Chapter 3 - She is Mine

She stood outside Xavier's restaurant, dressed in a patchwork suit and in a high ponytail.

"Is this person playing a joke on me?" Anna wondered.

The next moment, she opened the door and entered. Darkness welcome her, room was dimly lit, with only candles providing a soft glow. Before Anna could utter a word, a spotlight illuminated Xavier, who stood before her.

He was in front, six feet height, with deep hazel brown eyes that had a mysterious glint. Wearing a black tuxedo, he had charm that could beat anyone's heart. Yet, he was confronted by Anna Jaffrey, who didn’t go for looks.

He stumbled in front of her while Anna observed the entire spectacle with her arms tightly crossed.

Sitting on his knees, Xavier took a box out of his coat pocket and opened it in front of Anna. Anna looked carefully at the color of the diamond which was telling its own value.

''Ana.... I know we've only met once. But since I met you, you've been on my mind. Your smell has driven me crazy me, and your thoughts have consumed my senses like no one else's. Believe me; I've never felt this way before. I started to develop genuine feelings for you. Anna Jaffrey, will you be my partner in life? Will you marry me?" Xavier's tone was sincere. There was nothing wrong with that. He was telling the truth.

There was a firm belief in his tone that Anna would never deny it. But there was also Anna in front who did not allow anyone to rule over her.

"Listen, Mr. Sheikh, I have not come here to meet you, but to explain to you that please stop harassing me. And last but not least, I don’t like you. In fact, there is no match between you and me. So please don’t come in front of me again. And don't contact me in the future.  And yes, this is a rejection," she declared firmly. Xavier’s face turned red but he pursed his lips tightly to control.

"I want to know the reason for the refusal?" He asked, keeping his tone smooth.

"The reason is you, Mr. Sheikh. I want to spend my life with someone who is truly committed, not with someone who flits from one person to the next like a butterfly. Please, stop tormenting me," Anna said, forcefully pulling her hand away and left.

Xavier felt that someone had gripped his heart tightly in his fist. His face was red and lips were pressed tightly.

Xavier’s P.O.V.

"So this girl denied, the Great, Xavier Sheikh." All of my friends were shouting at me. I was sitting silently with red eyes. How dare she? She rejected me. For the first time in my life, someone rejected me.

"So how did Xavier feel when he heard the denial? By the way, no one has denied you till today.” Eric's tone was full of fun.

"Xavier Sheikh has never heard of denial, so how did you guys think that I would still back down on denial. What Xavier want something, Xavier keeps getting. ”There was something in my tone that made my friends trembles.

"So what is Xavier going to do?" Ryan asked in a serious manner and everyone else started looking at me. I smiles.

"I'll tell you but when the time came" I took a last sip of wine and walked towards my room

She was going to regret soon. She will pay for what she did. I will definitely make her mine.

~At Night

Lying on the bed, puffing on a cigar, with red eyes, I was still thinking about her.

"So she refused you?" A voice came from inside me.

"She will confess," I replied sternly.

"Xavier Sheikh, don't live in the misconception that Anna will ever be yours. You are crazy. You are a psycho. Why would she marry you?” The voice laughed at me.

"I'm not crazy," I yelled, shaking my head in denial.

"Yes, you are crazy and if you are not crazy, why she has denied you? She has called you imperfect, Xavier Sheikh. She blew away your honor.” That voice echoed again.

"So what do I do now?" I said anxiously.

"Revenge, Xavier Sheikh. Tell her you're a man. She has violated your honor. You should do the same.”

"No, I won't do that. She is my love.” I shook my head.

"Okay, don't believe me. If you do what I said, she will always be yours. No one will accept her. Then you will be able to keep her forever. But if you don't listen to me, then she will go away from you,” he said again.

"No, I can't lose her. Tell me what to do. "

"Bring her to you, Xavier. Imprison her. Do what i say then she will be yours, Xavier, only yours,” said the voice echoing all around me.

I pulled my hair tightly in fist. What should I do? Suddenly I made a decision and a broad smile on my lips.

"No, Anna ... No i won't leave you. You are mine, only for Xavier Sheikh and I will get you at any cost, in any case.” I started laughing loudly. I was going to imprison her soon, from where she will never be able to escape.
