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

Those satanic words that came out of the mouth of Satan himself were repeating in my head like it was set on a loop even after it's been a week after that our unwanted encounter. I don't know why he is dead set on making me sign the contract.

Does he has...

Before my thoughts could wander in the wrong direction any further my inner voice barged in and knocked on me with her sensible words. My dear Kitten did Satan's that night's forced kiss hit your brain so hard that you forget why he wants to make you sign the contract.

Get your thoughts straight, he is not in love with you. He is not your Knight in shining armor never will be. He just wants to make everything difficult for you. He is dead set on making you sign the contract for his own selfish reasons.

My smart inner voice yelled at me, making me bring my off-track brain back on track. "Nina...Nina" I heard a familiar voice calling my name catching my attention making me look in the direction of the voice.

Lifting my eyes I saw Jane was looking at me with furrowed eyes. I looked at her with a questioning gaze and asked "What's wrong."

"I should be the one to ask you that question. What's wrong? I called your name so many times but you didn't answer me" she asked me with the same questioning gaze. Her words made me come back to my reality and I moved my eyes to my surroundings.

We were currently waiting for aunty Jenifer to come out of the changing room in one of the designer boutiques which aunty Sam suggested. We had already finalized Jane's wedding and engagement gown. When aunty Jenifer sent Jane photos in her wedding gown to Zanvil from then Jane's phone has not stopped ringing for a single second and like always she was not answering it. In irritation, she picked her phone after like the tenth ring and in a second she got busy arguing with the forced love of her life. Aunty Jenifer was trying her engagement and wedding outfits after we were done with ours. And this is how they both left me alone and let me get lost in my thoughts of that night.

Before answering her I took a small deep breath to clear my brain from unwanted thoughts running here and there. "Nothing, I'm totally fine," I said with a small smile. I can't burden her with my problems too, she already has enough of hers. "I clearly saw you deep lost in your thoughts. Your face was clearly telling me that something is bothering you. Tell me the truth, is someone troubling you" she asked in her serious voice.

"Nothing just thoughts of here and there, nothing serious and top of that, who will dare to trouble me," I said in my firm voice to make her believe in my words but her innocent stare was telling me that she can see right through my lies. How will I be able to tell her what Satan did to me? How he threatened me that he will marry me by hook or crook. How will I be able to tell my reason behind not to marry him?

It's the secret buried deep in my heart. Even in my thoughts, I don't bring it up.

Looking back in Jane's eyes I moved my head in denial with a faint smile. "Nina, you can share anything with me. You know I'm always here for you," she said in her assuring voice while pressing my upper arm lightly with her hand letting me know she means what she says.

I wish I could tell her but I can't.

"I know," I said with the same faint smile with a pained expression.

"Girls, how do I look?" our attention was caught by a cheerful voice. We both broke our eye contact and looked at aunty Jenifer.

"You look stunning," I said with a low whistle.

"You look so good," Jane joined me. She looked so good in her gown.

"Well from your reactions I'm going to buy this gown," she said with a satisfactory smile on her face while still checking her out in the mirror. After getting our thumbs up for her engagement outfit we left the boutique to buy jewelry. Our clothes will be sent to our houses after the altering is done. Aunty bought some jewelry for Jane and herself and I too bought some jewelry to match my outfit. We all reached the Addams mansion fully exhausted. I had dinner with my uncle, aunty, and Jane, and went back to my house to come back tomorrow for more preparation for the wedding.

From last week I was totally exhausted but the only thing that was making me happy was that I and Jack didn't cross our paths after that day. I just don't want to see his stupid smirking face because I don't know what will I do to him if he jumps in front of me.

I just hate that guy.

With this thought in my mind, I slipped into my thoughts as soon as my back touched my bed. In the morning as soon as I woke up I rushed and did my morning routine fast so I could reach Addams mansion on time. Today was busier than yesterday as they after tomorrow is going to be an engagement ceremony and I have to help aunty in checking decorations and finalizing some last moment decisions. "Kitten at least first finishes your whole omelet," dad said when I stood up leaving half-eaten omelet on my plate with half-eaten toast in my mouth.

"Dad, I'm getting late. I need to be there on time to help aunty" I said while grabbing my car key and jacket with one hand.

"I know it's your best friend's wedding preparation and you want to help but it can wait for a few minutes till you finish your breakfast" he tried to convince me.

"I'll eat something over there, don't worry bye," I said and kissed his cheek, and ran out of the house to my car. Driving my car I went to Addams mansion to meet the bride to be because I won't be able to meet her for the rest of the day. As she is not allowed to help us in preparation because she needs to rest and be ready for her engagement without getting stressed about anything or else it will show on her face on her big day. She has to look best for the big days of her life, not my but aunty Jenifer words. Well, I agree on that with aunty Jenifer. Jane is already stressing about how to spend her life with the devil himself and I don't want her to stress about the preparation of her marriage too.

When I entered the house I saw Jane was sitting with the most hated person in my life. She was laughing at some stupid joke of his. I walked in her direction. His back was facing me. I looked at his back with my angry narrowed eyes. Feeling my piercing gaze on his back he turned around to look at me with his light brown. He slowly moved his light brown eyes from my head to toe with the same stupid smirk like that night plastered to his face. His smirk flashed a glimpse of that night in front of my eyes making me ball my fist in irritation. I glared back at him with blank eyes.

I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing my emotions like last time. He thinks his forced kiss affected me then he is in the biggest delusion of his life.

"Nina," Jane said in her cheerful voice. I averted my eyes from him and flashed my genuine smile to Jane and side hugged her.

"Where is aunty Jenifer," I asked looking at her while ignoring his presence beside us.

"I'm here," said another little stressed voice from the back of us.

"Thank God Nina you came. I had no one to monitor the arrangement while I was checking the other things" she said in her little relieved voice.

"Yes come let's go," I said early because I wanted to get away from the piercing gaze of his light brown eyes that were still fixed on me. We were about to go when he stopped us getting aunt Jennifer's attention.

"Aunty," he said in his pleasing voice.

"Jack you are here on time good" she again said in her happy voice. Her words caught my attention.

You are on time, what does she mean by that?

"Nina Jack also came here to help us in preparation. How wonderful is that now we will have more help" she said in her glad voice as a little burden was lifted up from her shoulder.

"Yeah," I said in my dry voice and a faint smile. I was so eager to go away with aunty from his presence and now he is going to tag along with us the whole day. I looked at him with angry narrowed eyes looking at my face he smirked, making me curse under my breath.

How will I bear his presence beside me for the whole day?

How will I bear the urge to punch in his face?

"Let's go, guys, we have so much to do in so less time and Jane dear you go and rest," aunty said in her firm voice while clapping her hands to gain our attention.

"At your service madam let's go," he said with a cocky smile on his face while intertwining his arm with aunty Jenifer making her laugh and they both moved to the hall making me stare at their retiring back with the same piercing gaze. I know today's day will be more hectic because of him. My hated gaze broke when someone touched my upper arm. I looked at Jane with a confused look.

"Nina, don't stress yourself, and please don't start fighting with him even though he started it first. Aunty needs your help," she said with a pleading look.

"Yeah I know," I said with a cunning smile, making her look at me with narrowed eyes.

If he provokes me then I will not sit quietly.

"Nina, come here fast" aunty called my name.

"Bye you go rest I'll go and help aunt," I said and jogged in their direction. She wanted to say something but I didn't let her. Reaching there I saw aunty was explaining something to him and he was nodding. When I reached near them she looked at me with a small smile.

"Nina, you and Jack see the arrangement and monitor the work here. I'll go and check for the catering service. They were supposed to send a menu today" she said while writing something on her notepad.

I don't want to work with him.

"Aunty you check the decoration here I will go and call the carting service," I said while trying to switch with her.

"No," he said, suddenly making me and aunty look at him with confusion. He flashed his smile to aunty and said "You know Nina is so good with colors and arranging things. She even has her past experience in it. You should be the one who should check on catering service and we both should see the arrangement" he said while looking at me with the same cocky grin.

He has already started to get on my nerves. Why does he have to bring this now? Nina don't you know because he wants to irritate you. But I won't let him succeed.

"Yes, I have arranged anniversaries of our foundation house with aunty Sam but I'm not experienced like her," I said while trying to reason.

"You don't worry about that, I'm here for help. I will make this experience worth remembering it," he said with a big grin on his face and whispered the last part for me to hear only. I bit my lower lip in anger and looked at him with angry eyes.

"Yes you are right beside Nina you don't know what to finalize from the menu," she said dismissing my suggestion.

"Come on guys, let's start working," she said while dialing the number on her cell phone and going away. I averted my glaring eyes from him and moved to one corner of the hall where people were waiting for me to decide which flowers should be used for decoration. I felt him following me. I decided to do the opposite of what he was thinking I would do. I decided to ignore his presence as I didn't want to argue with him.

I went there and flashed my small polite smile to the decorator. He smiled back at me. I felt Jack standing close to me but I didn't spare him a glance and started looking at the flower he was holding and decided to choose the white and red rose as it will go with the theme red and white. "So Miss Rogers, what have you decided?" asked the decorator. He was a very young and famous decorator. "You don't have to be so formal with me, call me Nina," I said with a smile.

"Nina is such a beautiful name it definitely suits you," he said, making me blush. I felt Jack's body becoming stiff at his words. It made me smile mentally.

"You can call me Josh," he said, offering me his hand. But before I could take it Jack took his hand and came in front of me putting me back. I peeped at Josh from the side.

"Jack Miller Nina's fiance," he said in his dominating voice while squeezing Josh's hand hard. I could tell it from his changed facial expressions. I huffed in annoyance at his introduction.

"Josh Allen," he said in his nervous voice. He freed his hand from Jack's grip and looked at me.

"So Nina, which flower and their arrangement you have chosen," he asked, flashing me his full teeth nervous smile while ignoring Jack like me. "We will go with white orchids and purple orchids," Jack said in its final voice before I could say anything. Josh looked at me with a confused questioning gaze.

What is he saying he doesn't even know the theme?

I moved away from Jack's back and looked at Josh. "It's such a boring combination like him," I said in my home voice. "I think red and white roses will be perfect," I said, taking flowers in my hands. Josh smiled at me after listening to my comment and Jack glared at me as I care.

"Good choice. I was thinking about suggesting the same thing as it goes with the theme. I think this arrangement will be good" he said with a smile while showing me the pictures of the arrangers. I was feeling Satan's heated gaze on us.

"I'll go and instruct the workers. See you soon beautiful" he said with a grin on his lips making me blush. I like him. He called me beautiful in front of Jack, not getting affected by his presence beside me. Listening to his bold comment Jack was about to follow him with a clenched fist but I gripped his hand making him look at me in anger.

"If you are done with your useless suggestion then stop wasting time go and see the arrangement of another side," I said in my dry voice but inside I was doing summersaults as he got the fruit of tagging along with me.

"I don't take orders from you," he said in his pissed voice while coming close to me.

"It's not my order, remember aunty told us to do it. Now go I will see the arrangement of here," I said with a fake smile because I was in no mood to see his stupid face a single second more.

"You are sending me away so you can flirt with that decorator," he said in his pissed voice.

"Maybe," I said to piss him off more to take payback for ruining my past week. He came close to me while bringing his face near me invading my personal space.

"How did I forget that ugly girl like you will go with any guy like a slut who said you are beautiful," he said in his angry voice making me gasp at his words causing bubbles of anger rise inside me.

"I definitely don't need a character certified from manwhore who walks out of each and every party with different girls on his arm," I said in my angry pissed voice with a clenched fist. Hearing my words he glared at me with a clenched jaw but it soon changed into an angry smirk.

"So it's your new hobby to stalk me, wild cat," he said with an evil smirk making me look at him in annoyance. What he took out of my accusation.

Did he not hear me call him a manwhore?

"Me stalking you in your dreams" I huffed with a fake smile while pointing my finger between him and me. "Trust me I have more meaningful and useful things to do in my life," I said with a smirk while folding my hands on my chest making his smirk slip out of his face.

"I'm warning you Nina if I see you getting cozy with that decorated, trust me then you will plan these engagement parties without the decorator," he said in his warning tone while taking my name. It passed an unwanted shiver to my spine but I didn't let it overpower me.

"Stop commanding me as if I will obey you. For your kind information, It's none of your business with whom I chose to get cozy with. So shut the trap and do little work for what you came here," I said in my firm voice glaring back at him.

"Don't tempt my beast more or else it will be my business and you won't be able to see him ever again" he said in his dominating threatening voice. His words again passed that unwanted shiver to my spine. I knew he would do it. I was about to answer him when aunty Jenifer called us. Glaring at each other we both went to aunty.

"Jack, you come with me. We have to go to the to taste the food and finalize it as Nina will see the decoration arrangement here," she said while writing something on her notepad.

"But aunty how will she manage it alone" he tried to change her decision.

"She will manage it alone. I trust her and you were the one who told me she is good at it so come let's go" she said with a dismissive look on her face. He couldn't argue with her so he nodded at her not before warning me from his eyes to stay away from Josh. I just rolled my eyes in a bored manner at him before aunty dragged him out but he kept looking at me so I waved at him with a smile to piss him off even more.

Thank God now I will be able to work without him putting his nose in my business. I laughed hard after looking at Jack's dispelled face. By telling her that I'm good at decoration he wanted to stick beside me to irritate me but now it's working against him. I need to thank aunty for taking him away from me or else I would have punched him hard. I smiled widely at that thought.

"What is the reason behind this big smile?" I heard Josh's voice. I looked at him with the same smile plastered to my face. "Don't tell me I'm the reason behind your happy smile?" he asked in his amused smile making me laugh hard.

"No, I was smiling at some thought. Are you done with giving instructions to the workers?" I asked.

"Yes, it will be done in no time. I have told them to do it in this pattern," he said, handing me a picture I took to look at it. "Your fiance seems possessive about you. Well, I don't blame him, I'll be possessive too if my fiance is as beautiful as you" he said in his serious voice making me stop looking at photos but I didn't lift my head for him to see changing emotions in my eyes. His words suddenly made me feel uncomfortable because it made me question myself.

Beautiful was the only name he never called me in my entire life. In his mind and heart, I was an ugly attention seeker who would smile at any guy who calls her beautiful. In his eyes, I'm a desperate slut. What Josh sees as his possessiveness is his efforts he is doing for his own selfish reasons so no one could come between his path.

He has no feelings for me nor do I.

"I like the pattern. I'll go and check the design of another side," I said in my firm voice, lifting my eyes up when I was done composing my emotions. I didn't feel like answering his question. He understood it and with a smile, he went back to explain to the worker's something else. I was still feeling uncomfortable. I took one more deep breath to compose myself and when to check the things.

When I was checking the other side I saw a pattern vail of flowers lining down from the pillar. I moved my head to find some workers but no one was there. They must be on break. It will get ruined if it falls down. With this thought, I tried to push it up so it became temporary stable. Later I will ask the worker to fix it properly. I was trying to push it but my hand was not reaching there so I tried to tiptoe and do it but it was still not getting fixed.

Giving up I was about to turn back but I felt a presence behind me. Standing so close to me. I could smell familiar cologne around me. I don't know why breathing in his scent made my paining heart a little easier.

How could I feel this? How can he lessen my pain when he is the one who inflicted it in me.

These thoughts clouded my mind. He circled his one arm around my waist from my back and lifted me up with his one arm making my breath hitch. His other hand helped me push the vail up while touching my little trembling one. His sudden appearance made my heart beat fast. His firm holds on my waist with his fingers brushing my bare waist was making breathing hard for me. With shaky breaths, I pushed the vail with his fingers brushing with mine and spreading this unknown feeling inside me.

When we were done with pushing it up he slowly put me down but did not let me go out of his hold. Our close proximity was doing things to my mind and body. When I tried to move away from his strong grip. Instead, he took my hand and pressed it down with another one at my waist. Now he was completely hugging me from behind with his front pressing my back hard. I started taking more shaky breaths. I could feel his hard chest muscles on my back.

My breath hitched once more when I felt his breath tickling my skin near my ear. "Don't get cozy with that decorated in my absence. You know I will find out if you do. Do what I say to you my wild cat if you want to see him alive be a good girl and stay away from him for his own good" he said in his spine chilling voice. It made me go numb and mute at the same time. When I didn't respond to him he pressed my back more to his hard chest if it was even possible.

"Understood," he asked in the same voice. It was telling me he will kill him without second thoughts. Suddenly the beaten face of Ryan flashes in front of my eyes and it forces me to nod my head in yes, still taking a shaky breath.

"Good girl," he said in his husky voice while nibbling my earlobe. It made me stop breathing while closing my eyes hard trying to stop myself from feeling this unwanted sensation clawing on my sensitive skin.

Looking at my response at his touch I felt him smirking on my skin. Then he places the last kiss at the junction of my neck and shoulder and lets me go. I took hold of the pillar to support my numb body. Taking deep shaky breaths I turned around to look at his retiring back. I kept staring at his retiring back with angry tears forming at the corner of my eyes.

His words, his touch, his nearness. Everything is making me hate him more because they are getting successful in getting into my skin.

All of this I hate the most is the power he has started to have on me. I was the only master of my own body but now it has started to obey him too.

I just hate it.

Having power over some is a great thing. He or she can rule the world with it. It can take you to the highest peak of your wants and wishes but it also can be the biggest reason for your downfall too. Don't you agree with me guys?

Nina feels that Jack has power over her but it will be more interesting to know if Nina too has power over Jack.
