WHEN ARROGANCE MEETS PRESUMPTUOUS.

Noises were all going on all around me but I felt like my body was held down by an external force. I sat down in the shadows crying my heart out in sorrow until an old man walked up to me.

**I wiped by eyes with the back of my palm before unwrapping my hand from my chest to help him. "Good day sir can I help you with the load you're carrying? I asked maintaining a cheerful Facade smile.**

**He looks at me in a genuine smile before rubbing his frail and on my cheek. "Dearest child.....you can't help me but I'm here to help you get away from here. He ushered pulling my hand as we walked towards the light beam up ahead.**

**I was confused at his statement but instead of being rude I at his back for quite some time as my breathing became ragged due to internal panic and shock. "Where are you taking me sir?! I inquired furiously but not unkind. "Tell me this Instant or else if you don't I can do taekwondo and I'm going to pulverize you.**

**He glared at me still tightening his grip around my wrist before pulling me hurriedly. "Hey you've got a lot of nerves telling me that because you can't even guard yourself amongst a group of bullies especially with that robust size of yours. He smirked his word hung in the ear and it struck an unfamiliar raging cord in my mind.

At that moment I realised that I was not I'm my body but somewhere between consciousness and coma. "Please are you escorting me to the underworld I've not yet lived my life nor had my first kiss. I pleaded holding his long robe in a fistful manner.

The old man couldn't help but burst into a mocking laughter. "To hell with whatever made you think I'm here to take you to hell. He cursed shaking his head. "You don't belong here child go that's your home and your family are waiting for you kyle and Jules are waiting.

I was so devastated and angry upon realising I was in the hospital bed and my family are surrounding me. "Okay but what about if I don't want to go back again? I asked expecting a judgemental look but yet he stared at me lovingly. "What's the problem grands I've been bullied all my life and there's no reason to keep living not after the shame and embarrassment Jake and his goons put me through.

He exhaled distressed but pushes me into the light beam but I quickly dodged. "You want a first kiss clearly don't you? He asked pointing his walking stick at the light beam.

I smirked folding my arm around my chest in a triumphant expression "i do want that but I won't go back there even if you force me to. I smiled watching him rake his head in frustration.

He glared at me his eyes glinting with mischief clearly reminding me of Jake. "You will go back and you have no say about that. He remarked before hauling me into the light beam.

AT THE HOSPITAL.

I heard tiny sounds of machines beeping rapidly and nonstop. My eyes fluttered open as my brain became aware of my surroundings. It took me a while to realise that I was in the hospital and series of drips were connected to me.when i tired removing the drip needles from my arm the nurse shrieked the sound reverberated in my ear causing a mild headache.

It occurred to me that I had been I a body bag which the nurse was about to zip until I resurrected. Soon afterwards the doctor and my family members were all flooding into the room like the floodgates were open and then they began hugging me tightly before the doctor could say stop.

My mum kissed my forehead as tears streamed down her eyes. "Hey beautiful are you ok do you remember us? She asked in a sad and concerned face.

The frustration of being inside a body bag was killing me and my mum's question only etched concerned and confusion on my mind. "The hell mum what kinda question is that? Plus why the hell am I in a body bag beside what year is this? I asked heading for the mirror.

Mum tried to hold me back but Dad held her tightly preventing her from chasing after me as I head for the mirror. My steps were shaky and almost numb prompting me to think the fall must have affected my structure but I was in for a shock. When I starred into the mirror I was completely different person and then the calender on the wall read 2026 instead of 2023 like expected.

I had thought it was a prank but after staring at my parents and my cousin their saddened expressions gave the obvious answer I was correct. I screamed in a shrieking cry because I had fallen was all I remembered but the main reason I had fallen or who caused it was still a mystery to me.

After a quick checkup I was dismissed from the hospital as my parents said I couldn't stay if the doctor said I was clearly okay. When we got home the surrounding had changed and it turned out we had moved out of our poor neighbourhood as my parents were now one of the richest people on the planet after their business investment had plummeted towards the sky. A huge celebration was held in my honour and a lot of rich social elites were present including the Lancaster family which held the most wealth and connections in the country. My parents didn't seem to give them any listening ear or face as they all shield me away from their presence.

SOME MINUTES LATER;

The party continued for quite sometime making me uncomfortable and restless. I had asked my parents to grant me a permission to cook my head outside in the balcony but they refused insisting that I go with some bodyguards or I sit my ass down.

I wasn't someone to be biased around and something sparked a chord within me and while they weren't looking I snuck out of the party.

However as I was running downstairs towards the elevator I bumped into a handsome looking man. His eyes were grey, his lips pink and pressed into a firm line his height was outrageously tall and gorgeous. His body screamed magnificent revealing his abs and firm hand. He quickly held me by the waist before I could even hit the ground. My breathing became hiked and frantic just by coming in contact with his body.

He stared at me for a second and with a cold but pitifully expression on his face he puts me down on my feet. "Shit! I apologise miss Heather but please be careful and stay away from me. He replied walking into the elevator.

I smirked watching his back with a huge and disgusted smirk on my face. "That's bullshit asshole who the hell and what ever in the world made you think I'm looking for you? I screamed throwing my heels at his head which hits the back of his head. "Excuse me but please stop getting ahead of yourself won't you. I was headed for the elevator when you jackass bumped into me.

He winced in pain his expression dangerous and cold but yet unkind. "What the hell is wrong with you and when did you start cursing? He asked pointing at me angrily. "Get the hell outta here child and for the love of God stay away from me this elevator isn't enough so wait for the next one.

My face darkness and my fists were fold as I stomped my feet angrily. "Mr arrogant I'm using this elevator with or without your consent and I'd advise you to get out of it or let me stay in peace. I command fixing myself into a fighting stance.

I had never been an aggressive individual but for no reason I was all worked up just by looking at this man. His body language and expression seemed quite familiar to me and I couldn't deny the strong attraction and hatred I felt towards him. While we were still arguing I spotted my bodyguards and without thinking I lunged at the arrogant man in the elevator.

The elevator doors closed with the guards banging outside. I looked down to see myself situated on Mr arrogant's laps my face redden in horror and I jerked away. "What the hell is wrong with you? I screamed Pushing him away. "Stay away from me perv!

He stood up before moving close to me. His height towered above mine and his minted breathe creased over my skin. "I should be asking you the same Miss presumptuous but yet again I'm arrogant and a pervert. He replied in a mocking tone. "I'd never have anything to do with you because you're not my type and no matter the surgery you underwent you still ok the same to me.

Anger surged through my vein and in a moment my hand slapped across his face leaving a mark. "You won't speak to me in such tone jackass! I'm not your girlfriend or those whores you sleep with. I cursed pushing him away as I walked outside of the now open elevator.

Outside the building everything seemed unfamiliar and scary and just as soon as I was about to step outside a giant hand grabbed my wrist pulling me towards the garage and into his car.

I turned wondering who the kidnapper was and it turned out to be Mr arrogant. I screamed slapping him across the face as he clasps the seat belts around me.

*What the hell are you doing?! I exclaimed in surprise pulling out the pocket knife Jules had given me. "Answer me or I'll stab you.

He smirked the glared at me before driving the car. "I'm taking you home miss presumptuous. You don't know the location of your house but I do and besides there are cameras everywhere and I can't afford to pay for the kidnapping of the Claus young heiress. He smiled in a cold demeanor making me slump back to my seat clutching the seatbelt.
