[ 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 until
five 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 ] There was something in the way his blue eyes lingered on me stirring the whirlpool of emotions in my heart.I knew it was wrong,insane but those eyes had their own charm. I was in a myriad of dilemma.First,I wove a future with my love Ethan,who had been calling and texting me like maniacs.He didn't deserve me.I betrayed him not once but multiple times.I was sold in a marriage to a husband who despises me as a fatal decease. "Okay.I have to make a call,I'll be back in five minutes."He whispered tenderly. I nod my head feeling my cardiac muscles relaxed and he bolted towards the balcony.I walked inside the bathroom to take wash my face and remove my make up to erase the mental as well as the physical stress I was holding since morning. After freshening up,I made my way out of the room to the kitchen he showed me earlier and put the kettle on the flame to boil
[ Emerald ]"You don't have to do this if you're not feeling like to I mean you still have an option."Damian's voice radiated concern.His slim fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly causing them to turn white."I do but-"I sighed and licked my dry lips,"I am not a coward either.I can't give him the satisfaction of labeling me by the adjectives he entitled me last night."My heart sank by the predicted reaction once I cross the threshold of the house that stood a few meter away from where Damian parked his car.The beach house."Okay I respect you decision if you want to face him but remember I am just a call away in case he do something he must not to a woman or I say to his wife."Damien said in gruff tone.I smiled seeing the worry in his blue eyes for a complete stranger though I discovered we are relatives not so long ago.Should I expect the same from the
[ Emerald ]The car ride was awkwardly silent.I sticked my face on the glass window to feel the icy numbness on my burning head not because of fever but the uneasy feeling of facing the old Mr.Darian Knight and his wife Mrs. Elizabeth Knight whom I only meet a couple or more times before the marriage but this time I was going to be presented as his grandson's lawfully wedded wife,who just returned from their honeymoon.We came back to New York two days ago after our fight and my counter back,he declared in the evening that we would be flying back to our city as he had a very important business meeting scheduled suddenly.It took me a hard sleepless night to prepare myself for the family meeting when Damien,my 'husband' texted me to get ready for a lunch at his grandparents' place in the morning.He doesn't return to his penthouse in the night,I know where he goes which I least care about as far as he doesn'
[ Emerald ]I was sitting with Mrs. Kmight in her library with our coffee.She didn't give those skeptical look which I received from her husband but I wasn't at ease either.She gave me a tour of their mansion while Davian was discussing some business with his grandfather that's what I guess."So what reason you find in my grandson that proves he will be a good husband for you?.I mean you gave your approval of this proposal when your grandparents asked you?"Mrs. Knight ran her finger on the rim of her cup.Her sharp brown eyesI couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth.She was all kind to me and treated me with love."I know he is not what people made him in the eye of world.He is different."I made up an instant excuse and it worked as her brows twisted in amusement."I know you're different,"she out the empty cup on the table ."That's why my choose you
[ Emerald ]Nervousness again strike me as I could see Fabian's parents and his sister entering inside the mansion with my Maa Papa.Aderline rushed in my blood and I could not hold myself from running into their arms."Maa."I clutched her old tiny frame crying hard on her shoulder.All the emotions I locked in my heart vent out when her soothing touch caressed my back."My sweet baby I missed you so much."She cooed me like I was still her baby girl."I missed you terribly."I sniffed ans broke the hug to turn to greet my grandfather.His old eyes pooled with emotions though he was trying to hide them but I knew he was missing me the most."Papa I am angry on you."I crossed my arms across my chest forgetting all fiasco of my life at the moment."First give your old man a bear hug then complain as much as you can."He stretched his arms and I couldn't control my
[ Emerald ]Days started rolling on but my husband's coldness towards me didn't budge and I decided to adapt myself to live like a trophy wife.I am still on my 'wedding leave' my grandparents basically forbade me to enter in the premises of my office building and I had nothing to do except to kill my time by reading books.Davian has a private library adjacent to his office where I spend most of my day hours.I love reading classics.We never shared a word.Sometimes I wonder how we were living under the same roof but neither I nor he knew anything about each other or our life.Like my husband ,my in laws parents never treated me like a non living object except Davian and his baby sister Dalliah but even their comforting company didn't fill the hollowness of my heart.I too deserved a married life in which my husband shower his care a
[ Emerald ] Finally the most awaited day has arrived,I was waiting and dreading.It was Saturday and unlike his robotic schedule,Davian stayed at home,of coarse in his home office to avoid any sort of encounter with me. After having my hearty meal prepared by the chef,who comes thrice in a week.I was killing my time by watching my favorite series 'Game of Thrones' for umpteenth time.I can never get bored of it,suddenly the door bell rang,sending me the alarm to be prepared to welcome my sisters-in-law. No sooner I opened the door,two arms came crushing me literally squeezing life out of me.It took me a moment to balance two bodies to prevent falling on the hard marble floor. "I have never been mote excited in my life before,a whole weekend with my CEO sister in law."Diandra's chirpy voice deafened my ears. I somehow steadied my feet from her continuous kangaroo jumping
[ Emerald ] Memories flooded my mind from the night,I last visited the place,my wedding,Ethan,my drunken fiasco and a stranger whom I plated my virginity. "Hey sister hurry up before someone catch us,we are not from some ordinary clans."I felt a gentle tug on my wrists and found Diandra giving me an impatient look,little did she know,my life turned three sixty degree and I hold no jocund memory of this place as youth of the city calls it the 'heaven of youngsters'. "Club Blue Stone" I read the name of the club illuminating in bold alphabets.A never ending line of boys and girls were swarming over the bulky bouncers to give them an entry where the board they placed clearly showed they are already packed for the night. My driver parked the car in the backside of the club as per Dalliah's instructions.She told me we didn't need an entry pass as
