Contract Marriage With My Ex novel Chapter 3

Her fear, Girard Carter

She tried her best to get out of Raven's hold. There was sweat running down her forehead speaking of her anxiety. Kiara banged her fist on his hard chest giving him hard time in controlling her. "Ehhh... Kiara, calm down, he will not hurt you. He is changed now."... He spoke assuring near her ear rubbing her back.

There was no way to calm her nerves down. "I want to go, let me go Raven."... She said sternly yet difficultly between her heavy breaths. The dark pair of black eyes that was staring her keenly with a chaste smile was intrigued and reading her behavior. She's not changed at all. Three years but still thebehavior, nervousness, fears... everything was just the same as it was in the old times.

"I don't trust him, nor do you. Now let me go."... She glared him, just being on the verge of crying. The advocate who was supposed to get their contract papers signed and get Raven through with this procedure, sat curiously in his seat looking at the businessman trying to handle his going to be wife, alas it seemed the toughest job for him as for now.

He was though in his mid forties, with wrinkled round shaped face, bald thin man with black eyes. His lips were thick and of pale color. The black suit seemed as though a dress hanging on a skeleton however one could clearly see the professionalism his face entertained.

Raven's one arm was locked around her waist and the free one he utilized to keep her still and protecting him from her back to back punches. "Kiara!"... A loud growl with high tone shout stunned her, she froze in her posture with her growing pupils fixing on his face that was red. The time supposedly was stopped, there ran a wave of silence- awkward silence that made both Girard and the advocate to pass glances awkwardly.

"Enough of your childishness" He shouted near her lips that turned her mute and eventually her eyes traveled down on her fingers those were shaking in fear. In fact the saline tear drops she had tried to hold back came sliding down her cheek turning her beautiful face sallow.

Raven sighed looking with 'What should I do with you!' look at his brother, Girard... the reason behind this outburst of their unusual condition. In turn Girard shrugged his shoulder biting his tongue. He had been the biggest fear of her life, her bully who would bother her every fucking second in the college.

However, the situation here was different. This time indeed he was innocent, and she was indirectly accusing him by crying hysterically like how she would cry after meeting up with her painful pranks and bullies. But here, just the difference was she was weeping because of the bitter memories and not him, who was enjoying seeing her like that. His favorite prey.

Okay, Raven gave his brother a conquered look. He closed his eyes before picking her up in his arms and taking her to the left corridor that has few chairs kept there in a line. She was still crying with her closed eyes. He made her sit on the chair and sat in front of her on his knees intently looking at her face that appeared to be cute. "Kiara" ...He rubbed away the tears biting his lower lip feeling not good. It's like three years after that breakup he met her the last day, she was now left as his last hope. He couldn't just let her cry when he knows she was important. "He's changed. We are no more in the college, he won't hurt you."... He tried to make her understand.

"He will and I know like the early times, you won't say anything to him. No matter what, he does to me."... She suddenly spoke making him feel relieved and bad at the same time. Okay, so he knew it. She was only scared of his brother who scares her like a creepy ghost with no legs floating in the air and sharp pointed teeth and handless creature that you see in a movie.

Otherwise, she is as brave as a knight in front of him. "You are diplomatic Raven. You always were I think I should reconsider my decision of marr-"... Her eyes shot open in shock, heart fluttering with amazing feeling, fingers curling around the fabric of his collar while breasts pressing against his hard torso as he smacked his lips on her supple ones before she could complete that statement.
