After allowing Maze some moment to adjust, Imogen walked back into the room, and moved out crossing the door. Within a minute he came back with a tray in his hand. He put the tray on the side table and then turned to face Maze.
Her tear-stained face, swollen eyes, quivering lips stung his heart. Maze sniffles her nose with her eyes fixed on the ground. Her befuddled hair messed up on her face.

Maze carefully wrapped a chiffon scarf around her neck to hide the purple mark on her neck.It was safe to say that it didn't feel so hot today. The cold spring wind was blowing around her.In keeping with this, nature has reshaped all around.Maze was already a bit upset not to see him this morning. Something seemed to be missing.Imogen has become a bad habit that neither Maze can let go of nor she can keep.As she reached near the entrance of the hall area a spectacular view caught her attention. She took a step forward and looked at the garden through the transparent glass wall.Making nature its own canvas, spring has started pouring all its colors on it. All the colors seemed more colorful with the touch of spring. It was as if nature was wearing new glittering royal attire.Putting all the thoughts aside Maze looked
◒ Maze ◒After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms except me. I stayed intending to help in cleaning up.Though they didn't want to let me assist them, but I insisted and they had to accept defeat in front of my strong will.As soon as I finished my work and washed my hands, and sat on the couch, someone coughed voluntarily to drag my attention.I flinched and turned my neck to see the person. I got up from my seat and slightly bowed my head before aunty, "Do you need anything?"Mrs. Mcmaster smiled at me, "You don't have to bow before me."I smiled awkwardly not knowing how to respond.She smiled and occupied the seat across me and motioned for me to sit in my previous place."I had something to talk to you about," Aunty said lowering her gaze. From her appearance, I could feel she was ashamed about the topic she was about to discuss.I subtly creased my forehead barely visible to anyone, and patiently wa
◒ Maze ◒ "What is the equation of our relationship?" I asked with confusion ringing to my tone. Ecstasy started to rush through my veins. I want to solve the mysterious dense cloud of emotion that grew between us.Is he being so impatient like me?Is his heart beating as loud as mine?Or have I floated alone in the open estuary?I again murmured rolling my dry throat, trying to suppress the fire burning in me, "Are we consciously committing any sin? What if we have to atone for it later? "Imogen took my face in between his palms and his forehead rested
◔ Maze ◔I blinked a few times to wimp out the drowsiness from my eyes. His strong cologne infiltrated my nose, the moment I inhaled a deep satisfying breath...I snuggle into my comfort and tried to wriggle out. But I couldn't set myself free as his strong arms kept me still in my place...on his chest.I raised my neck high, his warm breath tingled my skin.His sleeping face amused me...How can someone look so fascinated while sleeping? No trace of vanity and agitation was evident on his face. Who can say that this innocent looking man can take someone's breath away just by his mere cold intimidating glance?All of a sudden the enthralling moment we passed last night flashed before me.I crouched my neck and took shelter under his prominent chin. I can feel his authoritative hold around me when I tried to move again."Don't move," A strong voice erupte
"Signora, ecco i documenti che ha ordinato( Madam here's the documents you have ordered for.)"The detective hired by Mrs. Mcmaster placed the bundle of the documents on the table. She hurried and tore the envelopes and started looking at them carefully.Her brows knitted in a deep frown as she began checking the documents.She couldn't believe her eyes the person blackmailing her turned to be her pawn... A silly pawn of past which she was only giving importance to retain some amour being suppressed.But today her own toy has taken a terrible form and tried to bite her.She sne
By the time Mrs. Mcmaster returned home, it was already midnight. The dense black darkness of the night covered the earth with an absolute embrace.Standing at the entrance, with a fake smile plastered on her face, she crossed the main gate.There was no speck of brutality evident on her face anymore. She casually forded the distance from the hall room to the stairs. But as she was about to climb the stairs, some kind of noise reached her ears.Following the trails of the noise, she walked towards it and stopped at the edge of the room, Ryan was there blabbering...From his way of speaking, it can clearly be said that he drank again, and obviously, it was more than he can bear.
Ryan seemed kind of different today, his bright coruscating eyes were trying to state something... He has accumulated a lot in his mind today that he was anxious to tell her.The whirlwind of emotion in him, combined with his voice manifested him unusual to Maze.The soft wind played on her brown curls promoting the disobedient strands of hair to fall on her face.With a quick hand, Maze brushed her hair behind her ears and then looked at him with slightly annoyed eyes."Oho ho ho...Hold on there...I'm scared now...Why are you articulating so serious? What are you even going to ask?" M
Time has stopped the moment their eyes met.He never took his eyes off of her, not even for a split of a second. He was enchanted by her beauty.Her heart skipped its beats when the calming pair of pure blue orbs manifesting the strong intimidating stare.Maze stood there frozen under his deep fascinated look. His every aspect screamed expressing his enchantment. The breeze reached her hair, and she looked up to find him still staring.Maze lowered her gaze, her face flushed red as Imogen trailed his shameless gaze over her body. He slowly scrutinized her body relishing every bit of her heavenly beauty. Impossible colors swirled in his head, blurring his senses.
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
