Heartstrings Chapter-28
A groan left her mouth as she turned to her right. A striking ray of the sun blocked her view as an immense wave of pain managed to break through her head. The hangover felt like a balloon under her cranium, slowly being inflated, pressure mounting. She wrapped himself in the duvet, waves of nausea adding to her misery. After struggling for a few minutes, she pushed herself into a sitting position and her eyes diverted to her right side. The sheets on that side looked unmade and the pillow had creases. She tensed. Did they share the bed last night? What happened? Why was she feeling nauseatingly sick like she was drunk or something? Shaking her head she stood up, the world around her twirling like a ballerina and she supported herself. Grace was more aware of her cracking headache than the layer of dehydrated saliva that coated her cracked lips. Once on her feet, the room swayed almost causing her to lose balance and he reached out for the wall. Her hand slipped along the high-sheen
Heartstrings Chapter-29
“We’ll be there soon-“ Just like an angel descended from paradise. It was the red of wedding carnations, a pop of colour in his grey world which resembles passion and the dynamic form of his infatuation. He couldn’t –even though he was aware of it–he just couldn’t keep his eyes away from her. Her small petal-like lips tempted him to have a taste and wonder if they tasted the same as last night, her creamy butter-like smooth legs seducing him to run his fingers up to the cleft between her thighs and examine what was the colour of her underwear. She shied away from his intense gaze, and he fell in love all over again. The first time he saw her, she looked like a virgin getting sacrificed in red, but now, she looked like the temptress of heaven, the seductress who was slowly sucking the life out of him. “You can leave.” He said without moving his eyes from her, his eyes taking over her bare slender neck, looking for the mark he left last night but found none, probably it was covered wi

Grace looked around in awe. The grand party looked nothing like she had imagined. In her imagination it was supposed to be dark, filled with guns and drugs, but if anything, the lobby was not fully stuffed but people wearing mysterious auras and dangerous facades surrounded the area. The moment she stepped inside, she felt like an outcast. Never had she ever attended such a luxurious event. Women looked as stunning as models she admired on television and men seemed dripping with money and expensive suits. Arden’s arm around her waist visibly tightened the moment they stepped inside, a sudden chilling shift in the aura, where Grace’s curious eyes looked around, every other glance studying her seductive dress. It provoked Arden to realise that every male was gawking at her with open mouths and drool dripping down their lips as hungry dogs and women eyed her with either awe or jealousy. Grace was not the most beautiful woman here, but her innocence added moons to her beauty. The eyeshad

“The world indeed is a small place. I’m glad I attended this party.”“W-what are you doing here?”“Be glad it was me attending this event and not Azrael.”“Why are you so surprised? Afraid I might call your dear fiancée here?” The shock now turned into ice-cold hatred as she seethed with all the despise she felt for that man.“Your friend has already ruined my life, what makes you think your threats will terrorise me?” Her voice came out strong, a vile combination of hidden fear and courage. Though the tremble of her fingers hindered her, she kept her head high.Leon scoffed at her words as he stepped towards her, his hands in his pockets as she tried not to back away. She could see the tracing of a gun in his holster, and the handle of the knife sticking between his belt and pocket. She knew somehow it would be difficult to escape this situation, but how could she when he was standing between her and the door?“You don’t know what hell feels like, Grace. You’ve never been to one. Azr

“What’s your name, Bella?” Grace gulped, looking around with feared eyes as she watched people around them not paying attention to their way. Her sweaty hands clenched into fists as she nervously glanced at the man in front of her. He didn’t look much older. His platinum shoulder-length blonde hair stood distinct, as he had tucked them into a ponytail, she was mesmerised by the way he stood tall and confident wearing a white fitted tailcoat and matching slacks with a beige shirt underneath.If it wasn’t for the creepy smile he threw her way, she would’ve loved to admire his beauty.“G-Grace,” she mumbled quietly, her eyes moving around to recognise a familiar face so that she could escape this vile man.The man chuckled, stepping forward only for her to step back in panic.“Your surname?” He asked, leaning to her face. The music around them blew in speakers as people cheered and danced the night away.Grace contemplated, Maverick had already warned her about people present here. They

Grace flinched as his cold fingers ran down her neck, a pissed expression on his handsome features. His jaw clenched tight and eyes flared with something unknown that she didn’t want to mistake as anger.“Who did this?” Bloodlust ran in his veins, darkness taking over his human side. She didn’t answer him instead eyes widened with raw panic before she immediately placed her hand on her neck, hiding the raging bluish-purple marks on her neck. She should be careful.Anger was just a word, Maverick was seething with rage. Did Arden happen to be that man who left his marks on her? On some other man tried to touch her? Many thoughts rang in his irrational head and every one of them made him more furious.Grace averted her gaze, not looking at him and Maverick knew she was hiding something. Grabbing her back the wrist, he dragged her to the lot where his car was parked. Grace knew she was done. She tripped behind him as he pulled her with him, making her match his long strides. Grace gasped
Heartstrings Chapter-34
“I was promised to Azrael, without knowing my father had arranged my marriage with the brother of my sister’s fiancée.” She didn’t knew how long she sat there, on his lap as he cradled her closer to his chest. His warmth soothing her anxious nerves making her forget for a moment what happened a while ago. The only thing that mattered was the solace he was providing her. A quiet rapping of their breathing clasping around them as dim lights in the room filled space with little illumining illusion. A hum of awareness fluttered through her as she felt Maverick’s hands rubbing her back. And strangely, there was nothing sexual about his touch, if anything, it was consoling. Maverick looked down at woman on his lap, her eyes solely on his chest, curling on his lap. There was condolence in the purity of her own innocence. Maverick waited for to say something, and after a deep terrifying silence, she said. “I would have married him, thinking it as an arranged marriage between two familiars
Heartstrings Chapter-35
One heart. One life. And he was ready to sacrifice both for her only to see her smile. Strange how she was becoming his love, his affections, his senseless talks, his emotions. She was immersed in him, and there was nothing in him that belonged to him anymore. Maverick was a goner. Sucker for her. Every victory and defeat ended with her. He could see her in every phrase of the word in the documents he read for hours, in every ray of sun. He scoffed. How poetic for a man who did not believe in all this bullshit. Maverick took another puff of his cigar as he looked at the sky. The moonlight was not so captive before as it was tonight. And then he looked over his shoulder at her sleeping frame. It was as though the moon himself was stealing glances from her. And then little scene from a movie, the slow breeze hummed in his ears as if it carried her essence. What sort of intoxication was that? And then he realised. He had lost so much of himself in her that it was now too late for regret
