I discover Advocate Daniel standing by the dining room. He wasn't supposed to be here at this hour. Sana and I look at each other as we stand up to greet him.
"Good evening, Daniel," I walk towards him as Sana follows me. We both warmly welcome him by shaking hands."Good evening," he too greets. "I hope I didn't disturb you at this hour," he adds.Why do people on earth say this after they almost ruin anyone's moment? I smile at him casually. "Not at all," I fake being happy. I didn't want him to be here. Since the day it's all started Sana's behaviour began changing. I always love to be real with Sana. However, now we'll have to act like a perfect couple in front of him."Daniel please come and have dinner with us," she offers him with a smile. What's the need to offer him? I like the version of her that she shows before Eva or anyone else. Though I act like I don't like her boldness, I admire her fighting with people and breaking their jaws rather than being extra sweet to people. She should only be sweet with me. "No. No thanks," he grins. "I actually come here to have a chat with you regarding the case"My heart sank there. So finally we're doing it. "Have a seat," I tell him as I take my seat and he too sits beside me. Sana joins us too."So, Mr and Mrs Matthews, I had a chat with your father. I hadn't told him about your marriage. But he seemed to be stuck with his decision," he says.
"But why? I'm his son. His eldest son. He should've provided me with the share I am supposed to have, without any conditions," I shrug being frustrated.
Sana squeezes my hand right then as she looks at me raising her eyebrows. I literally forgot that I'm talking to Daniel who thinks I and Sana are a married couple. "Why are you being so depressed Mr Matthews? You've already fulfilled the condition. Now I'll have to inform your father that you're married and it's the time for him to give you the share of his property he has promised for," He says as he passes some documents. I relax and pick up the file. These are my father's contract papers. According to the latest corrections, it says I'll have to get married and settle down with my family and he's gonna provide me 40% shares of his property. This is the most disgusting thing he has ever done to me. He knew I'm not the kind of person who believes in official or biological relationships. They haunt me. Growing up in a broken family and then competing with my stepbrother for my rights have made me stick to my decision of not getting married ever.I was happy in my life with Sana and my work. And sometimes with mom and Samantha. All I needed was to own shares of Father's property. But he had made this stupid condition. I know why he did that. He wanted me to disagree with his condition and leave my shares for his beloved son Alex.
I didn't want to ruin my whole life because of a stupid agreement. I offered a proposal to Sana. And not so surprisingly she agreed to fake our relationship before Daniel. We pretended to be husband-wife and made a false marriage certificate by bribing the officials. Daniel is still in a misconception about us. He is an honest guy. I was afraid of telling him the truth as he would have never helped me and I wouldn't get what I want."He is just frustrated," Sana tackles the situation as she places his hand on my shoulder."My father is a jerk," I shrug. "He easily handed over his company to Alex without any fucking agreement. And when I asked for my shares he did this illogical drama"
"Relax, Mr Matthews. It's not only you," Daniel says.I look up at him, surprised.
"What do you mean?" I curiously ask.
"You heard right. Not only you but also Alex was given the same conditions to get the ownership of your Father's company," Daniel added.What the heck is the man doing? What does he want to prove?
"Alex and his wife Olivia are married with a contract of 2 years," he says."What?" Sana exclaimed.
"Yes. I have collected their marriage contract which shows that they are not in a serious marriage," he keeps making us freeze by his words.Sana And I look at each other without passing any word."I've talked with your father and he told me the reason for doing this. He wants his sons to be happy and have a good life. Unlike him who kept confusing himself. According to him, his life was a complete mess. He has never been happy with anyone. However, he doesn't want both of you to ruin your lives," Daniel completes his statement.
We remain silent after he clears my father's intentions. Actually, I don't find it a sensible way to make anyone happy. If a single marriage could make humans happy, my father would be the happiest man after two rounds of marriage. But he ends up being alone. Yet I'm focused on my shares right now. Nobody fucking cares about his thoughts. He'll always be a jerk to me. Only his property matters.
Sana's POV I'm shocked after knowing the truth about Olivia and Alex's marriage. I'm not worried about the agreement right now. But all I care about is our company. Roshan has kidnapped Olivia so that Alex tells the truth of the scam by which he trapped Sid. And now we got to know that Alex and Olivia aren't in a serious marriage. Therefore, Alex will never do something to save Olivia. My head is pounding with hundreds of thoughts. "Should I disclose the matter of your marriage to your father so that you can get your owing shares as soon as possible?" Daniel asks. Sid doesn't reply to him. He lowers his head, joining him both hands with his forehead. He must be thinking about his mom. If she gets to know about our marriage, she'll create a scene. And if we tell her that our marriage is fake, she will surely tell the truth to his father. After a long break, Sid finally looks up to Daniel. "Sure. I want my shares as soon as possibl
Sana's POV continued "Yes. You were right," I join him. "We finally played our cards, Sid. I'm really happy" "So I am," he says and pats my head. I find it adorable whenever he does this. He glances at me intensely as his palm trails down to my cheek. I look up at him. Our eyes meet. Sid's POV I stare at her as a genuine smile comes across my face. She keeps looking at me while leaving the rest of the bread on the plate. I discover a little bit of food dust at the corner of her lips. After a whole day, I'm finally peering into her gorgeous skin. Thousands of thoughts poured into my mind as I rub my thumb to clean the dust from her lips. She holds my wrist, our eye contact is becoming deeper with every passing second. I adore her beautiful black eyes, her brownish spotless skin, her rose petal lips while she is wearing no lipgloss or lipstick. Her glowing pinkish lips invite me to leap into them, consume them like drugs. I want to consume
Sana's POV continued He stops caressing my belly as I say this to him. I smile sarcastically again and open my eyes to look at him. He is too stunned to say anything. "Sana...you," he mumbles. I expected this reaction from him. However, I don't want things to get awkward between us when we have just lived a beautiful moment. "Relax," I laugh at him as I try to overcome the awkwardness. "I was kidding" "You always scare me," he sighs as he takes me into a deep embrace. Why? Why does it scare him? Why does loving me haunt him? I turn off my inner soul again so that I don't do any stupidity again. I don't want him to be more disturbed. Finally, we got some relief. I don't wanna snatch them. "It's time to celebrate, no?" I say as I look up. I discover him staring at me. "Yeah," he agrees. "Tequila or Vodka?" I ask. "You know my preference," he smirks. "Me or Vodka?" I chuckle as I get
She becomes nervous as her first impression in this office wasn't desirable at all."I.. thought you were gonna..," she stammers while speaking. I hardly get to see a girl like her who gets anxious while talking to me.Her eyelids look fluffy like waves of the ocean; I manage to see the sight as she lowers her eyes. I keep gazing at her. I don't like people being over-excited about their upcoming goals. It doesn't look professional at all. One should have the attitude and spark into his/her eyes which were missing in her eyes."Sir," Tina interrupts. "I told her to come. Plz, give her one chance. She has the potential""She? You mean her?" I mock her words. "She can only mumble and stammer like a dumb," I shrug as I ignore eye contact with her. I mean what I said. The way she talked, stammered and looked, shows how much less confident she is! Guys may like a girl like her when it comes to relationships but not in work, I guess. I just guessed.
Sid's POVI stand straight as she tries to move. "You can go to your place," I order her. She leaves the chair in a haste and walks away. I re-read the mail, I must say she is good at communicating but what the fuck was she doing? Stammering, mumbling. Do I look that scary? However, I don't care what she thinks about me."You think that's gonna work?" I asked her. "You've barely written four lines""I'm not here to impress anyone. I'm here to convince you. There's a big difference between impressing and convincing," she finally completes her statement without stammering. I wanted her to do so. Because somewhere I don't need a dumb girl in the company who can't utter a line properly. How will she be managing the work I'll assign her. I realise she is not dumb, she is too naive to handle."Impressive!!," I exclaim. "I said I'm not here to impress," she spits.I raise my eyebrows as she keeps surprising me with her savage
I can't believe my eyes, what the hell am I seeing? I feel a minor ache in my heart; he doesn't look at me and continues talking about the latest appointment that we'll have to attend."I need to have a chat with our primary client. Thankfully, we got another chance to convince them as they accepted the mail which Bella delivered," he says, his eyes are glued to the computer screens but my eyes are on him."Who's Bella?" I ask, a pinch of doubt mixed in my voice. He looks at me as he feels discomfort in my voice."The new girl," he says, raising his eyebrows."I see. So she just sent the mail?" I ask, annoyed. I'm pissed off right now, I can never imagine Sid being close to anyone else. He had never. Why the heck does that girl comes so close to him?"Yes," he rolls his eyes, he hasn't realised that I noticed the lipstick stain; or maybe he doesn't even know about the stain on his shirt."What else was happening here?" I shrug, being unable to c
Bella's POVI keep staring at her being surprised. Meanwhile, she turns around as our gazes meet. Puffing her cigarette, she narrows her eyebrows, I think she hasn't liked the way I stare at her. But doesn't it look weird to see a girl smoking? A girl who has a boyfriend. Doesn't he stop her from doing so? I've read that people in a relationship try to change their partner's bad habits and make them good people. So I guess Sid doesn't know anything about it."You wanna say something?" Sana says as she releases a bunch of smoke. She looks pathetic enough, but I shouldn't judge her by her looks or habits, maybe she is good by heart."No, I was just..
I predicted right, she is gonna use her emotional weapon on me. However, it hasn't affected me from the day she started treating me like an outsider. I still keep coming to her because just like every child I too can't hate my mother."It happened all of a sudden. I couldn't tell anyone," I explain."Sudden? You mean you didn't think about the consequences at all before getting married to this girl," she says pointing out Sana."Mom. Please! Don't make an issue of it""I'm making
