MARRIED.

Dahalia's POV.

"Thank you." I appreciated the stranger, and he gave a smile, about to move forward when I caught his hand.

"What is your name?" I found myself asking and he turned to face me.

"Grim Walker." He responded, and I couldn't help but stare at his hot body in front of me.

His red hair was plaited with golden piercings in his ears, and his golden eyes reflected through the sunlight.

I have never seen him before and he also didn't seem to be around from here. 

"I have to go now. Catch you later." He winked at me before dashing off. 

'He must have been in a hurry.' I thought as I stood there watching him for a while, my heart actually racing.

'He didn't even ask for my name though.' I pouted and just then, the bell rang, signifying the end of today's classes.

Fuck! I missed all of them, thanks to Nathan and this mysterious guy. I made my way over to my car to drive home and when I got back home, I met my mum and Dad chatting in the living room.

I wasn't able to see them for weeks because they suddenly traveled on the night of Jasper's birthday and they just returned.

"I see you have finally decided to move back in with your family." My mum commented with a smile as soon as I walked in.

"Mummy, daddy." I jeered, running to jump on both of them as we all burst into laughter. They both pecked me on the cheeks simultaneously as I hugged them tightly.

"I have missed you guys so much." I moaned and Mum spanked my ass while Daddy pulled my cheeks.

"We have missed you too." He said, then I grabbed the plate of cake lying on his lap and began devouring it.

"How was your trip? You both said you wanted to see me and vanished." I pointed out, and the smiles disappeared from their faces as they both exchanged a look.

"What is it?" I asked, feeling suspicious that it wasn't something good I was gonna hear.

"Dahalia dear, this might come sudden to you." My mother began, standing up to come sit beside me on the sofa, her arms wrapped around me.

I furrowed my eyebrows at Dad, who began to bite his fingers, a habit he only does when he is nervous or troubled.

"Did someone die?" I asked and they all turned to glare at me simultaneously. 

I shivered.

What was with these couples and doing things together?

"That's an awful thing to say Dahalia." Mum scolded, and Dad nodded in agreement, while I just rolled my eyes.

"Then what, don't beat around the bush." I half-yelled, and Mum slapped my back gently.

"Don't be spoiled and be patient for your parents to talk." Dad pointed a finger at me and I let out a groan.

"But I am tired from school and hectic classes," I grumbled, yawning and feigning tiredness even though I basically did nothing today except make out with a hot guy and bump into another hot guy.

"Sorry love. The thing is you are getting married." Mum whispered and I stopped acting, startled.

I turned to look at both of them and burst into serious laughter, holding my stomach.

"Very funny." I giggled, but noticed they weren't laughing; they all looked as serious as hell and my heart skipped a beat.

'Could they not be Joking?' I pondered as Dad scratched his hair.

"You are kidding. You both have to be." I shrugged out of my mum's embrace, grabbed my bag, and ran upstairs, ignoring their calls.

This had to be a dream or they had to be lying, because why on earth would I get married?

At this age? I was barely even 20.

I opened the door to my bedroom but then trembled as I locked the door behind me because I turned to see Nathan climbing in through my window. 

'When did he get here? Did he trail me from school?' I pondered, though I was glad I wasn't alone.

"Were your parents pulling a prank?" He asked as he jumped onto my bed but I didn't answer him and just tossed the bag to the chair behind me before going to sit on the bed next to him.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling they are serious," I replied, and he shook his head sideways, his jaw tightening.

I turned his face and kissed him. I needed him at the moment. He pushed me backwards a bit.

"Didn't you say you would reject me and we should stay away from one another?" He questioned, and I bit my lower lip hard.

"But surprisingly you are still here after I said all that?" I questioned and he looked away.

"Besides I need you." I turned his face again, pleading with my eyes and he let out a sigh.

"Let's try something different then." He said and got up. 

All I could feel was my pulse as he moved his hands to his t-shirt and took it off, exposing his chest and enormous six-packs that I could never get tired of staring at.

I felt saliva gathering in my mouth and gulped it down, unable to take my eyes away. 

"Lie down on the bed," Nathan commanded and I could feel excitement brewing in me as I did as asked.

He got on top of me on the bed when a knock sounded on the door. I stiffened, my heart pounding heavily against my chest.

"What?" I growled.

"Young miss, your parents want you downstairs." One of the maids answered and I struggled not to roll my eyes, especially when Nathan got off me.

He put his t-shirt back on and went to sit on the sofa opposite me. I jumped next to him with a furrowed brow.

"You should go." He whispered, and I felt my heart tighten in pain.

Why was he dismissing me?

"Look at me, Nathan." I ordered and he did, then I kissed him. He reciprocated and I heard the sound of a clap. 

Shivers ran down my spine as I turned towards my window to see the hot guy who saved me from Jeremy.

My eyes widened as my jaw dropped.

What was he doing here?

"I decided to check on my bride-to-be, wondering what could be keeping her. Turns out it was my enemy and greatest rival." He drawled and it was like the earth shook.

Wait! What?
