Royal Ceo by Seerat Kaur (the best novels to read .TXT) 📕

                            They’re a family heirloom. His ancestors earned the title hundreds of centuries ago. They ruled the noble community. My family is nothing compared to them. Doesn't he want to marry me? That would be the reason he would hire a girl to spend time with him. Things are getting complicated. I did not do what to do with us? 

      A beep echoed in the room, grabbing my attention. I glanced at my phone. Aerial message popped up on my screen. I swiped. 

             'Club, if you're not busy,'

      I immediately replied to her. I didn't wanna spend another night alone when I didn't know anything about him. I wanted to know desperately. Sometimes, I thought of losing control over myself and yelled out of my lungs. I didn't wait for her message. 

      I grabbed a silver dress from the cupboard and sauntered to the washroom. I checked my reflection, there was sadness but it wouldn't stay long, I checked my make-up, ran my hand over a mini silver dress. Perfect distraction! I wasn't going to miss him today. 

    I grasped my purse and dropped my phone in it. I wasn't going to check or attend any call. Aerial must be waiting for me. I scurried over to the door. I'd been reeling since he stopped touching me. But not anymore. He, things related to him shouldn't affect me. I couldn't risk myself losing in the whirl of emotions. 

    "Hi," I prompted softly as I saw her waiting in her car behind the wheel. She was wearing a green dress, red lipstick. I fanned my face. 

    She giggled, "Get in the car, girl. I'm dying to dance," 

    I just wanted to get away from everything my new life had provided me. I didn't want to go there with what he had made of me. His beautiful house was my prison, I rarely saw him around. I opened the door and got in the passenger seat, "Just take me away," I muttered. 

    She arched her brows but did not ask anything. That was the best thing about our friendship. We didn't force until we were ready to spill everything out. 

    "Seems… you need a lot of time to adjust with your new life." She said. 

    "My feelings, I guess," I said. 

    She swiped her gaze at me, "Love?" She asked. 

    I shrugged my shoulders. Was I in love with him? I didn't know. He was the first of my everything. I felt attached to him. After arousing my feelings, he just disappeared. God knows… where does he live? 

       I stole a nervous glance around. Was it wish to come here? " Oh, don't show you're against your desire here?" She gripped my wrist. 

      "I'm not," I said out loud over the music. I hadn't forgotten his reaction when I went to my father's office. 

      The hall buzzed with countless people. But he seemed to be buried in my mind. I was watching around me people dancing, smirking, enjoying their evening with their special one. I was recently married and I hardly saw my husband. But I could feel him around me. 

      A figure waved at me. I focused on her. I smiled and waved at her. She was wearing a black shimmering mini dress. Her shoulder bag was hanging at one side of her. She smiled broadly and waved again, beckoning me to come to her. I tapped on Aerial's shoulder. She spun with a little frown. 

     "Hi, our old mate Simmy is here. Over there," I gestured to the second side of the dance floor. 

     She followed my gaze and Simmy waved at us with both her hands and gestured again to us to come. Her boyfriend hugged her from behind and kissed her neck. 

      Aerial shook her head, "I'll text her. She doesn't need our company. Maybe later when he would wear her out. I chuckled and nodded. 

       My shoulders bumped in the crowd while getting through. It made me restless. Aerial pulled me toward her, prolonging her arm as she grabbed my wrist. 

       "You don't look ok!" She asked with a frown. 

      I growled and shook my head, "Help me to forget that I'm married," I demanded. I really wanted my old life back. Everything was torturing me. 

      She arched her brows but didn't ask me, why? She grabbed my wrist again and tugged me toward the dance floor. I loved it when I did not want to share until I prepared. 

       I rested my head on her shoulder, "Gosh girl! Did you get in a fight with your king?" She chuckled, saying it out loud near my ear. 

       "No, He's just busy." I wasn't expecting sadness but I could feel it and it sucked. I hated that he had the power to make me feel like this. 

       "Oh! I got the reason behind your sadness. You're missing him." She chuckled. 

       I snapped my head up and stared at her, "I'm not missing him. I just don't wanna be married." I told her. 

       She looked at me with a smile, "I see. There's only one reason to forget your marriage. Look!" She gestured at the troop of some handsome men. They were in business suits and sipping from their drinks. Their eyes were roaming on the dance floor. 

       I deeply inhaled, "I don't want another arrogant person in my life," I rolled my eyes. 

       She grinned, "He's king. It's in his nature. We can't do anything about that. Let's dance. So we could grab their attention." She tugged me further and began to sway her hips. 

        I glanced at my ring. I didn't think anyone would come near me. Aerial was enough to make me forget, I wasn't thinking about the missing part but after leaving his house, I'm missing him more. 

        "Oh, come on," She held my both hands and began to move.

        I just plucked my step to move with her with a smirk on my lips, I felt strong hands around my waist. My eyes widened. I saw Aerial's expression in astonishment. 

        I whirled on my heels. I relaxed. it astounded me, "She's mine for tonight," Aerial curled her arms around my neck, resting her chin on my shoulder. We were the same height, in heels too.
