Chapter 1A NIGHT WITH MR.UNKNOWN

ARIS'S POV

My head hurt a lot, and it wouldn't stop. Every beat made me feel really bad about what I did. I groaned and shut my eyes harder, hoping to sleep a bit longer before getting up.

My mouth was super dry, and I could still feel the makeup from last night around my eyes. I must have done some crazy stuff during my last night in Vegas, and now I needed a really strong hangover cure.

I groaned again and buried my face deeper into the soft pillows, trying to wake up slowly. The comfy bedding felt nice against my skin, but then I realized I was naked under the fancy sheets. It wasn't totally weird after a wild night in Vegas, but something didn't seem right.

My eyes flew wide open when I felt a warm, strong body move next to me in the big bed. Slowly, I turned my head, afraid of what I might see next to me.

The first thing I noticed was a man's messy chestnut hair and his broad, muscular back lying next to me. At least he was facing the right way, so he seemed somewhat together. Despite whatever chaos happened last night, this guy seemed to have kept it together enough to pass out properly.

Then I saw his strong arm resting on my hip, almost like he was holding onto me. And I noticed a shiny ring on his finger.

No!!

Oh God!!

no no no !

"This isn't actually happening "

I looked down in utter horror and saw a matching platinum ring on my own left ring finger. The sunlight made it gleam mockingly, as if congratulating me on some twisted achievement. I shook my head, desperately trying to snap out of whatever messed-up dream or delusion I was still stuck in.

Because there was absolutely no way I had been reckless enough to get blackout drunk and accidentally married this gorgeous stranger during a wild night of partying - right?

No matter how hard I tried to deny it, the memories of the previous night started coming back, slowly but surely. Hazy images of stumbling down a brightly lit chapel aisle with this same strong guy beside me floated back into my foggy mind. I remembered drunkenly declaring love in front of an Elvis-lookalike minister, exchanging rings, and sharing messy kisses.

As I sobered up, the harsh reality hit me like a punch in the stomach. The handsome man lying beside me in the luxurious sheets wasn't just a random hookup from a wild night in Vegas.

His bodyguards closed the door and he turned to look at the nerd "I think you know why I have called you here Miss Williams" The nerd fidgeted with her specks and looked up at the next heir in line to the throne. "If having a crush on someone is a crime then you can call me a criminal your Majesty" He smirked and stood in front of her seat making her drop her gaze to his thousand dollar shoes. "Having a crush isn't but stalking someone is" She kept silent accepting that she did commit such crime,not only once but multiple times. "Anyways what do you like about me Miss Williams?" He asked placing his both hands on the armrests and moving his face closer to her. She held her breath as her insides screamed anxiety.She could feel her hands turning cold while her cheeks burning with fire. "Is it my face or is it my family name ?I demand a true reply Miss please don't bother lying" She looked up unable to form words to express herself.She liked so many things about him ,how can she explain them all to him. "Well my dear stalker if you don't answer I am left with assumption." She still didn't reply.Till he stays this near to her breathing itself was a big task speaking was impossible for her. "okay then my last question Have you stalked about my love life?" She looked up into those pools of blue and moved her head in a no "Well that should have been the first thing you should have googled about me...anyways let me enlighten you a bit ...I don't do relationships...I don't love Miss Williams ..I just fu**...is that what you want from me so that you stop following me?" His straightforward question made her turn hundred shades redder...the word he used was enough to lower her gaze and burn her insides with a new swirl of emotions. "No" She managed to speak "Then stay the fu** away from me Miss Williams because I will only break your heart" He turned around to leave when he heard her "This is what I like about you the most Your Highness..your honesty"

"How dare you!!" His stare and cold voice made me step back with fear scared of what he will do "You clumsy woman!! Keep those disgusting hands of yours steady or go die somewhere!! How dare you hurt her!! Do you even know who she is!!" "Alessandro..stop..it's alright.." Andrea pleaded from behind but he continued "Lowlives like you don't even deserve to step into a place like this bit we were generous to offer you this job....but You being an ungrateful brat couldn't do one thing right.......Hell you can't even walk properly how come you were hired for this job!!" Endless tears were flowing down my cheeks as he continued to reprimand me "Alessandro..please...stop" "No Andrea I will not stop..can't you see what she did.....You are too innocent and generous... you don't know girls like her.....they envy you and when they can't compete against you they engage in these dirty tactics .....bloody disgusting people...." I looked up into his eyes ....my eyes asking him if this is what he thought of me... I was never this low... How could he even think I did this deliberately! "Oh my god...your hand..." Andrea said looking at my hand I looked down to see my entire hand turned red with blisters everywhere. I felt numb earlier but now as I saw my wound I started feeling the suppressed pain I was controlling. My tears betrayed me not just because of his words but also from the pain of my burn. Andrea rushed towards me with a worried look on her face "Maria..bring ..the coolant hurry..we need to call the doctor.." She was something else So pure and caring My eyes lifted to see Ando He had a expression I couldn't decipher His eyes were fixed on my burn but I couldn't tell if he was worried or not. But soon that expression was gone as he turned around and left. I looked at his retreating back wondering since when did he become so heartless. Everything is fair in love and war And this my friends is a war of broken hearts.
