BIANCA’S POV:
We sat there having our drinks and looking around, with an awkward silence in the air. Finally, he broke the silence: “I think we should get some things clear between us before we get married.” Of course, I saw this coming. After all, he is ALEXANDER PETROV, who is forced to marry me. I knew there would be certain conditions to this marriage. I can’t expect him to be excited about marrying a girl like me.
The time I took thinking about this, he just kept staring at me like he was searching for something. It seemed like he did want to know what I was thinking but no I think I have been reading him wrong, he cant be a guy like that so I just replied with, “yeah I saw that coming, tell me abt it” He looked quite surprised and the best part he didn’t hide his emotions I don’t know why though. “We both will be living at my mansion, you will have your freedom, we will have to share the same bedroom, and we will have to act like a couple in front of my cook, Mrs. Ober, she has been loyal to my family for the past 20 years. I know that just like me, you are also being forced for this, so I know it's already hard for you. I don’t wish to make it worse. After all, I'm the one who has to live with u. Hence, if I trouble u i'd be troubling myself indirectly” he spoke this all with the coldest expression possible and his eyes were so at ease as if he had thought abt all this before coming here and was damn confident about my reaction towards them. Now I know what made him one of the finest. “I don’t have any problem with your rules, but I’d like to add one. When you are married to me, though we don’t love each other, I don’t want you to go to someone else. We are going to be married, and I expect complete loyalty, and I promise to be loyal myself. “Cheating isn’t my thing, whether it's business or my personal life, anything else?”, “No, nothing more, but if I think of something, I'll let you know.” He just nodded, taking a sip of his whiskey.
As the party was about to end, Alexander left. Before my father would get to me, I rushed into my room, changing into comfy clothes, then taking off the makeup, and went to sleep peacefully after days. Ig Alexander isn’t the monster I thought him to be.
ALEXANDER’S POV:
It's Bianca’s younger brother’s birthday party. I wasn’t interested in coming here, but my father didn’t care and told me to come here to talk with my to-be wife. So here I’m standing, beside Mr. Rossi, waiting for Bianca. As he called her, I found her standing there. She is surely an attractive woman. She started coming towards me with minimal makeup on her face, enhancing her natural beauty with a blank expression, but I would have preferred a smile. I was surprised by my thoughts; this is very rare that I find a woman attractive, but I guess this is, after all, a rare moment. After Mr. Rossi left me and Bianca alone, she led me towards the bar and we started having our drinks. I was the one to initiate a conversation, and surprisingly, it went pretty well. To be honest, I thought she'd whine like other girls, but she didn’t and proposed a rule herself. I must say that this woman is a rare one. I took her rule like her possessiveness towards her husband, I somehow liked it, but how can I? I was forced into this myself. After listening to her condition, when I thought about her being with some other man, I felt an uneasy feeling in my chest. I don't know what’s happening to me. I have started to have a headache now that I think about all this. We chatted for a while, and then I came home, asked my PA for Bianca’s information to get to know about her before marrying her.
