SCARLETT'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ There were only roses, petals of roses in the tray. And due to fall, they all scattered around. I was confused. There aren't any rings there laying around. Were...were there not any rings? What? What's happening? "No rings!" Molly exclaimed.She looked pleasantly happy at this. "Ohh, no rings means no engagement, right?" She didn't even try to hide the fact how pleasant she is right now. I wanted to punch her face. "No,Molly. What are you saying?" Shelly also fake gasped. These stupid mom- daughter! Ughhhh!! My chest was rising up and down in anger. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Xander on sensing my condition, squeezed my hand softly as if to assure me nothing is going to happen.

THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________Xander didn't want Scarlett to get involved with Lucas. That Lucas Rodriguez.But he didn't do anything except clenching his jaw. His fists were clenched too.Scarlett sensed his mood so she immediately hung up saying "bye" to Lucas.Though she still wondered who saved his number in her phone.Xander on the other hand felt pleasant when she hung up the phone.Though he immediately left his room without even wishing her good night.He planned to stay in his study for the night.It is better if he stays away from her. He shouldn't get too close to her.He shouldn't get too attached to her.He realised she was affecting him. She was affecting his emotions, his mood, his everything.So he decided he'll maintain his distance from her. He doesn't need

THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________Xander knew what he did and said was wrong.But he didn't want to get attached to her.He didn't know what he was doing all these past days.He got carried away by feelings and thought, maybe, just maybe, he could also have happiness, he could have a lover, a wife who'll love him, who'll be there for him.But that incident on the day of his engagement felt like a tight slap on his face for even thinking he could ever have love or be loved by someone.Also, he has already lived on his own without needing anyone for so long. He can continue to do so now too.There's no need for someone to enter and mess up his life.And that someone is a certain raven haired beauty he just hurt with his words.He has always masked his emotions. He can do them now too. He was a maste

THIRD PERSON'S POV__________________________________________________________Xander's heart felt warm on seeing Scarlett coming to ask him to come upstairs in their room.Okay! More like she ordered me to go upstairs with herBut still, my Triantáfyllo came to me even after I was so cold to her.He found it funny how Scarlett handled Molly. He was proud of her.Today, they'll be going back to his mansions.Their married life will be officially started.Xander thought so much about this since he said yes to the marriage.But it won't be easy.He can't let her go nor can he express how he feels about her.Scarlett is so beautiful and kind and sweet and here, he always hurt her.First during their ring shopping and now, their wedding night.Both these days were supposed to be special for her but naah, he had to go and ruin them for her.

SCARLETT'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________He stilled for a moment when I asked the question but his poker face was back in no time."If you never wanted me as your husband, why marry me?"He questioned back without answering my question."Ah! Well,...um...why ..why do you think I didn't want to marry you?" I asked.I actually wanted to ask him this before too because he has already mentioned previously too that I didn't want to marry him. It was true but I don't understand how did he know it?He told me this when we went to ring shopping. I don't want to remember what all he said that day to me but I want to know why he thinks so."I heard you talking to yourself the day we met at the café. " He simply said shrugging his shoulders."What? How?" I was shocked to hear this.
