Nina’s eyes widened, seeing that scenario in front of her. He had decorated the entire garden area with roses, candles, different kinds of series light but the thing which grabbed her attention most was that tent which was placed in the middle and was looking like some kind of small and beautiful castle. He had made this place look surreal and dreamy but where he himself was? Nina was just about to call his name when she saw him coming out of that tent and her eyes widened, seeing what he was wearing. “Rican…..” Nina cupped her mouth. She could not believe her eyes as what they were seeing him wearing. He was wearing some kind of uniform which was completely black in colour and even had a bow and a hat. He had dressed up like some kind of royal fantasy character and he was looking just like it. Straight coming out from a fairytale. Nina just blinked at him, still trying to process what she had been seeing in front of her. Her reaction brought a smile to his face. Rican came towards
“And does this man feel like the man of your dreams, mi reina?” he whispered, gazing into her cerulean eyes which got filled with shock after hearing those words from his mouth. How did he know about her dream? She had never told anyone regarding this, not even him then how?“What are you talking about?” Nina lied, looking away from him. She was feeling too embarrassed to even look at him. Her expressions made him smirk. Rican leaned closer to her ear.“I am talking about those dreams which you see every night about me, Ms. Halzen,” he breathed out in her ear, pacing up the beat of her heart. How could this be possible? Her cheeks started heating up. “What happened? Am I saying something wrong?” He teased her more. Swallowing down her saliva, Nina looked at him and decided to show him her bravery.“Yes, you have gotten the wrong information from somewhere, Mr Alfanso,” she snapped at him, trying to play it cool.“I don’t dream about you,” she bluntly lied and it turned his grin more
“Be mine and let me be yours so that no one could part us ever, mi reina,” Nina was taken aback by his proposal. She couldn’t just believe what her ears had been hearing. Did he just propose to her for their wedding? It startled her because Nina had not even slightly expected this from him, especially yet when he was still learning to love her. “Be my life partner, Nina. I will…..” “Do you want to do this just because of what others are going to think of our relationship?” she halted him in the middle. Pain shimmered in her eyes because she thought he was suggesting their marriage all of a sudden in order to give a name to their relationship in front of the world which she didn’t want. She didn’t want him to do anything for her by getting under the pressure of society. She needed him to do everything for her from his heart. “You don’t have to do this to make me happy in front of the world. I can….”he shushed her by placing his index finger over her lips. “I don’t care about what
Cain’s eyes were glaring at her with a vicious malice in his gaze but Nina chose not to react to it anymore as she had no need. None of them worth even any reaction from her, so exhaling a soft sigh, she resumed her walking and was about to walk past him when suddenly Cain grabbed her arm in an extremely violent grip. Nina yelped in pain.“Fucking leave me,” she warned him while trying to snatch her arm from his grip but her words made him smirk cunningly. Cain clutched her arm in a more aggressive grip which started hurting Nina’s entire arm.“So, my fucking uncle is just not only fucking you but he has put some cells in your fucking dumb head too,” he said to her while chuckling at her wickedly. Nina clenched her jaw. “Interesting. My uncle has turned the dumb Nina a lot brave and smart. I guess,” Cain laughed at her.“So…” Cain lifted his hand to touch her face but before he could touch her, Nina kneed him in between his thighs hardly. Cain growled in pain and let go off her arm.
“Nina, Rican……meet my new business partner, Hector Erold and his son, Dimitri Erold,” Seeing Dimitri in front of her, Nina turned startled but her shock became terror when her eyes trailed towards Rican and she found him glowering at Rican. Nina swallowed in fear. “Nina,” Dimitri’s voice made Nina tilt her head to look at him and found Dimitri giving her some confused glances and she knew exactly why. He must have not expected to see her here, especially so close to Alfanso family. Rican clenched his fists when he heard Dimitri taking her name and then coming closer towards her. “You here?” Dimitri asked, standing in front of Nina. She gulped before slowly nodding at him. Their interaction bewildered Riccardo a bit. “You both know each other?” Riccardo asked, making both Nina and Dimitri look at him. “Yes, Mr Alfanso. Me and Nina know each other really well,” Dimitri’s answer boiled Rican’s blood. This fucker was pushing his limits so badly that he knew his control would snap a
“And the only person I am ever going to marry is him, Dimitri,” Nina spoke out in her loud and clear voice. When she and Aniya returned from the kitchen with food for everyone, they found Riccardo trying to part Rican’s hand from Dimitri’s neck. It startled both the women and somehow it hurt Nina that even after she begged him not to do anything irrational here, he still raised his hand at Dimitri. It was until she heard Riccardo saying to Dimitri and his father that she could not marry Dimitri, Nina understood everything and decided to enter into that conversation as it was happening in the first place just because of her.Nina walked towards them while holding that tray of juice glasses. Aniya followed her, who was carrying the plates of snacks. They placed the food and juice glasses on the table and then Nina finally looked at Dimitri. Exhaling a soft sigh, she walked towards him whose gaze was already fixed at her.“Dimitri….” Nina stood in front of him.“I am sorry if this is goi
“I am not going to leave Mr and Mrs. Alfanso alone till their son doesn’t get back to them,” Nina’s words stunned Riccardo and Aniya. They both passed a glance at each other before focusing their gaze back at their son who had still not turned around to look at Nina but Nina’s eyes were fixed at him.“And if you want you can stay here with me,” Nina stated but it was enough for Rican to clench his jaw. Rage blazed up inside him. Slowly turning around, he darted his malicious gaze at Nina. Rican took a step forward in her direction.“This is neither the right time nor the right place to show your fucking stubborness,” he seethed out at her through his gritted teeth and it made everyone present around him understood that he was holding his last string of patience there. “So let’s go,” he tried to drag her with him but she still didn’t move.“No, Rican. I am not going away from here today,” she spoke out. Her determination refused to fade, even after sensing how badly it was triggering h
“Rican has sent it here and has told us to make sure you take your medicines on time,” Riccardo told Nina which made her take her eyes down to look at that pouch of her medicines on the bed. She clutched it in her hand and just gazed at it in complete silence.Riccardo and Aniya glanced at each other as they could clearly feel what might be going inside her heart after all of this. She was at such a fragile stage in her life at such a tender age and on top of it, they knew it was not that easy to cope up with Rican’s thoughts and way of thinking but she was still trying to understand him with her open hearts and full efforts.Exhaling a soft sigh, Riccardo placed his palm over Nina’s head and tenderly patted it.“He loves you a lot, Nina,” Riccardo uttered and his words made Nina take her eyes upward to look at him. Riccardo sat beside her on the bed.“We are his parents. We have seen him growing up and developing all those feelings inside him which a human should have and for that re
