◓ Maze ◕
In the evening,
After returning home, I waited all day yet couldn't even manage to find a glimpse of Imogen. Instead, I unnecessarily ended up fighting with Ryan.
Gosh!! What had I done to deserve all this?! I frustratedly covered my face exhaling a deep sigh.
"Stop all this now. Trust me everything will be fine soon," Veronica slapped my arm almost knocking me off.
I shot her a glare, but immed
Ryan reflected a lot about the unnecessary fight he picked up with Maze. He shouldn't have done that. He should've dealt with the matter more maturely. He should've owned his mistakes rather than yelling at her.After spending the whole day thinking about multiple things, he decided to talk to her again. It's better to talk rather than retain it in mind.Just as he was about to dash into her wing, he saw her..Striding speedily..Leaving the hall on frightened feet, like a wanderer, she stopped after reaching the open court and took a deep breath bending down with her hands touching her knees. She looked tired, and took long deep breaths, inhaling through her nose and exhaling through her mouth, until she was calmer and the palpitations
Maze hurried to find Ryan, leaving Veronica by herself to enjoy her show.After searching for a while, he found Ryan sprawled idly on the sofa playing with his phone. He seemed excited and anxious at the same time. At least based on her observation, Ryan grinned three times to himself without any particular reason. Or the thing he is watching on his phone is really that much interesting causing him to laugh all by himself.Maze walked to him and sat by his side, but Ryan was too busy by himself that he didn't notice her presence in the room."AHEM," Maze coughed intending to drew his attention.Ryan looked up in the direction of her, and widened his eyes hiding a laugh."Seemed you are having fun" Maze teased arching her brow, while occupying the seat across him.Ryan laughed and nodded his head in assertive response,"Yeah. But how did you know?"Maze winked, sticking her tongue out,"Look how far your lips have stretched. You left no
It was already mid of April. The climate seemed to have its own flavor and its own "temperament".Because their restaurant was on the top floor of the building, they were very close to the clouds. Looking at the amount of heavy clouds like cotton floating in the sky, it seems that it can rain at any time.Tiny mist droplets drizzled onto the closed glass pane with a light tinkle, creating a rhythmical musical tune that doubtlessly was perceived by quite a few.Maze loved the place with an amazing rooftop view of the city.She has never seen the bustle of a city from s
The engine of the car was cut dead as they reached their destination. Maze prepared to leave and tried to unbuckle her seatbelt. But even after few more attempts, she failed in unstrapping it.She then turned to Ryan and informed him about it.Ryan laughed and moved to help her," I said it was faulty,"Maze whined while Ryan moved more closer to him, almost leaving no gap between them. His hand reached the other side, pressuring to unlock the belt while their eyes met each other. Maze lowered her eyes instantly, she didn't like him being this close. But she understood as Ryan was only trying to help.Ryan on the other hand was fascinated by being too close to her. Her plumpy lips attracted her to atta
Imogen was exhausted, the kind of wearied in which no quantity of sleep appeared to gratify him. He just aspired to place his head on her warm chest, skin upon skin, and fall asleep to the vibrations of her heartbeats. But he could do neither of those things. For once again, life had come tumbling in and philandering with his peace, stimulating it to go straying, and once again it had won.Imogen decided to leave before his vulnerable side gets exposed to others that he didn't want at all to happen. He despised the way Orion's word pricked his heart. But he had no choice but to leave silently.Fergus and Veronica were having fun and laughing over some funny joke cracked by Fergus. Veronica was almost out of her breath, trying hard to control her laughter, while Fergus kept on m
Petal perched in the black swivel chair with great excitement and began to sway her legs. The three young men in front of her were no less entertaining to her than any animal in the zoo. She was more thrilled by the annoyed look on Orion's face, he seemed like he was going to eat her alive but can't do that at all because he is trapped in an iron cage.She nictated her eyes at Fergus who was still staring at her in awe without blinking a second. She too was surprised to see so much change in him now. She never thought that toddler with a stupid bob cut on his grey could one day possess masculinity. Strong, broad shoulder and a wide lapel balanced by a contoured waist and muscular well shaped back. His abs literally made her panty dampen, tan and perfect. His tattoo was peeking through the collar over his neck. A strong desire in her grows
Maze was dumbfounded by what she had seen the moment after crossing the entrance, while her wet body caused her to shiver in cold.She folded her frozen hand and rubbed her waxy finger against each other. She still hadn't been able to step out of the trance of shock,Who could be the lascivious woman who had so much power over him? What's even more surprising is that why Imogen didn't take any action to stop it?She doesn't want to think wrong, but the various thoughts that work in her head and are generated every moment forced her to deem something wasn't right at all."You're still wet," A soft caring voice flew to her ear dragging her ou
FLASHBACK"Non avresti dovuto farlo per me. Sapevi sempre che mi piace sis(You shouldn't have done this to me. You always knew I like him sis)," A beautiful teenage blond girl confessed clenching her teeth. Her flushed cheek displayed the amount of anger she was feeling right now.Her elder sister laughed, considering it some kind of silly jokes cracked upon her,"Sta 'zitto. Sai che non mi piace il tipo di battute immaturi (Shut up. You know I don't like such kind of immature jokes
Petal following Mrs. Mcmaster walked upstairs, intending to meet Maze, the new lady of Imogen who dared to take her place in his life. Maze was looking out, she hasn’t for once stepped out since she entered the guest room allotted to her. She was embarrassed and nervous to face Imogen, Orion, Veronica and Fergus as well. Most importantly she was scared of facing Imogen whom she turned down and refused to return back with him. Nothing from west wing was visible to the sight from the main section of the building, she wanted too bad to see Imogen, she even tried to sneak into his wing but couldn’t gather up her scrambled courage. A deep sigh escaped her mouth as for the umpteenth time she failed to find any trace of Imogen. As she took her eyes off the window, she turned back and met the unexpected entry in her room, she was startled and kind of alerted seeing both Petal and Mrs. Mcmaste
Veronica and Orion side by side, with suitable distance between them yet the brewing romance linger upon the newly formed couple, walked downstairs, not informed of the pair of eyes they already got on them. It was Orion who noticed it first and immediately he jolted apart, a sense of flush rose up to his cheek, but he managed to mask it well behind his as usual poker face. Veronica was confused by his reaction but soon she too flushed having unwanted attention. Imogen smiled enjoying pressurizing both the couple, he placed his elbow on the handrest of the couch on he was sprawled and propped his chin over his palm. Orion pretending serious with crease formed upon his wide forehead curtained by few streaks of hair. As Orion sat across the curved wooden chair, Imogen joked waving his brows, ”Appeared any time soon a marriage
Veronica was stressed since after the party was over, Orion haven’t talked to her yet nor did he mentioned anything regarding what happened there. After seeing him possessive over her, she thought every misunderstanding between them was over, but she was wrong. As his behavior stated that nothing has changed, he still wasn’t ready to sort things out between them. She biting her nails went to the kitchen intending to help the cook to prepare for dinner. There she found them quite busy, and from what they said she understood they were preparing the foods for some special guest of their young master that means Ryan. Veronica circled her lips in the shape of O and began to help them as much as she can. But they didn’t accept her help rather shoved her out as politely as possibly they could deny her. Being reluctance, she left the kitchen and walked ba
By the time Imogen returned home, the sun was already peeping evading the darkness disseminated all around. Imogen with sadness and anger towards his fate walked to his mansion. He understood that nothing lost comes back, like the breath of the body gets lost forever. He never expected Maze to forgive him, but surely hoped she wouldn't decline if he stretched his hand to her. With her rejecting him, he shattered into million pieces, he had no answer for all the questions she had asked. He has a burning heart like the ashes of a cigarette, waiting for the burnt figure to fall into the air. He without a single noise walked past the entrance and crossing the hall area, as he pushing the door open entered his study. He sprawled over the couch, sighing heavily letting the tingling sensation calm down a bi
Maze looked out through the window of the SUV, then looked back at Ryan who was strapping his seat belt occupying the driving seat. Maze exhaled heavily, she had to give up in front of Ryan. She dropped a message in both the contact of Fred and Jesha. She doesn't want them to worry, thinking about her like the last time. Before starting the engine, Ryan asked looking at her," Ready?! It's time to leave." Even though asked for her consent, but in reality, he was just informing her that it was the time, with no intention to ask for her conclusion. Maze acknowledged waving her head, as she too well knew that her acquiescence wasn't what he was seeking. With a wide grin, placing the key Ryan
Maze was already crying, the pain in her head shoot up as she tried to get up from the ground. She decided to consume another round of pills to get rid of the pain and sleep if possible. She poured herself a glass of water and as she was approaching the drawer to bring out the med box, her doorbell ringed declaring the possible company on her doorstep. Hissing in disappointment, she dropped the work she was doing and walked towards the door to see the person who dared to disturb her at the moment. As she opened the door, her eyes widened in astonishment, "You !!" ★......................★ Ryan left the party after his brother, he had various thoughts running in his mi
"What are you even talking about? Are you insane? You have a fiance and she's back here for you. You cheated me then how can you accept me to believe you again?" Maze yelled throwing water at his face. she was breathing hard, her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths. Her eyes burned red with anger.Imogen startled stayed there, didn't dodge to escape the splash of water from hitting his face. He closed his eyes as water droplets began to drip down his face. He covered his face with his hand, and wiped the water. He then shoved his wet hair back away from his face. Anger flared in him as well, but he chose to comply and swallow the bitter solution of his own wrath, and talk to her, as he owes her an explanation. He stared at her furious face, even the ugly touch of odium couldn't cease her charm, not even a single drop. Keeping his thoughts aside, he focused back on the discussion they were having, he grumpily said, "She's not my fiance. She's just my ex nothing
Maze returned home, exhausted by the work she had to manage almost the whole day without taking any break. Fred even tried to persuade her to catch a recess and have something. But she was adamant about not stopping until finishing all the work assigned to her. She wants to immerse herself in the work so much, that his thoughts don't get a chance to haunt her even in her nightmares. She lazily searched for the key beneath the flower plant by her doorstep. Using the key she unlocked her doors and stepped inside, turning back instantly locked the door behind her. From the moment she was inside her house, she threw her flat shoes, each in opposite direction. She then began to unbutton her dress exhaling deep sighs. Every muscle of her body was screaming in pain and lassitude. She shouldn't have tortured herself this much. She stretched her arm over her body, and instantly a sharp pain shoot up to her spinal cord, almost cramping her fibers. She cursed under her breathe,
The noise of popping champagne and clinking glasses filled the room. The festive mood was maintained in every part of the room, wide grins could be seen in every face some but hard to detect which one among them was a facade. Mr. Mcmaster left early as he needed to take a rest, besides after handing over all the responsibility on the hand of Imogen, he no longer had any wish to stay among the youngsters and welcome hangover having alcohols. Ryan was in a corner with a glass in his hand, watching crowds of people simpering. He didn't leave after his mother, as he intended to stay and be a part of the celebration. Inwardly he was really happy for his elder brother, but the situation made it tougher for him to openly be a part of the ceremony. He slowly took a sip from his glass while looking at his brother surrounded
