Devil wears heels

CHAPTER 3

RYAN

"tomorrow " I look at my mom who was on the dinning table and my brothers who were looking at me like I was going a wrong part. They told me yesterday but I saw the news today and I was getting married tomorrow.

"Herbert is down and they want to rush the marriage" my mom sips her tea, Constantine Windsor is a beautiful woman. The way we protect her is something else. She told us to let her go on a dat that we weren't her boyfriend. But a man lays a hand on my mother, he dies. My father made sure her taught us that before he died. I can't imagine my mother having s*x with another man, I would kill him myself.

" Ice Queen" John my eldest brother says her name" she's like you, you've seen a perfect match"

" She's more for me. I am cal unlike Ryan. " Nelson my immediate brother says

" Shut the f**k up" I growled, I didn't want to be protective of a woman I just met.

" Ryan" my mother says softly. " If you don't want to marry her it is ok, your dad won't want this"

" Dad will want what is best for the company and family " I sat down on the chair and the butler comes in

" Someone is here to see you sir" I look at my brothers who shrugged and the door flew open. Nora, she doesn't let anyone come back to tell her come in . She just walk inside like it's her place, her f*****g palace. I warned her but she didn't heed my lesson, she will be taught a lesson.

" What are you doing here?"she looked tired and not put together like last time I saw her

" Did I look like I came to have fun?" She looked at my brothers " I am sorry, I think you know this is a fixed sentence and not an emotional speech, I came uninvited." She looks at my mother and something shifted in her, admiration " Mrs Windsor, nice to meet you"

My mother smiles at her and stands up" you are always welcomed here" what the f**k " Ryan said so much about you". She raised an eyebrow

I turned my back and start heading to the office upstairs, Nora like she is says something to my mom and follows me. She is invading my space, I hate her so much. I open the door and when she comes in, I push her to the door using her to close the door. She starts breathing heavily and I bend her hand behind her back and use my knee to pin her in place. My mouth comes close to her ear loves, just an inch and I have it in my mouth " what is wrong with you, invading all my space is that how badly you need me"

" I am forced in this marriage and now you are forcing yourself on me" I press my body to her and tighten my grip on her neck" do I look like I want to be anywhere close to you, you look like you want to eat me . Coming from someone who claims to hate me" I tightened my grip and her eyes closed shut, I expect her to beg but she squirmed under my hold and something flashed in her eyes. She enjoys it, she likes the violence. I will give her, I carry her head and slam it on my table

" Ryan" she growls" what are you doing, you are hurting me" she grit and I am sure she hates to admit it. As much as she hates me, she can't resist me.

" Just wait and I will claim you with everything I have, I will make your life a living hell you will wish you never got to see me" I release my grip and she stands up quickly. Hurt in her eyes, much coming from a self centered human being.

" I don't care whether you behave like a wolf. You can't claim me and I came to discuss things far more important" I take a good look at her, she's on this tight skirt that shows all your curves, note to stop her from wearing all those clothes when we marry. And her shirt has a deep v that practically shows half her chest, she knows what she is doing" eyes up here per"

I look at her face and she is not smiling, I have never seen this woman smiling

" Someone tried to kill my father" she paused to get my attention, f*****g business woman " Ifi dotgey married before he dies, nothing goes to my family

" I would really like that" I smiled wickedly

" I built the company and at leasty family deserves something, if I also get married to you I can also get protection with your name"

"You are marrying me because you want to protect your family?"

" Obviously, I said it. " Nobody dares touch my f*****g wife, whether I like her or not she is mine and they get to do it

" What if I don't want to marry you" I tested

" I won't be surprised, men like don't usually have common sense ":

" But we still beat women like you who claim to have common sense. Look at our companies " I smiled

" Get home and get prepared we will have a f*****g wedding tomorrow." I expect her to say more but she turns and walks out of the office muttering something incoherent under her breath. I let a full one minute pass before letting out my breath and the door opens with my brother coming in. John is the type of elder brother where your wife and.every female follow like a lost puppy.. although he is in his early thirties he looks like twenty seven and rocks his suit well. Last year he was CEO, this year it's my turn and next year Nelson's turn. Nelson is older than me but not business orientated, he is into technology. A f*****g nerd with bad boy vibes.

" Mom is whipped" he smiles" she likes your wife" says she is a good fit for you"

" And what do you say?"

" That she is right" he looks at me and smiles again

"What,?"

" Just wait you will be smitten" I growl

" I hate her" he nods his head

" You are already being possessive, typical Windsor behaviour. " When John married his wife lily he had to kidnap her from her family

" I can't see myself displaying that mad behaviour" I grunt and he laughs.

" Just wait, I told you. I am always right"

******

News displayed on headlines about our marriage. If someone wants to kill her father I don't know why they didn't attempt it on her, she is annoying as hell.

" Congratulations" my sister comes in with lily and Nelson's wife.

I grunt and bring my head down" raven what is the meaning of this" she kept on smiling and sat down

" You are getting married to ice Queen. I have always admired her from far, can't believe she is joining our family " if only she knew about the terms and conditions

" What do you want" she surely came to ask me for something. She bites her lips, now something is up" what did you do?"

" Don't be angry" Vera says, now I try to o ignore her. My brother married my best friend and they were dating behind my back for three years without telling me" we booked ticket for your flight to Venice for your honeymoon" colours came in my eyes and I had to closeyneye for a second to process everything

" The f**k Vera" I stood up and they laughed. " Nothing is funny, I don't know this woman and I hate her, how can you book tickets for honeymoon when we hate each other" raven stops smiling halfway and lily looked like she could be anywhere but here. She was forced and lily had that mischievous glint in her eyes " Vera !" I grunt, grinding my teeth.

" You'll like this, I promise" raven says and I tryy best to look angry, this girl is growing quickly and learning from our mother. They all turn and leave my office as if we came to discuss lunch, f*****g Nora.

NORA

I hate Ryan, I hate him soo much but his close proximity keeps doing something to my mental state and me admitting it will be the last thing I will do. I'd rather be disowned than admit I still feel his touch on my body. I walk to the park and I see a man pushing a lady in a corner. Typical me, I will ignore it but he parked in front of my car, guess I'll have to interrupt something.

" Please you are in the way" I look at the girl's face and I see relief, does she think I came here to become Peter Pan.

" Something is going on here" the man says and I sigh

" My car is behind, if you guys can take you business somewhere else I have somewhere to be" the shock on the girl's face was mixed with disgust. The man scoffs and comes closer to me

" You have some guts coming here" I looked at him, taking his belly almost coming from his belly, his face unshaved

" Do you want me to call the cops?" I looked at my watch " I am trying to be a nice person here, I don't have time to waste" I look at my car and saw a scratch " can you see what you've done" I was glaring at the last now, while she was fidgeting she scratched my car. " You are following me"

" As you can see we are together and I'll scratch your car nothing will happen" he said and scratched my car, now I was seeing red I took my time choosing this car before buying it

" There's something about wretched people like you, you don't know your place and you keep crossing the line. I don't know what s**t is going on here but if I call the cops it won't be good for you. " I removed my glasses to look at him clearly " while I am being nice, I want you to f**k off" I turn to the lady " get in the car now"

I walk to my car and he got in his while she got in mine, he drove quickly and I went out of the park.i didn't say a word and I could feel her staring at me

" Thank you" she says quietly

" Where were you trying to get my attention" I didn't look at her but I could imagine the shock on her face, I turned to face her" the next time you create such a scene and scratch my car, I'll call the cops on you for invading my privacy" she looked scared and shocked

" I just wanted to know you"

"Hope you've gotten your answers"

" What if it wasn't an act"

" I'll do what I normally do"

Her voice raised up an Octave" ignore me?"

" Yes .I would have gotten a cab, but I decided to pass the warning to you. I hate jokes and don't take it lighting "

" Don't you want to know who I am?"

" I don't give a f**k" my eyes still on the road and I heard her laughing

" Damn, I like you already" now that caught my attention but I didn't show it

" I am Vera" she extended her hands. What the hell, I am driving. " I am Nelson's wife and Ryan's best friend" now I was pissed upon hearing his name

" So this is you trying to check if I am right for your ex"

" Friend not ex. Yes"

" I don't care what you think but whether I am not right for him or not your opinion doesn't matter" I need to drop her now" do you think the marriage is on who is right or wrong for us . Your ex isn't close to the last person I'll ever want to date. You can conduct your tests but don't invade my privacy " now she was smiling

" You can drop me here" she announcesnand I change my mind

" I'll drop you where I want"

" Fine " she laughs and looks out of the window . The silence was comfortable and although I don't like being in the same space with people, I found hers comforting. " Congratulations" I looked ahead not saying a word and I felt her eyes piercing in me. " I like you even though you are being rude to me, I believe that is your mechanism to protect yourself" God, what is she trying to do now, psychology.

" I think you should drop now" I stopped the car I front of Windsor construction HQ. If she walks in, her husband might be in. She looked at me and smiled

" Thank you again and welcome to the family"

********

Finally, it's the Dday . I look in the mirror and I see my mom staring at me.

" You look beautiful" I believe I don't need to say anything because she is stating the fact. It is my choice to answer or not.

" Hey " my sister comesin and hugs me from behind" no matter what you feel, I love you" I looked sideways and met my mother's eyes. She was staring into my soul not eyes. The door opens and Rana comes in leaking breathless

" He is here" she looked at me and I don't need to think time to understand. My long ex who rejected me has come to my wedding, wherever frank goes he comes with troubles but I trust Ryan enough to deal with me. This isn't only all about me, Ryan won't take it easy and I'll definitely love for things to turn out as anticipated
