Chapter 1~ Accident

RAVEN 

"Yeah, babe. Go for it!!" 

I picked up my 10th glass of tequila shot and drank away my pain and heartbreak. As a fourth year medical student, I should advise people to stay away from liquor to keep their heart healthy. But today my heart's too broken to care for someone else's heart. 

My best friend Giselle grinned at me and patted my back as I shook my head to get rid of the after effects of the shot. 

"That's like my girl. Forget about that douchebag. He doesn't deserve you."

I nodded at Giselle with my teary eyes. I know he is an asshole, the biggest douchebag but a small part of my heart hurts. I have been dating Ryan for four years and next month we were going to celebrate our 4th year anniversary if he wasn't desperate enough to put his dick in some deep, wide canal. That wasn't the first time he fucked someone else in our bedroom, on our bed. He acted remorseful but I knew better. The man who can cheat on you for more than one time, he can keep you in the dark and cheat on you for a thousand more times. 

I drank another tequila shot and looked for my rebound. I want rebound sex and I want it now. Fuck Ryan and his whores. All I want is a sexy man to show me heavens even if it's for a night and from tomorrow I'll be back to chase my dreams. No more boyfriend bullshit. 

I looked around the over crowded club. This club is one of the most expensive clubs in the city. Giselle could get inside because her dad partly owns a fraction of this club. My eyes ran over every type of man aging from 18 to 30. They all are hot but not enough to lure me for a one night stand. 

My droopy eyes moved from one man to another. Every man seems to have a girl sticking her bum to their rod. I pouted when I saw there was no man of my choice. 

"Wait here, Raven. I'll be back from the washroom."

I nodded at her still pouting and she went away to the washroom. I plopped my elbows on the bar and looked around again. 

Is there any shortage of men today? God! I just want a one night stand. 

And God heard my wish. My haze gaze caught the eye of a very delicious man. He wore a white short whose sleeves are rolled up till his elbows. The first few buttons of his shirt are open and his pants stretched as he sat wide legged in the VIP section. It wasn't exactly a VIP section. There are two to three men wearing black suits and earpieces standing around the three sofas and covering it. The delicious man I was talking about is talking to two other men. 

I pouted sadly as it's impossible to invade those beastly men standing there. But it seems like God is on my side today. The delicious man excused himself and started walking towards the washroom.

It's showtime. 

I got down from my high chair and bounced back my hair. I pulled up my glittery stockings. And started walking towards the washroom. I caught the sight of the man talking to another girl. My eyes turned red at the sight. He is my prey today, not her. As soon as the girl put her hands on his, I stepped in between them. 

"Sorry darling. He is mine for tonight. I promise you can have him tomorrow."

The girl in front of me seemed taken aback by my words. And I felt a delicious press behind me. Hard muscle and a strong presence. 

"Whatever!" 

The girl dismissed and went away swaying her big ass at me. As soon as she left, I turned around and clutched the collar of my prey. He jerked forward and our lips were a few inches away. 

"Damn! You look hot and more delicious from close distance."

I licked up my lips while staring at his lips. But he didn't say anything, rather his eyes were focused on my eyes. I know my eyes aren't a great turn on for any guy because they are a pair of dull green. 

"I hope you won't mind being my rebound."

And finally I saw some changes on his face. His sharp jaw twitched and his blue eyes turned dark. His hand swiftly went around my waist and he slammed me on the nearby wall. His one leg went in between my thighs and my hands were pinned above my head. 

"What did you say?" 

I swear, if he talks one more time, I'll fucking come. His voice is so raspy and deep. His deep, velvety voice wrapped me in it. 

"Re…rebound."

Fuck! I was stuttering. Raven, who is known to be a blunt badass, is stuttering. 

He leaned closer. His expensive cologne invaded my nostrils. I closed my eyes as he pressed his thigh near my wetness. 

His rough fingers smudged my lipstick and an involuntary moan escaped my lips. 

"Fuck!"

The strange, hot, delicious man muttered before his lips descended upon mine. And with that I was blown away. 

His lips are rough, moving along my lips, nipping and sucking. His kisses aren't soft and loving or teasing. They are rough just like his hands and beastly just like he looks. His hand left mine and I instantly wrapped my hands around his neck pulling him closer. His calloused hand traveled the length of my body and settled down on my bare thigh. He dug his nails there and I yelped. Taking the chance, he thrusted his tongue inside my mouth exploring it. His lips left mine for a quick second to breathe. My shallow breaths brushed his jaw and he cursed again before burying his head in the crook of my neck and inhaling my scent. 

"I want to take you right now."

His voice gave me chills and I felt a wetness pulling in between my thighs. He peppered kisses along the length of my neck before kissing the corner of my lips. As he was going to pounce on my lips once again, Giselle came out from somewhere and pulled me out from his grasp. 

Spoiler! 

"I'm so sorry, sir. My friend is drunk. She isn't in her right conscience."

My droopy eyes only saw a blur image of Giselle apologizing to the delicious man. And his eyes were on me all the time. Giselle started pulling me with her. Before I left the delicious man's vision, I yelled out, 

"Thank you for the earth shattering kiss."

I blew a kiss in his way and left with Giselle as she was dragging me outside the club. We got inside her car and the driver immediately started the car.

"What the fuck, Raven? Do you even know that man?" 

Giselle yelled at me but I had a ghost smile lingering on my lips. 

"I don't know him but I know how his lips taste. His lips are so soft and mushy like marshmallows."

I giggled to myself while Giselle let out a string of curses. 

"Thank God! He was also drunk or he was going to shoot you then and there." 

I frowned. He isn't bad I guess. 

"You should……."

Everything happened in a jiffy. The glass broke on Giselle's side and pierced right into her shoulder. The car turned upside down while I held Giselle tightly. The car did a few splits and before I lost my conscience, I saw white shoes with a golden liner on it.

My eyes fluttered up. Pain shoots right from my toe to the neurons of my head. I clutched my head tightly and felt a bundle of gauge wrapped around my head. Where the hell am I? 

I tried getting up but it was all futile. My whole body is hurting like hell. I gave my best and opened my eyes taking into the dull white color of the walls. 

I'm in the hospital!!

I couldn't remember how and when I ended up in the hospital. But as soon as my eyes fell on the bed a few steps away from me where Giselle was lying unconscious. All my memories came back.

The strange man whom I kissed. 

Giselle pulled me out from there.  

We were bickering and suddenly something hit our car and we became unconscious. Another hit of pain shoot through my head and I groaned out loud waking up my elder brother who was slightly dozing off and who didn't come to my vision until now. 

"Geez, Raven. Are you alright?"

He made me drink a glass of water before helping me to sit upright. 

"Let me call the doctor first."

He pressed a button near my bed before settling down beside me, 

"Raven, you are in such a fix. Dad is super mad at you. He didn't even listen to me before fixing the deal."

"Noah, for God's sake. I had an accident. My head isn't in the right state to listen to your gibberish."

He rolled his eyes and was about to say something when the doctor arrived. He examined my injury before saying, 

"It's going to take time."

"I know. How's she doing?" 

I turned my gaze towards Giselle and guilt filled my mouth. 

"She is out of danger but the glass pieces pierced her shoulder. She will be fine in a month."

"Thank you, doctor."

"You're most welcome, doctor."

He gave me a boyish grin before leaving the room. As soon as he exited the room, my biggest nightmare entered the room. 

"Papa."

He didn't say anything and just glared in my way. 

"Noah, tell you sister. Her reckless days have come to an end. She is getting married by the end of this month."

"WHAT THE HELL???" 

I yelled out not caring for my surroundings. 

"Don't raise your voice at me."

Papa acknowledged me and shut me out with another heating glare. 

"You are not up for an argument. You are getting married and that too by the end of this month. Your time is up."

My heart broke for the secondth time at my papa's words. He had given me two months to talk to Ryan about our marriage. In papa's world women need to have a male support by the age they turn 25. 

"You have ruined my reputation. And now you will do as I say. You are marrying Alex Aragorn."

"You mean the son of Aragorn."

Dad's silence gave me my answer. 

No, no, no!! I can't marry anyone from that family. 

"I told you I'm not going to marry anyone like you. I told you I won't marry a mob boss."

His glare intensified. 

"You are lucky we are in the hospital, Raven. I told you before as well I don't tolerate disrespect."

No! I can't marry a man like my dad. A mob boss. They ruin your lives, cage you in their house and treat you like a showpiece. They fuck others while in the name of culture and rites. They are insane and fucking murderers. 

"You promised me, papa. You said a mob boss never breaks his promise."

His eyes softened before hardening once again, 

"I never break my promise, Raven. You are getting married to Alex Aragorn and he is a doctor, far away from the world of mob bosses and mafias."

Saying so he went out of the room. And just like everytime I misunderstood my papa. 

"Raven, dad wants you to be safe."

"What do you mean?" 

Noah sighed before saying, 

"He signed a deal with Aragorn. Dad gave one fourth of his territory to Aragorn in exchange for this marriage to ensure your safety."

For my safety? I couldn't understand anything he was saying. 

"What are you saying, Noah?" 

"He found you."

"Who?" 

"Ajax."
