of the main door, one of the bodyguards walked to us and opened the car door for me. I stepped out of the car and glanced at Arthur, who was walking with me. 

He walked to me and took my hand in his, “Smile!” he said in a low and authoritative tone before I could say anything he began dragging me with him. We walked through the main door and into the spacious living room, his hold on my hand was firm and made me hiss out of pain it caused. He glanced at me and followed my sight, realising why I hissed he loosened the hold and looked away. 

“Arthur!” came a familiar voice which made Arthur stop walking, I looked up from Arthur to find Arthur’s father walking down the stairs with a big smile on his face. He genuinely looked happy to find Arthur here and It made my moments with my father flash in front of my eyes. 

I miss you, dad!

“Happy to see you here son,” he said while walking to Arthur and hugging him, Arthur let go of my hand and hugged him back with a smile on his face. A smile formed on my lips as I watched them hug each other. 

“Son,” Came to a female voice, I turned my head and when I saw the woman smiling at Arthur lovingly, my smile dropped and our last encounter flashed in front of my eyes. 

What is she doing here?
