My Unexpected Marriage - Chapter 6

“S..S…SAM ZEUS JOSEPH???” I asked with a shaking voice.

I heard the chuckling voice from the phone. I really didn’t know that it is Sam Zeus or someone else. So I tried to muster up my courage and asked again with a stern voice.

“Are you Sam Zeus Joseph?”

“That’s more like it. So you want to know about me, then meet me at the Elite International tonight at sharp 8.00 pm. And the answer for the questions you asked now, YES I AM SAM ZEUS JOSEPH YOUR FUTURE.” He said with a confident tone and ended the call.

I was stunned by the confidence in his voice.What should I do? Should I go or should I just pretend that this conversation never existed. I became more confused. I didn’t see when my car arrived in front of me. I was in deep thought. Uncle Zen opened the door for me to enter. But I was completely lost in my thoughts and didn’t recognized what is going on around me.

“Miss Williams, Is there any problem?” Uncle Zen asked me and I woke up from my thoughts.

“No”

I said and entered in the car. The car left the cafe and entered the highway. My phone rang again and I looked on the screen. It is my father. I instantly answered the call.

“Dad”. I said.

“Shanell where are you now?” He asked me.

“I am on my way to home, dad. Is there anything you want me to do?” I asked.

“Yes, I just had a call from Sam Zeus. He said you are going on a date tonight.” He paused for a second and asked me in disbelief.

“What? On the way to home?”

Now I confirmed that the call I got was really from Sam Zeus. But I really didn’t want to do this. Actually I am afraid of the cold hearted devil. From the description about how he treated the girls gave a shiver on me. I didn’t want something bad happen to me.

“But dad…”

“No buts Shanell. Go and meet him.Just do what you are told and don’t mess up the whole thing and also dress up.”He told me.

Why am I in this miserable situation? Why did I do the background check on him? Sigh… I literally went into this devil’s hands and I could not blame anyone else since I was the one who made this choice. I cursed myself and hung up.

“Uncle Zen, to our mall.” I said.

When we reached the mall it was 6.30 pm. I have one and a half hour to reach the venue. I rushed to the popular beauty saloon in the mall and done a quick makeup. At the same time uncle Zen went to pick the dress that I ordered from the new edition of our textile company and came back with it. I slide myself into the dress and done my hair.It’s already 7.30 pm and I will be late if I didn’t go now.

“Uncle Zen, to Elite International. Its already late we have to go faster.” I said with a hurry.

“Yes Miss Williams.” He answered me then gave instructions to the driver..

At the same time at Elite International.

Manager Kim got a call to book the whole restaurant area of the hotel from the Zeus Corporation and also asked to do some preparation specifically.

“What are you guys doing? I told you to decorate the whole area with the flower lily stargazer. Also dim the lights and play the new romantic songs lightly on the background. Set the candles on the table. Is it that difficult to do these things.” Manager Kim ordered the employees while arranging what he was instructed to do.Manager Kim went to the kitchen after giving instructions to them.

At the Elite International kitchen, the fresh aroma of the dishes preparing by the chefs filled in the air. The smell of the dishes preparing could make anyone fall in love with it. They have the best chefs in the country. Manager Kim entered to the world of flavors and ordered the chef.

“Tonight we have an important customer. Make sure that the taste of the food is the best. He will arrive in a few minutes.”

Then he returned to the restaurant to check everything is done by the orders.

At sharp 8.00 pm, in front of the Elite International a black Bugatti La Voiture Noire appeared. It stopped at the entrance and a woman in her early 20’s who is wearing a grey pencil skirt, white cowl neck blouse and a high heels came out from the front passenger seat. She opened the back passenger seat door and a man wearing a black Armani suit and Tom Ford custome made shoes came out. He adjusted his tie and the billionaire watch before walking towards the front door of Elite International. He have black wavy hair which is combed properly, a fair skin tone, sharp nose and black eyes. Though his eyes are cold as ice the aura from him made him look like he is someone powerful and should not be messed with. The perfect face and a well managed healthy body made him more handsome. Seeing them Manager Kim ran towards the door to greet and welcome them.

“Mr. Zeus, Welcome to Elite International.” Manager Kim said.

Zeus looked at his secretary Lisa. She walked towards manager Kim.

“Is everything ready?” She asked manager Kim.

“Yes ma’am. Everything is ready as by your instructions. But the ‘young mistress to be’ is not arrived yet.” He said with a slight confusion. Lisa went over to Zeus’s side.

“Everything is ready, sir. But madam is not arrived yet. Should I check on her location?” She asked for Zeus’s permission to check on Shanell.

Zeus turned around and looked to the direction of the main gate. He saw a Porsche arriving towards the entrance.

“No. She’s here.”He said.

The Porsche stopped in front of the entrance. Uncle Zen opened the door for me,I got down from the car. I walked towards the front door. Apparently there were some people standing there and staring at me. I felt really uncomfortable. I was wearing an elegant peacock blue sleeveless dress having heavy diamond work. My black shiny hair is tied up as a bun revealing my  neck to everyone around me. The hair accessory used is matched with my dress by having a sapphire stone on it. Other accessories on me are there is a thin chain on my left hand and a big ring on my right hand ring finger. I was holding a simple red purse on my right hand and a blue shaded pinpointed high heeled shoe. But why are they staring at me?

I looked at them and I saw the six feet nine inch handsome person. I thought about many things like is he Sam Zeus Joseph? If it is him at least I can cross something out of the rumors because he is damn y. Is he looking at me now? Am I looking good enough to match his handsome face? I know I am not that of a beauty. But I am not ugly either. Argh… what am I thinking? Why am I concerned about my looks now? I should be worried about the person in front of me. He who is a cold hearted devil. But why am I not worried about it now? Am I falling for his handsome face? NO…. I can’t he will never love me… He will make you suffer Shanell. What should I do now?

I was immersed in these thoughts so I tripped on the step and fall down.

“Aahh..” I cried while closing my eyes.

(Zeus’s P.O.V)

The girl I have longed to meet is here. She is so beautiful in that dress. It really suits her well. I don’t think I can take my eyes off her. Why is my heart is beating so fast? This is the first time I have felt something like this. I know everything about Shanell. It is true that I have never seen her before. But I knew her like the back of my hands. Then why am I nervous? I know I liked her for a long time without even seeing her.But is this how you feel when you see someone you like for a long time for the first time? I have to control these wild thoughts. She’s just one step apart from me. OH NO, she tripped on the step. I ran towards her and caught her by her waist before she is fallen to the ground.

“Are you alright, Miss Shanell?” I asked her.

She opened her eyes and our eyes locked. I was worried by this small incident and my eyes betrayed me. I helped her to stabilize her position and stepped back from her.

“Yes, I am alright. Thank you Mr. Sam Zeus.” She answered me and after hearing her answer I felt relived.

“Let’s go inside.” I said to her before offering my hand to her. She nodded and paused for a second then clung her hand with mine.

We walked towards the door and manager Kim opened it for us then he led us to the restaurant. I gave Lisa a look indicating that no one should disturb us now and she nodded her head.

The restaurant was completely decorated with the flowers Lily Stargazer. The lights are dimmed and a light flow of some romantic music filled the entire restaurant. I asked them to decorate the area specially with these flowers because they are the favorite flower of Shanell. I looked at her and saw that surprised look on her face. She is really happy now I can see the glitter in her eyes. I am happy now that she is happy.

“Are you really Sam Zeus Joseph?” She asked me out of blue. I felt little annoying why can’t she believe it?

“Miss Shanell, are you implying that I am a con artist? Are you not going to believe the fact that I am Sam Zeus Joseph?” I asked her annoyingly.

“So it’s true. You are Sam Zeus Joseph, the legendary cold hearted devil.” She mumbled.

WHAT??? Legendary Cold Hearted DEVIL??? Is that what everyone calls me?
