Chapter Nineteen: Perfect Match

Mr.Yves widened his eyes when he heard James call Clair by her real name.

"You-" She walked towards him and was ready to attack again but the other bodyguards were in front of her. She glared at them fiercely. "Move or I'll waste no time in killing you." She told them but they didn't listen.

"I warned you." She walked towards them and was ready to attack but a hand grabbed her wrist. James held onto her wrist and he shook his head. "Now is not the time." He told her and she violently took back her hand.

Clair sat down on a nearby sofa and tapped her fingers. She did her best to call down but she wanted to kill.  To be specific she wanted to kill him. "He's an unfinished mission of mine." She finally said.

"Mr.Yves I think we should let them sit down talk." Mr.Davis didn't seem bothered by the fact that his son was almost killed instead he chuckled in amusement. "Miss Yves it's a pleasure meeting you." He smiled and James rolled his eyes.

So his father knew….

"I don't think you will want me as your son's Queen. An assassin in the throne won't be a good image for you." She replied coldly and walked out.

Mr.Yves rubbed his temple. Mr.Davis smiled. "Go and get my daughter-in-law." He warned his son and took a seat. "Anyway as I was saying. We should go fishing…" He started up the conversation just like nothing had happened and Mr.Yves joined him.

Adan nervously sat down. 'Father you are too much.' He thought and worried for his brother. 'He found you such an interesting wife brother.' He continued his thoughts.

….

Ainara walked out of the mansion and sat down on the steps. When she heard footsteps behind her she got up and continued walking. "If I were you I would disappear." She warned him and James didn't respond.

"I saw you fall…" He said. "I searched for days." He continued. "How did you end up here?" He asked. "That's none of your business." She countered.

"It is." He replied. "I'm telling you. I don't care who you are. If you step on my bottom line I will kill you." She warned him. "Go ahead and do it then. What are you afraid of?" He replied. "I have never seen you lose your cool so easily. Ainara."

"Stop calling me that!" She yelled and walked further away. 'Calm down. Clair calm down.' She chanted. Her heart was racing. She didn't want to see this man again. Why? He witnessed her suicide. It's too humiliating.

"You will go inside and cancel the engagement." She told him. She had calmed down and suppressed her urge to kill him. He laughed. "You think your the only one that has the urge to kill? Even if we were on different sides we are still two bloodthirsty monsters. I won't cancel the engagement for no good reason." He answered and walked inside.

Clair gritted her teeth. "If you don't, then I will!" She countered and walked past him. "You can't and you won't. If my father passes the order you will be wife today. It doesn't matter whether you want to or not." He chuckled.

She halted and turned back to face him. "Are you an idiot? Why would you want someone who want's to kill you as your wife? This is convenient for you, isn't it? Just cancel it and we never see each other again." She reasoned.

He shook his head. "After we get married you can try to kill me as much as you want. But we need this marriage or both sides will lose." He replied and walked inside the house nonchalantly but only he knew the shock that he had received when he found out that she was still alive.

He didn't want to kill her at all. He simply defended himself from her attacks (he enjoyed making her angry very much)

His goal had always been putting her behind bars because it was his job and he wanted that as an accomplishment before he retires and returned home. He had only come back home a few months ago and his father informed him that he would be the next king and that he was already searching for his wife.

In her case, he is just a target that she never killed. She found him so amusing that she chose to have him witness her death so that he could feel guilty for watching her die. That was what she wanted and she succeeded. He had indeed felt guilty and he had nightmares about that day for years. But today he felt relieved. She had not died…

Clair walked inside the house and took a seat on the sofa. "Father, we will cancel the engagement." She announced. "We won't," James replied and nonchalantly sat down. Mr.Yves sighed.

"Dinner is ready." One of the maids bowed. "Let's go and eat." Mr. Davis clapped his hands happily and lead everyone inside the room. Even James followed leaving Clair stunned.

'Are ya'll okay?' She wondered. What kind of situation is this? She sighed and took back her clutch and folder from the bodyguard. She sat down as far as she could from James. She sat next to her father with a poker face.

They started their dinner with a long silence. It was halfway through the dinner that a conversation started. Clair only took small bites from her food because she was not all interested in her food. She had already lost her appetite. She started eating when the topic about her achievements happened.  She didn't want to answer their questions at all.

"I heard you started your own company at a young age. You were only 22 if I'm correct. I have to say you did an excellent job. My wife buys your products all the time. She is one of your VIP customers.' Mr.Davis commented with a happy smile. "It's an honor," Clair replied.

Even if she doesn't want to she has to show some respect. Not only is he her elder and father's friend but he's also a royal who she can't offend.

"Mmm yes, after she marked her name she took over as heiress," Mr.Yves added. "You are a true talent at business and fighting of course. You can even match my son's skills..." Mr.Davis complimented her in multiple ways and Clair would only respond with a short response.

James raised an eyebrow in her direction as if questioning all her achievements. She rolled her eyes and looked away from him. 'He probably doesn't think an assassin is capable of anything but killing' She thought.

"Wow, Miss Yves is truly a great match for my son. I knew I didn't make a wrong decision." Mr.Davis commented with satisfaction.

"I'm sure this marriage alliance will proceed just fine."

CRACK

The fork in Clair's hand was broken in half and everyone turned to look at her in surprise.

Adan leaned on his chair and gulped. 'The material used for that fork is not that easy to break….'

Unknowingly he had discovered a fear for his future Sister-in-Law…..
