Undefiled Queen

Chapter 36



Merlyn’s Pov

Stephen parked his car in front of a large mansion.  On top of it was written ‘Collomen House’.  I gaped at the beautiful aura radiated by the eye-catching mansion.

As soon as we entered the large gateway of the house, both sides of the pathway were covered with beautiful flowers of different colors.  Just beside the mansion were varieties of cars lined up one after the other.  I was awestruck at the possible wealth my fiancée’s family had.  Not that I give importance to money, but I understood the house was screaming rich.

Soon after we rang the doorbell of the house, a beautiful lady in her late forties opened the door and smiled at us.  Her face looked quite familiar to me.  After a while when I looked at Stephen, I understood why she looked familiar.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

She embraced me as soon as she caught my looks and gestured to come inside.  Stephen took the opportunity to speak as soon as we led in.  Gesturing me, he introduced the lady in front of me as his mother and I introduced myself to her.  When we were making our sweet talk, a tall well built man almost in his fifties stepped down the stairs and introduced himself as Stephen’s father.  I greeted him and talked for a few minutes.  He spoke to me kindly, and queried about my family and my interests and later excused himself from work.

Stephen sat closer to me, putting an arm over the sofa almost touching my shoulder and spoke casually about several things to his mother.  I wondered whether he was the same intimidating businessman who runs millions worth of businesses every day.

I was moved out of my thoughts when his mother asked me to move towards the dining area to have lunch.

Stephen’s mother was a kind hearted lady.  She spoke to me just like my mother.  I missed my mother all the more when I spoke to her.  As if understanding my inner thoughts, she wiped away my tears running through my eyes which I never noticed and told me to call her as ‘mom’.  I nodded in an affirmative and gave a tight hug to her.  Stephen was just being a silent man smiling lightly in between the talk of me and his mother.

After we had our lunch and had a light talk further, Stephen proceeded to leave, when she tugged me and placed a box of beautiful diamond necklace in my hands.  She told me that it was for the future daughter-in-law of the family and I should wear it on my wedding day.

I could not talk anymore and my eyes started watering.  I am soon to inform my aunt and uncle about Stephen.  I was awestruck gaping at the elegant necklace in my hand.  Stephen brought me closer to him and hugged me and his mother moved to my side running her hands through my thick hair.

I closed my eyes in contentment and let the tears drop, thanking God that if he had taken my mother away, he had brought me another.

Stephen’s POV

I am taking my Flower to my parent’s house.  My mother had been asking me too many questions of late about Merlyn.  I had been so busy with my work that I did not have much time to introduce her to my parents.  But today I planned for everything.  I brought her a baby pink silk gown with blue flowers embroidered on it.  She looks too beautiful in pink as it radiates on her skin colour and I am simply in awe watching her.  I may look like a creep but never mind, I crossed all the borders six months ago itself and saw her naked.  A week ago we were officially engaged and I saw her almost naked except for her undies. We made out except for that stupid phone call which disturbed our love making.

It was the call from John, my private investigator when I was with ‘My Angel’.  With the evidence he collected John was not happy and suspects that Merlyn would soon learn about my involvement in the accident. This time she caught hold of an honest police officer who is heavily bent on finding a clue to expose me.   I am terribly frightened of his conclusion and I asked him to investigate it further.  I hope his information was wrong.  But my sane side was confronting me that John never fails in his work.  He had been a friend of mine and helping in the company’s cases for over a decade.

I almost know if the information John gathered happens to be true, leave about marrying me, Merlyn never would see my face in her life.  From what my experience says, she would never forgive me and my family for what we have done to her.  Since the day I got this information, I am not able to rest in peace.  Out of all the girls in the world, I had to only fall for her.  She drives me crazy.  I know if she leaves me, I would either kill myself or conclude myself in mental asylum.

She was sitting beside me in the car and looked tense.  I took her hand in mine and squeezed it lightly.  She whisked at first but balanced later looking into my eyes.  I gave her an assuring smile and told her to relax.  My parents aren’t that bad ‘My Angel’.

But as fate would have it, as you sow, so you reap. It was my turn to get tense but brushing aside my terrifying thoughts, here I am along with her traveling to my parent’s house.  I have to marry her before she finds out the truth .
