His Despair

Chapter 6

DAVINA'S POV:-

"What!" I whispered, I clearly understood what he was doing right now, but I didn't know why?

"I'm not going to repeat myself, Miss Elis, I want all those financial files on my desk in five minutes," he ordered while placing his left leg up on my desk and placing the right one over it.

His action made my temper rise and I know I can't do anything right now as he is the boss, but that doesn't mean I will be his personal assistant. I tried hard to control my anger and be calm because, in a situation like this, he can use my one wrong move against me.

I took a deep breath while closing my eyes and turning around,

Calm down, Davina...

I walked up to my assistant's office and saw her typing on her computer, she immediately stood up as she saw me walk towards her, "Darcy... I need financial files," I said, she nodded her head, "Please sit Miss. Ellis, I will bring them to you!" she said and walked away.

I sat down on the chair and waited for her to bring those files to me, as I was waiting for her the thoughts of my past ran in my head, how some unknown man came to me to take revenge for something my ex-husband has done to him. I can't believe he didn't allow me to be happy even after we parted our ways, he never left me, always made me suffer and cry after. The pain and heartbreak never left me, every second of my life reminds me of the betrayal and my broken heart.

I just want to ask him why, why has he done this to me, wasn't my love enough for him? wasn't I a good wife? I want to ask him to stop this pain and make me free from the suffering. I hate him and hate myself for foolishly loving him. He broke that part inside me which no one could ever fix, not even me.

I want to live; I have a right to be happy and live my life however I could but his memories were a kind of drug that wouldn't allow me to do that, it always pulls me back to that point where I end up being swallowed whole by those moments which I desperately want to forget.

"Miss. Ellis," I heard Darcy call me which pulled me back to reality, I looked up at her and saw her with files in her hands, I stood up from the chair and walked towards my office which has become Arthur's now.

I knocked on the door before stepping in without waiting for his reply, Darcy followed me in and placed the files on the desk and walked away. I looked at the files and moved my eyes to Arthur, who was staring at me.

"Tell me about the files," he ordered, I looked at his face and noticed the corner of his lips moving upwards.

Deep breaths Davina... Deep breaths...

I understood what he was doing, he was testing my patience and pushing my buttons. He wanted my reaction but I won't do that, I won't let him win. If he wants to play, then I will give him a tough time, He won't win so easily.

I simply stood there and pointed at the first file, "That file was the previous month's financial file, it has all the number of goods, unit cost of each item, and total cost of inventory..." he cut me off, "What? I can't understand which file you're pointing at?" he said. It made me grit my teeth in annoyance.

Is he blind?

"That one over there, Mr. Spencer," I said pointing at the file. He wasn't even looking at the file.

"Which one?" he asked, looking at me, I sighed and moved over to the desk and took the file and placed it in front of him.

He glanced at it and looked at me, "Why don't show me the Reports and explain," He said,

What!

I tried to stay calm, "I would love to explain those reports to you sir, but I have other important works which need my attention meanwhile my Assistant Darcy will explain everything to you," I said and turned back, without waiting for his reply I began walking towards the door. I was about to grab the handle, but I was pulled harshly by my arm and sowed to the wall.

My back hit the wall which made me hiss out of pain. He grabbed my chin roughly making me look up at his face, "Don't ever... Ever ignore what I say," he said through his teeth.

"Who do you think you are? You're just an employee working under me! It won't take a sec for me to kick you out!" he said. Tears rolled in my eyes as the words registered in my mind.

"I can destroy your life in just a snap of my finger, you better do as I say if you don't want to find yourself on the streets," he said while putting more pressure on my chin.

He glared at me and pushed my head back while turning back. My hand hit the wall making my vision blur for a second. It hurt badly; I rubbed the back of my head, trying to ease the pain. "Go get me my black coffee," he said, but his voice was faint like he said it from far away, I shook my head and turned around. I slowly walked out of the office and walked to the washroom. I washed my face and stared at my reflection, I tried to hold my tears and not to cry but I couldn't. I burst into tears and sobbed out.

"I hate you," I cried out,

"I hate you for everything Allen," I cried and cried but there was no relief, this pain wasn't disappearing, the things happened with me won't disappear instead they began playing Infront of my eyes making me cry more.

He got me hanging with these bitter memories and pain, I want to escape from this, I want to hide somewhere, hide from this pain and heartbreak, from this torture. I thought someday I will forget all this and live my life without this pain and heartbreak but I think that would be just a dream.

I wiped my tears and splashed water on my face. I walked out of the washroom and strode downstairs. I ordered the black coffee since I don't know how he likes it. I just went with a guess and took it without sugar.

I walked to the elevator and stepped in, I moved back after pressing the button. I watched the doors closed and waited patiently to reach my floor. After the doors of the elevator opened, I stepped outside and walked straight towards the office. As I knocked on the door and opened it without waiting for his reply, I gasped when I saw what was happening inside my office.
