HIS OBSESSION

CHAPTER 3.

Ariana had gotten the text from Barlow. The Khan Family young master was coming to the mall today.

She wore a pale pink gown and her hair was rolled in a neat bun. She didn't put much makeup on because she never liked it anyway. She just had her lipgloss and Mascara on.

She wondered around the Mall hoping to see the young masters convoy somehow.

No one exactly knew how the young master of the Khan family looked. Barlow had given her a blury description of what he looked like, he didn't have pictures. He had told her. " He has sharp side features and he has very handsome, stoic cold expression"

How was she supposed to make good use of this description. How many men in this city identified with this features. Nice question. Almost all!.

She looked over at the right hand side of the mall, people seemed to be sitting in wait of something. They were bodyguards gathered at one corner of the waiting area.

'Seems he is here after all.'Ariana muttered to herself.

She reasoned that if the bodyguards were stationed here then they're boss would be in the mall. All she had to do was wait till he came out. Then she could confront him. She hadn't yet figured how she would do it but she took pride in her 'spirit of the moment guide' , She never always knew what to do but she just went with the flow when the time came.

She walked towards the men in black and sat close to the table nearest to them, She wasn't going to miss that Young Master, not with her company involved.

She didn't really take notice of the people around her or her surroundings, she didn't also notice the stunning, sexy looking man sitting on the same table with her. She kept staring in the direction of the mall.

Lucas was having a bad day, It was already enough that his grandpa liked to behave like the Budha priests or A charitable machine but why drag him into it too. Things were going well in the mall he didn't understand why the old man had decided to see and review the previews made by the consumers personally.

He was fuming when a presentable looking lady slid into his table. Interesting. He was used to their tactics, young mistresses from different influential families trying to stage a natural coincident meeting. He had grown accustomed to it. He even enjoyed it a little, watching well played drama live was interesting.

His bodyguards slowly approached to throw her away but he stopped them signalling them with his hand. He wanted to watch this show. He leaned into his chair a smirk forming on his lips.

"Let's see which trick you want to play this time" he spoke coldly.

Ariana turned and faced the stranger, she was taken aback by his facial features, he was handsome, she paused for a moment to take it all in.

The stranger stared back his smirk more visible now. "Are you done?" He asked

Ariana came back to her senses. Then she mimicked a "me", pointing to herself.

Lucas' expression went cold. What was her deal. Doesn't she knows who she came to seduce. Or was this a different trick. What she said next shocked him.

"If you're upset that I sat here I could just leave, you don't have to grumble internally". She said with a stubborn expression on her face. She proceeded to stand up. She took two steps from the table before a light bulb went off in her head. She turned back to look at the handsome stranger. She assessed him. He didn't look bodyguard material like the men around him. Maybe he came here to shop for his girlfriend. He should have a girlfriend, or many girls riding on his coattails so he could possibly give her some suggestions. She slid back into the table.

Lucas scoffed. So this was the plan after all.

" I need you help".

Lucas stared at this girl in confusion. It seemed she truly didn't know him. Or she did and she was trying to sneak a contract. He signaled his bodyguards discreetly to take action. This was a public setting any mishap could lead to negative public opinion. His bodyguards stepped forward but the stranger oblivious to her surroundings dropped a bombshell.

" How do you attract a guy that's not in your league" She asked, then continued " For example, you need to get married to this man, but you don't know him , but you have to get married to him before he meets your sister.".

Lucas felt sick in the stomach. What sort of despicable behavior was this. She wants to get married to a man that was already her sister's romantic intrest

He wanted to have her thrown away at once.

Ariana clasped her mouth. She shouldn't have said that. This was her family's business. She changed the topic.

"It seems the Khan Family Young Master is here after all" She muttered.

"What was that". The stranger asked.

Ariana gave him a one-sided look." You don't need to worry about it. It's nothing of your concern". She didn't want to bring up more of her Family issues to a stranger.

" Why? are you grateful that the Khan Family young master is here. I can help you. I know him " Lucas spoke as he relaxed into his chair. So her mission here was also related to him, he smirked.

Ariana stared at this man long and hard. It was starting to make sense as to why the bodyguards stood closely at his side and his stunning features too.

She leaned lazily in her chair, she wasn't going to appear desperate" How can I trust that you know him?".

"Well you can either believe me or don't it doesn't really matter".

Ariana scrutinized him then told him about her revenge plan to marry the Khan Family young master.

Lucas stared at her in disbelief.

" So it's not for connections it's for revenge.".

"Yes why?"

Lucas didn't respond.

" So how will you help me"

" It won't work". He said, Then stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Ariana asked but she never got an answer as she started at the man's broad back go father away.

She sighed in frustration. "Who does he think he is" she mumbled.

Lucas got into one of the line of cars waiting to transport him and his grandpa back to the Khan family Mansion.

His grandfather finally spoke.

"I'm glad the business is doing well. There were a lot of satisfied customers I herd from the store manager. Now it's time for you to get me great-grandchildren. I don't have much time left." He said with a smirk. "We will be going to see the Stewart family next week get ready".

at the mention of the Stewart family, Lucas felt a little uncomfortable, he felt an undescribable feeling. He tugged at his thigh.

This was the eye of that stranger stick in his head. As much as he hated to admit. She had the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen. He felt he had to see them again.
