MasukA young handsome man with the aura of a god stood like a statue unable to believe his eyes. The same petite belle that captured his heart was standing meters away from him. It has just been a few days since he met but he had been plunged into a web of unfazed emotions.
So many thoughts roamed in his head without even realizing he had accepted his strong and resilient feelings for her, being a third generation heir and the CEO of a company worth billions of dollars he had never been so terrified in his entire life. How could he love and hate her at the same time? He had watched her enter the mall up until the moment she exited but that alone wasn't going to cut it. His troubled gazed remained on her even as she retreated, to say he was suspicious was the least, he was petrified. "Keep a close eye on her, do not let her out of your sight" he muttered to his P.A. "Yes Sir" His PA responded. A young man with very distinctive features and questionable taste in fashion walked out of the restaurant seemingly upset and ready to throw a tantrum judging by the grumpy look on his face. Big brother come inside the restaurant, it was hard getting you here and now you want to spend your time on your phone" The doll like beauty muttered coquettishly. Stop spending your time indulging duties and focus on your responsibilities in the company, relieving our parents of their worries and also sharing the burden and duties of the company. you have just three months to build the department you were assigned to or else I will seize your passport and all your cards thereby restricting you from traveling and lavishing money without probable cause". He cautioned strictly. Big brother when will you stop acting like our aged parents? I am still young and not ready to be assigned a role in the company, I simply want to live out my days exploring beautiful cities. Is it too much to ask? I am not cut out for the corporate life, it is practically torture." He whined with his face almost as red as a tomato. You will have to grow up sooner or later. Over the years after father retired the other factors are hell bent on pushing us out of the company and with time they have become more desperate and confrontational with their schemes. On countless occasions they have made efforts to jeopardize our contracts with other companies costing us millions and if not for my timely interventions they would have succeeded. Of course I know that. Just because I play around doesn't mean I am totally clueless about their underhanded activities. They are often in the shadows scheming But you never told me about it, you security is always lax. Do I need to remind you to stay alive? I understand brother, but tell me what is on your mind, you seem flustered. Did something happen? With a hard pat on his brother shoulder he assured him "No at all, am leaving first. The tab is on me". Without waiting for his response he quickly exited the restaurant. Knowing his brother he wouldn't let him go without a fight and some episodes. He had an agenda in mind, he had to confront her!!!! Her feud with her step relatives were no secret in the circle, it seemed she was as notorious as they had portrayed but these last few days had changed the narrative yet he still had his suspicions about her behavior that night For days he had been her shadow, hovering, brooding and fighting his shaky not to mention uncontrollable emotions. it was time to officially meet her. His car was parked in the parking lot of a mini Mart minutes after her location had been conveyed. Immediately she stepped out, she was directly taken to the car he was in. Without waiting for him to speak she immediately questioned "are you one of the husbands my step mother had prepared for me?" His face turned red that instant!!!!!!! How presumptuous she was, yet innocent. She was staring down on him probably wondering why his face was so red. Your stepmother didn't send me, I have my own intentions. "Marry me first thing tomorrow morning." He utterly flatly She turned red!!!!!!!!!!Mrs young and miss young remained frozen in place for a few seconds, the looks on their face revealed fear and shock which puzzled the revealed face of Mr young who has just walked in on them planning to ruin his daughter's life. Dad, sorry we didn't see you there, when did you arrive? I didn't hear you come in. How was your meeting at the office? Mitchell questioned hurriedly and leaving no room for a response from her father " Why the silence? Both of you look so flustered almost like you had seen a ghost. Is something wrong?" I asked a question, Mr young pressed. He was obviously curious on the conversation they were having before he walked in on them. His ever so meek and gentle wife was becoming mischievous. Mrs young eventually managed to regain her speech " Oh my dearie, you're back from the office, we obviously didn't see you standing there and there is nothing to disclose of course. We were just having some girls talk. I mean we are allowed to have those without attrac
Aiden couldn't stop brooding despite his poker face, the past few days had been a whirlwind, twirling twirling till his eyes churned and his veins looked like they were about to pop. What a hassle!!!!! Despite his resolve to stay clear of women and their trouble, fate had other plans for him and woe be it to leave his future to be determined by an unknown force. While Aiden was rummaging his head searching for a reasonable stance, Arianna was fussing and fussing, obviously nervous about her birthday party that was drawing near, conscious of the danger ahead despite it being a celebration and coming out party and all. To say she was disturbed was an understatement of the century, she had spent her days Planning and deliberately on her next evasive yet provocative move on her scheming self acclaimed stepmother, knowing her defeat wasn't part of her acts, she would be hell bent on deliberately ruined her eighteenth. The recently proposed marriage was an evidence of that fact,
Despite the cold air outside, the inside of the car remained uncomfortably warm. Not from the heater—Aiden had switched that off long ago—but from the tightening tension filling the small space. His collar clung to his neck, and he tugged at his tie for the tenth time, desperate to appear calm even as his body waged war against his composure. Sitting beside Arianna was doing nothing to help.Her presence was unsettling in a way he hadn’t anticipated—youthful yet strangely composed, sharp yet soft, vibrant in a way that lit up even the dimmest corner. He had come prepared with logic, contracts, and strategy. None of that mattered now. Not when she kept stealing his breath without even trying.He needed to end this conversation before he embarrassed himself.Her scattered thoughts paused when she finally lifted her gaze to him. Her doll-like face twisted with confusion as she asked, utterly unbothered, “You know I’m seventeen, right? I hope you’re not having any lewd thoughts about me,
Arianna was stupified!!!!!! Aiden remained still trying to decipher her reaction, seeing as it changed a quite a number of times. it went from flustered to surprise to shock, from shock to realization then confusing. She was a hassle!!!!. Even after preparing himself for this moment being in such a close space with triggered every fiber in his body, he was struggling to breathe even though the air-conditioning in the car was pretty high. She will be the death of me." Aiden sighed internally. Her reaction had made him timid "Could you please say something? I'm a bit pressed for your response" He questioned complacently. Say something? oh I have a bunch of things to say. Who the hell are you and why are you trying to get me to marry you? Oh my gosh you're a pedophile" She gasped with uncertainty written all over. She seemed to be in denial, not realizing he was the hero she had come across that night? Ohhhh it was worst than he thought, her confused look was that of anger rathe

Seconds tickled while Arianna fought hard for a rebuttal, she just couldn't come up with less condescending words her stepmother deserved. How unfortunate could her fate be to cross paths with such a despicable person. And to think her glamorous features was a fool proof shield, considering how blindfolded her father was. "Fight all you can while you can, seeing as you will be kicked out soon just like the filth you are" she responded hiding the rage inside of her" Her stepmother gloated. "Oh I see you can still talk, hoping to banter your way out in marriage, you must be mistaken." Her stepmother responded with spite. "It will never happen I assure you. I will rather die than accept this!!!!" Arianna stomped her feet burning with rage. "My lovely daughter it already has, you just need to see it, don't be naive my dear, simply put your energy into learning how to become a supportive wife. You see Mr Pearson is rather strict, I doubt he will be willing to accept your wild an
