Pei Shangdi contnued to hold her for some minutes. His plan was to abduct her like he had suggested. Afterall his assistant had told him that a quicker way to get to a womans heart was to follow their instructions.
If she wanted him to abduct her then he would. If she wants him to bring her someones head, she would gladly do it.
He could feel Abenas tiny arms wrap around his waist, and he heaved a sigh of relief. He who feared nothing in this world, who has no regard for anyone else but her, was suddenly starting to get scared.
If she were to ever leave him, if she were to not stay by his side, he didn't know what he would do.
Maybe he would really turn to the psychopath she had thought he was.
Abena slowly pushed him away and he reluctantly let her do so. Her hands on his chest, she could feel the rapid drumming of his heart against his rib cage.
"Mr Pei, exactly what do you want from me? You cant have fallen in love with me just because we slept together once right?"
The man shakes his head, his hand moving towards her face. He cups her face with his palm and replies. "I have always liked you."
"But we just met." Abena counters. Unless he was willing to admit that he really was the big brother she knew at the orphanage.
The man had a rare smile on his face. Faint yet beautiful. His thin lips curled slightly and his deep dark eyes seemed to sparkle despite the little light that was in the cinema. The scar on his lips appeared faint and she had to squint her eyes a little to get a clear view of it.
"Does it matter? Does time matter in love?" He questioned bringing his left palm to cover hers that was sitting on his chest. "Nothing matters, except you."
He sounded so sure of himself that her heart started to beat faster again. She licked her lower lips and nods her head.
"Thank you for taking a fancy to me." She withdrew her hands from his chest and placed them behind her back. With an expression that showed she was confused she began to explain. "I had intended to sleep with Pei Fang because I want to marry rich. Technically you can call me a gold digger. I am glad that you have feelings for me and you think I am worthy of your love, but I dont know to engage in things that already have a predictable ending."
"Whatever you were planning to do with Pei Fang, you did with me. He doesn't matter." His voice was calm and collected as if he was trying to surpress his usual tone and not scare her. "With me, you wont be digging for gold. You will be a diamond digger." A chuckles escaped her lips and she wondered if he was just helplessly in love or just slow witted. "Predictable ending? I am not sure I understand."
They had been standing for a while now, so Abena had to shift her weight to the other leg. The urge to look back and check the door was getting stronger knowing that she might reject him here and he could just decide to kill her. Afterall if he were to do, who would even blame him. He has both money and connections. In a short word, he is the perfect example of power. Some people even say that, the Pei family are actually with one ruling the country.
Only an idiot wouldn't know that Pei Shangdi was the 'pei family' people referred to.
She was never interested in him in the past and she hadnt cared. She had Pei Fang who was her age and good looking. He was also rich and kind hearted, so whenever people talked about his cousin who was an ice block, she was never interested in it.
"I am not from your world. I come from a poor background and my mother married rich. To be precise, she wrecked a home and made it hers. I am definitely sure someone from a background as dinstingused as yours would prefer to be with someone of similar backgrounds."
Pei Shangdi understood what she was saying and pulls her arm, placing her small hands in his, he confidently responded. "With me, you dont have to worry about things like this. Stop watching too much drama."
"What about your parents?" She probes. "I am definitely sure your mom especially wouldnt want this for you." She was trying to get rid of his advances without making it look like she was the one who wanted to reject him. She wanted it to seem like she didnt have a choice but with the way the man was reacting and his calm demeanor, she had no choice but to bring in the parents
Pei Shangdi chuckled. A low sound yet it filled his gut and seem to reverberate around the cinema. His hand rubbing hers, he assured her. "With me, you don't have to worry about my parents too."
Abena wanted to scratch her head but her hands were in his. She bit her lower lip and thought of other ways to dump the man without leaving the cinema as a dead woman. The only options that came to her were oned that would get her killed.
She could either decide to cheat on him or she could tell him that shewis in love with someone else.
"Actually...Mr pei…"
Pei Shangdi didnt let her speak before hurling her onto his shoulders and began to walk out of the cinema. Hes would not give this little woman the chance to reject him without even giving him a chance.
Abena whose blood wa starting to rush her face wished she could find a clothe to cover her whole face. As they were now outside the cinema, where people whispered amongst themselves, she caught a glimpse of Pei Fangand gave him the middle finger.
"Mr Pei...you can't do this. Let me down first." But the man was adamant and didnt let he go till he got he into the car.
Sitting in the luxury car, she couldn't stop herself from glaring at him.
