Chapter 8

• I wondered what was going on when I discussed the job I felt like I saw a change of emotions on his face. I could not read his thoughts, but there was something.
• I spent my whole day wondering what happened in the morning when I looked at the watch it was already 6 pm.
• I immediately went to the bathroom to get ready. I didn’t apply much makeup and wore a simple bodycon dress.
• At exactly 6.30 he was waiting for me in the living room, when I entered the living room, he looked at me, smiled gently, and said, “Ready?”
• I nodded, and we walked towards his limited-edition Bugatti car.
• After a drive of almost forty-five minutes, we reached a luxurious restaurant.
• Although my Dad was a successful businessman and filthy rich, he never took us to such a place.
• And my pocket money was not that much, which can afford this kind of luxurious restaurant.
• I liked this place. Once we reached the door, the manager himself came to attend us.
• I can understand that Mr. Walter is a prominent person in this city.
• We were directed to the second floor, but it was empty. When I was thinking, why is this floor empty? I think Mr. Walter read my mind and said, leaning towards me, “I have booked the whole floor.”
• I was stunned, thinking, why did he book the whole floor; it must have cost him a bomb to book the entire floor of such a luxurious restaurant, and why are we here?
• We settled on a table; after that, we ordered our food. I asked, “Mr. Walter, why are we here?”
• He looked at me; he was about to open his mouth to reply to my question. A waiter came with wine and served us.
• Once the waiter left, I looked at him, giving him an expression to continue, and what he said next, I almost spilled the wine out of my mouth.
• He said straight away, “Marry me, my angel.”
• I was dumbstruck, after hearing what he said, I mean no one can deny a person like him; he is perfect marriage material, an idol husband.
• Kind of person, for whom many girls would line up at his one call, he is filthy rich, has a body like Greek god, and murderously handsome, but I still have my questions without which I will not take my decision. 
• Jane’s POV
• I somehow controlled my emotions and asked, “Why? I mean how can you” before he cut me off saying 
• “Because I love you,” he looked straight in my eyes and said.
• I was dumbfounded again, how could he say that we never met before it’s hardly three months we know each other.
• I asked, “We don’t even know each other, how….how can you love someone,” and again I was cut off by him.
• “I saw you at your sister’s engagement ceremony, and I fell in love without, at first sight, I wanted to talk to you and your father, but before you jumped from the balcony,” he said, sipping his red wine slowly.
• How can I forget that day, when my Dad sold me, I asked him, “Did my family know that I am alive?”
• He said casually, “I don’t know, because they never came to look for you.”
• My heart hurt again. I know there was no one for me after my Mum. As if he can see my pain from my eyes, he leaned forward, took my both hands on the take and said gently, “Jane we will marry after six months, I am giving you this time because I know you have a lot of questions.”
• “I want you also to feel the same as I feel for you” after saying this his hold on my hands tightened and he said, “But let me tell you, after six months even if you don’t love me you will have to marry me because I cannot see you with anyone else.”
• I know he was overbearing but didn’t know why I liked it, it gave me a feeling that I have someone apart from my Mum, to look after me, I felt I have someone I can rely on.
• After he said that, I didn’t have anything to say I was lost in his charm. Our food was served, and we both ate silently.
• After finishing our dinner, he took me for a walk on the street before heading home. He was holding my hands; I tried to pull back my hand, but his hold would get tighter when I pulled my hands, so I stopped it and let me hand in his hand.
• Warm from his palm gave me a sense of security; I felt how good it could be if we both are together forever.
• At this moment I didn’t know that this person would become the worst nightmare of my life.
• I was happy like a fool, after walking for some time, we headed back home. 
• After reaching home, I was about to turn and leave to my room, when he pulled me all of a sudden and I fell in his arms, he smiled gently, kissed on my forehead and said, “good night Angel.”
• I smiled shyly; my face turned red. I have never been close to any boy, and the position we are standing, I can hear his heartbeats.
• I like the cologne he was wearing, everything about him is perfect.
• I still can’t believe that such an outstanding man would fall in love with me. I was in the seventh sky.
• I turned slowly and left for my room.
• After changing my clothes, I went to bed, but I didn’t feel sleepy; only his face was flashing in front of my eyes whenever I closed my eyes.
• Author’s POV
• After Jane left from the living room, Marco went to his room and called James, Lucas, and Ethan for a drink. He was happy today, and he wanted to celebrate his first victory.
• After some time he left the house, and went to the pub, he met with his friends.
• When he arrived at the place, Ethan had already reached. They both did a brotherly hug and sat.
• Observing Marco’s expression, Ethan asked, “what have you achieved today, Marco?”
• Ethan knows Marco very well.
• Marco smiled cunningly and said, “You are my true friend; you can understand me very well.”
• Ethan continued, “Yes Marco, and I can also see that whatever you have achieved is not good for your future, you want to work with my Dad, you should know he doesn’t like a person with hidden intention.”
