" 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
Jane's heart pounded in her chest as the music abruptly came to a halt, and she felt Adrian's grip release her. Relief washed over her like a tidal wave, freeing her from the suffocating hold he had on her. Her breath caught as Adrian leaned in close, his voice a mere whisper meant solely for her ears."Don't forget about our date my love", he murmured, his words carrying a hint of possessiveness and warning.Jane's eyes widened as she felt her mind racing. She knew she had to keep up appearances, to mask the torment he had put her through. Glancing around the room, her gaze met Isabella's eyes who was looking at them with dreamy eyes. Her auntie and uncle were puzzled but their expressions were telling of their pride in her. Liam looked happy to find his sissy for the first time in the evening. While Ryan looked at her with furrowed brows as if trying to understand the situation.They were all watching her, waiting for an explanation she wasn't yet ready to give.Gathering every
The remnants of their uneasy dinner lingered in the air as Adrian and Jane sat in silence, a fragile truce forged between them. Just as Adrian began to revel in the delusion of a newfound understanding, the discordant melody of a message notification pierced the silence, causing Jane's heart to skip a beat.She reached for her phone, her fingers trembling as she glanced at the screen. The name that appeared, Ryan, sent a jolt of both nervousness and anxiety coursing through her veins. A message glowed on the screen." Are you on the way?" Jane gulped remembering she needed to attend his birthday party. That's what he told her aunt before leaving.Adrian's curiosity piqued when he saw her deeply invested in her phone. "Who is it ?" he asked, his tone laced with a mix of suspicion and desire for control.Jane's throat tightened, her mind racing to find a plausible explanation. She gulped nervously, her voice strained, "It's from home. I need to go immediately."The words left her mo
"Wh…. Where are we going? Where are you taking me?"She shouted for her life. Without saying a word, Adi only increased the speed of the car as an answer. The car halted near a skyscraper and she was forcefully pulled inside the building. Within a moment she found herself in the lift and in no time she entered into an apartment. The atmosphere grew heavy with unspoken tension. Paro stood there, her drenched silhouette a stark contrast against the dimly lit room. She tried to collect herself, to find the strength to act, her mind racing with possibilities.The rain continued to beat against the windows, its incessant rhythm mimicking the turmoil within Adi's heart. Paro's entire being trembling with fear. She stepped back as Adi's rage consumed him.As Adi turned away momentarily, she seized the opportunity, her body moving with an urgency she had never known.But within seconds she was pulled back to his chest with full force. She found herself in this unwanted situation numerous ti
Girl, what are you even doing in the early morning? Did you forget we don't have clas…." Isabella who was speaking in her sleepy voice suddenly stopped hearing her friend's next word. " Ish.. Isabella , can you please come once?" Jane asked in her trembling helpless voice. The sleep was gone from Isabella 's eyes. She sat up straight on the bed. " Hello Jane.. are you okay? What happened? Where are you!" Isabella asked in one breath." I.. I don't know." Jane said, still sobbing." Okay, okay relax. Share your location with me. I am coming. Okay? Stay where you are." Isabella already ran towards the door while speaking to her. It was a bright morning, the sun was spreading its golden rays upon the busy streets of the city as if the rain didn't wash out the whole city a few hours ago. Isabella walked hurriedly along the sidewalk, her mind occupied with her friend's thoughts. As she turned a corner, her eyes met a sight that instantly froze her in her tracks. There stood Ja
