Bewitched by him

Have someone you like?

“Okay. Let us get engaged,” Samantha suddenly announced seriously.

William was taken aback by her sudden words.

Wasn’t she supposed to be giving an idea? Why is she saying this?

After thinking for a second, he still felt that she should have an idea in her mind.

Though she looked timid in front of her Father, he was sure that all that was an act. Instead she was not a person that would go along with others’ plans about her life.

From what he understood about her, she is the type of person that would happily jump to another ship as long as she doesn’t like the ship she was traveling in. How could such a person be willing to get married to a person whom she doesn't like?

Hence he was still waiting for her next words.

Samantha smiled at him, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I am waiting for your plan.” William was once again honest with his words.

Samantha tilted her head sideways with a look of confusion on beautiful face, “Plan? What plan? We are getting engaged and then married. There is no plan.”

“...” William couldn’t believe her words, “Don’t you want to go back to your mate?”

“Well, I want to. But that doesn’t mean that I can. Since we have no other choice, I can only succumb to my fate and marry you. Why? Don’t you want to marry me?” Samantha asked back while taking a step towards him.

William subconsciously took a step back, “Of course no. Why would I want to marry someone who loves someone else?”

“So you don’t love me?” She took a step forward.

“No.” He took a step backward.

“You don’t want to marry me?” She took a step forward.

“No.” He took a step backward.

“You want a plan to get out of this marriage?” She took a step forward.

“Yes.” He took a step backward.

“So that you can marry someone else?” She took a step forward.

“Yes.” He took a step backward.

“You have someone you like?” She took a step forward.

“Yes.”

As soon as he replied, he froze in his spot. He robotically turned his head to look at Samantha’s face to find that she was now looking at him with the same teasing glint she had earlier.

That is when he understood what she wanted to do. She wanted to make him confess that he already has someone he likes.

She just kept on asking questions and somehow it turned into a rapid fire and he spat out all the answers that he himself did not know that he felt.

“...” He looked at her blankly but a tinge of red crept at the tips of his ears slowly.

“Hahahahaha! Did you see that? Did you see how I made you accept that you actually like someone? You still dared to lie to me? No one can lie to Samantha. Hehe.” She looked both happy and smug at the same time as she kept on laughing at her ‘victory’.

“...” ‘We are clearly talking about a plan to handle the issue of our marriage. Why do you have to go back to this topic again?’

He did not dare to say another word in front of this crafty woman. Hence he decisively kept quiet.

It is not like she would leave him just because of his decision to stay calm.

Samantha once again got close to him and raised an eyebrow, “So? Who is that person? What do you like about that person? Looks? Eyes? Smile? Behavior? How is that person’s behavior? Cute? Cold? Bold? Feisty? Seductive? Come on, don’t stand like that without talking. Tell me more about that person.”

“...” William was dumbfounded by this woman’s enthusiasm and also the types of questions she just shot at him in a row. He himself had not thought about all those things until now.

After all, he did not have a single thought when he answered Samantha’s earlier question.

He was still in a state of surprise after getting to know his inner thoughts. Did he really like someone?

There is no need for him to think about the identity of that person. Because he already understood that he would think of that weird man named Oliver. At least he was sure about that.

Until now he felt that he should not have any sort of feelings towards that man. But now, because of Samantha he was sure that no matter how weird that man was, he still stole a piece of his heart.

Well, maybe he did like him a little but that still doesn’t mean anything, right? After all, there is no way they would meet each other again.

Samantha on the other hand kept on asking him questions about the person whom he likes and even grabbed his hand and started shaking it to ask him for details.

After keeping calm for sometime, William finally understood one point.

No one can keep something away from Samantha as long as she wants to know. She would do anything to get her answers.

Hence William too resigned to his fate and sighed before finally opening his lips to answer, “Well, I think I like someone. But I met him only once. So I don’t know much about him either.”

Samantha’s eyes widened at the news. Then her gossipy eyes started to shine as she came closer to him and started gushing, “Oh my! So you like a man? That’s great! And you met him only once? It means it is love at first sight! How romantic~”

"..." William did not understand the thoughts of a young woman.
