Author’s Pov.
It was past midnight when Christine was thirsty, she tossed around her bed and couldn’t get any sleep. She was confused and her head was in a Haywire.
She was getting married!!
Wow! To whom actually?
An arrogant monster, she pitied her life for the next one year. She imagines how many slaps and blows she will receive from him. She imagines the torture of getting to see him every time close and his gorgeous body, his stylish aura and authoritative tone.
Gosh, will they be sleeping on the bed together?
Will they sit close to each other?
Christine hit her head on the wall as she reached for the fridge to get a bottle of water, she gulped it till the contents finished. She reached for a Fruit and munch on it before returning back to the bed.
Diana lay peacefully in her sleep and Christine sighs in confusion. Something seems weird about her friend, she just can’t fathom what it is but she feels uncomfortable, it seems she has something in her sleeves she’s yet to reveal, she sees how shamelessly she gushes over Fanuel and parades herself at the entrance of his room.
Jayden has this dislike for her, he can’t just hide it. He had warned her never to clean up his room again, bhe had warned her never to serve him or come close to him…. now she finds that really weird. She’s been meaning to ask him but never gets a chance to meet him in person.
Now there’s Laurel, she’s no longer here with her but at the exterior part of the building.
She’s got thousands of questions to ask but no access, now she’s getting married, how possible will that be right now.
She opened the door slowly and took a walk in the passage of the mansion. It was beautiful…the bright chandeliers sparkled brightly and gave it a heavenly sight to behold.
She kept walking and passing doors, glancing at every beautiful flower and medal, touching every item as if the night was the last night she had.
She reached a slightly opened door confused on who was inside, curiosity got the best of her and she peeped inside.
She regretted doing that with all her heart as she was about peeking back to her former position.
“Don’t even bother, just come inside”. Fanuel said with his back facing the door, he had sensed footsteps coming nearer until it stopped right at the door, without thinking he knew someone was checking on him.
Christine swallowed hard, what the heck was he doing here at this time of the night? It was a study room no doubt but he had his own right in his room! Why did he leave his room upstairs to study here?
“I knew it will be you, the table is in a mess; clean it up”
“Ok”
“Be careful of those books, every words written there cost over a thousand dollars per letters, not a pinch of it must be torn”
“Ok”
“Make sure to take the files to my room when you’re done”
“Ok”
“Are you high or something?”
“No”
“What’s it with such foolish response”
“Nothing.”
“Get the fuck out and do as I said.”
“Ok”
Fanuel sneered at her, she’s doing that on purpose and she knows it. He wonders why she wasn’t asleep at this time. He watched her bent over and arranged the books in a pile and the files in one piece.
She looked innocent, but she wasn’t to fool him.
Her dad’s blood runs in her veins and she’s no different from him, bunch of thieves everywhere.
She gasped.
Shit! He had said that Loud.
“Aren’t you a thief? why do you stare, get these things out of my sight?”
“I didn’t steal anything, and I’m not stealing anything now…. why do you keep calling me names?”
“Are you asking me that right now?”
“Are you a stick?”
He gasped at her words.
“What did you just say?”
“Fanuel Hudson, just because you’ve got the world at your feet doesn’t give you the right to treat me like trash, I’m human!! I had a life before all this madness, I never really cared about your existence!!! I don’t give a fuck. I’ve been faithful to your demands and I did every damn thing you said like a pauper!
You hit me at every slight moment you get and I smile at it. You think I don’t know how to retaliate huh!!
Oh Mr billionaire, you think you’re perfect right?”
“What audaci…..”
“I’m not done!!” She cuts him off as tears welled in her eyes.
“The fact that my dad did a despicable crime doesn’t mean I’m capable of doing such shit, STOP RUBBING IT ON MY FACE!!
I don’t care what you do to me right now, beat me up if you want to but you know what?
I HATE YOU FANUEL!! I detest your attitude and I know you don’t care but don’t you ever call me thief again, I’m really being calm because I don’t have a choice, You don’t also want to know the tigress in me!!”
Her eyes blazed in anger as she stomped out of the study room, leaving Fanuel in a complete shock.
She was really mad at him and couldn’t control her anger, she didn’t hate him at all, she hated herself!!
She hated the fact that she liked how beautiful he looked no matter his harshness.
She hated the fact that she he looked effortlessly sexy and fucking intelligent, that he affected her without him being close, that his anger made him looked more ravishing than before.
She hated herself!!!!
Fanuel was frozen! No, he sat down. No girl in his entire history had talked back at him, she fired back at him and he’s fidgeting.
In rage!!!
She would pay for doing that, no one talks back to him.
Christine walked so fast and blindly that she didn’t notice someone coming, she bumped hard at the person and all the files and books went flying in the air.
She crashed herself on the floor and hit her bum in the process.
“Jeez!!! I’m so sorry, who got you pissed? Why are you awake by this time Christine?” Jayden asked worriedly.
“Who gave you that bracelet? Oh my God! The book is thorn!!”
