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!
Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)Did I hear it right? Did she just confess her love to me? Why? Is she crazy that she chose me, a man who kidnapped her and took her happy life away from her, to love? Or did she say that just for the sake of the show we are putting on for Ms Betty?What do I feel for her? I hate to admit that when I laid my eyes on her for the first time when she was sitting alone in the car and I knocked on the window, I was instantly attracted to her! And it has only been a few days but in these handful of days, I have seen her, touched her and smelled her so many times that I don’t know now, how will I survive without her!I know that my feelings won’t lead me anywhere and it is a matter of a few weeks and then I have to hand her over to the person for whom I have kidnapped her in the first place. But till such time there is no harm in living this fantasy!“I love you too Love!” I heard my
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)I know it is so foolish and naïve request! Who would beg her kidnapper to love her? It might even sound gross, but not a word of what I said was a lie! I had realised already three things. One, that he would never let me go. Two, that I have developed strong feelings for him, which even maybe love? Three that I will either get killed or kill myself when I am handed over to an unknown man, but whichever way it would be, I will land up dead by the end of the next few weeks! So, what does a person do when he or she knows that he or she is going to die very soon? They do what they couldn’t do yet desired to do!Should I care now for things like making love before marriage and every other thing a decent woman is supposed to remember? No! Because anyways, my life was short! So, I took a decision! I decided to not cry anymore or plan to escape and land up in greater misery! I decided to find happiness in whatever
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)When I was kidnapped a few days back, I was sure I won’t be able to laugh in a long while! When Mark told me that he will take me to someone and never let me go, I was sure that I will never laugh again and thought the reason and the recent turn of events were insane, yet, I not only smiled but I also laughed! I laughed loud like a child!Now it was time to have dinner and then start a new life with Mark though the life of our fake love story or fake relationship was too small! But how small? I had no idea!Mark soon returned with food in a single tray with a single plate, a few bowls and a single spoon and fork! Before he sat with the food, he lifted my head a little as much as was permitted by the doctor and placed two pillows below my head.And just as I assumed seeing the arrangement, he and I ate with the same spoon from the same plate! Of course, he fed me with his own hand and god he was so
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)It was pretty bad to be peeing in the bed pan that too in front of another person, but I don’t know why I felt a little less embarrassed because it was the nurse, Betty Bitch who had to help me with it and clean it.Within fifteen minutes after Mark left, Betty Bitch entered my room to help me with my before bed rituals. The moment my eyes fell on her, I could feel the bile in my throat! I was disgusted seeing her in a translucent night dress that covered almost nothing! She was clearly determined to get into my husband’s pants! Ok not my husband but to her Mark is my husband!“Now you are ready for bed. Anything else you want?” she asked smiling at me but I knew in my heart that even that smile was poison.“Just my husband.” I said loudly shying a bit more than necessary to make her jealous! And it worked!“What are you twelve?” she whisper yelled b
Narrator’s POV— ( Past Life)That night Mark came out of the bathroom wearing only his shorts and wiping his hair with a table. Clara was staring at his bare body and as soon as their eyes met, she turned her gaze away from him shying like a new bride!What is she thinking? Is she considering the fake ritual as a real wedding? Is she so foolish that she is assuming this night to be their wedding night?It was the beginning of the short term of happiness he has agreed to give Clara before he hands her over to the man who has spent so much money for getting this priceless woman! In his head he has even calculated the gains that would come out of this! He would get to have the woman he desired even if it was for a few weeks and also she won’t be trying to escape or spill their secret assuming that Mark will fall in love with her and one day let her go! He was sure that Clara was trying hard to get him to release her!But Mark
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)Today I didn’t want to wake up to the voice of Sona! I expected to wake up in his warm and strong arms, but that didn’t happen!“Good Morning Madam! How are you feeling? How was your night?” Sona wished me as usual and I was lying looking around the room with a groggy and dizzy feeling as usual. I know well that I won’t be able to talk for at least fifteen twenty minutes and then as the day will proceed, gradually everything will sink in.“Here is your coffee! Let me help you to lean on the pillows.” Sona came and lifting my head she placed two pillows under by neck to support my body.“You have your coffee and I will get the nurse.” Sona said handing over the coffee mug to me and left.I yawned and stretched a bit. It has not even been two days and I was already feeling bored sitting on the bed. But I am feeling sad that Mark left me in the mo
Clara’s POV— ( Past Life)A moment back I was planning so much as to how to seduce Mark and may be get him to treat me like his wife! I so much wanted to know that whatever Betty said was right or not, but as soon as Sona left leaving me alone with Mark, I remembered his look when he said ‘I warned you, but you didn’t listen!’ – in the afternoon before following Betty!I looked away as soon as his eyes met mine and gulped in fear! Will he give me a chance to explain or just kill me? Did he really fight with Betty Bitch for me?“Are you ready for bed?” he asked and I nodded. “Did Betty come and take care of her routines to prepare you for bed?”I nodded my head to either sides and said, “No”“Wait here. I will be back!” he said and left the room to call the bitch! I felt so helpless at that moment! I wish I could move or walk to the bathroom myself! I j
Mark’s POV— ( Past Life)“I need to talk to you and it is urgent!” Betty demanded and by her tone, I knew that it cannot be good!I took a deep breath to calm by urge to rush to the bitch and throttle her!“I will talk to you tomorrow!” I said in a deep and loud voice.“But I am not sure that I will be able to..”I turned around and narrowed by eyes at her and she stopped talking immediately.“I.SAID.I.WILL.TALK.TO.YOU.TOMORROW!!” I said word to word through my gritted teeth and without letting her reply, I hurried upstairs to my bedroom.--“Are you ready for bed?” I asked her as usual and she remained quiet just like last three nights! I placed the bag with the things I got for her, switched off the light and ignoring the faint sound of her sobbing for the time being, I threw my t-shirt on the floor after removing it and walked in the bathro
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
