Hate War

Chapter 19

***Vote for chapter guys***

All of this I hate the most is the power he has started to have on me. I was the only master of my own body but now it has started to obey him too.

I just hate it. 

When he was completely out of my sight I took much needed deep breath to bring my scattered sense back. I made my posture erect and gave one last glance at the flowers where both of our hands were touching just a minute ago.

What happened just now.

I can't even believe I just obeyed him. I got threatened by him and I just gave in. I moved my head in disbelief not believing how I behaved. Still moving my head in denial I went back to the main hall to see the preparation over there. Josh was standing there examining the half-done decoration when his eyes fell on me he passed me a polite smile. I smiled back and went near him. After explaining something to the worker he looked at me. 

"Are you ok?" he asked, looking at my little stressed face.

"Yeah," I said with the same expression but in my head, my inner voice was screaming. I'm not sure about it. My thoughts were still clouded with his thoughts and what he said to me and how I reacted to it.

"Nina" Josh called my name to get my attention.

"Yes," I said, still thinking about him.

"The decoration will be done till noon but I was thinking about the decoration of the wedding and all the arrangements," he said and started explaining to me while showing more pictures of the flower arrangement of tables and centerpieces. We both got submerged in our work and while decided another pattern for a flower arrangement for centerpieces. I don't know how time passed because before I knew it was noon. Now I was checking the final decoration.

"Wow," I heard a delighted voice from behind me. Jane was standing behind me with an aww look in her eyes. "Nina the flower arrangement is so beautiful," Jane said while moving her eyes to other arrangements.

"Thank God you liked it," I said with a smile while putting my hand over her shoulder. "Come I will show you this side of the arrangement," I said dragging her to the area where the engagement party will be held.

"Wow Nina, the main hall arrangement is so beautiful," she said in her pleased voice. I am happy that at least the arrangements are making her happy even though she doesn't like the groom; she likes the flower arrangement. She deserves at least this much happiness for sacrificing herself. I beamed at her smile.  

"Thank you, Nina, for doing this you know aunty was so stressed about it but you handled it so well," she said, taking my hand in her with a smile on her face.

"You don't have to thank me. I did what I have to do," I said while touching her upper arm with a small smile.

"You deserve the praise. It would have been so difficult for aunty to manage everything at the same time but because of you she was able to manage everything," she said in her sweet voice. 

"You don't need to thank me for it. The person you need to thank is Josh because he was the one who made this arrangement so beautiful," I said and my eyes started to search for the tall man in the hall.

"Josh" I called his name when I spotted him with some workers hearing my voice. He turned around to look at me. I gestured to him to come near me.

He jogged in my direction, reaching near us he flashed his full teeth smile, and said "Hey."
