Candice POV:- ‘Everything is going beautifully well in my life, I never thought my fragmented fate would be so flawless.’ “I can’t believe my fate.” It was a mesmerizing symphony intertwining my heart with Tyler and I want to entangle myself in it more. “I am happy for you.” Rufus replied as we were on call. “I have no intention of breaking this unrealistic life of mine- filled with immense love.” I chuckled. “I hope no one steals this from you.” He said sincerely. How the winds of love are swaying me and blinding me in the sight of adoration, going in the depths of endearment. “I never thought my life would take such an unexpectedly arresting turn. What a turn my life has taken, I have become his after breaking my bonds with the world. I don’t know where this story of love left me but it has become my salvation.” I chuckled, not knowing what nonsense I have been spouting. ‘Ah, ever since our kiss. Everything seems so perfect.’ But, in the midst of an accidental bond forged wi
“And good his type of girls gave him, huh?” I shrugged, standing beside Tyler. “In the end, ‘I’ will become his wife.” I smiled, wrapping my arms around his shoulder. “I was just saying.” She laughed off nervously. “Candice Moretti. I hope this type of girl will remember it.” I mocked with my smile still plastered over my lips. “Of course.” She said with anger burning in her eyes. She then excused herself and left. After she left I sighed and began to mutter. “Tyler, don’t you think I was rude? She was your business partner, I shouldn’t have talked to her like this. I can apologize to her if you say so. Maybe I should. I-” Tyler chuckled and pulled me close, “What? I am serious.” I said angrily. “Candice.. You are cute.” He chuckled again and pinched my cheeks. “Candice… you are my wife. There’s no need for you to apologize to anyone. Here, if you don't speak for yourself, they will trample over you.” He tried to make me understand. I looked at him innocently and gave
Filled with extreme anxiety which evoked a sensation of contempt in me. In the midst of high status people who are ready to judge a low girl’s existence. “This feels like a dream.” I whispered to Tyler.Me, who was never in the eye of anyone is now the center of their discussion and the only thing they have to talk about is-‘How can Tyler marry someone like me?’“You are my dream.” He whispered back. Even though Tyler is a supportive husband, I still feel insecure. I know I shouldn’t pay attention to the words of people but the shred of stupid dignity inside me is hurt by their words.“I still cannot believe I am your wife.” I said shyly.My distressed gaze looked around to see but then I felt a hand over mine. I raised my gaze and saw Tyler, “Me too.”He said sincerely as we began to eat in silence while he was giving my hand an assuring squeeze. My racing heartbeat gradually slowed down. A sudden wave of serenity washed over me. I gained some courage to be myself and not feel i
Tyler POV:-“What’s your name, Miss?” I asked, intrigued, as the urge to know her got the best of me.“Why do you even want to know?” She narrowed her eyes at me in annoyance. “Nothing just..” I trailed off nervously, scratching the back of my neck. She was about to leave but I called her again.“Please. I just want to know your name.” I almost pleaded with her. She stopped in her tracks and turned to me. She sighed and shook her head, “I know you will not leave me unless you know it… Candice.. My name is Candice Whale.” She frowned and left.This memory always brings a smile to my face. It’s a source of salvation for me. “Ah.. It never gets old, George.” I breathed out in mesmerization.“I wasn’t interested in eavesdropping but I couldn’t help but to listen to her talk and when I saw her, I instantly fell for her and swore to make her mine one day.” I mumbled with a smile.“Unexpected turns always come in life.” He smiled and I nodded in response.And now when I have her, I cannot
“P-Please f-forgive me, Mr M-Moretti..” His begging sound reached my ears as my eyes cascaded down to see him crawling beneath my feet. I put my one leg over the other and leaned back, watching my men beating him up.“I-I am so sorry. I-I didn’t know she was your w-wife..” I then took out my gun and motioned my men to bring him close. I brushed the tip over his sweaty forehead, he was breathless, sweat mixed with tears gleamed down. I love indulging in this, every reaction I drew out from each victim, gave me pleasure.“You know what?” I began to say with my voice dangerously low as I moved the gun down to his neck, “I have asked Candice where you touched her..”“I-I didn’t do it on purpose… Please spare me some mercy, Mr Moretti..” He cried, trying to get out of their grasp. I stared down at him devoid of any emotion and put the gun over his hand, “From here…” I whispered and moved it slowly to his neck, feeling the shivers his body created, the horror engraved in his mind.“All
I was stiff upon hearing it. My heart skipped a beat in dread, a shallow breath escaped my lips. “You can’t be serious.” My lips began to quiver along with the terror. I began to pant as tears brimmed in my eyes. What he was trying to say was clear to me and I can’t tell Tyler about my past.‘I am scared. I can’t lose him.’ “How can you say this?” He can’t threaten me for what he promised my Mother to never speak of and now he is blackmailing me for money. He is a devil. A tear fell from my eye as I stumbled back.“Candice is my sister! No need to bring brother Nicolas in every matter!” Rufus yelled. But I, who was lost in the depth of the abyss which held nothing but agony, couldn’t speak or react.“Choice is yours Candice. Either get me the money or tell your beloved everything- what you are not ready to tell because your relationship is on a thin line and can break easily.” My grip on the doorknob tightened, my heart clenched, I closed my eyes as a tear fell on my cheek. I l
Tyler POV:- I was getting ready for work but then I received an important phone call, “Can you close my buttons, Love?” I asked Candice. “Sure.” She smiled and began to close the buttons of my shirt and attend the call. “Hmm. What?” “Sir, About the shipment to Paris-” I cut my informer off. “When I told you there wouldn’t be any shipment for France without my permission then who was dying to let it go?” “It was George, Sir. He gave us permission.” “Do you work for me or him, Idiot!?” I yelled in anger. “We are sorry, Sir. We will immediately stop the shipment.” I angrily cut the call, fuming with rage. “Tyler-” Candice called but I cut her off. “Just a sec, Love. I have an important call to make.” I said and then again called George. “Hello?” His voice came. “What was in the shipments of France?” I asked sternly. He took a pause and replied, “They were normal shipments but…” He hesitated. “But what?” I asked, irritated. “They wanted to allow the trade of guns.”
I decided to not think about it and let things go with their flow. ‘We will see what to do in the future.’ I then called our clients who had an insect of uneasiness inside them and told them about the place for a meeting and it was my favorite place; the port. We all were in a yacht as I said, lighting up my cigarette, “Hmm. What do you want to talk about?” “I’m James, the representative of Ms Julia; The Dark Queen of Paris. She wants to form a deal with you and increase the supply of your guns in Paris.” He began to say. And I have no interest. “We need the urgent supply of weapons and you are the only person capable of exporting this. That why-” “Alright, I’ve heard enough. First, if you need me urgently then go and ask your Missy to contact me directly, not by sending her dogs.” I muttered, exhaling the smoke. “I don’t like being mocked and Second, Nothing from my stock would be smuggled to Paris. Keep it in your mind and Get out.” I said nonchalantly. “You have to make
2 Year Later “Come here.” I held my hands out to my two years old son Peter Moretti. He grinned and hugged me. I picked him up and turned my attention to Kathrine who was laying on the couch with her face covered and groaning. “What happened?” I asked, chuckling at her. We are living together in Amsterdam. “You know what that loser was saying? He called me a witch!” She complained about her boyfriend. “Did you two get into a fight?” I asked, putting Peter on the baby chair and getting his food. “Ah, leave it. How was your work?” She asked, turning to me. “Fine as usual.” I replied, feeding Peter. I completed my graduation and began to work in a school as an English teacher. “Hmm…” I smiled sadly, looking down. I think a part of my soul is dead, no matter much how vibrant my life is, but the devoid ate me up.l Leading me back to the day I lost Tyler, the indescribable pain of it will never cease. “What are you thinking?” Kathrine asked. I quickly wiped the tears whi
Present With a sharp inhale, I cautiously looked at Candice who listened to everything intensely. With her beat at abnormal pace with agonizing thoughts wreaking havoc to think about her reaction to know about everything. Because I could feel the stamp of a stalker is going to be engraved on me. Hands and feet cold due to stress, wanting to speak something but no words came out in the anticipation of dread. Gulping down the overflowing apprehension, I scrutinized her form, impatiently waiting for her reaction. Curling my toes in vexation, losing my senses by each passing second. Get ready to face another upheaval, Tyler. Mentally preparing myself, I called her slowly, “Candice…” With a sigh, she looked at me with no expression, “So you have been controlling my every movement all this time.” “Candice… I ...I…” Letting out a scornful laugh, she shook her head. “My life Tyler... was never mine.” “You know what I was?” She hissed, all her jeering faltering and replacin
I got angry at her for something she never did, fired her and started everything with hate as instructed, how the boxes were secured perfectly in the place they were supposed to. Everything was going pretty well but I couldn’t take it anymore. I don’t want any hostility among us so I asked Christian to host a dinner. And call both me and her to end this detest and invoke the emotions I was dying all this time for- love. But after planning everything, keeping her away from the relationship, she got engaged and it pissed me to no extent. Knowing Candice never had a lover, I knew instantly that she is forced into the marriage and how can any outsider harm her in my presence? I want to know how and where this guy Leon came from, when she never had a lover then how can a fiance come in between? No, I can’t let this happen. After all these years, I can’t let them go to waste. “W-Who are you?” Leon asked, crawling back fright, his back hitting the wall while I kept his Parents ho
“I will call Henley.” I said, taking out my phone but his grip tightened. “No! I won’t go. You know darkness scares me.” He mumbled. “Okay, wait here, I will be back.” I told him, nodding, he clanged more. Before I could do or say something she came out and I cannot let this chance slip out of my grasp. “Hello.” I called her. “Yes?” ‘And this yes was enough to captivate my heart.’ “What’s your name, Miss?” I asked politely, intrigued knowing Christian is still lingering on my arm. “Why do you even want to know?” She narrowed her eyes at me in annoyance. “Nothing just..” I trailed off nervously, scratching the back of my neck. She was about to leave but I called her again. “Please. I just want to know your name.” I almost pleaded with her. She stopped in her tracks and turned to me. She sighed and shook her head, “I know you will not leave me unless you know it… Candice.. My name is Candice Whale.” She frowned. “I’m-” Before I could speak she rolled her eyes. “I d
3 Years Ago:- I was in Christian’s office, trying to cheer him up after Merlin; his ex-wife cheated on him. He was lost in the deepest depth of misery and gloom and I have been trying to lighten it. When I can’t support him in his harsh times, then who will? “Richard, Where are the files I asked about?” His stone-cold voice came, addressing his assistant Henley. “You are not spending another night here. Go home.”She said, putting the files close to her chest. “Which home? That mansion is a desolate place now.” He snarled while I watched him, pitying his condition. “But you can’t run away from that and hide here.” She argued. Raising my index finger, I gained their attention and turned to Henley. “No matter how much of a drag Henley is, she is right about it.” I said. She gasped, “What do you mean a drag? I have never annoyed anyone.” She said firmly, pushing her hairs behind her hairs, smiling. I chuckled, “Yeah… I am kinda used to it.” It made her frown. “Hmph… Sir
Tyler POV:- I was playing piano for my sweet sister and loving wife, the melody released directly from my heart as the lyrics reached them to the core to let them know how I feel about them. Smiling they both looked at me with extreme elation overflowing in my heart. When I have them beside me, I find my life completed, holding my heartbeat captive is their one gaze. Watching my world right in front of me, desiring nothing but to live there for the rest of my life, existing for her only. “Aww… Look how he is looking at you, Candice.” Kathrine grinned, pushing her by the shoulder, increasing her blush. Covering her face in shyness, she looked down. “You two are my world.” I said. Kathrine’s mouth gaped, I rarely expressed my love for her but the brief moment meant everything. Curling her lips in a smile and she nodded, “Mine too.” She whispered. “And now these two too!” She chirped, turning to Candice. “I am so excited to become an Aunt.” She grinned. “Candice.” I c
We sat down, “So what do you do?” I asked, Kathrine. Since I know nothing about the sister of my own husband. The woman whose name was unknown to me a few minutes ago. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel tensed to fathom I know nothing about Tyler's life, his family. No in-depth detail of it but his devotion towards me never made me feel left out. “I am a Lawyer. I live in Amsterdam. I couldn’t come because of my case. It took a while but here I am.” She told me. I hummed and asked again, She can help me, Kathrine… for how long Tyler has been talking about me?” I asked. “Hmm?” She held her chin, lost in thoughts. “After Lydia’s betrayal he was heartbroken.. After her death.. Hmm. Two years… No, for three years.” She replied. Left flabbergasted, my lips formed a thin line, how many secrets am I going to know in one day. And damn you Tyler, come home, I will see you. How can you hide the fact you love me for all this time!? “He was so scared to start a conversation with you
Candice POV I was in the park, indulging in my walk with a smile not leaving my lips but then my eyes fell upon my manager from Amber One. Shit, I gotta make a run for it but before I could run away his voice came and he saw me. I clicked my tongue, not wanting to see him remembering my first meeting with Tyler where he got me fired! I turned to him and smiled faintly, “Hello, Sir.” “Ah Mrs Moretti. How are you?” ‘God, how his way of talking has changed.’ “Fine, you, Sir?” I asked, rather nervous. “Great… I can’t believe Mr Moretti actually married you. I thought it was an infatuation.” Knowing how talkative and straightforward he is, he spouts whatever comes to his lips. I raised a brow but he continued to smile which made me uncomfortable and- Wait, a minute. ‘Infatuation?’ “What do you mean, Sir?” I asked. “Oh, he must have told you about his love at first sight. I have seen him quite a few times, staring at you, haven't you?” He teased and to say I am shock
“I love you.” I murmured on her neck and turned her to me, putting my hand on her waist and turned her around. “I will love you till my last breath.” I said. Spinning her, smiling into her radiance which evoked unavoidable attractions in her heart, swaying me in the winds which hold her love. Flowing in the river of fondness, endearing her inch into me, living into this moment eternally without caring about the tomorrow. “And I shall love you with my core.” I spun her again. Captivated by the sight and the effect of my keen gaze, she was intoxicated. “I love you more every moment.” I whispered, placing a kiss over her neck. Laughing into the light, she was spellbind and I was lost in the city of her heart. “That’s why.” I spun her for the last time and abruptly pulled her to me, holding her back and continued. “Forgive me.” I kissed the tip of her nose and took a step back. I bend on one knee, offering her my hand . She took it sheepishly as I began to say, “Cand
