How We Met

POV: Felix 

She is so stubborn...

She never seemed to get tired of putting up a fight. All the time, she kicked and thrashed about until she got tired and finally gave up trying to break free. Her struggles remind me of the fire I saw in her eyes the day we met. It’s the same fire that drives my desire to have her. That night had been magical.

It was a snowy night, and I was attending a banquet to showcase the newest designs of jewelry from my company. As a Jewelry designer, Selina Nash attended a banquet at the invitation of her friend Simon Wilson, with the purpose of observing and learning from the jewelry designs of high society ladies, so to speak.

For some weird reason Selina, who is supposed to be paying attention seems uninterested in the topics of conversation. As fate would have it, she chose to go outside to build a snowman for her amusement. I was in my private room when I spotted this vixen, playing around in the snow and giggling happily. I envied her, I would give anything to be so happy and carefree. I loved and hated her free spirit.

From within the darkened room, I watched her through the window and took a special interest in her. Then I instructed my PA  John, to investigate Selina's personal background. “I want to know everything there is to know about her.” I instructed him firmly while I gazed at her longingly. 

He took one look at her and turned to stare back at me in silence. He could tell that I was smitten by her, I guess it’s a feeling I cannot hide even if I wanted to. Everyone knows I don’t take no for an answer, I’m a go-getter. I always get what I want, and this will not be an exception.

I heard the door shut, and I knew John had gone to carry out my instructions. I could not move away from that window, not when I was staring at the most beautiful woman that had ever walked this earth. I stayed glued to that window, watching her have fun all by herself. 

A warm smile spread across my face as I watched her act like a kid in the snow. She is so beautiful and she tends to give it her all when she sets her mind to a task. I noticed she took her time to build her snowman and it turned out beautifully. I imagined this same scenery but in a different location. This time I’ll be standing right by her side as we both build a snowman together. We’ll probably have some kids running around, gathering the snow, and making it more fun. That would be a perfect picture, one that I would cherish forever. 

I kept watching with a smile plastered on my face, and just as I began to create a mental picture of a perfect family, a guy walked out from the banquet hall and hugged her from behind, making her giggle excitedly. The smile on my face disappeared immediately and I folded my knuckles and scrunched up my face in anger,

“Who dares to touch my woman?” I thought within me as she played with him in the snow. They seem to enjoy each other's company and that made me so fucking furious. I know that idiot, his name is Simon Wilson. His family held a prominent position in my company and they are well-known domestically. He has an arranged fiancée through his family. They are engaged to be married soon and everyone knows about it. Why would she be fooling around with someone’s fiancé, is she not aware of their engagement?

I was fuming in rage as I saw them having fun together. My eyes did not leave their sides for even one second. I focused my gaze on them, glaring at Simon and wishing to punch his face and break the hands he had used to hold her. I want her all to myself, if only I could cut off her ties to everyone else and keep her all to myself. 

My searing gaze could be felt by Simon, I could tell from my position that Simon sensed that someone was watching him and Selina from the darkness. He looked towards the building, looking up to my office where I stood by the window unmoving. I did not flinch at his gaze, I needed him to see me looking his way, I needed to arouse fear within him. By now he should know that no one dares to cross my path.

I knew the moment that he realized that the unlit room belonged to me. The fear in his eyes was evident, but he tried so hard to hide it from her. Even though he was aware of my identity, he opted not to reveal this to Selina and instead escorted her back to the banquet hall, hiding the fact that he was scared of my anger. 

But, she is smart…

She is so smart and observant. He tried to hide it, but she caught him staring that way and she must have felt my gaze too. Her curiosity was piqued, she wanted to know what was going on and she kept asking him several questions he led her back to the banquet hall.

Just before she entered the door leading to the banquet hall, she stopped for a few seconds and she looked up in my direction, spotting my figure in the dark. She had no idea what that simple act of hers did to my body. I felt a strong desire to hold her in my arms and kiss her until her lips bruised. It was at that very moment that I knew that I would do anything to have her by my side. 

I won’t take no for an answer and I certainly won’t let anyone stand in my way. I want her and I’m going to get her. She will be mine, I’ll make sure of that. I decided to take steps to ensure that she would stay by my side. The first step is to go down there and make sure no other man gets anywhere near her. To think that I never even wanted to be here. Now my excitement is unmatched and I’m beginning to fantasize about her already.

When I arrived at the banquet, I made my way through the crowded hall, acknowledging the greetings of my subordinates and partners. I saw Simon and that is why I decided to head this way and make know that I am a rare of his hidden feelings for Selina. She may be naïve and carefree, but I can see the way he looks at her when she is not looking and that is very annoying. I stopped when I got to where he was standing and I gave him a look that said, 

“Don’t fucking dare me!” 

He looked nervous and he tried to walk away. But I blocked the path with my shoulder and forced him to stand before me and shiver like a chicken as I glared dangerously at him, 

“The next time you lay your hands on Selina would be your last. I’ll fucking cut them off!” I told fiercely, threatening him. He wanted to respond, but she walked over and stood between us, looking like an angel.

“What's going on here?” she asked innocently, looking a bit puzzled. I was not listening to her or anyone else, I was lost in those eyes. There is a fire within her orbs, and I got sucked into it.
