View MoreCOMPASSIONATE STRANGER Mila’s POV“You're going to injure yourself if you continue hitting your hand on the grave, Milady.” a young man said as he approached me, his black suit complimenting my outfit. Raising my head slowly, I met the most beautiful set of eyes. Hair as dark as the starry night, and skin as fair as milk. His perfect structure wasn't the one you see every day. He looked mysterious and also handsome at the same time. After staring at him for a while, I averted my gaze and continued staring at my mother's grave. With the cold touch of the rain against my skin, I shivered slightly, but I wasn't willing to leave. Since I wasn't allowed to spend her last time with her, I’ll probably just talk to her here. My lips stretched into a small smile as I stared at her picture. Just like me, she was smiling in that picture. Her smile was as bright as the sun, and it warmed my cold heart. I watched my bruised knuckles and sighed. With blood dripping from it, I wondered why the p
MOTHER'S GONE Mila’s POVFlashbackDevastated by the news of my mother's death, I found it hard to breathe. My sanity was long gone, and the only thing I felt was rage and guilt. I couldn't believe that my mother was gone. The feeling of emptiness was driving me nuts, and it would only take seconds before it got out of control. “Mila, be strong for me.” Dolph, my boyfriend said as he pulled me into a hug. Feeling secure in his strong arms, I didn't see the need to control my tears anymore. Wrapping my arms around him, I cried like I'd never cried before. The pain I felt in my heart was too intense, and it was driving me nuts. The fact that my mother would no longer be with me to guide me shattered my heart into a million pieces. She wouldn't be there to lead me like she had promised. How was I supposed to cope? To live in this lonely world alone with no one to turn to. My mother was my best friend. The only person I could share my issues with, but now that she's gone, would my tho
CONTRACTMila’s POVThe creepy guy I met at the cemetery, who gave me the chills was the one who saved my life. I didn't know if I was meant to be grateful or wary of him. I turned to Jett who had a hard time standing up, “Did you have to do that?” I asked, my voice stern and unyielding as I stared at him. If he didn't steal from the bastard, we wouldn't have had to experience this kind of embarrassment. “I'm sorry.” Jett lowered his head, not daring to look at me in the eye. I sighed, “Thank God you're okay, but you still need to be treated.” I frowned, a strange feeling in my heart. Presently, I didn't have a dime in my account, and the money for Jett’s hospital bills would take ages for me to get. Currently, we have no shelter on our heads and no food to put on our table. We sleep outside shops and battle with the cold at night. Sometimes, it becomes so unbearable that I feel like breaking down. I mean, sleeping outside for several weeks wasn't something a weak person would be
MYSTERIOUS MANMila’s POVI turned my head to the side, as I wondered whose voice sounded so assuring, just like the sweet sound of a mother's lullaby. My heart skipped a beat when I saw him. That man looked so familiar like I had seen him before. His raven black hair was slightly disheveled, giving him a unique look, maybe an angel sent from heaven; but he looked like a demon instead. One sent from hell to steal my heart away. Merely by looking into his eyes, I was trapped. I couldn't stop staring, and I didn't know why. Angered by my emotions, I closed my eyes and pushed the bald man away immediately I noticed that he got distracted. He fell to the ground and groaned, “You little bitch! Come back here.” he snapped as he got up to move closer, but the mysterious man's voice made him halt. “What do you think you're doing?” he asked, tilting his head as his lips stretched into a wide grin. I could sense the deadly aura around him, and deep down I felt like running away to hide. By h
