AYAAN'S POV

Huh?" I asked turning around coming face to face with a woman around 24 yrs maybe?

"Thats not how you talk to a woman, a girl as a matter of fact! Where are your fudging manners?" She asked clearly annoyed.

Who the hell uses the word fudge? I strangely found it cute though. What? I don't even know her and am already......

"I apologise, ma'am. I was not in my right mind. I usually don't talk to woman like that!" I said apologising and liking the fact that she was drooling over me like all those other girls.

She is different.

"Ummm...huh? so ? That doesn't give you the right  to do so. What was soo abnormal today that you forgot your gentlemanly ways?" She asked when she was tongue-tied at first recovering quickly, quoting gentlemanly ways with her fingers in the air

"My father just dropped... Wait why am I telling you this? I don't even know your name. We are practically strangers!" I said feeling weird as to why I was willingly ready to tell her what happened.

Confused?

I know! So what do you say about rewinding back to the part where I was going to my dad's office?

I was thinking about what dad wanted to tell me so urgently.

As soon as I saw his face, I knew it was something not in my favour.

He had that stupid smirk on his face that said' I am going to destroy your life! HaHaHaHa' not literally but anyways will change my life soon enough and I  am pretty  sure I wont like it to .

"Ah! Son, welcome, welcome! Take a seat." He said with an amused grin.

Oh no he called me son. This is not good.

"Dad, no need to beat around the bush! what is it?" I asked right away nonchalantly.

"So I have been noticing you for sometime! And I have decided to put a stop on your man whorish ways!" He  said trying hard not to laugh.

Huh? man whorish ways? What the actual hell? I have barely dated 3 girls in my entire life. Then what is he talking about?

"I know what your thinking. That was me being dramatic because I  have pretty much no other reason to make my point valid! Even though  its still invalid." He exclaimed.

I  stared at him for a few seconds and burst out laughing..

"Dad, you do realise you just praised me for being a good guy?" I asked him in between my laughter when he started laughing along with me.

"and my parenting skills." he said in between.

After a few minutes he stopped laughing and put on his serious face.

"This is serious, Ayaan! The company is at stake here !"  He said seriously .

"What? How dad? What happened?" I Asked suddenly  aware of the depth of the situation.

" Here read this will. It was made by your granddad! I can't believe he doubted my skills in raising my children. That man irritating me even after going to heaven. May his soul rest in peace" He said scowling at first and later smiling at the thought of his daddy dearest.

I would say he was and still is a dadda's boy.

Frankly, I have never met my grandfather, but the things dad told me pretty much gave me the idea of him being a cool guy.

"You can't blame him dad.He had practically stated the truth!" I said trying my best not to laugh.

"Yea, You won't say that when you read the will!" He said smirking evily at me

I took the will from his hands and what it said knocked the breath out of me.

"Marriage?" I asked alomost chocking on the word itself.

"Yea, the dude wanted my son or as he says my 'heir' to be married to inherit the company! So sorry son , get married in like 2 months and get the company or it goes to your so called 'uncle'!" He said scowling just at the mention of his brother's name.

Yea, He and his bro are not in good terms.Don't know why! But something serious happened.

Anyways!

"But dad, thats not possible, I can't just get married! There is a long process before that! I gotta find a girl first , fall in love with her and then comes marriage after like what 8 years ?" I exclaimed annoyed.

"Yea, so fall in love like in 45 days or forget about the company and start preparing for living in the streets." He said knowing I was just bullshitting about the fall in love part.

I stormed out of there.

Angry at my grand dad I never met, Angry at my present bad luck, Angry at everything and anything and thats how I bumped into the pretty woman who was trying to teach me manners.

Which let me tell you my mother has made sure to teach me but I was kinda enjoying it ,she was looking cute !

I was brought out of my thoughts with her snapping her fingers in front of my face

"I said something!" she exclaimed

"what?" I asked  her  dumbfoundedly

"Nevermind ... " she said huffing out in the end

"Whats your name though miss ?? And by the way am Ayaan....." before I could complete my sentence she cut me off

" Micheal Kingston. yea I know and I do not share my details to strangers ! " she said, her face a little red maybe because she realised what she has done. 

Which basically is that she knows which she should because I dont think she lives under the rock to not know  me !!!

LANA!

(okay  okay sorry I couldnt help it)

"So, as an apology , I would like to treat you with coffee. So can I have the honours? " I asked her like a gentleman giving her my heart stopping smile

What? Thats what people say not me. I didnt make that opinion about myself.

I dont know why but I really wanted to know her.

And thats exactly when I realise that there was a kid with her and she is missing.

Great!

"Hey! " I approached her cautiously.

" Yea?" She asked still oblivious to it.

"Umm... sorry to bring it to your attention but wasn't there a kid with you? short and all I assume your sister?" I asked her trying my best to no freak her out .

"Yea, my sister!" She said with a huge smile on her face which turned into a frown then into a scowl and then the infamous wide eyed horror face that women make when they realise they lost something.

Exactly what I was hoping will not happen.

"Aubrey! Aubrey! Aubrey !" She started calling out her voice raising every minute.

Here goes nothing.
