Juliette's point of view... The dance wrapped up with a shocking end that we won the competition but still, Mr. Richard had no intention of leaving my thighs. His hands still spread on my thighs as if I belonged to him. "Mr. Richard let me down" I gritted as it felt embarrassing for me. Everyone was staring at us with their piercing gazes. I was hugging him around his shoulders and my legs wrapped around his waist. It was clearly an uncomfortable position to be at everyone's attention. Though we won, this thing was more embarrassing than losing the competition. Even when the sounds of clapping subsided, he didn't put me down but rather he walked out so fast with his long legs avoiding the focus light before the main lights were switched on.Confused I wondered if he just got carried away. I mean, he is drunk and I think, he lost his mind completely. That dance could have aroused any man and he might be still on that kind of thing. "Mr. Richard... Hold on your horses...!" I yelle
Author's point of view... "She is mine" Erick demanded and the land beneath Juliette's foot slid away. All of her mind was filled only with one thing, fear. A fear that she could never explain. A fear that slowly started inside her heart and traveled all across her body. Juliette's chain of thoughts was broken up by the sound of a scream as Nathan was pushed to the ground. "No stop...!" Juliette yelled getting down from the car. Erick and his men were hitting him ruthlessly. A man grabbed Scarlett's face and instructed her to stop screaming. He pulled her out without mercy and dragged her to one of the bikes parked in the middle of the road. "Wait, where exactly are you going to take her?" Juliette asked running behind them but was stopped by another one of them.The man spat back at her with a brusque response, "Of course, to enjoy...""No please leave us?" Scarlett pleaded with trepidation, tears cascaded down her eyes without stopping.The man snarled in response, "You better
Juliette's point of view... I was devastated. Just as I was on the brink of losing everything, a hero came into the frame and saved the damsel. I never thought I would be saved. The moment that mysterious warrior walked closer I knew it was him. Despite the fear that engraved my existence, I knew it was him. Not because of his appearance, not because of the soothing cologne he has, I don't know how but I knew it was him. "Mr... Richard..." I mumbled and at that particular moment, I wanted to hug him as tight as I could. But...! I couldn't. I resisted the urge to get close to him but before I could control it further, he pulled me in a tight embrace and I was like melting in his arms. "It's okay, you are safe now" he patted my back as if I were a terrified infant and for that moment I was indeed like a terrified kid."Just stay here" he made me stand properly while getting back to those goons. He effortlessly hit all those bastards' asses and strode back to me. My dress was to
Juliette's point of view... It's just a kiss, right? I wanted to give in. He made me sit on the footwear drawer next to the door. It was a bit higher and sitting on it gave me the perfect height needed to kiss him. I thought maybe he noticed it too. I closed my eyes as he stood up, raising my chin a bit. Isn't it the right style to kiss someone? I gulped down the lump formed in my throat as that damn nervousness was churning inside my gutt. Something was really off about me today, I even felt a slight pain in my gutt because of that nervousness. What the hell...! Is it that hard to get kissed by someone, I mean, I didn't feel any of this when that boy, Danny stole my kiss that day. Then why is this happening tonight? I rested both my hands on either side of my butt, anticipating that I might hold his silky blonde hair when he kisses but soon a jerk woke me up from my dreams. His hands slid towards my waist on the hoodie that I had been wearing all this time. I froze but didn'
Author's point of view... Finding herself at lack of words, Juliette wrapped herself in the bed sheet just like a cocoon. Richard chuckled at her reaction. Thinking of escaping from that room, Juliette almost jerked up from the bed but Richard held her back in place. "Stay still, you will hurt yourself""Let me check on the wound first" he slowly reached out for the sheet and Juliette turned red. "No...! Let it be..." she smacked his hand instantly. Out of all, getting touched by him again was the only thing she wouldn't want right now. "Stay still, Juliette..." he yelled a command as he grabbed both of her hands, pinning her on the bed. A silence spread in the air when their gaze locked. He was leaning on her so close, close enough for the warm air of their breath to caress each other's faces. Though unknowingly, they both froze. The time seems to be stopped at that very moment. But that closeness was a bit too much for a boy and girl, especially for a student and teacher. He
Juliette's point of view... I blurted out everything before Scarlett. Though I am a person who hides everything in, I felt good. Telling her was not that bad you know. Listening to my saddest story, she kept a poker face and sat beside me. I blinked in confusion. She was like, she was going to cry any moment. I never knew she was so sensitive. After a few minutes, she finally burst out, "Oh My God...! How could you fall for a man like that, Jul?" She grabbed my hand while her face puffed, her eyes pooled up and it finally broke. "I can't allow you to get heartbroken...boohoo" "You are exaggerating it Scar," I sniffed, it's not that I was in love with him, I just had a crush on him which is common for young girls like me, besides, that man is simply so handsome that no one can resist him. "Oh...! So you don't love him?" she asked awkwardly, I nodded, "It's definitely not love, Scar, I mean I don't know what love is, actually" "Hmm...okay" she got up and stood before me, some
Juliette's point of view... "Juliette...!" Mom shouted my name at the top of her lungs and I rushed opening my room door. Everything was fine up till now but the air in the house turned different in just a few minutes. "What happened Mom?" I asked and she pointed towards my phone in her hands. When the hell did I leave this? Ugh...! I am such an idiot? I rushed down to snatch the phone from Mom but she already saw a message popping up on the screen. God...! Damn it...! To those who are wondering why I don't have a lock on my phone, because Mom never allowed us, sisters to have a lock. According to her, we can't have any secret contacts. But the thing that I must fear about right now is the video playing. Scarlett sent me a video from that night, in which Mr. Richard is dancing intimately with a girl. Yep... That's me. She even wrote specifically to show this video to Mom. Pissed off...! Shit, I am so gone...! What the hell did she do? "Who are these people, Jul?" Mom ask
Richard's point of view...As I opened my eyes, there was a girl beside me. Surprised, I looked around if it was still my place wondering who she was and where I was. However, I was in my room and she was just an inch away from me I could see her little figure resting beside me. I never had someone so close to me, especially a git. Her tender skin was so smooth to the touch that I wondered if that was a feather or a girl's hand. She was responding to each of my touches which made me feel uncontrollably aroused. Her face was covered with her silky smooth drizzled hair. I slowly extended my fingers to terminate them just to see her face. She was sleeping. But still, her existence had made a big deal in me. My heart was fluttering inside my chest, beating like a uniformed drum beats yet so fast. When I reached those hair strands, I hesitated for a moment. Because I felt a familiarity with that girl's appearance. I don't know who this girl exactly was, but what if she was her? It ca
The ground was bustling with almost all the students from the school and the University. Richard took Juliette towards the ground and made her sit at one of the safest corners. Juliette never expected that Richard would bring her here. Soon Scarlett and Lissa joined her. The game began and it was then that Juliette spotted a known figure among the players. "Richard..." she exclaimed in shock to find Richard joining the team. "What was going on? Why is he there?" she mumbled to herself and stared at the ground puzzled. The refry whistled and the ball was tossed. Though it was the university guys to grabbed the ball first, it didn't take a minute for Richard to snatch the ball and throw it in the basket. "Wow...! That was the fastest basket that I had ever seen in this game" the commentator announced excitedly. Juliette felt a strange pride in her heart. When she looked up, Richard saw her in her direction which made her heart flutter. The whistle started the game again and Richard
Juliette's point of view... Though Logan managed to hit the break right on time, the car collided with the truck and stopped. I bumped into the deck that raised a strong pain in my head and gradually, lost consciousness for quite a while. When I finally got my senses back, I saw we were still in the car. Nobody cared if we were alive. I quickly check on Logan. He looked fine as the car was not damaged that bad but when I tried to wake him up, I was dumpfonded. His forehead was bleeding so much. I searched for my phone and called Harway right away. I struggled a lot to stop his wound from bleeding, while waiting for the ambulance. Soln Harway showed up with an ambiance following him. On the way to the hospital, I was still in a maze. My hands were still trembling. Seeing my condition, Harway reassured me that Logan will be fine. With the help of the staff, he took Logan on a stretcher and carried him to the Emergency Wing. I sat outside in the waiting area and started praying to
Author's point of view... "How about having fun with us...!" the man sneered and Juliette's heart skipped a beat as she quickened her pace, hoping to slip by unnoticed. But the menacing laughter that followed her every step told her she wasn't going to be let off that easily."Hey, sweetheart, where do you think you're going?" one of the guys called out, his voice dripping with malice. The alley was dark with almost no street lights nearby. The light from far away was barely enough to point out any moving creature in that way. That man switched on his phone light and focused on Juliette. The others followed him on their bikes, focusing their headlights on her as well. Juliett's pulse quickened, her mind racing for an escape route. She was like a deer caught amid city lights. Panicked. Terrified. She wanted to scream for help but being an isolated alley, it was doubtful if anyone could hear her. Yet she didn't want to give in, but before she could react, a voice cut through the an
Author's point of view... Both of them stood before the bed staring at it as a battlefield that was waiting for them. The bed in Richard's room was hardly sufficient for one person to sleep comfortably. Juliette swallowed hard at the thought of lying beside him. She awkwardly stole glances at him thinking that it was exactly like stepping on a triggered explosion. The burning sensation of her cheeks grew worse but Richard's condition stopped her from making any discussion. She strode towards the bed and grabbed a blanket to roll it and place it on the bed as a wall between them. They both lay down quietly. Her fragile body hardly covered one-fourth of the bed but no matter how long they tried, they couldn't sleep a wink. After twisting and tossing on the bed for a few minutes, Ricard finally started a conversation. "Juliette, is this necessary?" he removed the blanket slowly from the middle and Juliette jerked sitting up on the bed. "Yes...it is" She tried to snatch it back but
Juliette's point of view... "Miss... Miss Alissa" I greeted her trying to get up but she smirked pushing me back. "Juliette, right! I will remember you" I saw Alissa looking at me menacingly then she walked passing by, deliberately stepping on my hand. "Hey...!" I hissed in pain but she didn't see back. That woman is really something. I entered the class rubbing my hand and sat on my place. Lissa instantly turned around to ask me, "Jul, why was Miss Grey asking for you? Did you meet her just now?"Miss Grey...! So she was the new teacher they were all talking about. Beautiful and flirting with boys on the very first day...! I wonder what kind of a woman she is. Few more classes gone by at ease but before the long bell, an attendee walked in from the room and called my name. He said that Miss Grey wanted to see me in her office. I was not in the mood to face that woman at all but the man before me said that she just wanted to give me some materials about the class I missed toda
Juliette's point of view... The way he was staring at me, with his eyes narrowed and his forehead all creased, I thought he would shout at me or even worse. A fear crept into my heart when I slowly hung my head.Did I do something wrong? He stepped forward and I stepped back immediately. The temperature in the room seemed to be dropping every second. I was shivering inside out. "What do you take me for? Where did you get this money?" he asked in his husky voice but in a chilled tone. I gulped down to wet my throat before answering him. "I...I...sold my chain..." I stuttered and closed my eyes. He was very angry. I couldn't help but feel the anxiety building up inside me. But soon I felt his hand over mine, the one that I had extended towards him and opened my eyes. He kept a few more notes on top of that envelope. "Return the money to your friend and get back your chain, today" he said domineeringly and I looked up at him completely blank. "But..." I wanted to tell him that I d
Juliette's point of view... We reached his office and that shameless woman was still waiting for him inside, sitting on his chair. I sheepishly stood aside peeking at that woman. What an indecent creature...!!"Richard you are back..." she instantly stood up with a smile across her face but as she saw me, her smile faded away instantly."Richard..." she called so intimately, they look so close, "Why did you bring that kid back here?" she asked as her eyes rolled over me in disdain, stopping straight at our hands, still binding together.I twisted my wrist to free myself. Richard turned around and grabbed my wrist again while closing the door behind us."Miss Alissa Grey," he turned around and called that woman's name, "I want you to meet my wife, Mrs. Juliette Solomon" he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around me so intimately. A cold shiver run down my spine. I wiggled trying to free myself but he leaned closer and whispered. "Stop resisting or I will kiss you right before
Juliette's point of view... Even when Mr. Thompson was taking classes, my mind was swirling in a whirlwind of thoughts. Clutching the notes bundle in my hand, I recalled what that shop owner said. Richard was so much worried and was reluctant to remove that ring from his hand. I couldn't understand where to keep him, in the good side or the bad side. What is he in reality? The man who wanted to help me or a pervert who brought a woman to home? Where should I count him!! As I thought about it, if he did want to help me, why didn't he gave me the money directly? He didn't pay it directly but instead he asked Mr. Thompson to do it, just why? I am not the idiot that he thinks I am. He might be having ulterior motives behind his deeds. Fine, I won't accept his help, anyway. During the lunch hour, I strode towards his office to return the money I owed him but as I opened the door of his room, I was dumbfounded. He was crouching before a woman with his hands on her thighs and that w
Juliette's point of view... When Richard dropped me near the intersection, I saw Nathan and Scarlet waiting for me before the cafe. I initially planned to tell Richard everything about the money I needed but after hearing his mother scolding him, I was clear about one thing he himself was in short of cash, what would he possibly do to help me? I wish I was a Cinderella and he was my prince charming or at least a hidden billionaire or something like that. But...! Fictions are fiction and reality sucks. He was just a normal man with a low bank balance who could not help me right now with my situation. I called Scarlett earlier to ask her to accompany me to the pawn shop as that was my only way out. I needed the money so badly and as my family was not responding, I had no other choice but to pawn the only precious thing with me, my platinum chain. It was a gift from Mom when I stood first in my tenth standard. I never wanted to lose it but today I am hopeless. Though I called Scar
