She entered the room, and the next moment she was thrown on the bed and he hovered over her pinning her both hands above her head. "What... are you doing?" she stammered, her voice shaking as she looked at him. His messy hair and red eyes radiated anger. "Why did you let him fucking touch you?" he growled, his gaze locked onto hers, demanding an answer. "He just... held my hand," she replied quickly, trying to suppress his anger. "He didn't just fucking hold your hand; he touched you for fucking 35 seconds!" he shouted, his voice echoing with disappointment. For a moment, she feared that she had lost him, that he would never trust her again and leave her, just like her family had. Next second his rough lips captured her soft lips in a kiss, with each deep suck on her lips he erased her insecurities devouring her mouth like graveman. The kiss was not the soft one it was rough, dominating and possesive one as if conveying his sadness, ownership and love. "Strip" He asserted in his deep dominating voice. "You too mister" she said in low yet determined voice showing her rights, ownership and dominance over him. 。⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠。。⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠。。⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠。。⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠。 "why are you doing this? " She said sobbing badly. "I want you anyhow," he said in a cold tone. "I was going marry him," she said helplessly. "That's the reason dove, I am going to marry you " He casually asserted. "But why me? " She whispered leaving her remaining hopes. "I am not answerable to you," he said in a harsh tone.

-- PROLOGUE "Let me get this straight. We have nothing in between us, except for the deal we made that day" he spoke in a monotonous tone. "I am the one carrying your name behind me; we are married. how can you say we have nothing in between us? Huh" She yelled at him, tears blurred her vision, and she spoke her heart to him. "For god's sake, this marriage was to save you! Can't you get that? I did not do it willingly, I do not love you!!" He yelled back at her, shattering her heart into pieces. "Why can't you just love me?" She spoke, as she cried the tears of hurt, and pain. Her heart thumped loudly due to the shivering sensation She felt all over her body. "I never made a commitment to you, or gave you any false hope, neither did i say that i love you. Did i?" He asked her, in a very cold tone. She looked at him through her teary eyes. It's getting difficult for her to even breathe. "It was your eyes, the damn eyes. Who gave me the false hope. They say, "Eyes speak the truth," but what about mine? Couldn't you feel the sincerity within them, expressing my deep affection for you? Why didn't you see the love shining in them? Was it too complex to understand? Couldn't you notice the warmth as they gazed at you? They search for you in every corner, If only you realized how they silently echoed the emotions I couldn't articulate. They say, "Eyes never deceive." But what about yours? They played a trick on me when they met mine, painting a facade of a world that wasn't real. They made me feel loved, Leading me into a belief that crumbled, louder than your spoken promises. Why did they betray me? Was it your eyes or you that masked the truth?" He stayed still, not moving or saying anything at her statement. --

Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum. Suddenly, he leaned in closer, his face inches from mine, and...

Battle. Blood. Entertainment. That's all she had known. This was the reason she was born. Her destiny. She was told to fight, to kill, to hunt for the rest of her life, to entertain those that paid. Not wanting to be told what to do any longer, she decided to leave and find friends to explore the world with. And where else to begin that search than with the Hunter Exam? ↜♡❖♡↝ This is a Killua Zoldyck X fem!Reader story ^///^ !Kind of a slow burn, but filled with lots of fluffy moments! !TW! Mentions of blood, gore, fight-scenes, death, etc. If you are uncomfortable with any of these things, this might not be the best story for you to read! In case you didn't read any of my other books: -My first language isn't English (it's German), so there might be spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, etc. (feel free to point them out :D) -My writing improves as the story goes on! I really hope that I can make this story into something that you'll like, so just give it a try, I guess? If you don't like parts of my story, you can always tell me, but I can't guarantee any changes. !Do not copy / rewrite this or any other of my stories!
