"Perfect I can bet Em,The bachelor billionaire is going to take you to his bed directly."Zade ,my designer friend shrieked scanning my body like x-rays.
I again saw myself in the giant mirror.She wasn't wrong at all.The rusty red dress stuck to my curves revealing my worked out body.
"Zade your imaginations are too good to be decent."I rolled my eyes but her bold statement ignited heat on my cheeks.
"How I am gonna pull it off from my body."I said unsurely because the dress was like a fit rubber glove .
"All you have to do is just pull down the zipper and these straps unless the hotpant billionaire rip it off himself."Zade pointed at the dress,"Oh my Jesus! Look at yourself."She exclaimed clapping her hands.
I rolled my eyes on her comment.As if she knew in which circumstances this marriage was happening.
I examined myself in the mirror.
Indeed, the dress was one of the masterpiece created by her for me.It reached just beneath my knees.Hours later a team of my personal stylists did my hairstyle and make up.I felt like running away somewhere.
It was too fast for me to adapt myself with the fact.I am going to be married to a stranger whom I never seen .
I could compare myself with the last centuries Indian matrimony.
After long two hours,they allowed me to look at the mirror.Firstly it took me a moment to recognize my .They definitely did a magic .
"Amanda I think you got to go now.Its already 6:45 pm.It will take you around an hour to reach at the restaurant in a busy New York traffic."Zade reminded me of the meeting with the son of Knights family that our families fixed for us.
I sighed exasperatedly.There is no way to escape from this mess.I grabbed my Gucci bag and phone, with least interest I walked out of my room and headed to the living room where my grandparents were waiting for me.
For a moment,they seemed stunned probably calculating that they were imagining.
"Oh my Princess."Ma walked briskly and hugged me in her strong arms.I observed moisture in the corner of her eyes.
"I am so happy my doll is going to meet her future husband."She sniffed while smiling .
My eyes travelled in the direction of my Papa.He held an expression of admiration though he didn't vocalize his feelings.I could feel his happiness in his magnetic eyes.
"Good bye Ma bye Papa."I kissed their cheeks and left in my personal black Bugatti.Generally black colour is associated with men,I found this theory ridiculous.I have a taste for black,in fact I am obsessed with black.
My driver started driving to the restaurant where the most unwanted surprise of my life would be meeting me.
I threw my head back on the soft material of the seat .
My phone pinged with messege gaining my attention.The sender was unknown which increased my curiousity.
My fingers quickly pressed the read option but later on my eyes widended .
"Miss Greene
You supposed to be present at the decided venue.I hope your grandparents told you about.I expect your presence there at sharp 7 pm.Do not be late."(Davian Knight)
"What!How can he command me like this.Jerk Moron bastard rich ass.."I threw my phone on the seat.I stared outside the glass shield .All these years of my life,I took my life's decisions but at this moment I can feel myself with shackles around me.
[ Davian ]
Frustration ,anger and despair that's all I am feeling right now sitting in my car.My mother told me this morning that our families fixed an unofficial date .
Mercy on me!
I thought about my future which is being planned by my grandfather's wish.My family thinks we would make a great relationship together.It was a complete facade.She is practically a nobody for me.Morever ,she is chosen by my grandfather ,it means she may be no less than a nerdy.
I always keep women to fulfill my bodily desires.Those all are from high status with hormone provoking figures.But I can let it happen any soon.Honestly I've not thought to settle down this soon for few more years.
I will ask her to step back and say no to this marriage.Yes I am going to warn her.There is no woman ,who can tame or control the playboy Davian Christopher Knight.
I parked the car in the basement of the restaurant where my date was waiting for me.A man ran up to me.I recognized him as I'd been here few times before.
"Good evening Sir."He bowed with folded hands.
I silently nodded at him.
"Sir please this way."He showed me the way to the entrance humbly.
With least interest,I followed him.I like the place and it's marvelous interior.We got inside the elevator.I guess my parents are on a mission to send me in asylum because the upper floors were reserved storeys basically for couples or business meetings.
When the elevator door opened ,I noticed the lights were dim giving the environment a romantic taste.
As he opens the giant glass door for me and left the place.My throat went dry looking at the woman who was busy on a phone call.Perhaps she is too busy to feel my presence.
Is she the one,my future wife!
For a moment I forgot to breathe.Her perfect body is quite noticeable through her fitted dress but most attractive her eyes and her smile like an angel fallen from the God's heaven which resulted bulging in my pants.S he is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen or meet in my life.
Holy f**k ,she is irresistible but remember she is behind your money dude.Her family only wants money from us or how she agreed to marry someone complete stranger without any problem.
I groaned and tap my shoe on the wooden floor to grab The Princess' attention.It worked for my luck.She snapped her head in my direction.Her beautiful smile suddenly disappeared.I frowned because somewhere I don't like her stiff face.
She whispered something over the phone and inserted her phone in her clutch.
I nervously walked upto her with arrogance to warn her.She is going to play with hot iron.
"Umm hello."She whispered while looking at her knitted fingers.
"Hey."I arrogantly pronounced.
There was an awkward silence between us for a minute or two.
"Please sit."I briefly signalled her .She blinked at me but lateron sit on her chair.
"Thanks."She slowly spoke.Her sweet voice tingled in my heart.
Our drinks were served and again we were sitting alone.
"I want to talk about this marriage mess."We almost stated together.
***********************************
[ Emerald ] I reached at the restaurant quite earlier.For my luck the arrogant jerk wasn't around so I decided to scroll through my business calls as there was not even a single fly to entertain my company. It didn't took me when someone coughed.The husky merely audible voice erupted a current in my spine.I turned my head only to find a tall intimidating manly figure standing a few strands away from me. Ohh freak he is dead handsome! It wasn't lie,honestly he had a supermodel like body not less than Adonis himself.His perfectly sculptured face with a pair of thunderstorm like eyes.The way his thin lips were pressed together. Despite not wanting to,I couldn't help myself ogling him.His feasty body was visible through his tightly fitted business suit.Now I realized why women were ready to throw themselves on him.His presence was electrifying.
[ Emerald ]As rays of morning sunlight rested on my face,I slowly opened my eyes feeling a sharp headache.I blinked few times to adjust my vision and realized I dozed off in my home office after a dramatic last night incident.I could hear chirping of birds from a close distance.The cold evening breeze soothed my pain but the ache in my heart could not be healed.I kept thinking about Papa's decision.Its true,we were going through a financial crisis as few of our investors pulled their shares but I was trying my best to persue more investors in our company.Whatever decision had been taken last day,would effect my life greatly.Better or worse.Well I expect the latter option.Living with Davian Knight will be the greatest challenge.My phone went off grabbing my attention.I looked for my phone and found it on the edge of my study table.It was already 10:00 AM,I won
Emerald"Tell me what is bugging you Marshmallow?"Ethan gave me a curt look sipping his shot of vodka.My heart churned listening to the endearment he gave me once he discovered my obsession for marshmallows.I averted my gaze on the dancing bodies unable to form a proper excuse.How do I gather the courage to break his heart.He has been there for me in my toughest phase,he was there when I had gone through depression,he helped me to overcome my fears and nightmares I used to have since my parents died.He gave me a new life.And what am I repaying to his sacrifices?A betrayal to save my coward ass."Em now you're scaring me."He stroked my cheeks.I melted into his warm touch and prevent the lone tear falling from my eyes."I am fine-it just work load and my Papa's sickness taking a toll over me."I pressed
Warning : Mature content in the in the last paragraphs.Please skip that part if you're not comfortable. ⚠️⚠️⚠️EMERALDStartled,by the unexpected comment from a stranger I craned my tipsy head to get a glimpse of the person.Discreetly I examined his features though his face could not be seen in the dim neon lights.I blinked my ehes few times to insure did I hallucinate Adonis.His icy blue eyes looked more like sapphires.Black satin shirt constricted his rippled muscles.His raven black hairs falling messily on his forehead,Ohh God he is a treat for sore eyes.His facial carves were sharp,well sculpted.Fuck Emerald you prohibited your boyfriend to have a touch of you and here your insane hormones are compelling you to eye rape a stranger.My subconscious scolde
EmeraldI lazily rub my eyes only to clutch my head tightly as a sharp headache shoot in my skull.Did I hit by a truck last night?No I went to a club wirh Ethan and then we got drunk,we danced,he got a call from hospital and then I drunk more to kill the guilt I had been sedimenting and a hot guy offered me one more drink,he had a magnetic aura,I lost myself in his intoxicating presence and---I shot my eyes open and felt not just my head but each muscle of my body were aching like hell as someone prickled me with thousands of needles and I am naked.Wait ! I am naked.Oh Hell I am!I gasped in horror and snapped my head to my other side where a man was lying .His face was dug in the pillow but his bare back was on full display which rose and fell as he snored softly.Few hours ago,I might be moaning under him and the thought disgusted me
Emerald This man doesn't know how to smile. "Hey honey come meet your new family."Grandmother drew me to those persons squeezing my palm.It was an indication that I had to sweety humble in front of them. "Hello Sir."I bowed my head to the eldest man.He was of my grandfather's age but a little fat on his bones. He gave me an amused look before patting my head.He had a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "I am your Grandpa's friend.I hope this old man must have told you."He indicated at my grandfather who nodded his head with a smile. Then I turned to the couple probably my future parents in law.They were looking perfect together. "Hello Sir..Hello Mam.."I nervously greeted them. Oh freak! "Don't need to be formal darling after all you will be our daughter withi
[ Emerald ]My grandma woke me up early in the morning to get ready for the wedding.An army of make up artist,hair stylist and designers under the leadership of Zade made me sit straight for whole three hours.Trust me she took all efforts to transform me into a bride and her hard work worth visible when I stared a new me in the mirror but my heart felt nothing,no excitement for my new life and no hope for love.I am sorry Ethan.I closed my eyes unable to handle the constriction of my heart inside my chest.It pained worse than every time I remember my time I spent with Ethan.How we dreamt for a future near a lake,a log house and our kids.No room for sorrow and pain just us and our happiness."Ma'am it's done.You make breathe now."The girl who tied my corset instructed me.I prevent the forming tears from deceiving me.I can't fall weak for the sak
[ Emerald ] My feet were sore of standing with heels for hours .Currently I was in the car heading towards my new house with my newly husband beside me who actually doesn't consider my presence . It was around eleven in the night after a long hours' reception party and fake pretends of a love marriage I felt completely drained out. All I just wanted to sleep .This marriage brought me nothing but tiredness which wasn't going to fruit into something I could relish. Luckily,his family wasn't living with him much to my own relief.I didn't need to act like a good wife which I couldn't keep for longer. During the whole ride,he was busy scrolling something in his phone I didn't know nor I was keen to poke my nose in his life. I didn't realize when the car entered in a small but beautiful villa making me admire it for its marvelous architecture.He jumped out
[ Emerald ]I laid the little fairy in her crib which was made up of fine mahogany wood with beautiful hamd carving on it."My girl..ohh God how much I love you.."I kissed her little grown black hairs while she was staring me with her black doe blue eyes that filled my heart with warmth of having her so close to me.I slide my hand into my jeans' pocket and took out the same rectangular box which was keeping with me since my childhood.I opened the lid of the box and took out a thin gold chain with a heart shaped locket .It was a token of love and blessings from my father which I have been saving as the reminder of his immense love for me."Baby this is from your Grandpa."I said sliding it in her neck which she grabbed in her tiny hand.Suddenly the door crwaked open and Damien stepped inside with his ver charming smile which had been stuck on his lips sin
[ Emerald ]A week passed and Davian's condition was stable then.We lost all hopes but it wasn't less than a miracle when doctor told us that they saw improvement in him though he still didn't wake up.After visiting Davian in the hospital I went to office.I couldn't miss my work.It was already very hard for me to keep both ends meet though a few days back Damien offered his financial support for my companyBut it offended my self reliance.I brought up my son without anyone's aid and I was able to provide him the best I could within my capabilities.I played with the pen in my hand processing my next decision.My mind again diverged to last evening when Damien came face to face with David.And today I made my mind to put an end to this instability in our lives.Damien needs his father and David deserves some love,which I am not sure Damien would give him and his sons are his last hope.
[ Damien ]Mr. David Knight's eyes landed on me and I could feel he stiffened finding me in the most unexpected place but then his gaze fell on my hand which wrapped securely around Emerald."How it happened?"He asked her, vulnerability in his voice reflected his pain."Olivia Grayson shot him."Emerald replied,her own eyes zeroed on the ICU door."And Davian?"His voice cracked a bit."I..do..don't know."She looked away hiding her tears.I felt suffocated in the presence of the man who fathered me.It was the first time I actually let him come too close to me so I decided to leave before anything could change between us.I still hate the man who ran away from his responsibility and somewhere he is the reason my own mother loathed me."Emerald I'll see you later."I squeezed her shoulder.She raised her head a
[ Damien ]"Hey Dustin is asking for you and Caleb.Please come to see him if possible in the evening.The Knights won't be there."~ Emerald.I read her text messege and threw my phone on the couch of my private room.The faint disco music coming from the club on the ground floor of increased the pain in my head.Who parties in bright day.Of coarse this new generation and some old drunkards.I should meet Dustin.The man helped me a lot to win her back and his lover Caleb too is dying to see him but Dustin stopped him."May I come in?"I heard the most annoying female voice."Won't you come if I say no."I threw my head to other side avoiding the dirty smirk on her face."Well I am standing inside."Like she said,she was standing at the front me."Courtney I apologized a thousands time to Emerald and no
[ Emerald ]"No Chase please put the gun down.She has nothing to do with our matter and she is pregnant."Davian begged the Chase guy."Really thanks for the information now the thrill will be doubled by killing two birds with single shot and Davian Knight rot in living hell for killing another unborn."He laughed and tightened his iron grip on me.My mind stopped functioning.Was he serious?"Please don't kill my baby."I pleaded in my broken voice and coughed badly."Oh kitten say this to your dearest ex husband.He is responsible for your death."He roamed the gun point on my temple."You should feel ashamed of yourself Chase.You are not different from me."Davian said."Why should I be ashamed because I want to punish the sinner of my sister?"The man huffed ."I am not her culprit,she surrendered herself to me on her own will
[Emerald ]"Are you sure he went in the woods of countryside?"I asked Morris the driver."Yes Ma'am .."he assured me while navigating the car in the opposite direction of the city."It is an hour's drive from the our current location.Can you make it in less time?""Sure Ma'am we'll be there in no time.."he answered and the car took an accelerated turn to the deserted lane.My heart was praying for my husband's wellbeing because after getting a death blow from Olivia ,I can bet people may go to any extent in the possessive love.Soon I saw our car piercing lone narrow way in the tall canopies of dense ghostly forest .It kind of gave me cold shiver because no living creature could be spotted all around .I drew my attention back on my lap to avoid the hollow feelings to overpower my timid heart .He drove for more ten minutes when he finally
[ Emerald ]I was trying to peek through the curtains of OT to have a glimpse of my best friend .David wasn't there otherwise I didn't had to do such childish attempt ,he would have permitted me to go inside and see him because doctor took him to complete some formalities and they told us to wait for some more time to meet Dustin as they need to monitor him for a little longer before allowing anyone inside.I stepped back when someone from inside clicked the door open.My heart begun to pump rapidly as by the expression of the nurse,nothing could be said.She glanced at me and then to David and Samantha who were more anxious than me and stormed towards her withincouple seconds."You can meet him now but make sure,he won't get any kind of stress.It may effect his brain."She said in monotonous tone and again went inside along with David.I looked at the glass door
[ Emerald ]It was ten in the night and the silence enveloped the castle in its deadly influence.I was leaning on the window piller staring at the dark sky with few patches of clouds after the rainfall retreated.The buzzing of crickets coming from every direction was the only sound that become my solo companion in the heavy loneliness.Its been two weeks but there was no improvement in Dustin's condition.Every time doctors repeat their same line .Mr. and Mrs. Knight hospital were staying in the hospital for day hours though Davian asked them to stay but his dad told him to look after the business which couldn't be neglected .Still Davian used to be at hospital in the evening hours to late night.Yes Davian.His whole behaviour changed after Dustin's accident.He didn't object my presence in the hospital nor he passed any of his snarky comments or hateful glares which confused me.
[ Emerald ]A wave of sudden churn ran through my spine when I witnessed him standing near the window .His back was facing me as he was talking over the phone while his left hand wad tucked in his pant pocket."Damien your green tea.."I managed to utter between my fluctuate breathing when he turned back and his alpha eyes met with mine.He murmured something to the person he was talking with and slide his phone in his pocket."Are you fine?"he knitted his brows together at me with a questionable gaze.His eyes were calculating .They could read my heart .We stood there in complete silence prevailing in the air.His intense eyes piercing through my skin .They were turning cloudy grey from softer with the blazing fire of desires but didn't utter a single word probably waiting for me to speak.The man knew how to tease me with his killing mysterious emotions."I
