You Awoke A Beast in ME!

Chapter 9

Meera’s POV

I was in a huge library when Mr. Krishnan cut the call. I don’t know where to find the file or how to even find it. But there has to be a start, I began searching among the files rack when I heard a rustling sound. I was scared to death, I could feel like my heart could jump out from my mouth any moment now.

" Searching for something sweetie? “,

I could see the tall and huge frame standing inches away from me and his cold stare made me anxious.

" No, it’s nothing “,

I managed to say, trying to calm myself. That’s when he stepped a little more closer. I know we were not touching but he was close enough to hear my heart beat.

" oh, is it? Are you hiding something from me? “,

I looked into his eyes, I was sure he was suspecting me of something. I looked him in the eyes only to find him step away from me.

" great! If you are free now I have something to discuss with you”,

What does he want now? I followed after him. I was looking back at the number of racks in the library. How am I going to find the file in this labyrinth?

Soon we were in his room, on our way to the room he was silent. I wonder what he wants to talk about, I followed him and he closed the door. Why does he have to do that? Its not like anybody is going to listen to us talking.

" you see Meera, I’ve been quite busy since last night that I couldn’t give you my full attention. ”

Eh? What’s with this all of a sudden?

" I understand Mr. Khan, you must be very busy handling the business. I am totally fine, in fact I intend to leave this place as soon as possible “,

I don’t understand why did I use such a formal language while talking to him. But I just couldn’t understand why there was this dangerous aura coming from him. I could smell a rat, he was definitely planning on something but, the worst part is I just can’t guess it.

" Mr. Khan? Nice! I like it. But, for you I’m just Aryan. I also find it sexy when you call me moron”,

He was sitting on the bed and I was standing. He looked at me with a sly grin as he spoke.

" here are the papers that are going to make you mine officially “,

As soon as he spoke, I gave out a humourless laugh.

" Haha! As if I’m going to sign them”,

“oh, Darling you have to and there is nothing you can do to escape this. You know why? Because the moment you step out you will be held hostage by the men of the guy I shot dead for you. Forget about the protection from police or any other sources, you have been involved with me to the extent where things cannot be undone. So, I suggest this is your best option for now”,

Of course I was aware of this situation, in fact I know that no one will believe me even if I provide the evidence because they would suspect me of being involved with him.

" listen, this is sudden and I’m not going to do it in pressure. ”

The best way to win an argument is to play a victim.

He got up from the bed and walked towards where I was standing. His eyes had rage. I wonder if he was always this dangerous, my back hit the wall and he his face was inches away from mine. For the first time, there was this regret in my mind as to why did I end up like this.

" I’ll ask you only once”,

He growled. I gulped and then took a deep breath.

" I plan on leaving this mansion, there is nothing you can do to stop me”,

I said it but, my heart was throbbing like crazy. He was standing before me, inches away, it’s not like he had trapped me. But his huge frame before my petite one looked intimidating, there was no way I could move without brushing to his chest.

" you will regret it”,

He growled near my ear before picking me up in his arms and throwing me on the bed. I had a very bad feeling. This is not good. Please, I have to stop this.

" you awoke a Beast in me! “,

He said as he pinned my arms on the bed. What is he unto? I have had quite a violent childhood, that’s one reason why I get panic attacks when I am in a situation which involves violence. I could feel my breathing get uneven, it was like I am struggling to breath but he just wouldn’t leave me. I had lost the energy to fight him.

He was like an animal on me, I was struggling to breathe but he took that as an opportunity to bite my neck. I could feel a stinging sensation. That was bringing back memories of how my step mom would beat me when I failed to do the chores. There was another sting on my collar bone. I was just losing myself and before I knew it I passed out.

Aryan’s POV

I was going crazy, this girl! How could she think she’d escape me? After all the pain that I took to protect her, can’t just agree this once? I was out of my mind. I just know that I needed her. I pulled her closer to me and my inner Beast was set free. I must say she gets me annoyed but she’s the only one who can tame me.

As I started to kiss her neck and collar bone. I could feel like her protests were subsiding with every kiss until, I could feel no resistance. Has she finally accepted me? As I raised my head I found her pale and limp body unconscious. To my horror, I realised what I had done! She passed out! I called in a doctor. She gets me worried all the time!

After some time I saw her laying on the bed, sleeping like a doll. I held her hand in mine.

" you have no right to be so beautiful while you sleep, making me all worried”,

I, for the first time, had this strange feeling of loss. I never felt what it feels like to lose someone but, some how, every time I see her I’m at peace. Its like I just don’t want to lose her. This is crazy! I’ve never felt like this before.

I was kissing her hand when suddenly I could feel it wiggling in my grip. As I looked on, I saw she was awake, her eyes were teary but she wouldn’t show pain.

" Meera? Are you alright? The doctor said you had a panic attack. I’m so sorry Meera, I just.. “,

Before I could finish she spoke in a low tone which was audible.

" I’ll marry you “,

What? She must be half awake, she just doesn’t know what she means.

" Meera, it’s okay, you need to rest”,

She jerked her away from me

" I’m ready to sign the papers”,

Why does she have to be so stubborn all the time? I know I was going crazy about her, but right now only her well being is what that matters.

In the end she didn’t listen to me and signed the papers which had now legally tied us in the bond of marriage. I could see only anger and hate in her eyes and yet she signed them.

" we maybe wife and husband from this moment on but, trust me I’ll turn your life into living hell”,

She sounds so cute when she pretends to be tough. I could only smile at her words.

" I’ve known hell for a long time sweet heart, with you in my life, I can only look forward to see what heaven awaits us”,

I winked at her and walked out of the room. Now that she’s my wife, I can make sure there won’t be a problem to her life. As I walked into my cabin, I got a call from Tahir

“Sir, there is a problem, I guess you’ll have to come here”,

" I was planning to give a visit there anyway. I’ll be there by tomorrow “,

I cut the call and walked towards my room to see her to my heart’s content before the dawn. She was sleeping peacefully. Her fingers were holding on to the blanket, I slowly held her hand and placed a kiss on it before slipping a diamond ring on her finger. This will mark our marriage.

" I know this is not the order of how things should happen. I kissed you first then confessed and forced this marriage without your concern but, this was all to protect you. I promise you Meera, I’ll never let go”,

I walked out of the room while she was still sleeping. It’s going to be a long day without you sweetie, I sighed and started towards the airport.
