I tried on the dresses one at a time, with each one more captivating than the previous one. The gentle materials hugged my body's natural contours, as intricate elements shimmered in the light, producing a stunning effect. I spun around and looked at myself in the mirror, wishing to see a hint of love in Jaxon’s gaze. However, his expression remained unchanged as he stood just outside the fitting room, watching me.I put on a different dress and gazed at myself in the mirror once more. Jaxon spoke at last, "This one is okay,it compliments you, the previous one is overly glittery, " he said, pointing to a dress decorated with detailed beadwork. “ It doesn't suit your color”.“Okay….thank you. I said Jaxon chuckled emptily, showing no emotion in his eyes. Simply giving my opinion."Do you think I'm attractive?" I couldn't help asking. "Yes, you definitely are." He replied simply. I felt my cheeks heat up with a combination of frustration and desire, longing to know what his genuine f
I observed their eyes locking in a secret interaction. I felt a sinking feeling in my heart as they vanished into the crowd, leaving me alone and confused about what was happening.I felt overwhelmed by confusion and disappointment, which clouded the magical evening I had envisioned. I was lost in the crowd in the ballroom. I resisted the temptation to monitor them, however, my curiosity prevailed. I was dying to confirm my suspicions by seeing it with my own eyes.Feeling a combination of nervousness and resolve, I quietly moved towards the rear of the ballroom, carefully looking around the poorly lit passageways. When I rounded the corner, my heart skipped a beat as I saw Jaxon entering a small, hidden room with the mysterious lady right behind him.Envy and jealousy immediately enveloped me and I was more determined now to know the truth. As I neared the partially closed door, my steps grew lighter. I gently pushed the door open slightly to listen to their conversation and obse
I woke up with a renewed determination to make Jaxon pay for the hurt of the previous day and I knew exactly what I needed to do to get his attention. I got into the shower, dressed up and came downstairs only to be welcomed with a lovely smell coming from the kitchen.Jaxon had made breakfast and with smiles that were capable of breaking any icy heart,he said “hello Ayla,come have a seat dear,I made breakfast”. I was shocked as this was a new Jaxon entirely different from the man I was with last night. He drew out a chair for me and I sat down as he laid the cup of coffee and toast in front of me.I didn't realize how hungry I really was until I had started to eat and was truly grateful that he had fixed breakfast. “I'll be going out to meet a friend Jaxon” I said to him. He looked at me intently while furrowing his brows. “a friend huh” he asked and I concentrated on my breakfast ignoring him intentionally.I heard the door to the diner open and suddenly there he stood,his eyes burn
…..Ohhh please Jaxon!! "Don't be stupid," I said, my voice a little louder. “After all these conflicting signals, blowing hot and cold, and now this?" I made vague gestures between us. "You are saying all these now after weeks without telling me what exactly you wanted?" I could see the defeated look that shone in his eyes, a stark contrast to his usual bravado. "I'm sorry, Ayla, I know that I haven't been….but…" "But what, Jaxon?" I interrupted him and my anger grew. "There's always an excuse in everything you do,now you are sorry."He ran a hand through his hair, disappointment evident on his face. "I know I made a mistake, Ayla. Believe me when I say I'm sorry for all the arguments we had, for every harsh word I have said,but lately a lot of things haven't been going too well..… It was bad between us he said, standing up, looking me in the eye. “Seeing you here alone with Alex… I don't know, it pushed me over the edge." A pang of guilt crossed my
The lights turned green and he kept on driving all the while silent, the remaining parts of the drive home felt like eternity. So many unspoken words in that silence. After hours of driving we arrived at the private mansion, where he packed the car at the usual packing space. "Thanks for the ride." I said, he muttered some words that I didn't hear all the while avoiding my gaze.I turned to grab my bag and head into the main building, when I heard him call out my name, forcing me to halt in my tracks. I turned around to meet his gaze.He took some steps forward, while still giving a reasonable distance and stopped. "The contract. Do you mind?" "Sure..." I said, searching into the purse and pulling out a folded envelope,handing it over to him."I will be coming to check on our Children" He said while looking at the contents. "I certainly hope you don't restrict me from seeing them.”I shook my head aggressively, refusing to let what he had just said affect me. "Aren't you going to a
In the outskirts of the city, underneath the tunnel, where no one would presume a life would ever exist, I stared into space. It has been months since I was abducted and it was clear that no one was coming to save me .“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Alex asked his gaze on the food I had pushed to the side and refused to eat.“Death is more welcoming at this point than living.” I replied with ease. Alex realized that I had slowly given up and that he would be doing me a favor by killing me. It was clear he didn’t want to kill me, he wanted to make me suffer.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Alex finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Alex was out of sight, I realized that he lacked any kind of human sympathy. It was slowly dawning on me that Alex would be the first person to celebrate my death. At first, I had thought death would be the ult
I observed that Alex had stationed only one guard at the dungeon and I could easily defeat him if it came down to a physical struggle. The day was almost gone and I realized that the guard would be in the dungeon at any minute. I weighed my options, to get out of the dungeon using the key, or wait for the guard to come meet me,but what if he noticed the missing keys before then.Swiftly, I stood up from the chair and dusted off my haggard clothes as they were filled with dust and tiptoed all the way to the entrance of the dungeon. I looked around to know if anyone was watching, but there was no one in sight. I slowly inserted the key into the lock and twisted it open silently to avoid making any noise. My breathing was heavy as I knew that if any mistake occurred and I was caught, there would be serious consequences.Once the lock had been opened, I moved out of the dungeon quietly and saw the guard standing miles away from the dungeon. I was glad he hadn’t heard a no
It was raining heavily outside and the sounds and gentle patter of the raindrops against the window like melodious tunes was accompanied by occasional rumbles of thunder.The air thick with the smell of wet earth, and the trees dancing to the melodious tune of the breeze, making the leaves rustle softly. In the distance, the occasional car horn or siren can be heard, but mostly the night is quiet and still. The rain creates a sense of peace and calm, and the darkness makes the world feel small and cozy.I had made my way into the club. The loud music blasting through the speakers, making everyone sway their hips to its rhythm. I wasn't here to party, I had serious business at hand and there was only one place I could discuss my business; in the inner room.Before I would be allowed access into the inner room, I had to be checked thoroughly by the security at the doors and the moment I gained access, I was welcomed into the smoke filled atmosphere.Beside the window, seve
