Author POV"This is my time; tonight I will be with him." I will not invite Herald, as he asked. I want to be alone with him so I can make sure he's not falling for her. I can't lose the man I have loved for the past ten years to an enemy's daughter. "I don't mind if they die, what matters is that Khalid will be mine no matter what," Jenny thought and smiled. "Let me see you out," Khalid said, and he saw her out to the garage. *****Nathaniel room "I had the feeling that Jenny was up to no good, and I was right. I confirmed that today. What did she think—that she could take Khalid away from me? Not possible. I will go against anyone just for him. "My happiness lies in him, and I will make sure that wasn't taken away," Nathaniel growled, pacing back and forth in her room. Her phone beeped, and she checked the caller ID. She picked it up immediately. "Star girl, what's up?" Herald said from the other end of the line with an imaginary smile. Nathaniel couldn't control herself and la
Author POV"There’s nothing, we aren’t just a good term." Nathanial tried to cover up again, but Michelle didn’t believe her. "It’s obvious you are lying, how much lies are you going to tell. Common what’s going on" She asked holding her shoulder. She chuckled staring at her. "I am in a total mess, Michelle," she said with teary eyes."What is that? Stop scaring me," she asked, putting on a sad face. She explained everything to her. She felt really bad for her. "This is so bad, you are going through a lot. I wish I could bear this pain with you. I am sorry, sis. I promised to always be there for you." But I couldn’t even see your pain, but Khalid never leaves any trace. "He was even nice to me down there; why is he doing all this?" she said, trying to hold back her tears. "Common, you don’t have to blame yourself; this isn’t your fault at all, infact, and you are such a nice person..So stop blaming yourself—this is my parent's fault; maybe it was a mistake choosing them as my pare
Khalid POVI didn't know the reason why she went inside with Michelle; I wanted to know, but I couldn't bring myself to ask her that. So I just decided to keep quiet about it. I can't always cause nuisance every time. I don't really think it's something I will need to know. If I were supposed to know, I am sure she would tell me. Flashback"Khalid, thank goodness you are here." She shouted, and I scoffed. "What's up, Michelle? Where's Aunty?" I asked after her mom. "Mum is with Nathaniel, she had refused to eat because she got scolded by her father. Mum is trying to persuade her, can you please help her?" she asked, holding my hand. I was shocked to hear that. "I am here now; she will be fine.Let's go to her room," I replied, and we both ran to Nathaniel's room. She was crying on Michelle's mother leg. "Why are you not my mother? Those people really bad? How could they be my parents? "She cried and hugged her tightly. I looked at her with some pity. Then I wonder why I was pitying
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
