The room fell into a dead silence. The people present there murmured to each other. But no one dared to raise their voice aloud because they knew they didn't stand a chance against this man.
" 50 crores one "
" 50 crores two "
" 50 crores three "
" The 100 years preserved royal crown now belongs to Mr. Xavier Night."
The host exclaimed with a big fat smile lingering on his lips.
A man wearing a Armani royal black suit with shining black leather shoes, a Rolex watch strapped on his wrist walked towards the stage with his long legs. Everyone could sense the superiority that surrounded him. He is none other than Xavier Night, the heir of the Night empire.
A perfect example of Greek God with an excellent height of 6.4 feet. His broad shoulders could hide a row of people behind him. His sun kissed skin is drool worthy. His sharp jaw that could just slice anyone's skin perfectly. His face is a mixture of American and Korean with a sharp nose, baby blue eyes, perfect eyebrows and pale pink lips.
"Pack it!!!"
Xavier said to his PA Lan who went near the host and told him to pack it soon. Not glancing at anyone, Xavier was led back to his Lamborghini by his guards and PA.
"Did the party start?"
Xavier asked as he got busy on his laptop, furiously typing something.
"It started an hour back."
A smirk formed on Xavier's lips as he looked at his PA with mysterious eyes.
"Time for the entry."
…….
The large hall sparkled with glittery decorations. The guests there were mesmerized by the arrangements and service. Some were envious, some were awestruck. Why won't they be?
Because it was the 22nd birthday of one of the Richest man in country A, Mr. William's daughter Elizabeth.
"It's time for the cake cutting."
Mr. Willam said as he held his daughter's hand who was just looking at the entrance with bated breath.
"Dad, he didn't arrive yet."
Elizabeth said as her eyes got teary with unshed tears. Mr. William fisted his hands. But he relaxed when he saw the row of guards entering inside the hall. All had their perfectly ironed uniform with Bluetooth in their ears and a gun in their hands.
"Princess, he is here."
Mr. William said with a broad smile. Elizabeth looked up and grinned through her tears. She took a hold of her fluffy gown and ran near Xavier.
"You came. I knew it. I know that you love me."
Saying so, Elizabeth tried to hug Xavier but she was pushed back harshly.
Xavier threw the wrapped gift near her leg and then ignoring her went near Mr. William.
"Next time play decently. Even I know how to be dirty."
Xavier snorted at Mr. William who looked flabbergasted by Xavier's words. He started sweating heavily due to the intensity of his unknown threat.
"Don't grow a misconception that I'll fall for a girl like you who slept with almost every one of my clients. And don't even dare to play your dirty tricks on me. This time I just warned you but next time there won't be any warning.
And you wanted me to bring a gift for you or else you will leak all my company information to the rivals. Well darling, news flash. My company's information is safe with me. You need to watch out for your daddy's one.
That gift is just a small reminder that XAVIER NIGHT only gives never takes."
Xavier whispered bitterly in Elizabeth's ears who shivered and turned pale hearing Xavier's voice.
Xavier stood up and smiled maliciously at Elizabeth.
"Happy birthday Miss Elizabeth. Hopefully it will be a less tormenting year for you."
Xavier walked out of the huge hall while the people engaged themselves in gossip about the stunt that he just pulled now.
"Elder master wants to see you."
Lan informed Xavier who groaned like a kid. His entire personality changed in a split second. Lan chuckled seeing his best friend's condition.
"I swear that old man was my enemy in my previous life."
Xavier muttered under his breath. He was thoroughly frustrated.
"Xavier, don't call him old man."
Lan reprimanded his best friend while closing the laptops and other devices.
"Then what should I call him? Demon?? Actually, the demon is better than him. At least he kills in one go but this old man is killing me little by little."
Xavier again groaned.
"Xavier, do you know what will happen if people see you like this?"
Lan mocked his friend who just stuck his tongue out at him.
"You are the real demon in the business world. And did you just give a return gift worth 50 crores?"
Lan scoffed at his friend who straightened his posture.
"The 50 crores is the price of the shares I bought from them. They might have got the news by now."
Xavier smirked to lan whose eyes widened at his big planning.
"Fuck you, man!!!"
Lan exclaimed and got a neutral expression from his friend.
"You have Bella to fuck. Go and fuck her "
Xavier said with a straight face but Lan went red at his remarks. Bella is his fiancee and longtime girlfriend.
"You bloody bast***"
Lan punched on Xavier's bicep.
"Get back to the topic. Why grandpa wants to meet me?"
Xavier asked as he went through his I*******m feeds.
"He wants us to attend some wedding with him next Sunday."
Lan shrugged off his shoulders.
"Wedding? Whose?"
Xavier asked confusingly.
" I don't know but he said he will tell everything when you will meet him."
"Then what's the delay? Let's meet him tomorrow."
Xavier said.
"Where do you wanna go now?"
Lan asked.
"To my mother's arms."
Lan chuckled at his childish demand. Typical mumma's boy.

~~ No one can stop the planning of FATE ~~° Xavier POV°I groaned as the sunlight hit my face. I snuggled my face more into my soft pillow."Dear, wake up. It's morning already. We need to meet your grandpa."I heard the sweetest voice of my mom. I woke up from her lap and kissed her cheeks lazily."You are such a big baby."Mom complained while pulling my cheeks."You made me like this. What can I do? I know you will come in the morning and I'll again shift to your lap from my pillow. Not my fault."I shrugged off my shoulders keeping my head on her lap and she didn't waste a second before caressing my hair. My mom shook her head in disbelief. But again what can I do?It has been a habit for me now. Every morning, mom would come to wake me up. An
~~ What's meant to be happen, will happen at any cost ~~Xavier after a tired day went back to home while cursing himself on the way. He was supposed to reach home by two hours but he didn't know when instead of 3 o'clock, the watch struck 9 o'clock.Reaching home, he was met with silence until their Butler came and informed him that his mother and sister had already left for Elder Mr. Night's house on decided time. And Xavier is to reach Mr. Night's home by today or else the consequences won't be good."This old man is only good at threatening people. Gosh!! Can't he just leave me alone???"Xavier muttered under his breath and gave a curt nod to the butler. He went inside his room and took a relaxing shower. He then changed into a pair of white jeans paired up with white tee and a leather jacket. Considering the weather of the country, it was the most suitable dress he could
~~ Everyone has a chapter that they don't read out loud ~~Phewww!!!Valentina sighed as she gazed at her image in the mirror. Dressed up in a shimmering white bridal gown with a veil covering her face and trailing behind like a fish tail.She wasn't feeling weird like the other times. This time her heart was racing fast as if warning her of something good. It was two days after her mom announced her marriage. And now she was here getting ready to marry her mysterious groom. She didn't know why her mother was hell bent on getting her married. Since she turned 18, her mother has been bringing proposals for her which she successfully denied because somehow the prospective guy had some faults. Two months back before her 20th birthday, her mom announced her engagement with one of her colleague's sons. Valentina couldn't find any fault in that guy. So she did the thing which no one could imagine. She got the
~~ It takes a moment to fall in love all over again ~~Xavier came out of the room with an expressionless face. His posture was stoic and anyone could feel the cold demeanor that radiated from his personality.Xavier started walking outside towards the altar where the priest was waiting and had called for him. Xavier didn't flinch when cameras flashed at his face. He didn't even bother to answer the questions that were being thrown on him. Ignoring everyone, he walked down the aisle while the people looked at him with jealous eyes. Jealous of his position, power and wealth. Xavier had achieved something which no one could even dream to achieve at such a young age.Xavier scowled mentally seeing the smirk on Mr. Night's face. He went ahead and stood on the altar waiting for his FORCED BRIDE to arrive so that he could get away with these.*****"Mom, I
~~ The unplanned things are better than the planned things ~~ "Go and take some rest. We will leave after a few hours." Grandpa Night announced looking at everyone. The wedding was a good affair. The reception will be held in Country A after a week. They had to leave for Country A in a few hours due to some urgent work that Grandpa Night wasn't telling them about. Xavier rolled his eyes at Grandpa Night and stood up from his seat. He was angry at himself for acting like this. How could he be just mesmerized by her beauty? He met many more beautiful women who tried to lure him or seduce him. Then why is he attracted to her? 'Because you didn't see such innocent and natural beauty before.' His sub-consciousness mocked him. "Xavier, take Valentina with you." Mrs. Night said lovingly as
~~ It is our darkest moment when we get to know who really cares for us ~~Xavier didn't talk to Valentina after his last encounter in the room. He gave her time to talk to her mother. She was going to join them for the reception but will again come back as she has her own business to handle."You both go first. We will come later."Xavier nodded at his mother. He knew his mother wanted to console Mrs. Constance. Xavier's heart ached as he saw his little wife's face red with tears sliding from the corner of her eyes. He wanted to go towards her, take her into his arms and wipe those tears away from her face.Xavier without any second thoughts went near her. He held her hand and gave it a firm squeeze.Valentina didn't want to leave her only family. She never thought of staying away from her mom. But here she is now, leaving her mother and going to another
~~ Let things happen in a flow. Your one wrong step would destroy everything ~~Valentina opened her eyes groggily when she felt something unusual around her. When she opened her eyes, she was met with darkness and a shadow which was sitting beside her.At first she was scared but when the manly cologne hit her nostrils, she sobered up. She was married and was probably on the plane with Xavier.What scared her was not the darkness, rather the incoherent murmuring that came out of Xavier's mouth. It sounded painful as he stuttered on his words."Mr. Night!!!"Valentina didn't call him with his name because he isn't her friend nor someone she is close to. Was it the actual reason or she was shy to call him by his name?``But still you kissed him twice!!'Valentina's conscience mocked her. Ignoring i
~~ A little ignorance from someone special pricks like a needle and hurts like hell ~~ Xavier opened his eyes slowly, adjusting it to his surroundings. He gripped the thing more tightly when he saw the darkness again. "Aaah!!" Xavier sobered up when he heard a wincing sound. He looked up from the soft pillow and was shocked to find a sleeping Valentina underneath him. His eyes widened when he realized he was sleeping on her chest. Red hue covered his ears and neck. He couldn't even remove himself from her as she had a deadly grip on his torso. "Little one!!!" Xavier whispered in his raspy voice. "Ummm, mom, two more minutes!!" Xavier chuckled, forgetting his surroundings. If it was any other time then Xavier would have created an uproar by now. But at this time he didn't care about the dar
