Slamming the text books on the table that Adonis sat on the chair while growling like a varmint. Rubbing his temple he looked at his friend who he had forced to go with him to abroad."Fuck these exams. I'm going to drop this college" Ethan said while scrunching his face to show his displeasure and annoyance to his friend who looked at him with a 'I don't give a fuck' look."If you study, then you'll pass. If you don't then you will fail. Remember if you want to be successful in the future, you've to work hard now" his friend's advice did nothing to him as Ethan rolled his eyes at Kevin."C'mon man, chill out. I'm sure as hell you are going to get gray hair because of the way you use that peanut sized brain of yours. Give that little thing some time to enjoy" he taunted his own friend while Kevin shook his head as it's not a new thing. That's how their friendship is, one is a Bookworm, loves studying and enjoy his own company while the other, a complete opposite. An handsome, extrover
The next day went by in blur. She cooked, they ate together, he went to work, he came back at night, his little warnings and at night they slept. All day and night Jasmine was disturbed. She couldn't find any idea to save herself from that needy demon, who wants pound on her whenever they meet. Even though he didn't cross his limits as he promised but that skin-crawling gaze and that lustful eyes were enough for her. Jasmine's body shuddered with horror when she recalled his words. It's tomorrow. What will she do? She couldn't make her mind accept to it. That poor lass doesn't want to be touched by a murderer but there's no other way for her to choose. He had successfully trapped her in his golden cage and only he can get her out of it which he definitely wouldn't."God! Pl-Pleass have some me-mercy on me. I-I'm under you mercy." She cried out while looking up. Sitting on her knees, Jasmine placed her both palms together,"God, I've put my faith in you. Sh-Show me the way I should
Standing on the spacious balcony, Jasmine stared at the night sky. Her facial expressions weren't sync with her thumping heart. Only she knows the anxiety the ticking clock was giving her. Only she knows the fear each passing car was giving her. Whenever a car passes through the area Jasmine would flinch, thinking he is back.Today is the day. The day which will seal her fate and destiny with a murderer. She didn't want any of this but is there any way to stop? Hell No! She must make up for what she has caused herself. Things weren't going according to her plan. She wanted to expose him, punish him and sent him to jail but seems like she is the one who's in jail, his house. She couldn't help but describe this luxurious penthouse as a jail. Afterall how can a house become a home when we are trapped in it without consent.She felt like a caged bird. No matter if the cage is made of gold or rubies if that makes you feel like hostage.The screeching sound of the car caught her attention
Lying on the bed Jasmine stared at the varmint with her teary green eyes. Everyone would feel even an ounce of mercy by looking at the vulnerable state of that timid girl but Alas! He isn't a normal man. If anything he's a bloodthirsty animal who wanted to pounce on his prey just to show his dominance and power. How much she wished for him to show a little mercy. Atleast a little! Is that thing that much hard to give? Is he really made of stone that made him this much heartless?Tearing his eyes from her seductive green ones he let his demon take over him. He no longer wants to wait, No longer wants to be patient and No longer wants to be gentle. He's a dominant by nature so it's natural.Clasping her comparatively small hands in his giant ones he pinned them beside her head. Her wrists were really tiny that made him hold on it, perfectly. But on Jasmine's case, she felt like her hands were handcuffed, his hold really made her feel like handcuffed, Hell! handcuffs are way lot better
"Blood?" A meek whisper escaped his lips in disbelief. His features morphed into confusion as he gaped at his fingers, not understanding anything. Blood rushed to Jasmine's cheeks as she closed her eyes in embarassment. She didn't expect that. After getting a clue of what was happening Ethan literally forced himself to swallow the anger which submerged him. It was so close.. he was so close to make her his but everything got ruined. Just wow! What a lucky man!Is it possible to let her go and sleep like nothing happened? Can he even sleep peacefully after this? His body was on fire and from one look he can say the same to her. F*ck! All the while he thought it was her wetness, he thought she was wet for him but in reality it was utterly the opposite. Wiping his finger on the bedsheet he glared at the girl who was lying on the bed. Her features now looked calm with a little embarassment on them. "Did you know about this earlier?" He asked and she shook her head, indicating a no. A
Sitting inside his cabin Ethan was profusely cursing out loud. The only sound which cut through the deafening silence was those skin crawling words. He was angry would be an understatement, he was furious, he was enraged, he was annoyed. His head was thumping violently with tension and distress. How the hell is he gonna get rid of that girl? She's nothing but a pure pain in ass and he wanted to choke her to death and see her dying in his arms with his own eyes. Even that thought alone was calming his nerves.His father who was supposed to help him fixed his marriage with that gold digger and when he protested he gave him seven days to solve it. Seven fucking days! As a person who deals with his enemies in a single night, seven days are too long, that too to confront a girl? Hha way too easy!"Steven!" His deep baritone voice had Steven snapping out of his thoughts. Uttering a 'yes sir' he stepped forward while maintaining his posture. "Go and find the entire details of that Karina.
"Wh-What?" Her voice quivered. Her chin wobbled and head spinned.Ethan slowly shoved his thumb inside her parted mouth, surprising the girl on his lap. She immediately tried to pull her head back but his hand on her nape didn't let her. Her mouth was still open with his finger inside it. "Close your mouth, Flower" he said softly but Jasmine was terrified to listen to him. She again tried to move her head but stopped when she saw his eyes darkening with anger."Don't make me repeat myself, Dear" he said while shoving his finger further inside her. But Jasmine couldn't do that, it was humiliating. It was embarassing."This will end soon, Jasmine" he again tried but she wasn't in a state to listen him. Her mind got filled with thoughts and thoughts.A tsk sound caught her wavering attention and the look in his eyes told her to run and hide behind the hills. He's angry, No No, He's furious."If you listen to me I'll make it end soon but if don't-" he stopped."Then i will forget my pro
Rubbing her eyes Jasmine sat on the bed while yawning loudly. Yesterday's sleep was blissful, she felt like someone lulled her to sleep. Tossing the heavy blanket away Jasmine went to the bathroom to do her routine. After that she placed his coffee on his table and gladly he was sleeping like a log. Thanking her lucky stars she made him and her breakfast and they ate together.Luckily this time he didn't dare to mess with her like he did yesterday night. Like a good boy he ate and left in silence.• • • • • •"Did you find any positive information, Steven?" Ethan asked while working on his laptop, giving equal attention to Steven as well."No sir. Her details are all clear" Steven uttered while looking straight at the wall, in a professional way."Then, did you make any?" His question came out more in a threatening way."Not yet, sir." He replied curtly. A sigh of probably from annoyance expelled from Ethan as he slammed his laptop shut. Getting up from the chair he roamed around the
Jasmine was inside the dressing room, her delicate fingers continuously wringing together as she let her breath out with a loud exhale. Her lips, painted with a bright cherry red color, were pressed into a thin line. Despite the cool temperature provided by the AC, it didn't manage to soothe her or keep her from sweating profusely, as if she were sitting inside a very hot sauna.The door to the dressing room swung open with a slight creak and Jasmine's eyes darted towards the direction from where the sound came, looking to see her aunt. She gently stood up, her hands clasped together in front of her as she watched the pair enter with a tiny smile on her aunt's face and a glimmer of guilt in her eyes."Jasmine" the woman uttered, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she admired the young woman standing in front of her. She had indeed grown up, the last time she saw her she was merely a young girl of sixteen. And now she was a fully grown woman and a mom with her own little bundle of j
Two years laterIt was a balmy morning, the sun looking all prepped to embark on its daily journey. Its bright, yellowish-orange light suffused the surrounding environment, illuminating the world from the blanket of darkness that covered it mere hours before.It was another typical Sunday, filled with the sweet sounds of music drifting out from houses to mix with the chatter of children gathered around their tables. Their parents moved about their homes, a single eye on their little ones while the other was fixed on their busy schedules.Some people were already out on the streets, jogging and walking with a smile on their faces. They waved cheerfully at every stranger who passed them, a small gesture of positivity to start their day.On the other hand, some people weren't quite ready to face the day. They snuggled up in their comfy beds, their faces buried in their pillows, savoring the rare respite of having a holiday.Ethan fit squarely into this category as he snuggled into his bi
Dream or reality?Delusional or truth?Imaginary or actual?I don't know. It's like deep within I know it's her and she's in front of me, looking back at me with the most beautiful pair of her viridian orbs but it's just that my mind isn't ready to believe it, like it's not ready yet to acknowledge the truth that lays in front of my own eyes.Why? Maybe because of the pain? The pain of betrayal and agony? Or maybe regret.. or maybe...maybe shame? Shame of what she's thinking of me. Embarrassed of myself that she might be judging me, mocking me. But the heart, it was beating faster and I'm not surprised cause that's how it always functioned near her. Beating like it will explode in any minute, the rush of blood and adrenaline, the unintentional movement of muscles in my face and body, the shivers down in my spine, I'm way too used to them now. From the corner of my eyes I caught my dad and Mr. Sinclair leaving. Good, privacy is what we need the most now.As we stood there looking at
Ethan's povDripping....blood dripping from my hand. Not mine, the blood of the disgusting man who now lays on the other end of the cell with me. Endured....a lot. Tried to talk… a lot. Nothing worked.Some people are like that.They won't understand with words, and those who don't understand by words, shall understand by actions. My eyes are boring holes on the wall opposite of me, glaring back at me. My back pressed against the other cold wall while I slumped against the floor. The video of me spread like wildfire. After I was arrested by the police, dad and Steven took the matter in hands and the video was removed from online.But who was I kidding?The field I am working on is business. No commitments, no attachments, just like the word says, pure business.And the number of rivals who are eager to take the position was too many that they did everything to at least put me inside these four thick walls.The irony? They all unite for this matter. All the rivals together, just wo
There she stood, motionless and unresponsive. Her body felt paralysis-like, and not a single muscle moved. Her sparkling green eyes were fixed on the speeding car heading her way, yet it was unclear if the headlights were mocking her or warning her to get out of the way. The glare was too much to handle, and she was not certain what was happening.She knew she had to act quickly. The stakes were high, as the cost of inaction was not only her life but also that of someone else. She had to make a quick decision because if something happened to her, it wouldn't just be one life lost - it would be two. Not only did she know she had to act quickly, but something was holding her back. A numbness had set in her body and despite the rising adrenaline, she couldn't make herself move. In that moment, she wondered why all of this had to happen to her.Because of Ethan?Could it be that all of this was happening as a result of her choice to ignore everything and be with him? Was this the univers
"That he fucking killed your dear ex-boyfriend, beautiful"Betrayed.. torn.. used.. Those were the feelings she felt as Massimo uttered those words to her and her heart broke within her chest. She begged and begged for Ethan to deny what he said was true, to tell her that whatever Massimo said was a lie. But when she saw his head lowered low and hanging he couldn't even meet her eyes, she knew that this was the end. The tears from her eyes flowed rapidly and her body seemed to shake uncontrollably with every passing second.As his head hung low and he refused to look her in the eye, she knew that the words that had been spoken held a truth she didn't want to accept, and her heart broke all over again at the realization. She wanted to scream at him and slap him, hit him out of her pain and betrayal, but she couldn't move herself to do so. She could only watch as the man she loved and trusted was breaking her heart with each passing instant, and all she could do was cry and beg for him
The muffled sounds of people talking filled her ears, but despite her utmost efforts, her heavy eyelids remained clamped shut, offering no respite from the utter darkness enveloping her. The tiny strip of damp material covering her eyes could not fully mask the thick, noxious stench that filled her nostrils, and her conclusion was that it was none other than her own blood. In this tense and unsettling atmosphere, the muffled voices only intensified her mounting distress and fear.The icy breeze blowing against her unprotected skin made her shiver uncontrollably. Her breath began to quicken as the ice-cold wind continued to blast against her, and her lips turned blue from the bitter cold. The cold feeling quickly spread throughout her body, making it feel like her entire body was immersed in an ocean of freezing water. The thought of getting wet with such frigid water was enough to send shivers down her body, yet there was little she could do to protect herself.The loud, incoherent ch
She felt as if she had been transported to the middle of an endless ocean, the vast expanse of blue stretching beyond her sight on every side. Yet somehow, she was not drowning in its depths, but floating weightless, like a piece of debris. The vastness of the ocean and the immense sky above overwhelmed her, and she felt as if she was totally alone, with no presence of any other beings in sight. The loneliness and isolation were so profound that she felt like a tiny, insignificant spec amidst the vast emptiness.As the loud commotion and noise pulled her out of her trance, Jasmine blinked and shifted her eyes away from the television toward the commotion. Xavier scrambled up from his seat, his tone becoming more frantic as he yelled at the driver to turn the car around while Ella clutched his shirt sleeves. The chaos was becoming increasingly intense as she watched a look of horror on Xavier's face. She felt her legs weaken as she took a tentative step forward, her eyes glued to the s
"The person you're trying to reach is unavailable, please leave a message after the tone."Jasmine let out a sigh as she looked at her phone in her hand. This was the third time she'd called Ethan, yet the calls were again diverted to voicemail. Now that four weeks had passed since he left, the calls and conversations had also become more sporadic and scarce. He had made sure to call her once, but his tired and weary voice was easily recognizable.After cutting the call, Jasmine was left with a feeling of emptiness. She looked out at the balcony, her emerald eyes darting towards the big gate that was safely secured. Every time she'd glance at it, her mind would play cruel tricks on her, giving her false illusions of him walking through that entrance. Whenever she heard a noise, her heart would start pumping frantically, hoping and believing that it was him coming to see her. But sadly, he never came.As she scanned the whole place out of habit, she realized that something else had cha
