THE INTIMIDATING & HIS IMPECCABLE - Billionaire Love

Chapter - 33

Raymond POV:

"

The past two days have been roller coaster ride for me. All I wanted to do was to make sure she doesn't slip into depression and for that the best way is to bring her to work. I never thought she would decide to not work anymore, and then I did what I never wanted to with her – threaten with the contract she signed willingly. I knew she would be angry on me, may be hate me too, but I was sure that once she goes to office and speaks to people she might at least stay away from grief. I already knew I was going to make her go to office with or without her will, so I gave all instructions to Paula in case if she is not ready to listen to me. Eventually as she was angry I had to inform her that Paula will give her instructions. I left for office in not so good mood.

Soon after reaching office I called Henry and spoke to him to make sure Tiara doesn't feel uncomfortable. The whole day all I did was to worry about her. Raymond Daniel Samson who never worried for anything has started worrying for someone whom he had met few months ago and that too to a level where his concentration on work at this moment zero. My every minute of work is precious, that's what the media writes every time they had to publish article about me "the invisible CEO". I earn profit or money every minute according to them, but today I wasted many minutes. Was I going to get bankrupt? A small smile appeared on my lips. It didn't really matter if I go bankrupt, all that matters for now is Tiara to be safe, happy and fine.

I waited to see if Tiara would want to talk me, I knew she had to contact me through Henry so every now and then I checked my mobile, but I didn't hear it from her. I thought of meeting her during the lunch but I received a call from one of the client whose chain of bakeries I was trying to acquire. It is a lesser known brand but it is spread in almost all countries in Europe. Off late they were running out of business and Profits but still I want to acquire. This field of owning bakeries or food chains has not yet been much explored by me, and I felt this as a good idea for many important reasons, Keyword : important.

As soon as my day ended the first thing I did was calling up Paula to know the whereabouts of my sunshine. When Paula said she was home I took a relaxing breath. Further Paula's words brought a content on my lips as she said Tiara was looking happy. I soon wanted to rush home and ask her how her day was and that's what I exactly did. I anticipated she would be waiting for me but she didn't, she already slept.

When I was going to my room I saw Sophie and asked whether Tiara had her dinner, she informed me that Tiara seemed very happy and spoke to her for a long time, had her dinner and slept as she was tired. I asked her to go to her quarters and she left. After having my dinner, I went to her room to check on her. Once I stepped in and was walking to the other side of the bed as i do regularly, I hit something hard, brightening the night lamp a bit, I saw how messy her room was. Her suitcases and clothes scattered. Rubbing my temples I decided to first set her clothes in walk in closet. It took me almost an hour to set her clothes. Well I was happy because I could actually see some of her clothes that I could have probably seen only when we are being intimate and I rip them off to make love to her. I sat next to her and rubbed her hair, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead I looked at her. God she was so beautiful, she looked so cute and relaxed while in sleep, her plump rosy lips a bit apart as if inviting me to kiss and taste them. Her thick long voluminous hair spread along the length of the pillow and beyond, which I wanted to gently hold and caress, her eyes which held a bit of circles under, made my heart flinch a little. How I wish I would want them to vanish. Bringing my eyes down her face, I saw her neck which was looking a conch shell at that moment. I dearly wanted to make a mark at the south of the neck letting her know she is mine. When my eyes trailed down and fell on her chest, she tried to make movements in sleep, I became conscious and stood up. I didn't want to disturb her sleep, and I knew if I stay for a longer while, I might do something which I would regret later. Closing the door behind I went to have a cold shower to control my raising hormones.

The next morning I again slipped into her room before she woke up and placed a note that her clothes were set into closet by me. I didn't want her to get tensed for not having her clothes in suitcase. I wanted to have breakfast with her, so left to the study to work from home for some time. When I realised it's been lot of time I cursed myself for getting so involved in work. While stepping out I found a paper and as I read it I understood she was annoyed. Does she want me to realise that she is my wife? I already knew, agree and accept. I immediately called her on her mobile to talk to her but she didn't pick her call. Sophie knocked the door of my study just then and handed over Tiara's mobile to me stating she forgot to pick her mobile. I was surprised and then I understood she did it deliberately, so that I cannot contact her directly. I immediately sent a text to Henry to inform Tiara that I would want to meet her for lunch and asked him to bring her to my cabin during lunch hour.

I immediately dialled Mike to make arrangements for lunch in Green Park Lounge with some of the best dishes. I knew Mike was on his feet immediately. While Kane was driving me to office I got a call from Henry that Tiara has denied to see me at lunch and that's because she is going to have her lunch with her team. I was disappointed. I knew we had to talk and sort out any sort of misunderstanding before it becomes a much bigger issue.

That's when the idea of having a meeting popped up. I decided that I would make Tiara work along with me in this project of acquiring the chain of bakeries. If I ask only Tiara to meet there would be lot of speculations and complexities and I for sure know she would deny the meeting. So I had to call up meeting with entire team. I knew I have things under my control. As decided the meeting was attended by all Four of them along with Henry. As soon as I stepped in our eyes met, I deliberately went to take a chair next to her. While I was pulling chair to sit, my hand rubbed her arms and I could sense she shivered a bit. As the presentation proceeded I kept my complete attention on it and then stepped forward to answer any questions all four had. Max, Rachel and Dave had put their questions, I wished Tiara also would ask and I would say the rest to leave meanwhile I answer her question, but Tiara was way too smart and she kept quiet. She was defeating me in my every attempt, so I played my final card of asking her to wait to have a word with me. Being in the position of a boss always helped me and it came handy today too. I never had anyone to talk anything personal, this was the first time so I made sure there was absolutely no one in the floor.

She started with questioning me and I wanted her to take out her frustration, so I kept silent but she was adamant on leaving from there. That irked me and I said her that she was enjoying me getting pi**ed off, to which she retorted that I put her down. I had to handle the whole thing in a more calm way, so I did ask her for lunch which she might not have anticipated or probably would have thought me as a fool too. I didn't care. At this point I can bear anything except her being aloof. When she denied again, I had to remind her, her own words of giving a chance to this marriage our marriage but in a more understanding way and also to know what wrong happened. In that moment I held her hands and I could sense she was lost somewhere, her face more calm and relaxed.

I was happy thinking I had certain effect on her. Not just happy, I was elated. We finally reached Green park lounge and the conversations on car were more relaxing. I thought she was getting back to normal but I was wrong. As soon as I replied her question about talking to Henry about our lunch, her face became red with anger. She burst on me, she spoke everything that hurt her and her tears ran smudging her mascara and staining her face. My heart felt a sharp pain when I saw her crying and the reason is I. Damn! I would want to slap myself for making her cry and hurt her. I had to explain her that my intentions weren't wrong and so did I. For the first time in my life I APLOGISED and I didn't feel bad about it. I am glad she understood my point and was even glad that we spoke. I knew everything was sorted.

All I wanted was to kiss her senseless and warn her not to cry anytime again, but I controlled myself and placed a forehead kiss. She didn't walk or push me away, she let me do it and I couldn't explain how happy I felt. Later while having her lunch when she was letting out moans enjoying the delicacies, I was getting hard. Damn! I have to keep control. I wanted to hold her hand while walking towards parking, but my body and thoughts were not sane at that moment. So I pushed such thoughts back of my mind. However when the time came for her to go back to her work, I reminded her going dangerously near her saying she was welcome to meet me any time in my cabin and needed no permission. I could see her blush and the final statement she made that she would be waiting for me in our home made my heart burst with happiness. Key word is "our home''.

We definitely were progressing.
