Brushing the hair for one last time Jane let it fall on both sides of her shoulders. Taking down the hairbrush on the dressing table she looked at her image in the mirror." Coming ". She bolted towards the door hearing the bell. "Wow, girl! Are you sure you are not the one performing.?" Isabella teased her while entering inside. " Shut up. Look at you too."Jane rolled her eyes. Both of them ended up laughing together. After that eventful day, Jane hardly left her room last week. She even missed her classes for the first two days. Today she had to go to Liam's school for their cultural program. Aria and Liam both were over the moon about theirperformance. She couldn't turn them down seeing their enthusiasm. Jane asked Isabella for once and she was more than ready to join them. It turned out she was in the same school and didn't want to miss the chance to relive their happening cultural fest."Let's go. Everyone's waiting." Both of them took the elevator to come to the ground flo
" Are you guys sure that you don't wanna go home now?" Jane again asked her friends, hoping that they would change their minds. " Yes, I am. And you are coming with us too." Isabella rolled her eyes. Jane looked at Ryan but he nodded his head, silently agreeing with his cousin." Bella is right. We three didn't hang out together for a long time. Please, Jane. Come with us. It will be my treat." Ryan tried to convince her with puppy eyes. " Now you should come with us. Ryan is a close-fisted guy. If he is giving treats by himself, it's no less than a miracle." Isabella teased him." You brat! Now I won't take you with us." Ryan pretended to be offended." No.. please please, I am sorry…" Isabella tried to sound genuine.Jane laughed silently seeing their antics. She had exactly the same relationship with Leo even if they weren't blood related. They had grown up together and knew each other forever. " Okay okay, I will go." Jane interfered in the middle." Really?" Both of the
" Don't even think about it," Adrian spoke out, in a stone hard and chilly voice. Much to her displeasure he was still standing too close for her liking, invading her personal space. " Urghh!" Suddenly Adrian slammed his head on the nearby glass window frame, letting out a loud throaty sound. It was a surprise the frame didn't shatter with the force. Jane pressed both of her palms tightly on the ears, her eyes were shut. She refused to witness his madness anymore. She was perplexed.She was going through a brainstorming session in her mind to get out of this situation, unharmed. But received nothing except grave disappointment.Opening her eyes slightly she tried to understand the situation. But to her dismay, he was still rooted in his place. Blood came out of his forehead wetting his lashes, dribbling to his cheeks but his eyes were still boring a hole in her face with his gaze.She couldn't handle the intensity of the situation. Curving to the side she bolted for the door. But
As soon as the car stopped near her apartment Jane darted out of the car and started running towards the gate. Her only goal was to get into her room at any cost and hide from the psycho who was making her life a living hell. Getting into the lift she took a sigh of relief. She was safe at least for today. Suddenly her throat felt heavy as she remembered what happened in the evening. The disgust, anger, and helplessness were making her restless. She wished someone was there to help her in this situation. Hugging her backpack tightly she came out of the lift and went towards her room. But her steps halted as soon as she discovered the person standing near her apartment. Not again! How did he even reach here before her? She didn't have the energy to deal with him anymore. Rubbing her temple with her fingers she stood in front of him." Move". She said as calmly as possible. Adrian smirked looking at her. " Did you really think you could outrun me with those little legs of yours?" H
" Is there some special occasion, Jane?" Isabella asked her friend with curiosity. " To be honest I don't know. But trust me Aunt Mary makes amazing food. You two will love it." Jane gave her friends a cheeky smile. She was surprised when her aunt suddenly called after class and told her to bring her friends for dinner. 'What must be the special occasion?' She wondered. But whatever the reason was, she was more than happy to take them home." Yes! I can't wait either." Ryan sounded over enthusiastic." Let's go then." Three of them took a cab and went towards their destination.………… " Auntie, look who is here." Jane entered the room with a broad smile as soon as Mary opened the door. But it vanished looking at the figures sitting in the living room." Mom! Dad!" She whispered almost not believing her eyes.Her parents gave a slight warm smile listening to her surprised tone." We haven't seen you for a long time. Your mom was missing you. So we just decided to pay a visit ." Her
" You? How did you come inside?" Jane looked to her left side to find the door was locked, now." Come on! Don't act like you didn't keep it open for me to come?" Adrian murmured with his head still buried in the crook of her neck.Did she forget to lock the door again? Shit! Jane cursed herself in her mind. Why couldn't she be a little bit more responsible? Always asking for trouble by herself. Her already disturbed mind felt even more bitter now.Taking a deep breath she started speaking," Listen! My parents are here. I don't want any trouble. Please go from here." Jane said as calmly as possible." Like you haven't already brought trouble with you?" Adrian chuckled, standing in the same position, pulling her more into him. One of his hands started rising upwards, brushing her hair with his fingers playfully." What did you just say?" Jane's voice sounded tough this time. Adrian who was lost in the world, enjoying every moment till then, came to his senses. He frowned, not liki
The setting sun cast a warm golden hue across the city as Isabella and Jane sat in her apartment, preparing for the much-anticipated Johnson's party. Isabella's eyes gleamed with excitement, and her heart filled with the anticipation of a glamorous evening. Jane, however, sat on the edge of the bed, her face clouded with mixed emotions, remembering the hurt Adrian had caused her just the other day.She couldn't believe what her life had become! Why did she come here and what was she doing? Being a mere plaything for an obnoxious bastard! "Jane." Hearing Isabella's voice she had to reign in her mind. " Oho! Get ready first. I ditched Ryan and my uncle just because I wanted to go with you. I am damn excited to be at that party. I have heard so much about Johnson's party but I never got a chance to go there. I only heard stories from Ryan. Can't believe I didn't even know them a few months ago. But now it feels like I have known them for years." Excitement was dripping from her voi
Adrian started walking in her direction but halted after hearing a voice from behind." Mr.Adrian Alan Johnson! I feel you are in need of some company. Want me to join you?" The woman said in a lush smooth voice.Without even turning around, Adrian knew who it was! Suddenly his mood went bitter. Frowning, he turned to face the woman standing in front of him, clad in a shimmering silver gown. " What do you want, Kiara?" Adrian asked straight forward, without bushing around." Oho! Looks like Mr.Johnson isn't in a very good mood at his own party hmm?" She took a step in his direction, already invading his personal space. Her smokey eyes with hidden meaning were looking at him straightly.Adrian couldn't help but feel irritated by Kiara, the girl seemed determined to get closer to him despite his disinterest.Kiara, even after knowing everything, constantly found excuses to strike up conversations with him. 'Seems like she has already digested the last insult.' Adrian thought, frust
