chapter 9

I hugged Silver and she and Aaron sat in the car. Alex turned to me with a teasing smile and said

“Brother, If you are going to see my sister in law, she's in her class they have presentations today”

His mischievous smile vanishes against my glare. He hurriedly went and sat in the car, three cars of guards followed them and I turn to go on my mission

‘Finding my sunshine”

I wore a mask and sunglasses and told guards to stop outside near the parking area. We have personal guards for Silver and Alex but they watch them from a distance, not interfering until it's an emergency.

I went towards her class. She was standing there with her friends and other classmates.

I came near them standing behind a pillar. She was standing there laughing, her hairs fell on her face and she tucked them behind her ears. Her eyes become small when she's laughing, her pink cheeks will cause the death of me.

Shut up Aiden Volkov.

Patience you have to make her yours but with her consent.

My eyes are only gazing at her direction, some boys are talking to her but she replies politely. I think they are her classmates.

"Congratulations Elsa, you did a great presentation. Sir was very impress" a boy said to her and she said thankyou in slow voice.

"Obviously she did a great job, she's a topper at the end," her friend said and she looked at her to stop her.

Ok so my would-be-wife doesn't like when someone praises her. But I like to praise every inch of her presence in my life.

"Come on guys, we are getting late for the cafe," her friend said, who occasionally picked her up in the morning. And they four left, by their vehicles.

Elsa's pov

Today was my presentation and I'm Hella nervous. I prepared everything but I'm getting nervous. I don't know why I have this unsettling feeling in my gut that something is not right around me. Like I'm grateful to God that those boys are not anymore standing on my path. But my feelings gave me red signals that something will happen in the coming days which was doubtful.

And cherry on top my overthinking gives it a hundred percent more acceleration. But I have to compose all these feelings and insecurities as I have to look presentable.

About my personal life it's a little messy or I say I am used to it now. Ryder and Hanna both make my life hell. They both didn't leave a chance to taunt me, hurt me or threaten me. Two days back Hanna hit me so hard that I'm not able to sleep the whole night because of my aching body. They really are not my family. But just some more time after that I will run from here.

June and Nike both call me daily and invite me there but I am so busy I can't afford to take a day off from work. And my major issue was the threat from Ryder that if I went there I am not allowed here anymore.

After my parents death everything changed. We no longer behave like family, we are known or more haters. They hate me but I know I'm at fault. It's all my fault..everything…

Call me mad or whatever but this is the truth. Everyone tried to tell me that it was not my fault but it is. And it's painful like hell and I'm living in a living hell.

In all this chaos my best friends are my big supporters. They cherish me. They are the reason for my laughing and the best part is when we are together. In that little bit of time I forget that I have problems to face. I have a messy life. It seems sorted. And about Zian he daily tried to talk to me but I gave him one liner answers. I don't want him to sense my feelings for him. I can't afford to push him in the dark with me. I can't do it at any cost.

Today I woke up at my usual time only to get 2 hours of sleep. It's more than enough for me. I got up and did my morning routine and then did all the house chores and then went to get ready for my presentation. I took my tote bag, my laptop and phone and most importantly my lunch box. Even though I have two days off from work, we planned to go outside for lunch and a movie date after college.

Zian was standing near the parking lot where we all usually meet in the morning. He was standing there waiting for someone for me. Sam, Lily and Ron standing near him. I went there and they three gave me a bright smile and I tried to read their expression of what is happening here.
