Until then, take care. Dad, bye; if you need anything, you can contact me anytime,” I said, and I walked out from there without paying any attention to her scoldings.I started walking on the road without any direction, aimlessly and hopelessly. I have lost everything today. I didn’t feel this hollowness and emptiness even after Xavier abducted me and tortured me. I felt my parents were there for me, and once I go back to them, I can lead a happy life. However, all my hopes, my dreams, my desires, and everything crashed into tiny particles today and mixed in the air in the form of ash. I don’t feel my heart; I don’t want to live.I got two huge shocks of my life on the same day in the same place. I have lost my identity and my family. I didn't pay any attention to my surroundings, and I just kept heading towards nowhere.“Honk, honk, honk." I came out of my thoughts with a continuous car blowing its horns, then looked around. I was at a four-way intersection where cars were coming fro
“Ahh, Xavier. Why have you brought me here?” I questioned him, to which he turned his head in my direction and raised his eyebrows.“What do you mean by that?"“See, after spotting you here, the people who were happily smiling and chit-chatting have to stop everything. It's better if you don't roam around,” I complained and pouted.“Stop pouting; what now? You don’t want them to stand up? "Okay, wait,” he said, turning to them."You don't need to stop. You guys can carry on as per your wish. Forget that I am here,” he said, to which they looked at him with wide eyes. ”What are you looking at? Complete your food before I change my mind,” he threatened them, and hearing his threat, I rolled my eyes at him."No one can change you,” I said.“What do you want to eat?”I glanced towards the cafeteria and said,“Egg, mayo, and cheese sandwich, hot coffee.”“Are you a kid to eat so little?" He smiled and ordered,“Panner roll and bread omelet. One cappuccino.” “If I eat this much,I will beco
“OK, for now, we will appoint her as a junior designer, and I think we have so many professional designers, right? Ask them to make the required changes. Slowly, we will make her get training from the professional designer, and then she can be promoted to another level according to the quality of her work,” Xavier said. After everything was settled, Xavier dismissed Devryoen from there, and I felt happy. He really changed, and my friend Ava is going to get a job. “Xavier, can I have a talk with Ava?" I questioned. “Yes, you can. But remember, Noyt, to talk about her encounter with me or not to reveal anything from our talks,” he suggested, to which I nodded my head and went out to meet her. By the time I came back, he had engrossed himself in work. “Julia, we are going out now. Be ready; someone will be here in a few minutes,” he said. I don’t know whether he is informing me or ordering me. I sighed and nodded my head. After ten minutes, a lady who was around 45–50 years old walked
“You are making me curious,” I said with a smile. “Haha, are you ready to see yourself, ma’am?” She questioned me from behind with a chuckle. “Yes,” I said, and when she was about to remove her hands, I remembered something and stopped her. “Wait, he is the one who wanted me to get drunk, right? So before I see myself, let him look at me,” I said. “Ok, ma’am. As you wish, let me call the master,” she said, and I asked her to take me there as I didn’t want to miss his expressions. They turned me around, and after making sure I was not facing the mirror, she removed her hands from my eyes, and we walked to his cabin. He is working seriously and looking more handsome, making me drool over him. I was shocked to experience the change in my feelings towards him. He didn’t lift his head or turn to me. I coughed to grab his attention. “There is water in the room. Get it,” he ordered without lifting his head, and I got annoyed with his reaction. The woman and her assistant were trying to c
“About me. I want you to know every detail about me. Everything in the sense of every tiny detail,” he said. I felt the sincerity in his words. My heart ached to see him like that.“Say what you want to say. But, trust me, I don’t think it would make any difference to me about you, as I have already seen your devil side,” I commented, to which he kept a poker face, nodding his head.“Bad joke, but you are true. "You have seen my cruel side, but there are still some things you do not want to hear, and I will still say them," he said, and I nodded.Third-person POV:"Who are you? Where is my mom? Why am I here?” A 13-year-old boy was questioned, looking around with fear. After coming back from school, he took some food and felt drowsy. So he slept and by the time he woke up, he was in a huge room, clearly indicating that it wasn’t his home as he lives in a very small home where there are only two rooms.The walls were painted black and red, sending shivers down his spine; the room was f
I never had peaceful days, even with my mother but she never hit me. I know she is rude; she is a drug addict and consumes a lot of alcohol. Even after alcohol had an effect on her and she was not in her right mind, she never raised her hand at me. She only tortures me mentally but when she is in my senses, I would say she is a great mother.The next day, I awoke with a lot of body pains that made me want to miss school, but I forced myself out of bed, knowing that if she changed her mind, I would lose this opportunity, which I did not want to risk. I took a hot shower after making my way to the restroom with the help of a wall. The shower helped me relax and feel rejuvenated, only to realize I had not brought a towel or my dress with me. Even though there is no one else in the room, I cannot go out naked because there is always the possibility that someone will walk in unannounced.I cautiously opened the door to the bathroom just a crack and peered out to see that nobody was there,
My mom was sitting on the lap of another man and that was too naked. I felt uneasy seeing her like that, so I turned around and put the nearby vase on the floor to grab her attention. I heard some movements behind me and I didn’t turn around to know. After a good 5 minutes, my mother came in front of me and looked at me with her bloodshot eyes. “Why are you here?” She inquired abruptly, which caught me off guard because I had anticipated that she would be sleeping or exhibiting another reaction after glancing at me. "Mom, are you aware of her identity? Have you left me where you came from? Are you fine, mom?” I asked her, ignoring the fact that she was sleeping with another man. “Why are you here? Don’t you ever dare to come here?" I am content without you; in fact, I sold you to her for money after obtaining use of you for the first time; in exchange, he gave me money." She then repelled my hand gestures and led me away from the scene. My mind was struck by the word "sell.". "Ins
As a result of my mother's words, I no longer hesitate to confront the darkness that has already enveloped me. Even though she hates me, I love her, and no one can change that fact. I sat there in the darkness, looking into nowhere. I don’t know how much time I spent there, lost in my own world and with my own thoughts.I came out of my thoughts at the sound of someone opening the door. I turned my head to look who it was but when the door opened, I couldn’t take the light so I closed my eyes, and after two good minutes, I opened my eyes and looked at the person who was standing in front of me.“Come, ma'am, you asked me to get you in front of her." The person helped me stand up and when I was standing, I could hear the sound of my bones stretching.“For how many hours am I here?” I questioned him, trying to make my body straight.“Hours? You are here for two days, not hours,” he answered, looking at me pitifully.“Oh,” I muttered, not knowing how to react. I am not feeling hungry or
