Her Deceitful Husband

‍‍‍Third person's P.O.V

The scene opens in a grand mansion owned by Mr. Smith and is one of the town's most lavish and magnificent buildings.

Two families were sitting in a grand living room.

"It's a pleasure to have you here, Mr. Richard," said Mr. Smith while welcoming them.

"Thanks for this heartwarming welcome Mr. Smith." Mr. Richard replied.

"Our boy seems to be in a hurry, is everything okay?" Mr. Smith asked, noticing the expressions of Mr. Richard's son.

"Of course, he is absolutely fine. Nothing to worry about. Hah! you know the youth today." Mr. Richard replied while giving his son a cold stare.

Mr. Smith laughs at Mr. Richard's way of scolding his son.

While Mr. Richard's son was busy texting someone, so to change the subject Mr. Richard asked, "Where is our would-be daughter-in-law, Mr. Smith ?".

At that very moment, a girl enters, holding a tray of cocktails, and regards Mr. Richard and his family.

"Here she is, my daughter, my princess 'Adira'." Mr. Smith excitedly introduced her daughter.

Mr. Richard praised her way of greeting.

"Thanks, uncle." Adira replied to Mr. Richard for praising her.

Her sweet and melodious voice still somehow felt distant, made Mr. Richard's son look at her. She was a girl with simplicity. She hadn't wear any makeup or accessories yet she was looking elegant. Her beauty was beyond praise. It seemed that she wasn't excited about this marriage.

Before they could continue, the lights went off and the darkness was hovering the mansion. Mr. Smith calls the security guard to check the electrical system.

After 5 minutes, the power was back. But, surprisingly, Mr. Richard's son was not there anymore and everyone was shocked at his sudden disappearance.

" Where did your son go, Mr. Richard? Did he leave?" Mr. Smith asked Mr. Richard with confused expressions.

"Let me call him, Mr. Smith. He has fear of darkness. I mean he has achluophobia. So, it may be possible that he just left to get some fresh air." Mr. Richard explained Mr. Smith with a stammering voice.

" Okay then, you should check on him, Mr. Richard." Mr. Smith replied.

Mr. Richard calls his son without wasting a single second and after few rings, he picks up the call.

"Where are you, Dylan? We all are worried for you." Mr. Richard asks Dylan with annoyance.

"Oh, sorry dad but I was feeling suffocated in the dark. So I thought to leave from there." Dylan replied.

"Come back soon, Dylan. We all are waiting for you my dear son." Mr. Richards trying to act with politeness.

"No, dad, I apologize but, I can't come there now. I cannot handle that bullshit anymore. You also know that I am least interested in family gatherings. You can say them that I am feeling dizziness and need to take some rest." Dylan said calmly.

Mr. Richard looks at the Mr. Smith's face while hearing Dylan's on the call.

"Okay! Take some rest and come back ASAP. We all are waiting." Mr. Richard ordered him.

" No, dad. I cannot. So, I won't. I don't want to marry that girl. She is not even of my type. Just look at her, how simple she is looking. Choose some hot piece for your son who can match my standards while walking beside me." Dylan replied while yawning and disconnects the call.

Mr. Richards went blank after hearing Dylan's reply. He hadn't think before about this situation that how will he manage if this over spoiled son of him will act like this , what will he do to manage this type of situation.

"Why I am having this disgraceful son? Some day he will make me feel ashamed in front of the world. What should I do now to handle this situation." Mr. Richard scolds him subconsciously.

"Is everything alright, Mr. Richard ? When will he come." Mr. Smith asks Mr. Richard with calm expressions.

"Sorry Mr. Smith but he is not coming. He is not feeling well now due to this phobia. But he had promised to meet our daughter Adira soon and he will definitely apologize to her in personal for leaving from here like this ." Mr. Richard tried to take the situation in his hands.

After hearing Mr. Richard's words , Adira felts her blood boiling but somehow she manage to control herelf not to show her anger in front of the guests.

"We are sorry from his side my dear daughter." Mr. Richard apologizes to Adira with a regret look on his face.

Adira nods her head without uttering a single word as she is also not interested in this marriage. She is showing up here just for the sake of her father.

"Okay then we should move to the dining area now. What you say Mr. Richard. We'll fix another meeting for Adira and Dylan." Mr. Smith says calmly to Mr. Richard.

Then both families move towards dining room and have their dinmer peacefully. Mr. Richard leaves from there after that.

In Richards's Mansion

"This guy has become a big trouble for all of us, just look at him, how could he sleep so soundly?" Mr. Richards shouted angrily.

"Listen, Robin, we can't handle him anymore. We have to tell him the reason why we are forcing him to get married ASAP." Mrs. Richard said calmly.

"Yes, we are left with no choice now. We have to reveal our family's secret to him. Then he will definitely understand our point." Mr. Richards said to his wife while sitting beside Dylan.

As soon as Robin agreed to share that secret with Dylan, he opened his eyes with a devilish smirk on his face.

"If now you have decided to share your secret with me, then what are you guys waiting for? C'mon, start speaking and tell me our family's deepest secret." Dylan said to his parents excitedly.

Dylan was looking at his parents while holding his jaw in between thumb and index finger. Still having the evil look.

"This guy is born with the worst mind in this universe." This thought just passed through Robin's mind when he looked at his son's face.

"Why are you staring at me, dad? Are you feeling nervous? If you're, then let me tell you that you don't have to be nervous while sharing anything with me. I am not a kid. I'll try my best to understand your view and promise to keep that secret between us. I'll never share that secret with anyone else." Dylan said to Robin as he tried his best to convince his dad to share that secret with him.

"I know you are not a kid. But I also know that you are a person with an evil mind. You can use anything and anyone for your own benefits. You'll not even think for once before selling your parents if you had the authority to." Robin said to Dylan irritatingly.

"I know, dad. I know all these things about me. Tell me something new. And by new meant ' Our Family's Secret'." Dylan said with a devilish smirk on his face.

"I'll tell you about that secret. But firstly, you have to promise me that you will marry Adira." Robin said to Dylan while putting the condition in front of him.
