While typing without a break, those jet black orbs were fixated on the screen without blinking. His forehead creased a little and eyebrows were knitted together at the concentration he gave to his work. His veiny, ring clad fingers were moving sexily.

Massimo's concentration got disturbed when his phone decided to ring out loud while displaying a very familiar name on the screen. For a second he just stared at the screen with blank eyes before dragging them back to the laptop screen but extending his arm he decided to pick it up when it rang again while showing the same name.

"Ciao capo" the man from the other side greeted him politely. (Hello boss)

"Perché hai chiamato, Theo?" Massimo asked in his squawky voice while removing the specs off his face.

"That fuckers isn't ready to work with us. The deal is okay with them but they are demanding hundred million dollars as black money" Theodore, who is one of his loyal workers informed from the other line but Massimo's face was weirdly t

    Walking the corridor with a paper bag in his hand Ethan was desperate to get inside his house. His long legs were moving rapidly as he was soon in front of the very familiar big door as he pressed the password and pushed it open. His steel colored eyes wandered around the living room thinking she might be there waiting for him while clutching her hoodie like always but frowned when his eagle eyes didn't capture her. Closing the door and locking it properly he climbed the stairs thinking she might've left to use the washroom as he failed to find her in the kitchen too. His eyes on the way fell on the wall clock which accused him by telling that it's already close to midnight and another thought passed in his mind - she might have fallen asleep. And a pinch of disappointment hit him when he thought she dejected him.With that thought in his wicked mind Ethan opened the door to his room ever slowly so that he wouldn't disturb her sleep but his action stilled in the middle when a pair of

    Sitting on the comfy bed while leaning on the headboard Ethan and Jasmine stared into space. Ethan's back touched the headboard while hers connected with his steel like chest. His bare arms were protectively circled around her stomach as he held her closer while she just sat there like a lifeless doll. "I was eighteen when I met him. After the death of my parents I really struggled to keep on the track. It was like waking up in a new world that is full of darkness. But all the while I tried my best to keep my studies going. That was my only hope. That was my parents wish." A whimper tore through her throat as she started to reveal her past. "Two years flew by fast and in the third year I was in college. It wasn't that easy. Everyone had their parents with them as they accompanied their children on their big step while I was alone. There was no one to drive me collage, no one to wish me and no one to wait for me in home." A lone tear slowly rolled down her eyes and it fell right abov

    The fresh aroma of palatable foods spread across as the air happily carried the mouth watering smell all around, showing the man the answer he needs. Moving his legs forward at a fast pace he followed the aroma only to stop in front of the kitchen, watching the woman who stole his heart as well his sanity standing there while immersing in cooking. Memories of last night hit him, resulting in a genuine wide smile to appear on his face as he stood there watching her to his heart's content. Just like he thought the girl woke up early in the morning, that too before him and sprint away from the room before he could catch her. And he, the lark was too lazy to let go of his bed and the warmth it was providing but as soon as his body lost the warmth he jumped off the bed to look for his warmth.Jasmine on the other hand was engrossed in making food so that she could distract her impish mind from recalling what happened a few hours ago. But she would find herself again and again remembering

    Tilting her neck while touching the window with her pale hands Jasmine was eagerly admiring the view outside. It's been months since she was out of that building. She found peace engulfing her and her body automatically related after breathing the fresh air. That massive building was smothering her and she breathed in deeply, filling her lungs as much as they wanted.Sitting close next to her was Ethan with his hawk eyes fixated on her frame as if he's studying her. The car was spacious and it was enough to fit three people on the back but the man sat next to her like a leach, leaving space after him. His fingers were continuously tapping his thighs as he debated whether to grab her attention or not. She seemed very indulged looking out and he knew she missed it. Looking the other way he also let his impassive eyes watch the city but his mind was working hard on something. He doesn't know what he is going to do now is right or not but he felt like he needed to do it. His head was su

    Sitting rigidly on the chair Jasmine was ogling at the delicious food placed in front of her. Her shimmering green eyes didn't even hesitate to hide her hunger as Ethan bit back the smile that formed in his face."Eat something, dear. After the long ride you must be famished" Ella spoke softly and held out a bowl of chicken soup to her which she gladly took with a wide smile on her face. She wasn't feeling hungry but after seeing those mouth-watering food and its heavenly aroma had her stomach grumbling in hunger. Jasmine was a girl who says no to sleep and food. Taking a spoon full of soup Jasmine slowly slurped it and her eyes closed in bliss. Indeed homemade food feels marvelous. Her stomach argued to fill it with more and she didn't protest, rather she slowly started to devor Ella's soup as if it is the delicious thing ever existing on earth.While Jasmine was busy gobbling the food Ethan was busy admiring her winsome beauty. The way she didn't act to impress his parents, the w

    Inside the car Jasmine was debating with herself, contemplating whether to express her thoughts or not. She was happy and the reason was him. She grew up saying thank you and sorry to the person who deserves it. "I loved it," Jasmine said softly while playing with her dress. She could feel his heated gaze on the side of her face but she refused to cooperate by looking at him."Hm?" He questioned and Jasmine swallowed hearing his gruff voice. She always wondered how he managed to interact with people with that devilish voice. It was anything but gentle."Didn't you tell me I was going to love the place where you were gonna take me, I loved it.""Thanks" it was a small whisper compared to the other sentence. She wished she didn't open her mouth cause his heated gaze was all over her now. And on top of that he is not speaking a word and that weirdly made her squirm in her seat."My mom likes you" He uttered while leaning to the back as he recalled how happy his mother looked while spen

    Tottering in his way an old man slowly made his way towards the almost abandoned cemetery. The weather was rainy and the clouds were having an ominous aura around them as rain pelted down, washing the dirt and dust off the earth. But that didn't stop the man as he was clearly unbothered by the heavy rain and lightning happening. His wrinkled hands held a bouquet of roses and lilies in them. Halting after a good five minutes walking, the old man raised his head, his face held no emotions in them but his eyes were somehow bloodshot. His physique was weak and looked almost half dead. Dropping on his knees his weak hands elevated to place the bouquet of fresh flowers on the grave. Water pelted down rather harshly, similar to the emotional havoc that man was feeling inside."Daughter..." A faint whisper left that man's lips as he dropped his body weight and sat on the wet ground. His weak and groggy eyes never left the name engraved on it. A lone tear which resembled nothing but that ma

    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?

    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?

    "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
