Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Later that night ,

Luke had gone to see how Eris was doing . The maids were not in the room then . '' Hey , are you awake ? '' asks Luke . She didn't answer so he thought that she was asleep . Luke sits by her bed . '' Grandma is coming tomorrow , i hope she can accept you ; or else i don't know what to do anymore , i want to keep you here cause you belong to me but Ntasha is telling me that grandma wants me to marry you , hey tell me what should i do ? Grandma is all I have left in my family now. I have always listened to her but now if she tells me to leave you , i ...... I can't accept that you belong to me until you pay me. You can't leave this place which is impossible for you to do at this moment so you will stay here no matter what happens '' he says cupping her face in his hand .

''' Take rest '' he says '' goodnight '' . KIsses her forehead before leaving . But all these while Eris was awake and could eat everything that he was telling her . '' That arrogant possessive guy treats me like an object or something. I will pay back his money and leave this place and become happy along with my family '' she mutters . '' You can stay in your castle forever along with your queen , get married and be happy. You don't need to go against your grandma just because of me. I will leave this is the final goodbye you have said to me '' she says .

In the morning ,

Ntasha has come and goes straight to Eris's room . '' May i come ? '' she asks before entering . '' Yes '' Eris replies , she was getting ready to leave . ''' Already I guess ? '' Natasha comments . '' Yes , i accept your proposal , hand me over the money i will leave immediately '' Eris says . '' No need to rush Luke hasn't woken up yet , here you go this check has all the amount that Luke had given you hand it over to him and leave you can start working in our office from today and i have gotten a perfect partner for you who also works in our company , he will teach you everything about the job '' Natasha says . '' Thank you very much ma'am i am sorry about the rude behaviour i have done with you all these while please try to forget about it all '' says Eris bowing her head .

'' Its alright enjoy the freedom that i had given you '' says Natasha '' i hope you will be happily married ever after '' . '' I..... ... i will '' Eris replies . She was trying her hardest to smile . '' No go this is the opportunity your new today starts from this moment '' Natasha says . Eris heads out with the check in her hand .

She goes to Luke's room and opens the room . She writes a letter to him about why she's leaving and all putting the check beside his bed . '' Goodbye stay happy without me cause i don't belong to you at all '' she says and leaves after looking at the sight of him sleeping so peacefully . She kisses his forehead and leaves .

Seeing her walking out of the house Sasa asks ;''' where are you going so early in the morning ? Do you have any permission to leave ? '' . '' Yes I do . I have handed over the check which has all the amount that i had taken from Luke nowi have repaid him all the money i can leave now , tell him to check it after waking up thank you for all the love and care you have given me when i came in this house i can't ever forget about you all give my regards to all the maids goodbye i won 't make any trouble for you guys from now on '' Eris says , she was trying her hardest not to cry in front of Sasa .

'' But you can't leave without the permission of Luke '' says Sasa . '' Just let her go already. She said she has paid all the money to let her go , i am telling you '' says Natasha coming down the stairs . '' BUt miss ,'' Sasa asserts . '' No but it's my order to go ERis where you want to go , I will handle everything around here '' Ntasha says . '' Thank you '' Eris says and leaves .

While walking out of the gate she was remembering about the time when she was brought to this house ,'' it has been a short timespan but she could never forget the time she was brought into this house . '' Goodbye you arrogant billionaire , goodbye this castle which was never for me , goodbye '' she says in her heart .

Inside the mansion , '' Was that really the right thing to do to let her walk out like that ? '' Sasa asks . ';'' It is because like this their relationship would never progress , i just want them to realise their feelings for each other soon when they realise how much they love each other they both will go back or else Luke will have to marry me and stay happy '' Natasha says . '' Why do you have to put them in this trial ? Will they succeed ? ''' Sasa asks . '' They have to if they want to stay together '' Natasha replies .

Eris walks and heads towards her house . She takes the taxi with the money that Natasha has given her . '' She's quite a generous woman '' she thought . Eventually she reached her house . Arriving in front of the gate she thought '' how will i react if they see me , or how will they react ? '' .

Without thinking she presses the door bell . Someone opened the door , it was her brother Sam . '' Who is that early in the morning ? '' he grunts and opens the door . '' Is that you sis ? '' he asks, being astonished . '' Yes it's me did you miss me ?'' Eris asks, approaching her .

'' Yes , I did say '' Sam hugged onto her , they both were of the same height one year younger to each other . '' Where did you go ? i was looking for you when i came from the hostel and mom and dad were all silent when i asked about you i was so worried '' she says .

'' I can understand how much you missed me but i can't breathe let me go '' Eris complains . '' Oh my bad come inside ''' Sam says . Her Mom and Dad both had woken up by them . They all were sitting in the drawing room . All silent . '' Do you want to give an explanation about the time when your dad was having the surgery ? '' her mom asks .

'' I can explain everything , '' Eris says then she tells everything all the things that have happened . After listening to everything her mom says , '' you should have told us that you couldn't arrange the money , then you wouldn't have to suffer so much '' .

'' It's alright now I have a job. I can support you guys and also pay Sam's hostel fees. Now everything is back to normal. I can start working from today '' Eris says to her mom . '' You can take some rest for now says her dad '. '' It's alright you take rest dad i will leave after having breakfast '' says Eris .

'' I will prepare breakfast then '' says her mom . '' I will stay here instead of hostel then I can keep you guys safe '' says Sam . '' Silly boy will you be able to stay here with us ?'' her dad asks . '' I will cause my family to love me, '' Sam says . All started laughing hearing that .

At this time in the Fernandez mansion ,

Luke had woken up hearing the news that Eris had left he became furious . '' Why did you let her get away ? '' he asked Sasa . '' Cause she said she had paid a;ll the amount she had taken from you so i had to let her go '' Sasa replies . '' Still you could've told me '' Luke barks .

''What's all that noise about huh ? '' says a voice coming in . '' Grandma '' Luke remarks . '' Why are you people all yelling early in the morning huh ? my son =what happened ? ''' she asks . '' Let me tell you granny '' Natasha says coming in . '' What's all the trouble about ? ''' asks granny . '' Luke had brought a girl and she had paid him all the money she owns from him and left so Luke is angry about it '' Natasha remarks . '' All that shouting just for one girl , who's she ? ''' granny asks .

'' She's just one plain ordinary who doesn't have any manners '' Natasha says . '' I see , why waste your breath for someone like that huh ? '' granny sighs . '' BUt granny '' Luke insists . '' Why bother about someone like that giving me something to drink you the maid over there '' granny says . '' Right away ma'am '' the maid says rushing to the kitchen .

'' Sit down beside me dear '' granny says to Natasha . '' You too Luke '' . '' Sit down '' she again repeats . Luke had to comply with her request , '' Aren't you all happy to see me ? '' granny asks . '' I am but Eris ''' says Luke . '' I don't want to hear this name in my house you hear that ?''' granny says . '' That girl isn't suited for Luke at all she has a foolish mouth '' says Natasha .

'' I can understand , the reason I came here today is to talk about your marriage with Natasha ''' her granny remarks . Luke gets up . '' I can't marry her. I love only Eris no one else '' he says . '' No one i will have her back i will '' says Luke he takes his coat and dashes out of the house . '' Luke stop listening to me '' his granny calls from behind . But no one could stop Luke from going there; not even god can stop him from going to Eris . He takes the car and leaves . '' She must have gone to her parents' family. I know Eris, why did you leave ? '' That thought was the only thing that was on his mind .

'' He has become quite unreasonable because of that girl '' granny sighs . '' We need to hurry up and get this marriage done or else he will get out of hand. The sales have dropped for his industry because of that girl , because Luke can't concentrate on his work and thinks about that girl all day '' Natasha comments .

'' I see , we need to see that matter done hurriedly within this month '' says granny . '' Sorry to be rude but please don't make your decisions without a master please i beg you '' Sasa remarks . '' Shut up, I know what;'s best for my grandson , I am his guardian so i want his best you don't need to say anything to me, ''' snapped granny . '' Butt out of this Sasa '' Natasha snarled .

SASA leaves that place immediately .

Meanwhile LUKE had arrived at the William household . He rings the bell . Sam comes to open the door . '' Who is it ? ;'' he says before opening the door . He was surprised to see the man before his eyes . '' Who are you ? he asks Sam . '' I am Sam '' he replies . '' Do you know Eris ? '' Luke asks . '' YES I know she's my sister why ? '' Sam asks . '' Let me through '' Luke says and enters the house forcefully .

'' Eris '' he calls . Eris was in her room getting ready . Luke meets her dad . '' Where is Eris ? '' he asks . '' Who are you? What are you doing here ? '' he asks . '' What's wrong ? Who's this boy ? '' asks her mom coming out of the kitchen .

Luke was looking around the house as if searching for his prey to hunt down . He notices the room in the right wing of the apartment . Eris forgot to close her door . Luke comes barging in and closes the door behind him . Eris looks behind her and notices Luke .

'' Am i hallucinating ? who's this ? Luke ? '' she says and rubs her eyes . ''Hey hey this seems like the actual person , this is not true right ? '' she murmurs . '' It is true I am here '' he says approaching her . '' What how ? why ? no this can't be true '' Eris takes some steps back . '' Did you think you would get away from me ? '' Luke says, taking some more steps towards her . Eris was pinned to the wall like that . Luke places his hand beside her and one hand on her waist .

'' I won't let you get away from me so easily '' he whispers . '' Let me go '' she protests . '' Why are you behaving as if we don't know each other? Have you seen you naked ?> ;'' he smirks . '' I can easily take your clothes off '' he says unbuttoning her shirt . '' Please stop leaving me alone. I had paid you right ?Then leave me alone '' says Eris .

'' I don't want money , I want you '' he shouts . '' You can't have me cause i ..... '' she protests . He takes his face onto his hands . '' I am the only one who can have you '' he says kissing her roughly . Tongues fighting each other for dominance . Luke was hugging her closely . Placing one leg between her legs he kisses her deeply .

Eris couldn't control herself any longer. She was trying her best not to show her feelings; she cried out tears falling down her face . Luke noticed it . He parted his lips away from her . '' Why are you crying ? '' he asks . '''Cause i hate you and you are trying to force your feelings onto me '' she replies . '' Don;'t you like me ?'' he asks . '' No i don't ... listen carefully i hate .... you ..'' she shouts .

He gets away from her . '' No that's not possible ... no way '' he murmurs to himself then rushes out of the room . Her mom and others were shocked to see that . Her brother comes and asks '' who's that man ? '' . '' He ... he's the man who had given me the money her fiance gave me the money to leave him alone. I rejected him today .. i hope he won't come again '' Eris says . '' Don;t worry I will protect you '' Sam says, hugging her . '' I am sorry Luke please forget about me if i hadn' said that you won't be able to get away from me so that was for the best of us '' Eris says in her heart .

'' Goodbye the cold hearted man , goodbye Luke Fernanadez '' she murmurs . Luke was driving near the highway at full speed . '' She said she hates me ... all over again i am still the loose here since that day i still haven't changed ..... nothing has changed since that day ....... she has changed but i ,...... still the loser ... ''' he blamed himself for everything .

The car was racing through the crowds of cars .Luke wasn't aware of what he was doing at all . Suddenly a car came in front of him and he hit the brake then both cars crashed . Many people gathered there . '' Eris '' was all he could mutter before becoming unconscious . The crowd took him to a nearby hospital . Fortunately he wasn't seriously injured only his hand and head was injured a little .

Luke was admitted to the hospital . His family got hold of this news and they also came rushing to the hospital . '' How did all of this happen ? '' granny asks the doctor . '' According to the statements of the people who brought him here he was driving at full speed and caused an accident that's how he got this injury '' the doctor replies . '' Is he out of danger now ? '' GRANNy asks . '' Yes he's out of danger his head is slightly injured and his arm is fractured and will take two weeks to recover. It's nothing to get worried about'' says the doctor .

'' Can we take him home ? '' granny asks . '' Yes you can get him proper rest or else he won't be able to recover and don't let him worry about things so much alright give him medicines from time to time '' says the doctor . '' Of course '' granny says . She goes to his room . '' Why do you always do things which make us worry ? '' granny asks Luke who was lying down .

'' Cause ... '' he remains silent . '' ANswer me , did you want to meet that girl again ? '' she asks . Luke remains silent . '' Then i am taking this as yes , Luke dear why are you obsessed with the girl ? tell me '' she asks again . '' Cause i love her , i had loved her even when we were a child and i still love her no matter what happens i will always love her and no one can take place of her in my heart cause ...... '' he shouts . '' Cause ? '' asks granny . '' Cause /.... she belongs to me only my property .... which i had bought with all the money .., so she will have to stay in my house along with me sharing my bed ''' he snapped .

'' Calm down Luke don't get so angry i understand but does she like you the same ? Does she feel the same thing as you do ? ''' granny asks . ''' That is .... she had refused me again by saying she hates me '' he utters . '' Then why are you still hanging onto her ? Why care about someone who doesn't love you back ? '' granny states .

'' I can't help it ... '' he shouts '' whenever i see her with someone i get angry and i can't stop myself from going near her '' . '' I feel as if my heart is' breaking into pieces ' he stutters .

'' This is i want you to get married to Natasha quickly. She can heal your pain, let's get back home now she's waiting for you at home, '' says his granny . '' No i will go back tomorrow , let me stay here i want to be alone now '' Luke says . '' You sure ? '' granny asks . '' Yes I am sure and take the bodyguards away from my room everyone would be alarmed '' Luke says .

'' You never make any sense for me to understand guards will be here, take care and sleep well. The nurse will come here from time to time. I am leaving now then '' granny says getting up . '' Don't' become so childish Luke which may hurt you like this '' she says before leaving .

'' I know very well what i am doing '' he utters .
