"Shoot"
He ordered his man and a shooting sound reached my ear before everything became still.
My ears started ringing and my head started spinning. The man holding my throat left me and I slumped on the ground gasping for air. My eyes were closed and I was trying to feel any kind of pain or bullet in my body. But I wasn't feeling any except on the throat that was in the tight clasp of a monster a few seconds ago.
My heart was still beating and the way I was gasping implied that I can still breathe.
I opened my eyes at another gun shoot to find the man who was pointing his gun at me lying on the ground, a river of blood was flowing out of his head. His eyes and body were lifeless.
A shriek was ready to erupt out of my throat and deafen others but it died in my mouth as soon as it emerged. I became completely numb looking at the pool of blood and the deceased man lying in front of me.

I ignored the feeling and took a step ahead.And boommm............My world stopped for the moment and breath hitched in my throat. I was waiting for the pain to hit me but it never happened. The bullet passed from my left side, though it was just a centimeter apart. Just one centimeter to my left and I would have opened my eyes in hospital or hell as I have done nothing to go to heaven.I instantly whirled around at my place to face the devil itself. His gun was towards the ground now. There is no need for a gun to kill me though as his eyes are already shooting bullets at me. The surroundings are so silent that I could hear my own heartbeats.He took a slow and small step towards me with his menacin

I snuggled more into the clouds to feel heaven.But then I realized that I am not into heaven but in hell. I opened my eyes to see the devil sitting on the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers. His expressions were neutral and his eyes were unreadable as always. He was looking at nothing in particular. It seems like he is planning the murder of someone.What a lovely starting... Isn't it?I tilted my head to see the time and it is 10 past 6 in the evening.Oh my God! I was sleeping for the past 19 hours. Wasn't that too much?"Finally!

Elena's POV His lips were getting closer and closer and with every inch, heat rose in my chest as his smell hypnotized me. And before I could react his lips landed on mine and my heart thump in my chest like a frog jump on a muddy bank. The time stopped the moment his lips touched mine, but the thumping of my heart only intensified. I could not feel anything except his soft lips placed over mine. And hey why I am not pushing him away? How could I let him kiss me like this? This is not right. With this thought, I moved my hands up and placed them on his chest to push him but instead of pushing him away, I found my hands pulling him to my side. I know this is wrong then why is it feeling so right? My brain wanted to push him away but deep inside I wanted him to move his lips against mine.

Is everything fine?" Raphael asked when he found his wife low in energy. "I just get tired of running behind the culprit all day long" she answered him. "Culprit?" His eyebrows knitted in confusion "When did you join the police?" He asks still standing on the door. "Your hundred culprits can not complete my one as mine is no less than a terrorist" Raphael was still confused with the words of his wife, this is when she took a step aside to show him the actual culprit. The little terrorist was smiling up at him, showing her tiny and white teeth, while he looked down at her in pure admiration and love. "Ohh!" Raphael now understood why his wife was so irritated.

Elena's POV "How long will you take?" My mother asked getting all irritated. "Just five minutes more!" So today is the biggest day of my life as I am going to get married to the man of my dreams! The anxiety and nervousness are at their peak. My palms and feet are numb and my head is so full of thoughts that I can't think anything specific. The only thing that my heart is chanting like a mantra is that every time this day should not turn out to be a dream. I want it to be a reality. Strong emotions have overpowered me, making me feel surreal. We have kept the wedding very simple as our families are small. My family has arrived two days back and Raphael has invited a few of his colleagues to attend the wedding. The decoration is very modest because both of us have decided to spend money on a world tour instead of doing unnecessary expenditure on the wedding. "Bui, daddy is

Elena's POVIt is been three days since the doctors have discharged Raphael. That day he kept waiting for me but I didn't go to meet him. I am still not able to muster enough courage to face him.In fact from the day he has come to the home, I am just ignoring him, trying to avoid eye contact, refraining myself from indulging in any kind of conversation.Today, at the time of lunch he was sleeping so I and Mimi had lunch together. I woke up from a siesta when I felt thirsty. I checked my bottle just to find it empty. I walked towards the kitchen to refill it.As I was crossing the hall I saw that Raphael's room door was open. I peeped into it slightly and found him having his lunch on the bed. He was struggling with the food because of the bandage on his right shoulder. He was trying to eat with his left hand.After giving it a thought, I decided to go into his room. The ignoring game is not going to work for long.He

Elena's POV Shock is a very small word to express what I am feeling at present after looking at the completely changed demeanor of Raphael. I never thought even in my worst nightmare that he can trade his mother for money and love. This is not the person whom I loved and if this is his real face then I am not going to accept him in any way. I flinched at my place at the gunshot and snapped my head in the direction of the voice and found Xaphan standing there with a gun pointed towards the sky, firing in the air. He was looking drunk as his eyes were bloodshot red and his knees were wobbling. He was not able to stand still on his feet. He yelled like a beast and pointed his gun towards Lucifer. "How dare you?" He roared, clasping the gun with both hands and making the balance. "Put the gun down, Xaphan" Lucifer instructed. But he was too high to give heed to anything. He was looking thirsty fo
