《The Unexpected Fairytale》His parents~

A permanent grin plastered on my face, my bike finally arrived along with my car. And I'm going to ride it today to company, since I'm driving I had to settle for casual ripped Jean's along with leather jacket.
Tomorrow went pretty much boring..but Xavier seemed bothered and guess what I did?
I ignored him. He deserved that for storming out without explaining. Hopefully today will be eventful then yesterday...
Once I was satisfied with my look I glanced at the wall clock and it was showing 8:40 am, I smirked. Guess who has a bike now. I hurriedly sprinted downstairs to see Noah doing push ups, ignoring him I grabbed my helmet and bag, going to front door I heard Noah's yelling,
"Remember the speed limit?!?! Otherwise you'll get pulled up!"
Ignoring his protest I went to the parking where both my car and Ducati were waiting, I slowly traced my Ducati and put my helmet on, I made myself comfortable on her.
igniting I smirked, before speeding to my company, it's like in a whole month i was able to get life inside my soul, all the wind rushing through my hairs and skin felt rejuvenating, I sighed in contentment as I speeded through the roads, thank God there wasn't any traffic.
At correct 8:50 am I was infront of my company, I smirked Contentedly looking at my life before parking it, removing my helmet and entering the company beaming happily,
Speeding is something that gives me thrill, makes me happy.
"Very good morning Ann "I beamed at her. She stared at me amused
"Good..morning.....Shana. What got you in such a good mood?"
"something. Alright I'll go now" I waved at her before getting into the elevator, just as it was about to close, a hand stopped it, I glanced up to see none other than Xavier, I smiled at him and greeted beaming,
"Good morning Xavier "
He stared at me all flabbergasted, before slowly acknowledging my greeting,
"Good....morning Shana. Why are you so happy?"
"Well. I'm in good mood today Mr. King."
He smiled at me, not just any small smirk type smile but a genuine one, just his smile cause my heart to beat frantically, my breathing heaved as I stared in those brown eyes, his golden tinges very much visible, he's wearing navy blue blazer with a white shirt inside that have first two buttons open which is very much showing his chest.
"You like what you see Ms. Rajput." His voice pulled me out of my trance, I tried hard not to blush and coughed to reply as i saw him smirking.
"Nah. I've seen better." I said, very proud on myself for not stuttering and sounding strong. I glanced at him to see any type of falter in his smirk but none. Nada. He's so full of himself.
"Now that isn't true Ms. Rajput. Is it? " he said as he took two predatory steps towards me, my breath hitched in my throat as million scenes started going through my mind, my back hit the elevator wall as I cursed inside for this damn thing to arrive fast.
Things are getting heated baby!! My inner self whistled.
His one hand resting on side of my face as leaned down very much evading my personal space, I backed more into the wall as I stared into those eyes mesmerized, he slowly trailed his fingers on my cheek before slowly moving them towards nape of my neck, a shiver went through my spine as goosebumps erupted on my whole body

He smirked absolutely satisfied with his effect on me. My body isn't reacting the way I want it to, my whole body is burning for his touch as my breaths are coming out in pants, my brain is conflicted whether to advance or retard, he pressed his body against my as I small gasp escaped my mouth, he leaned his face further towards mine..
His hot breath tickling and teasing my lips, my brain is complete shut off to think anything rational, I parted my lips slightly as my eyes stared at his lips, looking all divine and delicious, God I just want to taste them, slowly his hand resting on my nape trailed back to my lips as he slightly touched my lower lip with his finger,
"have you seen better Shana?" He said huskily.
My brain registering nothing.
"Huh?" I replied breathless still waiting for his lips to move closer,
"Say No Shana."
"No." I replied slightly moving closer to him, he smirked at me before retrieving at once.
"That's good to know Ms. Rajput." He said smirking at me just as the elevator dinged showing we've arrived. I stood there breathless and shocked at the audacity of this handsome man, my whole body is burning with desire.
"After you Ms. Rajput " he said gesturing for me to exit first, this bastard can't even give me time to compose myself.
I exited my knees slightly buckling and legs trembling as I struggled to get my composure back, Xavier behind me on trail.
"Want some help there Shana?" He asked and I could very much sense him smirking through his voice right now. Ignoring him I continued walking towards our offices, Catherine stood there smiling as she greeted him,
"Good morning Mr. King. " he nodded in return.
On seeing my walking style, she asked worriedly,
"Are you okay?"
"I'm-I'm fine." I coughed to get my voice stable and sprinted inside my office leaving them behind and collapsed on my chair before exhaling heavily. Drinking water to get my throat back on work, after 2 minutes I was finally able to get my composure back. He is such a jerk. Why would he start something he won't finish. Idiot.
Huffing I grabbed my notepad and files before going to his office, I knocked twice before entering,
He looked up only to taunt me,
"Oh you're composed now. That's great news, I thought I would've to satisfy your needs to compose you." He said smirking.
I stared at him shocked, my mouth wide open, my face flushed, he didn't just go there, is he trying to get me stressed? What the hell is with all this teasing?
Coughing for the hundredth time today, I receited his schedule for today but I don't think he listened to any of my words, he's absolutely different today, on any other day he would've gave his whole attention to his work but today it is on me, he is staring at me intensely and it is taking everything in me from collapsing.
"You're looking sexy in that outfit Ms. Rajput." He said suddenly shocking me for the millionth time today.
I chocked on air as I coughed again,
"Excuse me." I said before going to his side and touching his forehead softly with back of my hand,
"Your temperature is normal Xavier, did you hit your head somewhere?" I asked genuinely concerned about his whole 360 behavior change.
He grabbed my hand softly as I stared into his eyes,
"I'm more than fine Shana. Don't be worried. "

"Well if you're fine, then get your f*cking brain to start working, I know I'm sexy, you don't need to say it every five second." I said cockily before going back to my previous place.
"So you have a meeting with Anastasia today at 10 since you decided to dump the first one for God knows what reason, then you have to through monthly accounting papers of the company and them you have lunch with Mr. Collins."
"Wait. Mr. Collins as in Aiden Collins?"
"Yes. Do you want me to cancel it?"
"Yes. Don't let him come inside. At any cost." He said horrified, Xavier King is afraid of someone, guess I've to meet this Aiden Collins.
"Okay, you're leaving at 4 today?" I asked after looking at his schedule.
"Yes." He replied not giving any reason.
"Okay." I said nodding while staring at him.
"So...do you need anything else?"
He smirked.
"Why Ms. Rajput, are you offering?"
"That's it. I'm going. " I said as I literally sprinted out to his office but not before hearing a deep chuckle.
Day went by pretty much same, with me running here and there to complete tasks and Xavier flirting every five seconds with me. Gosh! Why he have to be so annoying?
I'm not complaining though.
Ugh! His emails are just piling up, it's like every other company wants to collaborate with him.
Office landline buzzed for the millionth time, sighing frustratingly I picked it up and answered in a sugar coated voice,
"It's King inc., I'm Shana Rajput, personal assistant to Mr. King, how may I help you?"
"Can you forward the call to Xavier, he's not answering his phone." A female annoyed voice came through.
"Sorry miss, but may I know who you are?"
"Listen here b*tch! I'm not in mood of any argument so I suggest you to forward the f*cking call damnit!" She snarled through the phone as I pulled it away from my ears.
This b*tch has audacity to curse at me, what a nasty women. I scrunched my nose in disgust.
"Listen Miss, Mr. King is busy at the moment so I can't forward your call. " Remember Shana this is one of the disadvantages of your job, being polite.
"You really don't know who I'm? I'm f*cking Angelina Ruth, Xavier's girlfriend!! So I suggest you to forward the call or I won't hesitate to fire you now!" she yelled in a high pitched tone, which I suppose was to scare the hell out of me, guess she failed.
"Give me one second Miss Anastasia Puth." I said and as expected she started screaming about her name being incorrect, b*tch I know it was wrong, it was intentional you idiot.
I intercomed Xavier as I put his wh*re on hang,
"Missing me already?". I don't know but the idea of him having a girlfriend hurts my heart as a wave of jealousy went through me. Ignoring my emotions I asked him.
"Your girlfriend is asking for her call to be forwarded, do you want me to?"
"My girlfriend?"
"Angelina Ruth, she wants to talk to you. "I heard faint curses in the background.
"Forward her."he said as his line went dead, my throat constricted painfully, he didn't deny it.
"Miss Angelina, Mr. King will talk to you now." I forwarded the call silently.
Why do I care? He can date anyone who he want, just focus on your work Shana.
I emerged myself in work again but within 10 minutes Catherine called and said that she needed help with some documents, so as a good friend, grabbing my notes I glanced at my watch which was showing 12, which means there will be lunch break shortly after, on the mention of food, my mood became somewhat good, smiling I exited my office and then everything happened in slow motion.
I bumped into someone's chest hard as my hands desperately searched for something to grab in air which resulted in all the documents in my hand fly over, the man infront of me lost his balance as well but was somewhat stable than me.
So I did the first thing that came into my mind to prevent myself from falling, I grabbed his tie, BAD MOVE. He lost his balance again, he moved his one hand under my head and i closed my eyes very ready to b crashed on the hard floor,
When I didn't touched the ground I slowly opened my eyes, I saw a very handsome man will brunette hair that were screaming that I woke in this sexy pattern, his eyes were light green with mixture of blue in them and he had pale skin that really complemented his eyes, he slowly grinned at me.
To say we were in an awkward position will be an understatement, I was at an angle of 30° from the ground with his one hand under my head to prevent me from getting injured, his other hand was preventing both of us from collapsing and he was in upper position of a push up, overall it was the weirdest position. But he seemed unaffected,
"You must be Shana Rajput! Right?" He beamed.
I grinned back at him, his smile is contagious and his playful demeanor was something we don't see here every day,
"Do I know you?" I asked confusedly but grinning.
"Shana! Aiden!" Someone shouted our names as we tilted our ahead to see a very horrified Xavier standing there looking confused, he hurriedly sprinted towards us and entangled me from under Aiden and pushed me behind his back, before glaring at Aiden who seemed unaffected and smirked in return,
"I guess we haven't been introduced properly..I'm Aiden Collins CEO of Collins enterprises and best friend of this idiot right here." He said to me while gesturing toward Xavier.
I grinned back at him before standing beside Xavier,
"So you're the infamous Aiden Collins whom Mr. King is terrified, well nice to meet you Aiden and about your previous question, yes I'm Shana Rajput."
Xavier thought that this would be the nice time to interrupt us,
"Who said I was terrified of him? What the f*ck are you doing here? I thought I cancelled the lunch with you? And What happened here? Why you two were clinging to each other?"
Aiden ignored him totally, like boycotted him, and said,
"You're very beautiful Shana"
"Thanks, you're very handsome too Aiden" I said blushing slightly.
"What? You address him informally and me formally?" Xavier sulked.
"Well Mr. King you're my boss, and Aiden right here isn't. Right Aiden?"
"Touché" Aiden replied grinning devilishly.
"Okay that's enough, you wanted to have lunch with me right? Let's have lunch." Xavier said before dragging Aiden with him into his office.
Aiden yelled while winking "I'll see you later Shana."
Shaking my head at both of them I headed to Catherine's office after collecting my documents from the floor, there bickering remind me of myself and Diya, God I miss her! Maybe I'll call her later tonight.
Currently it's 5PM in the evening and only me and Catherine are present on this floor of the company, Xavier already departed for the day, why did he went early? Is he meeting his so called girlfriend? Maybe they are busy sucking each other faces.. I scoffed, perfect match made in heaven, she is a b*tch and he is a bastard.
Ignoring the feeling, I carried on with my work, occasionally snickering and huffing,
"Okay that's enough, tell me what's wrong?" Catherine said snatching the file from my hands.
"What? Nothing's wrong. " I tried to take the file back but couldn't.
"That won't work on m—" she got cut off by another female voice, we both turned and saw Noelle.
"Hey...I'm sorry if I'm disturbing. " she said.
"Noelle, what are you doing here?"
Catherine stared between us in confusion. Oh right, she doesn't know her.
"Noelle this is Catherine, secretary to Mr. King and Catherine she is incharge of New King inc. In Mr. King's absence. " I introduced them.
"Hey Catherine, nice to meet you." She said smiling while expanding her hand for a handshake.
"Same here. Nice to meet you. So what's bring you here?" Catherine rearranged my question again.
"Yeah about that Shana.....I know we didn't started nicely, but I would really like to start afresh." She said humbly, her eyes showing pureness.
Great. Now I feel like a b*tch. I misunderstood her, I always do mistakes when it comes to Xavier, what's happening to me?
Not wanting to hold any past grudges. I grabbed the opportunity to make things right."
"I'm so sorry Noelle, I was a b*tch the other day, I would really.... like to start afresh." I said politely.
Her eyes twinkled and she sighed with relief,
"So friends?"
"Yes absolutely. "
"Thanks you so much Shana............now the reason I came here was to hand over the files that Mr. King asked the other day."she said showing me the files.
I remembered Xavier telling her to prepare these on Wednesday which is today. But....
"But Noelle Mr. King isn't here, he went home for the day." I said hesitantly.
"Oh..but these documents are really important, I can't hand them tomorrow, what do I do now?" Noelle asked confusedly .
"Oh don't worry, I have his address, Shana can drop these on her way back right?" Catherine chimed in, she typed away on her phone, soon my phone dinged showing notification, she messaged me his address.
Great! Just great!
"Catherine I can't go."
"Yes you can. Please Shana I'm going on a date with David. Pretty please." She consistently begged.
"Ok fine." I said as she squealed in response.
"Thanks Shana, you are a lifesaver. " Noelle said before handing me the files which I safely put in my bag.
Going to the parking I ignited my Ducati and head off to address Catherine gave me, speeding I shortly came infront of large iron gates, two security guards stopped me from entering but I showed them my company I.D. and told them that I'm personal assistant to Mr. King, they called someone before letting me inside, I drove to the front of the house before parking my bike and getting off, I dropped my helmet on the bike and knocked on the huge gates.
A young girl in uniform opened the door, I smiled at her which she returned, I told her that I was here to meet Mr. King and she asked me to come inside.
And let me tell you it was awesome, huge chandelier decorating the entrance with a grand staircase which was huge, my mouth gaped open in instinct and I ogled shamelessly, what in the world!? I continued to take in every decoration when I heard footsteps coming downstairs from the staircase. I looked up to see a man not looking a day more than 40, when he was finally at the foot, I saw same facial structure except his blue eyes, he has the exact same aura as Xavier, so this is Robert king.
And behind him I saw a petite woman with brunette hair and same eyes as Xavier, but with much more intensity in her golden tinges showing how much she has experienced till now, definitely good Genes.
"What happened sweetie? You asked to meet me." Mr. King asked politely smiling.
"Good evening Mr. King and Mrs. King. " I greeted and suppressing the urge to curtsy. What! They are the richest family! Isn't that make them royally of f*ck!
"Oh sweetheart no need to be so formal, just call me Marrisa, Mrs. King makes me feel old." I smiled in return.
Are you kidding this woman has less wrinkles than me!
I chuckled awkwardly. My introvert side literally trying to sue me.
"Actually.......Mr. king, I'm here for Xavier, I think there was some misunderstanding at the gates. Sorry for the inconvenience sir." I said already trying to get the hell out of here.
