“I hate you, Rican,” Nina breathed out, tearing up more under him while he just peered down at her. They both knew she was lying because she loved him more than her own self and she was saying this just because he had scattered her emotions terribly. He had messed up her feelings which made him feel guilty. Leaving her pinned wrists, he tried to wipe those tears in her eyes but Nina pushed his hand away and looked away from him. She closed her eyes and silently shedded her tears which made him sigh heavily. “I am sorry, Nina,” he whispered in her ear, bringing more tears in her eyes. “I am extremely sorry for hurting you, mi reina,” he uttered but she shook her head and looked at him through glossy eyes. “You do this every time. First hurt me and then say sorry,” she said to him. “It’s like my emotions and feelings never matter to you and that’s why it is so easy for you to hurt them over and over again,” she didn’t stop herself from accusing him of hurting her feelings because th

“So he is not coming to pick you up today?” Nnna heard Rachael asking her for the third time which confused her but she didn’t pay much attention to it. “No, he has some important work at his office,” Nina told her. They both were heading towards the main gate of their college after getting done with their classes. “More important than you?” Nina heard Rachael uttering in a disbelieving tone which made her look at Rachael. “I mean, what could be more important than you for him that he could not come to pick you up? Besides, he is the owner himself, so if he wanted, he could have delayed or postponed his work for you,” Nina frowned, hearing Rachael’s words. It didn’t make any sense to her. “He is the owner himself, that’s why his responsibilities and work are more. He could not show leniency towards his work,” Nina immediately defended him because that was the truth. He was the owner, that didn’t mean he did nothing in his office. In fact, being the owner, his presence was extremely

Nina’s eyes widened, seeing that scenario in front of her. He had decorated the entire garden area with roses, candles, different kinds of series light but the thing which grabbed her attention most was that tent which was placed in the middle and was looking like some kind of small and beautiful castle. He had made this place look surreal and dreamy but where he himself was? Nina was just about to call his name when she saw him coming out of that tent and her eyes widened, seeing what he was wearing. “Rican…..” Nina cupped her mouth. She could not believe her eyes as what they were seeing him wearing. He was wearing some kind of uniform which was completely black in colour and even had a bow and a hat. He had dressed up like some kind of royal fantasy character and he was looking just like it. Straight coming out from a fairytale. Nina just blinked at him, still trying to process what she had been seeing in front of her. Her reaction brought a smile to his face. Rican came towards

“Be mine and let me be yours so that no one could part us ever, mi reina,” Nina was taken aback by his proposal. She couldn’t just believe what her ears had been hearing. Did he just propose to her for their wedding? It startled her because Nina had not even slightly expected this from him, especially yet when he was still learning to love her. “Be my life partner, Nina. I will…..” “Do you want to do this just because of what others are going to think of our relationship?” she halted him in the middle. Pain shimmered in her eyes because she thought he was suggesting their marriage all of a sudden in order to give a name to their relationship in front of the world which she didn’t want. She didn’t want him to do anything for her by getting under the pressure of society. She needed him to do everything for her from his heart. “You don’t have to do this to make me happy in front of the world. I can….”he shushed her by placing his index finger over her lips. “I don’t care about what

“Nina, Rican……meet my new business partner, Hector Erold and his son, Dimitri Erold,” Seeing Dimitri in front of her, Nina turned startled but her shock became terror when her eyes trailed towards Rican and she found him glowering at Rican. Nina swallowed in fear. “Nina,” Dimitri’s voice made Nina tilt her head to look at him and found Dimitri giving her some confused glances and she knew exactly why. He must have not expected to see her here, especially so close to Alfanso family. Rican clenched his fists when he heard Dimitri taking her name and then coming closer towards her. “You here?” Dimitri asked, standing in front of Nina. She gulped before slowly nodding at him. Their interaction bewildered Riccardo a bit. “You both know each other?” Riccardo asked, making both Nina and Dimitri look at him. “Yes, Mr Alfanso. Me and Nina know each other really well,” Dimitri’s answer boiled Rican’s blood. This fucker was pushing his limits so badly that he knew his control would snap a
