“Zareenah’s POV”

My eyes grew hearing his statement “ni… ni shou shenme?!! (What did you say?!)” I inquired hoping that I misheard him.

He turns to me his eyes were set on me only making my heart skips “Wǒ shuō wǒ yào nǐ zuò wǒ de nǚrén. (I said I want you to be my woman)” he muttered seriously. His eyes are like a dark night shining as I mirrored on it and see my disappointed appearance regarding to the matter he proposed at me. I drop my jaw hearing him speak in Chinese fluently I did not expects him to understand me.

I thought I misheard him but now that I clearly heard it I think that it’s not a good sign for me and I can’t stop overthinking about it. Why does this perverted man wants me to be his girlfriend? And… where did he get the courage to think that I will like him? Does he really think that I am a girl who can he easily messed? He’s dreaming…

I rolled my eyes and turn my back passing at him “I AM NOT INTERESTED.”

“That is not a question Ms. Zareenah. That is a statement” I heard him conceitedly says.

I paused from leaving as I heard his bossy statement and turns to him I found him grinning as if he’s celebrating his early victory.

“And what if I turned you down?” I challenged him I saw him took step closer at me while his eyes are glued on me making my stumble inside my chest moving his lips closer to my neck “then I will do everything just to make you mine” his voice sounded husky as his breath touches my skin and sent shivers down to my spine. I don’t know why am I feeling this way I know that I don’t like this man but why is my heart skipping every time that he will do a physical contact at me?

I calmed myself ‘I will not fall for his tricks. I will not fall for his tricks… C’mon Zareenah! Wake up! Don’t fall for his face he is nothing but a pervert and ungrateful guy you met. He doesn’t even deserve your attention did you forget your reason of coming here?’ I said to myself.

I shifted my gaze and pushes him away from me but he remain still as I saw my hands landed on his build muscular chest unconsciously my eyes grew as I touched his hard strong and drop-drooling chest I feel my face heated up! What am I doing? Wha—t can I do now?

I nervously get off my hands of him when he touches my hands stopping me and placed it on his chest looking intently in my eyes “I am willing to let you touch my body anytime you want as long as you accept me to be your boyfriend” he whispered seductively.

‘How dare him insult me?! Does he thinks I’m up to his body?! Huh! His dreaming! His only looking good but aside from that his nothing to me!’

“I don’t know what made you think that I like you” I scanned him from head to down “you’re not even qualified to be my lover!”

His face turns to disappointment as his grip from my hands loosen I grinned and stand next to him as I muttered “it’s a wake-up call Mister…” But that disappointment immediately vanished grabbing my arms tightly “I know that I am over-qualified to your standard but I am willing to lower down my qualities to match to your qualification. You will be mine soon” he proudly mentioned.

I marched out of the house and grab a cab outside. Is that how men hook up with girls in this country? I don’t understand them!

I arrived quickly in the meeting place to meet my hired private investigator in the Chinese restaurant I booked I waited him in a closed spacious private room. The foods are already served on the table I grabbed a glass of lemon juice and sip a portion of it till the door opened as a man appeared and walk inside. d on my observation of his he must have a good news for me.

I followed his movement as he stride in “take a seat” I offered. He followed my order and take out the envelope from the black case he brought I can’t wait to hear the good news from him.

“How’s your investigation about her? Did you find any clue her whereabouts?!” I gushed while my eyes are on him I saw how his face turns sad as he nods to my queries.

“Before I report what I learned about her I hope that your mind is ready to accept—”

I furrowed my brows my heart beats rapidly as I felt something heavier on my chest making me hard to breath “what do you mean? Why are you saying that I should be ready?”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you ma’am but your sister is gone her friends clarified it to me and told me where she was buried. It happened a month ago and no one knows how she died” he spelled out.

My whole world suddenly collapsed as my tears streamed down my cheek “I don’t believe you! I--t’s impossible that she’s go-ne I can feel that she is still alive” My voice cracked as I burst in cry.

“I’m sorry for your loss but this is the truth you have to face if… If you don’t believe me check this out” he handed me the brown envelope he took out from the case. My hands were shaking as I slowly taking out the papers from it my whole body trembles as I saw a ridiculous tragic incident of a picture printed on the paper. “H-how… can I explain it to our m—om and dad?”

I shifted my gaze at Mr. Libio I don’t think I can go on looking any further on this information for now. “Who… is accountable behind her death?”
