Chapter 9:- Fiancé (Part 1)

Chapter 9- Fiancé (Part 1)

"Miss Eva, dinner is ready." A maid walked inside Eva's room and said with a bow.

"I will be there in a minute," Eva said as she looked at herself in the mirror. Although her appearance was perfect in every way, she was conflicted about something.

'Do I not look beautiful in Kai's eyes? Should I change my hairstyle? Or dye it in another color? Hmm, maybe the color of my eyes is too bland.' Touching her face, she thought of all kinds of changes.

However, without something to base her choice on, she can't change anything. She wasn't someone who liked gambling especially when this gamble would determine how her beloved would look at her from now on.

"Sigh, I should apologize properly tomorrow. I'm sure Kai is still angry." She murmured as she turned around to leave the room. "But, at least, I wanted him to read the message…"

The downcast girl then left her room and walked through the long corridor of her luxurious mansion. Even though she didn't want this extravagant mansion, her parents insisted that if she wanted to really move out and live on her own that she must accept this mansion.

Eva was born with a golden spoon in her mouth and yet she never really found money that interesting. In her eyes, the people that spend their whole life running after money are nothing but foolish idiots that can't really live life for its real purpose.

As her mind wandered to such thoughts, she found herself standing inside the dining hall. In the middle of it, a long table that stretches for at least 25 meters was set up and filled with all kinds of foods cooked by the best chefs that her family could find. It was a feast big enough to accommodate tens of people.

Her maid came forward and bowed again.

"Please…" She said as she pulled the chair for her young mistress.

The latter nodded her head and sat down. At a mere glance, the food looked amazing and mouth-watering. However, Eva was someone who tasted heaven before so everything else simply felt bland in her mouth.

'I want to eat Kai's food again.' She thought as she sighed and grabbed her fork and knife.

As she ate in silence, her eyes wandered to the other side of the table. There was not a sense of familiarity in this place. It was certainly a beautiful mansion, no arguing about that. But, Eva didn't seek perfection but warmth.

A place where she could feel warm and happy inside is in her opinion, way better than any extravagant castle or one-of-a-kind mansion.

"Do you need anything, Miss Eva?" The maid beside her noticed the weird expression on Eva's face and asked with a concerned tone.

"No, nothing. I just don't have the appetite to eat."

"Is the food not to your liking? I can ask the chefs to cook something else."

"No… It's not that."

*RING* *RING*

Suddenly, Eva's phone rang and her eyes immediately lit up as she quickly pulled it out, expecting to see Kai's name. However, the name that she saw made her face return to its coldness again.

So, without hesitation, she hung up the call without answering. She had no desire to talk with this particular person, not now, not ever. However, a second later, her phone rang again.

So, she hung up the call again. But, the phone rang again the next second.

'This bastard.' Clicking her tongue, Eva simply blocked the number.

However, a second later, another number called her.

"Tsk, I'm going to kill him." Sighing loudly, Eva decided to pick up the phone. Immediately, a voice spoke excitedly.

"Eva, my lovely fiancee! I missed you so much!" The voice belonged to a man clearly.

"I think I was clear when I said I don't want you to contact me ever again, Edward," Eva replied with a harsh tone. Only she knows how much she just wants to murder this man.

"As cold as ever, I see. How can I not contact my own fiancee? You can't expect me to do that. Yes, it's impossible."

"I'm going to hang up and turn off the phone." She said as she was about to click the red button on the screen.

"Wait! Please, I heard that you moved out to another city far away. Why?"

"None of your business."

"No, no, it is my business to know where my future wife went."

"I'm not your future wife."

"You and your shy behavior again. Don't worry, I'm sure you will soon come to accept me as your husband." The man said with a confident, almost cocky tone. "Anyway, either way. I asked your parents about the location you moved to and I have a surprise for you. I'm moving there tomorrow."

Immediately, Eva's anger skyrocketed. Not because he was trying to stalk her and not even because her parents gave him her information.

'He's going to annoy Kai.' She thought to herself.

She knew that Edward was quite the weird creep who would research everything about Eva no matter how small it was. So, if he ends up trying to harass Kai, it wouldn't end peacefully.

'If I could, I would've killed him myself. But… Tsk.' When Eva remembered the thing that made it impossible for her to kill this man, she could only clench her teeth in anger.

"Hahaha, are you surprised? I'm sure you are. I missed your face too much, darling. I lo-"

*Click*

Eva hung up the phone and rubbed her temples with an exhausted expression.

"Mia, I want you to send a message to my father."

"Yes. What should be the content of the message?"

"'You had done something you will regret a lot.' Send him those exact words." She said before she stood up and left the dining room.

The night passed quietly and the next day arrived. Kai woke up and prepared himself for school before he left his house walking on foot. Since he lived close to the school, he didn't need to get on a train. It was a simple, 10-minute walk.

"Hm?" When he reached the school's gates, he found a weird sight. Many students were standing around looking at something.

Kai was at first puzzled but when he saw the luxurious limousine, he understood the reason for this behavior.

'Another transfer student?' He thought as he tried to recall ever seeing that Limousine before. However, he couldn't remember it which meant that it belonged to a new student.

But, Kai didn't bother with that as he walked past the group of students and entered the school.

When he reached the class, he found Eva sitting quietly on her chair, reading a book.

The sight of the girl mixed with the rays of light was mesmerizing, to say the least. When she noticed Kai looking at her, she looked up and smiled widely.

"Good morning!"

"..." Kai didn't say much and simply sat on his chair before he looked outside.

"I'm really sorry about yesterday," Eva said.

"..."

"I really didn't mean to do th-"

Before Eva could finish her words, students started entering the class which made it impossible for her to continue.

Quickly, the class was filled with students and then the teacher walked inside with a rather pale expression.

"Uh, we have another… transfer student today."

"Another one?!"

" Did you see the Limousine that stopped in front of the school this morning? It must be the new student."

"Still, I've never heard of two transfer students moving to one school back to back."

Kai, who heard such words, had a weird suspicion. It was indeed odd that another transfer student would appear the next day especially when this school wasn't even that popular or prestigious.

Then, his eyes shifted to Eva who had a complicated expression on her face.

'It has something to do with her certainly.' He thought as he looked back at the door.

Using a small ounce of his power, Kai sensed the presence of the person outside. His eyebrows raised for a second as he quickly recognized who that person was and then returned to normal the next second.

'I see…'

"Please, come in."

The door was slid open and an extremely handsome boy walked in. He had short brown hair and two beautiful blue eyes. He was almost as tall as Kai, albeit an inch shorter since his shoes were rather thicker than normal.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Edward Charlamagne. I'm the heir to the Charlamagne family and the world champion for the under-19 category in chess, golf, and Boxing. Nice to meet all of you." He said with a haughty smile on his face.

Usually, no one would introduce themselves and then add their achievements alongside it as it was a blatant arrogance. But, Edward didn't care about any of that. He was arrogant and everyone should know that as he had every right to be arrogant.

Immediately, whispers errupted in the class. The girls blushed at the mere sight of Edward's handsome appearance and the boy were gritting their teeth in envy and shock. He was simply too handsome for their poor hearts.

"Uh, Mister Edward… you can ch-" Before the teacher could finish his words, Edward had already walked toward the end of the class and stood in front of Kai.

"I want this chair, move." He said without a shred of respect.

Kai stared at him casually without saying a word.
