Episode 9 || Knights Never Cease To Amaze

[MATURE SCENE AHEAD]

“This is just a rumour!! Not a confirmed news.” Riya said in a high pitch and Mishka left out a chuckle.

“Rumour? Type about me and Chris and check out the next news,” She said and Riya turned the laptop in her direction typing Mishka’s name but there was nothing. In fact, news about Christian was also limited.

Riya furrowed her eyebrows and typed different keywords, but still, nothing came. No news about their marriage, no news about the fashion show, no news about the car accident they suffered, no news about the modelling for Star Magazine, no news about the chemical factory incident. The last eight years of Christian and Mishka’s life were completely erased from the internet, including their famous hashtag CHRISHKA.

“They have wiped out my existence and here I was trying my best to hide myself!” Mishka smiled, wiping tears from her eyes. “Knights never cease to amaze me,”

Riya felt this weird, too. “Why are you crying? It’s not like you were planning to go back, so what’s wrong if he is moving on? Why are you so hurt?” She questioned.

Mishka chuckled, “Who said I am hurt? I don’t care if he dates Lia, sleeps with another woman, or marries any Andrea Donovan. I just…. I can’t believe I couldn’t recognize his true colours. He is such a big-time player, and I was thinking he is my soulmate.” Mishka said, her voice full of hatred.

Riya rubbed her arm. “It’s going to be fine, Mish?”

“All my life, I kept asking myself, Why me? Why always me? What is so special in me that God keeps throwing rocks to block my way and make my journey so hard? But I guess I won’t ever get an answer.” She further added and Riya looked at her wordlessly.

“Anyway, Let’s go home, kids are coming back tomorrow and I have to meet your boss before that. Already wasted enough time on this useless news.” She glanced at Christian’s picture for one last time, before closing her laptop, and then they walked out of the office.

Danny stopped his car right outside his house. “I know I did wrong. It was our big day and I should’ve focused on Maya, or at least should’ve told her about my plan. It’s genuine to get mad.” He thought and stepped out of the driver’s seat, holding a gigantic bouquet of red flowers in his hand. He took a deep breath and braced himself to face Maya’s wrath, “I hope she is in a fine mood to listen to me for once.”

He rang the doorbell and waited, but nobody opened the door. He ringed again a few seconds later but no response. “Where are the servants?” He wondered and banged on the door, only to find it open. Danny knitted his eyebrows while slowly opening the door, and he was in complete awe looking at the setup inside the house.

The house was perfectly given a perfect romantic ambience with flowers, aromatic candles, and dim lights. Danny walked further in, keeping the bouquet on the side table, and stood under the beautiful chandelier that was emanating beautiful golden lights, and soon a pair of two hands wrapped around his torso.

“You took so long to come back,” Maya complained as she hugged him from behind and a smirk made his way to Danny’s lips. He turned around and his eyes swept over from top to bottom and the view only widened his smirk.

Maya was wearing a skimpy red cocktail dress, and she looked at him with a seductive smile. “Someone is looking gorgeous today,” He said kissing the back of Maya’s hand and she blushed. “You did all this?”

“Yeah, I finally understood that expecting you to propose to me in a unique way is useless,” She commented and Danny pouted, “I set up everything, and now propose to me again.” She extended her left hand in his direction, and Danny furrowed his brows. “Where is your ring?”

“Ummm… Maybe in your left pocket?” She said, sounding doubtful, and Danny checked while maintaining his stare at her, and he found the ring. “Fuck! How did this reach my pocket?”

“Don’t waste time, propose to me or I’ll change my mind!” She said, and Danny was about to slip the ring again, but she retrieved her hand back. “Who will go on knees?” She narrowed her eyes.

“Yeah, right,” He muttered and slipped down on his one knee, holding out the ring in her direction. “Will you marry me, my princess?” He said with an enchanting smile on his face.

“Hmm… Let me think!” Maya said and started walking around him slowly. “Do you promise you will always love me?”

“Yes”

“Do you promise that I’ll always be your first priority?” Maya asked, taking another round.

“Yes”

“Do you promise to take me on a world tour?” She asked, testing his patience.

“Yess,”

“Do you promise that you’ll never look at any other girl?” She asked while taking the fourth round slowly.

“Yessss! For god’s sake, Maya, my knee is hurting now!!”

“I don’t care! Do you promise you will always….” Before she could continue, Danny stood up abruptly and pinned her on the couch behind her, taking her lips in a long passionate kiss while Maya held his shoulder for support.

The more she tries to break the kiss, moving her face away, the more Danny keeps her in place with his mouth attached to her and after a few struggles, she let him have his way with her. Danny trailed kisses down her neck while his hand skilfully goes behind her and pushed the zipper of her dress down and she broke the kiss.

“Danny Taylor, you were supposed to propose to me?” She said in a husky voice, her lips inches away from his and her chest was heaving up and down.

“You are already proposed, sweetheart,” He said, biting her lower lips while Maya’s eyes snapped to her hand and she found the dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger. She slightly pushed Danny back, and sat on the couch with his body hovering over her, “How does this reach my finger?” She asked.

“Just the same way the ring reached my pocket!! You were expecting to be proposed in a unique way so isn’t it unique that you’ve already accepted my proposal and you don’t know about it,” He said and Maya glared at him.

“What kind of proposal is this?” She pouted while Danny claimed her lips again, cupping her breast in his hand.

“Danny,” She gasped as he ran the pad of his thumb over her nipples. He suddenly pulled the strap of her lacy black bra down and Maya covered herself.

“I’ve installed cameras to record our proposal,” She said while panting heavily.

“That’s amazing! You can see tomorrow when I slid the ring. Now let me love you,” He said, kissing the nape of her shoulder, but she pushed him again.

“Maya!” Danny groaned, glaring at her.

“It will record our intimate moments, Danny!!!” She snapped and in return earned an evil smirk from him.

“That’s even more amazing. We will have a nice show tomorrow!” He said and before she could anticipate his next action, Danny slid down the cup of her lacy bra and his mouth was on her right nipple while his fingers plucked the other one.

“Do you have any idea how stressed I was since the morning because of you?” He muttered in a low growl in between sucking her breast.

“So what am I? Your stress buster?” She asked, and he looked up at her with his lust hooded eyes.

“What do you think?” He asked in a husky voice and the tips of his tongue teased her excited nipple, but suddenly he moved away and disappointment laced Maya’s features.

“Looks like junior Danny isn’t in a mood right now,” He said, stretching out his arms and Maya could see the tent in his pant.

“You can’t be serious.” She looked at him while Danny plopped down on the couch next to her. “Maybe you could do something to encourage him. Convince him!!” Danny said, and before he could complete, he watched Maya sliding out of the skimpy dress and black lacy thongs, going bare in front of him. She sat on his lap in the strangling position and licked her lips before kissing him while grinding herself on his crotch.

She slowly opened the buttons of his black shirt, tugging out the panel of the shirt from his Jeans while Danny unclasped her bra, kissing down the valley of her breast.

Maya reached her hand out, holding the buckle of his jeans. She slipped down from his lap onto the carpet while looking at him with doe-like eyes and lust-hooded eyes staring back at her with the same intensity.

Maya smirked as Danny quickly unbuckled his belt, zipping down and his hard cock stood out in his all glory, waiting for her mouth to wrap around it. Maya leaned in, taking the tip of his cock in her mouth, and Danny groaned. He pushed himself more into her mouth and her head bobbed back and forth, taking him as much as she could.

“Don’t stop, baby! Just like that,” He whispered, taking a bunch of her hair in a fist, but Maya stopped sucking him and he looked at her in the dim light.

“Do you think junior Danny is ready now?” She asked, blinking her eyes innocently while Danny left an exasperated breath.

“Fuck! Yes. Don’t tease me!” He said and tried to put his cock back in her mouth but she declined and Danny glared at her.

“I don’t think I am in a mood now!! You can rest, junior Danny,” She said while panting and patted his erect shaft before moving away.

“Damn you, vixen!!” He gritted out and before she could escape, Danny pinned her down on the carpet and Maya gave him an amused smile.

“Two can play the same game, baby.” She said, wrapping her hands around his neck, and Danny smirked.

“Two can play, but only one will win,” He said and Maya slightly parted her lips as she felt him sliding into her.

“Condom?” She said but Danny started pounding inside her, claiming her lips again while his hand moved on her chest, and he broke the kiss to look at the horrible marks on her breast under the dim light that reminded him of the physical assault she suffered in the past.

His movement stopped with his cock deep inside her, his eyes travelled back to her face, and he found her staring back at him. “I love you,” She smiled.

“I love you too,” He said claiming her lips again in a long smooch.

Rony was pacing back and forth in the Garden while continuously trying to connect with Daniel, but the latter wasn’t picking up his father’s call or replying to any of his messages. “What happened?” Rony heard Vera questioning him.

“I don’t know what’s up with Daniel. He isn’t picking up my calls and hasn’t come back home in the last two days.” Rony said while dropping him another message.

“What?? Two days?? But yesterday during breakfast, you said he is sleeping. He wasn’t home back then?” Vera asked, and Rony shook his head in no.

“I had a feeling that something is wrong but didn’t feel right to intrude.” She said while Rony pursed his lips in a straight line, taking the support of the pillar behind him.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Daniel. For the last one year, he is behaving as if we are his enemies. His grade is drowning, and he didn’t feel embarrassed about it. He is roaming out in the city with his god damn friends, partying all night.” Rony spat, and Vera listened to him patiently.

“He was the topper till Grade 11 but now I doubt if he will get admission to any reputed college.” He said and just then a high-speeding car slid into the driveway with a loud screeching sound and Vera, Rony, turned to look.

The door of the back seat opened and a boy around the age of seventeen stepped out in a drunken state, waving a hand at his friends, wishing goodnight to them. Soon the car reversed and drove away, but as soon as Daniel turned, two sets of eyes were pinned at him.

With folded hands across his chest, Rony glared at Daniel, “Why you weren’t picking up my calls and where are you lost for the last two days!”

“I was busy with friends. Stop interfering in my life!” He snapped at them and walked past without waiting for them to say anything further.

“I think you should sit and talk to him privately,” Vera suggested while Rony looked at Daniel from behind.

Next Day,

Beautiful sunlight was peeking in through the window, and Mishka groaned in her sleep. Her hand reached out of the duvet and searched for her mobile on the empty side of the bed. She opened one eye to see the time and jumped on the bed.

“Oh, no!!” She left the phone and hopped down from the bed. She quickly picked the outfit from her closet and sprinted toward the bathroom. She looked at the mirror standing against the washbasin, and, as expected, she was looking horrifying.

“Damn you, Christian Knight!! You never fail to bring tears to my eyes.” She slammed her hand on the washbasin. “I have to wear makeup again.”

Twenty minutes later,

“This course is so costly,” Aryan muttered to himself while scrolling down on his mobile screen. “Should I ask Mishka di? But she is already handling so many things, I should not trouble her more. But what’s the harm in discussing with her once? This course will help me later in my career,” He thought when he saw Mishka hurriedly walking down the stairs with her hobo bag in one hand and black heels in the other.

“Easy, di!!” Aryan shouted while she kept her all things on the table and entered the kitchen, only to find the breakfast ready.

“Riya di prepared everything before leaving,” Aryan said.

“Pasta?” Mishka asked, and a surreal smile appeared on Aryan’s face. “Let’s eat quickly, then. I have a very important meeting. I need to rush,” She said while serving pasta on two plates and settled next to him on their old worn-out couch while brushing her damp hair.

They were in the middle of eating when Mishka received a text from Riya, “Meet Nikhil at Café24. Take my car and don’t worry, I’ll be home soon to welcome kids.”

Mishka replied with an okay and quickly finished her breakfast. “When you’ll be back?” Aryan asked.

“I thought I’ll come back in an hour, but the café itself is an hour away. So probably two-three hours.” Mishka replied and took a pause before continuing. “Who sets up a confidential meeting in the café? He is Riya’s boss, that’s why I didn’t object.” She said while wearing black heels and picking up her bag.

“Riya will be back soon. Okay?” She pinched his nose and walked out of the house, taking the car keys.

Christian ended an important meeting with potential clients and was ready to take a break, but as soon as he opened the door of his cabin, his eyes met a familiar face. He looked at her, confused at first, but quickly replaced it with a welcoming smile.
