(MARRIED TO THE DEVIL SON)VOLUME 3

4

At night Heaven waited for Zarin in her room. She had asked Gina to send him to her, but she hadn't told her why. Heaven wondered how Zarin would react. She knew he wouldn't like the idea, and he would probably not agree to help her.

While waiting nervously she prepared her speech in her head, but then slowly she became afraid. Would this ruin her friendship with Zarin? She didn't want to lose him. And where was he, by the way? What was taking him so long? She was getting impatient and tired.

Just when she was about to give up and go to sleep he appeared out of thin air. Heaven felt jealous everytime he did that. She wanted to be able to do that as well, but she couldn't. Only demons and half demons could do that, and she was neither. Being partly witch, human and demon made her a complicated creature.

"Good evening, Princess." Zarin bowed teasingly. "How can I be of service to you?"

Heaven smiled at his childish behavior. "You are late." She complained.

He straightened himself and then ran his fingers through his messy hair to adjust it. Heaven studied him closely. He was handsome, and just like both his parents, he made heads turn.

On top of that, he knew how to dress well, and he would always experiment with his hair. Today he wore a blue shirt that matched his blue eyes, with a pair of black trousers and a black jacket adorned with fur on the shoulders. He let his black hair down except for the one braid on the left side of his head. His pink lips were slightly red. Heaven could tell he had been drinking wine and probably partying.

"I apologize sincerely. But I am here now." He grinned.

Heaven stared at his mouth. His fangs had elongated, which meant that he had been sexually active. When aroused, demon's fangs elongate.

"I am sure you had a good reason to be late." She said ironically.

"Well, I was in the middle of something difficult to get out from."

Heaven nodded knowingly, but she didn't know why it bothered her. Zarin had always enjoyed the company of women.

Stumbling a bit, he took off his jacket and threw it on her sofa. Just how much did he drink? Demons and half demons could only get drunk after drinking enormous amounts.

"So..." He began as he came to sit next to her on the bed. "You wanted to talk?"

Heaven got suddenly nervous and her heart began to beat erratically.

"What is wrong?" He asked, after hearing the fierce pounding of her heart.

She turned to him slowly. He was siting close to her and looking at her intently.

"Zarin, I need to ask you a favor."

He gave her a nod.

"I want you to... to marry me."

The world went still for a moment before Zarin blinked a few times in disbelief.

"What did you say?" He asked.

Zarin seemed baffled by her words, so she decided to explain before he told her how stupid she sounded.

"See, I don't like any of the men I met so far and probably won't like the ones coming too. Also, I don't think any of them are worthy of being a King. I am comfortable with you and I trust you. Don't worry, the marriage will just be a formality. We don't have to consummate the marriage and you can have any woman you like. Besides, you get to become a King." She paused. Did she say everything she needed to say?

Zarin expression only seemed to get worse.

"Do you hear yourself?" He asked.

"Yes. And I wouldn't say this if it wasn't the best option." Or the only option. "So what do you say?"
