Juliette's point of view... I was already taken aback by the presence of the honorable teacher. Damn... My life sucks...! Unable to look into his eyes I was already struggling hard in that classroom when another disturbance made his way towards the classroom. DJ...! Wow... What a greatest package for the day...! The hunk walked over to my direction giving me goosebumps across the skin. My hands and legs went numb and I couldn't help but wipe out my palms again and again against the crop top to clear the sweat accumulating. I felt a sudden chill as his steps enhanced. Oh... God...! Wasn't one enough...? Why did you send another one to wreck my brain? With his chocolatey brown waves, chiseled jawline, and impeccable physique, the boy stood in front of the desk right a few steps ahead to me. One hand in the pocket of his jeans and the other one holding the strap of the bag on his shoulder. There was a tattoo on his arm which I never noticed, a dragon encircling a rose. Damn...!
Juliette's point of view... I stared at DJ with a clenched jaw and a wide-eyed expression. Blood rushed to my face as he winked at me mischievously.Sniffing I quickly retracted my eyes from his smirking face and set them on Lisa back as she continued her bombarding questions. She hissed from behind her, "Psst! You guys know each other! You truly aren't dating, right?""No...!" I replied and grabbed my bag to leave the classroom, I still have a battle to fight. "Hey babe, let me come with you" he got up shouting while running towards me. Oh God... What the hell...! "Wait!!"I looked at him from the corner of her eyes, "Uh...! what?" I was irritated by his nagging behind me like a middle aged woman. He walked closer while settling his arm around my shoulder. I brushed him off, "Will you stop this...!" I snorted, "Go find your girlfriend just stop messing around with me" I yelled and he grinned. "I found my girlfriend," Enough of his torture...! I already have more than enough i
Richard's point of view...I shouldn't be affected by that girl and I tried my level best to avoid any kind of conflict with her, all these days.But...! I just can't figure out why she ended up in my class again. Looking at her sitting in front of me again, my mind was in a complete tangle. What the heck is going on in my life...! I couldn't help but steal glances at her while taking the class and that damn pen between her lips made me lose my sanity as I stared at it being pressed. Damn...! I was already having a hard time with her sitting in front of me when that brat walked into the class to explode me. Ugh... This is hell. This morning Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Alberto, the soccer team coach had requested me to allow a few of their students in my class. They said they are trying to send them for some kind of competition abroad and wanted me to teach them French which I don't know how will help them. Whatever...! I shouldn't have accepted that. He walked in and made his way to t
Juliette'd point of view... I know he is handsome but an as****e at the same time and I couldn't stop myself from showing him his place. How dare he try to control my life? I never have that liberty to anyone other than my Mom. Not even his so-called fiancee. Enough of his interference in my life. I am tired of him already. I pushed him and yelled back at him, ready for any kind of consequences. No more worries about being a teacher's pet around him. He is a jerk...! What will he do you me? Will he hit me back? More or less, he will just brag about everything before Mom, right!! Let him...! Bring it on...! I was completely prepared that I wouldn't let him control my life. But...!! He didn't do anything of those things that I expected and instead, he did something which I couldn't even imagine in my wildest dreams. Suddenly he leaned forward and blocked my lips with his. All those words in my throat stuck up and my breath almost stopped. What just happened...! My hands and l
Juliette's point of view... I jumped up in surprise and my back hit the shelf behind me.In front of me was Richard with a notorious smirk on his face but before I could blink or even take the next breath, I felt myself being pulled towards him."What he...!" he covered my mouth again but fortunately with his hand this time. He grabbed me by the arm and yanked me to himself, my chest crashed against his hard one. I felt a bolt of current passing through my entire body. I couldn't help but stare at him with big wide eyes and before I could push him off, I heard a series of thuds beside me. It was silence in the library and those noises resounded so heavily. With frowns all over my forehead, I looked at the floor behind me and saw the books from the top shelf lying there. They must have fallen when I hit my back against the shelf."Easy..." he said in a very hushed voice. His fingers were still wrapped around my wrist which was pressed up against his chest.I could feel something te
Juliette's point of view... "Aahh...! What the hell is wrong with you?" Richard groaned in pain and I almost jerked to help him up but soon that bitchy side of mine took over and I pulled my hand back which was extended towards him as help. Why should I? Actually, he deserves it.Rolling his eyes over me arrogantly, he stood up with a bounce. He was quite active by the way. "You don't even know the common manners which we learn in kindergarten, you are quite rude" "Yeah... And the so-called manners include following someone around at night, and kissing someone without their consent" I mumbled grabbing my bag and simply turning around to walk away before he could start something else. But he stopped me again, and this time more fiercely, "What the...!" I didn't dare to talk more, because he pulled me against his chest and to be honest he was dangerously close. I felt every word was sucked in. Then a little uneasiness crept over, what if he does the same thing again? "That wasn
Juliette's point of view...I stood frozen when this man before me was trying hard to drag me towards the pool where so many people were dancing with their clothes all wet. I literally felt disgusted at the sight of those clothes hugging their body like another skin like nothing on and yet they didn't care at all. I can never imagine doing something like that. In short, I wanted to jerk my hand back from his grip but he didn't give me any chance. Praying God for help, I looked in the direction where Lisa went just now, who is nowhere to be seen. And luckily as if God had listened to my prayers, I got a chance. A guy wearing nothing but shorts came running towards the deck of the large pool in front of us and jumped high up, he did a backflip in the air, and dropped into the pool, splashing water everywhere. A collective roar erupted from the people around the pool as they cheered him on excitedly and as the water splashed on Logan's face too, he left my hand to wipe it out.Here
Juliette's point of view... "Stop making a fuss while I am still being nice..." I grunted softly, pushing her little backward controlling my urge so strongly not to hit that bitch. But nothing goes right with me anyway. As I sheltered my hands extending it between us, I accidentally touched her boobs and she gritted irritated, it was of course not on purpose but I couldn't help it. She was annoyingly getting on Lisa and I had to stop her. "Awe... You shameless bitch..." she shouted and pushed me back, deliberately clasping my left boob. Crab...! This is embarrassing. All those around were quite enjoying the cat's fight. But I turned red in annoyance. "I'm going to kill you," Lisa scowled forward and got ready to launch herself at Jessica with her fists closed tightly but before she could do anything, Andrew came in the frame from behind, and grabbed her by the waist, holding her to her place."No more fuss for today. She's not worth it," he said, giving a distasteful look to Jes
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
