Than fucking lier.

"Nina" Skyler again called my name when I didn't respond to his previous calling. Lifting my eyelids I looked at him with narrowed glary eyes. I was seeing Jacks lying face in his and my glare deepen. 

I just want to punch him so bad. 

"Easy women! I was just calling you to say you left your handbag inside the car, don't burn me with your glaring eyes for that," he said while removing his hands away from my arms and lifting them in the air in his defense manner. I realize I was looking at him with a murder glare. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Just the thought of what Jack did to me is making me burn in anger but I can't take it out on anyone else other than him. 

"I'm sorry I...I was just thinking about something," I said with a small smile while looking at his face. 

"It better be not burning my corpse in this farmhouse past midnight," he said with a lopsided smile. His jokes and him. 

"Well I'm definitely going to do it but don't worry you are not on the top of my list but some else is," I said with an evil smile. He breathes in relief dramatically with a mischievous grin on his lip. 

"For the first time in my life I'm feeling relieved that I'm not on some women's top list and it is making me so happy" he replied with a playful smile on his face. 

"Well don't feel so relieved about it because you are on someone's top list to get buried someday," I said with an evil smile making him lose his playful smile. 

"We will see about it," he said in his firm cocky voice while taking out his bag from a car hood. "Come inside soon before a werewolf takes you away," he said in his firm voice but I saw the corner of his lip was curled a little bit. 

After taking his bag he went inside the farmhouse. I moved my head in amusement. He is saying it because the farmhouse Is in the middle of the forest. But I totally loved how his demeanor changed after listening to my words. I bent and took out my handbag from inside and closed the door of the car when I was done. As I turned to go inside the house I was pressed into the car by none other than Satan of my life making a sudden gasp left my mouth by his startling appearance. 

What the hell is it with him? 

Looking at his lying face made me want to punch his face but before I could say anything he pressed his lips to mine. Getting me totally off guard making my handbag slip and fall down from my hands. He didn't even give me a second to process what was happening because he kept kissing me while taking my breath away with each movement of his lips on mine. My heart was palpitating wildly.  I was heavily breathing when he spared my lips and rested his head on mine. I want to yell at him for playing with me like this but I was in no state of speaking. 

"I don't like it when you talk with him. I feel like breaking the hell out of him when you smile at his senseless talk," he said a little breathlessly while looking straight in my eyes it made me gulp involuntarily. 

"Huh," I asked, not processing what he said. His abrupt kiss has taken away all my senses with each stork on my lips. 

Then it clicked to me he was talking about Skyler. He smirked at my reaction as he knew what he did to me. He took a few deep breaths with closed eyes like calming himself and then he opened his hooded eyes and looked at me. His mear eye movement made butterflies flap their wings in my stomach, giving me these jitters inside me. I was looking at him dumbfounded. The corner of his lip curled a little, looking at me, making me look at him with little furrowed eyes. He pecked my lips with his full one getting again off guard. 

"Let's go in," he said with a big smirk on his face while getting my bag from the ground and taking my hand in his. 

What is this man doing to me? Shouldn't I be shouting at him for making a fool out of me but instead of confronting him, I'm following him with my hand in his without any protest. 

This thought lingered in my mind as I followed him inside. We went inside and I saw everyone was standing and discussing something. What are they talking about? 

"See Nina is here. I will stay with her as rooms are less" said Jane in her frantic voice. I looked at her and she gestured to me to say yes and I could see she didn't want to stay in the same room as Zanvil. 

"Yes I will share a room with Jane as rooms are limited," I said with a smile on my face to support her and was about to go and stand beside her but he was holding my hand in his in a firm grip. It was clear in his eyes that he didn't like me sharing a room with Jane as if I care. I removed my hand from his firm grip and stood beside her. 

"Now I and Nina will share a room and in one room aunty and uncle will stay and boys can stay in one room," Jane said with a delighted smile. All the three boys groan in dislike. Skyler took his bag and headed to his room. Whereas Jack's and Zanvil's eyes were fixed on us. Zanvil took his bag with pissed faces and followed Skyler while not sparing a glance at Jane who was standing beside me with a troubled look on her face. 

"Let's go, Jane," I said to her while taking her hand. 

"Jack, will you help us with our luggage," she asked him, to which he nodded. 

Why does she have to ask him? 

We went to our room with hurried steps. I was feeling Jack's burning gaze on my back. We entered a room he followed us in and kept our luggage. He looked at me with his instance gaze making my butterfly in my stomach fly. I breathed in relief when he left the room. His predatory gaze won't be on me anymore. Jane looked more than happy to not be with her husband. She went and lied down on the bed enjoying its softness. I moved my head in amusement while dragging my bag near the bed to remove changing clothes.

“Your baby seems so angry with you,” I said breaking her peaceful movement.

“What are you trying to say,” she asked while lifting her head a little bit up to see me. She knows what I'm trying to say. 

“He is not happy with your decision,” I said looking at her while taking my clothes to change. Those words of mine flashed Jacks' face in front of my eyes. Even though I'm his personal maid, I'm not bound to stay with him in the same room here. After all, I just hate being in the same room as but.

But you both were in the same room in the same bed last night doing what you should have done. 

My inner voice said.

I didn't do it willingly. He took advantage of my drunken state.  

“Tell me something new,” she exclaimed, taking me out of my thoughts. 

“But I'm happy with my decision. You know I don't want to be left alone with him and this was the best option I ever had. I want to stay away from him as much as I can” she explained. I can understand her. If she is not ready for it she can stay away and think about it. After all, everything happens in such a rush. Before she knew she was married to the devil of her life. It's hard to cope up with new life in such a short time span.  

“I totally understand. I know how it feels when you have completely left alone with a prick head. They don't even let go one chance of getting in your pants” I said while exclaiming and remembering what happened last night. It makes my chest tight with this unknown weight on my chest. I was in deep thoughts when I heard her voice.

“Forget it he will be good in some time. He was always like this but something seems different this time” she said while thinking about something. I told you it is hard to get used to a new life. For her, till now he was only a man in his house she used to live but now that status has changed and upgraded. 

“Of course it will be. Before he was not your husband but now he is” I said while looking at her letting her know what the difference is now. She nodded her head a little while getting lost in her thoughts. Taking my clothes I went and changed into a comfortable one. We will have dinner and go straight to sleep. Wearing my pajamas I came out to find Jane still lying on bed lost in her thoughts. 

"Jane, get changed fast, we have to go down for dinner," I said to bring her back to the real world. 

Listening to me she nods her head. Taking her clothes she went to change into it. After she was done we both went down for dinner and everyone was already present there. The caretaker of the farmhouse had made enough delicious food for all of us. My stomach growled at the sight of delicious food. I only had a small amount of food during brunch as my head was aching so badly. But after I took medicine from Jane I felt better but I didn't eat anything else after it.   

Taking my seat I started filling my plate. As I was devouring my food I felt eyes on me. Jack was eating his food lazily while his predatory eyes were following my every movement. I can't believe my eyes. He is playing with his food. Averting my eyes I continued eating my remaining food. My phone buzzed saying I have a message. 

Who is messaging me this time? 

People I know are all present here with a little bit of curiosity. I opened my phone to find Jack had messaged me. 

'Meet me after dinner' it was written in bold letters. Lifting my head up I looked at him. He was looking at me with the same gaze. He gestured to me to reply to me back but I kept my cell phone aside and continued eating. 

"Nina, what do you say should we take a walk in the garden after dinner," Skyler asked me with a small smile on his face. I averted my face and looked at Jack. He was waiting to listen to what I say. 

"Yeah sure why not," I said while looking straight into Jack's hard light brown eyes. His jaw clenched when I indirectly refused to meet him after dinner. With an angry look in his eyes, he started eating his food while looking at me and Skyler. 

"Let's go," Skyler said when I was done eating my food. 

"Yeah let's go," I said with a small smile feeling Jack's heated watch on me. 

"Jane you coming," Skyler asked Jane, who was lost in her own thoughts after Zanvil left the dining table without eating much. Zanvil was behaving little differently and I think that's what was bothering her.

"Yeah," she said with a small node and followed us. Whereas uncle and aunt retired for their bed. We all three were walking in the garden. I and Jane were lost in our own thoughts. 

"Am I walking with two dead bodies?" Skyler said, suddenly taking both of us out of our lost thoughts. "What's the matter with both of you," he asked in his serious voice when we both didn't answer him. 

"Nothing" Jane mumbled in her small voice. "You guys continue your walk. I'll go and get some rest" she said and went before we could ask her anything. We both looked at her retiring back. 

"I can understand her situation but what's wrong with you," Skyler asked me as I didn't say anything. I wanted to tell him what happened yesterday but I was feeling so embarrassed about what happened and how I behaved last night. 

"Don't tell me something happened between you and Jack last night?" he asked in his suspicious voice while looking at my wretched expressions. 

Should I tell him what's going on with me and Jack or should I keep it to myself. I was not able to tell anything to Jane as she has her own problems. If I kept everything inside me I will go mad soon. With all thoughts in my mind, I took his hand to make him sit with me on the bench. I took a deep breath before opening my mouth. 

"Actually I don't remember exactly what happened last night between him and me," I exclaimed in my unhappy voice. 

"What do you mean by it," he asked in his uncertain voices. I can't tell him the maid thing so I have to tell him the short version of everything. Maybe talking about it with him will give rise to some solution to what happened yesterday between us. After all, he is my best friend.  

"I found myself naked in his bed in the morning and I don't know exactly what happened between us last night because I was so drunk. But when I asked him he told me I forced myself on him," I said in my unhappy low voice while putting my head down. 

"What you forced him!" he asked in his stunned voice. He too can't believe in such a thing. I lifted my head and looked at him. 

"I felt so guilty about it but today I remembered a part of my fogged memory where he was the one who willingly took advantage of my drunken state," I said in my low voice. 

"Don't you remember anything else?" he asked in his still stunned voice. 

"No, I tried to but it's all fogged up," I said in a huff. 

"So you know you were not the one who forced yourself on me. What do you want to do next," he asked in his concerned voice. 

"I don't know I don't want to get married to him but every fucking thing happening in my life is pushing me an inch near him all the time. It's making me so confused and frustrated at the same time" I said in my annoyed voice. Skyler was listening to me quietly. That's what I need the most now. I needed someone to listen to all my troubling thoughts. After sharing my troubling thoughts with him the invisible weight on my chest felt little light. 

"If I ask you something you won't mind right," he asked in his serious voice. The way he asked made me feel nervous suddenly. 

"Why are you asking me like that?'' I asked with a nervous smile while looking at him. 

"Why don't you want to get married to Jack after all you guys have been engaged from so long," he asked in the same serious voice while looking straight in my eyes, making my nervous smile slip away from my face. 

Why did he have to ask this question to me? 

I felt a lump forming in my throat. I averted my eyes away and looked at the ground while gripping the bench with my both hands. I still felt his questioning gaze on me. He was waiting for my answer. 

"Don't you know I hate him and he too hates me" I mumbled in my small voice while still looking at the muddy ground. I don't want to look at him. I didn't want him to see what was going on inside me. 

"Why do I feel like you are not telling me the real reason behind all this arrangement. If you too hate each other then why didn't you ask your dad or his family to break this engagement" he asked in his suspicious voice making my chest contracted even more. 

I felt my breath quickening remembering under what circumstances this arrangement was made. I'm trying my best to get out of this arrangement but deep down I know I won't be able to stop these things happening in my life. I'm so bad trying to change my fate. Remembering the past always brings this bad memory with it. Warm tears started to form in the corner of my eyes. I bit my lip from stopping myself from crying. 

"Nina, look at me," Skyler said in his soft voice after seeing how quiet I was. I still had not replied to his question and it's not in me to answer his question. But he is expecting an answer from me as my very good friend. With glassy eyes, I kept looking at the muddy surface. 

"Nina, look at me," he again said in a soft voice while turning my face with his fingers on my chin and made me look at him. "Don't force yourself if you don't feel like saying it?" he said in his calm soft voice while making me look at him. 

"Just remember I understand you and you are not alone in this. I will always be beside you if you need me," he said in his calm voice with a small assuring smile. His words were genuine because I could clearly see in his eyes. They were promising me he will support me in any situation if I need help. I faintly smiled at him with glassy eyes. 

"I know," I said in my crying voice. 

"Come here," he said with a big smile while hugging me tightly squishing the air out of my lungs. 

"I can't breath," I said in my air deprived voice. It made him lose his grip on me, making me laugh at his action that he didn't let me go from his warm embracement. I rested my head on his chest and hugged him back. I felt good with this feeling of someone supporting me without judging if I'm right or wrong or in what kind of mess I'm. 

"By the way do you know something," he asked in his soft voice. 

"What," I asked looking up from his chest. 

"That you look like a piglet while trying not to cry," he said with a playful smile on his face making me glare at him with my fake glare. 

"You know what this piglet can do too," I said in my mischievous voice making him look at me with a little trouble in his eyes. I liked how he got scared of my words. 

"No I don't want to know," he said while letting me go, making me laugh at his actions. He stood up with an alarmed face. 

"Too bad because I'm still going to show you, do you know I have very sharp teeth and paws," I said with an evil smile on my face. Listening to me he started running like a scared puppy making me laugh. I too ran behind him. I was chasing him while laughing hard. He was laughing too with me while running seeing our childish act. 

"I can't run more," he said breathlessly while bending and putting his hands on his knees feeling exhausted. 

"Me too," I said breathlessly we still had the smile on our face. Standing straight he came near me. 

"Feeling better, my little piglet," he asked with a smile on his face while pinching my cheeks. I nodded my head with a smile. I was able to forget all my worries. Now I feel good after talking with someone. The feeling that someone will stand with you makes adrenaline run through your veins giving you the courage to face your problems with a smiling face. 

"Let's go," I said as I was feeling tired from all-day events. 

"Yeah let's go I'm tired too," he said while putting his hand on my shoulder. We both started walking back to the house when I saw a silhouette standing at the door. As we moved further there was no one standing there. I must be imagining things. 

"Good night my piglet and stop overthinking," Sky said while looking at me then he kissed me on my forehead with a smile on his lips. In response, I nodded at him. 

"Good night," I said with a smile on my face. I went to my room and saw Jane was sleeping peacefully. I lied down beside her but in some time Jane turned and hugged me. I thought she was sleeping. 

"I know something is disturbing you badly and I know you don't want to tell because you think I already have so many problems. Even if you don't tell me I will always be there to support you" she said in her sleeping voice while still hugging me. 

"I know," I said with the heavy throat. Even if I try to hide from her she always comes to know I'm in some kind of problem. Thank you, God, for blessing me with such good friends. I know they will stand beside me in my good or bad times. With this thought, I slept with a smile on my face. 

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. There was no water bottle or jar in the room. The housemaids must have forgotten to keep one. Removing my blanket from my body I got out of the bed. Getting out of our room I headed towards the kitchen. All the lights were off. While crossing the big living room I saw a shadow of a figure sitting on the couch. When I moved further the face of the person sitting in the shadow became clear as moonlight was straight following in his face. 

Jack was sitting in with a glass of what looked like alcohol in his hand. I cursed at my bad timing. As I moved further he lifted his predatory eyes and looked at me as his eyes met mine his gaze became harder than before. The anger was visible in his eyes because I refused to meet him after dinner. His hard glare made me almost stop in my path but I made my numb going leg muscles move fast. 

I have to get out of here before he decides to do something to make me stop. With hurried steps, I went inside the kitchen and took a bottle out of the refrigerator. I will drink water after going back to my room. I turned and stared head out but I stopped as I saw him standing in front of the door blocking my way to go out. He was standing with his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants. I could see the dark marks on his neck. It made me remember last night making my chest tight. 

Looking at him blocking my path made me stand still in my place while pressing the bottle to my chest where my heart was beating very fast. His light brown eyes were following all my movements. He started taking his steps in my direction with hard-faced. I could even judge what was going inside him. I gulped as his eyes moved all over my face. It made me take one more step backward. 

Soon my back was touching the kitchen counter. I stood there with the bottle still pressing to my chest. Now he was standing in front of me with his hands still in his pockets. The moonlight falling on his face was making his light brown eyes look more light like they were the eyes of Satan he is. He was standing in front of me without saying anything was making me more nervous about our situation. 

His predatory eyes we're moving all over me. It felt like he was touching me all over my body without moving his fingers. He was standing just a few inches away from me and gazing at my face with his cold predatory eyes. The silence between us was becoming thicker with each passing second. I tried to slip away from the side but he didn't let me as he removed his one hand and kept on the kitchen counter while his other hand was still in the pocket of his sweatpants. 

He moved his face near me. It made me grip the bottle more tightly. His warm breath was fanning on my neck passing an unwanted shiver to my spine making me involuntarily close my eyes. I could smell a faint smell of alcohol coming from him. 

"Had pleasure taking a walk with your ex-boyfriend?" He asked in his calm spine chilling voice making me look at him with wide eyes. 

"It doesn't even surprise me anymore because that's what I expect from a woman like you who refuses to meet her fiance but happily runs behind her ex-boyfriend," he said in an in his sharp voice. His each and every word was filled with bitterness. It made me look at him with more wide eyes.  

What is he trying to say?

This angry thought lingerie in my head.

Moving his face away from my ear he looked at me with a hard hated glare. 

"Crying on your ex-boyfriend's shoulder for escape won't help you don't you know that," he said in his same voice. "What are you trying to say," I asked in my angry voice. I was not able to Leo my mouth shut any longer. 

"I feel pity for you looking at your every failed attempt of being free from me. Let me tell you one thing no one can take you away from me. I will burn each and everyone who dares to stand between us" he said in his spine chilling voice. He can't say anything he wants. even if I lose this war I'm still going to fight it till my last breath. I was about to reply to him back when he glared at me with a hard glare telling me to shut up. 

"Save your all energy for the time when I show you to whom you belong. I will make you tremble beneath me and this time there will be no alcohol to make you forget anything," he said in his determined dominating voice looking straight in my wide eyes. 

"Trust my words, wild cat, that time will come soon and I won't show any mercy on you. Everything will be mine, your body, and your soul too," he said in his dominating voice. His words made me tremble with this unknown fear running all over my body giving birth to a big lump in my throat. Saying that he left the kitchen. I hold the corner of the kitchen counter for support and let go of my breath I was holding for so long. 

He just promised me that he is going to seize me. 

I hate the confidence in his voice.
