DESTINED TO LOVE
EPISODE 7
Edan’s POV
I was in a d–n bad mood right now. It’s all mom’s fault. She just wants me to settle down and have a real girlfriend. I had refused her thousand times, for god sakes I’m only 23. I want to enjoy my bachelor life. I’m a player! I don’t do dating and other shits.
But unexpectedly my mom arranged a blind date for me. A girl named…
What was her name?
Aahh… Yes! Sara Lill! That was her name. She was fine. Yeah! A bit sexy too but I hate her. She was d–n so clingy and won’t just keep her s–t mouth off. I rejected her on the spot. A one night stand would be fine but whole life with her.
I would rather die.
She started cried as she was a mommy-daddy girl, but do I give a f–k?
No!
My mom was a bit angry but she knows well that I couldn’t like her, that snotty big mouth. She cried but who cares well I don’t. I don’t give a f–k about her.
I looked at the time it was 9:10.
Where the hell is Emma!
Did she quit or something? She can’t do that but what if she ran away? She is so darn stubborn and she can do anything. I have never met anyone like her. She is somehow… interesting.
I heard the door opened and as I looked up, I couldn’t seem to breathe. No one had ever made me feel like this… Usually its the opposite of this situation.
What is this d–n thing?
Why couldn’t I get her out of my mind? Why couldn’t I seem to function when she’s around? Maybe the answer is simple she isn’t attracted towards me. I am sure once I will get in her pants I will forget her and I’ll be back to my normal player self.
Hopefully yes…
“Miss James you’re late,” I said coldly whilst making my mind clear.
“Yeah. I know that. You don’t need to tell me that.” She replied sharply.
So I’m not forgiven yet.
“Miss James no apology?” I said, a playful tone in my voice.
“Look who’s talking? The jerk boss! Let me remind you, my so forgetful boss. You didn’t apologize me in the first place and secondly, you made my life as hell. So we’re Even Steven.” She said, her hands on her hips.
“So Miss James! I guess I have to punish you then.” I said with a smirk as I stood up from my chair.
“Well, I like your dress. I might say you look beautiful today.” I said while getting closer to her.
“I can see you had done a great effort to impress me,” I smirked as she rolled her eyes.
“What? To impress? Who? You Jerk?” She scoffed.
“Why would I impress you? You jerk. I had dressed like this for someone special not for someone jerk b@stard..!” She yelled at me.
Someone special? Who is this
someone special?
I tensed.
“Who is this someone?” I hovered over her, my eyes intense dark. The thought of someone with her boils my blood.
D–n! Its just been a day and I am acting like a possessive boyfriend!
Darn it!
“I don’t think so there is any need for me to tell you that..!” She snapped.
“Well Miss James let me remind you, I am your-”
“What? Boss? I already know that. Tell me something I don’t know.” She said interrupting me.
She is so stubborn and challenging, she isn’t a bit afraid or intimidated by me.
So different!
“Then I will tell you something you don’t know Emma,” I said getting closer to her and as I get closer, she stepped back, her eyes wide open as she stared at me bewildered. I took another step forward and she did backward. We were taking our steps when her back hit the wall.
Great!
I put my arms on the wall, blocking her. Now she could not escape. I lean in, our body and faces a few inches apart. She was wide shocked. I noticed her cheeks which became a bit red and I smile inwardly proud of me in control. I lean closer so that my mouth was near her ear.
“You…” I said while licking her ear as she flinched.
“Are…” This time I nibble her ear.
“Mine…” And this time I kissed her sensitive spot behind the ear.
She trembled a bit but hold on to herself. Her face red tomato and I chuckled a little as I looked at her face.
After a moment she glared at me, her eyes blazing hot.
“YOU!” She yelled at me and started hitting me on my chest with her hands balled into fists.
Her eyes getting teary, her voice getting lower.
What the hell?
“You bastard! Y-You jerk!” She said while sobbing.
“I hate you…hate you.” She said hitting me, her hit wasn’t painful, they were so light.
But… They did hurt!
Why? I can’t seem to get what had I done?
She spun around in a flash still sobbing and I just stayed there confused. I had never seen that reaction before, usually, women will grin and beg me to take them right there but Emma! She’s so d–n different.

Emma’s POV
That jerk! Why he had to come near me? Why he had to touch me? This kissing, touching bring horrible memories to me. It brings back the memories of my boyfriend, my first love and it’s not easy to forget your first love.
He was my prince charming, my knight in a shining armor, my savior… And in the end… He ruined me. He took my trust and broke it. He ditched me and left me all shattered into pieces. My heart was broken, I was torn into tiny pieces. I spent a month in crying and to gather up my broken pieces and to arrange them.
From that day I made a promise to myself. To never trust a guy again and to never let any guy come near to me, but that idiot had to ruin it…ruin it… I sobbed.
Emma snap out of it! You’re not that Emma. That broken Emma died three years ago. This is new Emma, brave Emma, fearless Emma… And you will show him, who that bastard is dealing with… I reminded myself, staring myself in the mirror.
I wiped my tears and get a hold of myself. After half an hour I decided to just forget it. I looked at the files on my table and started reading them, indulging myself in work. It was lunch time but I wasn’t in a mood to go to the cafeteria. So, I decided to leave the lunch and stayed in my office.
My intercom beeped and with that… my breath hinged.
Should I pick it?
Yes, I will! I won’t show him that he had gotten me. I am brave Emma.
“Yes?” I said politely.
“Miss James, have you eaten anything?” He said, his voice laced with concern.
But why?
I had never heard his this tone before.
“Y-Yes.” I lied.
“Come to my office now.” He ordered me.
“OK.” I decided to follow his order. I’ll show him I’m not a cry girl or some vulnerable, pity girl. I am a strong person!
I picked up my bag and went through the small connected door to his office.

Edan’s POV
I know she’s lying. She didn’t go for lunch at all. I hadn’t seen her left her office for once. I still didn’t get it. Why did she start crying when I touched her? Did she cry because she thought she is cheating her boyfriend?
Such a naive girl she is!
But I’m not going to accept defeat! I will get her if I have to take it slowly. I always get what I want. And I will get her too!
I heard the door opened as she walked slowly towards my desk. I could see she was avoiding me. Her head down as she was looking at her hands, her fingers intertwined.
“Emma,” I said slowly.
She didn’t answer
“Emma look I’m-”
“Only my friends and family are allowed to call me by my first name which you’re not. So with due respect, Mr. Wilton call me Miss James.” She said in one breath still looking down.
I stood up from my seat and walked towards her and she started to back away. As she did, I quickly grab her hand and she sucks in a deep breath. I know she was troubled right now and I want to be the one to comfort her. I hold her chin gently and turned her face so that she looks straight into my eyes. Her eyes were red and puffy and I could tell she had cried. My heart clenched.
But why?
“Look I’m s-sorry.” I stuttered a bit as I had never said that to anyone before.
But why did I said to her? Why did I feel her pain?
I could see her eyes softened a bit as she tried to talk but no word came out of her mouth.
“I know you haven’t eaten anything.” I changed the subject, but she didn’t respond and I was sure now that she hasn’t eaten anything.
“Come eat with me,” I said while taking her hand moving towards the couch.
“I’m not h-hungry.” She finally spoke.
“Okay then just sit with me.” I took a seat on the couch.
“I-I-…”
“Please.” I cut her stammering.
F–k! What’s going on with me? First sorry now, please?
D–n it! My tongue isn’t in my control right now.
She nodded and sat beside me I didn’t let go her hand as I was a bit I don’t know afraid? I think…I thought… If I let go her hand she’ll run away. I don’t want that. I’m going to gain her trust if I have to take it step by step.
The door opened and a tray full of food was brought in. I had already ordered some food beforehand.
The food was placed on the table in front of us and I ordered the lad to go. He went out with the tray and I started to put a piece of fried chicken along with macaroni and cheese on the plate and offered that plate to Emma, but she shook a no. However, her stomach had decided something else. As I was drawing the plate her stomach growled a bit.
“Looks like Miss James, your stomach is thinking opposite of it.” I chuckled as she got a bit embarrassed, her face slightly red.
“Are you going to eat? Or should I feed you?” I smirked.
Her eyes shot up and she hurriedly took the plate from my hand.
“Good girl.” I patted her head lightly, a smile on my face. She was surprised but didn’t say anything.
After 40 min. We were done.
“Thank you, sir.” She muttered.
“No need to. I thought it’s a good way to apologize for my behavior. I am sorry Miss James.” I said politely.
“I’m-I’m s-sorry too.” She whispered. “I should go now I-I have some w-work to do.” With that, she turned around.
“By the way, Miss James call me Edan.”
“B-But…”
“That’s an order Miss, or else I’ll call you whatever I like.”
She gave a slight nod and went to her office. I smiled.
Well, I think I can do this slowly…
Not need to make a rush, in the end,
she’s going to be mine…
I smirked.
And I’m gonna prove it.
