I'M READY FOR THIS

AZRIEL'S POV

Right now I'm sitting in living room of KNIGHT MANSION

My parents forced me to come here to see Eliora Knight to fixed our marriage

I admit that she is gorgeous and most beautiful woman I see until now but I want to ask her decision about this marriage bcoz if she is single mother then what happened to her kid's father and did she still loves him

I thoughts break from a gentle voice and I look at the direction of voice

I see Eliora Knight coming in living room and took her son in her arms

I swear her son is really cute and when I first come here and look at him, he was the most cute kids I ever see of course my niece is cute too

Eliora's son's name is Alexander Knight and I really have a feeling to carry him in my arms but I control myself because Alexander is not comfortable with strangers

Eliora come and her mom dad introduce my family to her and she responded in cold voice

But when My sis in law said that 'Eliora you're really beautiful' for sometime I see nervousness in her eyes but she quickly recover and respond in cold

When her mom introduce her to me by calling me her would be husband she was clearly shocked but before she said anything her son started to cry and her dad told her to take him outside for fresh air

"Mr. Knight I want to ask something" I said and he look at me

"No need to be formal please call me uncle" he said with a smile

"Uncle I want to know, did Eliora agree to this wedding" I said and he look nervous

"Actually Azriel she just know about this marriage now and she didn't agree" he said with a sad smile

"Then are you forcing her in this marriage" I said

"No no never we just don't told her" he quickly reply

"The truth is she don't want to get married" his wife Mrs. Knight said

"Then why are you-" Mrs. Knight cutted my words

"She don't want to get married bcoz of Alex, she don't want to leave him and she thought that you'll not accept Alex that's why she don't agree with this marriage" Mrs. Knight explain all

"This is not about Alex, if I'm marrying her then I'll wholeheartedly accept her son but I don't want her to force herself in this marriage" I told them truthfully and my intention

I seriously don't have any problem to accept her son and I'll love him like my own, yeah I'll be little jealous that he is not mine but he is Eliora's son then he will be my son too

I can't be jealous of as kid, who is factory of cuteness

"I'm glad that You're okay with Alex but there's something you'll know in future" Mr. Knight said

"What are you all parents talking about 'you'll know in future' what will I know and why can't you tell me now" I said getting irritated

"Eli will herself tell you" Mr. Knight said

"I want to talk to her" I said bcoz there's many things I want to clear with Eliora

"Ok then go she is outside" Mr. Knight said and I leave to go outside

I come in garden and see her try to calm her son, i walk to her

She immediately feels my presence and turn toward me

"H..hi" I don't know why I suddenly become nervous

She look at me with surprise by my presence

"Hello" she replied in cold

"Whuaa whuaa" Alex start to cry again and her all concentration goes toward her son

"Shhh baby please don't cry, I'm here" I hear her whispering to her son in gentle voice not in cold

But Alex didn't stop crying and start to cry more loudly

"Baby what happened" she whisper tiredly

I know she is business queen and she just come home from work tiredly and got to know about her marriage then her son crying, so of course she must be hella tired

Bcoz I'm myself a Business King and I know how much work I've to do to maintain my business

"Ms. Knight can I help you" I said and she look at me with questionable eyes

But I just forward my hand and carry Alex in my arms and start to rock him slowly

"Hey little man, I'm Azriel" I whisper to him softly while gently rubbing circles on his back

He slow his crying and look at me sniffing

I look at Eliora who is shocked to see Alex calm in my arms

"how are you baby boy" I said to Alex softly

He look at me and his Crying already stop and he start pouting with teary eyes

"What happened to you, why are you crying" I whisper to him and touch his nose with mine

"Hihihi" he giggles and try to touch my face with his tiny hands

"Ohh you like this" I said and again touch his nose with mine

He start to giggles and cups my face and try to push but I didn't move and tickle him more, his laugh is music for ears

"H..how did you" Eliora said with wide eyes

"My brother is also a dad and when his daughter cry too much and sis in law can't handle her so Brother took her in his arms and she immediately stop crying" I said looking at Alex

"Sometime mother's are not enough for child and when child feel comfortable in other's arms they try to understand that feeling" I explain clearly

"But why, bcoz until now Alex didn't like to carried by anyone" Eliora said

"Umm you can take it as a excitement, like when we get something new we try to spend our whole time with that" I reply her

"Hmm" she said in cold

She stay silent but I can feel that she wants to say something but not saying

"Ms. Eliora" I said trying to start the important conversation

"Hm yes" she said in cold while looking at Alex who is playing in my arms

"See I don't want to bush around so I'm directly asking you, are you ready for this marriage" i said seriously

She look at me for few seconds and then look away

"I'm not" She said in cold

"And can I ask why" I said while gently patting Alex's back

She immediately look at me "Are you ready for this marriage" she said

I look at her "i'm ready for this" i said

She looks like she didn't expect me to agree

She look at my eyes and try to find if I'm saying truth or not

"You know what you're agreeing for" she said and her stare is like she can see through me

"I know" I said bcoz now I'm not going to back off from my decision

"So what are you agreeing for" she said in cold voice and eyes

"I'm agreeing for this marriage and become a dad for Alex" I said and look at her eyes

"Even after knowing that Alex is not your child but someone else's" she said and rise her one eyebrow

"Yes" I reply

She stay silent for sometime, and break the eye contact with me

"Mum.." Alex mumble in my arms sleepy

I seriously don't want to part away from this little man, he is really cute

It doesn't feel like we just meet sometime earlier but it's felt like I know him from start and I feel a strong feeling toward Alex

People say love at first sight but for me it's love at first hug and I really love Alex and now he is my son, my blood, my flesh, my heart, my everything no matter who is his father, Alex is mine and only mine

"I agree" Eliora said and I come out of my thoughts

"Hmm..what" I said trying to process

"I agree for this marriage but" she said and give a pause

"But what" I said

"But I need time for this relationship, first we will get engaged and after 2 months we will get married" she said

"But why 2 months" I said, bcoz I really don't want to get away from Alex

"As I said I need time so in this 2 months we will try to understand eachother and if we're not comfortable with eachother then we'll break the engagement" she said making me shocked by her straightforward answer

"But why do you think we will not make it" I said looking directly in her eyes

"Bcoz before you I meet many men and they don't want to become a father of someone else's kid" she said with emotionless face

"So that's why you think I'll change in future and don't like Alex" I said and wrap my arms around Alex protectively

"Yes" she said

"Ok I agree with your condition" I said

"Then let's go inside" here she go again with her cold voice

"Ok" I said and started to walk toward home

"You can give him to me now" she said and try to take Alex from me

"No need I can manage and he is sleeping after so much crying so it's better that we leave him" I said trying to make a excuse

"Ohh..ok" she said and walk beside me
