Undefiled Queen

Stephen’s POV

I was making an arms agreement with the Russian delegates. Yes, I am a part of the mafia though I am not a leader of any gang.

I went to one of the bars that I own in the city. The Russians were already waiting for me. One of the waitresses at the club served us our drinks.

Half an hour later I was very happy. I cracked an arms deal of one billion dollars with the Russians. The ship would be arriving at the Miami harbor in a week.

Stephen was in the euphoria of celebration. What he did not see was Max was sitting on the table just behind him. He was burning with fury with the ridiculous game played by the former.

Stephen got the breaks of his car to fail, booked him into a hit and run case and got him locked behind the bars. It was his fortune that the cop was his friend, managed certain records and got him released for a few days under bail.

Stephen was sailing close to the wind. Max wasn’t a man to be meddled with and now he would breathe only revenge every moment he is out of bail against Stephen.

Max signaled something with his eyes to one of the waitresses in the bar and she nodded.

She had tricked the manager by sending him out for five minutes and all the CCTV cameras were shut off.

Max had smartly added some white powder in the sachet to the drink and instructed the waitress to offer it to Stephen.

After five minutes the manager was back to his place and everything was as normal as it was in the club.

Stephen took the drink off and on during the process of the deal and even after closing it. Somehow his legs went locked to the floor. He wanted to enjoy more time in the club.

There was a change in his thoughts. Something new was going on within him and he was enjoying every moment of it.

Unknowingly he was smiling to himself and Max who was all the time watching him was also having fun. He winked to the waitress in a victorious smile.

If the deal of Stephen was worth billions, that evening hidden under the shadows of red and green neon lights of the club, though not exactly in money, Max too cracked a deal.

Stephen kept drinking without a control and he felt like he was floating on the clouds. He was smiling to himself and the feeling was amazing.

The phone in his pants pockets started ringing, he took it out and saw his wife’s number flashing on the screen. A smile automatically traced on his lips. “Hi baby, I am having a lot of fun here. I know you will keep waiting for me at the dinner table. I will be home in another ten minutes. Okay?”

Stephen spoke everything without connecting the call and the phone kept ringing. “Why do you keep ringing in my ears, when I am talking?” He scolded the phone and switched it off.

Max, who was watching him alertly sitting on the table behind him, was having the entertainment of the decade. His laugh wouldn’t stop, enjoying the stupidity and drunkenness of Stephen.

When Max was completely sure about the state of Stephen he gestured to the waitress to walk to the latter’s table.

The brunette came and swayed her hips before him. Stephen liked whatever he was seeing. He smacked her round ass and pulled her to his lap. Shortly they were too engrossed with each other and started kissing.

Max was always prompt to take the snaps at the best time.

“Merlyn, why do I feel your lips are different?” Stephen asked and kissed the girl again.

The girl only giggled. “Are we going to sit here all the time or will you take me to the room?” She asked him seductively, playing with the collar of his shirt.

“Sure honey, did I ever deny you anything. You are my love, my childhood sweetheart and my life.” Stephen kissed her again but he always found something different with his Merlyn today. He knew every inch and every curve of her body. Tonight, when he held her in his arms, he felt his wife was much different from earlier.

Nevertheless he had never denied her anything till today. Stephen wobbled with his hand on the shoulder of his Merlyn while singing ‘Love of my life’ by Jennifer Lopez.

The waitress kept the door of her room unlocked for Max to enter and soon both of them were naked, started kissing each other.

Max took the photos of the couple at the best angles. After all, his photography profession should be helpful to him in some way or the other.

Once he had finished his task, he sent all the photos to Merlyn and called her.

Merlyn was waiting for Stephen to arrive home, though her eyes were dropping off with sleep. It is their habit to sit together and dine during dinner.

When her phone started ringing, she enthusiastically walked to pick it from the center table but when she saw an unknown number, she decided to ignore the call.

Nonetheless, her phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Tired of its rings, she ultimately decides to pick it and hears Max’s voice.

She did not believe in what he had to say. But he wouldn’t stop in convincing her that her husband is with another woman.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

When she denied him, he literally dragged her into his car, blinding the security and took her to the club where Stephen was spending the night with another woman.

Merlyn’s feet shook with abhorrence, her eyes teared up with pain and hands turned to fists at the sight in front of her. She did not know she was capable of such anger. At that moment she felt nothing but to kill Stephen with her bare hands. She decided she would divorce him at the earliest. Merlyn could bear with anything but not infidelity.

Little did she know Stephen was drugged. He was having sex with another woman but in his thoughts it was always his wife with whom he would make love. He cannot think of having sex with any other woman but Merlyn. She is the only for him, his beloved little wife.

On the other hand, Merlyn initially denied all the allegations put on her husband by Max. But when she saw everything with her own eyes, how can she not believe Max?

Two days later Merlyn handed divorce papers to Stephen soon after he was back home from work. Stephen was clueless why his wife was behaving weirdly.

For the last two days she was moody and behaved like he was nobody to her. Stephen was not liking Merlyn’s reticence towards him. He wanted back his loving little wife who would light his world with her innocent giggles as soon as he came back home.

He had gone to a jewelry store and bought her a diamond necklace. When he was making arrangements to please her, to win her back, Merlyn handed him the divorce papers.

When Stephen asked her for reasons she handed him the photos, a proof of his deceitfulness towards her.

Stephen knew he went to the club to make an underworld deal but afterwards he did not remember anything.

The next morning when he opened his eyes, he was sleeping alone in one of the rooms of the club. He thought he probably drank too much and the staff had helped him to the room. But he did not know somebody had played a cruel game with him by drugging him and destroying his happy marriage.

Through Merlyn’s words, he understood the culprit was none other than Max, he tried to plead his innocence to her and that his drink was spiked. But Merlyn wouldn’t listen. “How many times can you fool me with your super smart excuses, Stephen?” She snarled on his face.

“The last time I got such a type of photograph, you called the girl your ex-girlfriend. But now I have seen everything with my own eyes and you say your drink was spiked. How many stories will you knit, Stephen? I congratulate you for your instant made-up stories. If not for the help Max did to me, you would have continued blinding my eyes and sleeping around.”

“Max…your friend.. My foot. He is finding ways to separate us and get you back with him. And you believe him instead of me?” Stephen asked Merlyn, completely disappointed.

When Merlyn turned a deaf ear to his pleading innocence Stephen went to the last resort. He told her they cannot have a divorce since the marriage was a contract marriage. Merlyn was completely taken aback at the sudden revelation and she began to hate Stephen all the more for his deceit upon her in taking her signatures on the wrong documents.

Though she couldn’t file a divorce, she could opt for separation from Stephen and she did exactly that.
