Ford just nodded walking to his cabin. He arranged and schedule everything. He kept things around with small notes and walked out of the cabin doing his job perfectly.

He was all engrossed in working when his eyes fell on a box and a black rose with a note. He sat confused.

How did it come here! He thought, but the name tag made him get up from his seat. He walked towards the Archer Cabin. After a Few Knocks, he welcomed him inside.

"Sir, there was a box on my Desk With Your Name!" Ford mentioned placing it on the desk and stood straight watching him.

But whatever it was, it has to be done for Charlotte. Bella looked at Charlotte sitting alone with her juice. Bella steps towards the table taking her seat in front of her keeping her books and bag aside on the table.

"What happened, Why did you leave college and call me here??" Bella asked all in confusion and worry.

"Chill, Babe, Everything is fine, and today we are here for Lunch!!!" Charlotte smiles looking at Bella, making her worry more.

"But !!" Bella tried to protest but Charlotte shut her down with her words.

"Bill is on me, don't worry. Later on, you are going to help with buying gifts." Bella sigh and nodded to her with a beautiful smile on her face. Charlotte smile widely picking Menu. They gave their orders sipping juice.

Bella looked around the people and Cafe when her eyes fell on Charlotte's Father.

"Arlo, your father is here," Bella said looking at Nicholas William. Charlotte turns and finds her father sitting when her eyes shift to another person. She immediately turns and looks at Bella.

"Don't look there, The devil is sitting along with my father." Bella looked at Charlotte in confusion when she realized whom she was talking about. She immediately looks down at her juice.

He was famous and Cruel. There was a rumor that He didn't have a heart and he is living on some machine inside his body.

Irony Right !!!

Soon, their order arrived in a few minutes. They started having their lunch. Bella was eating when her eyes mistakenly fell on Tall Men around in a black suit standing like a statue. Her eyes drifted to the person sitting with Charlotte's father. Her eyes met with his dark one. He was looking at her. She immediately looks at her lunch away from him, finishing it.

Charlotte was done with her meal. Bella slowly Dare to look up again, to look at the person in the same spot. Her eyes met his again. She immediately looked away looking down feeling scared.

They were ready to leave, Charlotte paid the bill. They got up, took their bags and books, and walked out. She held her books closer to the chest walking out. She at once walked out with Charlotte leaving for gift shopping.

After Hour Bella was back in her house. She kept keys in a bowl walking inside.

"I am home " she yelled walking in the hall when her eyes fell on her Mother and father sitting down. She looked at the man sitting on the sofa with Black Suit men around the hall. She felt scared and worried. She has seen those men.

She walked to her parents and her eyes fell on the Devil.

"Ella Come," her mother said looking at her. Bella scaredly walked sitting beside her mother. She could feel her body getting cold because of his continuous gazing.

"Mr. Rodriguez, Please I don't agree to your terms." Her father said looking at him. Bella sat sacredly, nervously. Her mother was holding her hand tightly, scared as if someone would take her away.

"Well, you had my investment already in your firm. Now I want something in return. In fact, I am ready to look after your son's medical condition also. You know I can get it done in return for one thing." She heard him speaking. She didn't dare to look up.

"Well, Miss Beckett Will Decide Now. Archer looked at Bella sitting when she looked up hearing her name. She looked at her father than him.

"You will marry me, Bella Beckett, in exchange for the Investment I have done in your father's small firm and getting your brother treatment by the best doctors." Bella Heartbeat stopped with shock looking at him. She couldn't do this

"Or I will tear your life apart, your family life's without even having a second thought if I heard no from you.

"Well, I guess the answer is Yes." He got up without hearing anything else. He walked grabbing Bella Wrist pulling up forcefully.

"You can't touch my daughter" Yelled Mr. Beckett. Bella was struggling to free herself and her wrist. Archer looked at him coldly. He, Holds her by the waist pulling against his chest. She struggles to free herself from his grip and arms.

"Mr. Beckett, you signed the contract where it was clearly mentioned that I can't take any one thing that I want. I have your daughter now. If you want your daughter back, then pay the double amount I invested. I will leave her." He said holding her wrist dragging her out with him.

"Dad .. Mom!!" Bella Cried but everything was in vain. They stopped out, he dragged her forcefully to his car. Security opens the door for them, he throws her inside. She panicked moving away, stirring in the corner of the car scared of him.

He at once grabbed her wrist and waist pulling her closer to his body. Her hands came in between them on his chest. Her face looking at the other side. She started to cry badly.

"Now, Little one, your Life and your Family life is in your hand. Yes or no will decide everything. If Yes, you will marry me at the end of the week" He said looking at her. She cried more when his Strong grip on her got weak.

He moved away removing his hand from her wrist. It was deep red and now having his handprints. She was sensitive to touches. He took his time to notice while she was crying. She was beautiful, that was all he could see.

She felt his hand on her waist, moving away. She had a chance to move away, she was ready to move when he grabbed her flushing against her chest, her heart was pounding to her ears.

"Little One, wait for it because you don't have any other option than saying yes." She cried when security from the other side opened the door with one gesture.

Archer willed her. And she was free to walk away. But not for long!!

She was standing out, away from him. In tears and red face. His gaze was sending chills to her body. She was scared!!

The door was closed and the car disappeared away. She was lost and solely standing when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped in terror looking at her father standing. The feeling conquered her, and she started crying hugging him.

"I am sorry, Bella," he said hugging her.
