2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hello... hello?" Troy blinked several times in utter confusion as he heard the click sound of the line being cut. "She cut the call already?" He frowned looking at the phone's screen, which had his picture as a wallpaper. This was an year old picture of him standing topless for the playboy magazine.
"Now what the hell is wrong with her?" Troy frowned and then walked out of the office instantly, wiping away the sweat from his forehead. The only person Troy was afraid of was his grandmother, Mrs. Herarld Dawson, his only living family. Troy was closest to her grandmother ever since he was born and perhaps that is why she was the only person who could control the untammed tiger.
Troy walked out of the luxurious building, walking straight towards the exit door. "Bring the car. Right now!" He looked at the middled aged guard standing next to the door, dressed in a uniform, who nodded his head and rushed towards the parking area of the gigantic building. In anot

"Marry?" Troy looked at the old lady's crying face. Her cheeks were flushed and she had clutched her hands together very tightly, as if in deep distress. "I... I ... don't feel too well. Call the family doctor... I..." The lady suddenly clutched her chest muscles and frowned as if in deep pain. "What?? Grandma!??" Troy stood up on her feet holding the lady's hand, while he instantly pressed the tiny intercom lying on top of the fireplace. "Yes ma'am?" A lady's voice errupted instantly and Troy screamed at the top of his voice. "Doctor! Something is wrong with grandma. She is in pain. Come fast to her room." Troy tightly held the old lady and looked at her pale face. Suddenly her flushed cheeks had gone pale and she had closed her eyes while her lips were parted slightly. "What is happening grandma? Don't worry the doctor is coming." Tears dropped down from Troy's eyes as he looked at his unresponsive grandm

"What? Right now? You need to rest grandma, we can do this later too." Troy held the old lady's shoulders trying to make her lie down again. His heart was pumping rapidly, as the mere thought of marrying an ugly girl like Eva, wanted to make him throw up."No, it cannot wait. Take me there, if you care about my health even a bit... cough... cough..." The old lady looked at him with pleading eyes and Troy let out a loud sigh."Fine. I shall tell the staff to get the wheelchair." Troy wiped the sweat from his forehead. His life was about to take a sudden upside down twist and he had a very bad feeling about it. "I hope she refuses to marry me. She is now my only hope."One hour later......Inside the palace, the royal family consisting of Diana and Eva were standing at the entrance of a gigantic hallway, were greeting the guests happily. Eva was ratger sulking and was dressed in a black dress as if attending somebody's funeral. Diana was

"Oh dear! Thank you! Finally, I see some ray of hope for our royal palace. I shall go and tell Mrs. Herarld instantly. She is eagerly waiting for your reply." Freda kissed Eva rapidly on her cheek and rushed towards the corner of the room, where Troy was standing alongside his grandmother.Eva let out a deep sigh and turned to look a giant painting of her parents, which was once gifted to royal palace by a Turkish king. "I don't know, what I am doing but all I know is that I have to win back the royal palace, the company and also Rick. There is no stepping back now." Eva murmered softly, and a tear dropped down from her eye. She hated Troy and had always dreamt of marrying Rick. "Of course, he doesnt live me but is marrying me under pressure. I shall make sure I marry him under my terms and conditions."Meanwhile.....Freda rushed towards the two of them, in much excitement. Troy was pretty sure that Freda had come to reject the proposa

Troy hesitated for several seconds and looked at Eva in confusion. He did not know, if he could confide in with her."It is alright. I am equally unhappy about marrying you. You can tell me whatever has happened with you. We are in this together." Eva shrugged her shoulders casually and pouted her lips.Troy looked at her for a few seconds and let out a deep sigh. "It is my grandma. She wants to see me married and she has had several panic attacks due to my deeds. But, what do I do? I don't want to get married and let go off my freedom. I love my life and I don't even believe in this marraige institution in first place. But, I am scared that if I disagree to her, she will have a heart attack." Troy spoke in one breath and let out a deep breath."I see. I had already guessed it, looking at your grandmother. I empathize with you. Marrying somebody you hate is the worst nightmare and breaking up with somebody you love is worse." Eva looked at Troy in much disgust.

Troy was stunned at the girl's confidence. She looked too ugly and yet she wanted an assurance that a man like him, would not make advances at her. "Oh good! Finally I managed to convince you princess." Troy spoke up sarcastically."So.... what other things do I want?" Eva spoke up in a pensive mood, totally ignoring Troy's sarcasm. "Hmm.. I want you to reject the deal with Diana and instead, I want to handle the company myself. Don't sell the company to her and let me handle it as your legally wedded wife." Eva turned to look at Troy in much hope."Ok. It is just one of several hundereds of companies. You can handle it whatever way you want to." Troy nodded his head in approval. "But on one condition. You shall never interfere in my personal life. Also.... you will never fall in love with me."Eva let out a loud yawn looking at Troy. "You look like you have not read a single book in your life. Why the hell do you think I wilk fall in lov

"It is not like we will be married forever. After Diana is out from the palace, my work is done. Maybe in a year or so, we can file a divorce. I can be declared the queen while you have already satisfied your grandmother's wish. After divorce, your grandmother will not push you to marry again atleast for a year. So, maybe we can sign this contract for a year and then see how things work out after a year." Eva shrugged her shoulders as if stating a very simple theory. "Hmmmm.." Troy nodded his head in approval simply impressed by the girl. "I must say, I am pretty much surprised by your schemes. You sure have convinced me girl. The deal is on!" Troy stood up on his feet and offered his hand to the girl as a formal handshake. "Deal is on!" Eva lightly shook the man's hand and they both nodded there heads as if having completed a formal meeting. "So when do you want to get married?" Eva looked at the man in curiosity, when suddenly there was a bit of commotion fro

Herarld gave such a warm hug to the girl that it instantly reminded her of her mother. It had been several years, since she had felt this kind of love and warmth from somebody. "Thank you so much grandma. You are so loving." "You are my daughter in law, and my dream come true. How can I not love you?" The old lady kissed her hands agian and agian. Eva's heart sinked thinking what would happen when the old lady will hear about there divorce. "Thank you grandma. We need to go to the market now, since the wedding is just two days ahead." "Of course my darling." Herarld turned to look at Troy in much excitement. "Take her to Macy's and buy her the most beautiful gown ever seen on a bride." "Sure grandma. That is what I have planned." Troy nodded his head slightly. He refrained from rolling in eyes because Eva was no where near beautiful and forget considering her as the most beautiful bride. He just wanted that the girl should be atleast prese

"Hmmm... I understand. And to answer your question, I was devastated after my father died. I too had nobody to confide so instead I started to look for ways to distract my mind. Girls, sex, alcohol was the only way out. I was already spoilt with excessive wealth at my disposal but my father's death made me realize how fickle my life is. So..." Troy paused for a few seconds as if trying to gather courage. "So... I wanted things and people who do not give me a heartbreak. Things who give me pleasure and nothing else. I cannot bear to have another heartbreak, so I have become nothing but shallow. And, I am very happy this way. Marriage, love, relationships bring nothing but sadness and heartbreak one or the other day. So, it is best to live a free life in this world." Troy halted at a red light and turned to look at Eva who was carefully looking at him already."Hmm.. This is a very different side of you. But I do undrlerstand how it feels. My hideout is library.

Troy rapidly walked towards Eva, while everyone in the hall was now staring at him in confusion. He quickly sat besides Eva, who had now tears streaming down from her eyes. "Don't cry Eva and listen to me very carefully. There is something that I found out about Diana which, I have not told you. I wanted to have a few more days, but I guess I will have to do it right now."Eva looked at him in confusion, wiping away her tears. Troy had now held both her hands and was looking at her in much concern."What is it Troy?" She frowned hard, looking straight in his eyes."I don't want you to know this when everyone else knows about it, so I am just telling it to you right now. Diana.. Diana.. killed your mother... she did not die of a cardiac arrest... and.. also.. your father. She is also stealing away all the royal ornaments and properties very cleverly, and handing them over to her greedy adoptive mother." Troy spoke in one breath looking sadly in her ey

Suddenly the lights of the entire hall were dimmed and everybody was startled."What is happening Troy?" Eva looked around her in much confusion as she could now hardly see anything."Don't worry. It must be some electricity defect. They must be fixing it very soon." Troy gently held the girl's hand as he too turned to look around him. He knew something was not correct as such an electricity failure had never happened before. Several people had turned on the flashlights of the hall, and were whispering amongst themselves.Troy waited for a few more seconds and he was about to get up from his seat to talk to his staff when suddenly the gigantic white screen in front of them, lit up.Everyone turned to look at the document that was displayed on the screen and gasped in shock."Troy! This is our marriage contract." Eva gasped in shock holding his arm tightly in nervouseness.Troy too was taken aback for a few seconds as

"Help!! Somebody help!!" Eva had no choice but to hold her dress tightly with both her hands. This gave a chance to Rick to come even closer to the girl. He planted a kiss on her naked shoulder, while his hands again travelled to her naked back. "Come to me Eva. I will fuck you so good that you will totally forget about Troy." Rick whispered in Eva's ear, lightly biting her ear lobe. "Move away from me you moron." Eva kicked the man's foot with her heels. "Arghhhhh!!!" Rick screamed in pain, leaving the girl instantly. Eva tried to run away towards the door, when suddenly a strong arm grabbed her waist and yet again she was pulled closer to his frontal body. Eva was slightly lifted in the air, while he pressed her back close to his chest muscles. "Leave me!!!! Help!!! Help!!" Eva screaned at the top of her voice, as Rick's hand went upto her left breast. She was holding her dress tightly, while Rick was grinning and trying t

Diana smirked as she knew that her work in the party was done. She quickly got up on her feet, and walked towards the exit door rapidly, making sure nobody really spots her. As soon as she crossed a well suited man she looked at him from the corner of her eye. "Keep me informed about what happens next." "Yes madam." The man nodded his head slightly and walked inside the gigantic hall, keeping an eye on the three makn targets. "I need to use the restroom." Eva spoke softly in Troy's ear. "Ok. Do you want me to come with you to the restroom?" Troy smiled whispering back in her ear. It was evident from there faces that the two of then were extremely happy today. "It is alright. I will take just five minutes." Eva nodded her head in a 'no' as the two of them walked towards a door at corner of the hall. "Ok then... I shall see if grandma has eaten something or not." He smiled and then walked in a different direction heading towards the old la

"You have?" Eva looked in his teary eyes, wiping away another tear that fell from his eyes. "Yes Eva. Ever since I have gotten married to you, I had fallen in love with you. It crushed my heart to see you with Rick but I wanted you to have an independent decision." Troy smiled caressing her cheeks softly. "I am so lucky Troy. Thank you." She hugged the man tightly, planting her head on his chest. They both did not know, if it was the effect of alcohol that was making them speak the truth, but all they knew was that this was the night of no filter. This was perhaps the most overwhelming night they had ever experienced. Troy too hugged the girl lovingly and everything around them faded away. They could not hear the music or the people talking around them, and were totally engrossed in each other. Rick on the other hand was now sitting on a couch, totally drunk. Just then somebody sat down besides him and Rick turned

Eva looked at him with love filled eyes and instantly planted her hand on his palm. "The pleasure is all mine, my darling husband. Who can say no to a man this handsome?" She got up from her seat and they both walked hand in hand towards the dance floor.Suddenly everybody's attention was diverted towards the newly wedded couple, who were standing on the dance floor looking in each other's eyes."He looks so happy with her." An old lady spoke up, looking at Troy's grandmother."They look so much in love." A man in crowd commented looking happily at the two of them.Suddenly the music changed and a beautiful romantic song started playing."This magic moment So different and so new Was like any other Until I kissed youAnd then it happened It took me by suprise I knew that you felt it too By the look in your eyesSw

Eva had not even realized at that moment that she had just rebuked Rick and had instead preferred to be with Troy. Troy too was only bothered about Eva and her comfort and was least bothered about anybody else in the party. They both walked hand in hand and sat down on the bar chairs, happily talking to each other.Eva had just gulped down the chilly snack, made of cheese and onions and was savouring the taste of it, while Troy was now ordering vodka shots for the two of them. "Hmmm.. these cheese and onions snacks are so good." Eva cleaned her lips with a napkin, while Troy fed her another snack."Here try this one. The granny's staff makes amazing food. You will love this." He planted a soft and slimy snack inside Eva's mouth which melted straight away on her tongue. "Umm... this is so good." Eva closed her eyes as the entire delicious fluids of the snack travelled on her tongue.Troy was simply smiling looking at her cuteness as she happil

Eva nodded her head polietly, smiling looking at the elderly man."I am so glad to meet you Eva. And I am equally happy for my little boy here. God bless you my child." He lightly patted Eva's head and turned to look at Troy. "Troy... you have such a beautiful wife. And you both have nothing but pure love for each other." He smiled happily looking at the two of them.Eva blushed a little while Troy smiled graciousely at the man. "Thank you sir.""I am a man of experience. I can spot pure love from a mile away." The man patted Troy's shoulder and raised his wine glass towards him. "Come on! Pick up your glasses. It is time to raise th

"Oh Goodness." Troy's mouth fell open as he looked ahead inside the gigantic hall. Right in the middle was sitting his grandmother on a luxurious mahogany chair, with her lady doctor by her side. She was dressed beautifully in a long black colored embroidered dress, with a beautiful diamond necklace around her neck. Her hair were tied in a neat and classy bun, while her face showed nothing but immense happiness.She too was clapping happily for the couple, looking at them with tears in her eyes."Gosh!" Eva gulped in nervouseness and she tightly clinged to Troy's elbow. Troy patted the girl's hand and turned to look at her. "We are in this together. We have survived so much together, so this is just a party. If you feel nervous, we can just head to the bar and gulp down a few vodka shots to loosen you up. Ok?" He smiled looking at the girl."Ohk." Eva smiled back looking at Troy. Soon they both were walking towards the door, and could h
