(Skylar P.O.V)
“You want to wait?” I asked shocked.
“If possible, then yes,” he said while looking at me.
“You are marrying me because you have no other choice,” I said with wide eyes when the realization hit me. So he was marring me for being out of the choice.
“No, because I think we are suitable for each other,” He answered while looking at my eyes.
“Now, let’s go before your aunt started assuming that I hurt or killed you,” he said in a taunting tune holding my hand leading me her toward his carriage.
"You will come later, right?" I ask him when we reach my aunt mansion and he helped me down the carriage.
"I will but now we have a bigger problem to face," he said and look somewhere and I turn to saw my aunt standing in front of the door sending daggers at him.
"A...Aunt," I shutter while looking at her with a wide eye.
"I hope you have a good excuse Raychand," she said while looking at him with a death glare. She takes out her gun and points it on him.
"Aunt no," I shouted at her and come in front of him to protect him.
"Stay behind me Skylar," he said and make me stand behind him to protect me.
"You asshole, you compromise her," she shouted at him still holding a gun in front of him.
"Put down the gun aunt! He -" I said but cut off by her.
"Shut up! You are in no position of talking Skylar," she shouted at me while glaring at me.
"Yes, I did it! but I will marry her," he said looking straight in his eyes.
"I don't believe you," she shouted at him while still pointing a gun at him.
"You can't do anything else but to believe me," he said looking straight in her eyes daring her to argue with him.
"Do I have your words that you will marry her?" she asks putting her gun down.
"Yes you have my words as much as it costs," he said with a sigh of relief.
"You better do Raychand or I will destroy you," she said while glaring at him.
"Trust me, I will," he said with determination.
"I will see you all in the evening," he said to her.
"Take care of yourself," he said kissing my forehead and with a curt node towards my aunt he walks out of my garden. I walk inside the mansion with my aunt and as soon as we enter there she started checking for any injury.
"I'm fine aunt Malissa," I said assuring her.
"What the hell were you thinking young lady?" she shouted at me.
"You know how dangerous he is but then also you were gone with him leaving us at the ball to worry about you, do you know how many times I died worrying about you? Thinking that what if anything happens to you? what will I say to your parents when I face them after my dead, didn't you thought even about your parents before going with her?" she asks, I was about to say something but she stopped me showing her hand.
"Go to your room, and don't come out of there until evening," she ordered me and I oblige without any protest knowing it will only fuel her anger.
6:00 pm in the evening we were sitting in the living hall waiting for him to arrive well we all except Erika.
"What if he doesn't come?" Erika asks while pacing around the room.
"Yet again something must've happened or he just simply forgot," Erika said still pacing around the room.
"Will you calm down already Erika? You are wandering around the room over an hour now," I said getting irritated by her moving around the room thinking all the negative things.
"And you two aunt. You almost have 8 cups of tea since I come back," I added while looking at her.
"Can you blame us? We were worried sick for you," she asks while running her hands on her face.
"Since I'm here trying to calm down. You are acting as I died," I said closing my eyes to calm myself.
"It's is worse than died, You are compromised," she said with an accusing stare.
"We are lucky that he will marry you," she said while looking at me.
"That if he comes," she said with a sigh and there is an uncomfortable silence until we heard a knock on the door.
"That must be him," I said while looking at the door.
"Eral Raychand has arrived madam," Maria said entering the room.
"Let him in," the aunt said getting in a straight poster. And as in cue, he walks in the room.
*Why are you so handsome every single time I saw you?* I thought while looking at him.
"You are late Raychand," my aunt said in a stern voice.
"I'm never late madam. I am even early," he said with a playful smile.
"Hmm...Skylar, Erika you two go to the garden," aunt direct us in a stern voice.
"I will stay here," I said standing my ground. Of course, I will not let him deal with her cruel ways, I know how protective my aunt get very well when it comes to her children.
"This is a matter we have to discuss alone," she said while glaring at me.
"This is a matter of my future, I have every right to stay," I said looking straight in her eyes. I know I get in trouble later but I don't care anymore.
"It's better to leave this to me - " Xavier said but I cut him off.
"Don't start ordering me out Raychand," I said in a stern voice.
"Go, Skylar," he said calmly and I storm out of the room shutting the door loudly while gritting my teeth.
