To The Straight Path.

Chapter 23.

The day went in a blink and it was the next day, reception day. It was around 8 pm and Eira was fully ready.

She was setting her hairs when Alex entered the room. She looked back at him and both of their breathings stopped.

Honey and dark blue met and the moment felt forever. They got lost in eachothers eyes as if everything got blurred around them.

"You are an absolute defination of breathtaking." He whispered after a really long pause.

She came back in her senses and coughed loudly.

His heart was betraying him everytime, whenever he thinks he will ruin her instead he get ruined by her beauty.

She started blushing at his compliment. She was indeed looking breathtaking.

Her outfit was upto to the mark and with her open hairs were like cherry on top of cake. Even though she would wear her hijab eventually but for now he was mesmerized by her beauty.

"You aren't that bad either." She commented back earning a chuckle.

"Something you are bad at." He teased making her confused, he took a step towards her making her heartbeat to go crazy.

"And what is that?"

"Complimenting your husband."

She chuckled and turned around thinking of doing a braid.
He again took a step towards her and stood behind her, her scent filled his nostril taking him out of the world.

She was looking at him from mirror.

He took her hairs in his palm feeling that soft touch. She got stiffened on her spot making her heart beat to raise.

He gently kept all of her hairs on her left side getting a clear view of her bare neck. He touched the side of her neck making a shiver ran down her spine and getting the goosebumps.

He was aware of her condition.

He moved his index finger from the side of her neck down to her shoulder feeling the warm and soft skin of hers.

Within in a swift he turned her to face him and pinned her to a wall keeping a knife on her throat.

Her breath hitched due to the sudden action.

"Eira, I am asking you first and last time who are you? What is your real identity?"

"Alex, stop it. Stop doubting on me every single time you get a chance."

He saw the hurt in those honey brown eyes.

He started laughing making her more confused. He removed the knife and kept it on her palm.

"I was just teasing you."
He totally changed his topic.

She looked at her hand and back at his face.

"It's yours." He spoke after a second referring to the knife she was holding.

Her eyes widen and she looked at it keenly touching the sharp edge of it. It made her smile.

"Look at it carefully."

She looked at it carefully and saw an E letter on its handle engraved and filled with gold.

"It's beautiful."

"I know right"

She looked up and started blushing really hard. He was looking at her instead of the knife and the compliment was to her.

He leaned down towards her and pecked her left cheek making her heart to skip a beat.

"I'll be waiting for you downstairs." He said casually and went down.
