Chapter 3 - Another Cold Devil

"What should I text?" Emma asked herself pacing around the room.

It was 10:30 p.m. and she just finished having dinner and quickly went to her room to give that boy a message whose name is Kyle. But she wasn't able to think about what should be her first message!

She didn't want to text hi-hello as she wanted an interesting chat. She tossed it on the bed and kept looking at the number.

She saved the number as MY SOON TO BE HUBBY.

"Should I text something naughty?" She asked and for the first time blushed thinking.

"But what if he really gets a heart attack?" She asked herself, groaning.

"But what should I text?" She asked and whined as her mind wasn't giving any ideas but a lot of dirty thoughts.

Then she grinned at the thought that popped into her dirty mind. Then she quickly typed the first text then quickly tapped the sent button.

She closed her eyes feeling satisfied with her message. But she opened her eyes as realization hit her.

"Oh, God! I am such an idiot! How could I send him such a blunt message? He will definitely think I am a creep! My love story ended before it started!" She started whining like a kid and kicked her legs in the air feeling angry at herself.

Her message was sent to him already and now she can't even delete it.

"Please make me pregnant hubby!"

"When will this boy come? Every time, only work, work and work. He doesn't see anything else. It's already 10:30 p.m. and there is no sight of him!" A woman in her 50s said, pacing in the enormous hall of their giant mansion.

"Grace, he will come! You already know he always comes late! Sit down and watch tv peacefully." Another woman said coming into the hall.

"No, I can't sit down peacefully until he comes, Ava! When will he understand me?" Grace said, looking at the entrance.

"Do one thing, get him married! Once he is married, he will come home sooner!" Ava said laughing.

"Not a bad idea. But I don't think he will give so much importance to his wife which he gives to his work!" Grace said as she knows how much her son loves working.

"Look, here comes your workaholic son!" Ava said motioning towards the gigantic door.

Grace gave a fake glare at her son who walked toward her with a smile.

"You were again waiting for me?" He asked, holding Grace's hand.

"If I don't wait then who will?" Grace asked, narrowing her eyes, trying to scare him so that he listens to her.

"I am sorry. But I got busy with work, mom. I will try to come sooner from tomorrow!" He said.

"You always say that! Now you have to listen to me and I don't want any arguments!" Grace said sternly.

"Jake, I will get you married as soon as possible!" Grace said, smirking at her son's shocked face.

"Now, where did this marriage thing come from?" He asked dumbfounded.

"When your wife will tell you then you will come home sooner, I know it!" Grace said with a peaceful smile.

"And what made you think that I will listen?" Jake asked nonchalantly.

Me and getting married! Never! Even if I get married somehow, I will never let someone control my life, Jake thought coldly.

"A man maybe doesn't listen to someone else but will definitely listen to his wife!" Grace said proudly.

"Yes, you said this right!" An old man said, chuckling, coming down the stairs.

"I always say the right thing, Walter!" Grace said smiling.

"Let me give you a bit of advice, Jake! Don't ever get married! Wife is such a pain in the back!" Walter whispered to Jake and he laughed a little hearing his father.

"What did you say?" Grace asked Walter, giving him her raging look.

"Nothing nothing!" Walter said laughing sheepishly.

"Go and feed your son with your hand! He works so much!" Walter said going towards the garden where their big family was gossiping.

"Mom, you go and rest! I will have dinner by myself after freshening up." Jake said with a small smile.

"Nope. I will feed you!" Grace said, denying his words.

"Mom, I am not little anymore! I can eat!" Jake said feeling a little embarrassed.

"How can I do that? I still remember your words when you were little!" Grace said.

"Mom, feed me with your beautiful hands even when I get older!" Grace said, mimicking his babyish voice which made him smile.

"I am feeding you from the past twenty-seven years and I will keep doing it!" Grace said.

"I love you so much, mom!" Jake said.

He knows how much she loves him more than anything. Moreover, he is the only child of them so he gets all the love from his parents.

"Now go and freshen up quickly! I will bring dinner to your room!" Grace said and he nodded going upstairs to his room.

He entered his room and took out his mobile and other things from his pants pocket and kept them in the bedside drawer. He moved towards the bathroom while opening his white shirt after taking off the coat.

As he entered the bathroom, a message popped on his phone but he didn't hear the notification sound.

After taking a refreshing shower, he came out of the bathroom in a towel while wiping his head with another towel. He looked devilishly handsome.

But he was never like this before! He didn't look so good-looking when he was younger.

He was just a normal nerdy boy with spectacles. But so many things have changed in just a few years.

He used to look thin but now he has a nice fine body.

His eyes! Let's not talk about it because you will get hypnotized in those ocean blue eyes!

So many things have changed in him except one thing! He is still that quiet boy but with more coldness!

He is loving and friendly only towards his family and friends. For the rest of the world, he is just another cold devil.

Whoever faces his rage will piss in their pants!
