A Forbidden Desire.

Twenty One

✨Myra✨

After my fight with Jordan, I just run, not knowing where I was going. I was glad I had carried my phone with me and I was not thinking of going back to the house. I did not even think about calling Damian when I removed my phone, I just followed the map that was on my screen.
The map showed that it was a Fifteen minutes drive and I was glad I could just take a taxi and in no time I'll be there.

I stopped many taxis but they said that they were not allowed to go that way, because it was a private area. I had no other way, so I just walked, hoping that I would not pass out before I arrived there. The rain was pouring lightly and I pushed myself to walk, it was a Thirty minutes walk, and I just had to reach there. There was nowhere I could go at that time.   Damian was my only hope.

I reached the cottage, worn out and out of energy. I was weak from the cold and the injury on my head. I knocked on the door as hard as I could, and again but my fists landed weakly on the door.
I wished he would open the door quickly. I was about to pass out when the door opened, and Damian was there pointing a gun at me, with no energy left, my eyes just closed.

When I woke up he had changed me into warm clothes and had treated my wound. I told him about everything that had taken place. I did not ask him about the gun, I had had just enough for the day and I wanted to forget it all.

I did not picture that Jordan would react that way, I did understand he felt betrayed but I just had to put myself first. It was selfish and it earned me an injury but on the positive part, I was able to find safety within a person.

Morning came and I called Suzanne telling her to cancel my scheduled appointments for the day, and that I would be out for some time. I needed to rest and I needed to be in the right state when meeting with my clients.

Jordan had called me many times, but I did not answer his calls or messages. Honestly, I was not thinking of going back to him, he showed me a side that I did not know existed. I lay on the chair, closing my eyes. The pain in my head had reduced but it was still there.

"What are you thinking about my love," Damian asked. My love, I thought. I would never regret being called his love.
"Things," I said looking at him.
"What things?" He asked, coming around to sit with me. I looked at him, debating if I should just ask him about it.
"The gun yesterday," I said, still looking at him but he avoided eye contact. He stood up from where he was sitting.
"That, it's just for protection. I am a businessman, so.." He trailed off.
"Okay, but I do not see you with bodyguards, never," I said.
"Well, they are there, but I do not need them right now." He said putting his hands inside of his pants pocket.
"What is it that you are not telling me, Damian?" I asked. He shook his head and gave me a tight smile.
"It's nothing, but can we drop it for now? I'll tell you later." He said and I nodded.
"Damian, you know I still need to discontinue our sessions, it would be ethical of me since I have already broken the ethical conduct."
"It's okay, I don't want to continue with the sessions if you are not going to be my therapist." He said, winking and I let out a laugh.

We spend one part of the day just cuddling on the couch, watching a movie, and also my favorite part was his cooking. I knew how to cook but Damian made me Italian dishes and they were delicious.
The other part, we decided to go outside and he showed me around the cottage, it was beautiful. I had come here during the night and the day I was here, I did not see just how beautiful the whole place was.
We visited his parent's grave. They had been buried in their favorite place. He said. We placed some freshly cut flowers from the garden on their grave, and I stood there silently while Damian talked to them. I couldn't get what he was saying since he was speaking in his language.

After that, we walked around until we arrived at a stream that was flowing with water,
we removed our shoes and just played with the water after taking almost all the time to convince Damian to do that with me. We laughed and I collected some pebbles, to just remind me of the good times we just had. It was wholesome. We walked back to the house and we found two men waiting for us or rather him.

Spending my day with Myra was just what I needed for ages. I would have never pictured myself throwing water and just playing like I were a kid. It was therapeutic. I did not want to do it, but she forced me and it was enjoyable.

When we got back from our walk, I found Enzo and Andrea waiting for me. I had told them to just come here when there was something major or important that needed attention and seeing them here, well.

"Enzo, Andrea, this is Myra, and Myra meet my friends," I said.
"Hello, Myra," Andrea said taking her hand and kissing it lightly. "Nice to finally meet you." He said.
"I... I..am honored." She said.
"I am Enzo, it's nice to meet you, Myra," Enzo said also copying Andrea. I rolled my eyes. I did not know the reason they had come all the way, but I was hoping that they did what I had told them to do the other day.

We walked into the house and they both engaged themselves with Myra, all I could hear was her hearty laughter. We made ourselves lunch and drank. Myra said she will take care of the utensils and we excused ourselves, I told her, we will just be discussing business and we will be at it for a while, and if she needed anything she can get me. We walked to my office.
"What is it?" I asked as soon as Enzo locked the door behind him. Andrea placed a file on the table.
"This also involves Myra," Andrea said.
