***Sorry for late update guys I was not able to update yesterday because of some personal issues***
☺

Wh...what did he just say?

I was not able to process anything in my brain after hearing his words. Did he just say he wants to make me pregnant? How can he be so blunt with his words? I think I just lost my hearing capability too. Seeing my stunned expression he smirk wildly. 

"You heard it right," he said with the same smirk plastered to his face.

Did I say it so loudly? 

He again nodded at me with amused eyes. Making my eyes wide in shock. Now he can even hear what I'm talking in my mind. This Satan has now started to rule my mind too. Does he even know what he is saying? He thinks it's so easy to say something like that to a girl. I just want to smack him hard. With this thought in my mind, I glared at him but he glared back at me with his hard eyes. 

What if he heard this too? 

I gulped loudly at this thought. If the music was not playing a little loud I bet he could even hear that too. This was making me even more sacred. I wanted to get away from his tight grip but he was not letting me go. This man is messing with my head so bad. He knows how to play with a person's mind. I knew he would play these kinds of games with me and that's why I don't want him near me. 

My emotions were in total distress. And the fact that his predatory eyes were looking at my face with emotions that I can't even read was not making this situation any better. He is slowly making me go crazy with all his trials. My heart was increasing its pace by each passing second. 

"Let me go," I said when he was making all my efforts to get out of his vise-like grip in vain. Still, he didn't let me go and kept looking into my eyes where the storm was building inside me was going more rhombus by each passing second. I never liked it when he tried to read me. "L..let me go," I said in my stammering words while averting my face away from his predatory deciphering eyes. 

I can't stand his gaze anymore. It makes me feel so vulnerable. It would have been so better if I had said yes to go on a blind date with Mrs. Robert's son. Maybe I would have not got caught myself in this situation. It was such a good opportunity to get rid of him but I lost it. Maybe I still have hope. I tried to get away from him with this rambling thought inside me but he still didn't let me go, instead, he took hold of my chin in his fingers and made me look back into his light brown orbs. "So you can go and say yes for that blind date," he asked in a dominating voice making a lump form in my throat. 

How? I want to know how he is capable of reading all my thoughts today. Am I this obvious today. Have I become this transparent to his predatory eyes to the point where he can judge all my emotions? 

His eyes moved all over my face again trying to understand my inner thoughts. I lowered my gaze again so he couldn't see the storm inside me which has started to take turns. I took a few deep breaths. "Just let me go. It's my choice if I want to go on a blind date or not, it's none of your business" I said In my firm voice still not looking in his eyes or face and shoved him aside with all my strength. I don't want to be in his arms anymore. I turned while holding my head up and started walking away from him. But before I could go two steps further away from him he grabbed my wrist making me stop in my path but I didn't turn to look at him. 

"Everything you do. Everything you think is my fucking business because you know why you belong to me and what belongs to me. I won't let that go that easily. These weak attempts of yours going away from me will not take you anywhere but it will make you come back to me with more intensity than before," he said in his spine chilling voice. Making my heartbeat go wild. A cold chill passed through my spine. 

I didn't respond to his words. I snatched my hand away from his and started to take steps away from him. I had no words to respond back to him because what he was saying was slowly becoming a reality of my life. Many times I tried to get out of this mess, get away from him but the more I tried, the more I was pulled back with greater force than before. 

Suddenly I started to feel suffocated here. I wanted to breathe fresh air so badly where his cologne does not linger. Holding my gown with both hands I started taking fast steps before I knew it I was running out of the house. I stopped my hurried steps when I found myself standing in front of the fountain. 

I gasped for more air hungrily to feel my deprived lungs while closing my eyes tightly to make my heavying chest rhythm even. When I felt my breath becoming little even I opened my eyes to look at the fountain in front of me. I kept staring at the flowing water. I don't know how but looking at the calmness of water was making me calm too. I sat on the bench in front of it and kept staring at it with nothingness in my mind. I didn't want to feel any burden now and this nothingness in my head was somehow taking them away from me, making my mind free. 

I don't know for how long I sat there but after some time I felt someone sitting beside me. I turned my head to look and found Hazel sliding beside me. When she found me looking at her she smiled lightly and said "you don't mind me sitting beside you." I moved my head slightly in denial with a faint smile. We both sat silently for some time. 

"Oh I totally forgot I brought something for you," she said with a big grin while showing a bottle of champagne and two glasses in her hand, making me curl the corner of my lip in amusement. "I saw you running out of the hall and I thought it would help you to forget the things from which you were running," she said with a sheepish smile on her face. I smiled widely at her. She has come to me as an angel. 

Yes, I want to forget everything at least for tonight. I just want to be free from all my thoughts and all my responsibilities. 

"Thank you I need it so badly," I said while taking the glass from her hand. 

"I know it's the best remedy to forget everything," she said with a mischievous smile. She filled my glass till the rim and did the same with her. I looked at my glass. Alcohol does things to me but today it seems I need it so much without giving it second thoughts I made up my mind. 

"Let's forget all the bad things at least for tonight and be happy till it lasts," I said in my enthusiast's voice while clicking my glass with her and gulped all the sparkling contained the glass in one go. It burned my throat. It's the strong one just like the one I need now. Hazel looked at me with wide shock eyes while still holding her glass in her hand. 

"Wow," she said in admiration. It made my cheeks turn a little red. She again filled my glass till rim and said in her excited voice "this time let's do it together." 

I immediately nodded with a big grin and started counting with a little burning throat "One...Two...Three" as soon as I said three we both drank the strong sparkling liquid of our glass in one go. It again burned my throat. It somehow started to make me feel hot. I chuckled seeing Hazel's expression as this strong champagne burned her throat. 

"It's your first time drinking in one go," I asked, taking the bottle from her hand and filling our glass again. 

"Yes and my first time drinking this strong liquor," she said with a big grin making me chuckle again. She again drank it in one go. 

"Slow girl," I said with a little laugh making her giggle at me. I could already see this strong liquor has started taking on her. 

"L..let's d..drink more," she said while slurring a little and feeling my glass again. 

We kept drinking our sorrows by getting lost in our thoughts. I was peeping into the empty bottle to find if anything was still left to drink but I couldn't as there were two holes in the bottle and I don't know to look in which hole as they both kept moving. 

"I..I t..thing we need m..more alcohol," I said when I couldn't even find a single drop of sparkling goodness while looking at Hazel who was sitting with crossed legs on the bench and trying to get the last drop of Champagne from her empty glass. When she couldn't find anything she looked at me with pouty lips. 

"N...ina why I...l'm f...feel like crying," she said while slurring with the same cute pout on her lips. Listening to her my emotions kicked in. I too felt like crying. 

"Do...don't cry I w..will go and get more liquor for us," I said in my slurring words and stood up but I immediately sat down back as the world around me started to revolve. I blinked my eyes to get my vision clear but it was still not getting any better. 

"Why is he doing this with me," Hazel said in her crying voice while making me look at her with a little narrow confused eye so I could concentrate on one Hazel. "He is being so bad with me," Hazel said in her crying voice. 

Who is she talking about and who made her feel like that? I won't let anyone make my friend cry. 

"Just tell me his name and I will kick his ass for you," I said in my drunken voice while balling my fist in bitterness. 

"Really!" She asked with hope in her eyes. I nodded while showing her my fist. She giggled looking at it but again her facial expression turned to cry one. "You know he is so mean and rude too," she said while sobbing a little. I never knew the reason for her sorrows is a man too. Suddenly the face of Satan flashed in front of my eyes. I balled my fist harder. 

"All men are dogs. They get pleasure in harassing us. Just tell me his name and I will deal with him" I said in my angry drunken voice while trying hard not to slur. 

"Skyler," she said in her small voice, making me look at her with wide shock eyes when she took my best friend's name. What he has done to make this poor girl drink like this. I thought with the same stunned expression on my face. Looking at my stunned face she lowered her head with a sad face." it's ok if you don't beat him. I know he is your best friend" she said in her sad voice while sobbing a little. 

"My best friend or not if he behaved badly with you I will teach him a lesson. You are my friend too come let's go" I said in my drunk voice while standing a little and then sitting back on the bench. We both laugh loudly at my actions. "C..come girl let's g...go we need to t..teach a lesson to mean boy," I said in a firm drunken voice while trying hard to focus one Hazel. With hope in her eyes she two stood up with me while trying to stand on her legs without falling back like me. But we both again sat back on the bench while laughing loudly. 

"Let's try together," she said in her drunken voice while opening and closing her eyes. We both put our hands on each other's shoulders for stability while giggling at our failed attempts but anyhow in our third attempt, we stood up together. 

"I will kick his ass like this for harassing you," I said while swinging my leg in the air like kicking a football. She snickered at my actions while walking back to the house. 

"I..I will too kick his arrogant ass like this," she said mimicking my action making us both almost fall but we stable ourselves while giggling. We Both went back in the house with our sloppy steps where the afterparty was going on in full blast. The color full lights fell on my eyes, almost making me blind. "Wow I have gone blind," Hazel said while covering her eyes with her hand. I blinked a few times to adjust my vision which already made me see everything two. While adjusting my eyes I saw a bar where all the liquor was kept. A waiter was filling the glass for the guest. 

"Hazel look," I said while pointing my finger to the bar. 

"I can't see anything Nina," she said in her drunken panic voice. 

I looked at her giggled and said "first remove your hand from your eyes." Removing her hand from her eyes she giggled while trying to look in the direction of my pointed finger.

"Nina stop moving your finger I can't concentrate don't you know I have recovered from my blindness just now," she said in her drunken voice while opening and closing her eyes to make her vision clear. But I was not moving my finger. 

"Don't look at my finger, look at the bar, let's get more champagne for more energy?" I said in my drunken voice while dragging her with me. 

"More alcohol where, where it is," she said in her drunken voice like the listening to word alcohol brought her back to her senses. I still kept dragging her with me. I grabbed the bottle of the same champagne we drank and two glasses. I poured the sparkling pale liquid in both the glass till the rim and handed it to Hazel who was trying to stabilize her body with the support of the bar counter. 

"Let's drink some more before kicking some asses," I said with a big grin on my face. I drank in one gulp. I cleared my throat when the hard liquor burned my throat. I have still not got adjusted to this strong essence. We drank half a bottle when Hazel looked at me with a little serious look on her face. 

"N...nina can you teach me too how to kick ass," Hazel asked me in her drunken voice. 

"Y..yes sure w...why not. I tell you never let any stupid man tell you what to do" I said in my barfly voice. She nodded with a serious face like an obedient pupil. Looking at her sadness made me think of mine. I bit my lip in resentment and lowered my eyes. She doesn't even know what I deal with every day. That satan! 

"More you give them the power to rule you, the more they try to consume you with their power. If he tries to overpower it time to show him your fist. This is what Jack tries to do with me. He tries to read me every day and I don't like it. I can't even tell what he said to me today. He is so mean and arrogant. It makes my blood boilie like anything at his mere existence" I said fiercely while balling my fist in anger and took a mouth full gulp of champagne straight from the bottle. 

"He makes me feel things which I don't like. I just hate it Ugh," I said in anger and looked up to see here when I didn't get any reactions from her. I found her looking behind me with wide eyes. 

What is making her react like this? 

I took one more gulp and turned to look where she was looking. With a mouth full of wine in my mouth, I stood like a statue when I saw who was standing behind me. Satan was standing behind me with his hands in his pocket and a hard look on his eyes and clenched jaw. His hard predatory gaze passed a shiver to my body. I swallowed the content of my mouth in dismay. His hard predatory eyes moved from my face to the bottle in my hand and it made me hide the bottle behind me. Hazel tried to hide behind me. Besides Jack, Skyler stood with the same expression on his face. He was looking straight towards Hazel which made her hide more behind me. Seeing him I remembered what Hazel told me. I pointed my unsteady hand which was holding a bottle towards Skyler. 

"Y..you did so w..wrong with her. I'm going to kick your ass so bad" I said in my slurry dunk angry voice while charging in his direction. Before my fist could reach him a strong hand was warped around my waist and pulled me back to a very familiar hard chest. "Wait till I get my hands on you," I said in my drunk angry voice still trying to get away from the tight grip from my waist. Skyler was looking at me with an amused face then his eyes moved from me to Hazel and they turned back to a mad gaze. Poor Hazel was trying to hide from his mad gaze behind the protection of her small hands which were covering her flush face. 

"I'll take her with me," Skyler said in his firm voice while still looking at Hazel. When she heard it a gasp of horror left out of her mouth. 

"Nina," she said in her panic voice with a pleading look in her eyes when Skyler took hold of her wrist in his strong grip. 

"You will not take her anywhere" I yelled in my drunk voice and swung my leg in the air to kick his ass. 

But why do they become small to my vision? Because Satan is taking you with him. 

My inner voice screamed in horror making me realize what was happening with me. A wave of panic washed over me. Skyler waved at me with a big grin on his face making my blood boil more. Jack was dragging me with him out of the house with a tight grip on my waist. 

"Where are you taking me you evil Satan '' I yelled when he didn't let me go out of his tight grip but he still did not answer me and took me to the parking lot. He opened the passenger door for me but I refused to get inside. "Where are you taking me" I again yelled in my drunk voice when he refused to answer me. His one hard glare made me swallow hard but I still refused to go with him. 

"I'm taking you home! now get inside the car," he said in his dominating voice making a wave of terror pass to all my body. Saying that he made me sit inside the car again but I ducked down from his caged arm and started running. He soon followed me with a pissed face. Now we both were running in circles around his car. 

"Nina, stop running and get inside the car," he said in his commanding voice with anger following in each word. His dominating voice made my drunk step more sloppy. 

"No, I don't want to go to hell with you," I said in my barfly voice but to my dismay, he caught my upper arm and turned me with force. My front collided with his hard chest making me hiss at the force. His other hand moved in my hair forcing me to look in his hard predatory eyes. Our faces were just an inch apart. His hot breath was fanning on my face passing a shiver to my spine. Our close proximity gave birth to a big lump in my throat. 

"Get used to living in hell with me because it's going to be your home from now on," he said in his dominating voice with a clenched jaw bringing his face nearer to me while looking straight in my eyes. A gasp left my mouth listening to his harsh words. Against my protest he made me sit in his car and he fastened my seatbelt without wasting any time he took his seat and started driving his car. 

I was in a total daze and didn't even realize when we reached his place. I was in no sense to keep tabs on my surrounding. He opened the door of my side then unfasten my seat belt and tugged my upper arm making me step out of his car. When I saw his penthouse private lift my senses kicked in with a sudden surge of panic. In my drunk state, I didn't want to go to his penthouse. I don't know what he will do to me once we are in his den. 

"I don't want to go with you" I whined like a child in my drunken voice. 

"Stop making it hard for both of us," he said in his dominating voice when I tried to bury my heels in concrete to stop him from taking me. 

"I don't want to come back to your den to be your maid," I said, tugging his hair hard so it could stop him from dragging me. He winced in pain at my sudden pull of his hair. He gave me his supper mad look when I refused to let go of his hair and next thing I know he lifted me in his arms and stepped inside it as soon as lift doors were open with my hands still in his hair. 

"You are going to regret your actions," he said with the same mad eyes while looking straight into my eyes. I swallowed hard and immediately let go of his hair and put my hands on my chest in worry. 

What is he going to do to me? 

He looked passed me a big evil smirk making my heart run wild in total terror. As soon as we were inside his penthouse he dumped me on his big couch making me scream with fear. I sat up to yell at him but immediately shut my mouth when he glared at me with a murderous look in his eyes. 

"Shut up and stay here till I come back and don't you dare to touch anything" he warned me in a pissed voice and went somewhere. I bit my lower lip in dismay.

He first brought me here against my protest and now he is commanding me to stay quiet when I'm feeling like singing on top of my lungs. Why should I listen to him? Nina Rogers doesn't take anyone's commands especially not from Jack miller. 

With this thought, I stood up and alcohol was giving more courage to disobey Satan. As I stood up my stomach growled to make me remember I didn't eat anything. First I will eat something and then I will teach Jack a lesson. With unsteady steps, I went to the kitchen to search for something to eat. I opened the fridge to find something to eat. I moved all over and when my eyes felt on chocolate chip ice cream they lit up in happiness. With a huge smile on my face, I took the big tub out from the fridge and closed the door with so much force. 

"Shuuu" I shushed the door for making so much noise. What if Satan heard it. He will take away my ice cream and this thought scared me even more. I rumbled through the cabinets to find a spoon to devour my ice cream. As I opened the third cabinet my eyes lit up in happiness. I found a wine bottle inside and some spoons too. I took both of them outside and started eating my ice cream while sipping wine directly from the bottle. I like this combination. It was doing wonders for me. Now I can see everything three. 

Wow. 

Balancing my body at the kitchen counter I slide my ice cream tub in the process making all the plates on the counter fall down on the floor with a thud. My eyes widened in fear and I put my hand over my ear to shop for him to hear the noise. 

Thank Good, he won't be able to hear anything now. 

I giggled while looking at the floor "Shuuu you will put me in trouble if Satan finds out I touch his things," I said in my drunk voice to the shattered plates on the floor. Still giggling I took a spoonful of my ice cream and ate it and took a mouth full sip of wine. 

"Didn't I warn you not to touch anything?" I heard his spine chilling voice. My whole body went still when I heard his voice with a spoon hovering in front of my mouth. I slowly turned back to look at the pissed face of Satan. 

I was seeing three Satans standing in front of me. I blinked my eyes to make my vision clear but there were still three Satans standing in front of me. They all glaring at me then their eyes moved to the mess I had made. 

"Wow, how are you all able to say everything in sync?" I said in my drunk voice while giggling. He pinched the bridge of his nose when he heard what I said. I sheepishly smiled at him and put a hovering spoon into my mouth and then siped the wine. He immediately took away the bottle from my hand making me whine in protest. "Go get another bottle, it's mine," I said, my drunken voice not letting the bottle go out of my mouth. 

"Give it to me nicely," he said in his threatening tone.  

"No," I said stubbornly, not letting go of the bottle. 

"Nina" he again said in his same tone. 

"No, I will not give it back to you" saying that I snatched it from his hold and tried to run away but my drunken state didn't even let me go two steps away from him. He caught me and snatched ice cream and wine both from my hand. I yelled in panic. 

"Noooo give it back to me" I whined loudly like a child while stomping my foot. Before I knew he made me sit on the kitchen island. 

"Stop whining like a child or else I will throw all this in the dustbin in front of your eyes" he threatened me making me go numb. 

How can he do this to my taste ice cream and my delicious wine? 

"No you won't do that," I said in my pained voice with almost teary eyes. 

"Try me," he said with a big evil smirk making my heart sink into my stomach. With an angry pout, I looked at him and his eyes moved from my pouty lips to my eyes. He cleared his throat. "Now keep quiet like a good girl," he said in his dominating voice I bit my lower lip in bitterness. "Good," he said with the same smirk while patting my head like I'm his pet. 

How I want to kick his ass too. How mean and evil he is. 

With a smirk on his face, he went and bought a glass of water for me. "Drink it," he said while putting a glass of water to my lip. I gulped some water with a bitter look in my eyes. When he took the glass away from my lips I splashed all the water out of my mouth on his face. I started laughing hard looking at his face. 

Serves him better for taking away my ice cream and wine from me. 

He moved his hand on his face to wipe out the water from his face with a clenched jaw. He glared at me with a pissed face and next thing I knew I was dangling on his shoulder while he was taking me to his room. A pang of fear spread in my chest. 

"Put me down" I yelled but he didn't let me out of his grip. He took me to his bathroom and made me stand under the running shower. 

My body shivered when cold water wet my clothes making me gasp at its coldness. It brought my little sense back but so now there were two Satans standing in front of me. I tried to get away from the cold water but he pinned both of my hands on either side of my head forcefully making me stand under the cold shower while glaring at me with a clenched jaw. I glared back at him as water from the shower was soaking both of our clothes.

 His glaring eyes moved from my face to my drench chest and I saw how his jaw clenched, even more, I followed his gaze and found thin material of my gown was sticking to my chest making my bra viable to his eyes. 

"You pervert," I said in my drunk voice. Swearing he let go of my hands and went out of the bathroom. I stepped out of the shower while moving wet hair away from my face. "He is such a slimeball, " I said with anger burning inside me. 

Clothes came flying to my face and then I heard his hard voice "Change into it and come out of the bathroom." I could sense anger in his voice. I looked at the clothes.  

Wow, this time he even gave me pants. 

I removed my dripping wet all clothes and changed into a t-shirt and his shorts and came out of the bathroom. I saw two Satan's coming out of the closet with only sweatpants. 

"Come to the bed," he said in his threatening tone but I still refused to do it. 

"No, I don't want to," I said stubbornly. 

"Not again," he said in his pissed voice. He took hold of my hand and started stating me. But I started fighting back with him. The more I tried to get away from him, the more he tried to pull me towards him. We were doing a tug-of-war with our arms. This time he pulled me with more force making us both fall on his bed with me on top of him. He groaned in pain. I started laughing hard looking at his wincing face. He glared at me and I laughed more. 

"You look so cute," I said while pinching his both cheeks. I can't believe what I was saying in my drunk state. He kept looking at me with a blank face making me stop laughing. We both kept staring at each other and I don't know what got into me. I crashed my lips to his. His body instantly became still when I started to move my lips on his still lips. 

Then like coming out of his shock he started responding to me fervently. My mind was totally clouded with this unknown dark fog. I moved my lips to his jaw and then to his neck where I sank my teeth in his skin making a low growl leave his mouth. I kept biting his neck when he flipped me, making me lie under him. My eyes widened at the suddenness. He looked at me with hooded eyes and said. 

"I'm not a saint to let you go if you play with me like this," he said in his dominating voice and crashed his lips to mine and this new burning sensation consumed me. 

I opened my eyes when I felt light falling on my eyes. I turned and snuggled more in a blanket but the sunlight has already made me open my eyes. I found myself in an unfamiliar room. A throbbing pain started to build in my forehead. 

Wait what I'm doing in Jack's bedroom. 

In a panic, I sat up. I was about to throw my blanket away but I found myself naked inside so I immediately wrapped tightly to my body in fear. I tried to recall what happened yesterday but everything was blank and this throbbing pain in my head was not helping me. I heard the shower go off and in a few seconds, the bathroom door opened and Jack came out with his towel wrapped low on his hips. 

"You are up cupcake," he said with a big evil smile, making me cringe at his endearment. My eyes moved to his neck and I saw red bright marks on his neck and the fogged scene of last night flashed in front of my eyes when I kissed him. I gulped loudly with fearful wide eyes. 

What have I done...
