Chapter 11

Third Person's POV
.
.
.
‘How did he find out that I was the one who uploaded his video? And also how did he know that this is my house?', This question lingered in her head. But then, he was the leader of the Mafia for a reason.
.
'Ho...How do you know?", She asked the dumbest question of her life, on which Zayden laughed. Her heart shrinks, not knowing why he was laughing. She had seen in the movies when the villain generally does horrible things after they laugh hard or smile evilly.
.
'You are so cute, sweetheart! Do you really think that I cannot find such a basic fact? For your knowledge, I have done little research on you and know everything about you.", he answered. 'But there is something which you should know about me. I hate lies, and I punish liars who dare to lie to me. But for you, the punishment will be different.", He said, and Grace started imagining all kinds of punishment that existed. Every option scared the shit of her. She had been a good student in school and college, so NEVER EVER in her life, she had been punished.
.
Grace heard the door opening. And she knew that her mom appeared, out of the house. 'I...I am sorry, Z.Zayden", she apologized and, her eyes started getting blurry at the thought of her and her mother's death.
He could smell her fear and felt hurt.
.
‘She really thinks that I will hurt her or her family members!', He thought.
.
'Do not. I do not want your tears to come out of your eyes. Otherwise, I will have to use my gun.", Zayden threatened, and Grace cursed him inwardly. After all, he did not even let her cry properly while his feelings were just opposite to her. 'Now, you can go.", The moment these words came out of Zayden's mouth, Grace took a step toward her mother but was taken aback by him holding her wrist. He again yanked her toward him, and she stumbled a bit to maintain the distance between them. She kept her palm on Zayden's chest.
.
‘What does he want now?', She thought.
.
Grace's mother was glaring at Zayden. She moved forward toward them but stopped in between when she saw Zayden glaring at her and signaled, ‘NOT TO COME NEAR THEM'.
.
'Let me go, Zayden.", Grace whispered and struggled a little to get out of his arms.
.
'Sure, I will, but first ‘THANK' me for dropping you home.", Zayden said with a sad expression.
.
‘I didn't ask you to drop me at my home.', Grace wanted to say this but went against this decision. 'Thank you so much, Z.Zayden.", She replied, hoping to get away from this criminal as soon as possible.
.
'And you didn't even apologize for forgetting to thank me.", Zayden said, raising his brow. He wanted to spend a little more time with Grace and didn't want to let her go.
.
'Sorry, Zaiden.", Grace muttered, even though she knew she didn't commit any sin by not thanking him. But then, who wanted to mess up with the devil himself.
.
'You didn't even say BYE before walking toward your mom."
.
'Bye, Zayden."
.
'You didn't even wish me ‘GOODNIGHT', sweetheart."
.
'Good Night, Zayden."
.
Zayden smiled at the thought of what was coming to his mind. He knew that Grace was reciting everything like a poem to get away from him as soon as possible. So, why not enjoy this? 'And you didn't even give me ‘GOOD NIGHT KISS'."
.
Grace mindlessly leaned forward to kiss him but stopped on the track when she realized what Zayden had asked of her and what she was going to do. Her heart started pounding loudly, and her face flushed. She started struggling in his arms and looked here and there, thinking about how to get away from him. Zayden sensed it and smiled at her innocence.
.
'If you are feeling shy about this, maybe I should give you a ‘goodnight kiss'.", Saying this, he leaned forward and kissed her cheek softly. ‘MINE', His wolf growled, and that was the moment his wolf finally confirmed his claim over Grace. He wanted to do nothing except mark her as HIS. Zayden's eyes were on Grace's neck where he would like to nick her. His mark would look amazing on her neck. He could not believe that Grace had raised so many emotions in him without doing anything. He wanted to do so many things for her but controlled himself.
While Grace, on the other hand, was looking at her sandals with wide eyes open. She was shocked and surprised at what just happened. Grace just got her first kiss. Her friends used to make fun of her for being a virgin and untouched by any man even, at the age of 28 years but, she was proud of herself for saving all of her first for the one man with whom she would fall in love.
.
Her shock did not end there. Zayden looked toward her and saw her flushed face. 'Have a sweet dream of mine, sweetheart. And stay away from that guy whom your father will choose for you. Because…", He lifted her chin to make her face him and she brought her gaze toward him. '....I am very possessive of my things and you are mine now. Okay?", He said.
.
She again lowered her gaze, not knowing what to say? Hearing what he just said sent shivers through her veins. When she didn't say anything, he asked again.
.
'I am waiting for your answer, sweetheart. Will you keep this in your mind about what I just said?",
.
'Yes..yes", She answered in fear because she did not have the guts to say NO to his face.
.
'Perfect. Now go!", Saying this, he released her and Grace ran toward her mom. Grace quickly ran inside the house, and her mother followed her, but did not forget to give him an angry look. Zayden was not afraid of anyone, so he just teased her with his smile. Once, the door of her house was closed. He left from there to walk toward his car. He had never felt so happy in his life. Just a few moments with Grace had brought a lot many emotions within him that he had never felt before like, jealously, when he heard that her father was thinking to get her married to someone else, love, when he saw her, care when he saw her crying, responsible when he didn't want her to walk till her house alone, playful when he asked her to give ‘goodnight kiss and the last ‘lust' when he kissed her.
.
Thinking about the kiss, it felt like sparks to him. His junior rose up at the 90-degree angle just by a mere kiss on her cheek. He knew that only Grace could bring all those emotions into him.
He started getting impatient to see her again tomorrow. He had planned something for her and hoped she would behave properly.
.
But he had no idea that the author had planned something which would spoil everything he had planned. LOL. ;)
