Author POV"Why are you always like this? You know I cannot fall for her. She's just my slave," he said, trying to act cold but ending up losing his voice. "I got it; that's unlike you. Just accept it already; you are in love with her," the Herald said, smiling."Can you cut the crap? I said I didn't love her. She's my enemy's daughter. I hate her a lot. I can't imagine seeing her face every day; it makes me mad." He said angrily, running his hand through his head. Herald chuckled dryly.",I wish you could see the sweet side of her. I am sure you won't regret this. You know I have choices when it comes to ladies, but this one is different. Everything about her made me wish I was the one to get married to her, then I would have treated her with all the affection in this life. Nathaniel doesn't deserve all this. The sooner you realize, the better for you," Herald advice."Didn't you say you weren't in love with her?" he asked, glaring dangerously at him."You can go to hell all I care;
He moved closer to her with a cold and void expression, his eyes brimming with anger. Her heart pounded in her chest, and she moved back her pace in fright. She bit her lips, regretting why she asked him. He glared at her eyes. He wanted to scare the life out of her, but he found himself admiring her beauty instead. He didn't know what came over him; he wanted to bawl at her, but he couldn't as he slowly lost his voice with some desperation built in him. Then the word revenge pops up in his brain, bringing in some sparkles."Who are you?" He asked, and they were filled with confusion. Why is he asking who she is? "I am Nathaniel," she replied, her voice stripping off her throat. Herald wanted to laugh but couldn't; she never imagined Nathaniel would answer his question, and moreover, a question deserves an answer. He asked a question, and she gave him the right answer."Who told you I am not aware you are Nathaniel? Whenever I ask you who you are, you reply by saying you are my slave.
Nathaniel I looked at the guy sitting right next to me. This is shit; this man is the last person I could think my parents would want to match me with. so boring and ugly. "Sweetie, do you need anything?" he asked, and I felt like hitting him for calling me that. "Did I really need anything? Nope, maybe yes, but not from you," I reply angrily. "You are too full of yourself; I don't know why I don't like girls like you. I am done with this date," he thundered, standing on his feet. I glared at him for a while and burst into laughter. "Sorry, you must be really disappointed. I don't like you either; in fact, you disperse me. You are an ugly. Monkey, would be a better way to describe you, Mr. Date, "I said mockingly and smiled to myself. He took his car key and left angrily. This is really cool. I closed my eyes, remembering what was going to happen. I knew that today wasn't going to be a good day. This is my fourth date, and I messed up again. That man I call father will screw
"Firstly, I will have a 70% share in your business, of which you will have 30%, and we shall sign all necessary documents," I uttered, and the look on his face changes. I will so deal with this man; he killed my father and the people I care about, and now he wants me to help him. Screw him. I took a long look at him, waiting patiently for him to make his decision. But I don't think he's ready to do this. "When you are ready to make a decision, you can tell me; I've got other things to do," I said in a final tone. "Oh, wait, I was just trying to think it over; you know I can't make decisions in haste. But what are your others conditions?" He finally let out. "I don't state my second condition without getting an answer to the first one; you can ask him. I don't do business with people who will bring me bad luck. The decision is yours." I stood to leave. "Okay, wait, please just state the second condition, and I promise to give you a reply on both." He spoke calmly. "Mr. Khalid,
"Do you both know each other?" Mr. Edward asked, and they looked at each other confused. Khalid wanted to speak, but Nathaniel cut him short. "No, this is the first time I am seeing him; dad, how could you forget that you mentioned his name to me yesterday? Maybe because you were angry," Nathaniel said, faking a smile. "Oh, I forget. Sorry, my daughter. So what do you think about my daughter, Mr. Khalid?" Mr. Edward asked, sitting down. Nathaniel also sat down and smiled with the corner of her mouth. Herald noticed this and signalled Khalid. He smirks and replies to Mr. Edward's question. "I must say you have a beautiful daughter, so smart and amazing. "I like her already, but it will be good if we ask her what her decision is," Khalid suggested. "No, my decision is her decision. You don't have to worry; she has agreed. "Mr. Edward tried to convince him.No, she's not a kid. She should be given the opportunity to decide what is good for herself. So let her decide, and on her
"What are you talking about? Who are you going to punish?" She asked glaring closely at me. That was quick; I wasn't expecting those questions. What answer will I give her? I just had to divert the conversation. "So let's go shopping before marriage, you know. So we can have a memory," I suggested. "Don't try to escape my question. Just answer me first," she insisted. "Oh, baby, you are still as stubborn as I left you." I tried to escape the questions. "That's not a reply," she said, pouting. "Well, if you insist, I mean, I won't forgive myself because I took so long; don't you think I deserve some punishment for keeping you waiting?" I lied, and she couldn't stop glaring at me. Why won't she fall for me when she's always glaring at me? Did she think I would fall in love with my enemy? Nope, I will deal with her so well that her parents will mourn each and every day. I will make them suffer. I want to show you nothing but my wrath. You shall feel it as each day passes. I will
"I asked again, are you in love with my enemy's daughter?" He roared like an angry lion. Herald stared at him for a while and then burst into laughter. "Is this really funny?" he asked with a long face. "Yes, infact you are a joker. You are aware I am a playboy; how can someone like me fall in love? I know Nathaniel loves you a lot, and I don't want you to make a mistake you will ever regret" "Please Khalid, think about it," he said, and he sat down on the sofa. "Stand up and get out of my house," he ordered authoritatively. "Are you serious right now?" He asked, standing on his feet. "Since you don't understand the excess of my revenge and have chosen to support my enemy in spite of everything, I think you are no longer needed here," he said, and put on a fierce look. "I am not supporting your enemy; in fact, I want you to punish those old people very much. But not the innocent girl; can't you get that?" He tried to make him understand. "Get out, or I will be forced to
"How could they be planning on killing the man I love?" This isn't going to happen. Noooooo, I won't let this happen. Even if it's going to cause Edward's life's"Nathaniel shouted. She wonders how callous her parents could be. How could they be planning to kill him just for his wealth? Khalid I love you with all my life, and I won't let anyone hurt you. She said with teary eyes that she was trying to hold herself back from crying, but she couldn't. She picked up her phone and dialed Khalid's number. But there was no reply; had he refused to pick up her call? Did she do anything wrong to him? Different thoughts popped into her mind. She later resorts to calling Herald. But she drops the idea. "I think it's time I face these people; for how long are they going to make my life miserable? All they have ever given me is pain all my life, and the only person that makes me happy, they are planning on taking him away for me." "How callous could they be?" She dashed out of her room
