Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a slap on my face and found furious Anna standing near my bed hovering above me.I was confused for a moment and looked around to realize that I was still in the hospital.It was dark outside and it meant I slept all afternoon.Maybe I was tired."You bitch! I was going crazy when your mom called and asked me about you. Then I called every f*cking person in the college to just know if you were with them?" She said looking angry."I'm so sorry, Anna. I had no idea this would happen." I said feeling ashamed for not sharing it with her.She threw a glare at my way then hugged me. Honestly, I was expecting her to beat the shit out of me rather than hugging me. I embraced her back knowing how worried she might be for me all that time."Are you trying to kill me kindly? I can't breathe because of your strong hold." I said to her.She pulled away from me and I noticed tears in her eyes."If you pull something like this again, don't expect me to talk to you ever
Elena's POV:Brandon entered and looked at us with a frown."I found her in the washroom then we came here to find you," Madeline said to Brandon.I silently thanked her for explaining my bedraggled look in his best friend hospital room."H-Hi, Brandon" I squeaked.He walked to me then hugged me without giving me any warnings.For a few minutes, we stay silent in each other's arms. I let him hold me knowing how much he hates hospitals and how difficult it was for him to step in here for me and Jake."I hate you stupid sister" He mumbled in my ear and I laughed.He let go of me and glared at me while I laughed harder."You and hate? Pufft" I said with the dismissing wave of my hand."I hate you for scaring the shit out me." He said looking really upset.But the love and satisfaction he had on his face showed me how relieved he was to see me okay."I'm sorry, Brandon. I'm so sorry for everything." I said preventing the tears from falling from my eyes.I knew that I wasn't saying sorry
On Elena's fourth birthday, her dad gave her a beautiful dollhouse with a new gorgeous doll in it. She instantly fell in love with the doll, looking at it with love and analyzing it. The doll house had a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and a small balcony with a lot of furniture. She named her new doll princess, just like her dad calls her princess. She was delighted to receive such a precious gift from her lovely dad. She settled the princess in her room, admiring the dollhouse again. Suddenly, she noticed that the princess looked alone in the house. Her tiny mind started to ask questions about her loneliness. Elena never liked being alone; she always loved her family and the time she spent together with her family. She was never a shy girl. Elena always loved being in the spotlight with people around her. She loved spending time with her family and her twin brother Eric. He was her best friend, and Elena liked to play games with him and pulled silly pranks with him on her parents a
Elena’s POV: I took the glass of champagne and made my way toward the man who had emptied every bottle of alcohol available in the bar. “Hi,” I said, leaning on my arms on the counter, assessing him from head to toe. “Hi, princess,” Jake replied, still busy drinking. His husky voice made me shiver, and I tightened my hand around the glass. I did not know why but I had always loved it when he called me princess. My eyes searched his face to find traces of the Jake I knew. The boy I played with and saw him sleeping on our couch thousands of times. The one who used to make me laugh with his silly jokes and pulled pranks on every single person in the neighborhood. I recalled inquiring him once why he liked to make people laugh, and he responded. "It’s better to make people laugh than make them cry." The man standing beside me was nothing like the Jake Carter I had a crush on. This man looked hollow from the inside, hopeless and helpless. However, his handsome face has lost some y
Elena’s POV: His coat was on the floor with his tie. His shirt was on the chair, and his pants were on the floor at the end of the bed. There was an empty bottle of wine on the nightstand and the night lamp was still on. The curtains were open, and sunlight was falling into the room. My eyes landed on the bed, where Jake was sleeping on his stomach. His glorious back was in my view. My mouth waters at the sight of his smooth skin. I wanted nothing more than to run my fingers on his naked back and feel his soft skin under my fingertips. "What are you doing, Elena?" My mind asked. "Staring at my crush," I responded in awe. "You are staring at a naked man in his sleep. You creep!" My mind snapped at me, making me nervous. Without thinking much, I picked up his coat; tie, and pants, then put them on the chair while my gaze again went to him. He looked like an angel, the sunlight was falling on his bare back, and I could see it glowing. His legs were covered with a white comforter,
Elena’s POV: He was frozen while my mouth was moving slowly against his mouth. I took my time nibbling and feeling his soft lips. The feeling of his lips was better than what I perceived in my dreams thousands of times. “He is the one.” My heart yelled at me. Suddenly, I felt his hand on my waist, and I was sure he would push me away, but instead, he pulled me closer to his body. Then his lips started to move slowly, touching me gently like I would break if he put a little pressure. I teased his mouth, wanting it open and allow me to explore his every velvety nook. He opened his mouth allowing my tongue to plunge inside his mouth, battling for the dominance.My world exploded with happiness when I realized he was kissing me back, and his tongue was playing with me. Unfortunately, the pleasure didn’t last long because he pulled away from me as fast as he gave me the taste of heaven. I gazed at his swollen lips with my hazy eyes. “You wouldn’t have done this if you were not dreamin
Elena's POV: "Maybe I imagined it?" I said to myself. Then an idea popped into my head. I knew it was wrong, but it was the only way to find out what was going on in his head. I stepped closer to Sam and put my hand on his shoulder. I whispered in his ear. “Don't tell my brother that I said it, but I agree with you. Brandon is stubborn,” “I will keep it a secret,” Sam smiled and replied. Jake was still staring at us like he was ready to chew us alive. His eyes didn’t leave me alone once. There was anger and traces of betrayal in his eyes. I didn't understand why he was feeling that. And why his possessivness was pleasing me. I made an excuse and went to my room. I entered my room, closed the door behind me, and glanced at myself in the mirror. My face looked pale, and I felt dizzy. If I get too excited or worried about something happening to me. There was a knock outside my door. I took a deep breath and opened my bedroom door to find Jake. He entered my room and shut the bed
Jake's POV: Alyssa was standing there looking at us with her wide sapphire color eyes. Her gaze held amusement and confusion. "I was coming to check on you, Elena. You suddenly disappeared," Alyssa said staring at Elena. "Yeah, I wasn't feeling well. I just went to my room to freshen up. But I'm fine now, let's go back." I said. Elena dragged Alyssa with her, not even looking back at me once. I had no idea what was wrong with me. Why didn't I want to let her go? Why did my heart begin to beat faster? Why couldn't I stop staring at her? I hadn't felt this way since I lost Hanna. She was the only woman who could make me crazy. Why it had to be her? I asked myself but didn't receive any answer. "I needed a drink," I mumbled to myself. I went back to the gathering and picked the glass of wine. Without thinking much I chucked the entire glass down. Unintentionally, my eyes searched for her once again. Noah made his way to me, looking as handsome as always. His eyes were shinnnig b

Jake's POV:I felt soft caresses on my jaw and opened my eyes. It was really bright; the sun was just shining above my face. I looked around and realized I was lying on the grass in the garden. I sat up feeling confused.Someone placed a hand on my shoulder making me stiff. I turned back and found Hanna. She had a same beautiful smile on her face. Her black hair and her skin were glowing. She had a gold like an aura around her.I was shocked and confused to find her in front of me."Jake," She called my name snapping me out of the shock."Hanna, baby, I missed you so much," I said cupping her face and showering it with kisses.Her skin felt so light, so smooth and soft like a cloud.She smiled at me and put her hand on my jaw."I missed you too, Jake. But I'm so happy here. This is where I live and it's so peaceful," She said making me look around the garden.The garden was breathtaking and peaceful just like heaven."Is this heaven?" I asked her confused."Yes, it's something like he
Elena's POV:Suddenly, the police cars stopped outside the building. Ben panicked and moved to hide in the bushes. His eyes landed on me and he smirked."Oh, I see you are hiding here," He said.He knew he had no chance to escape so did I.I knew I needed to get away from him fast. I stood up and he pulled out something from his jacket.Before I could run away from him, he pointed the gun at my head."Dear, Elena, you're my ticket to escape from here alive" He pulled me towards him and placed his arm around my shoulder.It was quite dark for police to see what was happening and where we were standing because their focus was on the building. Some officers went inside while some stayed outside looking around the area."Stay still" He hissed."Remove your arm and keep this gun away from me" I hissed.He tightened the grip of his arm and glared at me. The officers came out of the building and another car came to stop beside police cars. I knew that black car very well because it belonged
Elena's POV:I woke up feeling a pain in my head and opened my eyes to find darkness around me. I recalled how something was smashed on my head to make me black out. I panicked and tried to get up but my hands and legs were tied down with rope.I had no other chance but to yell for help."Help! Please, help me."I was hoping someone would hear me.Suddenly, I heard the noise of door and someone entered. A light coming from the torch fell on my face making me flinch."I'm glad you are awake."Ben kneeled down in front of me and I felt the anger pulsing through my veins."What the actual f*ck is this Ben? My mom must be going crazy. I need to go home before my dad turns the city upside down."He shook his head with an amused smile on his face making me angrier. I was glaring at him and he would be dead if I wasn't tied."You are mine and I am going to keep you here until you realize it," He smiled at me creepily.I was boiling with anger. If my hands weren't tied I would definitely give
Elena's POV:I arrived at my house and went straight to the lounge. I found my mom and Ben sitting on the couch across each other in the living room talking. There were cupcakes with coffee on the table. I never told my mom why Ben and I were not friends anymore."Hey, mom," I said getting their attention.I sat on the couch beside her and received a glare in return. I knew why she was glaring at me. She wanted me to explain why I didn't come home last night."Hey, you guys talk. I will be in the study if you need me," Mom said looking at me.I nodded with the smile and she left."What are you doing here Ben?" I asked feeling angry at his presence in my house without my permission."You promised to meet me at the café we used to group study. I waited for you there like a fool," He said looking angry."You should have known that I wouldn't come," I said."Why are you doing this me? We were friends at one time," He said."Yes, we were friends, Ben. But we are not friends anymore. If you
Jake POV:I kissed her and everything started to feel different. Her lips were eager and demanding more passion from me. The torture she inflicted on me by gazing at me with her beautiful chocolate brown eyes was enough to send me to hell for thinking about the things that I want to do with her.We pulled away from each other breathing hard. Elena was looking down; her lips were wet and plump from the kiss that we shared. Her hair was a bit of a mess but I kept staring at her to memorize her face at that moment."I...I want you to stay with me, tonight". I said and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear.She looked at me with her hazy eyes and I sucked in a sharp breath, cursing myself for being so weak at that moment.She didn't answer me but her lips came back crashing on mine in a feverish kiss. I smiled at her and without thinking much I carried her to the nearest room. I placed her on the bed and she scrambled back to give me space to climb on the bed.I got rid of my shoes and
Jake POV:I went straight to the office, ignoring the people who stopped by to say hello and good afternoon.I didn't know what was happening to me?I sat down on the chair and looked for the ledgers that I asked my assistant to put it here."Where the hell are the ledgers? Didn't I ask you to put them here on my table?" I said calling my assistant."I'm sorry, sir. I'm just getting them". He said and came back with the ledgers.I felt angry and I had no idea why?I opened the ledgers and started to check them but concentrating on it seemed impossible. My mind keeps going back to Elena.I closed my eyes to stop the image of Elena. But only to see Hanna's radiant face playing in my mind.She was smiling at me, saying something that I couldn't understand. Her smile was beautiful and her black hair was spread on the pillow.It was a memory of the morning after we spend the first night together. She was on the bed when I came with the coffee that I made for her."Jake, so is this one time
Elena's POV:His lips were on mine. I couldn't believe it. I tried to make myself believe that this wasn't a dream where I wake up as soon as his lips touches mine.I closed my eyes when the sensation of pleasure filled me, chilling my bones and making me shiver on the places where I never felt anything before. His thumb was caressing the side of my jaw and unintentionally a sigh escaped from my mouth.Then I felt a hand on my back, pulling me closer. I was pressed on his chest. He changed the angle to deepen the kiss. My body was on fire with the way his lips were working, sending waves of desire making me powerless and vulnerable. He pulled away little, letting me breath and started to nibble on my lower lip. My body and mind was on cloud nine.Suddenly, his warm tongue caressed the outline of my lips seeking entrance of my mouth making me lose my balance at the feeling of immense pleasure. But a hand on my waist held me in place.He devoured me like a starved man, kissing, nibbling
