Irene’s POV:“f**k!!” I said as I threw my hand bag on the ground. “f**k him!” I cursed him again. My heart was beating so fast. And I was so furious. I didn’t remember being this furious ever. I really wanted to punch him. It was for the best that I walked out when I felt out of control. “What the f**k he thinks he is,” I hit my study table with my leg. Immediately, the book fell down. And I didn’t bother myself to carry them up. I was lying to the whole campus. Just because of the damn contract. And what did they do? Suspect me? I was the person with such confidential information. If I wanted to ruin his career. I would have done it so far. But I didn’t. In fact, I was never gonna do this. No matter how rude and cranky he was, I had my morals. I was never taught to cheat anyone. Let alone, ruin someone’s career. He was being so selfish by talking to me like that. He never cared about anything except his own image right? This was just a contract. A deal. To be his. In front of e

Everyone was expecting a romantic one from me. Even if I wanted to, there was nothing I could write about it. Because I was clueless. What love is?

Kian’s POV:My head was light. When I arrived home. Taking a quick shower, I laid on bed. It was comfy but it lacked the familiar scent of her. My stomach was full . I was surprised at how the tea managed to vanish all my pain. I was tired. And this tiredness had a long history. My eyelid felt heavy and my body drifted into sleep.After a very long time, I slept really well. When I woke up my eyes weren't hurt by some rays of sun peeking into my room. It felt nostalgic and refreshing. I Woke up, and went downstairs. Noah smiled as always he did, this time I also replied to him with a warm expression.“Would you like to have breakfast?” He was respectful.“Yes, pancakes. Your special one. With maple sauce,” he looked happy? I didn't know but definitely he was not expecting. I didn't remember the last time I had breakfast other than a coffee.“And coffee?” He asked.“Uhh, no. Can you make herbal tea?” his face scrunched at my sudden command.“What kind of herbal tea would you like to ha

Irene's POV:“Woah, Professor Matteo shocked all of us,” Ben’s voice was surprised.“I am just thankful.” I replied.“He seemed to have a soft spot for you,” he said monotonously.“Soft spot? I don't think so. Maybe he was just not feeling like punishing anyone today,” I guessed.“Yeah, that could be…anything .”Actually I was uninterested in that matter. My mind was somewhere else. I was not worried, just confused. About thousands of useless thoughts were roaming in my head. The door knocked and I opened it immediately,“Hey!” Raven greeted me warmly.“Hi”He gave me the food package. I took it,“Sorry, I couldn't come tomorrow,” he apologised“It’s okay,” I smiled.“Did everything go well with him?” He asked sheepishly.“Yeah, but he had a headache,” the information I provided him was not necessary. “Oh, migraine. He doesn't listen to me when I tell him to stop drinking the coffee,” his tone was annoyed.“He seemed stressed. I made him a herbal tea. He looked better. We had dinner

Kian’s POV:I had took a week off from all the work. I felt fresh and active when I came back. Well, all of the other short projects were running and Raven was supervising them, efficiently. The habit I had of herbal tea wasn't very bad. It wasn’t addicting. Just one cup a day. Not that I wasn’t drinking coffee at all. But the amount of the cups was considerably reduced. I was reading news on my Ipad, when I heard someone knock. “Come in!” I said.“The door opened and I saw one of my assistants coming towards me. “Sir, Mr. William is here to see you,” she said and somehow she looked pissed. “William Tatte?” my face scrunched as I couldn’t remember scheduling any meeting with him. She nodded in response.“Okay! Let him in,” I said.Within no time, the assistant went out. And I saw Willian Tatte appearing from the door. He nodded silently and took the seat in front of me. “I could’ve said ‘what a pleasant surprise’ if it was. Your face doesn’t look pleasant,” I joked as I saw his

Kian’s POVI was a bit worried when the door didn’t open after the third timeI knocked. So I called her name. I heard nothing from the other side. Before I could knock again with a bit more force. The door opened, a little aggressively. I saw her standing in front of me. “What were you doing? I was-,” as my eyes observed a bit more she was panting and there was bruise on the side of her lips. I forgot what I was saying. “Kian,” her voice was breathy and quivery. I didn’t like that. The way my heart thumped like it was coming out of my chest at the sight of her reddened eye due to the pool of tears in there. Her breath hitched again. And the overloading of tears, came out of her eyes. I blinked softly. I took a step forward. I felt her hitting my chest as she shoved her body into me. Wrapping her arms tightly around me. Her face hid in my arms. A loud sob left her body. As she let herself loose. My arms came behind her back. Her body was trembling now. I was totally clueless of what

Irene's POV:Expectance. Predictions and estimation of the future are all false lies. Never say never.Once, the twist of events happens and you see shifting of stories, turning of tables. The least you expected to happen would happen. It is maturity to not assume the ending from the starting. I never knew how my life would fall apart and would take turns until my mother died. I never would have made friends until Ben came into my life. I thought it would never end but I was informed it never existed. the Stiffness of my heart felt as I came home. Made me think, I am over it. I won’t cry, an actI hated the most. But I burst and felt as if I was just a running water body at the sight of him. The first interaction with him felt like the most humiliating event. The most cold person I have ever met. But I betrayed myself, just by predictions.

A lot of things happened last night. But it ended. The dark night ended. And I woke up, with her in my arms. The sight was heavenly. Her skin was translucent. She slept like a baby. Like she didn’t cry so much last night. Sun was peeking through her window. The bed was small, but I was unexpectedly comfortable. My body felt so light. And I realised how tense it was. I needed that. I needed to Loosen myself up. By sleeping beside her?Tucking her hair behind her ear, I got a clearer view. She was still sleeping. A glance at the wall clock told me it was eleven.
