I can't see her in tears. I would rather take a bullet than to see her cry while I'm the reason of her tears. I wish I could go back in time and would have made things better, but now it's too late for that. My hand went to wipe her tears, but she yanked my hand away, making me surprised. She glares at me. This is the first time I witnessed her glaring, but even her glaring was so fucking tempting."I-I have never been treated like a princess. I have gone through worse before you came."I was utterly stunned at her sudden snapping."I know life is not a rose of petals for everyone. It's cruel for some people, which breaks them to such an extent that they just want to leave everything behind. Not everyone has a peaceful fairy-like tale, but I can't just rely on someone else. I know that I need to go a long way to be confident like my sister, but at least I can try, and I will do my best because I don't want this caged life and I know one thing for sure, that being a free bird is better
Eva's POV'"I won't ask anything from you. Do whatever you want, but give me a chance please. Don't love me back, don't show any affection towards me. But don't leave me either. That's all I'm asking from you, butterfly."He kissed my closed eyes lovingly before placing a warm kiss on my forehead. He freed me by stepping away. He sighed before stepping out of the room. I sighed while sitting on the edge of bed. Both my palms were on the sheets. I clutched them tightly."Why now? Why not then, when I wanted to give you a chance and our marriage a chance? Why did you have to break my trust into a million pieces? When I genuinely wanted you to trust me, to believe me. Why not then? Why now?"I sobbed as tears started to stream down my cheeks. The only question that was roaming inside my head was why now? When I wanted to give us a chance.He broke my every imagination, every hope. Just why now? Slipping down the bed, I sat there bringing my knees to my chest. I stared at the floor, which
Author's POV'Vincent went home after he and Luca went to discuss the news. Reaching home, his eyes went to the sleeping figure on the couch in the middle of the living area. A small smile crept onto his lips. That's when he realized that she must have been waiting for him and that's when she fell asleep on the couch."Was she waiting for me?"He asked himself. Vincent slowly went towards her with steady steps. Reaching the couch, he leaned down on her sleeping figure. His fingers went to her wavy hair. His smile faded when he remembered her cut when he opened the door harshly and she got hurt while opening it.The cut was fading, but the memories were fresh for him. His eyes filled with guilt at the reminder. How idiot he was not to believe her innocent pleads. How could he not notice the shining innocence in her beautiful brown orbs? He thought. Taking her delicate wrist in his hand, he placed a loving kiss on the back of her palm."I'm sorry, butterfly! I know I don't deserve your
"Please stop it. I beg you, Vincent."His hand loosened on the pan as his eyes sparkled with something glorifying. When she called him by his name for the first time, his heart fluttered, and he just focused on how she spoke his name with her beautiful voice. He admired the way she called his name.His expression was like he was starved for the day she would call him by his name with her melodious voice. His inner beast was roaring in hapiness. He was too busy to take his hand off the pan. Taking the hint, Eva quickly pulled his hand out of the pan, sighing in relief."What are you doing? Are you mad?'Eva snapped at him, breathing heavily. Eva knew it would hurt him, but she had no choice but to place his burned hand under the tap water. Eva looked at him expecting a pained whimper or something like that, but instead, received a small smile from him.She couldn't believe him after pulling this stunt. He was there standing like nothing had happened with a small smile on his face. His
"Stay with me please.""I can't."Eva declared, breaking both of their hearts. She tried to move away from him, but he refused to do so by holding her tight in his arms."Just for once, give me a chance."Eva remained silent when Vincent inhaled her scent. Waiting for a few more minutes, she finally moved away from him and stood up.She stared down at him, who was staring back at her with disappointment in his face."I-I can't do this. I'm sorry."Saying that, Eva rushed out of their room before she broke down in tears. Eva knew that her husband wanted a new start without any lies, secrets, revenge and misunderstanding, but she wasn't ready for it. She needed time to collect herself. His presence still scares her even if she has started to gain her confidence.For a month she had endured his tortures and insults, which was unforgettable for her. And now she had to bear his crazy obsessive love. She knew that his each and very word were genuine, and he genuinely wanted her forgiveness.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"Vincent scowled at the couple in front of him. It was night time and Eva was sleeping in the guestroom as she didn't want to share a room with her husband yet. When Vincent got a call from one of his guards, he rushed out of his room thinking there was some intruder in front of his house, only to be greeted by his brother Leonardo, who came with his soon-to-be fiancé, Naomi."Where is my sister?"Naomi asked in her calm voice, ignoring his scowl, while Vincent glared at her."I told you that you can't meet her right now, didn't I? I told you that I would bring her to you when I want to. I can't let you meet my wife, at least not yet, so it's better if you go back with your fiancé."Vincent tried to convince her, but Naomi wasn't having it. "Before becoming your wife, she was my sister and still is, so I don't need your permission to meet my sister. Call her right now or else I know how to do it.""Shut the fuck up."Vincent growled at her."This is
"Evv, what are you thinking? Let's go!"When Eva remained silent, Naomi grabbed her hand, so she could take Eva with her. Eva was in deep thoughts. She knew that living with Vincent forcefully wouldn't make her love him, but destroying their marriage wouldn't bring anything good to them either. When Naomi tried to a take a step further, Eva pulled her hand back from her grip, making Naomi to stop on her track and look at her baby sister, who smiled at her before saying those unexpected words."I don't want to leave, Naomi."Eva declared, making everyone shocked by her unexpected response. Eva just couldn't walk away, leaving everything behind and definitely not after that night, which was hard not to think about that night. The night when she lost her virginity to her husband. She had felt a deep connection with Vincent since that night and how he took care of her when they were done.How he cleaned her after their sex and made her sleep in his embrace. She couldn't focus but to think
"Touch her and see what happens."Leonardo threaten him. His voice was dark and scary like Vincent. Naomi grinned at having her back while Eva smiled at how lucky her sister was to find someone like Leonardo.Vincent never saw his brother lose his calm until it came to his woman, which he approves now. Vincent was proud to know that when the time came his brother could take a stand for his girlfriend because, for him as a man, you should never let anyone disrespect your woman, even if it's your father, brother or even your son."That's what I'm trying to tell you, Brother. I don't want to hurt her, and you know that if I lose my temper no one's gonna stop me, not even you, so it's better if you take her back with you and, since my wife has already declared that she doesn't want to leave me either, so better leave.""Meet me later at the boxing house. We have a fight together."Leonardo said with a knowing look, while Vincent smirked at his brother."Sure, brother."Leonardo signaled N
Seven months later!The bedroom was a slumbering giant, quiet and dark. The only source of light was soft moonlight reaching through the window. The shadow of Eva clung to the walls as she got up from the bed way too silently, preventing herself from making any noise that could wake her husband. She entered the kitchen. The only sound was a faint hum of the fridge as she tiptoed barefoot across the cool tiles. Every step felt like a secret, the wood beneath her feet creaking just enough to make her pause and to see if her husband had come around.But she can't blame herself for waking up in the middle of the night because of her pregnancy cravings. That craving hit her like a storm hours ago, a hunger so fierce it gnawed at her and tugged her out of bed. Eva opened the fridge door with a careful softness, as if even the rush of cold air might betray her. The insides are glowing like a treasure chest just like moonlight.Grinning, she opened the ice-cream tub, taking a spoonful of mint
There's a phrase called.'Pain is a silent storm that rages within, unseen by the world but felt in every breath I take.'They lost a baby!But they still had another one!In the hospital's white sheets Eva stared blankly at the ceiling. She was numb to feel anything absorbing the news from earlier. Her heart wasn't ready to accept that they had lost a baby, but she was still pregnant with the other one. Yes, she was pregnant with twins, but their fate took an ugly turn. Her heart pained at the loss, but at the same time it was relieved that she was still pregnant. She was pregnant but she lost the other one. She didn't know how to feel about it.The doctor checked her with a stethoscope while Vincent's gaze remained stuck on her stomach. He was feeling the same emotions as her but showed an emotionless demeanor towards the outer world."It's a phenomenon called 'vanishing twin syndrome'. It wasn't a rare case, as people believe, but who can escape destiny?"The doctor's last words ad
Author's POV'Eva trembled as fear started rising in her when Chloe declared that, and before she could open her mouth to say something, a loud voice could be heard inside the basement."I'll burn down the world, including you, if you even dare to hurt my wife, Chloe."Her eyes snapped towards the source of the voice. She took a breath of relief as silent tears made their way through her eyes."Oh, so you have finally come, my dear son."Chloe stated sarcastically, but my eyes were stuck on Vincent, who wasn't even glancing her way. Her heart clenched thinking he might not forgive her this time for the stupidity she did."Come to the point, Chloe."His eyes remained firm on his mother."What's the hurry, son? We are meeting after so long, and I'm your mother, so don't call me by my name."Chloe's eyes started to turn red in anger when she stated the last line."You don't deserve to be called a mother. In fact, you don't deserve to be one."Chloe gritted her teeth at his words."Watch
"If you want to find out about an important woman in your husband's life, then come and meet me at the given location."I stared at the message in front of me blankly. I was so excited not too long ago, and I was feeling numb not understanding my own feelings. After finding out about my pregnancy, the happiness and incredible feelings which I was feeling was just indescribable. I was so excited to surprise Vincent with this news, but got this heartbreaking message which shattered my heart into pieces.Is this the same woman whom Vincent was taking with the other day?I need to find out about her. It is a necessity for me to know, since Vincent wasn't telling me on his own. We can't move on to our next chapter of life without knowing one's past life. He already knows about mine but me, on the other hand? What about me? Isn't it my right to know about my husband's past life which he refused to tell me about?"Since you won't tell me, I need to find out on my own or else we can't move on
Holding my hair at one side, I continued to throw up in the toilet of whatever I ate this afternoon until my stomach emptied completely. Vomits are the most disgusting thing in the world. I always find them way to hell because it takes all my strength away, leaving me numb and weak. I was feeling so numb that I couldn't even stand on my feet even if I tried, so I sat there until I was able to stand on my feet.I was still feeling that sweet sore between my legs after our last night's session.I'm not complaining though. A tear rolled down my cheeks when last night flashed in front of me."I don't want you again in my life. Do you get that? I'm happy with my wife and don't want any other woman in my life."Whom was he talking about? Is he hiding his past from me? Don't I have the right to know? Did he had another woman in his past, and now she's trying to get back?I sobbed as I felt an immense pain inside my heart when I thought about possibilities. I should trust him and nothing else.
I stared up at him with my glossy eyes while his eyes were still closed as he made his wish with a blow of a candle. I smiled back through my glossy eyes when he opened his eyes, smiling."It's not a good thing to let others know about your wishes, Vincent."I exclaimed softly, trying to control my tears, but unfortunately, one tear escaped from my eye. He chuckled lowly before wiping my tear using his thumb."For me, I wanted you to know my wish."He whispered near my ear, leaning down."Because no one can fulfill it rather than you."I smiled, bringing the cake up towards him."Come on now, cut the cake and tell me how it is?"I exclaimed happily, but he narrowed his eyes in curiosity. I sighed dramatically before saying."Because I made it with my own hands for you."It's my first cake which I baked by the way, but I won't tell him because I don't want to terrify him by telling him it's my first time making a cake. Yes, I have baked before, but they were muffins, not cakes.He shoo

Eva gasped when he lifted her off the ground."What are you doing?"She hissed."Can't you see I'm carrying my wife?"Her heart flattered when he said that. Placing her on the couch, he sat beside her."Is it hurting?"Vincent asked while taking her wrist in his hold. She nodded her head in anticipation."I know it is."He declared while kissing the red spot on her wrist. Her wrist throbbed with an insistent ache, the swelling turning her skin a painful shade of red.As her husband gently kissed the inflamed area, his touch was both tender and soothing. The warmth of his lips seemed to carry a comfort that transcended the physical relief he was offering. At that moment, her pain felt less like an isolated torment and more like a shared experience, softened by his unwavering presence.Her heart swelled with a deep, aching gratitude, mingled with an overwhelming sense of love. Tears threatened to spill, not just from the pain, but from the profound reassurance of his compassion. She fel
As the sun began its gentle descent, the sky transformed into a serene canvas of soft pastel—blushed pinks, mellow oranges, and calming purples blending seamlessly. The air, now cooler than the warmth of the day, carried a gentle, fragrant breeze that rustled through the trees in a soothing lullaby.Shadows stretched long and delicate, dancing lightly on the ground as if playing tag with the fading light. The distant hum of day-to-day life receded, replaced by the quiet symphony of crickets and the occasional chirp of a nightingale.The horizon, tinged with a tranquil glow, seemed to embrace the world in a comforting embrace, promising rest and renewal as the stars began to twinkle softly above. In this gentle twilight, the evening wrapped everything in a blanket of peace, inviting reflection and calm except for Eva. crueltyIt was almost a serene night and there were no traces of Vincent, which was making Eva restless. It was unsettling for her after whatever happened a few hours ago
