Chapter 8: Engagement

Isla's p.o.v

Three days later,

I am on a conference call with Autumn and Mark.

" You both are coming for engagement, right?", I asked Autumn and Mark.

" Yes!! I am coming as your friend as well as Carter's date", Autumn said.

" Great!! What about you Mark??", I asked him.

" I will come", He replied.

" I can't wait to introduce you to Avery, Jenny and Dylan", I said, happily.

" Even we can't wait", Autumn replied.

" I will be absent for two days. I will meet you both at the engagement party. Don't be late", I warned them.

" Don't worry!! We will be on time", Mark said.

"See you later", I said and disconnected the call.

Avery needs my help so I went to her room.

" Hey!!", I asked her.

" Please Help me!! I am confused. I don't know what to do", Avery said, nervously.

" Relax!! Firstly take deep breaths", I said.

She listened and took deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

" Yes, just like that. Now tell me what happened??", I asked her.

" I don't know. I am having second thoughts. Is this the right time to get engaged?? Should I have waited for some more months?? I don't know, She said.

" You are just feeling jittery before the engagement. It's kinda normal. I know how much you love Ian and want to spend your whole life with him. So just relax and enjoy your special time", I said.

" You are right. Thank you", Avery said, hugging me.

" I am always right", I said jokingly.

" Now help me in choosing the accessories. This one will look good with the engagement dress or this one?", She asked me, showing the pendants.

We both got busy selecting the accessories.

Engagement day,

Today is the day when Avery and Ian are going to get engaged.

Dad had booked a five-star hotel for the engagement. Dad wants to give Avery her dream wedding. Everyone is very excited about the party.

I have gotten ready in a beautiful red dress which has strings on the back.

Avery is getting ready with the help of the make-up artist.

" I will come after meeting my friends. Till then you get ready. I will be back soon.", I said to Avery.

" Okay!! But please come as soon as possible", She said.

" I will", I replied, before going to the party hall.

Ian's family had not arrived till now.

I  spotted Jenny and Dylan in a corner.

" Hey", I said to them.

" You are looking beautiful", Jenny said, hugging me.

" Not more than you. Right Dylan?", I replied, teasingly.

" Without any doubt", He replied, winking at Jenny, making her blush.

" Let me call Autumn and Mark. They were excited to meet you both", I said while calling them.

I told them our location and asked them to meet me.

After five minutes, I noticed them coming towards us.

" Over here", I said, gaining their attention.

" Welcome to the Party," I said, hugging them.

" Thank you", Mark said.

" She is Jenny and he is Dylan, my university friends and Jenny, Dylan met my office friends Autumn and Mark", I said, introducing them.

They mingle with each other easily. I got a phone call from Mom.

She asked me to bring Avery to the hall after fifteen minutes since Ian's family is arriving within five minutes.

" Guys, I need to leave. Please enjoy yourself. I will meet you all later", I said before taking my leave.

I went to Avery's room. She had gotten ready in a beautiful princess gown.

" You are looking beautiful", I said to her.

" Thank you", She replied, smiling.

" It's time to go. Excited to meet your prince charming???", I asked, teasingly.

" I can't wait to see him ", She said, boldly.

" So finally my bold girl is back", I said, smiling.

We made our way towards the hall. Outside the Hall, Ian is waiting with another man. Our couple is going to enter together.

I smirked seeing Ian lost in my sister.

" Hello, dear Brother-in-law", I said, smirking.

" Hello, beautiful", He replied, coming to his senses.

" Careful, Brother-in-law. I hope you don't want to make my sister angry, calling me beautiful", I said, smirking.

" She is my Angel, my lifeline. No one is more beautiful than her in my eyes", Ian said, sweetly.

" So sweet", I said, making Avery blush.

" Ian, at least introduce me to your fiance", the man, standing beside Ian, said.

" Sorry!! Meet my cousin Axel", Ian said, introducing him.

" She is my fiance, Avery and she is Isla, her sister", Ian said, introducing us to him.

" Hello", Axel said, greeting us.

" I want to ask you something, Sister-in-law", Axel said to Avery.

" Yes?", Avery said.

" How did you fall in love with my monkey brother?", Axel asked, teasing Ian.

" You idiot!!", Ian said, slapping his head, making Avery and me giggle.

" Guys, It's time for your couple entry. We will meet you both later", I said to Avery and Ian.

Axel and I entered the hall leaving both of them alone.

After two minutes, music changed in the hall. The door opened and our beautiful Couple entered the hall. Family and friends started to shower rose petals on the couple.

Both of them had beautiful smiles on their faces. Axel was standing with me, telling me funny things about Ian's childhood, making me giggle.

I moved my eyes from Avery and Ian feeling a heated gaze on me. I was looking around when my eyes fell on Aaron.

He was throwing angry glares towards me. I furrowed my eyebrows, seeing his eyes filled with anger.

" Why is he eyeing me angrily?", I mumbled.

" Did you say anything?", Axel asked me.

" Nothing", I said to him. I noticed Aaron had gone somewhere. I tried finding him but failed. Later, I got busy due to the engagement party.

Soon, Ian and Avery exchanged their rings. Everyone clapped for the couple and blessed them.

I went to find my friends and noticed them standing together.

I was a little surprised to see Axel standing with my friends and he looked familiar with Mark.

" Hey guys!! I hope you all are enjoying the party", I asked, going close to them.

" We are", they replied.

" You guys already met Axel, he is Ian's cousin", I said.

" Axel is not a stranger to Mark", Autumn said, making Mark blush. I noticed Axel is also blushing.

" How??", I asked, feeling confused.

" You remembered his date one week ago? ", Autumn said.

" Yes!! Who was very hot according to Mark and he want to jump on him and fuck him?", I asked.

My friends giggled hearing me except Mark who gasped hearing me and Axel who was smirking which I don't know why.

" Axel is the one whom Mark wants to jump and fuck that night", Autumn said, giggle.

" Ohhh…..", I said, giving an innocent smile to Mark who was glaring at me.

" Thanks for telling the secret, sweetheart", Axel said to me, smirking.

I am happy for Mark and Axel. I think they are perfect for each other.

We got busy with each other. Axel and I went away from them because we needed to attend the guests. We were  walking together when….

" Should I tell you one secret?",Axel asked me.

" What??", I asked.

" If glares can kill then I would have died a long time ago", he whispered to me.

" What do you mean?", I asked.

" Your crazy  lover has been glaring at me angrily for a long time. I am sure he is thinking about how to kill me", Axel whispered.

" My lover?", I asked, not understanding.

" Turn left, he is looking jealous seeing me talking with you", Axel whispered.

I slowly turned and saw Aaron sitting on a table, glaring at us angrily.

" He is not my lover. He is jealous?? No way. He didn't have such feelings towards me. For him, I'm a child", I said sadly.

" Trust me, he doesn't see you as a child. He looked at you like a man looked at a woman, the woman he wants to have for himself only. I am a man and I know how a man look at a woman whom he desire even though I'm gay and like man. He knows nothing about me being gay so he is feeling jealous thinking I am interested in you and want to charm you.", Axel said.

" You think so??", I asked.

" Yes!! I can prove it.", Axel said and went from there, winking at me.

" Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for our special couple to join the dance floor.", Axel went on stage and announced.

Ian and Avery came  on the dance floor. A romantic song starts playing in the background.

Soon other couples also joined them on the floor.

" May I have a dance with you, sweetheart", Axel asked me, smirking.

I said yes and we both started dancing. We were dancing but our eyes were on Aaron who was glaring at us while drinking.

He was holding whiskey glass tightly which breaks due to pressure. I gasped seeing his reaction. His hand was bleeding badly. Aaron went from there before anyone could notice him. Luckily no one noticed him due to music.

" I told you he has a special feeling for you. Maybe he has not realised it till now.", Axel said,

" I need to go. His hand is bleeding badly", I said and went from there.

I went outside the hotel and found him near his car.

" What are you doing here?",Aaron  asked me.

" Your hand is bleeding", I said, holding his hand. I have taken a first aid kit from the hotel staff.

" What was the need to break the glass?", I asked while cleaning his wound. He didn't say anything, just kept looking at me, making me nervous.

I tied the bandage on his wound.

" It's done. We should go back", I said. I turned around to go back when he held my arm and pulled me close to  him.

" Stay away from him. He is not good for you", Aaron ordered me and went from there, leaving me behind.

I stood with my mouth wide open in shock, with only one thought in mind…..

" Is Axel telling the truth?? Did Aaron also have feelings for me??"

Chapter 9: Aaron's p.o.v ( Part 1)

Aaron's p.o.v

My name is Aaron Miller. I'm 35 years old. My parents died when I was 20. I have an older brother named Justin who is 15 years older than me. Justin is married to my Sister-in-law Stella and has a daughter named Avery who is 24 years old. They also have a daughter named Isla who is 22 years old. They adopted her when she was 10 years old.

In fact, I was the one who had brought her home. I found her, twelve years ago, on a road. She was about to collide with my car, and became unconscious in my arms due to shock. So I brought her home. She told us about her and her Orphanage, how some people want to sell them.

I can't believe people can go to this extent for money that they want to sell orphan girls who are not even adults. We decided to help her.

Since then she has been living with us as my brother's foster daughter.

She has a great bond with my family. Avery and she are inseparable. They live in Miller Mansion while I live in my own house. I come to meet them from time to time.

I am a lawyer and have a law firm. I have fought many cases in my career and never faced defeat. I don't protect criminals. I only fight for justice.

My father has started a business which is managed by my brother and my niece. From the start, I wanted to become a lawyer and had no interest in my father's business. Luckily, my family supported me and today, I am one of the best lawyers in the state.

Many high profile people want me to handle their cases. I have earned a fortune from my law firm. I have gained so much power and money which can't be compared with anyone.

To the outside world, I'm rude, arrogant, never smile and have a dominating personality but still, women are crazy for me due to my power and look. They want to marry me to become Mrs Miller and have lots of money, power and of course sex. I am known as a beast in bed among women. In the past, I had my share of one night stands.

I hate clingy women who want to marry me just for money and power, not for love.

I have a best friend named Carter Smith. He is a businessman. We knew each other from our school days.

At the present, I'm in my office studying an important case. I was engrossed in work when my phone rang.

" Hello, my dear friend", Carter said from the other side.

" What do you want??", I asked, directly. I am sure he wants me to do something which I wouldn't like to do. That's why he is buttering me.

" I am your childhood friend. At least talk nicely with me", He said, being dramatic as usual, making me roll my eyes.

" Speak", I ordered.

" Fine!! Today is my new club's opening night. You are coming with me, no arguments", He said.

" I can't. I am busy", I replied.

"I do not accept any excuses. You are coming means you are coming", He said and cut the call.

I shook my head in disbelief.

I finished my work and went home to get ready and reached his club around 7 P.M

He received me at the door and took me to the V.I.P area. This club looks like a regular club but in reality, this is a BDSM club.

From college days, both of us were interested in this lifestyle and we had visited many BDSM clubs.

This club has three floors. The first floor is the regular club while the third floor is a BDSM club.

Carter took me to his office.

" Thank you for coming", Carter said to me.

" Like you would have left me if I had refused", I said, rolling my eyes.

" True", he said, chuckling.

I asked him some basic things about business and this club.

" What are you doing, next week?"He asked me.

" Why??", I asked.

" You remembered Ronnie, our schoolmate. He is getting married. He had invited us both. You had received the invitation, right?", Carter asked.

" Yes, but I'm not going", I said.

" Why??", He asked.

" I have to attend Isla's graduation ceremony. I can't miss it", I replied, drinking whiskey.

" Okay!! I know you can't miss your Isla's  special day", he said, teasing me.

" Carter", I said, warning him.

" Come on dude!! Why don't you make a move on her? I know you have feelings for her and want to approach her then why??", He said.

" Nothing like that", I said.

" Don't lie. I know how you see her like you want to possess her", He said.

" Fine!! I indeed have feelings for her. I have seen her grow from an innocent little girl to a sexy woman who desired me as much as I desire her. But I can't make a move", I said.

" But why??", He asked.

" There are many reasons:- first the age-gap between us, second Justin, and third I don't deserve her. I don't want to corrupt her innocence. She deserves better, much better. Someone who can cherish her innocence and you know me and my anger issues", I replied, rubbing my forehead.

Before he could say anything, one of his staff members entered his office and told him about some issue on the first floor.

" I need to go to the control room", Carter said.

" I am also coming", I said. We both entered the control room.

The control room shows every corner of the club. I was observing the first floor when I noticed one woman near the bar. She was wearing masks as it was the masquerade party. I am sure she is Isla. I can never make a mistake in recognising her. I saw her going somewhere.

" What is Isla doing here?", I mumbled.

" Isla??", Carter asked.

" Yes, she is Isla", I said.

" She is wearing a mask. How can you be so sure?", He asked.

" I can never make mistakes in recognising her", I said.

" Where is she going?", He asked.

I observed her. She waited for some time outside the ladies washroom before entering the V.I.P area.

" She is entering the third floor", Carter said.

I went outside without saying anything.

I tried to find her before she saw something related to BDSM. I don't think she knows anything about BDSM.

I found her standing near the glass window along with others. I was about to move towards her so that I could bring her outside when I noticed something about her.

She was engrossed in the play. She was breathing heavily. Her eyes were filled with lust and need. She was getting turned on seeing the scene playing inside the room.

I peeked inside the room. A woman was lying on a bed. Her hands and legs were tied by handcuffs to the bed.

The man turned the woman over her stomach before entering inside her from behind while spanking her ass and pulling her hair.

He was fucking her hard and fast. Isla gasped seeing the scene. I am damn sure, her pussy is dripping. I feel myself getting turned on seeing her expressions.

I never knew my innocent girl was not that innocent.

Isla left from there and went towards the hall. I saw her observing the surroundings.

A scene starts to play on the stage. Isla was watching the scene without moving.

It was getting difficult for me to control myself. For a moment, I imagine myself on the stage and Isla as my sub, getting punishment from me for disobeying me. I groaned thinking about it.

I lost control and moved towards her. I went and stood behind her. My breath was hitting her exposed neck.

" Are you wet, Kitten?"I whispered in her ear. Her breath hitched hearing me.

I know she recognized my voice. But at this point, I don't care about anything neither the age gap nor my brother.

" Answer me, Kitten. Are you wet?? Do you imagine yourself in her place?", I asked her, before nibbling her earlobe.

I heard her moaning, feeling my lips on her ear.

" Yes",  She replied, breathing heavily.

I wrapped my arm around her waist, turned her towards me and trapped her against the wall.

I was standing close to her. She gasped seeing my face.

My chest was slightly touching her breasts.

I can see the lust in her eyes for me.

" A good girl like you shouldn't have come here. This place is not for an innocent girl like you", I  whispered in her ear, making her shiver.

She opened her mouth to reply. Before she could say anything, I closed her mouth with my mouth. I groaned, feeling her soft lips.

I pulled her towards my chest through her waist. I was moving my lips against her, kissing her madly.

I smirked, feeling her lips moving against mine.

I  squeezed her ass and put my tongue inside her mouth. Our tongues fought for dominance which I won.

" Breath kitten!!", I  said, chuckling.

" You haven't answered me, Kitten. What are you doing here?? Did you lose your way?", I asked, kissing her neck, biting it slightly.

She moved her head to give me more space.

I  continued kissing her neck.

Her cell phone was ringing continuously.

She slightly pushed me and ran from there. I didn't try to stop her.

I saw her leaving the club with her friends before I left for my home. I slept thinking about her and the kiss.
