Mine To Toy: Mafia And His CEO

•Chapter-24•

I saw something in his eyes. Hurt. That's what I thought it was. I can't tell why exactly he was hurt but I feel so much guilty to make him feel like this on our first day as a couple......well I know he hasn't proposed to me properly and declared to me that we are girlfriend-boyfriend now, but maybe I can consider it like that.

Though, he said in front of aaryan that he is my boyfriend but I don't know. Maybe it happens like this only in America.

I went inside the restaurant still consumed by my thoughts about what was the point of him getting upset when aaryan's voice make me come out from my thoughts "are you going to have a seat or you're going to stare at the end without blinking till the sun goes down?" He asked and I diverted my gaze towards him with an awkward smile.

"I am sorry, I was just a little distracted" I said not trying to sound obvious.

"I can see that, something happened between you too?" He asked refering to Ace and me. I shook my head, indirectly saying to stay the fuck out of my personal life, and smiled at him.

I sat on my seat in front of him and I noticed Yash is not present over here. "Where is Yash?" I asked.

"I told him to leave because I wanted us to be alone" he said taking a sip from his coffee which I just noticed was there. I saw my breakfast is also there in front of me, but I don't feel like eating anymore. How in the hell he can send my bestfriend-secretary away without my consent?.

"Why didn't you asked me? I didn't allow him to go?" I said sounding angry and annoyed at the same time. He cocks his one brow at me and smirked. "I like that" he said and I frown at his words.

I am not saying much because he is my dad's friend's son or else his clothes would be drinking his coffee by now.

"Why do you want us to be alone?" I asked and he looked at me with confusion. He stares at me for few seconds and I looked at him waiting for him to explain. "You really don't know?" He asked and I raised my one brow at him.

He dropped his fork and chuckled and then looked at me "you and me are on a date, Ms.singhaniya".

My eyes widen at his words and my knife fell on the side of my plate from my grip. I am flabbergasted. "What do you mean? Your dad said that we are meeting for a deal".

"It was just an excuse for us to meet. My dad told me that I am meeting with you for a date and we have to keep it secret for some time" he said. I can't think straight. Like what in the hell!! How can my dad do this with me?. He sent me on a date with a guy I don't even know, just because he is his friend's son doesn't make me marry him without my wish.

"I was confused at first when that man said he was your boyfriend and then you told him to go away so I assumed that you know everything because I thought you are sending him just because you want us to be alone on this date" he explained.

I got up and took my purse in my hand. I took some money out and placed it on table. He was now standing in front of me looking confused more than me. "He is not 'that man' he is Ace Martin and my boyfriend for your kind information. This is my bill pay it and forget we even met before" I said and walked away without glancing backwards at him.

I am furious at my dad. I mean, I know I am 25 and he wants me to get married and have childrend and a happy life, but I don't want a life like that. I mean, of course I want a sweet husband and maybe kids but whenever I wish for it. I want to earn right now. I want to be in the top of this fucking world.

How ridiculous it is to me, that my own father would send me on a date with an unknown person. I dialed my dad's number and called him. After a few rings he picked up the call with a happy voice which says "Tara beta, how was your date?" He asked as if he didn't told me that it was exactly a date.

"As if I knew it was a date" I said trying not to raise my voice because of course no matter what he is my father and I respect him a lot.

"Oh come on baccha, I know aaryan is a good guy and you wouldn't have agreed to go on a date with him if I wouldn't have planned this--planned? Seriously papa? Planned?" I cut his sentence in between and showed my irritation.

"You know, I will always choose good for you" he said. There he goes with his sweet black mailing.

"I know papa, you will always choose good for me but let me tell you that I will always choose best for me, so don't do this again" I said and hung up the call without waiting for his reply. I know it's disrespectful but he is my dad and he knows how bad my anger is, afterall I have this special emotion in such an exaggerated way because of him only.

I sat inside my car and griped my hairs in my hands and closed my eyes for a few minutes to relax. I looked up and took my phone in my hand to call Ace. I am still guilty for what I did and since then only one thing is going on in my head which is, 'maybe I shouldn't have told him to go away, but I thought it was a meeting not a date, it's not my fault or maybe it is my fault'.

I don't know what he'll say after I'll tell him that what my dad did. I called him and after a couple of rings he picked up my call "you're done early, star?" He said with his beautiful deep voice and as if he wasn't sad few hours ago.

"I....I am sorry" I said on a verge to cry. I am a very emotional person. I can be the sweetest to someone and worst for someone at the same time if I have to be. I get attached to people very quickly and whenever I do something which makes them upset my heart aches.

"I am sorry I told you to go" I said my voice came out a little breathy and I couldn't hide that I was about to cry because he said "what he did to you? I swear star, if he has laid a single finger on you I will make him rot in hell" his voice is filled with anger.

"No he didn't do anything" I said but I don't know if he heard me or not "I am coming to take you" he said and hung up the call without waiting for my answer. I suck in lung full of breaths and wiped the few drops of tears from my face.

I just hope he doesn't get furious and threaten him.
