"Zeph, don't take my calmness as my weakness. I loved you; that's why I am here but if you think you can just reject me, I will show you what I am," she warmed me, which made my blood boil.
That's it. I lost my temper, gripped her neck tightly and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you warn me and what do you think of yourself? Till now, I stopped myself just because you are a girl and I don't like to lay my hands on girls. I have warned your father a lot of times yet he is not ever stopping his trails. Let me warn you again. If you try to irritate me again, I will make sure to remove your presence from this planet." I warned her but didn't loosen the grip on her neck. She started pulling my hand away from her two hands, yet in front of my strength, she is nothing, and I can see her face turning red due to the lack of oxygen, and the blood flow stopped for sure.
She looked at me with her scared eyes and seeing her like that, I felt she got her lesson today and immediately left her, which caused her to fall to the ground. She held her neck, coughing vigorously, which earned an evil laugh from me.
"Do you think it's easy to warn Zephyr Magnus? Do you think people get scared of me for no reason? It's just five minutes more and you will be dead. Don't ever dare to cross my paths or to warn me or else there won't be a second option and you won't see another day of sunset or sunrise. Keep yourself within limits if you want to live long," I warned her and then went back to my place.
She looked at me, still coughing, and nearly after ten minutes of time, she got control over herself. Standing up with the support of the wall, she looked at me and was about to say something: "I have already given you enough warning. Now just get out." I said this without lifting my head from my files.
"You will regret this, Zephyr. I wanted to be good, but you ruined it by yourself. Now be prepared to face me," she said, turning around to walk out.
Even before she kept her leg outside, she again said, "I know you are a devil completely but there is a reason I loved you. Don't ever think that every time will be yours and you can do anything in this world. There are sometimes things that won't be in your hands and you have to face them. I am one of them, even if you tried to kill me. I am happy because you tortured me for this purpose, which made my skin tingle and my heart race. All the best for our next meeting, darling. Do remember, YOU ARE MINE, and YOU ARE MY HUSBAND."
After saying her last words, she walked out of the room with a smirk on her lips, which made me feel disgusted towards her more. She isn't the one I want to marry. I know every step and every fling. With a sigh, I concentrated on my work.
As I said, exactly after ten minutes, my employee who did the project was there, along with my assistant.
"Good." Even before he could complete his wish with a touch of sweet words, I threw a file on the table and looked at him coldly. He looked at me and the file again, not understanding what was exactly happening there.
"You're the one who is handling this project?" I asked him, trying to keep my tone neutral. I know he is already scared of me and for now, I don't want to waste my energy.
"Yes, sir," he answered, wiping his sweater beads from his forehead.
"Did you check it thoroughly before sending it to me?" I question him again.
"Yes, sir, I have checked it totally three times before forwarding it to you, he answered.
"Accha, then open the file and check whether everything is correct or not," I said, pushing the file towards him.
"What happened, sir? Did something happen?" He asked me while taking it into his hands. I leaned back in my chair and started rubbing left and right with my legs crossed and a pen in between my hands. I kept my whole concentration on him and his expressions. Somehow I felt like something happened after looking at his expressions. He was looking at the file with confusion and shock in his face.
"What was wrong? What happened? Why are you looking so confused?" I asked him.
"Sir, this isn't the work we submitted to you. It's a totally wrong project but I don't know how it happened," he replied, which took me and my assistant by surprise. But I am not the one who lets someone slip so easily so I questioned, "Why should we trust you? Who knows, you are just trying to escape from the wrath."
"Sir, I know your anger and I am not lying to you. If you give me permission, let me get the pen drive, which I always use for company purposes," he requested.
"Why is there a pen drive with you?" I looked coldly at him.
"Sir, I never take it home or anywhere out of my cabin. I just want to keep everything safe and in case anything is deleted, it would help us, and for the safety, I use it," he answered. I decided to keep a check on him but for now I want him to prove it to me so I nodded my head.
He turned around and walked out of the room. I signaled for my assistant to follow him and then he went silently. After ten minutes, my assistant came back to the room and I looked at him with my scrunched eyebrows, to which he nodded his head. Behind him, my employee came forward and then gave the pen drive to me.
"Please check the file, sir," he said and I glanced at my assistant. He nodded his head and connected the pen drive to my laptop, opening the file, which was named with the name of the current project.
