The CEO Of My Dreams Returned To Me

Chapter 96: Cuddles

Huria and Skyla were sitting in bed with Skyla’s head resting on her bestie’s shoulder and the teddy bear cuddled up in her arms. Both of them were watching an anime on the laptop. They were totally engrossed in it. Huria’s mouth was hanging open as she grabbed a handful of popcorn and was about to stuff them in her mouth when the male lead finally kissed the female lead.

"Yah!" She threw them in air instead of stuffing her mouth and Skyla graciously laughed, happy for them.

The episode ended and Huria banged the laptop close.

"Haw! I want someone to kiss me like that, right now." She fell back against the bed frame and sighed.

"You are always horny," Skyla teased, rubbing her face with the teddy bear in her arms.

"Aren’t you?" ’He doesn’t even touch her, that bastard,’ Huria thought the rest inside her head.

"Sometimes, yes," she wistfully sighed, placing her bruised cheek on the teddy bear’s head.

"Then do something about it Skyla, you are only 29. You have a whole life ahead of you. Start looking for someone else," Huria straightened up and faced her friend.

"I am married, you know that."

"That’s not marriage that’s imprisonment and torture. And I will be damned if I don’t help you get rid of him." frёewebnoѵēl.com

"How Huria? I tried to and look where it led me?" she pointed to her bruised body and puffed out air.

"You are not alone now Skyla. You have someone very powerful behind you. I am sure if you talk to him, he will be more than happy to help you." Huria pointed out, keeping in mind what promise she had made to Zyair.

Skyla’s eyes widened at her words.

"What do you mean? Whom are you talking about?" Skyla feigned innocence.

"Don’t be like that Skyla, you know perfectly well whom I am talking about. Haven’t you understood by now how much that man cares about you? Have you never wondered why?"

Huria placed her hand on Skyla’s shoulder, with concern swimming deep in her eyes. Skyla squirmed uncontrollably. Every time she thought about him, she would have her heart racing and dirty thoughts would fill up her brain. Who wouldn’t want such artistic hands touching them, as one would writhe in pleasures his majestic body could provide?

Forbidden pleasures.

Wistful desires.

Each moment she touched herself in the last three months, automatically her brain was filled with him.

"I can’t go down that road with him. He doesn’t even like women let alone touch them. Besides, even if I get a divorce from Doran and he let me go, why would someone powerful like Zyair want someone like me? Divorced, broken and used. There is nothing between us Huria so stop being delusional."

"Right, says the girl who hasn’t stopped clutching the teddy bear he brought for her two days ago. Who wears the pin he gifted her every single day. Wake up Skyla, and start embracing whatever you are feeling. It’s alright to want love, you deserve it. Not what Doran is giving you but what Zyair can."

Huria placed her hand on her friend’s other cheek.

"You have completely lost it Huria. This is not some fantasy anime, it’s the real world. Mr Zyair is a kind man, let’s not take his kindness in another sense. Besides, I think I am done with men in this lifetime," she replied with finality putting an end to their discussion.

Huria only sighed and started brushing her hair with her fingers, she had no plans to let go of it though. She will keep having this conversation with her but slowly and slowly giving her time to come to terms with it.

Skyla’s phone pinged and she grabbed it from the side table to check who could it be texting her so late.

***

Zyair had laid down in his bed but sleep was nowhere to be found. He missed seeing Skyla every day at the office, and although he still went to meet her two times a day it wasn’t enough. He had told her she needn’t worry about the office but not having her there was taking a toll on him.

In the lonely caresses of the nights, his mind mostly travelled to his troubled past.

The violation he had suffered at the hands of so many people still deeply affected him. Every time someone forced themselves on him, made him perform lewd acts, filmed him, snipped away pieces of his soul which he knew he would never get back.

He closed his eyes and a certain incident began to play in his mind.

"Crawl on your all fours and suck my dick, lover boy," drawled the man standing naked in front of him with his limp organ in his hand. The evil smile on his face and that fiendish look in his eyes told Zyair he would hurt him if he didn’t obey.

The cameraman was ready to film him and the video would be uploaded on a popular porn site where people paid premium money to watch paedophilia.

He was only ten years old, he should be going to school, running around with friends, playing small pranks and laughing. And yet he didn’t do any of that.

Instead, he was kept in a small room with no windows and chained to the wall when they weren’t using him to make such videos or busy violating his body, over and over.

His troubled eyes opened and his heart was running a million a mile, he sat up straight and began to rub his face with his hands. The cool air of the air conditioner did nothing to calm him.

This was just one incident and he had memories of thousands of them. He knew sleep would not be his friend even today.

He turned to his nightstand and picked up his phone. Clicking the gallery he opened her picture and began to stare at her. The only person in his years of that dark period of life who understood his pain and helped him. Her and that pendant giver.

He traced his fingers on her smiling face and watched her with tantalising emotions swirling in his blue oceans.

"You will be free too, I promise. Very soon." Zyair had investigated the so-called kidnapping incident but they didn’t find any evidence of it. The couple who had found her was also gone by the time he got to the hospital so there was no way to pinpoint the location from where they had picked her up.

In his heart, he knew this was somehow done by Doran but he had no proof and she wouldn’t talk to him about it. Zyair had no intentions of pushing her while in such a fragile state. He would try asking her again once she was properly healed.

He had just been at her place two hours ago, watching her eat the ice cream he had taken along and yet his heart yearned for more.

Clicking on the message box he opened it. He thought for a while before typing a text and sending it to her. He knew Doran was not around so he could text her without fear.

[Miss Skyla? Are you awake?]

And then waited with a perturbed heart. He didn’t have to wait much longer as her reply was instant and it seeped into his heart brimming it with warmth.

[I am, Cuddles and Huria are keeping me company.]

She had named the teddy bear.

Cuddles!!!
