Third point of view

Naomi's father was trying to tell her that she should behave but she ignored him anyway...

She is now sitting in front of Nicholas. He is drinking tea in her study....

He looks intimidating and he have a trimmed beard and looks too professional as compared to her who feels so underdressed today....

And to be honest, she underdressed intentionally, she wanted him to reject her... And she was

behaving all shy and introverted because as per her information, he doesn't like girls like this....

But but!!!! Her efforts are in vain because he will marry her anyway and that to within one month...

Is she ready??

By the way why is he even ready to marry?? He wasn't ready to settle according to the interview last year...

Then!!!

As if he read her mind he answered.

"See Naomi, I want to make things clear before you grow any expectations" She looked up baffled because he was saying it in an arrogant tone....

And he continued "I am not the kind of a person who will settle down so soon. I am just 31 as you know. "

Okay then don't marry, get out man!! She thought

"Why? " She asked instead.

"What? " He answered confused.

"I meant then, why are you agreeing to get married? " She replied

"Because this is what my father wants. " He shrugged and replied.

Although she said she hated love and marriage deep down she always wanted someone to love her truly so this made her disappointed.

Her disappointment turned into anger because she could see her entire life in front of her eyes....

Misery misery and misery.....

And who is the reason?? Her father!!

Before she could say anything, he said something that made her speechless.

" I cannot love you, not because there is anything wrong about you but the reason is I don't like emotional shit. I love my work...and you are not my type either. I am not saying it to disrespect you but I am making things clear...I will not be able to spend time and do things that a husband is supposed to do.. And as you know I am not a one-woman man either "

He continued speaking thinking that Naomi would reject him after hearing this instead but little did, he know that she is bound to marry him..

Before he could say anything, she Interrupted him " See Nicholas, I don't expect you to love me, and I don't believe in love at first sight either.... And to be honest I thought even though I might not love you I would at least try to have a better relationship with you and we can at least try to be friends. But the way you are reasoning and in the tone you are saying this is not right. I understand you are rich and you are famous ..you are accustomed to women who desperately want you but I cannot help it...... "She replied in a cold tone.

" Tell me whether you want this marriage or not, I am not interested in any other details. "She looked up and stared right into his blue eyes....

He couldn't help but blurt out " Don't you think you are desperate to marry me?? Reject it if you are not interested " He tried to convince her to reject him but failed miserably when she said...

"I can't, if it was possible to reject you, I wouldn't have met you in the first place" She laughed humourlessly but the sadness in her eyes was visible...

"I cannot reject this marriage either, it's my father's wish. " He told her after he realized both of them were bound to marry each other..

She looked at him and he looked down and said the thing she wasn't expecting... "My father has cancer... He is weak and I don't know whether he will survive a year or not.... " He looked up and stared at those brown concerned eyes of hers, he didn't think she would look so concerned...

To hide his emotion and to not show his pain or vulnerable side of his, he straighten up ....

"So I want to fulfil his last wish, and so I have to marry you... "

"What do you say?? will you??" He asked

"Yes," She replied.

My dear husband is not as nice as I thought he was and he was not ashamed to show that side of his.Ugh, why does he keep on distracting my thoughts!! Oh, I know why, because he is all over the news doing what he feels is right not caring about anyone. I am currently sitting in the study room working on an important life-changing case and the only thing I can think about is that I never thought my life would change to such an extent.The good news however is that Mr Dawson is staying in this mansion now, and it's great news. He is recovering well. The doctor said it to be a Miracle. But dad (that's what Mr Dawson asked me to call him) says it's all because of me. He always says that I make this dead mansion a warm home. Although I'm afraid I have to disagree, I am glad he is happy now.He always tries to take care of me or try to cheer me up.. Unlike my father, he is understanding. I love h

    Third point of viewIt's almost 1 am, he is pretty late. He reached here at 6:30 pm but had to settle a few things in his office and didn't notice the time. He decided not to disturb anyone, so He reached the kitchen for the food. He is tired as well as hungry. He is thinking whether he will get any food at this time or not.After his mum's death, his father drowned himself to work and Nicholas was a kid at that time and often ate ramen or fruits and sometimes nothing and went to sleep. Maybe it was one of the reasons for his current situation.Mr. Dawson was a kind father but it took a lot of time to stop mourning his dead wife and it was too late to know the habit that was developed by Nicholas in a young age. To this day he either forgets to eat or doesn’t eat at all.After his mother's death home cooked food became a distant dream and over time his food habit completely changed and it changed more drastically when he too drowned himself in work to create what he has today.But he

People always told me how clumsy I am, how childish and immature I am, How I am more of a nuisance and headache just because I am a bit hyper-energetic,But little did they know....I thought Nicholas would never say anything like that to me, firstly because he doesn’t know me and secondly I felt he is not a Judgy type...
