Kiara still could not register what had happened to this upright gentleman all of a sudden, she saw he was behaving abnormally. so, she stopped the sedan and went near him, he was sweating profusely and clothes were dishevelled. Houlson was on the verge of losing his patience and just as he saw the beautiful woman he desired in front of him, it didn't even give him a second to think, he directly showed his prowess before her. All night she was brutally loved and he left his imprints all along her body.
After an intense intimate battle, Kiara felt exhausted and her whole body was paining like someone had broken her limbs and ripped it apart from her body. She dragged her body away from his clasp but losing her balance again fell on him. Kiara was really scared that he might wake up and start torturing her again but he was sleeping like a dead pig. She looked close over his face, thick eyebrows, tiny stubbles on his face. It was her first time being close with a man and she was happy that although he behaved like a beast, she had waited for this man in her whole life.
Anyways this man had owned her love for decades and now he managed to take her body too. Even laying naked over him, Kiara had immense happiness in her heart. If it was some other man, he would have lost his life just when he dared to pull her but Houlson was not any other man for her. Kiara after confirming that he was still sleeping, kissed him hard on his lips, soon she tasted blood in her mouth as he had bit her hard on her tongue even while he was sleeping.
" Husband, from the next morning onwards, I will make you suffer hard for this torturous night you presented me." Kiara thought about their sweet future and smiled. However, just as she was going to spit out the blood in her mouth, now that her senses were back to its place, she understood what made Houlson behave like this with her.
Kiara started to rewind her memory back to the dining table where Houlson was seen perfectly fine.
Yes, after meddling with that perverted man, Houlson had chugged down a glass of unattended wine. Then while they were departing, Houlson asked her to drive the sedan so it means that a depraved human had drugged that particular glass of wine and his target was her but instead, Houlson accidentally drank the wine and all this happened.
Kiara knew so much about such drugs from her past training and these kinds of drugs make a man delirious while a woman shuts her brain out. She looked up at Houlson and checked his whole body, she sighed in relief only after feeling his normal heartbeats.
The only antidote for such drugs is to have intercourse with the opposite sex and well, if the drug gets acted upon a man, he will have immense pain and might be poisoned if there are residues of the drug inside his body, but judging by his normal body vitals, Kiara could conclude that they had neutralised the drug successfully.
Lugging her tired body, she sat there thinking of a situation if Houlson was with some other woman after having the drug, she didn't know when she drifted away to sleep due to fatigue. While in sleep, she was dreaming about the steamy encounter of Houlson and a woman, just as she was going to see the woman's face, she was jerked up.
The first thing Kiara saw when she opened her eyes was Houlson's anxious face before she could register what was happening, he had slit his arms and fresh blood started to flow, freaking the hell out of her mind.
Forgetting about her exhausted body, she quickly tore up the fabric and bandaged his arms. She wrapped several layers to make sure that it could stop his bleeding. All this time Houlson was kneeling down without raising even his eyes. He was completely broken down both mentally and physically but never in his life, he thought that he would commit such a sin towards a woman. Breaking his father's promise was one thing but forcing a woman out of her will was unpardonable.
"Kiara, I don't have any words with which I can ask your forgiveness. I'm your sinner please let me take the responsibility for you. I promise to cherish you till the day I die. Please, Kiara, give me a chance."
Kiara was heartbroken to see Houslson on the verge of crying, she removed the robe which Houlson had used to cover her naked body. Right now, she was completely free without any piece of clothing on her. She knelt down in front of him and with her hands, she pulled his face up to see each other properly.
With one hand, she showed hand gestures saying, " I had considered you as a trusted ally till now but not anymore. You don't need to take any responsibilities for me because I have a man waiting for me only. I will make sure to confess everything that has happened between us, he can understand."
Houlson clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. " No, I can't let you go like this. Regardless, what your so-called husband thinks, you are my woman from now onwards."
This time Kiara really wanted to hug this stubborn man but she remained calm, again she showed hand signs, " No need for any charity, a relationship without love is the same as wine without taste."
Houlson could not forgive himself and he again tried to persuade Kiara but she was adamant as a rock. She was keen on waiting for her husband and Houlson was losing his patience as time flew.
But he took a deep breath and slowly told his story, his father's story and the promise he made to his father.
"Kiara, you have a husband and I have a wife who I don't know whether she is alive or not. But fate designs something else for us. Please, I will talk with your husband .. please Kiara, give me one chance to prove my true feelings towards you."
Without giving any chance for Kiara to retaliate, Houlson got ready and helped her to get ready as well. What he didn't notice was that the way Kiara was looking at Houlson had completely changed, now her gaze was totally filled with tender love.
Starting the sedan, Houlson drove into the opposite direction of their destination, along the way never once did Kiara ask him where he was taking her. She sat beside him eating the berries which were kept inside the sedan before they had started the journey.
After sometime Kiara could hear the sound of water flowing and at a distance, there was a small cottage. A simple yet beautiful cottage beside the brookside, Houlson after stopping the sedan, straight away carried Kiara inside the cottage.
" For the next few days, we will live here. We will only return when you say yes to my proposal."
Kiara gave him a dull expression but he could not understand it at all, what she meant was simply, " Duh, when did you even propose?"
After settling down, Houlson went out to fetch some firewood and some herbs. He later lit up the fireplace and squashed the herbs to apply over her wounds. Kiara winced at his touch over the bruises but the cooling effect calmed her down soon.
While applying the medications, Kiara didn't feel shy to open up her dress in front of Houlson but his hands were shivering when he applied the mix. He quickly went out of the room, to get a cold shower leaving Kiara stunned.
In the evening, Kiara asked him whether he had notified their friends about the sudden disappearance, Houlson nodded their head but he couldn't tell her that her friends, as well as her sister, had sold her to him. They said, " We are keenly waiting for our nephew and niece".
Houlson couldn't keep silent anymore, his hands still had the feel of the soft porcelain skin which he had touched a while before. He decided to again talk with Kiara.
" Kiara, I know, rushing you through these things might not change your mind, but I want to know who is your true love?"
Without answering Kiara stood up, and sat on the brookside, on the crystal clear brook water she saw her reflections. She smiled at her own reflection and just then Houlson also came into frame, the reflection was of the perfect couple.
" Kiara please, just let me know once."
" Houlson, I am Kiara, the eldest daughter of the Lazarian family, you wanted to know who was my husband right, the man standing in front of you is my husband "
Houlson's brain stopped working just as he learnt that Kiara, was the little girl who was innocently betrothed to him in their childhood.
" Yes, Houlson Demar, the true owner of my love has been always you,...."
