Anya's pov 

I yawned as I woke up! My body is aching. God, it's like a bulldozer has hit me hard. Of course, after having a night like that, I will feel like that. 

With that, I remember where is Rishav? He was the one who made my night memorable, and he even bit me in the neck.

I looked around and found him sleeping and hugging me. He looks so cute and adorable, like a baby, that no one will say that he was the one who did all that stuff to me last night. 

I looked at the clock and saw it was 8 am. Gosh, I've got to get my ass up; otherwise, I will be late for college. I couldn't wake him up, looking at his sleeping form. 

I very slowly detangled myself from him, taking care that I didn't wake him up in the process. 

I got up from the bed, and unfortunately, the moment I was away from him, he woke up. 

"Where are you going, Little Birdie?" Rishav asked me in his morning voice 

I never knew a guy could sound so hot and look like a model straight out of a magazine after waking up from sleep. 

"I am going to freshen up, then I will eat and go to college. Are you planning to stay here with me or what?" I asked him as my eyes scanned his naked body 

Wait! If he is naked, that means… I immediately looked at my body and found that I was wearing a shirt, and it was his shirt. Thank God that he had covered me with his shirt. 

"I wish I could stay with you every minute of my life, but for now I have to go. My human needs me to work properly. I will meet you this evening on our date. About the dress I know he will send it; that's my choice; don't make me wait. Wear that dress and Meet me, my love." He said with his charming smile and I nodded, deciding not to argue like yesterday 

I can't say no to him, it seems! His eyes do some kind of black magic on me, and his smile is enough to kill me. 

"Fine! You won't hurt me like them, right?" I asked him 

It's the only fear I have! He got up from the bed, and thankfully, his lower body was covered. 

"I will never hurt you intentionally, my little birdie. I love you." He said he was hugging me 

"Why did you bite me yesterday? I fainted after that." I asked him and he just smiled sheepishly 

Well, I marked you as mine; it's immortal stuff, you know. Don't think about it. Now I will take my leave. By the way, only I and you can see the shirt; no one else can, so dress up before someone enters." He said that, and I nodded hurriedly

After kissing my forehead, he left from here. I had many things to ask him, but never mind; I will ask everything later on. 

I dressed up for college and went downstairs to see that I had a parcel in my name. Didn't he fix the date last night? Money actually talks! I can see it here. 

"You have a parcel. Who sent it? Do you have any idea?" Mum asked me 

"Yeah, I do. I have a date tonight. If everything goes well, I will say yes to him and tell you as well who he is; until then, it's a surprise." I told her and she raised her brows 

"So you got a love proposal! I am impressed. I would love to meet your boyfriend." Mum said and I shrugged 

"He isn't my boyfriend yet, he just asked me out. I am hungry, Mum, gimme breakfast." I told her and she served me pancakes 

"Where are Antonio and Dad?" I asked her 

"Your dad is getting ready, and Antonio has left for work early in the morning." she informed her. 

I just replied with an 'oh' Thank God he isn't here; if he was here, he would have created a scene. I was not prepared for the scene at all. I won't check the parcel now; after coming home, I will see what he has sent. 

After having my breakfast, I left for college Elena joined me as well. The looks she was giving me were enough for me to know that she was eager to know what happened yesterday. 

"Spill it already, will you?" I asked her and she smiled brightly 

"So you're dating your brother's boss? That's so cool." she said with enthusiasm 

"It's nothing like that. I'm not dating him yet; he proposed to me to be his girlfriend, but I haven't accepted or rejected it for now." I told her while cutting out all the arrogant stuff he said 

"It didn't seem like that to me anyway; I trust you," she said and the conversation ended here 

None of us talked about it anymore. 

"He asked me to go on a date with him tonight. He will pick me up at 6 pm." I told her when we were about to enter college 

"You're telling me that now? You wasted our money, idiot!" She said and I gave her a, what the hell look? 

"What do you mean by wasted money? We were supposed to come here using money." I told her and she shook her head 

"Today you have a date with THE CALIBAN KNIGHT. You can't be wasting your day in college! God, we have so many things to do. Did you select the dress?" she asked me in one breath 

"He sent it, I didn't check it! I thought I would check it after going home." I told her and I swear she gave me a scary look 

"Are you for real? You didn't even check what he had sent for you, and you're here in college. We are going to the salon right now. You need to get your manicure, pedicure, waxing, hair, eyebrows, and everything else done. Oh god, we have so much to do." she said, clapping her hand, showing how excited she is 

I am not understanding if it's my date or her because she is looking so excited for it. More than me, if you ask me. 

She dragged me to a salon and got everything done. She would help me get ready, so she came home with me, and she was the one who opened the parcel. 

He sent me a Strap sleeves wine red maxi dress with lace work on the upper body


In one word, it's beautiful, and I love it. Elena likes the dress very much as well. 

"This dress is a bomb, and once you wear it and get ready, you will look killer. I bet he won't be able to hold himself back at all." Elena said while getting me ready 

We are both working together, you can say. I am doing my makeup, and all she is telling me is which is looking good and which isn't. 

Once I was completely ready, I couldn't even recognize myself. I was looking completely different and beautiful. I was looking like a Queen, only the crown was missing from my head. 

"You're looking beautiful, my queen! I mean, you're looking like a queen." Elena said and I can't help but agree with her 

"It's almost 6 pm. He must be here any moment now. I want all the details of your date," she added with smile 

Sometimes I feel like Elena understands me very well. She is my perfect secret keeper. It seems like I can tell her anything I want. Anything means anything. Even about Samantha and Rishav as well, but will she trust me or will she think that I am mad? 

I will try talking to her once. I will see how she reacts on that basis. I will decide how much to tell her. 

My phone rang, and it must have been Caliban! Today I didn't get the chance to check my phone, all thanks to Elena. 

"Your date is here, girl! Go and enjoy," She said, looking outside from the window 

"You go home and take some rest. You're jumping around all day." I told her and she nodded 

I took my phone and purse. It was indeed Caliban. There are more missed calls and texts, but I didn't check them. I will check later on. 

I went downstairs with Elena, and mum was sitting in the hall. 

"You're looking so beautiful, my princess. You have grown up so much," mum said and I smiled shyly 

"I will come back soon, bye." I told her and she nodded 

Elena also said bye and went to her home, leaving me alone in front of Caliban, who was sitting inside his car but came out when he saw me. 

I suddenly felt nervous and shy. I don't know why. I felt like he was eating me raw with his eyes. 

I felt like prey in front of her hunter! But in reality, it was nothing like that. 

"Aren't we getting late?" I asked him when he didn't bother to say a single word 

"We can never be late when such beautiful scenery is present in front of me. Come sit!" he said while opening the door of his car 

I seriously felt goosebumps from his words! I feel so scared right now, but for what I don't know, 

I sat inside the car, and he closed the door. He sat in the driver's seat. 

"You will drive?"  I asked him 

"Yes, I drive whenever I want to. I like my privacy very much. These are for you." He said that and handed me a Blue Rose bouquet 

It was really unique and beautiful! I love the colour blue very much so it was a perfect gift for me. 

"Thank you; I loved them." I told him genuinely 

"I knew you would,"  he said, holding my hand and kissed the top of it, making goosebumps arouse on my body 

We have kissed before as well, but today is something different. I am feeling so weird and nervous around him. 

"Where are we going?" I asked him, as I don't know most of the places 

Hell, I don't know anything about this place! I am new here and familiar with very few places. 

"It's a surprise, my love!" Saying he stopped the car abruptly and tied a silk blindfold on my eyes 

"Why did you do that?" I asked him 

"As I said, it's a surprise; don't worry, I am not planning to kill you and bury your body somewhere. I won't eat you either, at least not yet." He said in seductive way, making me gulp hard 

He isn't trying to seduce me; if he is, then he is getting successful. Get a grip on yourself, Anya. You can't melt like this. 

"When will we reach?" I asked him impatiently because I didn't like the fact that I was blindfolded and didn't even know where he was taking me. 

"Have patience, little girl; patience is a virtue!" he said and chuckled 

This chuckle is Rishav's. He never fails to make me realise that he is always with me. 

"At least talk to me! I am getting bored. I don't like to be like this. Either you open my eyes or talk to me. Entertain me!" I said with a huff 

"Fine, ask what you want to know, and I will tell you." He said it, and I smiled 

"Tell me about your family, I don't know anything about you or your family for that matter. If I am dating you, then I should know about you, and you should know about me as well." I told him 

"I know everything about you! About me, there is nothing much to know. I am the single child of Marcus Knight and Adeline Knight. They both passed away when I was 10 years old. My grandmother, Lillian Knight, raised me and made me what I am today. She is a sweet grandmother to me, but to outsiders, she can be scary and dangerous. She never questioned my decisions after I started handling the business because she knew whatever I did would be for good.

 Before me, she was handling everything on her own! My grandmother is a strong woman; after losing her only son and daughter in law she didn't cry and mourn! She handled me and the business that my grandfather and father worked hard for. She is an inspiration! I will take you to meet her when she visits Virginia. As for you, I am gonna stay here, so she will come to meet me. She will love you, and even if she doesn't, she knows better than to come between us. She knows what I want. I get it, no matter what happens. You know, as a kid, I always used to wonder why my parents were taken away from me. What did I do?

My grandmother used to say that because they were good people, God called them early. I decided I wouldn't be a good man if I became good like them. God will take me away from my family soon, and I can't let that happen. People call me a cruel, heartless monster and whatnot; they are not wrong, though I am all those things they address me as, but you don't need to worry about it. I will be good to you until you're good. If you betray me or do something you're not supposed to do, then you will see a side you won't like at all. After losing my parents, I became stubborn.

 I get what I want at any cost. My grandmother never stopped me because she didn't want to hurt the orphan. You're very lucky, Anya, that you have parents and a caring brother. Life without family sucks, even Granny left no stone unturned to raise me as my parents would have, but still somehow I miss them, and their absence affects me like anything." He said all at once and I silently listened to everything 

In his talk, he said so many things at once, which left me confused and scared. He loves his grandmother! He misses his parents, and he is cruel; if I fuck up with him, he won't spare me. The threat was really scary. 

And he knows everything about me. Of course he will! He has money to take information out about people. 

"Wanna say something?" he asked when I stayed silent for a while 

"No, I am absorbing the information you gave me. I don't want you to argue with your granny for me ever. She has raised you, and she has the right to say something about you and your life partner. She must be expecting you to choose the daughter of a rich man, or royalty, for that matter. She won't be expecting that you're dating your employee's sister. I and you both belong to different worlds, Caliban. Our upbringing is different! Our view of life is different. You live a completely different life, and I live a different way. Do you think we can get along together? Can two worlds meet and create their own world, Caliban?"  I asked him seriously 

"We can! I will make our world one, with no partitions or differences. We will both stay together. You're a law student and will become a lawyer one day. I have enough fortune to stay with my family and spoil my next three generations. So, of course, I don't need a rich spoiled brat to be my wife. You're perfect for me! So don't think about it. Now don't think about it; we have almost reached the place." He said it, and I nodded 

I could hear waves hitting the shore. Wait, he brought me to a beach? Oh my God! If he did that, he unknowingly fulfilled my wish. I wanted to go on a date with my partner on a beach. 

He stopped the car, which means we have reached. He opened the car door and closed it, which means now he will come to open my side of the door. 

He opened my side door and carefully pulled me out of the car. I can't see, so he is my guide for now. 

We walked towards somewhere I don't know where, but with each step, the sound of the sea got louder and louder. 

He made me stand and turn towards him, and he opened the blindfold. I was in love with the decorations. It's so fucking beautiful! 


"It's so beautiful! Thanks for doing this." I told him excitedly 

"indeed, it's beautiful. I am glad you liked it." He replied while looking at me with amusement filled eyes 

I knew he was talking about me, not the decorations. 

"So what will we do here?" I asked him 

"Whatever you want to do. Let's make you sit first." He said he guided me towards the small table, which was in the middle of a heart made with rose petals 

I highly doubt it was his plan to do all this; he can't be this romantic. It must be some event manager's doing. 

He made me sit, and I was about to sit but stopped. 

"what happened?" I asked him 

"I forgot something important in my car. I will be back real soon. Don't go anywhere, Anya." He said it, and I nodded 

He went back to his car. I enjoyed the scenery in front of me, and I loved the atmosphere. It was so romantic and perfect for a date. I never knew my first official date with him would be so magical and beautiful. 

It was getting late. Where is Caliban? What is taking him so long? I waited for him but then got bored. 

Let's roam around a bit more. I know him. He must have made sure this part of the beach is completely for us, so it's safe to roam around a bit. 

I started walking and enjoyed the salty air splashing on my face. I always wanted to walk like this on the beach. 

I started to think about what Caliban said. He doesn't want to be a good man because good men die soon. How twisted is it? What was I expecting from him anyway? 

He has to be evil and fucked up, just like previous humans. 

I didn't notice that I had walked so far away from where I was! Crap! I got lost in my thoughts and came so far. If he is back, Caliban must have been searching for me. Where is my phone? God, I left my phone and purse inside his car because of the blindfold; I completely forgot to bring them with me. 

I started walking back from where I came, and when I saw the decorations, I heard Caliban shouting my name. Uh oh! Not a good sign! 

I started walking fast and saw Caliban shouting for me. He looked like a mad man to me. 

"Caliban, I am here!" I said loudly to gain his attention 

When he looked at me, I swear my soul left my body. He was looking so scary! His eyes were red, and he looked no less than a devil at that moment. 

"Where were you?" he asked me calmly but he was anything but calm at this moment 

"I was walking around the beach because you were getting late. I am sorry I didn't notice that my phone wasn't with me. When I realised it, I came back on my own because you must be searching for me. I am really sorry!" I said and kicked a large flower pot, showing how angry he is 

"I told you not to go anywhere, right? I told you, right? Then why did you leave? Why can't you listen to me once? Why do you have to leave me alone? Do you know how fucking scared I was when I came back and didn't see you? Do you fucking know? I called you, but your phone was just ringing and you didn't pick it up. I was searching for you here and there like a mad man." He shouted and I stayed quiet because, here, the fault is mine 

I shouldn't have left suddenly. I felt a little pain in my head, which I had never felt before. 

I closed my eyes in hope for the pain to go away, but instead I started seeing something. 

A grey palace It's bigger than any palace I have ever seen. It's so beautiful! Suddenly, I saw a bedroom that is bigger than my whole house. It's Samantha and Damien's. 

Author's pov 

Samantha was sleeping with Damien in their bedroom. The rays of the sun were falling on her face. She looked towards her husband, who was still asleep. It's the first time that she has been awake before her husband. Normally, Damien doesn't sleep at night; he stares at Samantha when she sleeps. He finds peace in her, so he likes to admire her. But today he was sleeping with her, and she woke up. He was not feeling well, which is why maybe he is sleeping, Samantha assumed. 

"I never get the chance to go out on my own. He always sticks with me or sends guards with me Today I will go out and come back before he wake up," Samantha said, very carefully getting out of bed 

She hurriedly bathed and got ready! She tiptoed out of her room and found her two maids, whom she liked to call her friends. Miranda and Irene, who weren't expecting their Empress to be out of their room without their emperor. 

"Good morning, my queen, You're here at this hour? That too alone?" Miranda asked Samantha 

"Shh! Your Emperor is sleeping, and he shouldn't know that I am not here. You know what he will do if he knows. Please help me go out. I want to go out and worship today. Your emperor never let me go out without him." Samantha pleaded 

"Please, my queen, don't say that. We are your servants, you will order us not to request things . We won't inform him. But for that, we have to be fast. Before he wakes up, we need to come back." Irene said and Samantha got happy 

They used their wings to fly! Everyone saw their Empress flying, but they looked down. It's their Emperor's order that no one can look at their Empress; if they do, they will die. Damien is possessive of Samantha; that's why he did that. 

On the other hand, Samantha loves to meet everyone and talk to her subjects. She is very friendly with them, and at the end, they are her children. She is their mother and half of their creator. She created all the women, and Damien created all the men. 

She reached the place where she would worship. After she was done, she decided to go back, but not before disturbing the fruits and sweets among the people who were present there. 

When she reached the palace, the whole place was in chaos. Everyone was running here and there. Samantha understood that her husband was awake and had created a scene. 

She ran towards her bedroom and found it destroyed. He was shouting at the guards for being careless. 

"Emperor, I am back; please leave them." Samantha said and Damien looked at her with angry eyes 

Samantha has seen Damien angry multiple times, but not once was she his target. But today, it was she who made the devil angry. 

"Privacy!" Samantha said and all the guards literally ran away from there 

No one wanted to die! 

"Where were you?" Damien asked while coming towards Samantha, who was taking her steps back. 

"I went to worship outside while you were sleeping. That's why I didn't inform you. I am sorry." Samantha apologised and realised that she was trapped between the wall and Damien. 

"This is the sole reason I don't sleep at night. I can't keep my eyes closed, and if I do, you just vanish in front of me. DON'T YOU KNOW I NEED YOU ALL THE TIME IN FRONT OF ME? DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I NEED YOU? WHY DID YOU GO OUT ALONE? YOU KNOW VERY WELL I DON'T LIKE IT. YOU WANTED TO ESCAPE FROM ME, ISN'T IT? YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY WITH ME ANYMORE. YOU WANTED TO LEAVE ME!" Damien shouted angrily and choked Samantha 

"Leave me, Damien! I wasn't doing anything like that. I love you! Please calm down; I love you! I will never leave you. How can I even think about it? You know how much I love you, and most importantly, where will I go if I leave you? The door of heaven is closed for me! Even if it had been opened, I would not have left you at any cost. I love you. Please Damien I won't ever repeat this mistake. I know you can't stay without me at all. You need me like my creatures need air to survive. I won't go out of your vision ever. I am sorry. "  Samantha pleaded in front of him 

Damien closed his eyes to calm himself down and left Samantha. 

"If you ever try to leave me, sweetheart, I will kill you first, then destroy this whole damn universe, and then kill myself as well. You're mine, and you can't ever leave me alone. You wanted to leave me and go out, right? Now I will make sure that you don't get out of bed for days. I never behaved roughly with you while making love because I knew my fragile wife couldn't take it, but today I will unleash my beast on you." Damien said, throwing her on the bed while removing his clothes 

Anya's pov 

Anya opened her eyes, as she didn't want to see them having sex. She remembered Samantha mentioning this incident when he got angry, and now she can see why. Damien possesses a different level of Obsession for Samantha. He needs her all the time. The look she saw in Damien's eyes was the very same look Caliban gave her today. Filled with madness and Obsessiveness. Damien couldn't stand a moment without Samantha. How he stayed for 700 years without her is a big question for her now. 

"Anya, are you fine? I am sorry for shouting at you. I have anger issues, and I can't handle myself when I'm angry. Anya, please talk to me." Caliban said while shaking me 

"I am fine. Caliban, I understand. It was my fault. I shouldn't have left without informing you. I should have checked if my phone was with me or not. It's not your fault. I am sorry for ruining our date." I apologised to him again 

He scares me, and so does Damien! They are mad and scary, but that day I was also behaving like this. Oh god! Take a deep breath, Anya! Calm down! 

"You sit here." Caliban made me sit and sit down on my opposite chair. 

"I am sorry, I forgot to tell you I have bad anger issues. In my anger, I don't know what I do with others. When I calm down, I realise what I did in my anger. I am extremely sorry, Let's not ruin our date, okay?" he asked calmly and I nodded hurriedly 

"Do you know to take what I left?" he asked and I shook my head in no 

This," Caliban said, showing me a beautiful ring 

He got up from his seat and came in front of me He sat on his knee and said 

"I know, Anya, I can be really difficult and complicated to handle and understand. I am not a simple man. I have issues that I am not afraid to tell you about. I don't like to play, hide and seek; I say that directly. I like you very much, Anya, and I want to fall in love with you. Will you fall in love with me? Will you love me and accept me? Will you be mine, Anya?" he asked me nicely 

This time, he was nice! He never beat around the bush, and I kind of like that quality of his. He has issues, and we can work on them together. I never thought that this arrogant jerk could have a sweet side as well. Caliban has anger issues, and he accepted that he never claimed to be perfect. No one is perfect, and I am not either. Love should be pure, not perfect. We can have our pure but imperfect love. 

"I will love you, Caliban. I will fall in love with you. I will accept you and be yours. I am yours, Caliban, yours to love and do whatever you want to do." I said and he made me wear the ring 

It's an infinity ring! It shows that our bond is unbreakable. I won't let myself die, or let him die, for that matter. This time, history won't repeat itself. I will write a new story of ours—a happy story with a happily ever after. 


He got up and stood in front of me! I don't know what happened to me, but I pulled him down using his collar and placed my lips on his, sealing our special moment with a kiss filled with love. 

Author's pov 

Anya and Caliban were both lost in the kiss of their love, but both were unaware of a pair of blue eyes that burned with fire when they saw them together like that. 

"You can't have her! Not at any cost! She is mine, and she will become mine once again. Playing around is over; now you will see what I do with you. Enjoy the few moments of love because Eternity of sadness and grief is waiting for you," that man said and left from there
