Just as Lara told her, that they were going to hold a meeting for the deal, she rushed here.Standing confidently, she observed her surrounding. The building was better than their's. Shaking her head, she walked to the reception and told the receptionist to inform Hardin, about her being here.The receptionist informed him on the phone and she found herself in the lift, going up to the top floor, as her heart started beating faster.The last time she was alone with Hardin, he choked her andAUTHOR'S POV “ We are going to marry next week. ” Hardin dropped the bomb on her and Sia's jaw hanged low in shock. Now, this was what they called going overboard with everything. Sia thought and whipped her head around to argue with him again when his hands made their way to her sides for the second time. “ Hardin Please. Listen to me. ” Sia placed her hands on his wet chest and sighed. Hardin's hands paused, his eyes assessing her expressions. “ I am listening. ” He smiled, pushing Sia's hair behind her ear softly. Sia heaved a heavy breath not knowing what to say to him. She did not know why she still felt so scared of everything. “ Don't you want to be with me? Don't you want everyone to know that we are married? ” Hardin whispered, his eyes noticing her expressions that changed to one of horror. “ No. No. It's nothing like th
AUTHOR'S POV When she opened her eyes and found him on his knees in front of her with a ring box opened in front of him, all fear got replaced with awe and raw shock. It was like she would never be able to breath again. “ So? Will you marry me Sia Hardin Black? Once Again? ” He smiled nervously as he proposed to her. Sia's hands shot up to her mouth to cover it as a gasp left her lips. Tears started streaming down her red cheeks. “ I wanted to prepare a grand proposal event something but I think this is the right time for this. ” He shrugged his right shoulder as he stared in his teary eyes hopefully. His heart was beating in his ears like a drum. This was the second time in his whole life that he was so nervous. Truly scared yet hopeful at the same time. “ I think this is the best time because there is only you and me. You need me and I want to be there for you whe
AUTHOR'S POV Sia turned around in the bed, her eyes opening. She did not know when she fell asleep and woke up just now. Yawning, she focused on the figure laying just beside her with his arm draped over her waist protectively. Her hand reached out to brush off his bangs away from his eyes with her fingers gently as he sighed in his sleep. An unconscious smile was tugged up at the corners of Sia's lips. Her thumb slowly drew circles on his cheek with her eyes taking in the sight before her. She had never thought that it was possible for Hardin to love her. It all felt like a lie at first but the sincerity in his eyes and the determination in his voice drove all fear away. Now there was only him and there was only her. Nothing else mattered. Atleast she could try thinking like that but she still had a hard time adjusting to this new thing. She pushed herself off the bed as she grabbed her clothes to wear them.

AUTHOR'S POV “ What? What did you say? ” Hardin shook his head, his heart pounding in his ears. He was wondering if what he heard was really what she spoke just now. “ I will stay. I said I wil-will stay. ” Sia immediately changed her statement, her cheeks starting to heat up. She had never said I love you to any man before and she felt like she did something out of the world just now. His shocked eyes were making her breath hitch. “ You said something else. ” Hardin's eyes darkened as a smirk tugged up at the corner of his lips. He knew that she confessed to him just now but changed her words instantly after that. She felt awkward but he would definitely hear it from her. One way or another. Sia pulled her hand back feeling nervous and turned around to march closer to the pictures that were hanged on the wall. Her hands were trembling at her side,
AUTHOR'S POV “ You! You will come with me. ” He grabbed her wrist and started dragging her back inside the mansion as Sia let him take her, feeling dumbfounded. What was Hardin doing? Sia wondered but could not find the answer to that. She guessed, she would find out in a while. Hardin dragged Sia to the room on the upper floor which was his as she recognized instantly. The combination was maroon and black. It gave off an eery vibe just like his personality. He pulled her inside and closed the door behind them smoothly with a click. Sia took in the interior of the room. There was a huge king sized bed in the middle with black sheets and maroon duvet and pillows. Sia's eyes conveniently left the bed and stopped at the wall beside it. Her breath hitched when she noticed alot of pictures hanged on the wall. Her pictures. She had never seen them before though.
