Falling For My Mysterious Saviour

I WON'T FORGIVE YOU

Mariam’s P.O.V.

“What do you think about the plan?” Dexter asked me and I smiled. “I think, there should be some changes according to the original structure of my house. I have marked some changes in the plan. You can discuss them with the designer”, I told him and he nodded. “I am sure that you already have got a call from Mr Davenport, right?” he asked me in a gentle tone and I huffed. “Yeah… he is not coming back today”, I said in a flat tone but he could clearly sense my disappointment. “You know.. I am very happy for you two”, he said in a calm tone and I looked at him in confusion. He cleared his throat and then took my hand in his hand which I didn’t mind. He always took care of me like a sister or should I say I was like his own daughter. She was only two years older than me but he was a father figure to me.

“You two complete each other in every way. In my time with Mr Davenport, I never saw him smiling until you came. You made him smile again and I was glad that he was there at that time. He not only saved you but he saved himself too”, he said in an honest tone and I smiled widely this time. “I am lucky that I have him, Dexter. I am glad that Valerie and Warrick did that for me and I found the love of my life. I can do anything for him and I know that he also can do anything to make me smile”, I said in a proud tone and he smiled widely this time. He patted my hand and took a deep breath. “Now you two have to take the next step in your lives. You know well what I mean”, he gave me a knowing look and I sighed this time. “Do you think that I don’t want to consummate our marriage?” I looked at him questioningly and he immediately shook his head negatively.

“I know that you want to give him all the happiness of his life. It’s just…. Time is not with you two…. But”, he paused and squeezed my hand a little. “I am sure that soon you will be on your feet. I know you. I have seen you fighting for your life. Your will to stay alive is stronger than anything else in this world”, he tried to boost my spirit with all those encouraging words. “Thanks, Dexter… thanks for entrusting your faith in me”, I said truthfully and he waved his hand in the air. “Ahhhh.. it’s nothing.. I only want to see you two happy and content”, he said with a wide smile on his lips, making me smile again.

He suddenly became serious which made me raise my brows. “What happened?” I asked him in a concerned tone. “I told you that Warrick and Valerie are in the city, right?” he looked at me to confirm and I nodded in response. “Warrick came to the company yesterday and made a fuss there. He is desperate to meet you. Someone is blackmailing him. I don’t know how, but the blackmailer knows about the incident back then. I am not sure but I think… he has some evidence against Warrick”, I chewed my internal cheeks while listening to Dexter. “Who can be that blackmailer?” I asked him in a calm tone. He sighed and shrugged his shoulders. “We are still investigating him but he is so cunning that he doesn’t leave a hint behind him”, he told me and now it was my turn to go cold.

“I think.. it’s time to talk to him and clear everything. I don’t want any other problem in my life and I am sure that he is here to stir trouble for me and Demitry”, I said in a serious tone. Dexter didn’t say a word but took a deep breath. “I am leaving your phone with you. If you got his call, talk to him and handle him in your way. You know that both I and Mr Davenport support your every decision”, he said and I nodded with a small smile. “I guess you will receive a call from him soon”, he said while pursing his lips and I slumped down my shoulder. “I guess I am going to receive a call from Valerie too. Her main motive was to snatch Warrick from me. She succeeded but then they broke up. Now, he is here in my search and this is a big blow to her ego. She will call me soon”, I said while making a wild guess.

“All you need is to keep your mind calm and do not let them get on your nerves. You can’t let them harm you in any way now”, he said in a serious tone and I smiled. “Don’t worry… They can’t affect me anymore. They are no one to me”, I said in a determined tone this time. He nodded and then he closed the files spread on my bed in between us. “I will talk with the designer and will ask him to talk with you”, he said and I said okay to him. To be honest, I was also curious to know why Warrick was so desperate to meet me now. I couldn’t meet him in this condition but he didn’t know and there was no way that I was going to tell him.

After some time, Dexter went back and Layla came inside the room. “You are behind your schedule for today, Mariam”, she complained and I pouted. I and Dexter were so immersed in the work that we forgot that it was already lunchtime. “Let me help you in cleaning”, she said and I smiled again. She was really a sweetheart. She went to the washroom and brought a basin full of water and a face towel. She wet the towel and gave me. I cleaned my face and then she helped me washing my hands. I was in a sitting position for more than two hours and am feeling a little sore now. “Layla”, I called her and she looked at me this time. “Help me getting down. I am feeling a little pain”, I told her truthfully. She immediately removed the basin from the bed and put it down on the nightstand. She got on the bed on her knee and then pulled me a little up cautiously. She was lean but had great strength.

She removed extra pillows from behind and then put me down slowly and gently on the bed. “You were sitting for more than two hours. Of course, you are in pain”, she said in a bit angry tone. She was with me for more than three months and it was obvious that she was now attached to me. “I am sorry… now you have to feed me”, I said in a mischievous tone and she glared at me. I laughed at her facial expression and she smiled a little after a while. She then took the basin and towel from the nightstand and went back to the washroom. I took a deep breath and tried to make myself comfortable as the pain was a bit more than I could bear.

“Layla”, I called her immediately as soon as she came out of the washroom. She ran to me. “What happened?” she asked me in a worried tone. “Give me med”, I immediately replied to her. She didn’t waste a second and immediately opened the drawer on the nightstand. She took out the pain killer and filled a glass of water. “Here”, she gave me the tablet. She sat down near me and then pulled my head a little up from the shoulders. I put the medicine on my tongue and then she made me drink some water. After finishing the glass, she put me down gently. “I will bring your lunch a few minutes later”, she informed me and I closed my eyes.

“Are you feeling better now?” I opened my eyes again after some time when I heard Layla’s concerned voice. I saw her worried face. “I am feeling better now but hungry”, I said while pouting, and she shook her head. She stood up from the bed and said, “I am going to bring your lunch. Stay still and don’t make any big movements. I will ask the guard to come inside for a while”. I nodded in affirmation and then she walked out of the room. I smiled at her for her caring nature. She was actually a good nurse. I came out of my thoughts when the phone beside me started ringing. I picked up the phone and my whole demeanour went cold immediately.

“Speak”, I said in a cold tone after picking up the call. “Thank God, Mariam… you picked up the call”, I scoffed when I heard him taking a breath of relief. “If you have something to say then speak or else I will hang up”, I said in a cold tone again. “Mariam… why are you so cold to me now? I… I want to meet you… please meet me”, he pleaded hard and I now wondered what was his motive now. “I don’t see any reason to meet you, Warrick. I have nothing to speak with you”, I said keeping the same tone. “Please don’t do this… I am sorry… I really am.. That was a grave mistake… please …. Please forgive me”, I huffed in frustration when he again started his forgiveness record. “I won’t forgive you for what you did to me, Warrick… not in this life span… so cute the crap and tell me why did you call me”, I said in a bored but frustrated tone this time.

“Mariam.. don’t be so cruel. You loved me once and I know that you still have feelings for me. Please… for the old-time sake… please meet me”, he pleaded again with the same bullshit again and I rolled my eyes. “I think.. you forgot whom you are talking to right now, Warrick. We were friends for more than seven years and you really hurt my feeling by pleading like this. I thought you know me well but it seemed that I am wrong again. You know nothing. I am not interested in meeting you and for the last time, I am telling you…. Stop calling me or else I will ask my husband to deal with you”, I threatened him this time because I was now really pissed with him.

“Try to understand, Mariam… you can’t live with that man. Your life in danger because of him”, he yelled and pissed me to the extent. “I will be safe with you when it was you who schemed my murder, huh? Mr Warrick Roberts… listen to me and listen to me carefully… it’s none of your business whether my life is in danger or not. My husband is capable enough to keep me safe and never ever call me again”, I threatened him again in an angry tone and before he could say anything else, I cut off the call and immediately put his number in the block list. I had enough of his bullshit. I took a deep breath and tried to calm my heart down.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so hyper?” I heard Layla’s worried tone and looked up. “Uhhh… it’s nothing”, I said while passing a tight smile to him. “Please call Dexter. Tell him that I want to talk with him”, I instructed the guard who was standing inside the room. He nodded and then walked out of the room. Layla came beside the bed with food tray in her hands. She looked at me in confusion and concern but didn’t ask me anything. I was glad that she didn’t ask because I had nothing to tell her. After a while, I got a call from Dexter. “What happened? Are you alright?” he asked me immediately. “I have sent you a voice message. Just check that”, I told him in a cold tone. “Okay… give me five minutes only”, he said and then we both hung up. If Warrick thought that he could still threaten me then he needed to wake up now.
