A Day

The door kept pounding repeatedly, and a voice which I had always feared as a nightmare and a dilemma to my soul sounded.

“Open up, Laura. Why are you getting me so stressed on this? I just want to have my knife stroll on the layer of your skin, gently and slowly, I promise you, it won't hurt that much.”

The fright at which that voice imposed into me was like a dagger piercing through my heart, a chill of terrors short my spin as I could feel my legs go numb. My hands trembling, heart raising.

This voice was no other than my husband, Caspian. He hated me—he hated me more than anything in this life and had sworn with his life to torture me till I succumbed to pain itself. His intentions weren’t clear on what he wanted to do with me, but I think his aim was to kill me—and in a painful way. And this was all my fault, because I chose not to sign the divorce paper he had offered to me, I couldn't because I love him alot.

I was a married woman, and I worked in the Clinton Company as one of the accountants. The CEO of the Clinton Company mostly came once in a while, always busy. But what people regularly said about him was that he was the worst person anyone would ever choose to see, talk to, or spend time with. I was curious about all they were saying because I had never seen him, nor conversed with him, even for once.

Everything changed when I went clubbing with my best friend, Jessica. It wasn't intentional, but what I didn't know was that this was where my nightmare would begin. I had a one-night stand with a stranger out of the influence of alcohol, and when I realized who it was, I was speechless. It was no other person than Orion, the CEO of the company I worked for, whom people referred to as one of the most ruthless, worst, and inhuman beings in the whole existence of life.

After the one-night stand with him, he had been obsessed about me and wanted me to be with him by all means. He had sworn to do anything in order to get me, even if it meant tearing the world apart.

This was just the tip of the iceberg because the torture was just beginning. He even offered my husband ten billion dollars only if I divorced him willingly, he promised to give me all the riches I had ever wanted but I refused. My husband hated me for that. This was where my husband Caspian, turns into something I refer to as a demon in human form making me experience hell on earth, a nightmare I couldn't run from, neither hide from, and this was all because of a billionaire who wants to fuck me by all means.

Laura's Pov

Leaving happily with my newly wedded husband, his hands wrapped around my waist, I inhale deep into the cold, sharp breeze that brushes onto my nose, his breath-taken velvet voice sounding in my ears as I grasp his hands softly following with a sweet fragrance of roses, coming from his sweat.

"I love you, Laura. You are the best wife a man could ever want," Caspian's warm, deep tranquil voice sounded in my ear, his mouth just an inch away. He breathed softly onto those ears, his tongue going round over it, and I could feel myself going numb.

"You know I have a job to do, Caspian. I'm already late, I need to get ready for work," I responded softly, standing up from the bed. As I stood, my hair swung over to my face and covered my eyes. I couldn't see. I had to wiggle before I was able to see.

Caspian crossed his leg relaxing on the bed, staring at me with hungry eyes as he said, "You have to create some time for your husband. I need you more than that stupid job of yours," Caspian spat, narrowing his eyes with a deep sigh.

"If I don't work, how can we pay the rent and also feed ourselves? Remember that you don't work anymore, and you are not ready to get yourself any job," I replied with a grin.

Caspian currently doesn't work because his last job was a mess. That was what he said, according to him. Well, he didn’t clarify what happened that led to him being dismissed, and I didn’t bother to ask because I was trying to avoid any argument that could lead to another thing.

Caspian is a sweet man, one of the best wishes God has granted me. He cooks and mostly takes me out, even though it's with my card he uses to pay for the bill, but I don't mind because I love him. Him remaining the sweet man is what I had always wanted.

I went to the bathroom and got a shower, after that I put on my dress getting ready to headout. I picked up my ID card and dipped it into my bag. I held my car key in my hands, then walked to the door. I turned to look at Caspian so I could say something sweet before heading out, but he was already staring at me with his charming eyes. His stare alone made me want to rush and suck those lips of his, but I couldn't. If I kept missing work, I might get fired. I had received multiple warnings from my boss, and if I missed this last time, I would definitely be dismissed for real.

"I know you want it. Come over here, I want to suck you open," Caspian said, licking his lips, his tongue touching his nose, his fingers gesturing for me to come over.

"Forget about it, Caspian. We can have the whole night to spend together when am back, and we can do whatever we want. Goodbye," I replied smiling, which made Caspian huff with narrowed eyes as he looked away before I walked out and closed the door.

I got in my car, and within a few minutes, I was now in the Clinton company where I worked, located in the heart of the city of Chicago—the best place anyone would loves to work in. I got into the floor, then ascended on the elevator to my office.

Getting inside my office, I dropped my bag on the table, then sat on my soft chair. Looking at the paperwork I had to work on, I inhaled deeply, then exhaled with a sigh.

"This will be hell of a stress" I muttered, my voice low as I humped.

I began working on the papers, my laptop at my right hand side while I input some digits into it. While working, my door swung open, and looking at the person standing in front of it, I narrowed my eyes with a gasp.

“She’s here to distract me again.”

It was because of her gist I was not able to finish up the paperwork yesterday, and now am left with a bunch of it to finish up today.

"Jessica, it's you again. Don’t bring that sweet and irresistible gist of yours again please. It was because of it I am still stuck with this paperwork," I spoke in a wistful tone, looking at Jessica standing, her hands folded against her chest as she let out a taunting smile. Seeing that smile, I knew it was another episode of gist she had for me, which I can't push my ears nor focus away from it.

"So what do you have this time?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "Get inside. You can't keep standing there staring at me like a clown," I added, with a jock as I smirked.

Jessica chuckled, then came close and sat on the chair opposite me. "It’s nice seeing you this morning, and I'm here to tell you something very important," Jessica said, desperately, grinning.

"So what exactly do you want to tell me, that's so important as you say?" I asked, raising one of my brows, my cheek relaxing on my hands as I got curious to listen.

"Okay, this is it," Jessica paused, adjusting herself on the chair, her hands on the desk as she stared deep into me.

"Remember I told you something about the CEO, right? And how mean and ruthless he was, but still one of the cutest guys I had ever seen? Well, there’s good news for you about him. And that good news is that he's coming today to sign some documents. Using this opportunity you can see him since your curiosity couldn't let you rest. Well I got the information from Rowan, if you are having doubt on what I had said," Jessica added, exhaling with a smile, while picking at her nails.

Well, to be sincere, since the day Jessica showed me Orion picture on her phone, I had always wanted to meet him in person. He’s so cute. His brown blunt hair, blue ocean eyes made me very anxious. At least I want to see who people fear the most and talk bad about. With such cuteness, I doubt what everyone says about his personality was true.
