A Contractual Love 40
Kian’s POV:The place was calm. Lanterns were the only source of light. Curtains were flying along the breeze. It was perfect. I didn’t praise Raven for that. But the place he chose was very good. A whole personal place booked for the two of us, along the River Thames. A shelter covered with lanterns on the inside was the only roof at the top of me. A table and two chairs. Contrasting the whole theme. Intoxicating smell of lavender lingering around.I was dressed all in black. My suite was also selected by Raven. I trusted him. Also, after observing the whole arrangement I was actually feeling proud of him. Sitting on the metal chair, I waited for her. I did imagine a lot, how she would look in a fancy dress. My head snapped, at the car that stopped at some distance. And the back door opened. She appeared from it. Again, Raven surprised me by matching our outfits. She was dressed in all black. Her hair was parted to the sid

Irene’s POV:I wasn’t sure if it was a mansion or just a house. I was expecting to see a luxurious apartment or a house. When we entered the colony, houses there were beyond my thinking. They had a huge and screaming ‘rich’ vibe. But where the car pulled up, I thought I was in front of some architectural monument. It was huge. Maybe its area was more than the whole area where I used to live. We entered the big yard, through a metal gate. It was opened by a watchman. There was a good distance from the metal gate and the main entrance. I didn't know what to call it. A villa? A mansion. Whatever it was , it had a light brown exterior. A small but wide staircase leading to the main corridor. The main gate was also huge. But plane. Slightly darker in shade. The car door was opened by a man who I thought was a worker there. He offered his hand to me. My feet were bare, I looked at my feet and then looked at him. But before I could take his hand, Kian appeared in front of m
A Contractual Love 42
Kian’s POV:Well, I did skip breakfast in the morning. In hope, to have it with her. Also I didn’t want to wake her up. In the meantime, I did some social media scrolling. I was in my room. When I heard some sound from hers I decided to finally make breakfast for two. I wanted to hear from her, if she slept well or not. She wasn’t expecting me, something I noticed by her shocked look. Her eyes were still puffy. Somewhat messy hair. Her morning look was something I didn’t know I needed to look at. Like a wildflower, she was pure. Her natural complexion was olive. And it looked like honey bleeming in the little peak of the light. Breakfast went well. And the moment I suppose we were going to kiss. She arrived. Mona. It would not be a lie if I said I was upset to see her like that. She was acting like a brat. She was just acting on her ego. The moment she disrespected Irene I did give her a shut up call. And when she didn’t stop, I grabbed her by her arm and dragged her out of my ho
A Contractual Love 43
Irene’s POV:To say I was nervous was an understatement. My legs were practically shaking. I was expecting this. Being this nervous. All eyes on me. Faint whispers, behind me. I decided to keep my head down, not to look at them. To see how they were despising me. My final research for my compulsory course work was still supervised by that bastard. There was no way I was going back to work with him. So, I had decided to visit my dean’s assistant to sort out the issue. My walk through the hallway was swift paced. But the hallway was long. I knew there were a thousand allegations that were directed at me. Not only the incident that happened last time, but my pictures were out now. I was confirmed to be the one seen with Kian. I was not sure how people were actually perceiving all this. The notice board was full as usual. It was not intentional to pretend to look at it. The name of Professor Matteo was being said a lot, as I overheard some whispering. My eyes glanced at the paper sheet
A Contractual Love 44
Kian’s POV:“Wife-,” she said to break the silence that had prevailed since we sat in the car. “Don’t you think, it is not very believable,” her eyes narrowed. “It makes sense that you are living with me.” I muttered, as my eyes were still on the road. “Hmm. you are right. I forgot. Raven told me I was going to be your wife so I had to live with you.”“Actually, I just called you wife so that you can live with me.'' It was unintentional. But it sounded somewhat cheesy. I ignored how her eyes burned my skin for a whole minute. “Did you- did you do something about the incident I told you about that night?” my head snapped in her direction. Her eyes were expressionless. “I did. A lot,” my eyes were back on the road. She stayed silent. So did I. I may look calm. But I was dying with curiosity from inside to know what was she thinking? Was she happy? Was she sad?Raven did tell me that he confirmed through his resources that things did go as planned. No one touched her. No one talke
A Contractual Love 1
Kian's POV:I was walking through the hallway. Media , fans ,and investors were waiting for me to congratulate me for the award I just received. Body guards, manager and my buddy Raven were surrounding me. When I reached the door, it opened. Camera flashes attacking everyone’s eye. Fangirls shouting out my name. This place was a mess. Reporters were throwing all their curious questions at my face.I really didn't want to deal with this drama and wanted to go straight to my lavish car and be at home in my bed. But then Raven whispered more like in declaring tone:"We have to interact with them, we are already in-". He paused, I looked at him. He signalled me by showing me his sheepish eyeS. I sighed, to show how frustrated I was. Then a voice came from the crowd."Mr. Kian, how do you feel , you have won the biggest award of the year. Who do you want to thank"I turned to look for the person who asked . I didn’t find the person in the huge crowd and camera flashes but answered any way
A Contractual Love 2
Kian’s POVMy headache was almost gone when I woke up. The weather felt pleasant, when I slid the curtains from the window. Of course I had missed the morning bliss, it was almost lunch time. When I walked in the living room, everything was at its place. The mess I created last night was cleaned up by the housemaid, who was paid enough to never question anything. I sat on the couch. Noah, my cook appeared in front of me:“ Would you like to have breakfast Sir?”“Just a cup of coffee”I answered vaguely. He went back after he heard my order. I sighed, resting my head against the couch. Empty was all I felt like. I was too honest inside out. The roughness that people always felt in my personality was the reason for my strange kind of music. I never understood why it was so necessary to write things about love, when all that matters to the world is money,wealth and status. But this ugly world wanted me to be a hypocrite as it was itself. Even if I tried, I knew nothing about love and aff
A Contractual Love 3
Irene’s POV“ I-uhh” I stumbled at my words, for an unknown reason. “Hmm?”“I saw this advertisement about a junior assistant. I was wondering if you are still hiring.”“Oh I see, you are here for that job” he eyed me head to toe.I was not dressed very appropriately for a job interview. I came straight from work, more like fired from the work so I was in my jeans and had worn a very baggy T-shirt. His style of checking me out confirmed to me that I was definitely not getting the job. But somehow he seemed interested.“Can I ask you, who are you?” I asked to break the awkward silence.“Oh I am in the hiring team, my name is Raven” he offered his hand, which I took very hesitantly.“Is it okay if I interview you” he asked with a very non professional smile, that showed me some red flags. I was fired from that cafe job today because some creepy customer was being too touchy. And no matter how confident I was, physical touch always scared the hell out of me. And I caused a mess by spilli
