Chapter 3~ Sunshine

RAVEN 

I so wanted to kick this guy in the place where the sun doesn't shine. Surely he is handsome, breathtakingly gorgeous with his electrifying eyes but his personality makes all of them dull in front of me. His personality sucks. In a way I'm thankful to him for saving me from this wedding but I'm fucking pissed off at him for shooting my brother and marrying without my will. 

I would have said a screaming yes if he had taken his sweet time pursuing me and considering that I recently had a breakup. Surely Noah said a lot of things about him being dangerous but come on, I'm used to the way mob bosses work and deal with others. It surely can't get worse than killing. 

"You may kiss the bride."

Oh hell no! No matter how tempting his lips are, I'm not kissing this bastard untill he apologizes to me for being so rude and obnoxious. 

I turned my face to the other face and heard a throaty chuckle. He kissed my temple, making my heart flutter in that way. 

And I started feeling so embarrassed of how I cried a while back. I'm not gonna lie that I was terrified with these many people. I know I'm used to them but sometimes sudden surprises give you a heart attack.  

"Let's head to the bureau, sunshine."

"Ajax, you fucker. Leave her. Why are you hell bent on ruining her life? Why can't you just leave her alone?" 

I was also curious. I want to know why this man is so hell bent on marrying me. My brother has never been so afraid before. Whatever shit they talked a few minutes back didn't make it through my thick skull. 

"She has been mine ever since she was born, Noah. I don't need to give you any reason why I want her. You know better than anyone else."

My brother quieted down at this. He didn't talk and just stared at him. His eyes didn't show any emotion rather than fury and anger. And soon he picked me up in a bridal style. 

The next hour was a blur of incidents. Without even leaving the car, he got his men to get the wedding certificate and books. And then the car stopped at his mansion. 

"Welcome home, sunshine." 

That sentence got him a glare from me and without waiting for him, I got out of the car, walking towards the mansion on my own. Surprisingly he didn't stop me and I was too tired to fight or argue with anyone. 

"Good evening, ma'am. I'm Lara, the housemaid. Welcome to the house, ma'am."

Lara has a smile lingering on her face. Even though I wanted to burst on her but again there isn't any fault of her here. So I gave her a nod with a small smile. 

"Lara, me and my wife will sleep away in the evening. You can prepare dinner."

"What the fuck!"

I yelled at him again as he picked me up like a potato sack. Why the hell is he manhandling me? 

"I need to teach you some lessons, wifey. You have become a brat."

Lara's soft giggles resonated in my ears as the demon started climbing the stairs, entering a room. 

I didn't bother to look at the room and as soon as he put me down, I pressed my heel cladded leg on his shoe. That will surely serve the purpose. 

I was utterly shocked at not getting any reaction from him rather he stared at me with an unknown emotion. 

"Don't you feel pain? Stupid?" 

I stomped on his feet once again before removing my heels from there. A small hole was already there on his shoe. I looked up on not getting any reply. Rather a hand wrapped around my waist and pulled me to a hard waist, 

"I missed you so much, sunshine. So much."

He breathed against my hair. For a moment I felt bad for him but something struck my mind and I removed myself from him, 

"Are you my long lost lover or ex that you missed me? Well Mr. Ajax, my ex is an asshole and you are a bigger asshole than me. I don't understand why all…."

The words died in my throat as he pushed me to the nearby wall with a slight pressure on my neck, 

"Don't you dare take that bastard name in front of me. He dared to touch what's mine."

His eyes were a set of blazing fire now. The electrifying blue was consuming me in them. 

"At least he didn't force me into marrying him." 

I muttered and his pressure on my neck intensified. He leaned closer, his mint breath fanning my face, 

"I never forced you sunshine. You will know that little by little."

His words are as mysterious as his. 

"Can I kiss you, sunshine?" 

That sentence caught me off guard but I have a better answer to this. I gave him a smile which gave hope to his barren eyes before scowling at him, 

"I won't even let you kiss my ass."

He chuckled. His throaty chuckle can make any girl go weak on her knees. If he hadn't forced me into marrying him, I surely would have made him my rebound sex or even better my boyfriend. 

"We will see that later on."

He muttered while still looking into my eyes. The eye contest went on for quite a time before my stomach decided to grumble. 

"Go and freshen up. I'll tell Lara to make something light for you."

He said in a low voice and showed me the bathroom. I escaped to the bathroom immediately not being able to handle the intense air which was there a moment back. I stripped down my clothes before entering the shower cubicle. The warm water soothed my tired muscles. I took a long shower before wrapping myself in the robe and coming out of the shower. A beautiful knee length yellow dress laid down on the bed. Without thinking for a second, I put on the dress and surprisingly it fit me so well, it made me shocked. 

After drying my hair, I looked around the room. Just like the demon, the concept of the room decor is also dark. Dark furniture and grayish walls. Shaking my head, I headed downstairs to feed my tummy. 

The table that is set in front of me is anything but light snacks. Every one of my favorite dishes is present there. Looking at my shocked expression, Ajax started talking, 

"Lara didn't know what to make for you so I told her your favorite dishes. She bought a few from outside and cooked a few for you."

Ajax spoke with a small smile. Does this man have split personality disorder? Why does he change his personality every second? At one time he is threatening my brother, forcing me to marry him and the next second he is behaving like a sweet mushy husband. 

Husband??? 

From where the fuck it came?? I need to filter my mind. This guy is dirtying my mind. I need to get out of this mess. Or else this man is going to turn my head into a mess of indecent thoughts.

    RAVENAfter the eerily quiet heavy snacks, I returned back to the room thinking of ways to escape this demon and his clutches. "Ma'am,"I turned around hearing Lara's voice and found her standing outside the door which I didn't bother to lock. "Sir is calling you in his office. He told me to take you there."I simply nodded at her and she started walking leading me towards my doom. Reaching his door, Lara took her leave and I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. A faint husky voice came in and led me to open the door. There he sat in his huge chair behind that mahogany desk. Specs rested on his high bridged nose and his electrifying eyes caught mine. "Why did you call me here?" I asked with an eye roll. My eyes roaming around the beautiful interior of the room. Shelves full of books and a nice cozy area to read the books. "Come and sit here."He motioned me to sit in front of him. I didn't retort back as I want to make peace with him. Maybe he can help me out. "Now t

    RAVEN We walked inside the hospital with his hand on my back. The states that were directed at us were full of different emotions. A few with hatred glares, a few with fearful gazes and a few with jealousy gazes. Ignoring those, we went straight inside the elevator and as soon as the elevator closed, I moved away from Ajax. No matter how I deny it, his touch made me shiver to my core. I could feel the warmth of his hand inside my clothes as well. Before I could make a lot of dirty scenarios in my head, I moved away. "What?" I scowled at him as he stared at me. "You are surely a tease."Though he said it under his breath, I clearly heard that and squinted my eyes at him. Before I could argue back, the elevator opened and I was back in his arms again. Well fuck my life!!Ignoring the tingling sensation, I made a fine fast walk towards the cabin.Giselle had woken up a week back. Hopefully it wasn't a major coma.

    RAVEN "We are not sleeping on the same bed."I folded my hands over my chest but quickly put down as his gaze went towards my heaved chest. "We are sleeping on the same bed, sunshine."He said in his casual tone and carried on correcting the blanket. After the dinner in the restaurant and a soft mushy conversation, we went back to his house and now we're arguing over if we are gonna sleep on the bed together or not. "We are inside the closed door. Why do I need to sleep on the same bed as you?" He sighed for the umpteenth time and looked at me with intense eyes. "Raven, you surely heard the saying. The walls have ears. You don't definitely want me to take a risk. And it's not like I'm gonna eat you up. It's a give and take relationship, sunshine. Nothing more."Right! I huffed and went to the left side of the bed and laid down. Covering myself with the blanket till my face. I heard a throaty chuckle and the bed beside me dipped down. He also went under the blanket,"Goodnight, su

    RAVEN "Why is 'S' written on your chest?" My eyes bored on the tattoo on his chest. "Someone close to me."He said in a drowsy state.That one sentence surely made me hurt but I'm an expert at hiding my emotions. I don't need to feel hurt. It's a simple fling of 6 months. I shouldn't involve myself so much into it. Lara brought the first aid and immediately went back to get a bowl of water and a cloth. I waited till she returned and stared at Ajax who's eyes were closed but he wasn't unconscious. He dies or lives, it shouldn't concern me then why am I so bothered with his wound? Before I could think of these weird emotions and sentiments, Lara returned back with a bowl of water. I immediately dipped the dry cloth in the water and squeezed it before dabbing it on his wounded place. He hissed out loud and held my wrist. "Ajax, it will hurt a bit. Let me do my work."He opened his eyes a little bit and then pulled me on his lap. Thankfully, I was wearing shorts with a shirt. "Do it

    AJAXFear gripped my heart like a chain as Raven fell down on me. Her eyes closed tightly. My bandaged arm already started bleeding as I fell on my right side. "Sunshine, are you okay?"She wasn't opening her eyes. I cursed loudly and stood up with her in my arms. I hurried towards the hospital with her in my arms. The doctor present there immediately took her inside the ER. I stood outside the room waiting for my sunshine. What if I wasn't there today? What if before I could push her away, the car hit her? What if she left me for the second time? What if…..My train of thoughts stopped as a hand was placed on my shoulder. I looked at Noah who was looking at me with a worried look. But I had nothing but anger running in my veins at the moment. So I did what I found appropriate. I punched square on his jaw. "What the fuck, Ajax?" "How the fuck you call yourself a brother when you can't even protect her? I told Mark to go away as she was talking to you. I wasn't ever going to invad

    RAVENA week or two had passed with me living in Ajax and truly speaking, I'm damn attracted to this man. After the little intimate scene that day, I couldn't keep my eyes off this man. My gaze would be stuck at him whenever he would come out of the washroom with only a towel wrapped around his torso. I would admire him everytime he would stand near the balcony and talk to his employees. His muscles bulged out everytime he would hold me from reaching my height of ecstasy. His spicy cologne would lure me to sleep after our makeout every single time. I have become very demanding nowadays. I would demand anything and everything from and he would agree to it in a heartbeat. All these small things were making my heart flutter and I couldn't help but wonder how he would feel to be loved by this man. Yes, love. I'm jealous of the woman who got all his love. The woman whose name starts with s. The woman he will marry after our six months agreement. I have started liking Ajax and I know if

    RAVEN Ajax held my hand tightly, leading me towards the stage. After the little encounter in the balcony, Ajax kissed me like no other. The kiss was soft and sweet. No tongue involved, no desires involved. For a moment I thought he was kissing me with love. But I know we have a long way till love. "Will you dance with me, Mrs. Ajax?" He raised his eyebrows at me offering me his hand once we stood on the stage. "After you, Mr. Ajax."I put my hand on his and we started dancing to the tunes of the soft piano played by the pianist. His hand wrapped around my waist occasionally squeezed it as he pushed me closer to him. He would kiss the crown of my head suddenly, giving a rise of spark to my needs. After our small dance, we had our dinner there and started off for home. I liked the sound of the word home now. Ajax helped me take off my jewelers before he pushed me inside the washroom to get changed into comfortable clothes. I whined a little but he was adamant saying that I'm too t

This man had a fucking panic attack yesterday and now he is acting like it's fucking normal. "Lara will pack your bags.
