I promised myself in my firm determined voice. "I will make you lose this Hate War, Jack Miller" With this in my mind, I started walking towards my house at a fast pace while nibbling my lower lip in resentment. "I will enjoy making you lose this Hate War my foot I won't let you win anything" I mimicked his voice in irritation.

"Jack Miller in this life you can only win my hatred for you and nothing else," I said in anger while still cursing about how he is trying to show his dominance over me. All the things he made me do against my will start again revolving in my brain.

How he made me beg him for his forgiveness. How he made me beg for not burning the papers in front of my eyes. How he made me make coffee for him five times. How he forced me to kiss him and just a moment ago how he stole my kiss. Just because he has those papers he thinks he can make me do anything.

If he didn't have the other half of the power of attorney papers trust my words he couldn't even make me do anything in his dreams too. I'm doing all the things he is commanding me to do just for the people who I love so much. I'm following all his decrees by swallowing my pride just for their happiness or else my fist has shown him where to shove his commands and all personal maid stupidity.

He knows why I'm doing all this and he knows I will do anything to get those power of attorney papers. That's why he is taking advantage of situations and making me do whatever he desires. His evilness has increased to a level where I want to kick him where the sun doesn't shine. It has increased my hate for him even more.

"If he thinks he will make me do anything and I will fulfill his command happily then he is wrong. I will give him a hard time too," I said in anger while fisting my fist. "He will regret his decision of asking me to be his personal maid," I said with a smirk on my face and entered the house with this wicked idea.

I directly went to the kitchen to drink some water as I was so thirsty. I saw dad was almost done eating his breakfast. He looked at me and smiled but his eyes moved to my attire and his smile turned into a grin. He must be again thinking something out of this world after seeing me in Jack's sweatpants and t-shirt. I just rolled my eyes and went straight to the fridge to take a water bottle. I need cold water to cool my heated head or else it will just explode. Taking the bottle I opened the cap I gulped the cold contain. It felt so nice when cold water passed my dry throat and satisfied my thirst while drinking I looked at dad and he was still grinning. I again rolled my eyes at him and kept drinking the water.

"Am I going to get my first grandchild soon," dad asked from nowhere with a wide grin on his face. Listening to him I spit out the water from my mouth and started coughing hard. Keeping the bottle on the kitchen island I started rubbing my chest as the water went in the wrong pipe. Seeing my coughing dad came to my side and started moving his hand on my back in a soothing manner. "Are you ok? Why are you always in such a hurry" dad asked and started scolding me when I stopped coughing.

"Dad! from where things like this come to your mind," I said in irritation, a little breathless.

"What! Is it bad to ask for a grandchild?" he asked in this baffled voice.

"Yes," I said, taking the water bottle from the kitchen counter and gulping some of it to make go away the itching sensation in my throat.

"I'm old and I need to see my grandchild's face before dying," he said with a perplexed look on my face.

"No one is dying, you are fit as a trunk," I said. "And you are not having any grandkid anytime soon and especially not with Jack aka the big baby himself," I said in my annoyed voice.

"Well on this I trust Jack he said you both will give me a grandkid soon," he said with a goofy smile.

That Satan is planning family with me on my back doesn't he know he needs a babysitter to take care of himself? More like a personal maid. 

I balled my fist in anger. "So you both talk about this on my back," I said with narrowed eyes.

"What you want me to talk with my soon to be son-in-law," he said like he was stating a fact.

"Dad, he is not going to be your son in law," I said in my irritated voice.

"What's wrong with him? He even took you home and took care of you when you were wasted and when you're drunk it's hard to handle you," he asked in his little surprise voice.

He took care of me. I took care of him by being his personal maid.

I wanted to tell dad but I shut my mouth the deal was between us and I want it to remain like that. "Everything! and for your kind information I was not drunk he kidnapped me," I huffed while folding my hands on my chest with a serious look on my face.

"You again started with that kidnapping thing I knew where you were. Stop behaving like a stubborn child kitten. You are engaged to him and you're destined to marry him one day," dad said mimicking my actions.

"Well, we are engaged in prenup papers that don't mean we will marry each other. There was not even a ring ceremony,'' I said in an annoyed voice.

"kitten he's a good guy..." Dad wanted to say something but I stopped him with my hand.

"I know very well how good a guy he is. Dad, my head is already aching. I don't want to talk about Jack or engagement now," I said and stomped away from there. 

How I hate that Satan. He is so manipulative. He has already turned dad on his side. He made everything hard for me by pulling dad into it.

Reaching my room I started pacing form here and there. Jack is making his trap tighter by each and every day enveloping all the people who are on my side. If he keeps on doing it no one will be left on my side. What will happen when I tell everyone my decision to not marry him? What if they don't agree with me. In their eyes, Satan is such a pure soul. What if I succumb to his evil plan. The scenario of me and him getting married suddenly flashed in front of my eyes. It shocked me to the core.

"I won't marry him" I moved my head in denial. I didn't become his personal maid just for fun with those power of attorney papers, I'm dreaming of killing two birds with one arrow. In the end, I don't want him to ruin everything for which I worked so hard. If I want to not get caught in his trap then I need to do something now. "How should I get out of it?" I mumbled to myself still pacing in my room.

There is only one way. Find someone else to marry instead of Jack.

My inner voice advises me. My eyes lit up at that thought. "Why didn't I think about this before," I said in my happy voice. "It's a great idea then even dad won't force me to get married to that Satan. He won't want his only child to marry some else other than the love of her life" I said in a happy tone as if I got the formula to make million dollars.

Aren't I the best inner voice.

My inner voice announced. I just wanted to pat her back for giving me such a brilliant idea. I could pat her back so I pat mine with a wide grin. "Well done," I said with a wide smirk. I finally have something against Jack.

With this thought, I went to the bathroom to shower again as I was smelling like him and it was messing with my brain. I took a quick shower and changed into my own clothes and then left for Adam's place. When I reached there I saw everyone was having brunch together.

"Nina you are here. Come have brunch with us" aunty Jennifer said with a smile as she saw me entering the dining room. Everyone passed me a welcoming smile. 

"Thank you I was starving so much," I said and took a seat beside Jane who was a little lost in her thoughts. "What's wrong," I asked Jane in my hushed tone while putting an omelet on my plate. 

She looked at me then at Zanvil who was staring at her all the time she immediately averted her eyes from him and looked at me as said in the same hushed tone as mine "nothing I'm fine."

There is definitely something.

I moved my narrowed analyzing eyes from her to Zanvil and then they moved to the person sitting beside Zanvil. Skyler who was following my gaze. He asked me what's wrong by lifting his eyebrows in question. My narrowed eyes turned into a glare. I gestured to him that he was going to die by moving my thumb on my throat saying your dead man Skyler Adams. He mouthed me, sorry. But I averted my eyes away from him like a stubborn kid and looking at my action he chuckled.

"Skyler, why did you tell Jane about your uncle's health issue? I told you to just call Zanvil" aunty asked.

So that is why Jane's mood is gloomy today.

Listening to her, Skyler's body went stiff. I found Jane to become stiff on my side. We all looked at Skyler waiting for his answer. He took a sip of his coffee and cleared his throat before answering her. “They were together when I went there. That's why she came to know too” he said while still clearing his throat. I looked at Jane whose head was down in embarrassment. 

“What,” the aunt said in shock then she cleared her throat. I averted my eyes from red Jane and looked at aunty. “Zan didn't I told you not to meet Jane after her engagement to you,” she asked in an angry tone. Oh, I remembered aunty believed it was not good for Jane and Zanvil to meet after engagement till marriage so she told him not to meet her as if he will listen. 

“Mom, there is no need to do such a thing, it doesn't matter,” he said like it was not a big deal. I looked at him and moved my head in animosity. 

These men do whatever comes in their mind. Can't he keep his hands to himself till they get married?

“Zan it matters. I need to do something” she said in anger.

“What are you going to hire a bodyguard to make her protect from me?” he said in a mocking tone.

Nice ideas!

As if aunty read my mind she said happily “Yes, it's a good idea. Thanks, son for the idea.”

“Mom are you serious?” he said in disbelief. She was taking his random advice seriously.

“Yes, I'm. I need to save my daughter in law before marriage and I have perfected person for it. Nina can you do it for me” the aunt asked me. I stopped taking a bit of toast and looked at her. My eyes lit up at this opportunity. Aunt and I smiled devilishly at Zanvil. I was more than happy to do it. Zanvil muttered a curse when he saw my smirk. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Jane looking at me with hope in her eyes.

“Aunt I was just waiting in my life to save Jane from a bloodthirsty wolf,” I said in a mocking tone while looking at the devil.

He cursed under his breath more making my grin become wider. Looking at my enthusiastic eyes of saving Jane for Zanvil  Sky laughs at his situation. He knew I wouldn't let him come near her. On the other hand, Uncle remained quite whereas, on the other hand, Jane was so happy.

I will make sure that he won't come near her shadow too.

"You guys enjoy your brunch till I and your uncle discuss some important matter" aunty and uncle excused themselves.

"I totally forgot. Nina, I got your cellphone in the garden yesterday" Skyler said while handing my phone. Oh, there it was. It must have fallen down from my hand when that stupid Satan was manhandling me. I took it from his hand and started to examine it. "That's why I called your dad, he told me…" he was about to say everything when I stopped him.

"Stop it," I said in irritation looking at my sudden outburst. I saw Zanvil smirking at me. He definitely knows what Jack did to me. I glared back at him. Jane looked at me in confusion. "Ok now I have it, thank you for returning back to me my traitor friend," I said with a glare.

"Why am I the bad man," he asked with a perplexed look but there was a smirk on his face.

"Because you are! Jane, can I use your phone? mine is not working," I said while looking at her and not accepting any excuses from Sky.

"Actually I accidentally broke my phone yesterday," she said while looking at Zanvil. From her look, I knew he must have done it.

Ugh, These men! Why they always want to complicate everything.

"So we should buy a new one for her and get mine repaired," I said. Zanvil argued with her and me that he would go with her and buy her new phone but finally, I won. We left for the Mall, not before me warning Zanvil to stay away from Jane. He didn't like me stopping him from meeting his soon to be a wife. He threatens me not to come in his path but I know how to show him his place. I wish I had someone to protect me from Satan but somewhere I know I'm myself capable of doing it.

All the time we were in the Mall I gave the cold shoulder to Sky because of him I was in this mess. "Ok, Nina I'm sorry to leave you with Jack. Now please will you talk to me? I can't stand your coldness anymore" he said in his pleading voice when Jane went to try on a dress. I looked at him and again averted my eyes, not accepting his sorry. "Please," he said, turning me to face him with puppy eyes.

Well, it was not all his fault I accepted to be Jack's maid. I excelled loudly at that thought. I can't even be mad at him. "ok" I said with a small smile.

"Am I forgiven?" he asked with full teeth a smile. I nodded and he hugged me. "This time I won't let you be with him alone," he said, still showing me his teeth.

"Well for it then you have to act my lover now," I said breaking our hug.

"Do you want Jack to beat me into a pulp for being his fiance's lover?" he asked in his bewildered voice.

"I'm not asking you to be my real lover, you have to pretend. Can't you do this for me?" I asked with a pleading look. He is the perfect candidate for my plan and he has past experience too.

"Well just for you, my best friend I'm ready to jump in this hell hole," he announced with a serious look. If I didn't know him well I would have fallen for his serious faithful look. He is not even a bit afraid of Jack.

"You are saying as if you won't enjoy irritating him," I said rolling my eyes.

"Well, you're right. Let's start with our pertains. I'm so going to enjoy this" he said with a smirk while taking out his cell phone. He took three-four pictures of us standing very close. "I'm going to send him this," he said with mischievousness shining in his eyes. I moved my head in disbelief. In a minute my phone started ringing. Jack was constantly calling me. "Did the arrow hit the target?" he asked with a smirk after listening to my phone ringing.

"Yes," I said with a grin. I didn't pick his call, instead, I kept my phone in my pocket. After Jane was done we all went and ate the food like an old day and talked and laughed a lot remembering our old pranks. After going back to Jane's I decided to spend my night there so I won't have to go to Jack's place and be his personal maid. He kept calling me but I didn't take his call. At some point, I switched off my phone so he wouldn't disturb me. We both were preparing to sleep when Jane's phone started ringing. She picked up so I continued to choose the movie.

"Nina, it's for you," Jane said, handing me her phone.

"Who's it," I asked with raised eyebrows. I didn't want to take his call but if I don't accept Jane will start asking me questions so I took the call. My heart was already beating with little fear. I don't know why. 

I'm not even afraid of him so why do I feel like that. "Hello," I said in my low voice while going a little away from Jane.

"Why are you not taking my calls," he asked angrily. I was expecting this kind of outburst from him.

"My cell phone is a switch off," I said in my calm voice.

"What were you doing with Skyler," he asked in his pissed voice.

"We were enjoying our day out" I again replied in my calm voice.

"I know what you are trying to do. I'm just going to deal with Skyler the way I have always treated a boy who came near you. I'm going to enjoy breaking his bones" he said in his pissed voice while threatening me. My body shivered at his words.

"What am I trying to do? You can't harm my friend just because we went out together," I said, losing my calm. 

"Your ex-boyfriend! I will show you what I'm capable of doing to him and you too. I'm coming to get you now," he said in his dominating voice.

"I was just out with him. Last time I checked I can go out with whoever I want" I replied in my pissed voice. He was about to say something more but I didn't let him."You don't need to come here. I'm staying with Jane to help her with wedding preparation. Don't disturb me by calling again," I said in my mad voice and cut the call. He doesn't leave a single chance of showing his dominance over me.

The next day came too soon. Again I and aunty got busy in preparation for the wedding. It was only one day away now. We were all busy with preparation. Skyler too helped us in preparation. I didn't receive any call from Jack today and it was a good sign or bad sign I couldn't judge. I don't know what goes on in that Satanic mind of his. I was getting an uneasy feeling from time to time and it made me more anxious. It felt like it was silence before the storm.

"What wrong? Your face looks like you saw a ghost," Skyler asked when he found me lost in my thoughts.

I excelled deeply and moved my head in denial "Nothing is wrong" I said with a faint smile.

"Come let go and eat our dinner," he said, intertwining our hand with each other while taking me to the dining room.

My breath hitched when I saw who was present there. His predatory light brown eyes fell on mine and Sky intertwined hands then they moved back to me and an unwanted shiver ran to my spine. I gulped when I saw how his jaw clenched. My heart started beating fast as If I cheated on him and the funny thing was I was not even in a relationship with him. I tried to take my hand away from Sky hold but he didn't let me and made me sit beside him. We all started eating our dinner but Jack's heated gaze remained fixed on me. His heated gaze was making holes into me. It was like anytime I will change into ashes. It made it hard for me to swallow my food. 

"Why are you not eating your food," Sky asked in his hush tone when he saw me playing with my food.

"I'm not hungry," I said and involuntarily my eyes moved to Jack. I immediately looked away.

What is this man doing to me?

After dinner, we all were sitting in the living room when Zanvil and Jack came back from his study. He said his bye and left the house. He didn't even say anything to me and just left like that. You always wanted him to stay away from you and he is doing it.

Isn't it good then why is it bothering you? 

The whole night I didn't sleep. As I closed my eyes to get some sleep his light brown eyes flashed in front of my closed one. I couldn't even sleep for a second. This all was making me more anxious.

Today I decided to go to the gym. I need to blow some steam or else I will go mad. Taking my duffle bag I enter the gym. Many people greeted me as they saw me after a whole year. I went to the locker room and changed my clothes. Changing into my sports bra and short spandex I went to blow all my anxiety on the punching bag. I let all the power take over me and I kept punching the punching bag till my hands started aching. My body was all drenched in sweat and my hands were aching so with the last punch I let go of the punching bag. I galloped deep breaths as I was feeling breathless. I was feeling much better now. Lifting my bottle from the floor I sip the water while leaving the training area to go and take the shower in the ladies' locker room. While I was going I  saw people cheering as it was fighting season. People were cheering so loudly making me go and take a peek of the fight. It has been so long I saw all the intriguing fights.

"You know this fighter has fought five fights from yesterday and he didn't even lose even one fight," said one of the boys in admiration. "Yes man he is totally savage," said the other boy with the same excitement while going inside with another boy.

Curiosity took me to the crowd of madly cheering people. I moved through the crowd to take a better look at the fight. If the fighter is good I can't miss the fight. With this thought, I move further. It was a mixed combat fight, it was always the brutal one where fighters fought brutally. I liked this kind of fight. I too participated in it once and wine it but after that dad strictly forbade me from participating in this kind of the fighter after seeing my multiple cuts on my both hands.

When I was almost at the front I looked at fighters standing in front of me. The fighter facing me was twice the shape of his opponent but he was in bad shape as blood was dripping from his mouth and his nose was crooked. But his opponent whose back was facing me was moving with a speed of light not giving him a chance to fight back. He punched his big opponent again with the same lightning speed making his big opponent lose his balance a little. This time the crowd cheered more loudly. I saw the big fighter closing and opening his eyes while moving his head from stopping the spinning of his head. He was on the verge of getting blackout but he was still trying to fight back. The crowd started to cheer for a fighter whose masculine back was facing me.

Who is he?

Like he listened to what I said he turned to look at me and my eyes met with light brown eyes. My breath hitched when his predatory gaze fell on me. Everything around me went silent for a second when the realization hit me. His malicious predatory gaze moved from my head to toe making my heart beat fast. His jaw was cleaned while his light brown eyes were burning in lots of hate and anger. All the anxiety and fear I was trying to get rid of came running back to me.

I tried to avert my eyes and take my body away from him. Away from this crazy cheering crowd and ran and hid somewhere he couldn't find me but I couldn't move a bit. His furious eyes were fixed on me pinning me to my place. He kept looking at me with heated eyes and taking advantage of this his big opponent attacked him. His big fist landed straight to Jack's jaw making him come back to his senses. The crowd went silent for a moment from what they just saw now. Jack averted his mad predatory eyes away from me while his body took an attacking position with ready to kill instinct.

He leaped towards his big opponent with a speed of light and punched him hard in his gut. He didn't even give him a chance to recover from his hard blow because next thing his big opponent knew Jack punched multiple times on his face. The crowd went nuts over his brutal fighting skills. He brutally punched him making blood drip from his face while looking straight to me. A bad chill passed to my spine and it kicked all the air out of my lunges. 

Suddenly I started feeling suffocated in this crowded hall. His heated gaze was still fixed on me and I couldn't stand it any more gathering all my power. I ran to the girl's locker room. I suddenly found breathing hard. Jack's furious face flashed in front of my eyes.

"I need to get the hell out of here" I mumbled a little breathlessly. I took my belongings from the locker room and didn't even change into my normal clothes. I just want to go away from here. As I turned to go out of the locker room. The door was slammed open making me flinch at the sudden loud noise. He barged inside the girl's locker room with the same furious look on his face. His sudden entry made me drop my duffle bag on the floor in shock. His raging eyes moved from the duffle bag to me.

"Going somewhere," he asked in his spine chilling dominating voice as he started coming in my direction. I choose to keep quiet at his questions. I unknowingly started stepping backward. "Did you enjoy the fight?" he asked in a mocking tone with the same malicious emotions in his eyes. A lump started forming in my throat. It somehow was making breathing hard for me. My back touched the wall of the open showers stalls putting an end to my backward running away journey.

He was only an inch away from me and he was slowly cutting that distance too. I looked at the sharp features of his face. His lip was cut because of a sudden punch from that big fighter. The brutal fight scenes flashed in front of my eyes and it didn't make the current situation any better. Instead of fighting him back, I found myself looking here and there to find an escape but he placed his one hand beside my head caging me into his arms. His heated gaze moved all over my face with a wide smirk on his face.

He knew his dominance was having an effect on me. I took a deep breath to calm my heart but I regarded immediately as the air I was breathing was filled with his masculine scent. I closed my eyes for a second to get my senses on the right track.

Nina, be brave you are stronger than you think.

My inner voice motivated me. Gathering all my courage I looked at him. "Get out of my way," I said while swallowing the lump in my throat.

"Finally found your voice back, wild cat," he said in his mocking tone with an evil grin on his face. His continuous mockery towards me started building anger inside me.

"I said get out of my way" this time I said in my firm voice while glaring at him.

"No never. I didn't get into your way just to get out of it this easily" he said in his pissed voice making me go more into the wall if it was even possible.

"I never wanted you in my way in the first place," I said in outrage.

"Too bad because I'm already in your way and you can't do anything about it," he said with an evil grin while bringing his face to my level. I felt his breath fanning my face. My heart took a sudden leap when his warm breath tickled my cold skin. It made me clench both hand's fingers tightly into a fist. 

"Things always don't go as we plan Jack Miller. I will take you out of my path then you won't be able to do anything about it," I said in a mocking tone.

"And how are you planning to take me out of your path let me guess. If you think you will play a lover's game with Skyler and take me out of your life. Remember what I didn't do to that big guy a few minutes ago. I will do the same thing to him more brutally" he said in his dominating voice making shivers run to my spine.

"If you think threatening me will make me back away then you are wrong because I will never do that" I glared at him.

"I don't want you to back out wild cat," he said with an evil smirk on his face, making me look at him in a confused look.

Why is he making me so confused?

"If you back out, how will my beast enjoy making you fall on your face. Do you even have the slightest idea how my beast comes to life at the idea of taming you, my stubborn wild cat" he said in his controlling voice while burning his face in my neck and moving his nose all over the length of my neck spreading a burning sensation where even his skin contacts mine. He started taking deep breaths in my scent like he was calming himself down but his act was pushing me to the edge.

"I will never be yours to tame" I announced while lifting my hand to push him away.

I had enough of his bullshit.

But before my hand touched his chest to push him away he took hold of my wrist in a tight grip and pinned it above my head. "I'm sure going to enjoy making you succumb to my darkest desires," he said in his dark voice while moving his thumb on my lower lip, giving me a burning sensation inside. My knees felt weak and I found myself tongue-tied at his shameless declaration. "You were always mine and will always remain mine till my last breath. I don't even give the right to you to take you away from me my wild cat" he said in his harsh dominating voice with a tense jaw while moving back of his fingers on my cheeks.

His declaration made breathing hard for me. My chest heaved with this unknown weight. His words started closing all the open doors of escape for me. From his dominating statements, I knew I had nowhere to escape but my stubborn heart refused to accept defeat before a proper fight.

"I hate you," I said what my heart screamed. He sneers listening to me evilly. 

"The feeling is mutual," he replied with the same smirk. Saying that he started the shower making cold water reach both of us. A cold chill passed to my spine making me flinch when cold water touched my skin. "Enjoy your few days of freedom because after it ends I will take you away to where you belong from the beginning," he said while moving his thumb again on my little trembling lower lip it made me look at him with wide shock eyes.

Saying that he left me making me slide down on the floor while the water ran all over my body. My breath heaved with each passing second as his words sank more into me.

It was making me realize his words are going to be my reality soon
