Enchanted Love

“Master, your breakfast” Jason looked at the tray which had his favorite items only. He knew he can’t resist food for sure but marriage? He pushed the tray not wanting to push hard to make the food spill.

“I don’t feel like eating” He politely refused.

“The bride’s family will arrive anytime. And I am sure you won’t insult me in front of them” A voice echoed that sent chills to everyone around him but he stood unfazed.

“At least tell me that it’s not that devil whom you wanted me to marry off” Jason asked all annoyed with his father who had a very powerful aura but a soft loving stare for him.

“Jason, you are thirty not thirteen. Just grow up” Just like that Jason knew who the bride was. The one who made him all embarrassed in front of his family. The one who made fun of him and her smile is still fresh in his memory. She is purely a devil, a beautiful face with venomous actions.

“I will never marry her” Jason slammed the door as John Williams sighed tiredly. He didn’t want to force his son but he has no choice now.

“Someone is waiting down” Hearing his servant’s voice, John made his way to the main hall as he saw Clara staring at the picture over the wall.

“Miss. Taylor” John exclaimed as Clara shifted her eyes to the person and she gaped at him.

“Omg.” she closed her mouth as Alex is not in the sense to notice anything as he is displeased with Miss. Taylor alone.

“Mrs. Smith” Alex corrected as John laughed at the young possessive man who he knew very well because of Frank Smith.

“Our CEO” Clara mumbled as she saw this man at the inauguration of the Cancer department in their hospital and now she is too angry with Jason for this drama. She had bad mouthed about him many times even about his face. Jason would always laugh at her comment but now she is too embarrassed to even stand there.

“Clara” Jason came there with of course a hint of guilt as she came to know at last of his family.

“Don’t call my name” Clara whispered and turned away with so much anger and Alex felt like dancing. He didn’t know the reason but he felt so happy to see them fighting. Wow.

“I guess he didn’t tell you about me or about his family.” John laughed at the annoyance of Clara.

“His friends always make little gaps when they come to know about me. You see, I am a little strict father” John laughed as his sound echoed all around to make the atmosphere a little easier.

“that’s because you always spy them about me and always tortures them. That’s why I didn’t make you meet Clara or tell Clara about you” Jason chided with full annoyance.

“anyways. The evening is his engagement. So make yourself comfortable here till then and attend the function” John left the place leaving no time to argue.

After one hour of the sorry session, Clara turned to his side.

“my friends won’t help me against my dad so only I had to call you” Jason pouted.

“And what makes you think that she will help you now?” Alex asked as he was comfortable enjoying the orange juice.

“Won’t you?” Jason asked hurt with her sudden expressions. He had many friends and they chose to stay away from him only because of his family background. Some wanted to use him for money while some feared getting involved in high society people. He genuinely thought that Clara would not leave his side whatever happens.

“She never gets angry. But if she got, did you see how much i had to go through to win her back?” Alex asked Jason as he couldn’t agree more. Clara is too adamant when iy comes to forgiving her friends.

“fine. What do you want to do now?” Clara asked, unaware of the boys’ talks about her. Alex widened his eyes when Jason smirked proudly at Alex.

“No need to compromise your nature. You can be angry” Alex spoke but Clara didn’t mind even answering him. She knew about the duo’s banter and wished to stay away as far as possible.

“I don’t want to waste our precious time here.” Alex whined as he gently pulled her gown sleeve ruffles, making her frown with his continuous nagging.

“OMG.” Clara gaped when the bride made an entrance and the media people. started covering her pictures. She is absolute royal princess of the modern era.

“Do you still want to cancel your wedding?” Alex asked Jason who is not in his senses after seeing the bride.

“He is not like someone who falls for beauty. He didn’t like her in the past and now also he won’t” Clara retorted but Jason’s expressions were telling a different story.

“I will be your lover tonight and she might rethink her decision to marry you. What say?” Clara asked as Alex pulled her waist possessively, making her flinch with his sudden action.

“I told you already that whatever mistake you do, the punishment would be extremely sweet for me and embarrassing for you” Saying so, he pecked her rose lips and travelled to her neck in front of Jason who was just shocked to witness a scene. As far as he remembers, Clara is fierce like fire and no one can tame her. Seeing her like a scary cat in the hands of Alex is a treat to watch.

“Lover?” Alex asked as he showed his anger in his grip. Clara gulped seeing a different side of Alex. He was never like this.

“Don’t you feel that you are taking the liberty of your sweet husband?” Alex asked, playing in the crook of her neck.

“I was just trying to tease you. ” Clara mumbled honestly, praying hard that he would stop but his actions got deeper when she admitted her motive.

“So you wanted me to get angry like this?” He asked and Jason could do nothing than to adore them. Clara showing this side is very new to him and he doesn’t want her to change like before.

“But I like the idea.” Edward jumped in like a monkey with a huge grin as Alex shifted his gaze to his friend’s side.

“Who invited him?” Alex asked, still grabbing her waist.

“Let’s play this. It would be fun. Clara would be his lover so that the bride would voluntarily stop the engagement.” Edward grinned more, adding fuel to the fire.

“In that case, I would love to play a dirty playboy who always finds an opportunity to grab this girl from Jason” Alex spoke with a smirk and Clara slapped herself mentally to even suggest this idea. She just wanted to tease Alex but in turn she is now being teased.

“Guys relax. How can you all try to ruin this function? I mean, I can’t do this. My dad’s reputation is at stake and you guys are so sick” Jason yelled at everyone as they gawked at him wide eyed.

“Men will be men” Edward commented as he noticed Jason’s stare at the stage where his bride is laughing and enjoying.

“Just because I hated her ten years ago, should things be the same now?” Jason reasoned his decision and Clara opened her mouth wider with his sudden jump in his words.

“As a friend, you all should have advised me.” When Jason ended his speech Clara slapped him, startling everyone. Alexa and Edward closed their mouths with their palms witnessing such a scene while Alina cheered for her friend to atlasy enter her gang.

“Idiot” Clara mumbled and that one word spoke volumes like why did she even come here to help him and why the hell she had to witness Alex’s dark possessive side which she was not aware of till now. The slap was not a hard one but Clara losing her calm is one real thing.

“Did you take your tablet? ” Edward asked when they all entered the hall and Jason hopped up the stage without minding to notice his father who was mocking him with a tease smile.

“Edward, if you ask this one more time, I will kill you and give my name as initial to my kid” Alina yelled loudly and just like that the couple came to the spotlight as the audience looked at them in awe. Clara laughed at them recalling every function where they made it to the center of attraction.

“They always do this” Clara mumbled with a laugh, seeing Edward and Alina.

“what?” Alex asked, not understanding the thing.

“Grabbing attention in other’s function” Clara replied adoring Alina and Edward.

“Do you want to be the center of attention?” Alex whispered as she shifted her eyes to him.

“Not at all. I hate it” Clara replied instantly to stop her newly craze filled desire of husband. But it’s too late as his smirk grew wider.

“we would be in the highlight.” Alex whispered, paying no heed to her playing eyes.

“Maybe more than that joker” He added and Clara slapped herself mentally to even mention Edward and Alina
