MR BILLIONAIRES MRS CLUMSY CHAPTER 43
(Her insecurities)
~ Eva ~
The moment his lips captured mine, whole world stopped for me. I thought those sparks, tingles and all that butterflies are only limited till books and movies, but no. When you find your soulmate, these things come to real. Because I can feel them.
But all those halted when I felt his hand unzipping my jumpsuit. I suddenly felt uncomfortable and the intimacy suffocated me.
“Aa-Aaron!”, I pushed his arms off me before zipping my dress back. He confusedly frowned at me.
“What happened?”
“Umm… It’s close to 9:00, we should leave now”, I said avoiding his eyes.
“So? It’s our private plane. We can leave whenever we want”, he said sliding his arm around my waist in order to pull me close.
“N-No! I miss everyone back home. Let’s go first. We have so much time for all this”, I said pushing him little on chest. He sighed.
“Fine. Let’s go?”, I nodded and immediately escaped from his grip.
We checked out from hotel before sitting inside car, and were off towards airport.
I shouldn’t have stopped him. But why I did it? Didn’t I missed him? Didn’t I craved for him? Then why did I pushed him away?
His hand is enveloped in mine, but his concentration is focused on phone. Is he pissed?
I should have just went with the flow. The discomfort might be only momentary. I am such a dumb idi0t!
“Aaron?”, I tugged on his hand, he looked up, raising his eyebrows at me.
“Are you angry?”, His face scrunched in frown.
“No. Why ?”, His reply seemed innocent and truthful.
So he is not angry at me. Hush!
Stop imagining things!
“Nothing. Are we there yet?”, I asked looking out of window.
He seems to buy my technique of getting away from his question as he shook his head in deny.
“Fifteen minutes more”, I nodded at his reply.
Once we reached airport, he completed every procedure and then he guided me to where the plane was waiting for us.
“Good evening, Mr. King”, a man wearing pilot’s uniform, smiled at Aaron.
“Evening, Mr. Fredrik. Everything’s done?”, Mr. Fredrick nodded at that.
“Please come”, we entered and I figured out that this plane is different from the one we used to fly off to Maldives. This one is more spacious and luxurious.
An attendant asked us to sit down and tie our seatbelt as the flight will take off within few minutes.
Once we were in the air, I untied myself and stood up. My eyes glancing around the interiors of plane.
“Come”, Aaron said dragging me somewhere. I didn’t resist.
He opened door and I was astonished after eyeing such spacious bedroom inside plane.
I was about to say something when he pulled and throwed me on bed before hovering over me. I gasped in shock.
“We can continue now”, he smirked and my heart hammered against my ribcage. The suffocation and discomfort came back crawling, creating the need of pushing him off me. But I smiled at him. He looks so happy and excited. How can I stop him from getting something that already belongs to him.
My toes curled and hands gripped the bedsheet beneath them. He leaned in and I craned my neck to side for him to have easy access.
Push him away!
I don’t know why but my stupid mind was not accepting this int!macy. My body was not reacting to any of his ksses.
“Aaron!”, I shoved him away and slided off bed. He stood up and made me face him.
“What happened? Did I do something wrong?”, He asked innocently. His face reflected the broken emotions of him that I shattered by rejecting him. I gulped.
“No.”, I said stepping ahead and resting my forehead over his chest. His tensed body relaxed. “I am just tired. I want to sleep”, I lied.
“Oh. I thought…. Nothing. Let’s go to sleep then?”, He asked helding my shoulders, making me look at him. I smiled tiredly.

10 Hours 30 Minutes Later, 12:30 AM, NY, USA.
After a month I breathed my own country’s air. And I felt free. Uncaged from all those devils. My insides swirled in euphoria.
The drive till home was quick. As soon as the car entered driveway, a smile lifted my lips up. I was elated being back.
“C’mon!”, Aaron smiled before stepping out. Opening my side’s door, I too came out. As soon as the main door opened, “Surprise!”, Everyone screamed.
Aunt, Uncle, Chloe, Liza, Adam, Lily, Mrs. Smith, Stella, Martha, everyone was present. The living room was illuminated in bright lights.
Liza had cake in her hands and tears in her eyes. My own eyes watered seeing all of them smiling at me.
“What are you waiting for?”, Aaron whispered before giving me a little push on back. I stumbled before running in aunt’s welcoming arms. Her embrace gave that sense of comfort and relief which you feel only in your mother’s arms.
I cried remembering my mom. Soon I was ripped off from aunt’s embrace and pulled in Chloe’s arms. “I missed you too, bitch!”, She whined while sniffing due to her sobs, I chuckled through my tears.
“What about me?”, Liza asked giving puppy face. Me and Chloe smiled before opening our arms and welcoming her for the trio hug.
After our bone crushing hug, I hugged everyone else.
“Thanks for staying strong. And thanks for coming back”, Adam whispered while patting my back.
“Thank you for getting me back”, I whispered back.
“Okay, let’s cut the cake.”, Liza said eyeing the cake hungrily as she licked her lips.
“Ye-“, Bark!
My eyes widened and I immediately turned only to be tackled on ground with Sky hovering over me. He licked my face, nuzzled himself in my neck, wagged his tail and kept barking.
“Mumma missed you too, baby!”, I cooed stroking his neck.
“Okay! Sky, enough now. Let’s cut the cake”, Adam said before taking Sky off me.
“Where is the cake?”
“Where is Liza?”
“God! Look at the culprit”, we all turned our heads where Chloe was pointing, only to find Liza on couch, with cake smeared all over her mouth. Still sheepishly smiling, she kept gobbling down the cake.
We all laughed.
After dinner, we stayed in living room chatting and making jokes.
“Stella-”
“Yes, sir!”, Stella immediately stood up, her body posture back to being professional.
“Chill!”, Adam chuckled.
“Nothing, I just wanted to remind you about the the statement we are releasing today”, Aaron said, my eyebrows furrowed.
“Don’t worry, sir. It’s all done”, she said before sighing and sitting down beside Martha.
“What statement?”, I asked glancing at everyone.
“When you weren’t here, we released a statement saying that you are sick and need bedrest. But now that you are back, the statement will be withdrawn and new statement about you being perfectly healthy and fine will be released”, Adam clarified, I nodded.
“Where is Troy?”, I asked glancing between Daniel and Aaron. Both tensed.
“He doesn’t work for me anymore”, Aaron said before standing up. My eyes widened.
“Wh-”
“Let’s wrap this up now. Night everyone!”, He said before leaving upstairs. Everyone else stood up and left after giving me a hug and bidding good night.
“Sleep well”, Martha patted my cheek. I smiled while nodding.
I walked upstairs and inside our bedroom. The familiar smell of my room made me smile. You know the fragrance you get only when you enter your own house. That smell. It’s so calming and soothing.
“What are you thinking?”, Aaron asked as his arms looped around my waist. Pulling me towards him, causing my back to be pasted on his front.
“I want Troy back!”, I said turning in his embrace. His face hardened. He was about to withdraw his hands when I held them, placing back where they were before.
“No!”, He said turning his head to other side.
“Why?”
“Because of him you were-”
“Because of Xavier, Aaron. Not because of Troy. And he clearly told me to wait inside for him, it was me who decided to grab coffee from cafe. It was my stupidity that led me there. Not Troy! I want him back as my bodyguard. I don’t want anyone else!”, I said turning my face to the opposite side like him.
“Fine. But on one condition.”
“What?”
“Kss me”
I kssed his cheek. “On lips!”, He emphasized, I shrugged.
“You should have cleared it before. Now forget it!”, I said before walking out of his embrace.
“My fingers are itching”, he pouted while showing me his calloused fingers.
“Why?”
“Because they wants to tickle you”, he whispered smirking.
Sensing the forthcoming danger, I sweetly smiled before sprinting away from him. Aaron thereafter was high on my tail.
Within few seconds I was thrown on bed and tickled mercilessly. I laughed until my eyes teared out.
“Stop! St-Ahh! Stop please!”, I said through my laugh. He immediately stopped and grinned at me.
“Why are you smiling! You enjoy annoying me, don’t you!”, I snapped playfully punching him on chest. He nodded in agreement. I snorted but nonetheless smiled.
His eyes then darkened, intimidately staring at my own hazel ones. Feeling my throat dry, I gulped and averted my eyes.
“Let’s sleep. I am so tired”, I groaned, faking a yawn. He came out of his trance, nodding forcibly before lying down beside me.
“Bad night, sweet nightmares Mrs. King”, he said and I grinned idiotically. My mind dancing in happiness after hearing our usual greeting.
“Same to you, Mr. King!”, I said before snuggling myself in his arms.
The next day was quite enjoyable. Liza, Chloe and Adam came back and we played indoor games. Aunt and uncle left for LA. While others had office work.
“Eva?”, I was about to hit the queen with striker when I heard my name being called.
“Troy!”, I sqealed before rushing towards him and enveloping him in my arms. He chuckled before reciprocating my hug.
“Thank god you are back!”, I said pulling myself out.
“I am not back to be your bodyguard, Eva”, he smiled sadly at me. I frowned.
“Why? Look, you don’t need to worry about Aaron-”
“It’s not about Mr. King. It’s about me. Please try and understand. I can’t be back being your bodyguard. Seeing you deepens my guilt. I am ashamed that I couldn’t protect you.”
“But it’s not your fault!”, I insisted while shaking his hand that was entwined in mine.
“Whatever you say isn’t going to work. I am sorry.”, His apologetic eyes saddened me.
“Fine. But at least come and have fun with us. I missed you, you know?”, I said widening my eyes, trying to make them hopeful.
“Sure”, he smiled and I pulled him, making him sit beside me.
“Feel free, Troy. I am not gonna eat you”, Aaron said patting Troy’s shoulder. Troy nodded.
The day ended soon and we were back in our bedroom after dinner.
“Are you tired?”, Aaron asked as soon as I came out of bathroom after brushing my teeth.
“No”
“Sleepy?”
“No”, I furrowed my brows together.
“Let me make you tired then?”, He smiled goofily at me. Color drained from my face understanding his double meaning comment.
I tried to smile. His lips were on me in the speed of lightning. Though he wasn’t agressive, he wasn’t slow either. His tongue eagerly asked for entrance which I gave him immediately. His hands started freely roaming around my body.
I tried to feel the pleasure but all I felt was discomfort. When his hand slipped inside my shirt and travelled up towards my bosom, I shoved him away, quite harshly that he was off balanced for few seconds.
His fingers curled up in fist. The grip tightening so hard that his knuckles turned white. His jaw clenched and he looked pissed.
Who wouldn’t be?
You just rejected him!
You rejected your husband!, My conscience snapped.
“If you don’t want it, just say it! Stop pushing me away!”, He snapped before storming out of bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him, causing me to flinch at the loud noise.
Are you stupid? Why would you do it!? Why did you pushed him? He is your husband! And moreover the man you are crazily in love with. It’s not that you are doing it for first time. You have done it before! Then what’s the problem now!? You are such a dumbass, Eva!
My thoughts came to halt when the door opened and Aaron entered. But he didn’t looked pissed now. Rather his face showed regret.
“Aaron, I am-”
“I am sorry, Eva”, he said and I was gobsmacked.
Did I heard him right?
“No. I am sorry”, I apologised.
“You shouldn’t be. I am a big stupid. You just came back and instead of giving you time, I just- I am so sorry. Right now all you need is love, care and lots of pampering!”, He said chuckling at the last part. I smiled nervously. “But here I am directly jumping off to have s*x. I am really sorry”, he said.
Is he for real? Just minutes back he was pissed and now he is apologising? For what? For the mistake I did.
Am I not beautiful anymore that he isn’t hurt being rejected? Don’t I turn him on anymore? Am I unattractive now?
I thought he will try to make me comfortable around him, but he just gave up?
“Let’s sleep?”, He said breaking the chain of my thoughts. I nodded.
Switching off the lights, he turned on his side and slept after mumbling our usual greeting.
Before, he was not able to sleep without me in his arms. And now, he just turned his back on me and slept?
I too lied down and soon sleep invaded my conflicted mind.
****____****
Next Day, 4:30 AM
I woke up automatically at 4:30. This was my usual time of waking up in Russia. After waking up, I used to clean garden and porch area. But now that I am here, I don’t know what to do. I can’t even go back to sleep.
At five, Aaron’s alarm rang and he too woke up. “Why are you awake?”, He asked rubbing his eyes. He looked like an innocent cute kid, I just want to pinch his cheeks and kiss the hell out of him. But after last night I am afraid. I am comfortable with kissing, but nothing more than that.
“This was my usual time of getting up there”, I said, his eyebrows short raised before he heaved a sigh.
“Fine, join me for jog then”, he smiled before getting up and heading inside bathroom.
Do I look that unfit?
After he was done, I too entered and brushed my teeth. As I was cleansing my mouth, I noticed myself in mirror. I look so thin. My cheeks looks sagged. My lips are rough, dry and looks chapped. Dark circles are really very dark!
No wonder Aaron didn’t felt hurt yesterday. He must be thankful to me. After all, who would want to look at me?
“Eva, be fast!”, He yelled from outside. I quickly wore my blue leggings and black tank top.
We jogged for almost forty minutes. Or no, let me correct myself. He jogged, while I tried to. After forcing him, he thankfully allowed me to sit on bench before sitting beside me.
“Is that your wife?”, I was drinking water, when a girl around my age came all the while smiling at Aaron.
“Long time no see. And yes, she is my wife”, Aaron said grinning widely.
“Who is she?”, I whisper asked Aaron.
“Umm, she is-”
“I am the one who once had a huge crush on your husband. I confessed to him and he rejected me saying that he is married. My bad luck!”, She chuckled while I shockingly stared at her.
She is so beautiful. Long black hair that reaches upto her waist. A little bit tan skin, curvy figure, striking blue eyes and perfect Colgate advertisement worthy teeth. She looks so divine! Like a Greek goddess.
She likes Aaron?
Why am I so unlucky!? Why is everyone behind my husband! First Riley, then that Mia and now her? And why the fuck are all they so beautiful!?
Can’t atleast one be average looking like me!?
“Are you alright now?”, She asked, I frowned.
“Uhh?”
“You weren’t feeling well, right? I heard in news. But now you look well, just little bit pale and thin”, she said, smiling at me all the time. But her face looked sincerely concerned.
“Yeah”, I nodded meekly.
“I didn’t catch your name”
Why does he want her name? Does he like her now? Shut up, Eva!
“Emily. Emily MacLeod”, she smiled, a tint of pink hitting her cheeks.
Why the hell is she blushing!?
We came back and he removed his jersey, letting his upper body fully naked for my eyes to devour it.
D@mn! He still looks so hot!
It’s been only one month, Eva. What do you expect? Grey hair and bloating stomach.
“She is beautiful, isn’t she?”, I asked.
Please say, not more than you!
“Who?”
“Emily”
“Yeah, she is”, he said before entering bathroom. I sat down on bed, feeling defeated.
Why the high hopes, Eva? Why would he even lie? Of course she is more beautiful than you.
After he was done, I too got ready for office. He didn’t want me to join office so soon, but I insisted so he gave up. I didn’t prepared any lunch box with the thought of going out for lunch today with him.
When I entered office building, everyone greeted me with bouquet and chocolates. He didn’t had chance to kiss me in the mid of all those chaos, so he just left.
“Eva, give this pendrive to Lily.”, I nodded and walked out of Mrs. Smith’s office. After reaching ground floor, I strutted towards reception desk and handed the pendrive to Lily.
“Wow. Who is she?”, she whispered looking in particular direction. I turned only to have my eyes widened at the sight of Aaron and that Emily MacLeod making their way out, all the while smiling and laughing at eachother.
What the h*ell is she doing here?
And where the fuck are they going!?
“Aaron!”, I called out, but he was too busy in laughing with her that he didn’t even hear me. After settling down in car, they drove away.
“Daniel!”, Daniel was right infront of me within seconds.
“Who is she? And why was she here? And where are they going? Why together?”
Daniel chuckled. Did I cracked a joke!?
“She is Emily MacLeod. Daughter of Mr. MacLeod, with whom Mr. King had the merge for the construction of Amusement park. And they are going for sight visit. To check the progress.”, He said, though I was relieved little bit. But that Emily’s beauty was making me restless.
She likes my husband. And on the top of that she is beautiful! Argh!!!!!!
“Okay”, I nodded and left.
The day wrapped up quickly and soon we were heading home.
“How did the sight visit went?”, I asked glancing at him.
“You will be shocked, Eva! Remember the girl we met at morning?”, I nodded like I don’t know anything.
“What about her?”
“She is Mr. MacLeod’s daughter. I was so surprised seeing her in my office.”, He laughed lightly.
“Hmm hmm”, I hummed in response.
“By the way we have dinner together tonight. With Mr. MacLeod’s family. Be ready okay?”, He said glancing at me before concentrating back on the road.
Dinner? And that too when I look like this?
“You had lunch?”, I asked when remembered that he wasn’t available in his office when I went there during lunch time. I had to buy something for me from canteen and eat with colleagues.
“Yeah. But I am really feeling hungry right now. Let’s grab something quick”, he said looking out of the window for any cafe. After finding one, he stopped car at the side.
“Wait for me”, with that he was out.
He came with two chicken sandwiches. “Here”, he said handing me one.
“I am not hungry”, I said refusing to eat it.
“Eat! You look malnourished!”, He said forcing me to take a bite.
What did he just said? Malnourished? I look that ugly!?
“I don’t want to come for dinner with you. I want to rest at home.” Let’s see, if he tries to insist.
“If that’s what you want, fine with me. I don’t want to force you”, he said smiling sweetly at me, while I looked at him in disbelief.
I scoffed after turning away and fixing my gaze outside window.
****____****
7:30 PM, King’s Mansion
“It’s just dinner, Aaron. Not a date!”, I said as he was spraying cologne over him.
“But I always get ready like this.”, He said fixing his tie. “Don’t wait for me. And eat your dinner. Bye!”, He said before kssing my forehead.
It’s just been two days that I am back and look at him. Going for dinner and all that. Can’t he spend time with me?
I couldn’t sleep. It was around 11:00 but still sleep was nowhere near to me.
After fifteen minutes I heard Aaron’s car horn.
“Enjoyed?”, I asked as soon as he entered bedroom. He flinched before looking at wall clock and then at me. I raised my eyebrows expecting the answer.
“You aren’t alseep yet?”, He asked loosening his tie. I helped him to get rid of it.
“I was waiting for you”, I muttered. “How was the dinner by the way?”, I repeated my question.
“Great. You should have been there”, he smiled charmingly.
Aish! You didn’t even asked me again!
“Why? I would have been the third wheel between you and Emily! “, I regretted the moment I said those words. He stared dumbfoundedly at me, before his eyes widened in realisation.
“What did you just said?”, I gulped at the intensity of his voice.
“Nothing”, I whispered stepping back. He grabbed my elbow, pulling me harshly towards him.
“Repeat what you said!”, He demanded.
“I know I don’t look beautiful anymore, Aaron! I know I look thin and malnourished. And it’s okay if you don’t love me anymore! I can understand. And Emily is beautiful, I can un-understand if you like her now. But the way I am now isn’t my mistake. They didn’t fed me well. I was just allowed to have breakfast and dinner. I used to work continuously. From sunrise until sun sets! It’s not my mistake that I look thin now. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat. I was always under stress. I-“,
“Shh! Shh…. Calm down”, he said kssing my forehead.
“You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Why would you think otherwise?”, He cooed caressing my cheek with his thumb.
“You didn’t cuddled with me last night!”
“And?”
“You didn’t kssed me since morning!”
“And?”
“You…. You called me malnourished!”
“And?”
“You called that Emily beautiful!”
“And”
“You didn’t asked me twice to join you for dinner!”
“And?”
“You- No!”
“Okay”, he nodded. “C’mon, let’s sit down first.”, He said and sat down, forcing me to sit on his lap. After resisting for few seconds, I gave up and rested my head on his shoulder.
“After last night, I figured out that you might be uncomfortable being intimate with me. So I avoided cuddling. But at midnight, I did hugged you. But after I fell into deep sleep, I don’t know what happened. About why I didn’t kssed you in morning, has the same reason. I don’t want to force myself on you. About calling you malnourished, I am sorry if you felt offended. I was just being concerned. And Emily beautiful? Nah! She might be beautiful but not more than my Little Warrior. And why I didn’t forced you for dinner was because I don’t want to force you for anything. I thought you will be uncomfortable there, so I didn’t pressurized you. I am sorry if your were sad because of me. I didn’t mean to”, he said while playing with my wedding ring. I felt guilty for imagining stupid things.
“No I am sorry. I don’t know what happened to me. I just, I thought that you don’t find me attractive anymore”, he looked at me with wide eyes.
“About not finding you attractive anymore. Well, the answer is right infront of your eyes”, he said pointing down, I gasped at how hard his crotch was. A giggle escaped my mouth, he smiled shooking his head.
“By the way, what happened to Xavier?”, I asked, his smiled turned into smirk.
“He is in better place now”, he pecked my lips.
Don’t let that man back in our lives, God.
