A well known stranger

I got startled.. When I heard him .

Damn.. How much of my conversation with Rita did he heard..

I turned around and looked at him terrified, not for me but for Rita, well he already did the worst with me.

But this girl here is innocent.. I only forced her to talk to me..

" It's not like that.. Actually I only asked her.. It's not her fault.. " I said.. Stuttering..

I have to defend Rita.. Since the time I have been here she is the one that has made me feel comfortable.. I can't let her pay the price for something that I did..

" Oh really.... So now... You are interested in my family... Great.. Come with me... I'll let you know everything that you want to... I'll clear out all your queries.. Come.. " William said.. In a sarcastic tone, then he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him.. Guiding me inside our room..

As soon we reached inside.. He released my hands and pushed me.. I collided with couch and fell on it..

" So what the hell you want to know... Ask me.. " He took a pause than again with more intensity he barked.. " Ask me... What you were asking to Rita . Let me tell you one thing Alizeh , all the people inside this empire are under me.. No one will ever come up to you to help.. Do you get that.. No one.. It's better for you to accept the reality that... You are mine now.. I guess I did proved that to you on our wedding night.. Didn't I... " He said the last part with an evil smirk..

I was listening to him ,horrified. I can't do a thing to him not because he is powerful but because in return he'll hurt my family..

" One more thing.. Alizeh... Don't you ever try to talk to anyone about my family.. For one they are not going to tell you.. So it is waste of time and two.. I would not like that, and if next time I caught you like this.. Than it won't end on a warning.. " After threatening me he left..

How.. How.. Will I be able to defeat him... There was only one way.. To know about his past.. To know about his family.. That was the only way I could have reached one of it's weak point to destroy him..

But knowing how merciless and arrogant he is... No one is going to tell me anything and I too won't like to risk their lives.. On my account.

This low life.. Still doesn't know that I saw him murdering my mother..

I want to tell him though and I will but at the moment when he'll pay for his sins..

How easily he tuned out to be more of monstrous after apologizing to me last night when he thought I was asleep but I wasn't.. I heard his apology.

I thought there's something more to him... But.. No he is a devil and will always remain so..

I slowly composed myself and got out of the room.. This room makes me remember the night. When he forced himself on me..

When I got out.. Rita gave me a Sympathetic.. Look.

I smiled and went out in the garden..

Vaughn came from behind..

" Madam, I would like to inform you that Sir is going for an official tour to France and will be back after a week.. And he told me, to tell you that.. You can go out to shop or stroll but you are not allowed to go out of the city.. Or.... " He paused and looked here and there as if searching for an Appropriate word to cover his boss's arrogance..

But I already understood what comes after that.. If I tried to go out.. Or run away.. He'll hurt my family..

He didn't even allowed me to contact them.

When I asked him , about them he just said that they are fine and they also know I'm good here.. That's all nothing else..

Now it was clear, he'll not allow me to talk to them even.. Visiting my family is far cry now.

" It's okay Vaughn I get it.. You don't have to say anything else. " I said..

First time I saw a smile on his face since I came here.Vaughn gently gave a pity smile and left.

So now I'm caught up in this city... But I can utilize this time.. When he is not around, though I know he must have kept his secret detective to keep an eye on me.

Still if I can be more careful, gradually may be I'll be able to know about his past. A week is long time

Yes, I can.. Do it..

I went inside and tried to talk to Rita again but she was reluctant to do so.

I decided to give her some time, as it's too early today in the morning only William literally barked at us.. May be tomorrow I'll be able to prey information out of her.

I told them not to prepare dinner for me. And went out. I still want to revisit that beautiful location that I visited last night..

Due to the shocking news I wasn't able to actually enjoy the scenery..

I decided to head back to that place , I hated being here in this palace it only reminded me of all the brutality that, monster did..

To clear my head and.. To bring it back on track, I decided to go over there.

I searched for Eric to drop me there.. But I wasn't able to find him.

I went to Rita to ask about him.

She told me that William has asked him to drive some of the officials.. So he'll be back.. Tomorrow..

Damn it...

I can't stay in this house , it haunts me.. I need some fresh air.

I told Rita.. That I'm going for strolling.

She instantly said. That. I'm not allowed to go anywhere on my own.. William would not like it.

I didn't wanted to but having no option left ,I sternly told and warned her that.. I'm the one who is Williams wife so I can do whatever I want she should just act like my servant the one she is..

I hated to talk her this way but I better know, that if didn't than I will be stuck in here only.

After that I left, the palace , I walked for miles... No taxi nothing..

Damn I forgot this monster owns a wholesome of property.. And this whole grassland is his..

So it was obvious that I wouldn't be getting any taxi over here.

I kept walking.. And walking finally I was in the main city... I guess I walked for at least two hours.. To get In here.

It was already.. 7 of the night by now. Stars started twinkling and the moon ws bright and up in the sky.

First I covered my face.. So that no one gets to see me.. Cause I already saw yesterday that I was in the newspaper.

Finally I hailed a taxi and reached to my desired destination.

What a beauty this place is. I was feeling the beautiful breeze.. I could feel myself a little free after a long . Quietly I sat on the River side.

But my mind was still wondering on how to know more about William, at least now I know who he is.. But what I can't understand is this.. A king.. Such a high profile man.. How come he knew my mother.. How did he became her rival.

We were just a common people living in a normal home having a normal life.. So how do he got to know my mother.. We were neither super rich nor Royal.

I was lost in my thoughts when I suddenly heard someone..

"So are you stalking me now.? "

What ..!..who the hell is that? . To accuse me of something so worst.

I turned around and saw.. Him again.. The handsome beautiful yet most annoying stranger .

" I can say the same about you.. " I countered..

" Would not argue over there.. "He said effortlessly and sat right beside me.

" So how are you.. Now.. " He asked..

" What..? " I asked confused

" I mean yesterday you were not looking that good.. You were all crying and shocked to know about it all.. " He said.. Trailing of the last part..

I gave him a skeptical look. Isn't it too odd for someone unknown to ask me such a personal things

" Hey , don't mind ha... I was just looking out for you. " He said.. Smiling a little..

I saw his genuine smile for the first time last night he was smirking most of the time and for the rest he was consoling and I was too shocked to notice any of his features but now... Ohh boy ... His smile was alluring...

But it is still odd for him to look out for me.

" Thanks, for looking out but I don't think it's your place to look out for me " I said sternly.

" Haa, cocky much.. I see, interesting... " He said.. And.. There his smirk was back again.

Noticing that I did not liked his remarks at all.

" Hey, sorry I didn't mean to offend.... Ohh now I get it.. You must be wondering that how this stranger is so nosy.. Sorry for that. Actually... It's kind of my style to look out for people. Around me.. I like to see them happy. " He took a pause and then continued

" By the way,let me introduce myself... I'm Eddie.. "He said finally after all the gibberish he decided to provide me his name..

I was about to introduce myself too... I can't be rude to him for no reason or just because he asked about my well being.. When suddenly he said again..

" You don't need to introduce yourself... It would be a crime to not to know the kings wife..

I know your name by the way.. And let me tell you it's beautiful.. Just like you.... Alizeh, "he said. Emphasising on my name a little..

Well what is with this man.. He is a complete stranger and knowing myself since the accident I used to never converse with anyone, if anyone did tried to talk.. I used to run away.. But with him.. I was.. Feeling comfortable... Strange..

" Aren't you interfering to much.. " I said.. Trying to sound rude..

Even though I was liking his company and was drooling over his looks... But I can't take the risk , I still don't know him..

" Hey, I wasn't trying to offend... My purpose wasn't to do that.. I was just trying to be your friend.. "

He said.. Justifying his actions..

"Friendship with me.. Strange... I just know you since last night and now. You want me to be your friend.. How stupid do you think I'm..? " I said.. Rebuking him.

"Wohhh... You are getting furious... Trust me I don't have any ulterior motives.. It's just that last night I saw you all alone.. And for a matter of fact I know you are alone. I can see the pain in your eyes... And I do know how your husband is.. So I was just trying to be a friend.. To try to make your life a little bit easy.. " He said.. In a concerned way..

No one beside my father and brother cared for me.. But him..

I was looking into his eyes... He was looking at me intensely..

I was getting lost inside his beautiful green eyes. When suddenly his phone rang..

He received and.. " Hello..... " Silence for a while... Then.. " What... ?.. " He exclaimed.. Shocked..

He hung the call..

And got up. I also stood up.. He took my hands in his..

Wait what..... Is he doing..

" Alizeh, we need to go.. Right now... Before it's too late... "

He said all concerned and worried..

Before I could respond he dragged me by my hands and got me inside his car.. And started driving.

While I was protesting....trying to reason him out why he was doing so.. But he ignored my question..and kept driving.

He finally did stopped the car..

I instantly got out of the car.. And then what I saw.....

How....?
