AZRA's pov
"Are y'all ready?" The referee asked. He saw the bikers nodding and proceeded. On the count of three... two... one... Go!"
Amidst many bikers, I sat on my bike, dons my helmet, hit the accelerator pedal, and waited for my fellow bikers to go ahead of me before taking off on another route.
It's not like others weren't aware of this particular route but they're too scared of risking it. They believe they'll die by taking this route. It's kinda true though, the road isn't paved, it's rocky and due to an uncompleted bridge, they're unable to use it.
That's not the case for me, I've been through here before so I know every route and corner. I know this part is shorter and also knows how to manipulate my way. My nineteen years of training made it possible for me to take risks.
In no time, I saw the broken bridge ahead of me, I didn't stop the bike, rather I *increased* my speed.
Damn, if my brothers see this, they'll panic. Anyone would think I'm crazy but I don't care.
The bike got to the end of the bridge and flew up in the air. "Woo hoo!" I shouted.
A few seconds later, I landed on the other side of the road and continued.
I entered the main route and realize none of the bikers has gotten to this spot. I smiled, sped off to the finish line...then I decided to wait for them.
"Whoa... That was less than ten minutes! How did you do that Azra?"
"It's a secret, I'll tell you if you kiss me" I murmured cockily, winking at him.
Lucas, the referee, raised his hands in mock surrender, or should I say acting referee because he only volunteered for this afternoon. No matter how tempting the offer is, I know he wouldn't dare.
He isn't the only guy afraid of coming close to me, the whole clan was and that's because of my family.
My father, Williams is the leader of the clan, he has five sons from different mothers. They are also bikers, they're fierce, ruthless is feared amongst clans.
I, being the only girl, is like a jewel in the family. They treat me like a princess but it gets tiring at times you know?
"No thanks, I'm better off without it,"
I smirked"Whatever."
Just then, I sighted the bikers. Shaking my head, I put a smug smile on my face. This will never get tiring.
The first bike arrived, followed by the second. third... and so on. They were all my friends.
"Damn Azra! For a minute I thought I won this time" Kelly muttered angrily.
"Wait what? Did she win again? How does she do that? "Another voice chimed in. It was Dale.
They were my best friends, we've been friends from childhood and are the only guys my father allows to get close to me – that doesn't mean he doesn't threaten them. I got down from my bike, smiling as they congratulated me then walked to my best friends and patted their broad shoulders"Keep practicing, I might let you guys win... in future"
"Ahh, this girl... "Dale muttered chasing after me. I snickered and ran away. Suddenly, someone shouted my name, I recognized the voice instantly and turned to see my big brother, Austin standing with a dark look on his face. He's always like that on the outside but deep down, I know he has a sweet spot in him, especially when it comes to me. "Hey, big bro, what's up?"
"Dad sent for you."
That sentence made my heart skip, I quickly rushed to him"What? Why? Did something happen?"
"Nope, you'll see."
*
I knew something was off the moment I stepped into the house. I heard dad's voice coming from my right and leisurely walked towards his study. I'm Daddy's girl after all, even though he's mad at me, he'll never raise his voice at me.
"Hey Pop -man" I knocked on the door and entered the study without waiting for a reply.
Williams was on a phone call when she entered"I'll call you back in a few" he muttered and hung up.
"You called for me Pop."
"Yeah, come sit. I have something to say to you."
Okay...
After I was seated, he started speaking slowly. Williams knows his princess wouldn't like this but he had to say it.
"Azra, there's this friend of mine who just returned to the state. He's looking for a bride for his son and he chose you."
Wait, what?... This is what he wanted to discuss? "Dad– "
"No Az, I've already agreed to it.. there's nothing I can do about it, in two weeks. you'll be getting married. This marriage will benefit us greatly."
I blinked, two weeks? Benefit us with what?
I scowled at him "What the hell dad!! I've told you before, I don't want to ever get married. I'm fine by myself so find a way out of this." I stormed out of the study angrily before he could finish.
Don't he get it? I'm not a wife material nor do I want to be, at least not now. All I want is to continue my dream of being a biker not marrying someone I barely know. What if he's an old man?
I've made it clear to him the last time that I am not interested but he still won't listen.
Walking out of the house, I strolled to the garage, grab my keys, mounts my bike before riding out of the house. I needed to clear my head and only one thing can do that. Shopping.
•••
I arrived at T–Star shopping complex after an hour of riding and bounced into the shopping mall.
Instead of going to the women's section, I went for the men's clothing. Yeah, I prefer guys' clothes. I don't think I have any female wear... maybe one or two. It's only there for fancy.
My dad is averagely rich so money isn't my problem. Just as I was walking around the Mall, a designer baggy Jean caught my attention.
Wow!
I fell in love with it instantly and quickly rushed over to it but the moment I grabbed it, someone took a hold of it too.
I turned to see a tall guy, a cute guy with dark hair which was styled nicely. He was putting on a grey suit and dark shades. From the looks of it, one could tell he's rich. He paused too and motioned for me to let go.
I smirked. Let go? Hell no!
I smirked. Let go? Hell no!
"I said let go," he said coldly tugging at the Jeans.
"No way, I grabbed it first."
"And I saw it first."
We ended up glaring at ourselves for a long time, no one wanted to give up on the jean. I mean who the hell does he think he is?
Our eyes were still locked glaring at ourselves when a voice broke the silence. Phew, for a moment I thought the air was getting hot. His gaze was unnerving – even through his glasses.
"What is going on here?" The manager said"Mr. Creed?"
"I want this Jean" he muttered glancing at me.
I raised my brows"I want it too and this dumb shit isn't letting go of it."
The manager opened his mouth in astonishment. Is this girl crazy or what? Doesn't she know who she's talking to? "Um miss, how about I give you the same brand from the shelf–"
I cut him off before he finishes"No, I want this, and I'm getting it."
The manager's eyes turned cold"Well, I'm afraid you can't purchase this." He pulled out the Jean from my hands and continued talking to my cloth rival like I wasn't there. I glanced around looking for something, anything to lash out my anger on. Fortunately, I saw a scissor on a shelf, by my right. Perfect!
I picked it up, sauntered over to them, and forcefully took the Jean from the manager's hand before speaking "You know... In the Bible, Solomon asked those women to divide the baby into two, so it's only right if we divide these Jean into two, don't you think?" I asked sweetly.
Wait... Was it Solomon or Samson? Ah, whatever.
Without waiting for their reply, I neatly rip off the Jeans from the middle and handed him one side. "There you go."
I smiled at their dumbstruck expression and happily walked away. Seems like this shopping was helpful. I was halfway outside when something occurred to me. The other brand the manager spoke of!
I raced back to the manager"Hey! You said you wanted to give me the other brand. Where is it?"
The manager looked like he was going to cry any minute, I'm sure he hasn't experienced such kind of thing in his life.
"Oh, I see it! Nevermind!" After picking Jean, I went to the checkout area and paid for the two pairs of jeans... Or should I one and a half?
In case you're wondering, my name is Azra Kings, nineteen years old. I have five brothers from different mothers, don't ask cause I don't know who my mother is but I'm guessing she's tan-skinned just like myself. I guess I also took her Auburn hair cause dad's blonde. I hate the fact that mine is lengthy, I would've shortened it long ago but my brothers objected to it.
"We're all guys in this family and you also want to be a guy? Your dressing is enough to make us go crazy in this house"Hayden, our second born would say whenever I bring up the topic.
•••
I left the Mall in a good mood and headed home. I need to find a way to ruin my dad's plan, I can't let him marry me off. I'm not ready for that yet.
Everyone was seated at the dining table when I got back. I stood by the door contemplating if I should join them or not cause I wasn't in the mood to see Pops. I made the decision and was about to leave when someone spoke up"Hey princess?"
It was Hayden, the second born. He's the quietest amongst them but I love him more cause he understands me best.
"You're not eating?"
"Come sit here Az" Dad muttered sternly.
I glared at him and leisurely went to sit beside Aaron–the fifth born."What happened? Did you get into a fight?" Harden asked.
"Or is it boy problems"Ryan, the fourth born chimed in?
"Maybe she's in her menstrual period, you know she usually gets cranky that period" Cole murmured from the side.
My face heated"Seriously?" He couldn't think of something else?
"Dad wants her to get married" The firstborn, Austin finally said.
Curses rang out through the room instantly"What?!!"
"What the fuck is he talking about Dad?"
He sighed"It has already been decided, I want her to get married to my friend's son, he'll be able to protect her in the future."
Harden growled, "Are you trying to say we can't take care of her?"
My thoughts exactly! I gave him a grateful look.
"No, I'm always thinking about what is best for Az... A day will come when your guys' attention will be focused on your woman. You'll forget about your sister so I had to find a guy that can protect her in the future. You do know that my enemies are much and are always targeting me. I might not be alive to protect her when I die."
Everyone became silent not knowing how to respond. Hmm, are you sure that's the only reason? I feel like there's more.
I became anxious" But Pop's..."
"Not now Az."
"I have a boyfriend!"I yelled at last.
The water which Aaron was drinking gushed out, splashing on Ryan"The hell!!"
All my brothers had different personalities. Austin gets mad easily, Harden is the quiet one, always observing. Cole is the cool one. Ryan is the most lively one and can make one laugh nonstop. While Aaron is the stupid one, don't tell him I said that but it's true. I usually wonder if he's my brother.
Anyways, looking at their faces now seems like they all took Austin's personality cause they look mad.
"Who is he?"
"Is he a biker?"
"Do I know him?"
"Is he as cute as me?"
They asked at once, Only dad and Austin watched me keenly. Damnit! I didn't think of that, it just slipped.
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat"Um... Well, you guys never allowed me to have a boyfriend so I had to keep it as a secret."
Austin's eyes darkened the more, he has treated his little sister as an angel and she dares hide something from him. He breathed through his anger" Has he fucked you?"
Oh, heaven! Did he just ask that? When will I ever have a private life, living with guys is sometimes annoying. My face heated as I thought of a way to answer. I know this matter won't be over till I reply. So in a small voice, I said"No, I promise."
I immediately rushed towards dad and grabbed his hand"Please daddy, let me be with him. I don't want to marry that guy" I purposely called him daddy cause he can't refuse me.
Looking at his princess's pitiful face, Williams couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. She's smart he must admit, he could tell she's looking for a way out. What she doesn't know is that there's no way out.
"Daddy please!" I let a teardrop and pouted.
"Alright."
"Yes!! I love you pops."
"No, not so fast, I'll give you a chance to be with him if he's better than the guy I have in mind and if he's able to take care of you." He paused for a moment and then"Why don't you bring him home for dinner? If he meets up to my requirements then fine, you can be with him but if not... You'll still be getting married in two weeks! With that, he walked out of the dining room leaving me speechless. Come on!! I knew dad was smart enough to know figure something out but why does he have to be so smart? Can't he just, agree and let me be with my imaginary boyfriend?
My brothers left one after the other after him leaving Hayden and me alone"You couldn't tell me about it too? I didn't expect that from you Az" he said before leaving.
"No... You don't understand Ahh" he called me Az meaning he's angry but that's not my problem now. It looks like I have to go boyfriend hunting.
Next-Day!
It was late evening already and I haven't come up with a solution yet so I left home with one intention in mind. Boyfriend hunting.
The guys in my biker clan don't suit my taste nor will they convince dad so I had to go search outside but the question is where? A thought popped into my head as I drove, bar. I can easily get a boyfriend there.
I arrived at the bar and parked my bike in a dark corner. Just as I got down from the bike, a figure appeared in front of me."Whoa...look what we've got here. It Mr. kings daughter"
Another figure showed up then another till I was surrounded by four guys... I stiffened when I realize something, they're not just guys but bikers! Bikers from another clan. They're my father's enemy.
KIAN's pov
"Son, come home quickly! I've been admitted to the hospital" Dad said on the phone.
Some chick was riding me when I heard his sentence. I pushed her off me and sat up"What? Admitted? What's wrong with you?"
"The doctor said it's acute bronchitis, some sort c-chest cold–" he started coughing frantically before he could finish.
"Dad? Dad! I'll be there soon okay? Just hang in there for me."
That was how I left Australia for California to see my dad. I had a private jet so I quickly arranged for the trip.
I was so anxious that I couldn't think straight. After several hours, I arrived home only to find out my dad wasn't in the hospital. He was sitting comfortably at home with a newspaper in hand.
"Dad?" I realized that dad has tricked me. He isn't sick, he just wants me to return home quickly.
"Come seat here son, I wanted to discuss something with you."
Seriously? He's acting as if nothing happened? I sat down and shortly after, he dropped the bomb. "I've found a bride for you."
***
So yeah, that's why I'm standing in the middle of men's clothing with a gloomy expression.
My company, C.K enterprises are divided into many sections... Textiles and clothing, shoes, phones, and laptops with many other things. There was an urgent matter that needed my attention so I came. As I was walking around the shelves, a Jean caught my attention. It wasn't the kind of cloth he usually goes for but he liked it.
Just as I was about to pick it, a small hand grabbed it. I turned to see a petite young lady staring at me with big eyes.
I was in no mood to argue then, I could only command with a cold voice"Let go."
Surprisingly, she smirked...
I mean she smirked at me, does she knows who I am?"No way!"
I wasn't interested in Jean but her determination to have it, made me want it even more. The manager took over the situation,n later on, I thought the crazy girl has given up but nope, imagine my surprise when I saw her with a pair of scissors.
"I'm so sorry Boss, I'll send someone to deliver the same pair of Jeans for you. Please don't fire me."
He wanted to take the half pair but I found myself holding onto it. I glanced at it for a while then "I'll keep it."
I left the Mall feeling worse than before, that bitch. Who the hell is she? And why am I keeping the other half?
I drove for a while then slowed down the cause of traffic. Suddenly, a thunderbolt power bike stopped by my window.
My windscreen was whined down so as she turned, our eyes locked, and oh shit! It's the girl from the Mall!
It took me a minute to realize that this girl doesn't give a damn about my looks nor does she know who I am. I'm not surprised though, I've always liked to keep a low profile even though I'm freaking rich.
I didn't even bother to bring my guards along even though it's risky. My enemies would have used this opportunity to strike but it's already so late, who would have time to monitor my movement?
The light showed yellow then green, before I could hit on my accelerator, the motorcycle beside me sped off and in a blink of an eye, she's gone like a wind.
A biker? No wonder she's crazy. I should have known that from her dressing.
My mood was still so complicated the next day. I couldn't help but think dad's words all over again.
Get married?
Hmm, does he think I'll agree to it just because he said so? What if she's not pretty? Or she's disabled?
A thought popped into my head that made me heartburn. What if she doesn't have ass? If my woman doesn't have enough backside then where is the fun in that?
Besides, I'm still too young to get married, just twenty-five years old and he... Damnit! What if it's an old woman? I might love fucking mature women but I have my limits.
I angrily walked into my mansion and went straight to my room. Maybe it's just a trick, I'll go over to his house tomorrow and see if he'll mention anything about it.
My heart settled a bit after that thought, I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom to shower. Shortly after, I came out of the bathroom and decided to sleep early. The company still needs me tomorrow morning.
Twenty minutes later, I was still rolling on the bed. I succeeded in pushing dad's words out of my head but another one came in.
The crazy biker girl.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and got up. I think what I need right now is a good fuck. I nodded and with that thought, I dressed up and headed outside.
Xander, my driver was outside when I walked out. I nodded at him"Get the car ready."
"Yes Young master, do you want the guards to accompany you?"
I thought about it for a while and shook my head"No."
He got the car ready and in no time, we left my mansion"Where to sir?"
"A bar, I need a low-key one."
He understood what I meant. I didn't want to go to bars that'll draw attention. Or one where reporters hang in.
So he drove to a strange part of the city where I've never been to. He kept driving further till I had to ask"Where exactly are we going?"
"The bar you asked for... It's just around this corner."
I gazed at the location he was pointing at and shook my head. He wants my billion worth car to go in there? No way"Just park the car here, you know what to do."
He nodded"I do Young master."
Xander has served his master for a long to know that he wants him to find a woman for him.
He opened the car door but paused when he remembered something. Cash. Every woman likes money and that's how he draws them. He opened his armrest and was loading the money in his pocket when someone grabbed his hand.
Before he could react, he was flung out of the car. He landed hard on the floor and watched in a daze as the person drove away with his car.
It took him a moment to realize that his Master is in danger. Shit!
Some guys stopped beside him cursing"Damnit she got away!"
"How the hell did she outrun four of us?"
AZRA
My heart skipped, damnit!
They're the Fox clan- my father's enemies. Hold on... Were they stalking me? I was so anxious about boyfriend hunting that couldn't pay attention to my surrounding.
"Wow, she suddenly lost her tongue? I thought rumors said that she's feisty" the guy in front of me questioned.
"What do you guys want?" I asked softly despite the fact I was panicking inside.
"What do we want? You of course!" They laughed as I'd just said a hilarious thing.
A hand suddenly reaches out to grab my behind. I froze"I'm going to give you ten seconds to let go or else... "
"Oh that's it sugar, she's like a little wild cat, or else what baby?"
I have lived with guys my entire life so I wasn't defenseless, my brothers taught me how to fight just in case I get into a situation like this.
I slowed my breathing, marked their location, and in one swift move, I punched the guy behind me and took off on a run. Of course, I'm not stupid enough to fight off those guys. They overpower me. Had it been it was one person or two then I could have fought with them but in situations like this, the best thing to do was flee.
I heard curses behind me" That b*tch! Don't let her get away!"
Hmm, they want to chase after me? It'll be their loss cause this ghetto is new to them. On the other hand, it wasn't it to me.
I ran into a dark alley, a place I know would slow them down. I stopped running and started tiptoeing to the other exit.
As expected they slowed"Shit! We lost her!"
"No, you idiot... Keep going. She shouldn't be far from here."
"But, where exactly are we heading to? We've never been to this part of town."
"Will you stop whining and keep moving? If boss f*cking find out we lost her, we'll be in deep shit" another voice chipped in.
I arrived at the exit and added my pace, running as fast as I could. I thought I've already lost them but nope. A voice suddenly rang out"Over here!! She's over here!"
I turned in the direction to see a scruffy guy racing towards me. I gulped"Oh boy."
Why are all the bad things suddenly happening to me? Did I offend someone?
Without wasting time, I ran again this time, heading to the highway. Oh someone helps me. These guys are determined to hurt me.
My father's words drifted into my mind "You do know that my enemies are much and are targeting me. I might not be alive to protect her when I die."
Are these the enemies he talked about? Why haven't they attacked me since? Why now?
As I was running, I spotted a flashy sportscar ahead. The front door was open which meant the driver isn't in at the moment.
Oh heavens! I knew you would create a way for me, you wouldn't let them capture me. With that thought, I ran towards it.
----------------
Oh my gosh, I did it! I Fucking did it! Ha!
I glanced at the wheels of the car and smiled. Yeah, I also got blessed with a car, an expensive car at that. God is really on my side!
I changed gears and sped up, shouting"Woo hoo!!" Thank goodness I learned how to drive back then. I was twelve at that time, I usually watch and observe my brothers.
I was still driving at a high speed while smiling like a clown when I heard"Who the fuck are you?!"
