~RUBEL~Now that I already knew his heart, I needed to fix my mind. Why walk the way when you have to walk alone.There is no way he could accept me more than a friend. No wonder I was expecting too much from my stupid life.Who will choose a girl like me? But why does it feel something different when he looks into my eyes?Is it my foolish heart's desire who wanted to read the emotions I was desperately waiting for,but alas! I was wrong when he clearly declared me as his friend,No way I could allow myself to fall into a place of vulnerability.I will try my best to deny these feelings.But is it even possible? Can I control these feelings?We are friends, and we will be friends. "Are you ready?" Darius questioned.As discussed, he made me think about Marcus's wedding.I nodded,"But...""Say yes,"Suddenly somebody knocked at the door. "AMAZON PACKAGE,"I opened the door, and there, my eyes met with Samuel. "Hey, neighbor.""Hey,"I tried to grab the box, but Samuel took a few step
We reached Sangmore resort, not to mention the chilly winds and snow captured my attention.For a while, it dragged to the moment I spent with Marcus, discovering this beautiful end as a wedding destination,It was indeed the beautiful place I imagined."It's beautiful," Darius muttered, shifting his eyes from the scenic view towards the resort.My eyes landed on a small part of the land that was decorated for another wedding, I guess,It hurts when you desire the most, and you didn't get it.The only difference was the man changed, but the destination was the same. But that's what I was there for, to pull myself as one, to fix my mind."It's mesmerizing," I whispered.His hand grabbed my hand, which shifted my gaze towards his face."Are you ok? We can go back if you want?" I smiled,"No, I am fine. It's better to face the fear. How long am I going to run from it.""Atta girl, that's my girl."I grinned, showcasing my tooth like a cute bunny."I am going to show him...what he lost...
Darius opened the door as he latched the key at its place-making me see a beautiful view in front of my eyes.My jaw dropped open when I saw the room was decorated with candles and Lilies."What the..."I turned towards him with wide eyes."Did you..."I squinted when he gave me his signature smirk crossing his hands over his chest."Do you like it?"I cupped my mouth with surprise as tears filled my eyes.I never thought he would surprise me like this.I nodded and hugged him; he saw happy tears in my eyes."Hey...""I didn't expect this from you. I mean, why would you surprise me like that?" I bit my lips."Because we didn't come here to live up with your old memories. I want you to remember this place with happy memories between us."He again touched my heart."That's super cool, Mr. Delucia. I am wondering what you will do if you are in love with someone." I smiled,He blushed,"Consider it the same."My eyes wide opened again, asking questions."What? Are you in love with me?" I
~DARIUS~I closed the door behind my back and instantly went to open a bottle. It was getting hard for me to act like a fucking friend when I was clear about my feelings for her,She was the most beautiful person I met in my life. How did someone reject her? Call it my destiny, I met her, but the worst part is, I couldn't tell her the truth.I wanted to break Marcus's face; I saw him near the elevator. That fucking bastard wanted her to feel vulnerable, wanted her to feel rejected.I could see how surprised he felt when I rested my hand on her waist,But I let it drain all the feelings because I wanted to see that beautiful smile and sparkly eyes with surprise.I let her open the door, and as she entered, I latched the key.As expected, I could see her beautiful smile playing on her face; I didn't want her to feel bad. I came here to over-right her bad memories and turn them into good ones.She hugged me, kissed me."That's super cool, Mr. Delucia. I am wondering what you will do if y
~Rubel~I never realized I opened my heart to a level where he could hurt me.Hundred dollars, my worth,I knew he would come to talk to me, but I immediately packed my stuff.Tears never stopped; all things were blacked out in front of my eyes.I pressed the elevator button like a thousand times, wanting to get away from this suffocating aura where I could feel him.The door opened and I towed my bag inside.Once the door closed, I could see my messed up face, that perfect bun; happy smile face was gone.A few moments before we came from the same elevator, I was happy, and now?The pain was enough for me to choke; It felt like my lungs stopped taking the air needed for my body,I had to hit myself on my chest,"Breathe, Rubel,""Breathe,"I coughed, but the oxygen didn't reach the level where I could sustain for long.Did I have a heart attack?Seized my chest, I kneeled in that elevator; I was not able to breathe,Suddenly the door opened, and a man entered the chamber."Mam, are yo
~Rubel~With hurting words in my heart, I left the room.There was nothing to explain from my side. I didn't know why I talked to him like this,"You never fell in love with me? You never felt special about what we had?" He whispered from the back.That cuts me through; I stopped for a moment but didn't turn.What should I say? Yes, I loved you to this level where I allowed you to make a bet on my worth. And how stupid I am, I still love you,"It doesn't matter... my love, my feelings are not more than a hundred dollars worth."I came down, but he didn't stop following me.Once I reached the exit, I saw Anna looking at me and the back.It was hard to control everything.Without any further notice, she dashed towards him."You swine, how could you? How could you hurt her like this," "Ann.., Ann... no... no.."She slapped him.I cupped my mouth with a scare, but Darius's eyes never left my face."Look at me, you bastard,"Ann was yelling at him, and he was gazing at me.I grabbed Anna
~DARIUS~There was no explanation for what I did; I couldn't count it as a mistake because I did make that bet with Aurora,I still remember the day, I was not expecting to find Rubel in the office,But destiny brought us together in one project.Till that time I didn't know her, but her presence always made me question, who was she? And why she is different from others.(FLASHBACK)We were going for lunch after our hectic shoot,"Oh, My God, You literally made her feel out of place." Aurora chuckled,"What are you saying? Who?""Miss Duff,"I furrowed,"Who is Miss Duff?""Oh! Come on, Darius. I am talking about the one and only Rubel.""Oh... What did I do with her?"She trailed her nails on my jawline,"You told her to hold those things and, when she didn't, you made her sit in the corner." She laughed,"She is good for nothing. I don't know why dad hired her."But I was still unable to figure out what made her think like that."She is one of her kind?""I think she is good at her
"Are you sure about it?""About what, Anna?" I sighed,She held my hand,"You know what I mean, Ru..""You can't fill the hole with Landon. You love Darius, and anybody can see it."That was the first time Anna boldly declared her heart out for Darius."I loved him, but he didn't.""Why don't you talk to him, tell him what you feel about him.""Are you stupid, Anna? What happened to you? Aren't you the one who hated him because he made a bet on my worth?" I questioned.She exhaled a sharp breath,"I know he did wrong. But I know you, you are hurt, and you are trying to heal your heart..., with.., Landon, It's not correct Ru,"I pressed my lips; I knew she was right."You are right, but I can't face him. I can't confess my heart...""He broke me... and told him about my love... what if he trades my feelings in some more dollars" I cried,It was hard...,"I fell for the wrong guy, Anna. My mind wants to hate him for what he did, but my silly heart couldn't think bad about him.""Do you
