Chapter 7 Stalked

Third person's pov

Meera was brought to a lavish room consisting of a king sized bed with maroon comforter and pillows on white sheets, beige couches, ceiling to floor window across a wide balcony, attached bathroom and walk in closet , vanilla white walls decorated with expensive pieces, tv, paintings, the room itself was huge in size. The maid took her leave saying she would be back in half and hour to take her for the dinner, her boss hates tardiness at which Meera scoffed and wanted so badly to arrive late for the dinner. But no she had to do better than provoking him unnecessarily. Meera sighed and took in the room. She felt out of place and unwelcome. It felt more like a golden cage she was kept in, like an exotic bird which was just for a show to brag about to others to have possession of such a rare 'thing'. Thing. She sighed sadly. She was just a thing for him to possess. No, she is not a thing to own
She is a human with feelings and emotions. She has ambitions, dreams and her life to live which she will not let to get ruined by some dominating, egoistic, selfish and evil man. She will fight him tooth and nail. Oh how unfair it was! Without doing anything she has to fight for her own freedom which is forcefully taken away from her. She took a deep breath to calm herself when she lost control of her emotions. She has to be strong and must figure out her next move. She can't let him touch her let alone claim her even a single hair strand.

First deciding to get freshened up, she went inside the closet to get yet another shocking surprise. She froze in her place, roaming her eyes at every corner taking in the clothes exactly of her sizes. She can tell by looking at the them which filled the closet completely. Everything she would ever need was there. She felt uncomfortable, scared. A tremor ran down her body. How did he know her size, preferences? And the main concern was he was so sure of himself that he prepared a closet, room only for her beforehand knowing she will be here one way or another making her feel defeated and trapped with no way out. She wondered how to save herself from such a dire situation and a man who never saw the face of defeat, who got, no, took what he wanted anyhow not even considering if he hurt or destroyed anyone in the process. She shook her head praying to god to give her the strength which she needed desperately.

After getting changed and freshed , Meera was sitting on the bed waiting. And exactly after half and hour, the maid Mary came to take her down the stairs for dinner. Without a word she followed her to the dining room which can fill at least twenty five people and more, a huge beautiful crystal chandeliers was hanging above the table. Maids were standing behind waiting and he sat at the head chair looking like a king who owned the world. Mary led her to the first chair on his right side and she sat with a sigh preparing herself for whatever to come.

He signalled maids to serve with a nod who immediately did. Various types of dishes were served but what surprised her was that she was served only vegetarian Indian dishes of her choice. With wide shocked eyes she looked at him who was totally unfazed and was eating his food in the best table manners and doing so he looked so handsome and attractive. She asked him stuttering, everything was now starting to scare her further,

"How.. how do y.. you.. k. know ww.. what.. I likkk.. like.. to... ea.. eat? "

He gave her a blank stare and replied in a bored tone like it was the most normal thing,

"I know everything about you, doe. I doubt I know you more than you know yourself"

She looked at him dumbfounded. Her insides were churning in anxiety, stomach fluttering in fear. She didn't like his answer it gave her uncomfortable feelings therefore she asked further meekly,

"How do you know? "

He sighed in irritation and said in his deep voice, frustration visible,

"I don't like interruptions while eating. Keep that in mind for you are going to live with me from now on"

"And to answer your question, I investigated you, doe. Hence I know everything about you"

He replied nonchalantly as if he just did not tell her that he investigated her thoroughly, every detail he wanted to know even her toothbrush brand that much obsessed he was of her. He felt proud to know everything about his doe. She was overwhelmed by the said information. She gulped nervously, her nerve ends felt numb from the new information. It was unnerving and unsettling. She misunderstood him completely,

"I didn't know you were a stalker besides being a billionaire entrepreneur"

he chuckled in amusement, his doe knew nothing about his ways. He shook his head saying,

'Well it doesn't count as stalking but the men I sent to look after you till now and further in the future sure does"

"You sent men after me?!! "

she yelled in shock, however the nervousness in her now is replaced by fear spoke volumes. Her heart literally stopped beating the moment she heard that his men were following her until now. She was shook to her very core. She never realised or noticed anyone following her. He was now going way overboard.

"Keep your voice down. I will not tolerate one more disobedience of yours"

He said in a low threatening voice making her shiver. He looked frightening, her appetite was long gone but the look he had made her wanting to vomit everything in the stomach in fear. She swallowed hard, it was not the time to give in to the fears. She will fight. It was for her life although it felt useless. But still, gathering the remaining strength in her she said shakily,

"Don't order me around, I am not your slave"

"I never said you were"

He said nonchalantly. She glared at him hiding how afraid he has made her by the information and said in a slightly firm voice,

"But you definitely treat and expect me to be like one"

He shook his head in a way that said she was being childish which frustrates her resulting in her saying,

"How dare you to stalk me! You have no right. From now on stop your nonsense otherwise--",

"Or what? "

he cut her off with a cold stare which wavered her but she composed herself and said looking back in his eyes,

"You will see my wrath",

"Oh really? How amusing"

He replied smugly which infuriated her. But before she can say anything he placed the knife and fork in his hand forcibly on the table standing up. Startled she followed his moves by her eyes nervously. He spoke up authoritatively,

"Mary, take doe to my study room, now"

"Why? I don't need to go anywhere"

She said slightly panicked. Why would he suddenly wanted me in a room alone and left dinner in the middle, she thought. He said looking directly in her eyes with a dark glint which made her scared enough to know that whatever awaits her now was bad, very bad,

"You disobeyed me doe. You interrupted me during dinner not once but several times even after my warnings which I can't ignore"

He nods at Mary who was beside Meera who didn't notice her standing beside her. Mary dragged her to his study on the second floor. Meera was in disbelief. Did he really expect her to silently eat dinner after knowing she was stalked?
