Xaden's hands then went to her hair and he started stroking it softly, though he was yet to say those vows ' for better for worse ' he'll still abide by it not for anyone but for the sake of his immense love for her.
He sat there for a while before he stood up and got dressed,upon dressing up,he picked up his laptop,numerous files and a pen before he quietly exited the room after placing a kiss on his beloved's forehead,he certainly wouldn't want to disturb her sleep while working.
Upon arriving downstairs,he looked at the dinning and then the path that led to his study, he didn't feel like going to the study hence he just decided to use the dinning.
Reaching the table,he placed his stuff on it and after taking his seat,he immediately commenced work.
30 minutes had barely passed by when a restless Daniella emerged from her room in her night wear, a crooked smile appeared on her face as she watched Xaden's intense concentration while he worked. ' Now was there any creature on earth who could compete with this guy when it came to looks? '. she thought, but then the only thing that irked her as hell was the fact that he had decided to dedicate himself to one woman alone and that too to a mad one as for over a year,he had not even taken up any woman for entertainment or pleasure purposes since currently,his wife couldn't satisfy his needs.
' How could a man like him even stay without sex for a year, couldn't he at least just have some fun once in a while? It's not like there was gonna be any bond or emotional attachment formed in the process and also Mira wasn't even gonna know and even if she did, there was nothing she could do
Well,only time would tell how much longer he would be able hold on without succumbing to sexual desires.
With eyes possessively locked on him,she strolled down the stairs and walked towards him and as soon as she was close,she put up an innocent smile.
"Hey Xaden" she called out
Xaden's eyes left his laptop for a split second to glance at her before his eyes returned back to it. " Heyyyyyy, thought you were asleep"
" Yeah,I was feeling sleepy a while ago but the moment I had a bath, sleep left me " she chuckled
" Mmmm"
"Mind if I help you with some of these " she offered referring to his work after seconds of akward silence.
"Mmm,sure, you could start up with helping me proof read this contracts before I sign them" he replied taking up some files in his hand.
" Okay " Daniella gladly adhered as she quickly took up the files and began to read,most of the time looking up at the handsome Xaden. So many of her friends in the west were extremely envious of her just because she knew Xaden, imagine if she was his...
It was few minutes past midnight yet Xaden wasn't even halfway with his work despite Daniella assisting him, Daniella's face on the other hand was a mask of displeasure as Xaden hadn't even spared her a glance since she started working,it was though she wasn't even there.
As she stared at his handsome face,the only thing she wanted to do was to pin him down and force him to have sex with her right there,that had been all she had wanted to do from the very first day they met,to become his and his alone but unfortunately that classless thing Mira had come in-between them,if not,she was sure Xaden would have fallen for her by now.
Xaden finished the first batch of files and he reached out for a single file under the laptop and placed it on the table,he was just about to start working on it when suddenly everywhere stilled and he paused creasing his brows,it was as though he had forgotten what to do and was trying to remember.
Just then,in the blink of an eye a glass shattering sound reached his ears and broke his already lost concentration off which was followed by a deafening scream.
The file in Xaden's hand fell off as he looked up in horror with wide eyes. " Mira " he whispered in fear before he jerked up and immediately disappeared from his spot to the stairs shouting " Mira, Mira "
Daniella also stood up with an impatient smile as she swallowed hard unable to contain the excitement,her wait was over for today. In a mile second,she too followed behind Xaden with anticipation to watch a drama unfold.
Shawn had also come out from his room with red sleepy eyes as he had heard the scream,he knew it was Mira and he was terrified as to what made her scream like that,he quickly rushed upstairs towards Xaden's room almost knocking himself down on a stool in his hurry.
Xaden rushed into their room only to meet a horrible sight of Mira screaming, holding her head and throwing stuffs all around the room,her hair was a wild mess and so was their room as in just a few seconds,she had broken the glass jug,torn the pillows bringing out their insides and scattering them all over the floor,the sabotage medicine had taken full hold of her.
The bottle in which Daniella had replaced was a potent concoction of psychotropic drugs designed to unravel the delicate threads of sanity that Mira had worked so hard to weave back together,it was a diabolical weapon that could cause chaos in ones mind and make him or her to see things that weren't there,it was one drug that could tip the scales of sanity and send Mira spiraling back into intense madness thereby revoking the effects of her original drugs in which she had been on for a year.
As she screamed,the feeling in her head was a mixture of excruciating pain and hallucinations of demons around her that left her screaming. " Leave me, leave me " and throwing things at them.
