His Contracted Love

Chapter 1

**Xen Black's POV**

"Mr. Black, we have already informed you two years ago, without getting married you can't get the remaining seventy five percent shares of your property. Your parents have clearly written on your legal documents, a year after your marriage you will be handed the remaining shares of your parents property," my long termed family lawyer proclaims.

I have been hearing the same script from these so-called legal advisors since some years and this has been infuriating me every time I hear that.

"I need a shortcut for this. I don't like marriages. I fucking hate that stupid ceremony where one gets sacrificed and others enjoy being others sacrificed," I growl.

"If so then, you have to take the risk of losing almost more than half of your property which will be directly passed down to the charity organization as per your parents's wish," the lawyer warns.

I scratch the tip of my nose in agitation. The legal meetings had never been so much romantic journey for me. They have always been a complete horror movie for me.

I get up quickly from my seat and arrange my tuxedo.

"Sir, where are you going on the middle of the meeting? We are still to proceed with the meeting," the lawyer suggests.

"To search my bride. I need the my property to be mine by next year," I grunt and saunter away from there.

"Back to the mansion. I need to meet my old folks and have a little discussion with them," I say as I hand over my bags to my assistant.

"Yes, sir," he clasps my bag and drives me back to my huge mansion.

I quickly get out of the car and run towards the main centre hall of the house in which the large picture of my parents is decorated at the centre wall of the corridor.

"Old folks why are you so stubborn? You know I don't want to be with stupid ladies. I loathe them completely. Why don't you understand? The women out there are only hungry for my money. They don't love me they just love my fucking money and my huge dick. They are just good to lay with and nothing more. I don't want to get married. You old folks are playing such a foul game with me, aren't you," I say as I tower in front of them.

I hate them. I hate women. They suck. Each and everyone of them is so much selfish. That want fame and money and nothing else from me.

The huge grin on my dad's face seems so solemn and my mom's smile is more than just the smile. He looks so gorgeous and she looks so beautiful in the picture. I wish I could feel the warmth of their hands on my cheeks right now. I wish they were here right now with me.

"Still talking with them. That's for your own good," an old lady's voice comes from behind.

"Grandma! You too! Aren't you all trying to make me crazy with this illogical things called wedding and all," I say without any interest.

"Marriage is beautiful. Don't you see how happy your parents look in the picture with each other. You just have to give yourself a chance. I have got a picture of a girl. She is the only daughter of Marbles and Co. I heard she is super beautiful. She will give me beautiful great-grandchildren, I suppose," she squeaks happily and pass me the picture.

"Grandma! You want to start again after knowing all about me. I don't have any interest in women and you know the reason," I scowl.

"I have less days to live. I lost my son and daughter in law when they were young and took care of you all my life. Don't you think I deserve to see your family before I die. At least you and your wife. I don't know how long I might live. I am like a setting sun which may light out at any moment," she says boldly.

The only relative and the only person, I love in the whole world is my grandma.

After the death of my parents, in that car accident she has been my everything. My friend, my guardian, my parents, my everything.

I was twenty when I lost them and it's been almost eight years after that incident.

I really love them but the circumstance they are puttng in front of me is more than just a heart attack for me.

And after hearing the blackmails of my grandma, I am kinda unhappy cause somewhere in my heart I know that she is getting old and she could close her eyes at anytime.

"Grandma why would you say that? You know I love you so much," I say as I embrace her old, feeble and wrinkled hands. Those hands which taught me so many things in my life.

"Not so much that you will get married for me," she says.

"Women are betrayers grandma,"I growl lowly.

" Not all of them," she said. But I knew that all of them are like that.

"What if I die so soon?" she says.

"Fine, let me just meet her. But grandma, I have right to reject her if I don't like her," I walk to my room as I say that and take a shower.

I wrap the towel on my lower torso and pick up the picture from the desk.

She looks hot and young and beautiful. I will not deny the fact that she is extremely beautiful but she looks younger than me.

I am notified with the date and place to meet her at the dinner. My grandma could sometime be faster than any internet service of the whole world. I knew how fast the communication system of past times could be just by seeing my grandma.

After dinner, I directly go to my room and check some documents from the company. My company really needs the remaining seventy five percent of my property. It's on it's high peak right now and I cannot back up at this moment. I cannot just give up on it.

So, I decided to meet this girl for two reasons. One is for the happiness of my grandma and the another one is I need my property. I can't just let go of it to some charity organisations.

I can't let ZB group of companies just to go in vain after all these years effort.

The picture is still on the desk. She is beautiful but she doesn't interests me.

The next day, I am supposed to meet her. But before I meet her, I wanted to do a cross check on her.

Melina, 18 years old, first year in college and a single daughter of Marble and co. Her father is one of the main marble merchant in the whole state and he remains one of the richest person among the top ten businessman in the city.

" What should I arrange for your schedule sir for today?" my assistant asks me.

"A way to get back my property and grandma's happiness," I say but he doesn't understand for a while.

"We're going to Florida College to cross check on someone," I say and he stands in awe.

"Yes, sir on my way," he starts the car towards the college.

When I reach the college, it is their lunchtime.

"Give me a mask," I ask a black mask from him as I don't want to be discovered by anyone of them.

It is a huge college and I don't know where to search for her. So, I just enquired about her from one of the student and got to know that she is somewhere near the college for her lunch.

"Search for the nearest cafe and look for her," I say to my assistant as I hand over the picture to him.

He returns after few minutes with the news that he found her. He guides me towards the cafe and motioned me silently towards her.

Yes! I gotcha!

She is just some tables away from me. I walk to her and get a seat opposite of her.

She is good. She has perfect figure with quite large boobs than her body and huge hips. She is extremely sexy despite of her young age. I could feel my erection hardened just by looking at her.

"What do you think of her Mr.Brad?" I ask my assistant as I crossed my legs.

He looks confused with my question.

"Come on! I just want to know," I ask.

"She is good,"he says.

" Mel! She is coming. Is everything ready?" one of her friends says and her voice is quite loud that I can hear it so clear.

I look at the direction she is pointing. A lanky girl who might be of same age as them, dressed in waitress outfit came with a tray of coffee in her hands. She walked towards the table.

And in some minutes, she falls bad on the floor right in front of me and the hot coffee is spilled on her body.

"You deserve it, bitch," she growls.

Chapter 2

**Xen Black's POV**

"You deserve it bitch," the girl in front laughs as she spills the remaining coffee in her body.

She flinches with the hotness.

"What the hell are they...?" my assistant stands up but I stop him. I want to see the whole show. How far they could go after this.

"I am done here. I don't think the employees here are so much gratified for the tips they get. I should complain to them," Melina stands up swaying her curvy body with tight body hugging black dress lengthening above her thighs.

The girl in the floor is tearing. She looks hurt.

"What are doing? Aren't you suppose to apologise to me?" Melina asks.

The girl on the floor stands up and dust off her legs with tears at the rim of her eyes.

"Why should I? What wrong have I done?" she says with hurt yet bold voice and it amazes me.

"You... How dare you talk back at me?" Melina raises her hands on her but before she could do that someone blocks her and get a slap for her.

"What's this? Why the hell would you do that?" she grunts in madness.

"By the way, my name is Angelo. Owner of this hotel and its my responsibility to protect my workers," he gives her a sinister smile.

Angelo?

My breathe hitches as I hear his name. I stretch my head to look at him.

Yes! That is the same Angelo. The same fucking Angelo who destroyed my life. It has been so long we haven't seen each other and I meet him here. What the fucking coincidence?

"Don't get meddled in my business Angelo. Get yourself out of this matter," Melina again tries to slap her but he stops.

"Easy lady. Don't think about hitting her. She's mine," he says and kisses on her hands while she stands there aloof.

"You are such a bitch, damn slut," she shouts and stomps her feet and get out of there.

I sit there and see both of them.

It seems like he quite cares for her and she kind of likes him. I could see the way she sees him with her eyes reveals so much love in them.

But go to hell Angelo!

You don't deserve to be loved. After you have done such an ugly thing for me. I am going to ruin your life like you had done to mine.

"Excuse me! Can I get my order, please?" I call her.

She turns around and say," Yes, sir. I am here."

She stands in front of me. She is quite shorter than Melina. Not so curvy but quite lanky. Her hair tied in rough low ponytail and some of her hair falling on her forehead. Less makeup or I would say no make up at all but her face is still so much beautiful. Her grey eyes sparkles so much. No one can tell that this girl was bullied some moments ago.

"What do you want to order sir?" she asks.

My eyes were ogling the unseen beauty of hers.

Damn Xen!

Get back. She is one of the same girl like you have hated.

"What is the most expensive food here? Bring me that," I say.

"Yes, sir," she tries to write but her hands trembles as she holds the pen. Her hand is swelling and there is rashes all over her hands.

She looks awkwardly when she couldn't write and immediately gets away from there.

"What do you think about her Mr. Brad?" I ask him.

"Her? I already said sir," he says.

"Not her. The one who took the order right now?" I ask as I brush my chin with my finger.

"You like her, sir?" asks.

I just grin looking at her. Angelo seems quite fond of her. He sees happiness around her.

"You're hurt," he holds her hands.

"No. I am okay," she says and changes her working dress.

"Should I drop you?" he asks.

"I am okay. I will take a bus ride," she says and runs towards her entrance. I leave the bill before I even got a bite of it.

"Sir, where are we going?" my assistant asks me.

"Cancel all my schedules for me today. I have some other work," I say as I follow her.

I take my keys and drive following her from behind silently.

I sound like a creepy stalker but this girl is making me interested. The way Angelo is behaving to her is making me more interested in her.

After approximately half an hour, the bus stops in front of the high building. A hospital.

She walks in the hospital. It was kind of rehabilitation centre for some drug users.

I follow her without her notice.

She walks towards the garden. I follow her from behind and hide at the bush.

"Austin!" she cries out a name and runs to hug him.

He is pale and kind of weak. They share quite a good bond. They might be siblings or maybe some best friends.

After some minutes, she leaves him on the basketball court and meets with a doctor. I hide behind the bush and hear them out.

"Emma," Austin tried to run away from here last night too. He turns into a monster when he misses his doses. I know it's obvious but you need to talk with him about this and yes, his three months bill is pending. If you don't pay it within this month, the authority is obliged to let him go out of here," she says.

"No... Doctor please don't do this. I will manage money but you have to take good care of him. I can't give up on my brother," she says.

So, he is her brother.

"Manage it as soon as you can," she says and departs.

She stands there for quite a while and her brother calls her.

"Emma, what are you doing over here? When did you come?" he asks.

So, her name is Emma.

"Just some moment ago," she replies. I get shocked when I hear that. Didn't he met her some moments ago? How could he ask that question?

"I will be playing with my friends. You go home and make some good food for me," he says and pushes her.

She stands right in front of the bushes where I am hiding and she sits down and cries with her silent tears.

I don't know, why I feel like I should just wipe her tears away and tell her everything will be alright. She is woman. Like all selfish woman but why do I feel like I should help her.

Chapter 3

**Xen Black's POV**

She crouches in front of the bush, I am hiding. Without letting her notice, I leave from there.

I had quite a show in a day. I find two different characters of women in a same day. One bullies and one is a bully.

Most of all, I found someone whom I hated for my whole life and wanted to take a revenge for what he did to me.

He was my best friend. He was my fucking best friend and yet he did that to me.

Being rich is good. You get everything on your plate easy. But sometimes being rich brings you so much pain in our life. We are used just for the sake of money. People don't love us but they love our property and since that day, I stopped trusting people and started trusting my money more.

I rush to my office. This happens. Whenever I am in so much stress, I make myself work so much. They call it a madness but I call it utilising my time on proper work.

I take out all the documents that are piled in front of my desk since the morning. I can't believe I just walked out to follow that girl leaving all these important projects.

It is almost eight pm when I grab the last file for a day.

"" Project Smile""

I become amazed with the title of the file. What is this project smile?

I am quite focused and attracted to the file and turn over the pages of it.

It is the file of some students who are going to get the scholarships from our company. Every year, we provide the scholarship for deserving candidates and even provide them with the employment opportunities in the company.

Thousands of students apply for it and only the few of them get a chance to get this scholarship.

There are applications of hundreds of students and this was supposed to pass through my assistant.

I look at the clock. Still some time for the date, my grandma fixed for me. So, I think it's better to go through the list.

As I turn the pages, my eyes get stick on one of the application.

"Emma Harper," her name comes out of my lips.

This face, this smile is quite familiar to me. This face is fake and I know that she is such a good actress. She can put up a fake smile and fool the whole world but not me.

I detach her application from the file and tore it into pieces. I don't have any interest to look at her marks and her achievements.

Then, I close the file and write a cheat in there.

~To the management team~aw

I stand up and stretch my body and pick up my coat and trot out of there.

I am supposed to have date with so called Melina at exactly nine. I walk in the venue I am supposed to be. It is a restaurant which is quite in a nature friendly environment. There are so many beautiful small resorts for the guests.

I see her waiting for me in one of such cottages.

I walk behind her when she picks up the call.

"What? Angelo likes that poor and ugly bitch. I can't take this now. I have been watching over the Angelo for so long and I don't want him to be taken away by anyone. This girl should learn a lesson," she says and stands up from there.

As soon as she turns around, I close my face with my palm and hid myself. There is a waiter standing beside her.

"You still standing over there. Take your fucking bills and get lost," she shouts and bolts out in a rush.

She is wholesome spoiled child and doesn't have any of the manners at all.

"Let's us get in the pub that little sly Emma works on," she says.

My breath hitches as soon as I hear her name.

Fuck!!!

I should just stop myself from involving myself from her business but the name Emma attracts me so much to her and when I heard that Angelo likes her, I feel something worse within me.

My steps follow Melina towards the pub. I rarely go to these kinds of places.

How poor is Emma that she has to do multiple jobs in a single day?

Melina enters the pub and so do I.

She meets her bunch of stupid friends in there and they start to scheme against her.

They get a seat near a bar and start drinking.

"Angelo is made just for me. Call that fucking bitch in front of me. We need to order," she shouts.

I look around but couldn't see her. One of her friends stand up and gets back with her in front of her.

"Bitch, we need some more drinks," she says and she returns back with drinks on her tray.

"Get here you sly girl," she says but she doesn't move even an inch.

"Didn't you hear me? This is why I have poor people. They try to have ego when they don't have any money," she says and stands up from her seat with her wobbling legs.

"You know what I totally hate you. I hate you so much that I want to pee on your face every time I see you. Why the hell Angelo should like you when I am here," she shouts so fiercely and throws the drinks on her face wetting her white shirt with it and making everything visible.

She drags the attention of the whole pub towards her.

"Ohh! I am sorry. I got you wet. Why don't you strip off your clothes and show your sluttiness to everyone.Just show them what you have got you bitch," she says as she pushes her towards the table and she falls down.

What's wrong with this girl? This girl is a mental patient completely.

"Mam, you need to stop this. You can't do this here," some workers stopped her from being mad and took her out of there.

"You fucking bitch! Why can she flirt with my man all day and I can't even be rude to her," she shouts while she is being dragged out of the pub.

"Emma" I hear the voice of Angelo coming from the entrance.

The way he runs to her and hugs her makes me so much infuriating. I hate the way he touches her.

"I am okay," she says as she walks out of there and he follows bee behind and I do too.

She walks ahead covering her chest with her hands.

"Emma? Emma?" He shouts.

She walks without stopping and stops after he calls her for quite a long time.

"Angelo, do you like me?" she asks.

He stops for a while and then tucks his hands behind his pockets.

"Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?" he asks.

"Then, you shouldn't. Don't you understand why I am going through all of this shit? I have a brother whose bills I have to pay every month. He is a waste but even after that he is the only relative I have and I have to take care of him. Why don't you understand I desperately need these jobs? I have to pay his bills or else he will be dragged out of rehab this month," she shouts with her eyes full of tears.

"Okay don't cry. I like you. It's true that I like you," he says.

"Then you shouldn't. I am not made for your love," she says and walks away from there leaving his jacket on the floor.

The rain suddenly starts to fall and her steps are slowed. She walks slow paced steps as her cries increases its intensity.

Taking off her heels, she walks barefoot on the road for a while and sits on the bench by the road.

I follow her to the bench and cover her head with my coat. She looks scared while I place the coat over her head. Her eyes seem to be cleaned with her tears. They look swollen and reddish.

"Excuse me! Who are you?" she says as she clutches her my coat over her chest?

"I have a offer for you," I say.

"What? Sorry mister but I am not that type of girl. You're mistaken," she says and she tries to stand up and run away from there.

I hold her wrist as she tries to run away.

"I know you aren't that type of girl. Trust me I am not asking you for anything vulgar. I am going to pay you high price for it," I say.

"You are lying. Why should I trust you?" she says trying to get out of my wrist?

I pulled out the card out of pocket and place it in her hands.

"I am the CEO of ZB group of companies and the money I promised is valid," I say and leave her hands.

She looks over the card and then, to me. Seemed as she really recognized me. She presses her mouth with her hands and leaves it out.

"What should I do?" she asks.

"Marry me," I say.
