[ ᴜɴʀᴇǫᴜɪᴛᴇᴅ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ]"Let me go, Heath. You know it's wrong." I whispered, as he shifted himself closer towards me. "What's wrong with me hugging you?"I took a deep breath. "You just got cheated on by my sister who you were about to marry in some weeks! Not to mention, you loved her so much you fought against your whole family to marry her. Is that enough of a reason now?"With that being said, he left me abruptly and I could feel him still standing behind me. "You just have to mention that now, don't you? When I'm trying to cope up with the truth?""It's the truth. You really were getting married to-""Is that the reason you're leaving me?!"I frowned. "What?""I was going to marry Kiara. You didn't like it-""Why wouldn't I like it if you'd marry my sister?!" I yelled, my own temper rising at his random observation. "It's simple. You were jealous." ___Eight years working your butt off for someone you love, only to watch them fall in love with your own sister and propose a marriage by your help, is not something everyone have guts for, to do. Follow the journey of Heath Evercrest and Hazel Scarlett, as Hazel struggles to put up with her employer's sudden unexpected odd request, while her own heart threatens to betray her sooner or later, in her own quest.___Warning - Contains kisses and scenes that might make you blush.Copyright © StarryRitika 2020.

Half Hope, Half Love 14| Something In The Rain-Part VIII
The minute the words were out from my mouth, he removed his hand from my cheek. His green eyes darkened, black pearls of hues swiveling under them. Suddenly, he took my hands and pinned them above my head, pressing them harder against the wall. I bit my lips in pain, as he glided his long fingers along the length of my own, rather harder."What're you doing muhhh-" He pressed his hot lips against mine, opening his mouth, kissing them, nibbling them, licking them. His teeth rolled my lower lip and he sucked roughly on it.I felt alarmed by his sudden actions but couldn't deny that my body was reaction otherwise to his ministrations.My mind was in haze, his mouth moving like a lava on my lips, tasting them, gliding them, feasting on them.When I got the nick of the situation, I tried to struggle against him, pushing him away with my free legs but he put his one leg in between m

My eyebrows furrowed. "What're you saying? I told you I have nothing to say to you!""I can't let you walk around the street in these clothes. You have to come with me."I looked at him as if he had gone insane. "I'm not going anywhere with you!""I'm not asking for your permission." He said, as he grabbed my arms and started to drag me with him, towards his car."What the hell is wrong with you?! I can take care of myself! You don't fucking need to look out-" I kicked on his knees. He staggered a bit and his grip on me loosened. I took it as a chance to run but he took hold of me from behind, lifting me up and wrapping his arms around me tightly."Don't touch me! Leave me alone! I don't want to stay one more minute with you!" I kicked him from behind, missing it altogether but when I kicked him again, I heard him wince in pain."What's fuck

He didn't say anything for a while. Just continued to walk side by side with me. And I decided not to break this silence. I didn't even know why he came after me."You still didn't tell me your reasons.""I was going to. But I chose not to.""Why?""If you're worried about your new PA, I have kept the loads of profiles of experienced professional PAs who have trained in better environment for this service, with Mrs Rothy. You can have those profiles from her anytime you want and read them thoroughly to decide who you want to be your next P-""I asked you a question, Scarlett." He demanded.I ignored him and continued with my advise. "And you know a very interesting thing. They can fight too. I mean they can use their fists. I used to be very sorry when you'd require to hire the bodyguard for your safety-""You're not answering

His eyes furrowed. "What?""I'm quitting." When he eyed me with confusion, I decided to elaborate. "I'm leaving this job, if that makes you understand the meaning of this letter.""Oh, so you've decided to put me back in place by emotional blackmail now? I didn't know you'd stoop that low to achieve your goals, Scarlett.""I'm not stooping anywhere, Mr Evercrest. I had been meaning to give that letter to you for a long time-""How long?""I don't know. Maybe three years. Maybe four. I just don't remember anymore. All I knew was I don't want to do this job anymore. I've always wanted to do something that I'd love to do. Something that would make me happy. But I saw I couldn't do it if I continued working 16 hours a day.""You can still do what you want while working for me.""Says the one who threatened me just some minutes ago." I saw gui

"You really don't realize what influence I have on you? Or on your future, right?" He asked, glaring at me, his voice laced with controlled rage while he took one step towards me.I took one step back, glaring back at him. "You think I care about my future after I had been living like a servant for a person like you for eight years?!""You talk about respecting the person in heirarchy and power and yet you don't respect your own boss?!" He said, taking another step towards me and for a second, I flinched seeing his eyes darkening with burning rage but I continued on anyway, taking two steps back from him."You don't need to be respected to feel as a boss, Heath." I said, eyeing him warily as his gaze flickered down my face, to my half-exposed heaving chest, lingering there for longer than I expected. His tempting gaze then shifted to my bare thighs and legs, leaving a trail of tingle down my burning core, mak

"What're you-" I started but was cut off when he started to drag me with him."It's enough. Let's go now." He replied, taking me with him.I looked at him in confusion. "But-""Shut up and just come with me, will you!?" He suddenly barked at me and I felt the anger rising in his voice.Nevertheless, I put my hand over his hand clutching my wrist and tried to release myself from his grasp. But his fingers didn't budge one inch from his grip. I sighed loudly and tried again but due to the rain, my fingers were slipping over his knuckles while he continued to drag me with him."Let go of my hand, Heath! You've been treating me so roughly this whole night, do you even know that?!"He stopped in the middle and turned towards me. "Why do you think I've been doing this in the first place?!"I opened my mouth to speak but

"Heath." She called his name and I could hear it faintly soft from where I was standing. Immediately, I increased my pace, my feet landing on the puddle of mud in haste, before I stood beside Heath, eyeing Kiara."Heath." She called him again and I tilted my head to see Heath looking at anywhere but her.Kiara took one step towards him and he took one step away from her, hitting my shoulder in the process, to now stand in front of me, his back facing me."I..." Kiara started to say something but stopped when she saw him glaring at her."I don't have anything to say to you." He said, before striding past her in haste, bumping her shoulder harshly in the process. I could see him walking, more like running in the street, as the rain above us once again started to increase in intensity.Kiara didn't turn around to see him walking away. She didn't look br

One and a half year later...The laughter died down my throat the moment I saw them around the dark alley, pressed tightly against each other.Aghast, I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to look at him in anxiousness as the heavy thunder mixed with the low roaring of unshed clouds reverberated in the background like the ringing storm of destruction ready to swallow everything coming in between.He was standing still in his place, smile long gone from his handsome features. Instead, his face contorted into the unsual look of disgust, streaks of moisture dripping from his forehead down the chin.He looked angry, hopeless, lost, deserted, betrayed and appalled, looking at them kissing the life out of each other."Heath" I called out his name, my heart beating rapidly in my ribcage.He gave me a side glance, raising his left

Placing the cleaned cup inside the cupboard, I took his own empty cup from his hands and washed it down the running water. "Leave them on the sink. Maid will take care of it." He said."I'm already done with it." Wiping my wet hands in the kitchen towel, I took my place, leaning on the dining table beside him.Soft blow of semi-wet breeze from the corner of the slightly open window reminded me I was still in my wet clothes and I shivered in cold, wrapping my hands around my shoulders to keep me warm.I heard Heath shuffle beside me before he placed soft dry towel on my still wet hair, applied pressure over the cloth and started to dry my hair."I can do it mys-" I tried to take the towel from his hands but he used his height to his advantage."Keep still." He said, his voice hinting authority and I pressed my lips in thin line, nodding meekly.
