—Christian—Life couldn't get more disappointing than this. Every plan that I had made for myself is being shattered one by one. First my project that I've been putting my whole life in was stolen, then dad's obsession with my marriage and that too with a girl who I can't even look at without raging. And even If it wasn't enough, Dad's threatening me to kick me out of business, the business that I had built, being on his side for all these years. The fuck I will let it go!! “ I don't care, I need an assurity that you won't back out. ““ Do you want a written statement, Dad??” I was annoyed. “ No, just a tiny tainy engagement. “ He grinned at me as if these were the most normal words. Inhaling deeply, I forced a smile. “ I will do that, just give me some time to get to know her. “ Translation: To make her back out. I can argue with him and I know I can get my way in the business but I'm a little concerned about him since he got into that accident a few weeks ago. Never something

— JENNIFER —The car stopped at the entrance of Brown Mansion and I stared outside. Everything was decorated so nicely that I couldn't stop myself from awing. People were walking here and there, taking pictures. Unlike what they had told about the engagement being a private event, I can only see people all around. Even so many guests are still arriving. Between all this crowd, my eyes met with a particular black deep set of eyes which were already staring at me through the window from afar. Christian was talking on his phone, his expressions not pleased at all. An angry scowl was marrying his face and I couldn't understand how the hell does he always manage to look hot. Dressed in a black tuxedo, with his hair nicely settled towards the back, he was looking extraordinarily gorgeous. I didn't know if it's his handsome features or luxurious lifestyle that makes him attractive. But I can't deny the fact that he does look handsome all the fucking time. I tore my gaze away as the door to

—JENNIFER—I sucked into a sharp breath when he started walking towards me, without breaking eye contact and within a few moments, he was standing in front of me with his hand extended. I stared at him then at his hand, which was waiting for mine to be placed on him. My head was suddenly blank, unable to tell what I should do when I was suddenly pushed towards him gently. I gasped, landing straight into Christian’s arms. He had held me quickly, before I could tumble over my own dress and fall on my face. Regaining my balance, I stepped back a little and turned to find all the eyes fixated on us. Heat creeped to my cheeks at the unwanted attention.I realised that it was Anya who pushed me, seeing me all frozen in my place. I was pulled back from my thoughts when Christian grabbed my hand and started dragging me towards the stage. I was unable to meet up with his speed, partly because of the dress and partly because of these bitchy heels. People, who were looking at us lovingly a m

—JENNIFER—His hands were clutching my wrist at either side of my head in such a harsh grip that it almost felt bruising. “ What the hell are you doing?? “ I flinched, literally frightened of those angry eyes. “ What the fuck do you want?? “ He hissed, tightening his grip on my wrists and getting closer. His angry hot breaths were touching my face, his nose almost brushing mine, making me look away and not him. His mood was terrifying, dominating. “ W-What do you m-mean?? Ah- leave me. “ I flinched in pain as he bored his eyes into mine. “ Stop playing fucking innocent.” He barked on my face and I flinched again. “ What did I even d- uh, stop it. You are hurting me. ““ That's what you deserve and this is what you are going to have all your life from now on since you are desperate to marry me. “ His hissed again, pressing his face on mine, our lips only an inch away. I hitched my breath for a moment before pushing him away with all my might and gasping for air. “ What the fuck

—JENNIFER —“ I missed you!!” saying that he dipped down his head and kissed my cheek.WHAT THE FUCK!! I trembled in his hold as my stomach did some weird thing. His lips lingered on the spot for some seconds before he pulled back and stared LOVINGLY in my eyes. Like some long lost love who finally met me after chopping down the mountains to reach me. Heat creeped up to my neck and cheeks as I suddenly felt hot everywhere. A smirk got stretched on his lips seeing me being so affected by his touch. I was pulled back from my shock by the loud gasps and I looked at him in disbelief. “ What on the earth-“Christian?? “ An excited screech rang in the air and I turned my head back to find Cally standing there beside Celeste. Both of their mouths opened wide as they stared at us. To be specific, Me in Christian's arms. Realising it, I quickly pulled back and stood at a little distance from him but he didn't left my hand. “ Won't you introduce me to your friends, Princess?“ I was cut
