“What’s wrong with me?!?! I was about to kiss her! Thank god Lia called in time, bringing me back to my senses!” Christian opened the first two buttons of his shirt and took a deep breath. “Why do I feel so attracted to her? Why has she been constantly on my mind since she stepped foot in my house? Why there are so many whys in my mind suddenly?” He scolded himself, pacing in the open area. His phone buzzed in his trousers again and he took it out, irritated. “Hey baby, How is the party going?” He received the call and Lia chirped from the other side. “Yeah, great!” He responded nonchalantly. “Are you having fun?” Lia asked, but Christian’s mind was racing back to Mishka and it annoyed him. “Lia, is there something important? I need to go back inside.” He said in an irritated tone. “Umm… Actually, I called to apologise for my behaviour at the café. I am sorry!” She said sweetly. “It’s alright! No worries,” He answered calmly. “Have you taken Mishka’s signature on the marriage c

“This is a long story, Mishka. I don’t know how and where to begin with. You need to know about Vera if you want to know who Jennifer is.” Leo’s voice turned gloomy. “Who is Vera?” Mishka asked, knitting her eyebrows. “Vera is Christian’s mother and Luke’s ex-wife.” Leo sighed. “She was a gorgeous twenty-year-old girl when she married Luke. Vera was Rosella’s friend’s daughter. Her parents died in a plane crash, and after that, her relatives started treating her like a servant. She was living in a miserable state when my wife Rosella stepped into her life.” Leo said, and Mishka listened to him attentively. “Rosella brought Vera to our house and loved her like her own daughter. Soon, Vera and Rony became very close friends. They were in the same college, so they spent most of their time together. At that time, Luke and Berry were completing their higher studies at Harvard University where Luke met Jennifer in some bar, and they started dating.” Leo said. “We all were unknown about L

Mishka turned on the lights of her room and was startled to find Christian sitting at the foot of the bed with a bottle of Legacy by Angostura, the world’s most expensive rum. Mishka knitted her eyebrows, taking a step forward in his direction. “Chris?” She muttered in a low voice, and Christian glanced up at her in his drowsy state and with a broad smile. “Oh, you came back! Come sit here. I was expecting you.” Christian said in a sluggish voice, patting beside him in the empty space. “Chris, I think you are drunk. You should head back to your room,” Mishka said as she stood in front of him. “No, I am not drunk. I am completely fine. Come, sit beside me, I wish to say something.” Christian said, reaching out his hand towards Mishka and when she did not accept, he held her elbow and yanked her towards him. Mishka stumbled because of her pointed high heels and landed straight on top of him. They ended up in an awkward position and Mishka struggled to set herself free, but Christian

“I mean, you must have dated many beautiful, gorgeous, sexy women in the past, maybe some Victoria’s Secret Models too. Maybe you found someone attractive at the party and kissed her. Why Mishka’s words are ringing in my head nonstop? Why does it seem familiar, like I have heard this before?” Christian asked himself, closing his eyes, and images of last night flooded into his mind. “I sat on her bed. She came in and switched on the lights. I asked her to sit beside me and then when she didn’t agree, I pulled her towards me and she landed straight on me and then…… I kissed her. Fuck, I kissed her!! I kissed Mishka!! But why she lied to me when I asked her?” Christian recalled the details. A number of questions wandered in his head and he held his face in his hand, feeling completely disoriented. “Come on, Mishka, you can do it!” Christian heard Daniel cheering for Mishka and he walked to the window to take a look outside. He removed the curtains and found Daniel playing basketball wit

Mishka watched Christian glaring at her before taking the first step on the stairs, but Leo interrupted him, “Chris, change your clothes and come back fast. We will wait for you.” “I will have dinner in my room. I am exhausted.” He said in an irritated tone and turned to leave. “No, come back here fast. I want to discuss something important,” Leo said sternly. “Fine, I am coming.” Christian nodded and left for his room. “Why do you force Chris on every small thing?” Jennifer said, rolling her eyes. Leo narrowed his eyes at her. “Excuse me, do I have to take your permission to eat dinner with my grandson?” He asked. “No, I didn’t mean that, but you are already forcing him to marry her like you forced his father to marry Vera,” Jennifer said looking briefly at Mishka, “And now you are forcing him to have dinner with all of us when he is clearly stating that he is tired. Can’t he have some privacy in his life?” Jennifer sneered, and Mishka pursed her lips, focusing on her food. “Je
