Chapter 5: The Billionaire's Desire


Zaroon’s POV

She is going through a lot, and the only reason is me. It was my mistake to take her along for hotel visit. And when I could sense the disturbance already because of the presence of the reporters there, I should have warned her after that. If informed on time, she would have been more careful and would have avoided today’s problem. I am such a fool. Now I have to take the responsibility to make everything back in place and the only way is to do a press conference and to inform the media about the wrong rumors, making the news. Also I have to warn the media to be careful in future otherwise to be ready to face the consequences routed through the court.

          Since her present state of mind is due to me so I have to take the responsibility of her safety till everything gets back to normal. Also I have to make sure to restrict her public appearance before that. And since she was all scared when she met me in the morning, I thought of taking her to my place and make her understand about the future precautions she has to take.

          She seems worried seeing my house but I ensured her that she is safe here and everything will be fine. I left her in the guest room and went to my room to take some rest. I were stressed since morning and also was running here and there to find her and that too safely.
   
       I went to her room after around 3 hours from the time I have taken her to my house. Its afternoon now. I was a fool thinking that I did not even asked or offered her breakfast. And since now, it is lunch time so I should make sure that she have stomach full lunch and also feel comfortable.

       I knocked her door, no one responded. I opened the door realizing that it is not locked and had the cutest and the precious sight. She, like a baby, was sleeping on the couch and looking like an angel, without any fear and negative thoughts on her face. She is so innocent that she doesn’t even know how to handle the cruel world around her. I never wanted to take off my eyes from her. But suddenly I saw her moving and she was about to fall off from the small couch when I held her to prevent her to fall off. She immediately came back to her senses and went worried looking at me in her room that too without knocking and prior intimation.

          I asked her to feel comfortable and also ensured that there is no need for feeling scared of anything now. I told her about my plans to have a press conference soon to make her situation better allowing her to have her normal life again. She was excited to hear all that and I could see the tears of happiness, forming in the corner of her eyes. Then she asked for the permission of going back to her home to which I had to tell her to have lunch first and then we can talk about the rest later.

          We had our lunch. I could see that she wasn’t comfortable sharing the same table with me. Probably she were thinking and considering me as her boss only, even if we were not in the office. I told her, “Stacy, we are not in office and so I am not your Boss here. You can feel comfortable and have your food properly.”

“Yes Sir!” She replied.

“I told you just now that we are not boss and PA here. You can call me Zaroon, when we are not in office or doing any official work Stacy.” I asked her.

“I can’t call you with your first name, although I will try to address you with your second name i.e. Mr. Faith.”

“Are you always this shy, innocent, obedient and at the same time a little stubborn girl Stacy? I mean why can’t you call me with my first name? Am I not calling you with yours?” I asked her

She blushed and could just say “I will try sir!” and after realizing what she said, we both laughed.

          Hearing my laughter, my mom and dad came to the dining area. This was really a surprising moment for them as they haven’t heard my laughter since years now. Seeing me laughing, that too when my babies were not around, is the miraculous thing for them.

          After lunch, she wanted to go back to her house. I instead her to stay at my place only till everything sorted out but she were stressing on just one thing that Zoe must be worried and she wants to get back to home for her. I could not do anything much, except I told her that I will drop her to her place and she should not come out of her home till I have a press conference and resolve all the issues and rumors.

          I took out the car, she said bye to my mom & dad in a way as if they three know each other since so many years. In the car also I was instructing her to take care of herself and do not come out of her home alone until I confirm her to do that. I also granted her few days leave, knowing which she doesn’t look really excited. Actually it seemed that she was worried for the salary and by not working for a week or so, her monthly budget would fall out of place and that will create further problems for her to worry. Although she didn’t shared, but I could make out from her expressions that she went worried. I asked, “Is there is anything which is bothering you Stacy? If you want, you can share. May be I can help you with your worry and problem.”

“No No, there is nothing as such except that I do not want to miss office without any serious reason. I promise you that I will take care of myself if you please allow me to come to my duties.” She said

          I think I was right with everything I was thinking. I told her “you need not to worry about office, neither need you to worry about the salary. You will get your whole salary without any deductions for this absence.” This brought the spark of happiness in her eyes and I was happy to see her that way.

          We were there in front of her house. Zoe was standing in front of the gate only, may be because Stacy have informed her about her arrival. She seemed excited to see us, especially Stacy. She requested me to come inside and even after my refusal for so many times, she kept persuading me to come inside to have a cup of coffee.


          They have a very simple, yet so beautiful home from inside. Everything was well placed and organized. The simplicity was reflected in every possible thing, starting from the shade of wall colour to the furniture they had in their compact house. They had a beautiful kitchen as well where everything was neatly placed and so much visible that even a strangers can themselves on their own. The coffee Zoe served was delicious in taste and the love and affection I got in their house was beyond words can ever explain. I enjoyed my stay at their place and during our conversation over a cup of coffee, I explained Zoe also about everything which they need to keep in mind about Stacy’s safety and distance from reporters, until I do the press conference. With both of their assurances for being careful, I said good bye to them and left for my place.
