DEVIL'S LOVE

CHAPTER 2

I got inside my house and gave my jacket to the maid who greeted me with a smile. I walked along with the living room. My mom called me waving her hands. I went towards her and my dad was sitting next to her watching me.

"We just laid your clothes for today's diner on your bed. So suit yourself and we are leaving our place by 6:45 pm. Get ready soon before it." My mom said and I just nodded walking towards the upstairs to my room. I really hate getting married at this age, I mumbled.

I undressed and got in the hot shower. The thought of the girl whom I met this evening flashed in my mind and got confused at my thoughts about her. I should get rid of her thoughts from my mind as I am going to get married to some other girl whom I never met once in my life.

I got out of the shower and dried myself. I dressed and looked at the mirror to tie my tie. I finally got dressed well and styled my hair to look better than usual. It's been 6:30 pm when I got ready and sat on my bed for a while. I left my room as my mom calling for me from downstairs. I quickly went down walking towards the living room.

"Wow, Son. You look handsome in that suit with a perfect tie." She exclaimed and walked toward me to give me a hug. After a while, she let me go.

"Okay, Honey. Let's go, it's been 6:45 pm already." My dad said and we walked out of our home and got in an SUV car. We left the place and reached the destination within 15 minutes.

Lisa's POV,

After escaping from the jerk and I ran towards the school gate to get to my home. To my surprise, my parents came to school to pick me up. I know why they had come to school to pick me up. I am getting married to someone who is rich as we were.

My parents are selfish that they wanted me to get married to collab their companies. So, they would be more powerful than other companies. It was a disgusting idea, I have ever heard. They didn't treat me well as their own daughter. But now, they wanted me to get married to someone that I didn't even know for once.

This is unfair, I am really not happy to get married too soon as I am just 17. I didn't even complete my high school. How lucky I am? I mumbled. We reached our home after 15 minutes. I got out of the SUV and walked inside.

"We kept your dress already over your bed, so wear them and get some makeover. Get ready before 6:40 pm. Is that clear?" My mom said and left me alone walking towards the living room. I just nodded and walked towards my room.

I got showered and dried my hair. I dressed in a red frock that was lying on my bed and applied some makeup over my face and curled my hair. I used some glitter on the top of my eyelids for extra shine and looked myself in front of the mirror. I then sat on my bed and looked at the clock on my nightstand. It's 6:35 pm.

My mom called for me and walked downstairs. I went to the living room and my parents looked at me astonished.

"You look gorgeous in red. I think he would accept you looking at your beauty, my dear." My mom came towards me with open hands to give me a hug. Even though they didn't look after me well, they do choose to give me the best life. I really love my parents when they cared for me.

She let me go and my father smiled at me widely. Then, he asked us to get in the car as we would be late for diner. We got in and left in the SUV and after 20 minutes of the drive, we got to the restaurant. We got out and walked inside.

Someone waved at us and we approached them. I looked at my hands nervously walking towards the table.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs.Mendes. We are glad to meet you." The women who waved at us greeted us with a wide smile and I smiled back nervously.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs.Charles. Glad to meet you too." My mom said and they sat opposite to Mr and Mrs.Charles. And I looked for a seat to sit which was opposite to a man in a black suit who is facing down.

My mom waved at me to sit beside her and I obeyed her quicky. I took a seat opposite him and I looked at him for a while and looked away. I am nervous as hell that I was in front of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They looked kind of sweet as they smiled gently to caress my nervousness away.

She called the boy beside her to look at me, but he didn't look at me still starring down. I was confused as if he was not looking at me even a bit of glance. I got nervous again that if he doesn't like me then my life is gonna be hell always.

I really don't know what to do, so I looked down at my sweating palms. My mom pressed her hands gently over mine caressing to calm down. It felt so good to be caressed by your mom when you are nervous, don't you think that so? I mumbled.

Both the parents were chatting about the wedding plans but I didn't dare to look at them. After a while, the boy who sat opposite me stood to leave the place. Mr and Mrs.Charles didn't seem surprised at his act and even my parents.

I looked at him whose back facing me and he disappeared within a second. I looked at the side where he left and he didn't come back for a while. And both the parents' sight looked towards me and asked me about my opinion of getting married. I didn't say anything as I didn't know what to say.

"She is a little nervous that she could not speak out. I think she needs some space to recover herself from this big decision." My mom spoke for me and I am relieved that she helped me calm down.

"It's okay, Lisa. Take your own space and be free to talk with us. We are very glad to meet such a beautiful girl like you." Mrs.Charles said with a wide smile and I nodded smiling back to her.

"Yeah, honey. She looks pretty in red and it suits you, my dear." Mr.Charles said with a pleasing tone and made me blush.

"Thank you, Mr and Mrs.Charles. I am really glad to meet you in person." I said with confidence as they looked caring in my eyes. They both nodded in unison with a wide smile which made me giggle.

After a while of chatting about a random thing, I felt like someone's gaze over me. So I followed the direction to find who was that? I was shocked to find a male looking at me intensely and I gulped.
