Soren House
The apartment was filled with rows of roses and many expensive gifts all from Davian. Naya was excitedly unraveling her gifts without reserve, her eyes filled with happiness. Naya stared at her future brother-in-law with an adoring gaze.
Davian was wearing a tailed made suit with a black overall coat. He was very tall man with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. He has sharp, distinct facial features and carried a distinguish bearing that set him above others. No matter which angle she looked at him. Naya felt that he was graceful and pleasing to the eyes. Her sister really hit the jackpot this time.
''Brother-in-law treats me so well'' she fawned.
Nalani felt ashamed on her behalf. This girl is really something else.
''As long as you like it, I'll get you anything you want.'' Davian said. ''Really?'' Naya's eyes lit up with joy. Davian nodded. To him, this little things don't need any effort.
''No, don't promise her anything. You're spoiling her too much'' Nalani hurriedly rejected. Davian smiled, not saying anything. He walked over to Mrs. Soren who was sitting in her specialized wheelchair.
He got down on his knees in front of her and gently took her immobilized hand into his own. ''Ma, it's been a while I've seen you. This time l came here to ask for Nala's hand in marriage. I would be the happiest man in the world to have Nala as my wife. We can all live together as one happy family.''he spoke, smiling gently with reassurance. His eyes filled with care. It was this gentleness and thoughtful side of his that made Nalani to fall in love with him.
Hearing his words, Naya and Nalani both felt very happy and excited. However, Mrs. Soren's eyes started to twitch uncontrollably, blinking and signaling with her eyes, seemingly anxious and frightened about something but be it by coincidence or deliberation, Davian stood at a spot that conveniently blocked the two sisters views from seeing their mother's distress signal.
''Congratulation Nala. You're going to marry Prince Charming at last. Just like Cinderella'' Naya teased.
Davian smirked, watching Nalani's face blushing, looking back at him with a shy smile. She was born with a pair of charming and affectionate eyes, and when she looked at you with that soft, shy gaze, you'll feel like you're drowning in the pool of desires. Davian suppressed the restlessness in his heart, his gaze burning with desire.
Naya felt tensed atmosphere and she thoughtfully decided to give the lovebirds a moment of privacy. She went to push her mother, taking her out for a stroll. ''You guys can talk for a while. I'm taking Ma out for a walk. '' she said.
With the two finally alone, Davian didn't waste time holding his woman in his arms, staring straight her straight in the eyes. He leaned in for a kiss, his kiss was fierce and domineering giving Nalani no chance of escape but to accept his conquest.
Lying down in each other's arms and breathing heavily, Davian hugged Nalani tightly, kissing her hair. After a long while of silence,Nalani suddenly turned over, half leaning on Davian's chest, drawing circles on it.
She looked at him intently and said,"Tell me about your family and where they are? What are they like? Do you think they'll like me?" Her eyes stared expectantly into his eyes. Since they started dating, he has never discussed his family with her. Davian smile disappeared, averted his gaze and said nothing. Nalani lowered her eyes in disappointment.
There was a feeling that she couldn't shake off for a long time but she hides it deep away. It always feels like there was this great wall between them despite their deep love and no matter how well she thinks she knows this man, it still feels as though she still doesn't know him enough. This peculiar feeling often make her feel inexplicably frightened.
There was only silence between them with no one saying anything. Davian sighed deeply, caressing Nalani's lush hair. He pressed her head to lay on his chest. Nalani docilely laid on her lover's chest, feeling comfort in his strong heartbeats.
"I have a big family" Davian opened his mouth to talk. "My grandfather is old and in seclusion. I have a mother and a younger sister. There are many others in my family. But in this world, only you are the most important of them all. I only want you" Davian confessed.
"What about your father. Is he there too?" Nalani asked. Davian heard her but chose not to reply. Instead he kissed her forehead.
"Come with me to somewhere else",he said. Nalani raised her head to look at him with a puzzled look,"Where are we going?".she asked.
"Do you trust me?"
Nalani stared at him fixatedly and nodded firmly. Davian smiled, stood up and helped her up too. He helped her fix her messed up clothes causing Nalani cheeks to turn cherry red. Holding her hand firmly in his own, he looked at her with much love and said,"Let's go".
Nalani nodded and together they left together. Davian drove away into the night with Nalani leaning towards him and asking continuously where he was taking her but he remained tight lipped.
By the time, they got to their destination, it was already dark and Nalani had fallen asleep out of exhaustion. Davian gazed obsessively at the woman sleeping peacefully with a gentle smile and couldn't help trace her delicate facial features with his finger, memorizing each piece to memory and engraving it deep in his heart. He got out of the car and gently carried Nalani out in his arms.
He walked to the pier with Nalani in his arms. His personal assistant Aaron was waiting for him with a group of men in black.
A yacht was reserve for him. "Welcome aboard Boss" Aaron greeted.
"Is everything ready? " Davian asked, his expression cold and distant. Aaron nodded. Davian got into the yacht with Nalani.
