Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)
“Sona? Sona??”
When I returned the sky was dark and the house was quiet. I walked in through the unlocked door and found some vessels with food on the wooden table covered with lids. But no one was around.
“Sona??” I called Sona again. My eyebrows were drawn close and eyes were dark. I had a bad feeling that something has happened. But what? Did the girl escape? Maybe Sona went after her?
Not getting any response I run upstairs skipping steps of the stairs and barge in to the bedroom where I left the girl, already yelling, “Where is the girl??”
“Master? You are here!”
As soon as I entered the room, I found Sona sitting on the bed beside the girl. The moment she heard me, she stood up and strode to me with a very worried face.
“What happened?” I asked frowning.
“Master, the girl is very sick and if we don’t take her to a
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)I gulped knowing that I was only in a towel and will be carried by him in this condition. My face turned red with shame and I felt very embarrassed even thinking that a man will see me and touch me in this condition!So many scary thoughts started running in my head! What if my towel slips off my body?I immediately looked down and checked the knot.‘What if he touches my by chance at the wrong place? What if the towel rolls up from my thigh and ..’I covered my face with my palms in shame even to think about all those dirty possibilities! Though my face was covered but I could hear his footsteps and soon the smell of a masculine cologne mixed with sweat filled my nose and I don’t know why, I felt butterflies in my stomach! Not only that, the worst was that my heart was thudding loudly but not in fear! I was blushing hard, I know.I felt guilty and ashamed of the way I was!How c
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)He left me alone with Sona to get dressed. I felt relief but also a bit disappointed for what god knows! I was feeling bad for Mark! Isn’t it the weirdest thing ever heard? The man kidnapped me and here I am feeling sorry for him!Sona wiped me dry and my hair too and then removed the wet towel that covered my body and in a quick reflex, I covered myself with my hands and pressed my legs close with shame.“Huh!” I gasped.Sona realised my emotions and said pointing at the door, “Don’t worry Miss, the door is closed and no one will enter. Let me get you dressed.”I shook my head slowly left to right.She sighed and nodding rapidly, she said, “Ok. Just put this on.”She gave me a simple white gown and helped me to wear it. She tied the laces and then combed my hair. After I was dressed, she took the wet towel to the bathroom.
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)I woke up in the morning with a heavy head and flattered my eyes open. My whole body was aching but the dizziness and nausea was not much! I looked to my left where there was a big glass window through which the sunlight was pouring in! The outside morning view was beautiful and as far as my eyes went, I could see deep green leaves of trees. It was still early morning I guess, because sweet sound of different kinds of birds chirping was heart lifting and nice to wake up to!“Good morning Miss! How are you feeling?” I turned my head towards the front and found the lady Sona walking in with a tray in hand.I don’t reply. And this is not because I didn’t want to reply or I am purposely being rude! Usually in the mornings when I wake up, I always feel a bit confused and groggy! My muzzy feeling usually clears gradually as I start my day.I slowly sit up on the bed and hide a big
Marks’s POV— ( Past Life)“Sona, this is Dr Clearwater and he will check on Venessa!” I had to get a doctor for Clara but I couldn’t tell him her real name or identity! So, I told him that she is my wife Venessa and she had fallen from the stairs!“Good evening Doctor! Madam is in her room!” Sona said and quickly exchanged a glance with me! I raised an eyebrow secretly at her and she blinked.“Mr Mark, please come along.” The doctor said and Sona walked ahead leading us to the bedroom where Clara was sleeping.As we walked inside, my eyes fell on her sleeping form. She wore a white gown and lied on the bed, sleeping peacefully. Her innocent face always made my heart quench and this is the reason, I always tried my best to avoid looking at her! She is so innocently beautiful that even a beast would love her at first sight! I was in a way a beast too!Looking at her, made me remember
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)My whole body was in acute pain and I wasn’t able to move! I wasn’t even able to speak and only cried after I regained my senses after one hour or a little more in the morning.“Where is it hurting Miss?” Sona asked me again and again frowning as I lied on the bed which I believe was Mars’s doing! I just remembered how I was about to fall from the first floor window and die but Mark saved me! Now that I am alive, I actually have again hope to see my parents some day! But now I owed Mark one! Despite the severe pain because of which I was crying my heart out, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to Mark for saving my life!‘But that doesn’t make him any good! He is the reason you are imprisoned here away from your home, your parents and scared like hell!’—I reminded myself.“Miss! Can you sit up?” Sona asked but as I tried to even lift my head, I scre
Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)Clara gulped in fear hearing the warning tone of Mark! When he said last night that he will take Clara to the hospital next morning, Clara was extremely happy! That was not only because they won’t be travelling soon but also because she thought God has given her a way to seek help! In the hospital among many people, Clara can ask help from the doctor or maybe a nurse and they would easily inform her parents over a telephone! If there is a telephone in the hospital, which she believed should be, she can herself call her parents and inform them that she has been kidnapped and held hostage!But when Mark said in a rude, serious and warning tone, Clara bit her lips warily and locked her clammy palms together. What is it now? What does he want to say?“W-What is it?” she managed to ask.Mark looks at her face and sighs deeply. She was afraid of him and it was quite clear! He looked down f
Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)I had to agree to let Dr Clearwater send a nurse who was also his assistant and was training under him, since I couldn’t leave Clara in the hospital! She would definitely cry for help and spill everything the first chance she gets! I have worked for months on this work and the man has already paid me half of the money to kidnap and deliver Clara to him!I had to tell a bunch of lies like every time I did when I kidnapped anyone but this time it felt true, at least a little! Truth in bits and pieces! I really wanted to keep her closer to me! I know I shouldn’t encourage my heart to feel anything for her. But I can’t help it. I tried. I tried hard and pulled away from her lips in the late morning, but truth be told, she has taken my breath away and whenever I think about her, my blood rushes through my veins as if wanting to reach her heart to connect with mine! I am smitten already and however much I t
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)‘Don’t even try to patronize me!’ ---- I snapped at my inner mind which repeatedly implied that I am being jealous! But I was not jealous at all! Mr No smile can do whatever he wishes with his life! He can get close and have sex with any woman he wants, why only Ms Betty! I was just irritated because Betty looked like a fake, overbearing bitch who wanted to spread legs for every man! Why else would she give those flirty looks and seductive smiles to a married man?‘Come on! You know he is actually not married to you!’ --- there she goes again!Ok, maybe he is actually not married, but she doesn’t know! To her, Mark is married to Venessa which is me and we are in deep love! Bloody home wrecker! She was tailing Mark, who is supposed to be my husband like a lost puppy and she was almost brushing her false padded mountains which were disproportionately larger than her slim body!
Six months have passed and finally it was a similar night when all the family members were having a fun weekend together. Sebastian and Edith have also joined them! They were engaged now! Adrian clinked his champagne flute with a spoon drawing everyone’s attention as they sat in front of the Cottage in the woods enjoying a nice picnic. “Okay everyone, attention please! Though it has become quite normal for us to have fun on many weekends like this, yet today’s dinner is special because I have a special announcement to make! Emily’s jaws dropped hearing Adrian and she was a blushing mess! Edith who has become close friend to Emily noticed her blushing face and whispered, “Why are you so red?? What’s going on?” “I…” “So, I would like to share a good news with you all and that is……” Adrian looked teasingly at Emily and his heart skipped a few beats seeing her blushing face! “I am ….going to be…a father again!! Emily my beautiful wi
Narrator’s POV—“Daddy! I have never been on an aeroplane! It was so big! We all were flying and then Zooooommm!! And I was feeling tikles………”“Oh yeah?”“Yes! In my stomach! Here……when the plane was moving up”Emily smiled looking at Adrian who walked in front holding Arian in his arms towards the exit. She was behind them. Coming back to Odessa after more than three years now was a very big decision for her! She has many good memories of Odessa. It is the place where she has found Adrian, her lover from her past life! Also it is the place where she has conceived Arian!But at the same time most of the worst memories were also those which she has faced here! The way Adrian treated her when she first arrived in Odessa and then the way he pretended to remember their shared past and love her for months only to throw her out after humiliating her! Even tho
Narrator’s POV—They all saw the only very old picture of Philip which was not quite recognizable though all three of them recognised him clearly! Not only that, his cruel and dirty face stirred a lot of nostalgia and sadness!“For us it is easy but I don’t think it will be that easy for someone who has just seen his picture! That too this kind of black and white old picture!” Adrian said.“It is true. And I don’t think that we should think too much about it now. Anyways, he can be anywhere and anyone! I mean you two are born with the same features but look at me! You guys never would have known about me if I didn’t tell you! God knows how Philip looks! And if by chance Mrs Murdock has really seen him, then it is clear that whenever we come across a person even vaguely similar to him, we should be cautious! That’s all we can do!” Sebastian said.“Yeah….but still seeing
Narrator’s POV—It was nine in the morning when finally Emily woke up yawning and stretching! And as soon as she sat up she moaned sniffing the delicious smell of coffee closing her eyes! Like magic, Adrian walked in through the door with two mugs of steaming coffee in hand. He was wearing a navy blue sweat pants and a white t-shirt. His hair was wet and Emily just kept staring at him! To her it seemed like Adrian was more handsome each time she saw him!“Good morning baby! Did you sleep alright? Or….are you still exhausted from last night???” he winked at Emily before setting the cups on the night stand.“Good morning honey!” Emily blushed pulling the sheet to her neck to cover her naked self better.Adrian chuckled and closed the door before settling down on the bed beside her. “You know you may now relax and leave the bed sheet to hold the coffee mug.”Emily tucked the sheet un
Narrator’s POV— It was midnight when the friends finally decided to sleep. After being requested, Sebastian slept in the guest room in Adrian’s villa instead of going back. Adrian walked Emily upstairs to another room, where Emily could sleep with Arian. Arian was already asleep. “So, I guess, it is a good night then?” Adrian spoke through short breathes as heat between them was very obvious and it made him uncomfortable! He needed Emily in his arms to sleep peacefully! “I guess so. Good night Adrian!” Emily said in a soft whisper, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. She was blushing thinking of the love making that they did in the afternoon! The close proximity of their bodies as they stood facing each other at the door and the mind numbing smell of Adrian’s body was not doing anything good to her! She could feel her wetness already between her legs and it meant another sleepless night! “Okay!” Adrian whispered and pulled her in his embrace, “I
Narrator’s POV—“Emily? You wanted my opinion on what you should do, right?” Sebastian asked looking at the confused Emily who nodded slightly. “Great! Then I need to have a talk with Adrian!” he said and then turning to look at Adrian, he added with a smirk, “Alone!”Sebastian stood up and walked in to the guest room and Adrian followed him quietly. He wanted his life back with his wife and son and if that means he has to tolerate Sebastian, he would! As soon as Adrian entered, Sebastian closed the door and stood in front of Adrian with his arms crossed!“Are you telling the truth, Edward?? Do you really remember your past life?”Adrian though was utterly confused by the Sebastian asked, as if he too knew his past life, yet he nodded and hissed through his gritted teeth, “Yes! I remember F*cking everything!”Sebastian’s face was calm and his eyes were coldl
Narrator’s POV—Adrian couldn’t help the grin on his face to appear, after Emily left the room. He then got dressed too and walked out of the bedroom to join Emily and Arian. Arian’s nanny was there so it means something was urgent!But as soon as he climbed down the stairs, he found no one around! The villa was empty and except for the warmth of his wife’s and son’s presence and the smell of the lunch, there was nothing left!“Arian? Mily?” Adrian looked around for them but they weren’t in the hall or the room where Emily slept last night! Then suddenly he noticed a note on the table.‘Seb has arrived early. I am going back to my apartment. Lunch is made for you and I will be back in the evening and make coffee for you! If you need before I return, fetch it from the café or make it yourself.Emily’Adrian’s face became dark at the mention of another
Narrator’s POV—“You and I will talk about this later! But right now, where will I get clothes to wear?” Emily was angry that despite there being clothes of her size in the house, she was directed to a closet with Adrian’s clothes and hence she had to wear an overlarge t-shirt and just her used panties! Also, she was hurt thinking if Adrian was really in love with her now, remembered his past and came for her, then why would he have women’s clothes in his house?“Alright. Come here.” Adrian pulled her to the other end of the room where there was another door. He slid it open and behind that was another walk-in closet. “Here. This is my side of the closet and there, that side is yours.”Emily was stunned seeing so many clothes starting from dresses, skirts, shirts, various tops, gowns, night wears, lingerie, shoes, purses and even jewellery! All were brand new and unused. Emily wanted to co
Narrator’s POV— Emily noticed how Adrian limped to the stairs. His clothes looked messy and dusty. She was worried but Adrian didn’t reply to her when she wanted to know what happened! Sebastian called earlier and he was supposed to reach in the afternoon and hence Emily decided to finish cooking lunch and then would go to her apartment to change and also receive Sebastian. She was almost done cooking because Adrian left angrily and returned one and a half hour. Should she go after him and check on him? She stood biting her lips unable to decide. ‘No! If he doesn’t want to tell me, why should I be so bothered? I shouldn’t get too attached.’ – Emily thought and decided to turn off the oven and leave. It was already 12 in the noon and Sebastian should be reaching anytime soon! Emily returned to the kitchen where the curry was on simmer and turned off the oven. “Ian? Can you go and ask Daddy if he needs coffee or something else to
