DESTINED TO LOVE
EPISODE 11
Emma’s POV.
I felt two muscular arms carrying me, I opened my eyes to see Edan. He was carrying me towards an elevator.
“E-Edan.” I tried to call him but it came out much like a whisper.
“You’re awake.” He looked at me with a smile.
“W-Where a-am I-I?” It was difficult for me to talk. I felt so weak.
“Ssshh…Just keep silent.” He said politely to me and I remained silent. I hide my face in his shirt and nuzzled in his chest. The lift door opened in a penthouse and with slow steps, he entered in.
“Welcome home. Sir.” A maid bowed in front of him.
Edan ignored her and went past her. He climbed the stairs and I was afraid that he’s going to drop me so I gripped his shirt tighter. He took me towards a room, there was a king size bed in the middle of the room as he gently put me on the bed and kissed my forehead. I could seem to ease up a little by his kiss.
He went out of the room and after 20 minutes, he returned with a bowl.
“You should eat something.” He said to me while sitting beside me.
“I don’t want to.” I wasn’t hungry at all.
“Yes, you will.” He said firmly leaving no space to argue.
He took some soup on the spoon, blew it and moved it towards me. I blinked twice.
Should I eat it? This all feels a little awkward. No! A lot awkward!
“Come on.”
Now I’m feeling like a small child whose being taken care. At last, I decided to open my mouth to eat it.
“That’s my girl.” He smiled looking into my eyes.
After finishing the soup, he went downstairs and brought a glass of water. He helped me to get up and give me some pills.
“This will help you with your drunken state.”
I took the medicine and laid on the bed. That soup really helped me. He went towards the end of the bed and sat there. He took my feet and removed my heels. I was feeling so d–n embarrassed. He’s my boss and he’s doing that. Why is he doing that? I should just die of embarrassment!
“Edan leave it.” My face got red with embarrassment. Why is he doing it?
“It’s okay, you will feel a little comfortable without wearing them.” With that, he removed my heels.
“You should take some sleep.” He patted my head. I know he had seen everything and now he must be thinking who was he? I know his mind was full of questions but he wasn’t asking any. I liked him for this, he does not push you to tell you. My thoughts about him were all wrong.
He was going to leave when I hold his hand. I don’t know why I did that? But I did stop him.
It was kind of an involuntary action which I didn’t quite understand. He turned his head to see me. He knelt down so his face was in front of me.
“Where are you going to sleep?” I questioned.
“There are plenty of rooms.” He replied politely. I looked into his blue eyes, what if he hadn’t saved me? What could have happened to me? And Den! I’m sure that he was gonna hurt me in the most terrible way. Why when everything seems to get settled down, someone has to come and ruined it completely. Why Me? I hate my life, I hate myself, I’m a pure bad luck.
I looked in Edan’s eyes and the next thing which I said was a shock to me too.
“Don’t leave me,” I whispered a little embarrassed at what I’m saying. I was afraid that Den will come for me or this is a dream and when I’ll wake up I’ll be in Den’s room.
He blinked for a few minutes and then he nodded. He removed his shirt and I couldn’t seem to blink my eyes. I looked at his chest and abs. He smirked at my reaction and I immediately turned my head to the other side.
He laid right beside me. My face facing him.
“Have you eaten something?” I asked.
“Why? You care about me?” He smirked.
What the? I was just saying formally. This idiot.
“No. I don’t. I was just asking because I don’t want your grumbling stomach to disturb my sleep.” I lied with a frown.
He chuckled.
“You know you’re bad at lying.”
He poked me on the cheek slightly.
I pouted.” You know you’re a jerk.”
“You look cute when you pout.” He smiled showing his thousand dollars smile.
“Don’t make me regret my decision” I retorted. Blood rushed in my cheeks making them warm up.
I was going to turn my head to other side but Edan put his arm around me and in a swift motion, I was in his arms. He held me tightly in his arms and I was a lightly shocked. This was the second time I was in his arms. It felt safe, It felt like no ones gonna get me now. It feels like now I was safe from Den.
My breath hinged at the thought of what could he had done to me. I controlled my tears and drew closer to hide my head in his bare chest. I tried my best to control my tears but it was useless, two or three tears were able to leave my eyes as a sob left my mouth. Edan nuzzled his face into my hair and tighten his arms around me.
“Emma stop crying. Don’t you cry ever again.” He rubbed my back with his hand.
“He’s not going to ever get you again. I will never let him get my Emma again.”
My Emma? It felt great to hear those words from his mouth. But why? Why they sounded so d–n good?
These words made my worries fade away. I smiled. I looked into his blue eyes and I could just drown in them.
“That’s the smile I’m looking for. You would not stop smiling again. Especially not around me. Okay?”
I nodded with a smile.
“And if you did. I’m gonna punish you.” He said with a playful smile. I rose my eyebrows at his statement.
“And how you’re gonna punish me?” I challenged him.
“Watch me.” He smirked. He let go of me and climbed on top of me.
“What are y-” I was cut off mid-sentence when he started tickling me. His fingers tickling my belly and stomach.
I laughed.
“Stop!” I yelled. My eyes getting watery.
“Edannn!” I couldn’t stop laughing.
“Stop it… I promise.” With that he let me go and returned to his previous position. I was still bringing myself back from all the laughter…
My mood had been switched to a good one right now because of Edan.
“You look even cuter when laughing.” I blushed at his comment.
“And even more cute when you blush.” He kissed my cheek and my eyes got wide open at his action as I gasped. His kiss sending shivers right down my spine.
“I’m going to sleep.” With that, I shut my eyes, turned to other side and pretended to be asleep.
“You’re full of surprises.” He chuckled and held me closer, nuzzled into my hair and in that position, we went to a peaceful sleep..
I opened my eyes slowly. I was hoping a terrible headache but no it wasn’t that bad. But, I had a little headache though. I adjusted my vision to the brightness of the room and opened my eyes.
I turned my head to see Edan sleeping. What is he doing here? I turned around to see that I wasn’t in my room. It was a large room painted in grey and brown color. It was Edan’s! But how I get here? I tried to get up but I was pinned in by Edan’s arm. I turned my head to see a glass of water and some pills.
So, That’s how I am feeling well.
I turned my head towards Edan. I couldn’t remember well what happened last night I was in the club and then went out and then someone came. I tried my hard to remember who was he and then I remembered
him.
Den…
Suddenly all memories of last night came alive, those dragging by Den and then that hard kiss, that slap and then saved by Edan. All memories were alive now and my breathing rapid. I felt Edan shift by my side.
“You’re awake.” he smiled.
“Yes.” I was embarrassed by my actions yesterday. I remembered all the things which I said to Edan. Why I even stopped him from leaving me? He looked at me, his expression become a serious one.
“Are you regretting your last night decision.” He cocked his eyebrow as he was looking into my eyes, his face a little serious as he was resting his head on his hand.
“Yes. I shouldn’t have done that.” I replied lightly. I didn’t lie. Although I enjoyed his presence and that was the most peaceful sleep I ever had. I felt so safe but it was wrong. This is wrong.
“Done what?” His face getting angrier.
“You should have dropped me at my house. You shouldn’t have brought me here.”
I don’t want to spend much time with him. It’s highly inappropriate for a boss and his assistant to hang around and yet I had slept with him.
What will people say? They will think me like a w—e who is after his money. I had read many stories about that and I don’t like how people point their fingers at others without knowing the real them.
“Why I wouldn’t have? I couldn’t just leave you alone. You were in a really bad condition. And in no way, I was gonna leave you alone. No way in hell!” His voice getting angrier.
.
He stood up from the bed and starting pacing around the room trying to calm his nerves down. His hands clenched and unclenched as he rakes his hands in his thick black hair and muttered something under her breath.
“What is wrong with you Emma? Why couldn’t you just trust me? Did I hurt you? Did I make you cry? Are you afraid of me? I couldn’t seem to get you. The more I try to know you the more you back away. D–n it, Emma! Why are you like this?” His voice laced with anger, his eyes staring at me.
I just couldn’t do this, how do I tell him? I had known him for only a few weeks.
“Thanks for everything but I need to go.”
I can’t just answer him. I’m terrible at friendship with guys. Den always yelled at me that our relationship didn’t work because of me. He used to say I was ugly, I was a no supermodel and he hated me. I know that for me love, happy endings don’t exist at all…. and I don’t want to make his life hell too. I could never find peace, never find love. They are all stories, but this is the reality. We have to face it.
Edan is handsome, sexy and he could get every girl he wants but I’m not for him….besides who would like to be friend with me. I need to go…
All the thoughts made my head pound harder. I need to get out of here.
“I’m going. That was a big mistake.” With that, I tried to stand up. But as I did, my head started spinning as everything blurred and then everything went black.

*Edan’s POV*
I was hoping she might have given me a chance. I thought I had won her trust. But I was wrong, it is true that I just wanted to get into her panties but now I felt something that I hadn’t felt before. I don’t know what it is…
I was fuming with anger right now. Last night I thought we could start as friends, but now she regrets her decision.
Dammit! She’s just so d–n stubborn.
I was staring at her after yelling and was expecting an apology from her or something like ‘I’m kidding Edan’ but no. I was so wrong! Instead, she said, “I’m going. That was a big mistake.”
What the f—–g crap!
She stood up ready to leave but instead, she passed out.
“Emma!” I shouted and ran towards her before she fell on the floor. I caught her but she was unconscious. I shook her, even slightly slapped her face but no, she didn’t even move. I felt like the ground had fallen from underneath my feet.
“Emma…Emma…!” I called her but to no avail. I had never felt like this before, it felt like I had lost something most precious, most valuable.
I called the doctor and put her gently on my lap. After about 15 minutes finally, the doctor arrived.
“What took you so long?” I snapped at him.
“I’m sorry. Mr. Wilton, there was a little traffic…” He stuttered
I don’t care if there was a traffic or some disaster all I care is about this girl.
“Shut up… Do your work.” I yelled.
“Yes, sir! Right away. Please lay her on the bed.”
I laid her on the bed gently as he examined her carefully.
“What’s wrong?” I was so worried about her.
“She’s too weak. I think there is something troubling her. Does she pass out often?” The doctor questioned and I didn’t know what to answer. I don’t know anything about Emma. I don’t even know why he passed out or what’s the reason behind it.
I don’t know.
“Don’t know.” I shook my head as the doctor nodded, and started to think.
“The possible reason behind her sudden pass out could be some stress or she’s thinking about something so deeply. I think something has affected her mind really bad and this has affected her health too.”
“What?” I snapped at him.
What stress? What the f–k!
“Sir if she will remain continuously in that condition I mean under continuous stress. Then this could affect her brain badly. Depression, stress isn’t a good thing if it last longer. It could cause your brain to malfunction.” He replied.
Oh no! That’s not good. I can’t let anything happen to her.
“When she will wake up?”
“I think in few hours. She should rest. I think she has been stressing about something quite lately. I’ll give her some vitamins.” The doctor said and prescribed some medicines. I gave him a nod and with that, he left. I looked at her sleeping stature. Her face pale and her breathing calm.
She had been working so hard on those deals we wanted. I even told her to rest a bit but no, she does not listen at all. I bet she had put all-nighters and worked really hard. And aside from that, I didn’t know she has something else troubling her.
She suffered from a lot I guess.
I sat beside Emma and hold her hand. I looked at her sleeping. She looked so peaceful, so beautiful.
“What are you doing to me, Emma? Who are you? Why have you not fallen for me? Why Emma? Why are you so important to me? Why am I feeling these strange things? Why did I feel like my whole world is shattered to pieces? Why?”
How am I gonna find the answers to these questions? To whom should I talk. Am I ill or something? Why can’t I seem to get her out of my mind? Why?
