My Unexpected Marriage - Chapter 8

When he touched my chin and made me look into his eyes why do I feel some sort of urge to be with him? Did I really fall into love with him without even my knowledge? Why did he had a protective look and care in his eyes? Can I really marry him? Will he be able to give me what I really want? Why did I felt some warmth in him even though he speak in a harsh way? I was thinking more about him and took out the papers which had information me and my friends collected about him. I looked at it and flipped the pages one by one. Then put it back in the file I had. I looked out of the car and saw the many red lights on the road. The road had a rushing traffic and I looked to sky it was dark and had many stars. I like starry nights. I used to watch starry sky from my room when I was a small child. After my brother is born I spend most of my time with him and didn’t had more time to watch the sky. Because I was the one who is in charge of teaching him about everything related to our businesses.

My brother is home schooled due to many reasons. Some of those reasons were he had to take many language lessons for communicating with foreign business men,he know Korean, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese besides English. Also he have to practice martial arts, shooting, horse riding etc. And mainly he is home schooled for his own protection and to avoid more public appearance which may cause any danger to him; my father had many business enemies and they tried to kidnap him once when he was a child. It gave my dad a big shock. So he made both of us to stay at home for more than a month. I begged him to let me study in a school for two weeks continuously. At last he agreed and let me join International Boarding School but he made sure that no one really know my identity other than some main faculties and my best friends Sam and Vern. So Aya, Frey, Rohi and Cyn didn’t really know my identity. Even though they are my friends I could not really say more about my family background to them. They always thought that I am like them who is a heiress of some rich family like them. But the truth is I am nothing like them. I am the heiress of the third most rich family in the country. The heiress of the Nirvana family. Since I had to keep a low profile my dad arranged one of his loyal friend to be my guardian. And whenever I had to speak about our family matter I had to use him, his family and his businesses as my dad, my family and our businesses. That’s why I told my friends about moonstar entertainment company when they asked about Zeus. Suddenly my phone started ringing and I looked at it.

“Hello brother…” I answered the phone.

“Nells, where are you? Why are you not home yet?” Shane questioned me.

Nells is the name he calls me, he is the only person who calls me that name.

“I am on my way back Shane. Don’t worry about me. And also wait for me, I have to discuss something with you. Ok.” I said with a serious tone.

“Okay, come back safely Nells.” He said and hung up.

I reached home by 11 p.m. I rushed to Shane’s room.He was playing some game.

“Shane how many times I have told you to stop playing such games and focus on your studies?” I said.

“Oh come on Nells its just one game.” He argued back.

“Okay let’s just drop that for now. I have more important things to discuss.” I jumped to the topic.

He stopped playing the game he was playing now and come near his bed and sat on it. He waved his hands indicating me to sit beside him on his bed. I walked to the bed and sat beside Shane.

“Okay what is the “important things” that you suddenly wants to discuss with your handsome brother? He asked me and I rolled my eyes at him.

I tell everything straight to my brother since childhood. It is easier for me to communicate with Shane in a straight forward way.

“I was in a date with Sam Zeus Joseph.” I said.

“What?Date?Why didn’t you tell me about it earlier?Sis is everything ok?”He asked in one breath.

“Shane, I think I should give a chance to Zeus.”I said.

Shane was having trouble to believe my words.He had many reactions flashed through his face and then said.

“Wow wait a minute sis, you are impressed by him.”

“I think it’s more like ‘I fell for him’ than impression brother.” I said.

“Oh My God… You fell in love with him in just meeting him once. That is quite impressive of him.”He said with a surprised look on his face..

“Yeah brother, I really don’t know how to explain it. When I saw him my heart skip few beats.” I said.

“But Nells I want you to have a life with love. I want someone who care and understand you and love you the way that I love you or more than that, to be your husband. When I checked about this Sam Zeus Joseph I came to know that he does not treat girls nicely and also he is called as a cold hearted devil. How can I trust someone like him and give my precious sister to be with him?” Shane said with concern.

“But Shane, I guess he knows my every favorite things. How did he know about it is mystery for me? He arranged to decorate the date venue with my favorite flowers and played my favorite music. We had my favorite dishes for dinner. He also helped me not to fall on the ground when I tripped. He looked worried when I tripped. When I asked him to delay our marriage he refused it. But he told me that I have to go to medical school instead of business school. Don’t you know that it is my dream to become a doctor. He even told me that he will discuss it with our dad. So it’s okay my over protective brother. We just have to give him a chance.” I ured Shane with my thoughts about Zeus.

“Alright sis, if you are okay with him then I should give him a chance. But if he make you sad, then I will never let him go.” Shane said.

“Alright alright now go to bed its late, you have martial arts practice in early morning. I have to meet our dad. Goodnight bro.” I said and walked towards the door.

“Goodnight Nells.” He said and closed the door behind me.

At the study room of our home, my dad was going through some important files on his desk. I knocked on the door.

“Dad, I am back.” I said.

“Shanell, come in.” He said without taking his eyes from the file he was checking. I went to the side of his desk and waited for him to speak first.

“Did you go to meet Sam Zeus?” He asked me.

“Yes dad, I met him.” I answered.

“So now that both of you have met each other you have to meet his parents. We will have a family dinner on this weekend with them.” He said.

“Alright dad. Goodnight.”I said.

My dad was moving fast with the idea of my wedding. I wish Zeus could convince my dad with my preference in the studies. My only chance to study what I like is now on the hands of Zeus. I hope everything will be okay after this.I thought about it and walked towards my room.
