The aura of Lorcan was just like his vibe, making anyone impossible to say no to him, his amber eyes were like a whirlpool, sucking me into it.He leaned to me, closer and closer, and his lips were almost on mine.Is he going to kiss me? As if being bewitched, I couldn't help closing my eyes."Do you want this? Little thing?" His cold voice was like a bait now, I was like a small fish under the water that couldn’t help biting fishing lure.I grabbed his arm tightly.Suddenly, he laughed out while his eyes filled with disdain."What are you expecting? I will kiss you? Get real, I will never kiss a woman as stupid as you!" His vicious words snapped me out of it.What the hell happened to me? Is it because I am pregnant with his child, why am I tempted by him again and again!"Screw off!" I pushed him away. “You're so shameless! Will you fucking male superiority boost up when you’re teasing a woman like this?!"I spat angrily, maybe I was being too bold in front of him because I was kind
I jerked as I blinked my eyes. I had no idea how long I slept but I was still feeling tired and worn out. I decided to go back to sleep since I don't have to go to work.However, I quickly opened my eyes again when my hand came in contact with someone's hand. I got the shock of my life as my soul left my body when I saw Lorcan lying on my right side. I looked in perplexity at him with wide horrified eyes.He looked really different when he was sleeping. Maybe more tamed and calm. And..more handsome. Much better than his scary and vicious self."Good morning," He suddenly let out in his deep and hoarse morning voice which was so tempting and irresistible that I brought the blanket near me even though I felt hot."What happened? You're free to stare, I don't mind," He chuckled and opened his eyes.I felt a flush creeping over my neck and cheeks when our eyes met and I sat up quickly to avoid him.Feeling embarrassed to face him I kept my eyes in my lap, though I could feel his gaze pene
"Grandma, please take a rest first. You seem really tired," Lorcan asked, clearly trying to change the topic."Lorcan sweetie, Rosalyn is perfect for you-""Grandma please, I don't want to talk about this matter right now," He cuts her off before glancing in my direction.He looked really annoyed and angry.Grandma sighed and nodded helplessly. But before she could leave she took my hands again in hers and asked. "Please think about my suggestion. I really like you and I would be happy if you became my granddaughter-in-law."I didn't reply to her not because I didn't want to but because I didn't have any answer. I don't want to upset this poor lady but I also don't want to marry a man who doesn't love me. I don't want to agree but he's right. A marriage without love and care is like a living hell.I know it because I have seen my mother going through it."I like you as well grandma," I let out softly, and forced out a small smile. "Please take care of your health."She smiled back but
Lorcan's pov.I walked into the club. I never anticipated returning here again in such a short period of time. I'm also shocked, but if I want to get married, I need to find an object of my own choice.I am aware of how cruel my father can be, and if he has made up his mind that he wants me to get married, he will not stop pestering me until I do. However, I will never wed a person of his choice.I selected a group of women, they were all beautiful but still I don't know why I don't find myself interested in any of them. They don't seem as appealing as I expected them to be, and I just know I don't wanna touch any of them. Their smiles seem fake and their facade was that of gold diggers.Their scent made me sick, none of them smelled like that Surrogate. Her fragrance was comforting and her looks were above them all.I shook my head. Why the hell am I thinking of her? I'm here to get a wife and not to compare her traits to them.I sat alone and gulped down my drink after I sent them a
Rosalyn's pov."Before the wedding takes place I still need to find Nick otherwise the plan can not be carried out properly," I informed him but he kept driving the car in silence.I don't know why he's suddenly angry again after agreeing to my plan. It's not like I'm forcing him, if anything it's the other way around.He's been like this since he dragged me out of the club. I know he hates it that I went there but I didn't have any other choice.But then to my surprise, he called someone and ordered in a threatening tone."Find me Rosalyn's dog as soon as possible. I don't care which hole he's hiding in around the world, but I want him alive," He ordered without any mercy on his face."Yes, boss," I heard a stiff voice on the other side before Lorcan hung up without answering back."Thank you," I let out in a small voice but he didn't respond.We both didn't speak after that. If he can show his attitude then so can I.We are currently on our way to Grandma's house. He said she'd be t
I went back to the car after him. And because Mr. Grumpy wasn't in the mood to drive this time, we sat back in the car. He did nothing but sit there with his eyes closed for the majority of the drive.And I would have found it boring if I hadn't been so nervous about the upcoming press conference. I'm not someone who can freely express myself in public, let alone in front of cameras. This anxiety is weighing heavily on me.My social anxiety has always been an issue for me to overcome it. So, I don't know how well I will be able to handle the attention tomorrow.I'm afraid that I will say something wrong or can not answer the journalist's questions. What if I make things messier than they already are? Will this devil forgive me? Probably not.And that's why I'm more scared.I don't know anything about him. He is obsessed with keeping things about himself hidden. Since meeting him, the only thing I have learned about him is that he's a control freak with a God complex. So, even if I try
As soon as we entered the press conference hall the flash of the cameras caused me to go blind for a moment. I was already nervous so this glimmering attention made me even more nauseous.My heart pounded in my chest and all I could hear was the murmurs of the reporters. My chest heaved when I gathered up the courage to look around the hall and my eyes met with some of the reporters. They were a lot.The thought of running from there crossed my mind faster than anything. I don't think I can handle all this tension."It's alright, don't worry they're not gonna eat you," I felt a warmth touching my hand as Lorcan intertwined our hands before I could pass out. We need to show intimacy between us to show everyone how much we love each other. "Just don't mess up anything."I don't want to admit but his fake support did help me to calm down. I tightly squeezed his hand to quiet down my nerves. But he doesn't need to know that.As we settled in our seats the reporters didn't waste any time a
I felt like the sky was falling down on me when I saw my father standing there with an evil smile. My world started to shake just by his mere sight of existence."How the hell did he get here?" I muttered under my breath in disbelief. How did he find out my whereabouts?Even though this is the first time I'd seen him since I left the house, it was enough to make me start shaking right away. And his smile. He still has that same smile on his face when he used to beat and abuse my mother and me. I never wanted to see that malicious smile of his again. Or even him."Throw this guy out!" I heard Lorcan ordering his man in a hushed voice that only his men could hear him."Right away boss,"He left my side and went to make sure that my father was out of the hall.I was afraid of Lorcan's rage, which I could feel from far away. I didn't want to ruin the conference in that manner because of me. Now, I have to deal with his anger as well. I'm on the verge of collapsing. It was challenging to c
