5. Fighting Back!

Veronica's pov

To be honest I never liked the sweet pain so much, it was worth. Pushing and crossing my limits was rewarding.

I don't remember having mind-blowing sex like this. He is too good in bed and not to mention that he also cleaned me after we were done. Zen never did this.

I blinked my lazy eyes open, it's morning. I didn't even realise it. I have got only two hours sleep after he was done with me. Not like I am complaining.

I don't want to get up from this warm bed, silk bedsheets are caressing my body. And I am too tired to move my body but I have to go. This is not my place and I can't stay here.

I looked beside me but found the spot empty. I thought he left but he was standing against the glass wall where he was standing last night.

'I like Darkness'

I wonder what he meant by that.

My eyes wandered on his bare back, he is wearing only pants and standing like a boss while keeping his hands in his pockets.

My body is too much attracted towards him than it should be. I shouldn't be feeling like this. I accept that he is handsome and my body was craving for attention but that's it. I should stay away from this rich shark.

No! I don't regret last night but I have to be careful. I can't risk my Ryan's life.

I got up and grabbed my clothes from the floor.

It's seven o'clock, I have to go back.

I wore my clothes and grabbed my purse.

"I am leaving"

I said looking at his back.

He was aware of my movements but he only turned to me when I said that. He looked at me with his red eyes like he haven't sleep at all.

He is looking sexy with messy hair and a wide chest, he is perfect!

"You can stay if you want... You are tired..."

His thick accent is another attractive thing about him.

"Thank you but I should leave now"

I can't stay here in his house.

He looked at me for a moment, like he is judging my face.

"My driver will drop you..."

He broke the silence.

Does he give a car ride to all his one night stands, I highly doubt.

"Thank you, Mr. Volkov but I'll manage..."

Why do I feel like he has hidden motive behind his behavior.

"Do you regret last night, Doc?"

His question took me off guard. Why does he care?

"No!"

I replied confidently.

"It was my decision and I was aware of the possible consequences but I believe that it was just for last night and we should leave it there... I don't think I can take another favor from you, I have already crossed my limits... I hope this is our last meeting, Mr. Volkov..."

His face remained void the whole time, he didn't reflect any reaction.

"Have a nice day"

I turned around and walked out of his penthouse. I am not surprised that he has penthouse in city's most expensive building.

After attending rich parties with Zen I have understood that rich people are the worst animal on this earth. I have learnt to stay away from them.

I hailed a cab and went back to my house, I am not sure if I should call it mine from now on.

I embraced myself for the worse and walked inside the penthouse which Zen owns in the city. I sometimes wonder how he has so much money, his job doesn't offer this much, I am sure of it.

When I entered I was greeted with unpleasant scene. Mila wearing my clothes and sitting at the kitchen counter while Zen is treating her like she is made up of glass.

"Good morning Veronica"

Mila looked at me with smirk like she knows something.

I quickly covered my neck with my hair before Zen sees it and creates a drama.

"Where were you whole night?"

Zen asked looking at me suspiciously.

Oh! The fuck I care about his question. He only cares about his reputation, nothing else.

"Hospital... one of my patient needed urgent surgery..."

I replied bored and started walking towards my room.

We don't share room anymore.

"Get ready! I am leaving in fifteen minutes"

He said making me halt.

"I am not coming today"

My body is tired and I need sleep after whatever I have done last night.

"May I know the reason"

He asked like I am doing nothing.

I closed my eyes frustrated.

"I am a human Zen... I get tired too... I haven't taken one single leave in these two years... I think you should have this much humanity in you..."

I glared at him.

"I am not running away from my responsibilities... Doctor Matthew will attend my patients... You don't have to worry about it..."

He rolled his eyes and I almost slapped his annoying face.

"I hope you did all arrangements for aniversary party..."

He asked and now I rolled my eyes.

"I was busy taking care of your VIP patient, remember?"

I mocked.

"I think you have enough money to hire a planner and impress your father... I'll play along... I am tired, don't bother me..."

I went to my bedroom and slammed the door shut before he says anything. This is the first time I have lied to him and not for him.

I locked the door and took off my top. His marks are everywhere, on my neck, chest and stomach.

I traced the mark on my neck, I still remember how he gave me this. Our bodies tangled together while he was deep inside me.

God! I have to take my mind off of this. I shouldn't think about it.

Pushing all my thoughts aside, I went to the shower after stripping and stood under it. It felt good when warm water touched my sore body.

I can still feel him between my legs, on my neck and everywhere.

Arghh! Stop it Veronica.

I took a long blissful shower I don't know after how long. In all these hectic things, I forgot how to take care of myself.

Enough now! It's time to love myself and only myself. I am tired of all dramas.

As usual there was nothing for the breakfast so I made myself a sandwich and went to the bed, I Need sleep. That man didn't let me sleep like he said.

'you are not here to sleep'

After peaceful sleep of five hours I woke up, fresh and satisfied.

I still had time so I decided to go on a shopping for anniversary party, it's been long since I have went to the shopping.

I quickly changed myself into dress and got ready after grabbing my purse i walked out just to see Mila.

I don't know what to feel about this woman.

Should I hate her because she is my husband's girlfriend? But I can't blame her when my own husband is a cheater.

Should I feel pity because she chose the man like Zen who doesn't care about anyone but himself only.

I think ignoring her will be the best decision. I was about to walk away but stopped when she said...

"Are you going out, Veronica?"

She smiled at me while grabbing the Apple from the kitchen counter.

"Yes"

I replied with not so interested expressions.

I don't want to get close to this woman.

"Ohh that's nice... Actually, I was feeling tired so I took a day off..."

Her voice is too polite and it's making me uncomfortable.

"Where are you going by the way... Can I join you? I am feeling bored"

The fuck I am taking her with me and how can she ask me this, like seriously!

"If you are tired then you should rest, Mila..."

I faked a smile.

"I thought going out will be refreshing"

She shrugged.

"Don't talk like we are friends... You know what's our relationship. You are pregnant with my husband's child..."

I glared at her.

"I don't want to talk to you... Let's just avoid each other, it will be good for both of us..."

She sighed.

"Veronica I know you love Zen___"

"Nahh! Correction, I used to love Zen... Now staying with him is my helplessness. I really don't care what you guys are doing, just keep it away from me..."

I replied and walked out of the main door.

How I am going to spend one year here? My head started throbbing just with the thought.
