Lonely Bride

“Here,” he says, and he forwards the file to me. With a shaky hand, I open the file, and a sudden fear rushes into my body.

“Bella, I have ordered a few new books for you. How about you go with Alvera and ask her to read you some stories about it?” I heard Sean’s voice, but my attention was on reading the file.

“Once I was done reading a small paragraph, I looked up at Sean, and he had a cunning smirk on his face. I wish I could snatch that smirk and break some bone from his face right now, but I feel helpless.

The maid came to clean the empty plate, but our staring competition was on.

“Everyone OUT” He said this, still looking at me.

Leaving the work as the maid went out, but that girl was still sitting there as if this order wasn’t for her.

“Do you need a special order?” Sean barked when he noticed her sitting as she was.

“Amm No.. o” Saying she sprints out in no time like a scary cat.

Getting up from his seat, Sean came to me and bent down to my level.

“Let’s go, darling. We have two long days.” He husks sensually, and I shivered at his touch when he licked my earlobe.

My body hair rose, and just as he was noticing each action of my body, he touched my rose hair on my arm and said, “Look, each part of your body is craving my touch.” I felt disgusted for the first time in my life.

“You can’t do this to me.” I looked up and said it helplessly, and tears had already started dropping from my eyes.

“Oh, my not-so-innocent sugar . I can and I will.” He said this while nuzzling my hair.

I look up and bite my lip again to control my sobs, but I want to cry. I so want to cry because of my helplessness.

His hands were creasing my arms sensually.

I just hate his touch. My brain denied his touch.

I looked into his eyes, and they were laced with mine. His finger touched my forehead, traced down to my cheekbone, to my jaw, to my neck, and stopped at the center of my cleavage.

“How long are you going to use my weaknesses?” I asked while tears wet my cheeks.

“As long as I benefit from it” He smirked, and his smirk dripped with arrogance.

A sudden vexation rushed into me, and I spoke, throwing my spoon, which I was holding in my hand, and got up after pushing him back, saying “Do whatever you want to. I don’t care.” I started walking toward the room.

“But give it a thought. Where will you, little Pam, go? Just for your information, your dear Natalia is also not in town.

Oh, and the social security people. How can I forget them? Well, yeah, stay assured that the government will take care of her as a child. Social security people will take her and later may send her to some orphanage.”

As if the world has stopped and someone has snatched the land from my feet and turned my body. I locked him up. He was still standing at his place, and his back was facing me.

He turned around, tilted his head to the side, and enjoyed his moment while his tongue played inside his cheek.

I was shocked at the core of the thought. How can a person be so cruel? How can a person be all set to play with a child’s life? And how he breaks other people just to force them to do as they please.

“Don’t forget he is watching your every action.” I pointed my finger up to the sky and warned him.

After Bella, I have had a strong faith in God, and I know he will protect me. I know he will punish people who are doing wrong to me. I just have to be patient.

“I know he is, and he will. You can find me at my study if you change your decision by any chance, Sugar.” He started walking towards me, brushing his body with mine intentionally, and he left the room.

I looked up, took a few breaths to control my emotions, and put my hand on my throbbing heart.

I walk back to the table, pick up the file, and read the content again.

This file contains the details of how Parminder and Priti crossed the border illegally and entered the country.

It has some more details, and he forges with many people and amounts shown in millions.

I know this is all fake and made up. He has framed Parminder and Priti in this.

But I know their entire life will pass just to prove themselves innocent, and if they do, then we can’t forget they have come illegally here. So either way, prison will be a surety.

Sean has played so well. He knows I won’t let them suffer like this. I won’t let little Pam’s childhood be spoiled like this. Especially when I can save her.

‘But again, am I ready to submit myself to him?’ I shudder at this thought.

‘NO NO NO’ My mind, soul, and body were denied.

Getting up from my chair, I started walking back and forth, and I was feeling extremely uneasy.

‘I need to do something; I need to do something,’ I chanted in my mind and again walked back and forth in the room.

‘Nathan, and this name came to mind. This time, I don’t want to make the same mistake I did last time.

I instantly picked up my new phone and searched for Nathan’s number, but I found none. But then it struck. It’s my new phone, so I don’t have my contact information, but thankfully I am way too good with numbers, so I constantly tapped my fingers on the keyboard and called him.

His phone was constantly ringing. I called once, twice, and three times, and at the end, I forgot the count, but he did not pick up.

With each call, my hope was dying, my heart was dropping, and tears were making their way down.

When he did not pick up, I put down the phone, feeling helpless, but then an idea struck, so next I made a call to Parminder . First his phone was ringing, and when I called again, someone picked it up.

“Who is there?” I asked when I noticed it was not Parminder’s voice.

“This is Officer Silvester . We have arrested the person who owns this phone for a forgery case.” He spoke, and I shivered to hear this.

That means whatever Sean was saying was true.

“He has done nothing, officer,” I said, and again a pool of tears came out.

Mam, I would advise you to send his lawyer, as I can help with anything.” He hung up, and I clutched my phone even more tightly.

I have lawyers-not one, but plenty. But again, I don’t know any. It’s been a long time since I left my company, and Nathan is the only one who is taking care of all this.

As I always wanted to stay hidden, I never interacted with anyone or took any interest in those matters.

And if I want to call anyone at the office, I don’t have anyone’s number with me. I checked the phone to restore my data, but I noticed this phone has no Play Store or internet.

I look at the phone again, and it looks quite similar to an iPhone, but it’s not.

I again checked everything on the phone but found nothing apart from the call and text message folders.

I mean, how is it possible?

I again checked the phone and noticed there wasn’t even a folder setting.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I mean, I wonder which phone has a settings folder?

And then I stopped my struggle to get any help.

‘Plan this all; this is Sean’s plan. He has taken my phone and given me this stupid garbage box.’

I so wanted to throw this away, but I know Nathan will surely call on this now when he sees so many missed calls, so I kept the phone on the table and pulled my hair.

I again pick up the phone and look closely, and then I notice the phone is customized.

And I am sure it is especially for me.

My thoughts again went to little Pam. Her innocent face, smile, and giggle
