He again rubbed those words on my face from which I was trying hard to run.

The gravity of his words was making my chest heavy with every passing second. For the past year, I tried my best and prayed to the one who is listening to never give rise to this day in my life but I failed.

I worked hard to keep him away from me but with the snap of his finger, he brought me back on the same page from where we both started.

Suddenly my chest became tight, making breathing hard for me. Lifting my shaking hands I ring the bell and dad didn't waste a single second to open the door within a big happy smile on his face he said "My kitten is back. I missed you so much" with a bright smile while hugging me tightly. 

Dad's tight embrace made me forget everything, taking all the bad things away from me. His bright smile made all dark clouds go away like a bright shining sun. I took a deep breath in his comforting arms to make my wildly beating hard calm.

Only in his loving and caring arms, I felt the sense of security for me like I could conquer anything in this cruel world. 

Breaking the hug he looked at me with little tears in his eyes. His eyes were the pool of mixed emotions telling me he missed me so much. We went inside and he made me sit near him on the couch.  "Kitten, did you forget to feed yourself," he asked in his amused voice while looking at me with a little furrowed brow. Like always my dad chose to say something opposite from what he wanted to ask. I knew he wanted to ask me why I changed my decision. He knew I never wanted to join the company. My dreams were different but why did I suddenly change my decision?

I choose this over my dreams to do something bigger. I'm sacrificing my dream for something important in my life.

"I starved myself for six months so when you see that I have become thin like a wing you will feed me your handmade food every day," I said with a mischief smile. Even though I could see the questions arising in his mind I didn't want to answer them now.

If he came to know why I'm doing this he would never allow me to do it.

Dad gave a smile he knew I didn't want to tell him the reason now but his eyes were happy now thinking I made the best decision for myself. "I was already making pasta for you. It's almost done. Why don't you freshen up and come down for lunch," he said with a smile.

"God, I was craving pasta so much. My mouth has already started to water. I will be back soon" I said in excitement and went to my room to get fresh so I could eat pasta as soon as possible.

When I was done with my business after fifteen minutes I went down. Dad was waiting for me. He gave me a smile when I sat on my seat. He served me a big portion of pasta and I smiled sheepishly. He knew I would eat everything leaving nothing behind on the plate. Eating the first bite I moaned while closing my eyes "hmmm dad if the guy I marry doesn't know how to cook food like you I won't marry him" I said taking another spoonful of pasta.

He gives me a pleased smile. "Then I need to make efforts on Jack so you won't leave him at the altar," he joked, making my hand stop with a spoon full of pasta near my mouth.

"Dad!" I said in annoyance.

"What?" dad said in confusion.

"Why do you have to take that idiot name now?" I said in my pissed voice. "I have lost my appetite," I said in annoyance, dropping my spoon on the plate.

"What I just stated is a fact. I don't want you to run away from your altar so I need to train him" he said in his calm voice.

"As if I will marry him even though I did in my wildest nightmare he doesn't have a single bone in him to learn cooking so I will definitely run away from the altar," I said with narrowed eyes.

"What! you guys again had a fight," he asked in an amused voice.

"We never stopped fighting dad. God, I just hate him" I said in irritation.

"You guys should stop fighting and start thinking about giving us grandkids," dad said in a dreamy voice like he was already holding five kids in his hands.

"Ewe dad, how could you say this to me? I think I should go back to the place from where I came'' I said with a red tint on my cheeks. Dad has moved so far in the future. Kids with that Satan never. I can't even stand in his nearness.

"It's the only wish of mine after you have joined the company but I thought you love kids," he asked.

"Yes I do but kids with a bigger kid himself I didn't sign for it. Now if you're done with stating all your wishes I would like to eat my food alone in my room," I said while giving him a tight smile taking my plate I left for my room.

Dad, you can see as many as dreams you want of me getting married to that Satan because your dream is going to be a dream only. My foot will marry him, that too in my nightmare. I thought with a smirk. Jack miller you are playing dirty games with me because you think you have the upper hand in this war.

Just wait and watch how I crush your dream as you are trying to crush mine.

I laughed evilly at that thought. With that thought, I eat my food with enjoyment. Thinking about how I'm going to execute my plan. I don't know when I doze off while thinking about it. I think all tiredness took over me. I woke up when it was already noon, yawning and stretching I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I feel fresh after my little nap. I heard my phone was ringing. I went back to my room and saw the caller id. Jane was calling me.

She must want to hang out with me.

"Hello," I answered the call. I heard the sniffing sound from the other side of the pheon.

"Hello, Jane, what happened," I asked her in my worried voice.

"I'm coming to your place," she said, still sniffing.

"Wait there, I will come to pick you up," I said in my afraid voice.

Why is she crying like that?

"No, I'm on my way. I'm almost there" she said in her crying voice. In ten minutes she reached. I went down to get her.

Dad already received her. "Jane dear comes inside," dad said with a welcoming smile.

"How are you uncle," she said with a faint smile still sniffing.

"I'm doing great as you know your troublemaker's best friend is back. But you don't look good what the matter" dad said after noticing her red nose and puffy eyes. Dad moved a soothing hand on her back to comfort her while bringing her inside. I stepped down from the last step and moved near her seeing me she hugged me tightly still crying. Dad gestured to me with his eyes asking if I know what happens. I moved my head in denial. 

"Dad, can you ask someone to send water for Jane," I said to dad, still moving my hand on the back of sniffing Jane.

"Sure," Dad nodded at me and went inside the kitchen. I made her sit on the couch and gave her some tissues to wipe the tears which were still flowing from her puffy eyes. Dad brought the glass of water for her and took a seat near me.

"Drink this and after that, we can talk," I said, handing her water. When she seemed a little calm I asked "What happened? Don't tell me that stupid Zanvil did something to make you cry like this" I said curling my finger in a fist. If he did something stupid to hurt her I'm going to break his skull this time.

"No, Nina, it is not him. Uncle and aunt want me and Zanvil to get married in two weeks," she said in her hoarse voice. 

"What! Why so soon" I exclaimed with furrowed brows. She just told me that she is getting married yesterday and today she is telling me her marriage will be held in two weeks. I thought we had little time till her marriage. I was thinking about taking her on a trip to cheer her up knowing she doesn't want to marry that devil. Why everyone is throwing bombs on me. "Stop crying Jane, we will do something about it," I said, trying to comfort her.

"Do you want me to talk with Zanvils parents? I'm sure they will shift the date" dad asked her with an assuring smile.

"No. I'm not crying because I'm going to marry Zanvil in two weeks. I'm crying because of the reason why they want me and Zanvil to get married in two weeks'' she said with teary eyes.

"Why, what, the reason," I asked in confusion while pressing my hands on her hands lightly to encourage her to speak. 

What could it be?

She stiffened before answering me like summing her courage to speak. "Uncle has heart disease and he is going for the surgery after two weeks and his survival rate after surgery is less," she said in her hurt voice while grabbing my hand. 

"What," I said, clasping my hand on my open mouth in shock. Dad was shocked too. Her words made me remember Zanvil's dad's appearance when I met him yesterday. He did look a little pale and weak but he answered me happily that this thought of him being not healthy didn't even cross my mind. I thought it must be his growing business pressure.

"Nina, What will I do if something happens to him? He is like my father and I don't want to lose him too" she said crying hard. I hugged her watching her outbreak. She loves Zanvil's mom and dad like her own parents. I know how she is feeling now. 

"Don't worry nothing will happen to him," I said in my soothing voice still hugging her back.

"Don't worry Jane, nothing will happen to him, he is a strong man" dad tried to comfort her with his words. She nodded her head in agreement after listening to dad. "Nina, why don't you take Jane to your room and let her rest for some time," dad said to me. I took her to my bedroom and made her rest and then I went down to the kitchen where I could fetch something for her to eat. I met with dad in the kitchen. I think he is making dinner for us. Even though we have a chef, dad cooks food for me all the time.

"Everything good," dad asked me when I took out the Ice cream tub from the fridge. 

"Yeah, she has stopped crying," I said turning around and facing him with an ice cream tube in my hand.

"She is a good kid. Zanvils parents would have never found a good girl like her for Zanvil," dad said with a knowing look. 

"Yeah I know," I said with the same look in my eyes with a tight smile on my face and taking two spoons I went back to my room. Jane has always been a good kid, understanding one, and always ready to sacrifice her happiness for others. This kind of person she is. I know she said yes to this against her will marriage for Zanvils parent's sake. People who don't know her must think she is stupid dump women to do such a thing. She did it because she loves them so much and love was the only thing in her life that took over her every time. I don't know why a pure soul like her is getting tied with the devil. I went back to my room and I saw she was talking on her phone.

"I'm not crying," she said in her low voice but I heard it. I went near here with an ice cream tub in my hand. Her eyes light up looking at her favorite ice cream in my hand. I knew ice cream would cheer her up a little bit. "You don't have to come, I'm at Nina's" she again said in the same tone. "Uggh," she said and handed me her phone with pleading eyes.

I took the phone from her hand and she took the Ice cream from my hand. I saw the caller id was the devil. I gesture to her to eat and I will handle him. "Hello," I said moving away from her.

"Rogers, why are you answering the phone? Where is Jane?" he asked in his annoyed voice.

"She is eating ice cream. Listen you don't have to come to take her. I  will drop her at your place after dinner," I said and cut the call before he could say something else. As if I wanted to listen to his annoying voice anymore. He called again but I cut it and put it on silent mode then I kept it in my pocket.

We ate ice cream together and spent our remaining time before dinner playing the game on my PlayStation. We all ate my dad's hand cooked food together mine and dad's silly jokes made her laugh making her forget everything she left my house with a smile on her face. When I dropped her off at her place I handed her cellphone to her. "It was with you," she said, checking It.

"Yeah I thought it would be better if I handed you afterward," I said with a knowing smile.

"I need to thank you for" but she didn't complete her sentence and her eyes widened when she was checking her phone.

"Shit. I have twenty-five missed calls and fifteen messages from the devil" she said in her little afraid voice. "I need to go now. Thanks for today" she hugged me and ran towards the door.

"If that devil gives you a hard time don't forget to use the self-defense move I teach you" I shouted to her to hear.

"I will" she shouted back with a smile on her face and then she went back.

I drove back home and slept as soon as my body touched the bed today was a long day. But the next day was even more chaotic. Dad made me sign tons of documents. He made me read all the documents before signing telling me never to trust anyone. It all took five precious hours of my day. Today I was supposed to go out with Jane and aunty Jenifer for shopping but they pushed It knowing my reason so instead, they went to meet the decorator. After signing for more than a hundred times and reading tons of the document I was now officially the Co-CEO of Rogers and Miller's joint venture as dad was still CEO of Rogers industries with me holding forty-nine percent of share in it. 

"Dad I'm so tired I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when it's dinner time," I said while yawning and throwing the pen on the table.

"Kitten I'm so happy today, you go and rest. You need to restore your strength as you are going to join the company soon. Today I will make a special dinner for you to put some muscles in you so you could work hard," he said with a happy smile still eyeing my signed papers as he did believe it. I moved my head in amusement and went to my room to take a nap.

Maid woke me up when it was dinner time. Washing my face I put my hair in a high bun and came down for dinner still rubbing my eyes but as soon as I stepped down from the last step I almost had a heart attack. Dad, uncle Richard, and aunty Sam surprised me. They both hugged me and congratulated me on joining the company. 

"Nina I'm so happy for you. I was so delighted when your dad told me you said yes to join the family business," aunty said with a bright smile. I smiled back at her. 

"Yeah I agree with her" uncle Richard said with a pleased smile.

"Did you like my surprise?" dad asked while hugging me from the side.

"Yes very much," I said with a faint smile. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to see uncle and aunty here but dad could have at least should have given me little hints. So I could have changed into something appropriate. I was wearing a hoodie with only my bra inside and a pair of shorts. I once more smiled and moved my eyes behind them to find out no one was there. 

Thank god he was not here. I don't want to see his face now.

"Let's go and have dinner," dad said, gesturing to us to move to the dining room. 

"Nina, we brought a present for you," aunty said while passing me a bag.

"Anty you don't have to bring anything for me," I said in my soft voice.

"It's good luck from me and your uncle opened it," she said with a smile. Still, with second thoughts, I opened it. A pair of diamond earrings were in the box. I gasped looking at that delicate thing. 

"Aunty it's too much I can't accept this," I said and tried to give the box back to her. 

"It's not, it's good luck you can't give it back. Would you have said no if your mother had given this to you as good luck?" she asked with a small smile. I bit my lower lip and said thank you to them. She laughed brightly after listing my thank you.

"Now Sam, if you are done with your mellow drama, let's start our dinner. I'm starving" uncle Richard said and aunty Sam smacked him on his arm making us all laugh.

"I hope I'm not missing anything," said the most annoying voice from behind me.

I closed my eyes listening to his voice and muttered under my breath "Why he has to show up now." He took a seat beside me and I eyed at all the empty seats beside his parents.

Why does he have to sit beside me?

"Why are you late" uncle Richard asked him.

"Had little work to handle but I wrapped it up for my dinner" he said looking at everyone then his eyes landed and stayed on me when he said the last word. I just ignored him and started taking food on my plate.

"Good you came on time I thought you will miss the dinner" dad said.

"How could I miss it? Work is important to me but dinner is more imported and I'm starving" he said, placing his hand on my bare leg making me stop in my track of serving myself.

"Yes you should eat first," dad said and started serving himself. I turned my head and looked at him with angry eyes still holding plates in one hand and spoon in another. He started to annoy me as soon as he entered this room. Looking at my blank face and angry eyes he smirked at me with satisfaction while drinking the water from his glass.

"Nina, why don't you serve me too?" he said, still drinking water from his free hand while moving his hand higher near the hem of my shorts, making me take a slow deep breath. I clenched the plate and spoon hard in the fear of dropping them down.

I took one more deep breath and composed myself before answering him "Sure why not your hand must be tired, they need to rest," I said, dropping the spoon from my hand and lifting the fork with a tight smile on my face. Looking at the fork he smirked wildly knowing what I wanted to do and then he removed his hand from my bare leg but not before giving it a firm squeeze making me grip my fork more tightly a low gasp left my mouth. 

What the hell is he doing?

With a smirk on his face, he took the fork from my hand and ate a bite of mixed vegetable rice from my plate. Why he always has his eye on my food. I huffed in annoyance and took a spoon to eat my food but as I was about to take the first bite he said: "Nina can you pass me the chicken." I bite my lower lip in irritation. He is trying to provoke me. Dropping my spoon I shoved the plate to him and he greeted me with a smirk. I averted my eyes away from him and continued to listen to dad and his parent's conversations. I took a spoon full of rice with chicken to eat but he again asked me to pass the bread. Why God why he is testing my patience. "Take it yourself," I said with a look if you dare to ask me anything I will break that plate on your head.

Looking at my little outburst he smiled showing me his teeth. The plate was just beside me. He could have asked anyone to pass it but he has to annoy me or else he won't be able to digest his food properly. Ignoring him I took my first bite and was still listening to what aunty Sam was saying to dad about a charity event when I felt him moving his chair near me I tried to ignore him again but then he placed his one hand again on my bare leg while taking the plate of bread from his opposite hand so he could bring his face nearer to me. I swallowed hard when his cheeks were touching mine.

What is he doing?

I looked at him with wide eyes and to the people present there. They were still busy in their deep conversation. He smirked mischievously looking at how my eyes moved from him to them and again on him. He took the hold of the plate from his opposite hand and ducking his face down he pressed his lip to my neck making my heart beat fast. He didn't remove his lips immensely but lazily moved them below my jaw. His shameless actions made me move back in the chair. With a satisfactory grin, he took the plate and started eating his food like he did nothing now he even got involved in their conversation.

What is he trying to do? He is trying to mess with your brain and you're letting him too. Nina, just try to ignore him like always. 

I took a deep breath to calm myself and continue eating my food trying to act normal. I was trying to act normal as possible but inside me, the havoc of bubbles was rising because the skin on my neck and leg he touched was still tingling like his lips and hands were still pressed to my sensitive skin. He has still not moved an inch of his chair away from me engulfing my personal space with his strong scent. Whenever he moved his hands they intentionally touched mine. Sometimes he even tried to take the same thing by placing his hands on me like it was a coincidence. When I looked at him with narrowed eyes he flashed me his innocence, looking like it was done unintentionally, and again now he did the same thing by placing his hand on the bowl of sauce.

Enough is enough!

We were holding the bowl in the air making it easy for me to shove the whole bowl on his white shirt. It made him stand from his chair and curse under his breath. I fake gasped when the sauce spread staining his white shirt. My gasp caught everybody's attention. "The bowl slipped from my hand," I said with innocent looking eyes.

"Let me clean it," I said standing and taking a glass of water with some tissue but instead of cleaning it, I fake tripped by bumping with the corner of the chair and spilled the water on him making water mixed sauce run all over his white shirt and tissues sticking to his face. I wanted to laugh out loud but I bit my lower lip to suppress it. "Oh my God I'm so clumsy," I said, placing my one hand on my mouth hiding my smile with a fake shock expression on my face. He clenched his jaw in anger after looking at my award-winning acting.

"Kitten, why don't you show him the bathroom" dad said, trying to lessen the tension in the air. I could feel his anger radiating from him and passing straight through me.

"Yes, show him the bathroom till we elders talk about business over a drink," uncle Richards said.

"Yes let's go," aunty said and they left the room together. His angry gaze was still fixed on me. Moving my eyes away from the there retiring figure I looked at him. 

Show him the bathroom my foot. Giving him my victory smirk I turned to go back to my room but he gripped my hand while moving his other hand on my waist and pressing me to his chest tightly. "What are you doing? Let me go" I said and tried to move but he didn't let me. I could feel his chest hard muscle throw his wet shirt

"Aren't you going to show me the bathroom?" he said with a smirk. I started to feel my hoody getting wet and dirty because of sauce and water. "If you don't know where it is. Now let me go!" I said and moved away from him. He easily let me go with any protest.

Good for him or else I would have kicked him.

He moved his eyes on my stained hoody and smirked. I know why he was pressing himself so hard on me. I glared at him with so much hatred and turned to go to my room. I directly went to my bathroom and removed my hoody as soon as I did it I heard my bathroom door opened. Turning around I saw him closing the door "What are you doing here. Get out!" I said in my hateful voice while pressing the hoodie to my bare chest. Instead of getting out, he started coming in my direction. His eyes moved from my face to my chest where I was pressing my hoodie with a clenched fist. 

"You showed me this bathroom so I came in," he said with an evil smirk while moving more near me making me step back. He followed me to my bathroom.

God this stupid man is making me go crazy.

I felt something pressing my hips. I moved my eyes to the side to see it was my bathroom vanity with a sink. I pressed my hoody more to my chest and turned my head to tell him to get out but as soon as my head moved my eyes met with hooded light brown eyes that were staring back at me a low gasp left my mouth.

When did he move so near me?

Lifting my hand I tried to move him was the stupidest thing I ever did. It made my hoodie fall down from my hand leaving me only in my bra for him to stare at it. I swallowed hard when his hooded light brown eyes lingerie on my chest. He took my pushing hands in his hold and lifted me up, making me sit on my vanity while my back pressed against the cold mirror with my hands on either side of my head.

A  sudden gasp left from my mouth and a shiver ran to my spine at the contact of the cold mirror with his warm skin on my pinned hands. It happens so fast he didn't even give me a single second for my reflex actions to kick in. "What are you doing, let me go before I kick you," I said in my warning tone, trying to move my hands from his grip. Instead, he made himself comfortable while standing between my legs stopping me from kicking him.

"How can I let you go my wild cat after getting the hold on you after so long?" he said while burying his face in my neck and taking a deep breath while rubbing his nose from neck to my bare shoulders. His actions made me curl my fingers into fist digging my nails in my palm with an unwanted shiver passing to my body. I hitched on my breath when I felt him pressing his wet lips below my collar bones with his teeth nibbling on my sensitive skin. It will surely leave a mark on me.

"Jac..k let me g..o you can't enter in my bathroom like that" I tried to say it with my strong voice but I shutter. He moved his face from my neck to my face with a wide smirk knowing his actions had an effect on me. He wetted his lips while looking at me with his hooded eyes. Like he was totally enjoying seeing me like that.

"Why can't I come into my fiance's bathroom," he said with an evil look in his eyes fueling anger inside me.

"You are my fiance only on the papers and it will remain  like that only because in reality I will never be..…." He didn't let me complete my sentence. He smashed his wet lips with my parted one, taking full control of my mouth making my eyes widened in shock.

He muffed my protesting voice with his hard kiss. My nails buried more deep in my palms when he started to nibble and suck my lower lip, not letting me breathe. He was putting all his anger, all his hatred in this kiss like it was my punishment making my heartbeat like crazy. It made me shut my eyes tightly. He only broke our kiss when both of our lips were bruised. I was gasping for air with heavy breaths making my chest rise and fall with each breath. 

Looking at my state he licked his bruised lower lip with his tongue with an evil smirk on his face. Like he got what he came for. "If you think getting on the post of Co-Ceo with me you will have the upper hand that you can win this war then you are delusional. I get whatever I set my eyes on with a hook or crook and this time I have set my eyes on you my wild cat" he said with evil running in his eyes and determined voice.

"I hate you," I said in my most hated voice. 

"I hate you too and we will continue our hate war after our marriage too. You just wait till I have full possession of you" he said with an evil smirk while letting go of my hands. He moved a little away and looked at me from my head toe still touching his bruised lip with his tongue. 

"Just wait," he said those two words like a promise to me and left the bathroom leaving me numb over her.

He won't let me go, he will get what he wants, it was the only thing his confident eyes and determined voice was saying loud and clear to me. What will he do next to make me sign the contract is making me go crazy.

He will apply his head to toe strength to make me sign that bloody contract….
