CEO's Dangerous Obsession

Romance

The day became night; Xander told Madelyn he had something planned, so he bought her new clothes, jewelry, makeup, and perfume. He wanted her to get herself ready for tonight. Madelyn looked at herself in the mirror when she wore one of the dresses he bought her, including makeup and jewelry. She ensured she would not anger Xander, especially after he told her he would not hesitate to kill her if she ever left him. It made her shiver in fear. Xander had truly gone insane with obsession.  She sat in front of the mirror, and thoughts went through her mind.

What if he wanted to kill her?

What if he was going to take her far away?

"No, I can't think that way. I have to think positive if I am to survive. I know Octavio will rescue me. He wouldn't leave me with that monster!" All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Xander entered as he wore a black suit with a white buttoned shirt. The first few buttons were undone. He also wore black slacks and black dressy shoes. His hair was nicely slicked back, and Madelyn could smell his cologne.

The young woman couldn't deny that he looked very handsome. Xander smiled. "You look beautiful as always."

"Th-Thank you. You look...great yourself."

He chuckled. "Thank you for the compliment. Now I have a surprise for you. Put this on." He then handed her a blindfold. 

This made her fearful. "I uh...well.."

"Put it on."

Madelyn slowly got a hold of it and then put it over her eyes. "Good, now I will lead the way, and no peeking. Xander took hold of her arms and led her out of the room. "Watch your step."

She did what she was told and did not fight back. Madelyn knew she could try to escape but wasn't as fast as Xander, and if he caught her, there would be hell to play, so it was better to be safe than sorry. The young woman heard a door open; she felt a cool breeze, and that was when she knew they were outside. "Stop."

Xander then undid the blindfold; Madelyn gasped. They both were by the gardens, and there was a small table with lit candles, plates of food, and glasses of wine. Around the table, there were rose petals. He smiled. "I hope you like it. I wanted to make something romantic for you." He motioned her to take a seat, which she did; he also took a seat. 

She looked at her food; it held salmon with white rice and asparagus, and a piece of lemon was on the side. She got her fork, got a bit of salmon, and took a bite.

"Good. It is fresh and from the best restaurants."

"It-It is good."

The two began to eat silently. Xander would look at Madelyn's quiet form. "So, were you surprised."

"Y-Yes. I-I never thought you would do something so...beautiful and special for me."

Xander chuckled. "I can be a romantic when I want to be. I miss moments like these and want you to be happy. I know I acted like a jerk, but I want things to go back as they used to before you decided to leave me. I know you didn't know any better, but I want us to have a new start." Madelyn held onto her fork tightly. She desperately wanted to yell at him but contained herself. The two made small talk until they finished their dinner. "Well, that was delicious."

"Yes, it was. I appreciate such a wonderful dinner, Xander."

He smiled and got up. Xander then walked to her and motioned out his hand to her. Madelyn got a hold of it. She was led to the middle of the garden, where a small stereo was turned on. Classical music was heard. "May I have this dance?"

Madelyn merely nodded with a fake smile. The two got into positions and began to dance to the music. Xander pulled her closer to him, making their bodies feel each other's warmth.

They danced slowly in the middle of the gardens. Madelyn fought so hard not to flinch. To survive, she would have to make him believe she was beginning to change into the woman he wanted. "It feels so...nice. Thank you for such a wonderful night."

Xander smiled. "I am happy that you liked it. I tried hard."

"I thought things like these...would only happen in movies, but you are filled with romance."

He gave her a twirl. "Things like this can happen if one makes it happen. However, our night isn't over yet. There is something else that I have planned."

The music finished playing; the two looked at one another. "Come on." Xander put a hand over her waist and led her to another small building resembling a regular house. It was a building that she had never seen before. Madelyn didn't know why, but she felt dread in her gut. As they got closer, she noticed rose petals going towards the building.

Xander opened the door, and the interior was filled with many candles. In the center was a round bed with silky red covers and flower petals. They entered, and Xander closed the door behind them. Madelyn's eyes widened as she looked at him, slowly removing his suit. "I wanted to make this night special, and I intend to make it special. I want to make love to you."
