Dark Promises

CHAPTER 3

After that, they worked together. They didn't even talk properly with each other. Both companies worked so hard, and yes, they were very successful. Within two months, they reached their goal. Kendra and Zayn worked so hard for it. They only talked when it came to work; other than that, they didn't even look at each other. They were like enemies.

At their success party,

Everyone was talking to other businessmen and women. They were all so engaged. Both families were present, including Raden and Celine.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Linda," while Kendra was talking to Ms. Linda, Celine walked towards Zayn and asked him, while looking at Kendra,

"Hey Zayn, is she the CEO of Walker Ventures?"

When Celine asked, he sighed and said, while glancing at Kendra with no interest, "Yes, she is the one."

Celine nodded with a smile while looking at Kendra. Zayn frowned and asked her,

"Why are you smiling and looking at her?"

When Zayn asked, Celine said while looking at Kendra, "I wish she would become my sister-in-law."

As soon as she said that, Zayn widened his eyes in surprise and shouted, "WHAT THE HELL, CELINE?"

Hearing his shout, everyone, including Kendra, looked at him. Zayn looked around, excused himself, dragged Celine, and went out. Kendra looked at Zayn and sighed in disbelief.

"What the hell was that, Zayn?" Celine asked him, almost shouting. Zayn closed his eyes and asked her,

"It's the same question I need to ask you, Celine. What the hell was that? How can you wish like that? It is never going to happen. Just drop that wish and wish for something else."

Zayn said in one go. Celine looked at him with a questioning face. Then suddenly, Raden said while walking towards them,

"He is reacting like this because they are like enemies, Celine."

Both of them looked at him. After hearing him, Celine said while looking at Zayn,

"How can you be enemies with Kendra, Zayn? And I was not talking about you, idiot. I was talking about Adrain, Raden's brother."

Zayn looked at Raden and then at Celine again and said,

"I thought you were talking about me and Kendra. Sorry."

Celine scoffed and said, "You? She is a charming and beautiful young lady. I can't even imagine her being your wife, idiot."

Zayn looked at her and said, "I also don't need that Kendra to be my wife. I will get another woman better than her."

Celine scoffed again and said, "You can't imagine a girl like her being your wife. I'm thinking about Adrain. I think they will be a great match, right, babe?" Raden nodded.

"His fate..." Zayn murmured.

Celine looked at him with a questioning face and asked, "Did you say anything, Zayn?"

Zayn shook his head. Celine glared at him, took a deep breath, and asked him,

"Why are you guys enemies? She is so charming, and I love her behavior."

Zayn scoffed at her statement and said, "She is my number one enemy. Her attitude.. It is at its peak."

When Zayn said this, Celine said while crossing her arms against her chest, "Then what about yours, Mr.?"

Zayn looked at his sister and said, "It is because I'm a mafia."

Celine scoffed at his statement and said, "Mafia? Why can only mafias have attitudes, huh? Moreover, she is a businesswoman. She can have as much attitude as she wants. Don't judge her, idiot." She said this and walked towards the party hall. Raden chuckled at his wife.
