[ 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
[ Emerald ]Diandra forgot all about my existence as she gets herself loose on the dance floor while I found the little amount of alcohol already doing its work in my system.I felt my legs wobbly steading in my high heels."Hey sister come on and lets get wasted."Dustin yelled for me but before I could approach him,a red haired girl threw herself on him.I could see his flirtious smile and he too found himself a perfect dance partner.I looked away seeing them having the real experience of happiness.Stepping down from the floor,I was about to return back to the private lounge when two arms pulled me back and I hit a hard chest."Welcome to my place Me Amor."The same raspy voice hushed in my ear.I gasped swiftly turning to face the owner of such intimidating yet sexy voice.There I met the same oceanic blue cold eyes staring at me."Damien you-"He c
[ Emerald ]"Ethan try to understand we are over now.I am married to someone else and this is the reality you should accept.Just stop this and try to move on.I hope you will find a better soul than me.We can't be together again."I looked into his painful eyes begging silently for me to swallow back my words.I yelped in pain as he pulled me harshly towards him making our chests bumped.This is not my Ethan.His eyes were dripping anger and madness like a psychopath."Move on,are you serious?I have been trying to reach you by all possible means since the day,your so called wedding's news was clouding the media.Do you even realise how I felt in the moment I saw the picture of that motherf*cker Davian and you exchanging your vows.I lost my world as someone cut through my heart but I wanted to meet you and ask you the reason behind your -"His voice broke as he shook his head to hide his vulnerable state from me.
[ Emerald ]"Damien stop you have my swear."And he paused in the middle air.He glared at a wincing Ethan who almostlost his senses,his face battered by the hard blows from Damien,his mouth spat blood whenever he coughed.My heart shattered into zillion of pieces.The man with whom I had once woven my dream future with him but he just not only raided my body but also assassinated my soul.Damien tore his eyes from him not before spitting with disgust.His dark icy eyes melt as soon as they landed on me.I saw traces of hurt and remorse into those swirls of ocean.He took small steps where I slumped down on thr floor,sobbing hysterically on Diandra's chest while Dustin stood in a corner,his face held the same grimace.Damien leaned on his knees to match my level.His deep breaths fell on my shoulders."He will rot in hell that's my promis
