Amelia's POV

Next morning I woke up and followed the same routine for my exercise with still some OOhs and AAhs and some teasing "You woke up so early".  At the breakfast we were joined by the Kings as well as the Montclairs .
After all the discussion about business party dad announced

"So , tomorrow we will be having a business lunch with Ethan's new partner's family followed by a business party in night for announcing the deal."

"OMG OMG Amy we have to shop something for you. I just know the perfect place" dramatically said Hannah.

"It's alright Han. I have my outfit but yeah we will go for shopping anyways. I also wanted to have lunch at our regular place. What say??"

"Sounds great"  replied Hannah enthusiastically.
 

We got ready after sometime

We got ready after sometime.
I wore my offshoulder ping ruffled crop top and paired it with black leather pants and my lovely heels. Tied my hair in half bun updo and applied kajal and lipgloss and yeah sent a mirrorsnap to my dear Ari. Voila!! I'm good to go.

Walking down the stairs I saw every head turning my way.  Hannah along with Jenna and Cassie exclaimed an elongated "Wowww" together which made me bit my lip and smile.
Hazel gave me a thumbs-up with a flying kiss which made everyone laugh.
"Oh my princess" exclaimed dad.
" My baby is all grown up "  fake sobbed my mother.
"Sisssss"  exclaimed Daniel
Ethan just wrapped a black leather jacket arround me which made me look at him and he just have me a look that states " You are all good to go now" making the girls sigh.
Well it looks good so I'll take it up and also it will be cold breeze out there and most importantly it assured my brother so ya suck it up.
Everyone now were suggesting the places to visit now. I was listening it all but felt a constant heated gaze on me .  Zander King .  Oh holly molly! Why the hell he is looking at me like this?

We left for our shopping spree and trust me we didn't make it up to home untill we had dinner from our favourite place.

Next day came fast and I followed the same routine. Now I'm on video call with Ari and Hannah as she wanted to see us both in our looks.
I saw Hannah getting her hair done by Cassie on the screen.
I too started getting ready with all the gossips here and there.
I decided to go formal for lunch and then glam for party.
I did a messy bun as directed by Ari. She is goddess of hairstyling. Then did a soft dewy makeup. I changed into the outfit and added my heels and then posed to Ari and she squeeled  Hottttttt. Hannah was in the washroom and Cassie left after styling her hair. I bid my bye to her and then gave myself last glance and left my room for drawing room.
I stopped at the stairs and notice my handsome father who is complementing my blushing mother. I love how they are so in love. I then saw my dashing brother Ethan along with gorgeous  looking Jenna and then saw Daniel who is involved in making faces at the romancing couple. I snickered quietly.
I then saw the younger Kings couple and woah they look hot together. Momma king also looks elegant and beautiful and his man complementing her well with the colour co-ordinated outfit..
I then locked eyes with Zander and got my breath hitched as he was gazing at me intensely. He took his sweet time in scanning me from my eyes to my heels and back to my eyes. I saw appreciation and possessiveness swirling in his eyes but what confused me the most was adoration and love. For me?? Oh no! I must be mistaken. I got back from the toe curling eye lock when Hannah entered the house along with her family. I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and hot cheeks. I then walked down the stairs like a boss.

When I reached down I saw everyone in awe and Hannah well she needs a filter

When I reached down I saw everyone in awe and Hannah well she needs a filter.
"Damn women! Your asss!  You look unbelieving hot. " Which made all the guys leave  grunt and groans including Zander. I saw his fist curled and he looks like a raging Bull.
I replied with a shy wink and a smile. Then I looked Han and damn, she looks enchanting.

  When I finished complementing her which made her smile and flip her hair which In turn got Cassie's slap on arm we turned towards others

  When I finished complementing her which made her smile and flip her hair which In turn got Cassie's slap on arm we turned towards others. Then we complemented all the ladies and got theirs. Now I'm sitting all shy with Hannah in the backseat with a flirting James( Hannah's brother) and a raging Bull of a man who is irritated for God knows what. When we reached the office James and Hannah were bickering and I was looking at the building smiling softly and walking down the memory lane of the zillions time I was here before. Sudden yelp left my mouth when I was pulled towards a rock hard chest.  The butterflies in my stomach and the enticing cologne gave away who it was. Zander. I took a shuddering breath and look towards him and locked my eyes with his dilated ones. He sniffed my scent and took few calming breath while I stood there still in his arms holding mine. Once he calmed he held my waist and uttered something which sounded like "You're mine ".
I ignored the stomach flip and thought it as my imagination. I pushed him softly and he removed his hands from my waist and held my hand. Our hand looked perfect as if made to be held together. I took a breath to get rid of this stupid feeling and looked ahead when he said 'Stay with me'. I don't know why but my heart whispered forever. I shook my head . Hannah grabbed me and I seperated from him. We walked together followed by James and Zander. As I entered I was given a huge and grand welcome by everyone. I got a bit uncomfortable with them calling me heiress but all in all it felt like homecoming.
We assembled in the glass office where I met Ethan's new partner and his family which seemed sweet except for a flirty caked up princess who was apparently collectively hitting on all the boys including Ethan. Yeah! She wants to be dead by my sister in law. I also want her away from my  Zan... no no no what the hell. Ignore. We then sat for our lunch . I met a handsome guy  Michael who was the son of Ethan's partner and was quite charming. He seems like a great company. Lunch was served. Zander looked pissed with the flirting bitch Rachel and we'll I was happy with that. I mean I don't care. Lunch was great with few secret glances towards Zander and embarrassing when caught. Also everytime I glanced at him and he glances back at me intensely and glares at Michael , making my stomach flip unintentionally.
What the hell is wrong with me. I have to get myself together. He is my tormenter and my brother's best friend and nothing else. Yeah. Even though I want more whispered my mind which I ignored. Yeah. That's it.
Hufff.
