Chapter 8 Divorced Woman

They both stare in each others eyes, her heart beats loudly in her chest as her hands shake slightly and he stares at deeply in her eyes. He feels a shiver run through his body and his kind starts thinking various things,

'How nice, it could be if I can touch these soft cheeks of hers and calm down these accelerating heart of hers. How will it feel if it was my head that lies on these glorious bosom of hers? I would grab those huge things at her backside and carry her on my legs and... wow! Just wow, what am I becoming? Why am I fantasizing about this woman? Oh damn it, is it because I am still a virgin? Am I getting so old that, I am losing my mind?'

He removes his hand from her chest abruptly and sighs when he feels a lose, he looks back at her and sees that, she is looking at him with hope in her eyes. He shakes his head narrowly and thinks,

'I should stay away from this woman if I don't want to break my rules, no sex before marriage.'

He glances at her with determination but then looks away when he sees her earnestly watching him with hopeful eyes. And then he answers her more like being forced than willfully,

"I am so sorry but I can't be your boyfriend, as you must have found out, I am only a young man trying to make it in life. So I can't handle a divorced woman with five children, and to top it, I am not in love with you to take the risk."

Her shoulders shrugs and she sighs disappointedly but then she shakes her head and says to him,

"I think you might have gotten me wrong, I want you to be my fake boyfriend. This is just so I can get a divorce from my husband, I am ready to taint my name to get away from that beast. You understand?"

He shakes his head confused, and looks at her worried and thinks,

'What would make a married woman want to taint her name? And who is that man that would treat this goddess harshly for her to want to get away from?'

Miranda grabs his hand once again and he sighs but doesn't pull away and so she explains,

"That man is evil, I have being married to him for nine years of my sorrowful life and as I told you, I have five children. But we are just slaves in his house, no one knows I am his wife and I know no family of his. My family lives in B country and here we are in A country, I don't have access to a mobile or a telephone. I can't tell you all the awful things he has been doing to me and my children. Can you please help us?"

He sits up on the bed and asks in wonder,

"Who is this man you are talking about? Would I know him?"

She sighs and answers nodding her head with distress written all over her body, just mentioning his name torments her,

"You might know him since he is the most sought after bachelor and businessman, Brown Victor Hugo. Popularly known as Mr Brown of the Brownies group of companies."

He shakes his head and removes his hand from her hold and then thinks,

'No, no, no one goes against Mr Brown because of his reputation in the country. He just can't be the one she is married to, that charitable man can not be this evil to a woman.'

He looks at her disbelievingly and asks her watching her intently,

"Are you sure of what you are saying? It's not just anybody you are defaming here. That man is a God on earth so be very careful of your speech."

A tear drops her eyes and he hurriedly rushes to her to clean it off her face. They both stare at each other surprised and they both think,

'What is the meaning of this?'

Boston drops down on the bed and sighs and then he whispers,

"You don't have to tear up, I believe you. You have no reason to lie to me about a popular and potential man like he is. I guess the sheepish face he shows to the world is just one to cover the wolf inside him."

She looks up at him and plies,

"You really believe me? And so, you will help me?"

Boston turns away from her, and thinks in conflicting thoughts,

'I should help her, no I shouldn't, I am just an ordinary man and the man, I am against is one known by the world. I can't win against him, but I could try right? For the goddess and her children. But what about this pull towards her? I don't like it, I shouldn't lust for someone like her who only needs a shoulder to cry on. Oh, God, what should I do? I think I should, ...'

"No, I can not help you!! Please, leave me out of this. He can do whatever he wants with me and the only family I have left and go scout free. I just can't... I am sorry."

He says with force and eyes clenched closed, he grits his teeth and continues,

"Please, leave me alone, I would want to get some rest. Thank you for understanding."

She gets up and looks down at him with tears in her eyes, but she cleans them and clears her throat and then says to him,

"It's okay, I won't be a burden on you. But please, overthink your decision, I will come back for your final decision. Don't for getting a life is on the line, do have some rest."

Miranda makes her way out of the room and he turns in her way, she sighs and thinks,

'I should give him some space to think and also to know if he will be able to keep this little information a secret before I let it all out to him.'

He keeps his eyes on her back and thinks,

'How can a mother of five be this alluring? I wonder how it will feel to open those while bending her over and continuously slamming into her. Oh, my God, I knew it, it's just right that I denied her, she makes me think the unthinkable about her.'
