THE INTIMIDATING & HIS IMPECCABLE - Billionaire Love

Chapter - 23

Raymond POV:

"

Since Tiara came to this house after the dreadful day, I never got a chance to talk to her.

I had to handle that old man Mr.Francis and I did it as I planned. He would not be able to cope up or bounce back until he hits some jackpot, which I am sure is not going to happen in near future. My work was back to track and I am sure it would run as smooth as it used to run earlier.

But as they say when somethings ends a new thing pops up, it is time now to concentrate on my sunshine and bring her back to her original self. For that to be done, I had to spend time with her. That's what I have planned for next few days. I informed Henry to handle the work in the office and in case of anything urgent contact me. I decided to work from home.

I am not a clumsy man until I decide to be clumsy. Today is one such day, I just woke up and after my morning rituals I walked towards the dining area and asked for my coffee which was brought piping hot. I looked towards Tiara's room and it was still closed. I sat and took the files that needed my attention and started reading them until I heard footsteps drawing closer and the fragrance of roses and lilies hitting my nostrils. Raising my eyes I saw her checking me out. I was liking it. Probably this is the first time she was ogling me like that.

Clad in a simple jeans and a white top with  shoes she was looking beautiful. I have seen many woman plastering their faces with make ups and trying to look what they are not and here stood before me my woman, my sunshine who looked naturally ethereal. She was somewhere between 5'7'' and 5'8'', petite waist, fair in complexion, deep black eyes, sculpted eyebrows, turned up nose, small pouty lips and a diamond jawline. Most attractive of all is her voluminous dark black straight hair that reached till her hips. Today she just tied her hair in a high pony style and wore small studded earrings that shone on her ears. Legs slender and Hands delicate. She adorned the ring that I put her on her finger. She had been smiling less or to say she didn't smile last few days and I must say her smile can bring life to cold hearts.

I observed her still checking me out and so I wished her Good morning. When she questioned me as to why I was still in home, I was amused. No one ever asked me so till date. When I said that I will be working from home, she was shocked and I could see the expression she gave me as if I was not a human. The conversation led from one to other and then I teased her that she definitely didn't check the name plate, she just left the dining area to see the name plate. Her curiosity made me chuckle.

''but did I really want her to know who I really was? Yes, I wanted her to know that I was RAYMOND DANIEL SAMSON. The truth which is not known to many. She is my wife, she needs to know everything about me. I wanted this relation to grow stronger and the only way is to be honest with her. This is the first step. ''

I had made this name plate few days before precisely when she asked me if I would marry her. I didn't want to hide anything from her, specifically my identity. Reason: She was already being cheated by Nicholas as his hid his true identity. I didn't want to repeat the same mistake. I may not let the whole world know who I am but I want my wife to know who I am.

She didn't return back till now and I knew what she might be thinking, so here I am walking towards the main door to look at her. She stood still, surprised would be an understatement. I leaned across the main door and looked shamelessly at her. It was as if my looks reached her, she turned to look at me and then she continued staring at me. I couldn't even take of my eyes. Probably the longest time we just looked at each other without having any conversation ever since I met her.

When her stomach growled our long eyelock broke.

''You are''

''Tiara, first have your breakfast, I know you have many things to talk. We will have the conversation '' I said and walked back to the dining table. She followed.

''What will you have for breakfast?''

''I have no choice in particular. Anything edible I am okay''

I ordered pancakes and a simple bread toast with fried eggs for her. It was served and I had my salad as usual.

''You eat salad for breakfast''

I nodded to her question

''really?''

''yes. Anything wrong?''

''no. I thought salads are during lunch or dinner''

''I survive only on salads Tiara. I hardly eat any other food. Not that I haven't tasted, but I don't feel like. ''

Her spoon dropped of her hold

''are you serious?''

''yes off course''

She didn't speak anything may be she felt weird and it's true my eating habits are really weird. I can do anything except cooking. When I was with my foster parents, I used to have good meals but when I started living on my own, it became difficult, so I started eating salads which didn't require any much effort. After that when I could afford cooks, I tried eating like how others eat with lots of varieties served on plate, but somehow I never liked the taste , so I ordered the cooks to make different sort of salads . There are not many guests that visit my house, so most of the times there would be no cook. Ever since Tiara has started living here, I ensured the cook comes regularly and cooks and serves Tiara which I am glad is happening.

We both walked towards the living room and sat on the couch. She was fidgeting her hands.

''Tiara, relax''

''Are you really Raymond Daniel Samson, CEO, FOUNDER OF SAMSON GROUP OF COMPANIES?''

''Yes Tiara. I am the one, not only that I am known as Director Daniel too. ''

She looked at me shocked and her lips just took the names Raymond Daniel Samson, Director Daniel.

''Why did you never say me?''

''you never asked me Tiara''

''But still. I mean now I get it, how you could arrange everything in an hour when I was on bed before my joining SGC. How you could easily take me to the GREEN PARK lounge without any permissions or difficulties. You owned all that right?''

I nodded. Suddenly her expression changed

''You are not kidding right?''

''I never lie Tiara. I may answer only to the point that would suffice but I never lie''

''Raymond, I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. It's just I ..''

''Ssshh...no need to explain. I understand''

''Thank you so much Raymond for whatever you have done till now. I never really got a chance to thank you and I also apologise for being so rude to you when you came to the park to take me to the hospital. I was ....'' Tears formed in her eyes and she was struggling not to let them down.

I moved closer to her to wipe her tears but she moved back and said ''I am okay''

I so wanted to say her that she is not okay. I wanted her to cry as much as she wants and that I am there to comfort her. She doesn't need to act strong when she and I both knew she was falling weak. Weak from the loss of her parents and her sister Sasha, weak because of what Nicholas has done to her.

''Raymond, I have not married you for your riches. I really didn't know you are ''

''I know. You need not explain''

She remained silent. I could understand she was trying to absorb the fact about who I am and definitely there was something she was struggling to put in words. I waited. I waited because I wanted her to let out her thoughts open. After a brief time, she again spoke

''You know, you can anytime give me divorce and lead your life as you want. I promise I will never force you to carry on with this marriage''

Her statement angered me. Was she really thinking of divorce? How can she even say that? Was she really thinking that I don't want to keep this marriage? How can she think so low about me?

I got up and walked towards my room while she sat looking at me confused.
