Nalini Pov

I opened my eyes half asleep, it was dark outside. I couldn't see much, but the dim glow of the bedside lamp was providing the only pool of light in my room. I fumbled with the covers and stumbled to the bathroom. After getting fresh I decided to wear something very plain and basic, so that he will think I'm a girl next door there is nothing interesting in me and maybe he will overcome on his obsession. But my sixth sense kept chanting to avoid him as much as possible. I know this dinner had a great importance in Abhi life to overcome his loss, so I have no option then to happily join this disastrous dinner.

I could feel sweat beading on my forehead as I was descending the stairs. My heart was in my mouth while walking towards the dining area. I spot him dressed like a gentlemen, he was talking to Jan and Abhi hearing my footsteps they all shifted their attention towards me. My mind went numb I was standing their like a fool I think I have flushed up my manners how to greet someone.

He cleared his throat and handed me a bouquet of white rose I smile spastic-ally with a forced expression. He scanned me from head to toe. I blinked owlishly, he forward his hand for me shake and hesitantly I did the same and planted a wet kiss on my hand making me flinch.

Throughout the dinner I was unable to make eye contact to him. His gaze drilled hole in my face. My mind kept chanting that the dinner goes well. The house was dead silent we can hear only tick tok of clock.

"Mr. Iverson plz have custard" Abhi speaks up breaking the silence.

"No I'm done.... Well Mrs. Oberoi you are a spectacular cook." He said while looking at me.

After few minutes

I heard a clink sound Van dropped his spoon to pull my attention. His grey orbs turn icy cold which made my heart skipped a beat.

"Go on a date with me Nal." He speaks boring his grey orbs into mine making more nervous.

Silence

"Go on a date with me Nal." He speaks through greeted teeth with clenched jaw.

My jaw hinged "No" I eyed him boldly and storm out of the room immediately.

"Can I talk to Nalini and Jan in personal?" I heard Abhi speaking in a tremulous voice.

"Deal with her or else loose this project" Van raved causing me to flinch.

Abhi came with a serious expression on his face. He cupped my face and looked straight in my eyes.

"Nal we are getting bankrupt Mr.Iverson's company holds 60% of share he is helping us in financially. Their company is world's strongest company. He can destroy anyone plz, accept his proposal." The germ seed of sadness was clearly on his face my heart choked on his saddened face. Abhi was self-made man he never begs he never succumb to a situation.

"I'll go with him." Listening those words his eyes warmed with tears.

"I'm happy that god has blessed me a sister like you." He hugged me Jan patted my shoulders. We all walk out. I was looking at marble floor not able to make eye contact with Mr. Iverson.

"Nal will join you tomorrow." Abhi said looking at me.

I nodded keeping my head low from corner of my eyes I caught him taking steps towards me, with his index finger he raised my chin to look at him. A storm of emotion was streaming in his eyes but my mind can't construe one was it lust or attraction.

"Well miss me beautiful." He speaks huskily into my ear while caressing my cheek his actions made my mind foggy.

Few minutes later

I was pacing here and there but nothing works. I'm a person who could do anything for my loved ones. They had done a lot for me at least I can compensate it with going on a date with Mr. Iverson, still I hate that fact I don't want to be in the same air he breath. I will do it for Jan and Abhi. My door creaks Jan comes inside holding a glass of water.

"You notice Nal he was giving you special attention" Jan said entangling her hand with mine.

"Are you kidding me Jan, I'm at peek point of my career and you know my bitter past. I'm not capable of enjoying these things." I raised my brow at her statement.

"He may seem to rough outside but maybe it just a mask. Don't let your thoughts ruin your future."

"I don't know." I roll my eyes.

"Hey Nal.......if his presence gives you butterfly in your stomach and if you think he has something in mind go ahead! Spend time with him get to know him and experience the wonders of being loved by someone." She cupped my face when I looked in her eyes a peaceful emotion was flickering in her eyes saying that everything will be fine.

We both were silent for a while my mind was replaying her words.

"Plz give him a chance for Abhi plz, this project can save us from loss and you know rest. We are not selfish it's just a date if you thing he is going out of limit then just leave him we will find some other way to overcome our loss........ you are a part of our family. One day you have to get married maybe he is the one." Her eyes became glazed with a glassy layer of tears.

"I'll do it for you guys." She pecked my cheeks and left me alone there with storm of thoughts in mind.

I tucked my knees into my chest staring at the wall thinking about everybody. I know how confusing it can be when you think a guy is flirting with you, but you can't tell... is he just being nice, or its lust. After getting deceived again and again, I have no desire to trust some one that easily. Might be I was in a situation where there are subtle things I'm trying not to read too much into, but in my heart I get the feeling that he's going to use me throw me. But then I doubt myself and wonder not every person is same maybe I was just imagining things. I hope everything will be fine tomorrow.

Jamarion POV

Heading towards my private jet I was going to Salem, Massachusetts to get the Obsidian stone. The stone was going to help me to grow my power and lessen the impact of curse on me. That was the breaking point of my patience I couldn't touch what was mine. My thoughts lingered to my angel and it gave me peace. Earlier hate and anger were the only emotions which were embedded in my soul so love for me was an alien word. But I was very selfish I wanted to protect her control and all she could do is to just think about me. I will marry her forcefully If she thinks she was tied in A FORCED LOVE-MARRIAGE (TO BEAST) I'll be fine with it she will be mine and only mine. Once I read somewhere that love is a door to lighten your life with a golden beam of sunshine it will lead your path to happiness. Earlier I thought it was bullshit, but now every single word holds a deep meaning. Her eyes were so innocent like the transparent morning dew in which you can deposit yourself completely. I was not only attracted towards her outer beauty but also towards her beautiful soul. If she could ever hide in the farthest corner of the universe I would be pulled towards her. I was no more afraid of showing my true self to her. This loneliness was silent killer for me and it gave chill in my bone and only my angel could warm me with her love. I lived with emptiness in my heart which became a dark void, moment were passing rapidly days became weeks and month then years then decades, my soul hunted only for her, only she could cease the rage which was seeding inside me from years. Before that I have to gain my powers and then I can take what's mine.

My phone buzzed I groaned my mouth quirks in annoyance.

"Sir you are invited as a Chief Guest in 5th Annual Conference on Marketing and Globalization it is go....."

"I don't give shit about this nonsense" I gnashed my teeth in anger.......... My concern was to get the Obsidian stone apart from this everything seems secondary. I feel Ill Fated when my angel was lying on floor and I was not able to touch her frail body.

"But Sir......."

"Marco......."

I sighed taking deep breath

"Vanassche will attend it" I ordered with a raspy voice.

"I pay you guys a damn high amount, so handle my work and if you think something really important then call me."

Moments later my phone buzzed again the caller id flashed Krishna's name. I gritted my teeth in anger they will not let me live in peace for a while.

"Boss we found Braden we are taking him back to New York"

"Good.....take him into my black dungeon........ chain him, hang him upside down feed him iron nails and prepare him for worst." He should know why common people named me Pitiless Cyclone I'll show him, who is real Jamarion Night. His deadliest dream going to come true. I hung up the phone.

Keep loving and cherishing my book love you all. May God bless you all.
