Force Marriage( she's mine)

Princess kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other with sweat all over her face. She was having a nightmare at the same time whimpering as if it was happening in reality. Suddenly, she jerked awake sitting up abruptly. She moved her hands to her head as the dream made her tremble. Unconsciously, tears slipped down her face in a torrent. She diverted her eyes to the wall clock. She widened her eyes, she needed to be at her work place. Not thinking twice, she jumped down from the bed dashing into the bathroom to freshen up. Within a twinkle of an eye, she finished up and stepped out of her room. She met her father, stepsister and stepmother sitted in the living room. “Morning dad, stepmum, stepsister.” She greeted in a hurry. The time was far spent. They all mumbled in response to her greetings. This did not bother her, she is used to it already. Princess got into a cab leaving her father's premises. Her father is a very rich man but this ground never gave her reasons to own a car or a driver. His mind has been polluted by his new wife and daughter whom Tabitha, her stepmother claimed her father owns. According to her father, her mother died as soon as she was given birth to. She has no choice than to believe this because even her stepmother who never knew her mother attested to this. She had her doubts but who can she spell it out to? Still inside the cab, her phone rang. It was her best friend “Princess.” Rose yelled through the phone making Princess jerk the phone from her ear. “Hey! Why will you have to yell? You've started your maddening behavior right?” “I know you miss me my love but you don't have to pretend not to yunno.” “Scoffs…can I call you back?” “Why? You're late to work as usual.” “What do you think? Don't worry, I will surprise you very soon.” “That's what you keep saying. Anyway, let's meet up after work today, I have lots of gist for you.” “Can't we talk over the phone later.” “No, we can't lazy ass. I will send you the location.” Rose concluded before hanging up the call. “That silly girl.” Princess muttered. The cab stopped right in front of the restaurant. She paid her money to the man before flying out of the car. With a sigh, she sneaked into the restaurant trying her best to avoid her boss peering eyes. Unfortunately for her, she was caught. “Princess! Come here, right now.” “Oh no…I'm coming boss.” She dragged her feet sluggishly to the counter where her boss is. “Boss, I'm really sorry. I was delayed by some things…” Princess was trying to explain but was cut short. “...Excuse all the time. You woke up late, that's just it. Now get your ass to work before I fire you.” “Thank you so much, boss. I love you boss.” Princess teased before running to put on her uniform. She got to work putting on a smiling face as usual while serving customers. “Hi…” A deep voice was heard behind Princess making her turn to the other side. She froze! Her eyes glued to the handsome face. Who was this? So handsome! “Ermmm…” She was brought to reality when he cleared his throat. “Oh, sorry. W…who are you?” “I'm Paul. I've started working here as at today.” “Really? I'm Princess. You're welcome. Henceforth, you call me superior.” Princess said with pride causing the young man to laugh slightly. “Okay, superior.” Paul said funnily “Good, get to work. Will talk to you later.” She said dismissively as she continued her work. Paul stood still looking at Princess's retreating back. “She's beautiful.” He wisphered. But the mission he had in mind still ringed dangerously. He strached his head anxiously before looking away. How he was going to start the work was something challenging. He has never done any menial jobs as this but all because of what he came to fulfill at the restaurant, he has to come. An idea clicked, he ran towards the direction Princess went looking around for her. He sighted her, moved closer to her and tapped her. Princess was startled, she was not expecting anyone at that moment. She turned trying to calm herself down but it was futile. She slipped! Her eyes closed instinctively as a gasp escaped her mouth as she slid to the floor gently. She was caught mid air by Paul who as well was suprised. What was she doing? And why was she so startled? Princess opened her eyes slowly only to see Paul's eyes on her. Something flashed through his eyes that she saw. What's that? Is it affection? She looked down from his face. Oh my…they were in a very awkward position with Paul's hand on her waist possessively while her hand rested on his broad chest. Broad? Did she just really have that thought? She removed her hand from his chest sharply before stepping back. “I…I'm so sorry, I did not know you were coming.” She stammered shyly. “No, no, it's fine. You looked lost in thoughts, what were you thinking of if I may ask?” “Ahh…nothing much. What is it you want?” “I just wanted you to direct me on how to do this work. I've never done works as this before so I need someone to direct me and I think you are the right person. “Oh…that will be no problem. Are you ready now?” “Of course. I'm totally ready.” Princess nodded as she handed a uniform to him to put on. “I think I should let you know about how some people behaves. You see those men sitting there.” She said pointing towards a direction. “They are very bad guys. Just make sure you don't do anything to annoy them. They are as well powerful enough to close down this restaurant. And you wouldn't want this to happen I guess.” “Sure.” Paul muttered. He smirked silently as he looked from Princess to the three guys. At the same time, those three guys looked to their direction. Paul winked at them! He wasn't disappointed, he was acknowledged. Princess did not notice this as she kept on talking to the person who was not listening. Paul smirked again. What was he up to? It seems he's after Princess!
