Third Person's Pov.

After the meeting, Arthur decided to leave early so as to settle some issues at his home.

Caroline made a decision to at least settle for one of Arthur's proposals, so she went of to his house after finishing a bottle of vodka.

The door was unlocked left in the state of slightly ajar. She pushed the gate with a force and stumbled forward.

She managed not to fall face first by clutching the doorknob tightly with her hands.

The noise going on in the room halted all curious faces to look at the intruder.

Caroline looked around and found herself to be the centre of attraction under the scrutiny of four pair of eyes solely focused on her,one among them belonged to, Arthur.

Arthur looked at her while sitting on the sofa. She was a mess, her steps wobbly and uncoordinated, eyes red and puffy.

She looked the very epitome of innocence, but afool he was not.,"Excuse me gentlemen,we shall continue,this tomorrow in my office."He said to the company he had in the room.

Everyone did as told as they were well aware of his demon self when ignored.

He was aggressive and demanding so it wasn't new to his employees. They silently obliged to his command.

Caroline stood awkward at the door still clutching the knob,her heart racing with anticipation.

Although a bit tipsy but she was well aware of his intense gaze on her,her hands sweated profusely.

As the other people made their way out leaving her alone with him, unconsciously she took a few steps back.

"Ahh,you are here."He said placing his booted clad toes on the table standing,near the sofa.,"Y.yes"she slurred,her throat seemed parched.

Arthur pbserved her, her hair pinned up high in a ponytail, body drowned in the sexy nude colour which finished up to her knees,thus exposing her milky white long legs to his view ,heat spread through his entire system wanting to take her then and there.

His member stirred against his trousers ,excited to ravish the beauty who stood at his door.,"Why are you still standing there? Come andt ake a seat next to me.The night has just started love."

A ripple of anxiety passed through her body starting from her neck down till her toes listening to the intensity of his voice.

His words spoke volumes, taking a few wobbly steps Caroline covered the distance between them,"Why are you still standing,we have a long way to go."He said patting the seat next to him as she still stood at the edge of the table.

Chanting 'for my family' several times in her mind, Caroline took the seat beside him She noticed a bottle of alcohol standing proud on the table.

The seats were fluffy and the upholstery was to cry for, her eyes roamed around the living area,she noticed everything was sophisticated.

Caroline jumped in her seat when she sensed, Arthur's hand caressing her thighs, her legs exposed as the dress had got ridden up.

The fear she had buried deep down inside resurfaced. Maybe coming here was a bad idea after all she thought.

She fisted her hand and closed her eyes,her soul crying loud inside. Not able to bear anymore,she took hold of the alcohol kept on the table and started gulping it down in one go.

"Stop it!! You are already drunk." He said,his voice lacing with anger but Caroline was not listening, she couldn't stop herself.

She wanted to feel numb, no pain,no remorse, only her soul flying in the sky with her arms,opened embracing the wind,nobody present to crush her anymore, only her soul alone.

Arthur gritted his teeth, his jaw clenched,

He could tell that this was all her act to getaway from him.

She would pretend to be totally drunk and then easily get away from the situation, having had enough of hertantrums, he snatched the bottle from her grip.

Placing it on the side table he moved closer to her,he could feel her anxiety.

Ignoring her quivering state, he bent down towards her, Caroline saw him closing the gap between them, her eyes widened, but before he could kiss her, she stood up abruptly creating a handful of distance in between.

"What's all this, Cara?" Arthur growled annoyed his fingers raking through his hair mercilessly.

"I can't. Please understand." Caroline stuttered her feet unbalanced,head paining like hell ,she wasn't able to even support herself,upright.

"Oh,please it thought we have already passed over that discussion. Not again."Arthur said grumpily.

He couldn't believe her, after dressing up likea sexy kitten and increasing his libido, she was retracting.

He needed a strong drink and that too soon.He drank from the same bottle she had used which was still dangling in his hand.

Caroline tried to maintain herself but even standing on her feet seemed trouble.

Her head ached,her vision blurry and shaky, She couldn't hold herself up without stumbling.

"Arthur.."She whispered and fell on the floor,clutching her head.

Thud.

Arthur knew it was all her plan to get away before. He waited for her to get up and end all her drama cause he sure wasn't going to take advantage of her while she's drunk

Drinking from the bottle whilesitting on the couch,he waited for her drama to get over. She would avail herself of every opportunity presented before her,he knew.

Almost ten minuts passed by, Caroline still lay unconscious on the floor, worry began to seep in his blood, maybe she wasn't acting after all, he thought.

As much as he hated her, he didn't want her dead yet.

He scurried towards her frail,weak body lying on the floor,her heartbeat slow and steady, of course she was deep in slumber.

He snaked his arms under her, he carried her into his bedroom.

He noticed from the beginning that her body seemed thin,eyes sunken,the glow her face once had was vanished,her face almost pale.

He came back into the bedroom, thinking she mustbe uncomfortable and feel suffocated in her body clutching nude coloured dress he decided to free her from it.

Leaving her only in her black lingerie,he stood at the end of the bed and simply watched her sleep.She was beautiful,her milky white complexion, big doe like blue eyes, long eye lashes,rosy red lips everything.

She wasn't a big fan of makeup,he knew.When they were on dates he had never seen her face caked in it,he remembered her complaining how it,overlapped the natural beauty of her skin.

Tomorrow she would definitely regret drinking he thought. Leaving her asleep hewent out of the room.
