A Forced Love-Marriage (To Beast)

Chapter 17

My life didn't go as I thought. But still, I feel Positive towards Life. A Forced Love-Marriage (To Beast) By Nidhi.  

I saw lights coming from four directions of Universe It feels like my soul was connected to my positive side my better half Nalini my angel. All the candles were lit up with. This was my first stepping stone towards my angel. The feeling which I share with my angel is too rare but pure. The white light was falling on obsidian stone awaking its power. Taking the bowl which has water in my hand I drank the magical water which was energized by lights. I placed the stone in a honey jar and sealed the lid. The Obsidian stone has to be protected from the rays of the sun. This stone should be kept in a secret place and the stone can be touch by only me and Nalini.

This light within me gives me a hope that I rekindle a flame of emotions that was lost ages ago. It feels like she was my last hope to live in this world where nobody cares about me. Finally, I was no more alone. My life was caged in a room without no door everything was black here dead silent no hopes no dreams but she walked in spreading lights in every corner, she was my sunshine my new hope and my positive side too. I deep down knew it, my life was going to change in a positive way. She was my cure my medication my hope my new will my everything. Now our body, mind, heart, and soul are One, splatted in two bodies. This feeling and bond will be eternal. It is said that god connects the pairs in the sky. But our bond has been created in this world many years ago, which no one can ever separate. My angel to keep you safe I will follow you to hell. I'm your shield of protection and you're my shield for love and support.

After 4 hours

As I got in my car I heard my phone was vibrating the screen flashed Marco's name.

I growled and raked my hand through my tousled hairs and slid to answer it.

"Quid est in Latin (What) Marco?"

"Good Morning Sir.......... the Chairman of Parker Enterprises, Mr. John wants to make a meeting with you. He is starting a new project in which they want you to be a part of a project. So he will show you a presentation today."

"Fix a meeting in our Cenabis 'N' Prandium" I hung up the phone immediately.

"I'm coming for you on this lunar eclipse you will be all mine." Starting the ignition I drove towards my private jet.

After 12 hours In New York

Heading up to my restaurant I heard people muttering something. Seeing me, all the staff bowed their heads over fear. The crowd was running away after seeing as if a curfew was lifted by Government. I have got used to seeing the fear in their eyes. The corridor was now dead silent. I ignored them and walk towards my VIP Suite then I heard a similar faint pitter-patter that raised my heartbeat.

"Good evening Sir" My manager greeted me with fear in his eyes. I nodded in response.

"Sir Mr. Parker is waiting for you" He replied.

"Get the folders and other important paper, make sure one thing nobody disturbs this meeting," I said dryly fixing my cufflinks which has JN engraved on it.

With the dead eye, I was watching a presentation. Why the hell I can't concentrate. After twenty minutes.

In the entire presentation, my mind lingered to the most innocent heart, my angel.

"f**k! What's wrong with me? Why I cannot focus on presentation?" There was a stinging pain in my scar. I wrapped up this presentation asap (as soon as possible).

"Well I will think over your offer and confirmation for the same will be given by mail." Mr. John extends his hand for a handshake, but I look at his hand with clear disdain in my eyes ignoring him I stand up immediately adjusting my bow tie and left the area in a matter of seconds.

Nalini POV

In the morning when I was awakened by cold breeze erupting goosebumps on my skin. I found myself lying on the ground. I do not know how I got hurt on the back last night. Well, I'm always in a rush maybe some sharp thing has scratched my back and pain started to happen to me later. I am just too impatient and I think that impatience is the cause of most accidents. There were bloodstains on the ground and back of the neck I ran a hand on the wound the pain vanishes I feel numb there. Then I realize that I was knocked out for hours due to injury.

I can't picture my emotions it felt as if my soul had been connected to another soul to the core, this feeling was continuous screaming in my mind that my life will change upside down. There's a time in your life where you're not quite sure where you are what your next move is. I was stuck in the quagmire of anxiety. I huffed a blow and finally got my ass up and make my way towards the window.

The sky was gelled up in shades of peach and neon orange instead of black. It's a beautiful morning my inner voice speaks. The slow breeze kissed every inch of my skin gently. I believe every day is unique and different maybe this day holds something interesting for me.

I quickly entered the washroom to do my morning routine. Exiting the bathroom wrapping a towel around myself, I blow-dried my hairs and leaves the light damp straight black hairs which fell gracefully down to my hips. What to wear today? My inner voice speaks. Scrunching my nose I fumbled my wardrobe after searching for forever I decided to wear a light grey shift dress that ended 1 inch below my knees and my favorite pair of black round-toe ballerinas with cushioned footbed. Locking the room I headed downstairs to eat yummy breakfast.

Jan already prepared the table with potato grill sandwich and masala tea at the center of the breakfast bar. The table was having three plates brimmed with hot food. I inhale the mind-blowing aroma and my stomach growled in response.

"Someone is really hungry," Abhi said teasingly. He knows I was a big-time foodie. Food was my addiction.

"Here's is the breakfast..... dig in both of you," Jan said pouring my cup with tea. She sat next to him and sipped her tea. She dropped her spoon to gather our attention.

"Abhi you know what is today?" Jan asked.

"Yes," He replied while taking a bite of sand which.

"I know you knew it now, wish me please." She replied excitingly.

"Oh s**t! I totally forgot ......Happy Birthday, Love" She frowned and was taken aback by his statement.

"And you Nal," She asked with shone in her eyes. It melts my heart but I have to play dumb so that she believes us that we completely forgot about the anniversary.

"No, it is a usual day." She rolled her eyes in frustration. I barely missed my laugh.

From morning Abhi was reacting in such a way as if he did not know that today their anniversary was. He can easily fake any emotion even if he was lying. I was a disaster in hiding any emotion especially when I was lying to anybody. He was acting like he totally forgot that today was their anniversary. He had told Jan that there was a small get together party thrown by his friend in which he invited all of us. Abhi bought a very beautiful Indo Western dress for Jan and he also asked me to wear some fusion wear dress. He had done all the preparations of the party with the help of his office employees two days earlier.

Their love story sometimes reignites my faith in love. It was said that God makes matches in heaven. Maybe God has made someone special for me as well, who will love me, take care of me. Their beautiful wedding was a great example of commitment and true love means. The only difference in their nature was Abhi can easily hide his emotions but Jan was a goddess of emotion. Maybe their imperfections was the key to this happy married life. She worshiped him and he respects her, pure emotion of love binds them together for eternity. They have given real meaning to word marriage by irrigating it with love and trust. Jan's voice dragged me to this planet.

"You were again zoned out," Jan asked.

"Umm nothing, Abhi can you please drop me office" I replied a little uncomfortable.

In my office.

I had finished all my work and now I was making a collage for Jan and Abhi.

The gift exchange was a major part of any celebration, so I thought to give them a memorable gift A Collage of their pictures with lovely captions at each picture. A gift holds emotional lifts, a way to express feelings bound with love, for me they are best couples. I was searching for pictures on their social accounts when my phone ringtone breaks my attention.

"Unknown number" I slid to answer it.

"Hi, little tornado" A husky and masculine voice answered.

"Hi" I replied shyly biting inside of my cheek. It was Rick.

"How are you?"

"G..gud" I replied meekly.

"I have saved you twice, at least a cup of coffee with me won't harm you" He chuckled.

"O...ok" I stuttered getting nervous as he has seen me in my horrible state.

"So it's' done meet me tomorrow at 7 pm at Costa coffee café" He hung up the phone.

Ugh! Do I have any choice..........No? So as a thanksgiving I have to join him for coffee.

Placing the phone back I shifted my gaze on the laptop to complete the collage.

I re-checked my watch it was 6 pm Abhi must be here at any time.

I completed the collage and got it to frame in the brown oak wooden frame and I gift-wrapped it.

I exit the office heading home. Abhi was coming to pick me up.

I heard the horn of his car.

"On time I'm impressed, Mr. Abhi"

"That's my gift"

"No, it's for you and Jan both"

"If you take this gift home, Jan will doubt that we both know about the anniversary. Do one thing hide it in the trunk of the car" Abhi said pointing at the gift.

Yes, he was right, so I hide the gift in the trunk of the car.

Finally arriving at home I went straight to my room to get a shower.

After 45 minutes

I kept my makeup minimal and tied my hairs in a messy bun with loose four strands of hairs in front. I don't want to look bimbo's who are dying to gather the attention of men.

On our way to home, Abhi told me that he had invited his business partners including Mr. Iverson. To this date, I have zipped my mouth about how Van molested me almost on the urge of raping me.

Giving myself a rallying cry moment I checked myself one more time in the mirror. I tuck scissors in my clutch so if Vanassche misbehaved with me I'll stab him with it. Whoa! His name has ass in it. It suits his personality. My inner voice speaks.

I double-checked myself in the mirror. Hearing a doorknob jingle I shifted my gaze towards the door in minutes Jan walks into the room. She examined my face stepping further. I arched my brow expecting an answer folding my arms.

"Do I look like blue-black sack?"

"No" she pursed her lips hiding her smile.

"Then" I tap my foot on the ground waiting for an answer.

"Hey, you got a zit on your chin." She replied pointing at my face.

"s**t!" I released a deep breath.

"This is the biggest Zit I have ever seen." I thinned my lips at his comment.

"Hey just lick it with your tongue like this it will go in minutes," Abhi replied as he stood next to the door.

"Like this Nal concentrate" Abhi was trying to lick his chin with his tongue.

"Ewwwwwww that was awkward." Me and Jan replied in chorus. We all burst out in laughter.

"Come on NAL" She replied making her way towards the door.

Hold on, Let me grab my clutch.

He unlocked the car we all get in, started the ignition he drove us to the venue.

I read the name of the restaurant "Cenabis 'N' Prandium" quite fancy. I murmured.

"This place looks very posh, you said that it's just a small get-together party," Jan asked as Abhi parked his car in the parking lot. He simply ignored her question and gestured us to walk inside. While walking inside Jan squeezed my hand I know she was nervous. She was an antisocial girl like me who feel suffocated in the party or public place.

"Hey it's just a party Jan chill," I said holding her hand.

"I need to use the washroom" Jan excused herself.

"Oho! Girl, you are getting nervous.......... Ok go"

I and Abhi examined the area for a while.

"Everything is perfect" I replied He nodded his head. Jan walked towards us with a questioning face.

"So far no one came, we arrived here first."

Poor her, tonight was the special night for Jan but she doesn't even know about it. After the announcement of this party I realized that Abhi really loved Jan, he was a complete package of gentlemen a husband material. Jan was a lucky girl. This whole event made him sweeter and respectable person in my eyes. They both disappeared suddenly.

"Where they have gone?" While I was looking for both of them, I had come to the first floor. Now I have to go downstairs maybe they were right there.

I stumbled on my feet while descending stairs. I thought my eyes will now open in the hospital. Before my head collides with the ground, two strong hands were snaked around my waist.

"I can't picture you with anybody else." He said darkly biting my earlobe. My eyes widen hearing his dirty voice I bit my lip wanting it off.

"I have given you ample time now today I will make you mine by hook or by crook." He spat coldly. I was looking at him dumb folded.

Silence

He grabbed my neck harshly "When I speak I need your answer puppet. Wait for today I'm going to ravish you in front of everyone." He said coldly showing an evil glint in his eyes. I licked my dry lips my breath caught in my throat. This was it he was getting too harsh on me. He has understood my silence as my weakness.

"I'm not one of those bimbos who sell their body for money" I spat on him bitterly and walked away from there ignoring him.

He was going beyond his limits. I'm not sure what was cooking in his dirty hideous mind but I do know that I'm going to be positive I'll try my best to avoid him. And after some time I will leave the party by making an excuse for stomach ache. I had come to this party just for Jan and Abhi but today I will not succumb in front of him. He despised me every time I will fight back today.

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