Chapter 4: Engagement Confirmed

Kush’s POV

.

.

.

“Where are you going?”, I asked after observing my pissed girlfriend who just threw her bag on the desk and walked toward somewhere else.

.

“You will get to know.”, She said in a cold tone. Oh no! This is not good. She is not in a good mood and I have to save that prey at whom she is going to attack like a predator, and then I saw her entering Balloon’s classroom. She reached near Sofia, the same brunette who was clinging to me.

.

“Ella…”, I tried to calm her down.

.

“He is mine. Touch him again like that and I will kick your ass.”, She warned, making the girl jump in fear while I sighed. Everyone was looking at us, including Balloon with an evil smirk. God! She will tease me later.

.

“Come on. Time to go, Ella.”, I said dragging my hissing girlfriend.

.

.

A few days later

.

.

“Ahhh!”, I whimpered in pain and Ella hissed in anger.

.

“I told you not to get into an unnecessary fight.”, She glared while wiping my blood from my wounded forehead with a disinfectant.

.

“I couldn’t seat there doing when that bastard was trying to flirt with you. Did you see how he was looking at you as if he was undressing you with his eyes? There was no way I could sit silently after observing his action toward you. I would have killed….”, I couldn’t speak further when a pair of soft lips crashed on my lips. I thought she would peck at my lips as usual, but soon I realized that I was so wrong. She was kissing me for real and without thinking else, I responded back. I took her lips gently, and she tasted like honey against my mouth.

.

I suddenly stopped kissing her, realizing that we are still in school. She blushed a little and lowered her eyes. Wow! This was something new. I have never seen her blushing in this way.

.

She bandaged my head and stoop up to leave from there. “Ella, my head is in pain. Kiss it away.”, I whined and pouted, to which she rolled her eyes.

.

“This is all stupid thing that a kiss can take the pain away.”, She reasoned out, but still, she kissed my bandaged forehead before leaving from there.

.

.

After two years

.

.

“It’s your 18th birthday, Ella, I will surely come to your birthday party and there is no way I can deny this invitation. Do you know your mother personally invited me?”, I shared this with Ella, who was requesting me not to come to her birthday party.

.

“No, you are not going to come there. I don’t know why I am getting the negative vibes about everything. My mom doesn’t like you and I am sure something is cooking in her head. Something nasty or anything.”, She blabbered and panicked.

.

I cupped her cheeks. “Sshhh...Calm down. I know neither your mom like me nor my maa like you. But we have to try to win their hearts, right?”, I cheered her up. Truth to be told, even I am worried about this fact, but I couldn’t tell her the same.

.

“I hate that I am growing old.”, She pouted.

.

“I am happy with the thought that we both are growing old together.”, I whispered in her ear and wrapped my hands around my waist, colliding my lips to hers. She moaned into my kiss, never once feeling tired of my rough lips.

.

“Anyone could see us.”, She said as she separated from me, breathing heavily.

.

“And I don’t give a damn about it.”, I groaned before once again crashing my lips to her.

Camella’s POV

.

.

“Mom, what is going on in your evil mind?”, I asked, reaching my home. I knew she didn’t invite Kush to my birthday party without any reason. She simply rolled her eyes and looked at her nails as if it was the most amazing thing in the world. “Mom…”, I called her, getting irritated with her fake acting.

.

“As you know about Dimitri’s proposal for you, there is not something that I have ever hidden from you.”

.

I stiffened at the mention of the heartless Mafia, who was often given the name of the beast for his evil ways. “And I will reject his proposal at his face”, I shouted angrily.

.

“I haven’t completed my sentence yet, princess.”, My mom said, and I held my breath as I waited for her to continue. “The engagement has been confirmed between both of you, I have already made all the arrangements with Dimitri. And the engagement is set to take place tomorrow on your birthday.”

.

“Mommmm…”

.

“You can thank me later that I am just arranging your engagement with him, right now. Marriage will be scheduled after your 23rd birthday because every queen has to attend a special training for five years after her 18th birthday.”

.

“You can’t do this to me.”, I yelled at her like a helpless person. “I will…”

.

Before I could have said her something, she interrupted me. “You can’t do anything because I have your weakness. See there.”, I followed her eyes and saw Bella, who was hoping out of the car. “Don’t worry, I haven’t kidnapped her. I have just lied to her saying that ‘you need her till your birthday because you were feeling alone as you don’t have any sister.’.”

.

I glared at my mom, who continued speaking. “And I know you won’t play stunt in front of her because you have hidden your little secret from her and her family. Now, better behave like a good girl and get engage with Dimitri without any drama. I want Kush to see all this. I am sure he will immediately leave you when he will realize that you cheated on him.”

.

“Mom, please…”

.

“Be happy that I am just hurting Kush. If you will misbehave, then that poor boy will lose his life.”, saying this, a big smile appeared on her face. “Bella”, She welcomed Bella with a warm hug and I scoffed. “Thank you so much, dear, for coming here.”

.

“Don’t thank me, Aunt Alice.”, Bella smiled, after breaking the hug and ran toward me to give me a hug. Though she is Kush’s younger sister, but she is more close to me instead of Kush. Guess what? The feeling is mutual.

.

“Wow! Your house is so beautiful.”, She whispered in Awe. “Can you give me a tour?”, She asked, looking at me hopefully. I was about to respond when I saw that the main gate opened again. Mom, I and Bella peeped to get a better look.

A couple of vehicles pulled up. These are not our cars for sure. Maybe, mom would have invited someone?

I watched as several big built men executed them, all of whom were most definitely highly trained bodyguards. I continued to watch as the men moved to surround one of the cars and the door slowly opened and a man stepped out. I could see he was not completely grown up, like those bodyguards, but his face still hidden.

Those bodyguards eventually scattered upon something he said, leaving me with a clear view of the strange man. 

.

After a few seconds, he finally turned, and I was faced with the coldest pair of blue eyes I have ever seen. A quiet gasp escaped my mouth, from all the news and details I had heard, this man was most definitely Dimitri, the heartless and merciless beast, the Mafia’s son I was being forced to engage.
