[ Emerald ]
After lots of teasing,laughing and talking about random stuffs we read about him over the media .He asked me for a walk along the small park.
I happily agreed with his idea as I wanted to feel some fresh air.We started walking slowly over the damp grass.It soothed my aching feet as I walked barefoot so did he.
"Why you bring me here?"I stuttered looking nervously at him and then at the marvelous fountains.
"To spend a beautiful evening with my friend."He smiled sheepishly and forwarded his hand for me to take.I didn't budge him and placed my palm on his hand.
We silently walked along the hitting waves.
"I used to walk with my Dad whenever he took me to the Central Park on every Sunday.He used to tell me of his own childhood at his grandmother's house and his notorious pranks on her grumpy brother."I remembered those days and smiled.
[ Davian ]I put my coat on the back of the leather chair and settled myself on the it.A smile curved on my lips finding my coffee and schedule .It means Olivia had come.This woman has not only proved herself a worthy employee also manages my office hours equally smoother.On her first week of doing job in my company.At least she is better than my useless wife and her friend that b*tch Courtney.She thought that she has capacity to tame my heart which actually doesn't exist.I clenched my fists in anger recalling the last night when denied me sex because she felt guilty of sabotaging her best friend.Now she can go to hell as well.Leaning on my leather chair,I remembered the first day,she started her job as my personal assistant."Impressive."I muttered taking a sip.I opened the file which contains biannual report of Knight Inc.'s Income and ex
[ Emerald ]"I can't believe you didn't tell them."Damien trailed behind me in our way out of the airport."I'll tell them once we check in our hotel Damien morever I don't think so they should have agreed if I told them".I dabbed my sweaty face to wipe off the humidity from my skin.This is the only thing I dislike about non frigid climate.My face now bare of any make up,it was long washed by excessive sweating."Davian knows?"He asked offering me a water bottle once we settled in the waiting VIP waiting lounge of the airport premises.We decided to reach at our destination in separate ways to avoid any scandal."Frankly it's none of his business what I do in my personal life as long as it doesn't effect his public reputation.Trust me he has least concern for me whether I am alive or rotting in a Sahara Desert."I told him.He only nodded his head in unders
[ Davian ]I directly strides to my room while Andy goes to the dining hall.I prefer a quick shower before the dinner in my old room of my grandparents' house.I was more than happy when my so called wife told me that she is going to England for some business purpose but somebody has to kill the mood and that somebody is my old man Darian Knight.Heading to my room,I slips out of my formals and fetch a forest green tee and black track pant.Knowing my parents well that they will make a fuss over something for sure,I already told Roger to be ready if the dinner turns out to a bust ,at least I can have a lavish meal at some restaurant.While combing my hairs,I have a very precise feeling that it isn't a sort of dinner but something is cooking in the old man 's mind but what..well for that I should reach there first.My myriad of thoughts come to a halt when one of our maid kn
[ Emerald ]Next morning my slumber broke with a sharp headache which caused after crying for hours.I tried to open my eyes but bright sunrays didn't help me ."Mon Chere you slept too much."I heard his soft voice near my head.After struggling for a couple of minutes my eye sight adjusted in the sun brighten room then on him who was looking at me with concern filled eyes."I am fine."I lied in a low tone."Well I can see that."He gave me an unbelievable look thus his full body flashed in front of me.I closed my eyes again due to the increasing pain in my head.It seems,I have to make an appointment with my doctor.I started experiencing severe migraine after the incident.With a long proper treatment they rarely strikes me but whenver I feel them,trust me that's hellish.The sound of the drawer opening brought me out of my
[ Emerald ]"Antonio is right,this diner is heaven for food lovers."I moaned digging my fork in the luscious pasta loaded with pamesssano cheese."Nothing else can make your day better than devouring hone cooked meals."I put my fork on the plate and looked around in the tiny noisy diner."This dish has been served to its loyal customers since a long time with no compromise in taste and flavours.When I say it,I mean it because I never leave Italy before eating every next night here."Damien told me."I am the new addition in their long fans' list."I took a sip of my coffee."Hey you have a little sauce there."Damien pointed on my face.I grabbed the napkin and about to wipe my lips when he took it from my hand."Let me help you or you'd smudge your lipstick."He said and carefully dabbed the corner of my lips,in the process,his cold finger brushed on my heated
[ Emerald ]"Thanks Damien.""May I know why this beautiful woman walking beside me is thankful?"His lips curved upward.We were wandering in the night after his surprise,he actually took me to a stable where we enjoyed horse riding.The best adventure of my life after a thrilling scooba diving on the coast of Mexico three years ago.The rattling of crickets eased the deadly silence."For everything I thought I would never experience in this lifetime.I lost my motive to live but you uplifted my zeal and start a fresh beginning."I poured my feelings."La tua felicità è la cosa più importante per me amore mio"He grinned and dropped a kiss on my knuckle."Damien what are you saying?"I had no idea what he said in his thick Italian accent but even if he called me an ugly duckling,I still swoon how his curved jaw mov
[ Damien ]What is she doing to me?When did she started effecting me?I thought to myself.Our wild moments replayed in my mind.How could I loose my control.She was not someone I dared to play.Of coarse she was one of those few women I truly respect but there is another truth that she was not my type.She is so naive.I turned the knob of the shower once my hormones cooled down after our wild encounter.I was angry on myself .She must be feeling low of me as I always see respect for me in her eyes .Unlike everyone ,she doesn't see me as a man whore but her Boss who is very successful in his business and it is the reason I chose her to play the part if my temporary wife because she would never want anything from me.Hours passed but I could not sleep nor ignore the innocent blush that crept on her cheeks .She had the most supple li
[ Emerald ]I felt something hard against my cheek. I could hear rapid heartbeats.When I opened my eyes ,the person's face caught my sight.The devil handsome was sleeping with slightly open mouth.His forehead had creases as if he was in deep anxiety.I gulped looking down as his intense eyes filled with worry landed on me.He realized something and immediately pulled himself out of the bed.He stood above me and before I could think further,he swooped me in his arms now my head was pressed into his chest.I was feeling embarrassed."Damien put me down please.."I stammered feeling shy while he walked towards the bathroom.I could not look up to him after our last night moments.He made me sit on the slab of zaccuzi and gave me my toothbrush."I can manage Damien can you go out?"I requested.He nodded silentl
[ 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
