We were back in New York. Agat had some urgent meetings to attend. So he promised in front of Jen to take us both out when Jen would come back to attend our marriage. It all changed. I wasn't living in my parent's old apartment anymore.       I wanted to live in my home but he didn't approve of it. I couldn't fathom, what did he wanna prove to his parents? I felt dread and ecstasy at the same time when he announced the date of the wedding, after fifteen days on Sunday. He ordered me to arrange everything, especially decoration. I was worse at doing it and explaining things to him. I was expecting him to change his decision, it was impossible.           Mr Stubborn!       

I was feeling trapped in a worse situation when I recalled what happened with Chris. It faded after a blink, last night with Agat's flashed before my eyes. I wanted to stare at him but couldn’t help falling into a deep sleep. When I woke up, his bare chest was pressed on my bare back.       Chris' one wrong step, his mistake had upset all. Fortunately, I managed to run away from him. I didn't want to rush things. There was more than a week for the wedding. There were a lot of things I wanted to discuss. Now there was a big problem. Chris was a playboy, all knew it in his office and out of office. That was the huge reason his father didn't trust him with business. Agat was the new CEO of the family business. He was doing great and taking the business to the top. I didn't know, how would this work.       My eyes were half opened, staring at the large photo. Agat was smiling jovially, his arm was around his brother, Chris' s

Agat Rayden could have any girl he wanted. He was worried about me. It was written all over his face. He cared for me. I couldn't ignore my insecurities. He could change his mind at any time. Every time, it made my heart thunder.         I didn't wanna mistake his care and attention for something else which would hurt me later like hell. I could not deter Agat, he had our contract. I hadn't read it thoroughly. The contract he showed me and the contract I signed were different. The signed one seemed with more clauses and rules. My brother was happy. I was happy too.        I swang my feet out of the mattress after a deep sleep.        I grimaced at the piece of paper under the empty glass. I plucked it from the table removing the glass over it. I smiled reading his beautiful handwriting        'Be ready at seven. We're having dinner together.'  &

Equally dangerous and mysterious seemed Agat to me. He cared for me so much after the incident. He appointed security out of the door of his house. He didn't allow me to go back to my home. I was feeling a little prisoner. It wasn't in the contract, still, he wanted me to stay here with him in his penthouse. He asked his mother to cancel the shopping and asked me to rest all day, " Agat! " I opened my mouth, looking at him with beseeching eyes so he could hear me. He cut me off with the raise of his finger.       " We've talked about it. You're not safe in that small house. There's no security and camera. You're living upstairs until our marriage. I'll not stop there. " He patted his mouth with a white hankie and kept it on the table back.       " But it won't be the first time I'll be alone. " I slowly said, glancing up at him still holding my pleading gaze      " Because you're going to be my wife." He

To get my mind off of him, I flicked through the pages of a random book. I didn't want to confess that it had affected me, to see him with her. But I needed to put some distance between us before it got too difficult for me to breathe without him. It was written on my face and I didn't want him to accept it, whatever offer she was giving. I forced my attention on the book, " Alyssum! Come downstairs. " His loud voice came.        My body jolted as the book slipped out of my hands. I rushed downstairs, " What happened? " I asked, stopping at the end of the staircase.       " Dinner is ready. Come, " He said looking up at me.       " Oh! I thought, " I whispered and walked away from him. I kept my gaze at the floor and walked to the dining table. The Interior wasn't completely changed from the previous setting. They had renewed the previous. I loved it better. Shining and new!
