His Despair by S. N. Nina Arthur (most popular ebook readers txt) 📖

“You left us when we needed you the most, for your selfishness, and when we tried to live happily without any problems... you are ruining it too? Why?“ She cried, 

“Ma-Margate! What have I done?” I asked while trying to control myself. 

“What have you done? Seriously? Are you asking me that?” She yelled in anger, 

“I swear I-I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said, desperate to know. 

“Do you know Arthur Spencer?” she asked while trying to control her anger, 

Arthur?

“Yea-yeah!” I replied, and then she laughed hysterically. 

“I knew it, You are behind this… I hate you, Davina, I wish you were dead…” she screamed in anger. 

“Ple-please... tell me what happened Margate,” I cried out,

“Dad’s in hospital and we have no money for his surgery… all because of you…. If you have any little love for dad left in you, then… go convince Arthur and help dad... “ She yelled at me and before I could say something she hung up on me. 

Tears rolled down my eyes as her words ran in my mind, I sobbed, unable to control myself, My own sister hated me all because of my inability to recognize someone's true nature. I wish I could go back and stop myself from doing the mistake of loving him. If I didn’t love and married Allen I wouldn’t have been in this situation. 

I wiped my tears and took a deep breath, I controlled myself and quickly got up from the ground. 

I have to save my dad and the company, I can’t make them suffer for something I did, I will swallow my pride and dignity to save my family from him. 

I quickly did my morning duties and got dressed, Without having my breakfast or even a glass of water I ran out of my house and drove to Arthur’s mansion. 

As I reached his mansion, his bodyguard let me in like they were expecting me to come here. I parked my car in his parking lot and got out of it while closing the door behind. I noticed Coop walking towards me with a blank expression on his face. I swallowed while controlling myself to not cry, I never thought that I would come back to this place where I was humiliated. 

“Miss Elis,” he said while standing in front of me, I didn’t say anything just stood there staring at him. He gestured to me to follow him and I did. 

As we walked inside the living room, it was empty and everything that happened that day began flashing in front of my eyes. My heart began to beat rapidly against my ribcage as we climbed the stairs. 

He pushed a big single door and stepped aside, gesturing me to step in, I stepped in nervously and when I did he closed the door immediately. I turned back and stared at the closed door in confusion. 

I turned around and gasped when I looked at the bedroom, I never in my entire life saw this big bedroom ever. It was a royal bedroom with black and white interior, king-size bed placed in the room and to it’s left had a ceiling window covered with curtains on either side. Beside the window had a sitting area with couches and coffee table, above it had a big chandelier. 

The room was very intimate with the furniture and bed, I gulped hard looking at how big the room was. I jumped when I heard someone closing the door to my right, I placed my hand on my heart while looking at the person walking inside. 

Arthur walked in while closing the door of the bathroom, a white fluffy towel was wrapped around his waist. It was hung so low that his glorious toned muscles and biceps, flat stomach and his v-line was visible from where I was standing. 

I could see the long tattoo he had on the left side of his waist, I couldn’t see what it was but I could see small sentences inked into his skin one after the other reaching from his waist to his underarm and ended up right beside his chest, he also had few butterflies tattooed on his left forearm. 

He was drying his wet hair with a towel while walking towards his nightstand, I gasped and quickly turned around. I placed my hand over my chest trying to control myself and I swallowed hard while breathing hard. 

“Oh! You came?” I heard him say behind, I turned around and saw him staring at me. 

“I didn’t expect you to come this early,” He said while drying his hair, I stood there quietly looking away from him. 

You can do this, Davina! For sake of dad! You have to…  

He threw the towel on the bed and walked towards the sitting area and sat on the sofa, his hair was still wet and made him look attractive. I noticed the way his eyes moved from my face to my body, my breathing quickened when I noticed a smirk forming on the corner of his lips. 

“I-I came here to-to talk,” I stuttered, finding it hard to talk because of his nakedness. 

“Hm...go on!” He said, while looking at me intensely with his blue/green eyes. 

“I know you had a hand in the bankruptcy of My dad’s company!” I said looking straight into his eyes. Anger radiating from my body. 

“So!” he said while raising his eyebrow. 

“Why? What will you gain in that! Why are you involving my family in this!” I cried out in anger and frustration. 

“I can do whatever I want to! I don’t have to answer you!” he replied calmly making me even angry. 

I took a deep breath and tried to control myself, “Please,” I said while opening my eyes. 

“Let my family be out of this, Please” I said but he had the same look, I understood that he wasn’t satisfied, I knew what he wanted from the beginning and today for sake of my father I had to do it.
