CHAPTER 12:
"Wait..." Yuvan cut her shot. "I can help you marry someone you like then."
"Do I have one?" Nova asked. How could she not remember her heartbreak few weeks ago? "I don't want to marry anyone."
"Fine!" Yuvan shrunk and kept quiet. Nova didn't say anything. She turned around, took off her clothes and slowly slid into the blanket.
Although she didn't sleep well the remaining five hours of the night, she still felt comfortable knowing she was safe here.
Morning...
Nova slowly lifted her face the moment the first light kissed the surface. Yuvan was first asleep and his shirt which he had hung up to dry was already dry. He has made the order for his clothes but when Leo arrived, he was fast asleep. He therefore chose not to disturb him.
Nova's dress was still wet. She carefully pulled the dry shirt and put it on. She then tiptoed to the bathroom and slid into the bathtub.
She stayed there for so long, thinking about her life, her little fame at school, her family. She didn't notice her body being pale and start trembling. When she stood up, she suddenly felt so dizzy that she fell back, losing consciousness immediately.
Yuvan had sensed someone walk around the room. Knowing Nova was here, he didn't bother to open his eyes. But suddenly he heard a splash in the bathroom. He jumped up and listened, but no sound followed for few minutes. He forced open the door of the bathroom and his eyes almost popped out.
This girl! She wants to die in my hands today really!
Yuvan pulled her out of the water and realised she has lot consciousness. He carried her in his strong arms and walked out. She was in his shirt but that didn't bother him much. He hurried out of the room and commanded Leo to drive towards the hospital.
"Boss, what happened?" Leo could not help asking.
"Will you just stop asking questions and concentrate on driving?" Yuvan shot his dark eyes at Leo. Leo immediately shut up and concentrated.
Nova was rushed into the emergency room and Yuvan stood out waiting. Not long, his phone vibrates in his pocket. He pulled it out and his face became gloomy.
"Dad... I have some important things am dealing with right now. Will you do me a favour and stop calling?" he said immediately he received the call.
"Son, I need you home now! No room for bargaining!" Mr. Ranvier gave the order and cut off the receiver.
"This!" Yuvan's mood changed badly that he seemed to freeze the air around him. Leo subconsciously backed away creating distance between them.
The doctor came over to him. "Mister, there is no need to raise alarm. She's fine. Probably she passed out from exhaustion plus she hasn't taken anything. But she is perfectly in shape!"
Only then did Yuvan sigh and wanted to walk out. He remembered he still had her phone. He typed something, then gave the doctor the phone and left cursing the day he met Nova.
So she truly dared raise alarm for nothing? Did she try to commit suicide yesterday or was it just some negative body reactions?
He walked into the large family mansion with a calm face. His elegant and perfect figure walked towards Mr. Ranvier. Although he was in casual dressing, his aura was strange. Mr. Ranvier couldn't help but wonder how his son managed to be this terrifying, calm and handsome at the same time.
"Son, I thought you won't come. Now, I want you to meet someone." Mr. Ranvier said. Yuvan followed his father upstairs and there sat a lady beautiful, tall and calm looking. She obviously was from a rich family.
"Audrey Peters. Nice meeting you young master Ranvier." Audrey peters stood up, exposing her well curved hips and her perfect chest at Yuvan.
"What do I owe this introduction?" Yuvan looked at his dad, then at Audrey.
"The peters family isn't a lowly one. Besides, they chose to take the risk and have their daughter marry over this family. You know well if the world knows, she'll be the next target. You will have her, and after she delivers a heir, that's the end of it. It's ok if you don't love her, this is just a matter of procreation. The Ranvier family must continue." Mr. Ranvier said to his son.
Yuvan looked at Audrey Peters for a long while making her feel extremely uncomfortably. She wasn't bad at all, she was perfect and it was evident her background wasn't simple. Fine, can I give it a try?
"I don't have feelings for her so, no. I turn down that request!" he said.
Mr. Ranvier laughed out loud and looked up at his tall son. He then requested Audrey to move out and leave the two of them.
"Yuvan, you talk about feelings like you have any!" Mr. Ranvier said seriously.
"Dad, I'll only be with however I like, not just anyone!" he sunk into the sofa and rolled his eyes to his father.
"You can't have feelings. You're a fucking cyborg son! Do you really still believe in miracles? You can't have feelings!" Mr. Ranvier pulled at Yuvan's hand slightly.
"Then... Why do I have to be with anyone in the first place?" Yuvan glared at his father. "Fine, if she can stay here or go back to her family. I'll look for her myself!"
"You!" Mr. Ranvier became angry at his own son.
But what Yuvan did next scared even his father. He stood up abruptly and his dark eyes suddenly shone with a sky blue light. He took few steps towards him, but stopped. "I know I'll change, I can't just be blind man for you to be commanding me always. Now, it will be as I say!"
He weighed his hand above his father's head, then directly crushed the table nearby. He was good at controlling his heavy weight.
... In the hospital...
Nova opened her eyes after half an hour and sat up. She saw her phone nearby. She grabbed it and wanted to dial her mother's number but realised instead someone send a message to her mother.
