[ Emerald ]
"Ma'am...wake up..it is not the place for you to sleep..."I heard an unfamiliar female voice.
My body didn't cooperate with my brain.I tried to move myself but I couldn't as it became numb with coldness during last night.
My whole body had the soreness due to the stiffened muscles.
"Ma'am please wake up before anybody could see you."This time the owner of the voice jerked me a little.
I somehow lifted up my eye lashes thus her face came in the contact of my retinas.She was a pale white women in her thirties most probably the head maid whom I met when I was welcomed in the castle.
I looked here and there to know about my whereabouts and found myself leaning on the wall beside a huge wooden doo
[ Emerald ] "Mr. and Mrs. Knight we're landing at Honolulu International Airport in fifteen minutes please tie your seatbelts."The flight attendant informed us. Oh I forgot to mention,my husband is damm rich to own a private plane with all luxuries. Hours of long flight journey exhausted me physically though I slept most of the time or watched Netflix to kill those suffocating hours in the presence of Davian who kept typing furiously on his laptop throughout.Not for a once he spared a glance in my direction. As if I am dying for His Majesty's attention.I rolled my eyes on my own thoughts.It is actually good for both of us if we avoid crossing each other's path.I agreed on this fake chaos for my old grandparents' and I am never going to disappoint them. The plane smoothly landed on the runway.I could see the bright su
[ Davian ]I stormed out of the house,anger pulsating in my veins.I can not stand that gold digger bitch called my wife.She has ruined everything.Did she really think I would enjoy a real fucking honeymoon with her.Well only in her nightmares.Right now I am driving off to meet the woman who can give me an amazing distraction from my conspired marriage.The woman I had sex with for the last time and now I badly need to release the sexual tension arising inside me with passing moments but how am I going to tame the hot tempered woman.She isn't easy to meddle by only my charms and that's why she is my favorite partner.I halted the car in front of the same house which I visited only once or perhaps twice but it's intimidated simplicity something that gave a chirk to me.The faint light coming through the closed window was the proof that she was inside the house.I bought this
[ Emerald ]I woke up to the sharp glare of coastal sunrays which were falling from the windows.My head throbbed with pain due to the last night's cries.The bitter memories flashed into my memories.Sliding off the bed lazily,I briskly walked to the window to feel the morning breeze.I felt some relief when warm fresh air slapped across my face.I took a moment to reflect on my life.It feels like yesterday I was a normal girl,weaving a future with her love,trying her best to save her family's legacy,hunting for investors and now when I observe the big stone on my finger,harsh reality dawned upon me.I am married to a cruel heartless rich CEO,who seems like a Knight in Shining Armour who saved us from our doom but what it cost me,only my soul knows.I jerked out of my reverie when I heard a soft knock on the door.I didn't had to guess who could it be."Come
[ Emerald ]His crystal blue eyes pierced through me.With a pounding heart ready to jump out of my rib cage,I tried to scurry towards my room but it seems luck was really on my side."Where the hell were you?"His angry voice echoed in the four walls having a velocity to creak the glass in windows.I flinched on his harshness but pretended uneffcted or it was just my misunderstanding.I heard his fierce steps and next second I knew I was pinned on the nearest wall.His strong hands gripped my forearms mercilessly making me whimper in pain which didn't affect him in fact his grip tightened more.It will surely leave a big bruise later and I have to wear full clothes in the deadly humid weather suffocating me to death."I ask you something you bitch.Where the hell were you since morning?"He hushed near my shoulder.His each word drops a clear warning and the ne
[ Emerald ]I twitched open my eyes but shut them instantly as they burnt due to the lack of sleep for the entire night.I kept pondering over my uncertain future lost in the sense fog of fears,insecurities and a toxic relationship.I laid flatly on the soft bed and glanced at the digital clock placed on the night stand; 6:15 AM,it read.The dawn spread it's first signs in the horizon but it was still very early morning.Sighing,I rolled off from the bed and headed for my morning routine.I just cleaned and brushed my face.It was too early for a shower.I slowly tip toed out of my room and padded to the kitchen to make mudra strong cup of black coffee to start a new day.The kitchen lights were off,it meant Nancy was still in her room.It was strange as in my two days stay in this house,I usually spot her doing her job by five thirty.She starts with cleaning and make our breakfast around
[ Emerald ]Soon evening crept in,I didn't do much in the entire day just slept or read new gossip flooding over the news channels about famous people and guess what I found our story from different angles in the highlights of media.They presented their different narrative on our sudden and unexpected wedding and I could find traces of truth in most of them.Thus realization settled in me,he agreed to take me with him to the party to break the bubbles of fake gossips about our 'wedlock of 'love'."Emerald we are getting late do you understand.I don't have entire evening to wait upon Her Royal Highness."His annoyed shouting came from the living room."I am coming just one minute."I yelled back rolling my eyes on his continuous ranting on before giving a final glance at mirror to check my appearance.I can't afford to give him the tiniest reason to ridicule me in front of th
[ Emerald ] "Emerald Sweetheart please come and meet my college friends."Davian called me.They were standing at a few meters away from me. I couldn't not miss the mischievous glint in the wolfish gaze of his male friends while the girls shot me one of those obvious distasteful glance that I have been receiving since I adapted the title of Mrs. Davian Knight.The word still feels alien and sour. They stood a far feom the rest of the bunch of guests much to my uneasiness.I would not be safe without a crowd where he acts all loving and caring husband. I had an intuition in my heart that this meeting won't end on a pleasant note. "Hey guys meet my beautiful wife Emerald Greene."Davian slide his hand on my lower back and pulled me on his side a little too harsh.Surely,the alcohol was overpowering his system. Thanks to my acquittance with heels or I would h
[ Emerald ] I was tired of continuous scooting on the narrow lanes of the city in the darkness of the night. I walked aimlessly on the deserted road for hours,having no clue where to go,I could not go back to the beach house,where the beast must be waiting for his prey,that's me. It was hell I have been suffering untilfive hours ago.He gave me the scars not on my body only but on my soul also. I could only hear the howls of stray dogs from far probably in the left side lane giving chills down my spine but I must not stop ,it would trap me back there where I don't wish to go back. Exhausted by running with an empty stomach and bruises all over my wrist,I sat under the street light pole.The sky had only dull starlight .The deserted lanes gave me a ghostly feeling. The city was draped in the sheet of scaring silence that could shake even a rock
[ Emerald ]I laid the little fairy in her crib which was made up of fine mahogany wood with beautiful hamd carving on it."My girl..ohh God how much I love you.."I kissed her little grown black hairs while she was staring me with her black doe blue eyes that filled my heart with warmth of having her so close to me.I slide my hand into my jeans' pocket and took out the same rectangular box which was keeping with me since my childhood.I opened the lid of the box and took out a thin gold chain with a heart shaped locket .It was a token of love and blessings from my father which I have been saving as the reminder of his immense love for me."Baby this is from your Grandpa."I said sliding it in her neck which she grabbed in her tiny hand.Suddenly the door crwaked open and Damien stepped inside with his ver charming smile which had been stuck on his lips sin
[ Emerald ]A week passed and Davian's condition was stable then.We lost all hopes but it wasn't less than a miracle when doctor told us that they saw improvement in him though he still didn't wake up.After visiting Davian in the hospital I went to office.I couldn't miss my work.It was already very hard for me to keep both ends meet though a few days back Damien offered his financial support for my companyBut it offended my self reliance.I brought up my son without anyone's aid and I was able to provide him the best I could within my capabilities.I played with the pen in my hand processing my next decision.My mind again diverged to last evening when Damien came face to face with David.And today I made my mind to put an end to this instability in our lives.Damien needs his father and David deserves some love,which I am not sure Damien would give him and his sons are his last hope.
[ Damien ]Mr. David Knight's eyes landed on me and I could feel he stiffened finding me in the most unexpected place but then his gaze fell on my hand which wrapped securely around Emerald."How it happened?"He asked her, vulnerability in his voice reflected his pain."Olivia Grayson shot him."Emerald replied,her own eyes zeroed on the ICU door."And Davian?"His voice cracked a bit."I..do..don't know."She looked away hiding her tears.I felt suffocated in the presence of the man who fathered me.It was the first time I actually let him come too close to me so I decided to leave before anything could change between us.I still hate the man who ran away from his responsibility and somewhere he is the reason my own mother loathed me."Emerald I'll see you later."I squeezed her shoulder.She raised her head a
[ Damien ]"Hey Dustin is asking for you and Caleb.Please come to see him if possible in the evening.The Knights won't be there."~ Emerald.I read her text messege and threw my phone on the couch of my private room.The faint disco music coming from the club on the ground floor of increased the pain in my head.Who parties in bright day.Of coarse this new generation and some old drunkards.I should meet Dustin.The man helped me a lot to win her back and his lover Caleb too is dying to see him but Dustin stopped him."May I come in?"I heard the most annoying female voice."Won't you come if I say no."I threw my head to other side avoiding the dirty smirk on her face."Well I am standing inside."Like she said,she was standing at the front me."Courtney I apologized a thousands time to Emerald and no
[ Emerald ]"No Chase please put the gun down.She has nothing to do with our matter and she is pregnant."Davian begged the Chase guy."Really thanks for the information now the thrill will be doubled by killing two birds with single shot and Davian Knight rot in living hell for killing another unborn."He laughed and tightened his iron grip on me.My mind stopped functioning.Was he serious?"Please don't kill my baby."I pleaded in my broken voice and coughed badly."Oh kitten say this to your dearest ex husband.He is responsible for your death."He roamed the gun point on my temple."You should feel ashamed of yourself Chase.You are not different from me."Davian said."Why should I be ashamed because I want to punish the sinner of my sister?"The man huffed ."I am not her culprit,she surrendered herself to me on her own will
[Emerald ]"Are you sure he went in the woods of countryside?"I asked Morris the driver."Yes Ma'am .."he assured me while navigating the car in the opposite direction of the city."It is an hour's drive from the our current location.Can you make it in less time?""Sure Ma'am we'll be there in no time.."he answered and the car took an accelerated turn to the deserted lane.My heart was praying for my husband's wellbeing because after getting a death blow from Olivia ,I can bet people may go to any extent in the possessive love.Soon I saw our car piercing lone narrow way in the tall canopies of dense ghostly forest .It kind of gave me cold shiver because no living creature could be spotted all around .I drew my attention back on my lap to avoid the hollow feelings to overpower my timid heart .He drove for more ten minutes when he finally
[ Emerald ]I was trying to peek through the curtains of OT to have a glimpse of my best friend .David wasn't there otherwise I didn't had to do such childish attempt ,he would have permitted me to go inside and see him because doctor took him to complete some formalities and they told us to wait for some more time to meet Dustin as they need to monitor him for a little longer before allowing anyone inside.I stepped back when someone from inside clicked the door open.My heart begun to pump rapidly as by the expression of the nurse,nothing could be said.She glanced at me and then to David and Samantha who were more anxious than me and stormed towards her withincouple seconds."You can meet him now but make sure,he won't get any kind of stress.It may effect his brain."She said in monotonous tone and again went inside along with David.I looked at the glass door
[ Emerald ]It was ten in the night and the silence enveloped the castle in its deadly influence.I was leaning on the window piller staring at the dark sky with few patches of clouds after the rainfall retreated.The buzzing of crickets coming from every direction was the only sound that become my solo companion in the heavy loneliness.Its been two weeks but there was no improvement in Dustin's condition.Every time doctors repeat their same line .Mr. and Mrs. Knight hospital were staying in the hospital for day hours though Davian asked them to stay but his dad told him to look after the business which couldn't be neglected .Still Davian used to be at hospital in the evening hours to late night.Yes Davian.His whole behaviour changed after Dustin's accident.He didn't object my presence in the hospital nor he passed any of his snarky comments or hateful glares which confused me.
[ Emerald ]A wave of sudden churn ran through my spine when I witnessed him standing near the window .His back was facing me as he was talking over the phone while his left hand wad tucked in his pant pocket."Damien your green tea.."I managed to utter between my fluctuate breathing when he turned back and his alpha eyes met with mine.He murmured something to the person he was talking with and slide his phone in his pocket."Are you fine?"he knitted his brows together at me with a questionable gaze.His eyes were calculating .They could read my heart .We stood there in complete silence prevailing in the air.His intense eyes piercing through my skin .They were turning cloudy grey from softer with the blazing fire of desires but didn't utter a single word probably waiting for me to speak.The man knew how to tease me with his killing mysterious emotions."I
