CHRISTIAN—I glared at the man tied in the chair in front of me. I was holding my patience with cotton thread, ready get this fucker unskinned.Exhaling deeply, I looked at my James and signalled him for my last try. He understood immediately and ran outside the room only to come back after a moment with a sharp blade in his hand. I took it from him and moved towards the chair of the traitor. He was bleeding from nose, lips, and had various cuts on his face. I still hadn't touched him, this all is my men's doing. “ Last chance, only for the sake of your loyal four years with me. And then, I'll show you what I do with a traitor. Tell me who else is involved in this?? “ I kept my voice low but dangerous. He was Carden, the man who had worked in my company for around five years and had been loyal to me. So I knew for the fact that there was someone else backing him up. And for the fact, I knew that Lopez doesn't have balls to get inside my walls. It has to be someone close. Someone f
—Jennifer—The audacity of that motherfucker!! I felt I was some object, the way he pointed at me, the way he rejected me. If I had stayed another minute there, I might have ended up killing that bastard. But since I knew that there won't be any books in the Jail, I dropped that plan. It's been three days since our visit to Brown mansion and thank the hell that Matthew hadn't contacted after that. Keeping Christian's dagger-like words aside, I was all happy about the drama that happened there. At Least I don't have to marry some rich motherfucker brat now. So now I do believe that ‘Whatever happens is for the best’After submitting the form of my Master's In Literature in the university, I and Cally headed to the nearest cafe. “ Jeez!! Did you drop your common sense in one of your shitiest books?? “ She asked and regretted Immediately calling my books shitiest as I slapped her head. “ Shut it up!! “ “ Seriously Jenni, Who the hell refuses to marry such a rich, hot man. He's the
—JENNIFER—The next week was spent peacefully with me joining my new college and spending the weekend with Cally and my new college friends. I also completed two more romance novels and most importantly I didn't get to see that rich brat or his annoying father. But as they say, It was calm before the storm. I stared blankly at the entrance of my house where Mathhew Brown was giving instructions to his brought servants to place the gifts in our living room while Mom, Dad and I stared at him in disbelief. “ Yes, Perfect!! I guess. But If you think they are going to get in anyone's way then please tell where else they should keep the gift, Mrs Wingsley. “ Mathhew addressed my mom who was still standing frozen in her place. My Dad cleared his throat before staring deadly at a man who has been a pain in our asses these days. “ What do you think you are doing, Mr. Brown?? “ “ What?? I've brought gifts for my to-be daughter in law. “ He grinned, walking up to the couch of the living are
—Christian—Life couldn't get more disappointing than this. Every plan that I had made for myself is being shattered one by one. First my project that I've been putting my whole life in was stolen, then dad's obsession with my marriage and that too with a girl who I can't even look at without raging. And even If it wasn't enough, Dad's threatening me to kick me out of business, the business that I had built, being on his side for all these years. The fuck I will let it go!! “ I don't care, I need an assurity that you won't back out. ““ Do you want a written statement, Dad??” I was annoyed. “ No, just a tiny tainy engagement. “ He grinned at me as if these were the most normal words. Inhaling deeply, I forced a smile. “ I will do that, just give me some time to get to know her. “ Translation: To make her back out. I can argue with him and I know I can get my way in the business but I'm a little concerned about him since he got into that accident a few weeks ago. Never something
— Christian—My life, my destiny, my plans, everything is betraying me. Never in this time of my existence had anything ever gone this badly opposite of me. And since my fate was on some kind of bet with someone, it's breaking all the records to get worse. I wanted to meet that girl and make her back out of this marriage. But I was so caught up in Dad’s accident video and George Lopez that I couldn't even find a single spare second to meet her. The week flew by in a blink and now I had just one day to convince her. Telling James to postpone all my meetings for today, I drove straight to her house. Now please don't ask how I know where she lives!! Stopping the car in front of her house I scanned its appearance. It doesn't seem to belong to a very rich family but was quite classy. My eyes wandered left to right, only to halt at particular brown long hairs. There she stood on the balcony, playing with a cat. A dazzling smile plastered on her face as she talked with that little thing
— JENNIFER —The car stopped at the entrance of Brown Mansion and I stared outside. Everything was decorated so nicely that I couldn't stop myself from awing. People were walking here and there, taking pictures. Unlike what they had told about the engagement being a private event, I can only see people all around. Even so many guests are still arriving. Between all this crowd, my eyes met with a particular black deep set of eyes which were already staring at me through the window from afar. Christian was talking on his phone, his expressions not pleased at all. An angry scowl was marrying his face and I couldn't understand how the hell does he always manage to look hot. Dressed in a black tuxedo, with his hair nicely settled towards the back, he was looking extraordinarily gorgeous. I didn't know if it's his handsome features or luxurious lifestyle that makes him attractive. But I can't deny the fact that he does look handsome all the fucking time. I tore my gaze away as the door to
—JENNIFER—“ Oh please, You used to spend more than half of the day with me. '' Alex scoffed. “ Because YOU were always swinging on my back, forcefully. “ Christian replied, giving him a pointed look. “ I don't know how I even put up with you for all these years. “ Alex huffed. “ I should be saying this. “ Christian snorted in disbelief. “ Please ignore him. He can be an asshole sometimes.” Alex said, ignoring his best friend's comment and turned back towards me. “ I doubt about ‘sometimes’ “ I mumbled, definitely not for them to hear, but unfortunately they did. “ I can totally agree on that. “ Alex and Anya laughed while Christian glared at me from the side. “ I'm still here.” He grunted. “How unfortunate!! “ I mumbled again. Not caring if they heard and waited for another laugh but the laughter never came as Alex and Anya turned their heads to look at Me and Christian continuously. “ Wow!! I'm loving this.” Finally Alex spoke up and We both frowned. “ Love, what?? “ We
—JENNIFER—I sucked into a sharp breath when he started walking towards me, without breaking eye contact and within a few moments, he was standing in front of me with his hand extended. I stared at him then at his hand, which was waiting for mine to be placed on him. My head was suddenly blank, unable to tell what I should do when I was suddenly pushed towards him gently. I gasped, landing straight into Christian’s arms. He had held me quickly, before I could tumble over my own dress and fall on my face. Regaining my balance, I stepped back a little and turned to find all the eyes fixated on us. Heat creeped to my cheeks at the unwanted attention.I realised that it was Anya who pushed me, seeing me all frozen in my place. I was pulled back from my thoughts when Christian grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the stage. I was unable to meet up with his speed, partly because of the dress and partly because of these bitchy heels. People, who were looking at us lovingly a m
