Cladded in a beautiful and plain orange coloured midi dress which was reaching her till her knees, Ezrene got ready for her college. The dress had beautiful puff sleeves and a square neck which made it look cutter.
Ezrene smiled at her own reflection in the mirror and then applied her last product of makeup which was a rosy pink lip stain. Yes, she loved using makeup as it made her feel confident, so she thought about doing a light natural makeup for her college today, especially after she wore such a cute dress.
After getting done with her makeup and hair, she clutched her watch and was about to wear it but it immediately faded her smile as this watch made her recall about that certain someone which caused a scowl to form on her face. What did he think of himself? That he owned her? That he could play with her the way he pleased?
Ezrene still regretted that day when she met him for the very first time and dared to approach him to be her husband. Indeed, she had lost her mind that day and now, the mistake she had made in her childhood was making her pay in her adulthood so dreadfully.
Sighing, she wore that watch because she really wanted to wear it and she didn't have the courage to endure the consequences he might bring to her after finding out she had not worn this watch just because he had repaired it for her after breaking it.
After that, she matched her outfit with plain white shoes and then grabbed her college to dash out of her room.
“Okay, mamma. I am leaving for college, bye,” Ezrene pecked her mother's forehead who was smiling at her.
“I will get back home as soon as my classes end and then we will do some beauty treatment before leaving to meet you friend as we need to look best tonight,” Ezrene said to her mother, trying to lift up her mood more. Her mother beamed at her and then nodded at her.
“Be careful. Bye,” her mother caressed her head and pecked her cheek.
“Love you more, mamma,” She waved at her mother and then ran out of her house while her mother's light beryl eyes continued to stare at her disappearing which faded her smile completely because Seana didn't know what was going to happen tonight when her daughter would be in front of Ziven Elayzer and because of that fear, Seana had not even tell her his name yet.
“Yeah…I am outside the college,” Ezrene uttered to Cressa on a call while stepping down from the bus which had halted outside her college's back gate.
“Yes, I will be there in a few minutes,” she said and hung up the call. Ezrene was walking towards her college's back gate while shoving her phone inside her midi when suddenly her ear caught those noises.
“Oh…no. He will kill them today….”
“Yes, he is looking in a terrible mood…”
Those noises made Ezrene take her head in that direction and she saw a small crowd of students had gathered outside that alley which was located right beside their college. Confused and curious, she walked towards the crowd and entered inside it but her eyes widened in horror the second she witnessed why that crowd of students had gathered there.
It was him who was fighting with four men who looked like some kind of goons. Those men looked extremely dangerous but he was fighting with them like there was no tomorrow. Blood was splashing out of their mouths as he was violently punching and hitting them.
He was looking furious and extremely maliciously and this side of his terrified her the most that he was extremely violent and he had no control over his anger. His anger turned him blind and this was not the first time, she was witnessing him hurting others so cruelly but today, he was looking outraged and feral the way he was hitting those men.
Ezrene's eyes landed on his best friend, Corbin, who was standing closer to her and was witnessing that fight with a grave look on his face. Ezrene stormed towards him.
“Stop him, Corbin. He will kill them,” Ezrene said to Corbin, terrified because the way he was hitting those men, she knew it would not be long before he would end up ending their lives which was not acceptable to Ezrene.
“We both know I can't do it, especially when he is looking so fucked up,” Corbin uttered, seeing Asael beating those men inhumanly who tried to mess with him when he was entering inside the college today with an already dreadfully pissed mood.
Corbin trailed his eyes to look at Ezrene.
“And we also know about that only person who can stop him, Ezrene,” his words shuddered her being because she knew he was talking about her. His entire friend circle had that myth that the only person who could control him was her but it was totally a lie because it was him who behaved like he possessed her in every possible way, like she was his belonging.
Ezrene turned her head to look at him and her heartbeat dropped, seeing him already knocking out three among those men and now he was strangling the last one which brimmed tears in her eyes in fear and worry.
Clenching his jaw, he was about to end that fucker's life in his hand as his head had already been in an extremely fucked up state since last night. His sanity had long lost him after whatever his father had told him last night and now he was just finding a way to rent out his rage on someone or something and these fuckers turned out to be those someone as they tried to fuck with him this morning for no reason.
Asael was strangling that man to his death but suddenly his nefarious gaze shifted towards that specific person in the crowd around him. His bloodshed blue eyes met with her glossy green ones where he found her slowly shaking her head in denial which made him grit his teeth.
He finally let go of that man's neck as he understood she wanted him to do it and then he threw that man on the ground aggressively. After that, he strode towards her direction all the while looking into her glossy hues and then grabbed her wrist.
Without uttering a single word to her, he started dragging her away from there in front of the whole crowd because he feared no one and nothing, especially when it came to marking his territory which was her.
Ezrene witnessed him dragging her inside that old and dark library where he always took her and as soon as he hauled her inside, she found him slamming her against one of the book shelves, causing her hiss but her blood ran cold the second she witnessed him started opening the upper buttons of his shirt while coming towards her in his predacious steps.
Her tears turned more vigorous because right now he was looking lethal and she knew, in his anger, he could go to any extent of insanity and madness.
Swipe up for the next chapter.......
Tears started rolling down from her eyes in pure terror as she watched him coming closer to her. His furiously blazing gaze remained intact with her until he finally reached her and stood dangerously closer to her. Ezrene flinched in fear as he removed all the distance between their bodies but what she witnessed him doing appalled her. Ezrene found him wrapping his burly arms around her back as he pulled her in his arms and then he snuggled his face in the crook of her neck and breathed out heavily, like he was trying to calm himself in her essence which stunned Ezrene because the thing she was not aware that she and her presence were the only things which could bring him back his lost serenity. She was his only peace. Her essence held the power of calming his insanity down which no one and nothing could do.Ezrene gulped, feeling him hugging her so tightly like he was trying to hide himself in her. It made her aware that something had happened in his life because she could clearly fe
With his clenched jaw, Asael was buttoning his black shirt when he heard a knock on his door. Turning around, he saw a house staff bowing in front of him.“Sir, Mr Elayzer is calling you downstairs. His guests have arrived,” the house staff's words made him aggressively dig his nails against his palms but without saying anything, he just sent a curt nod to the house staff, making her leave from there after bowing at him.Turning around, he gritted his teeth and then grabbed his coat from the bed. Rage was burning inside him. He was fucking against this bullshit of his father getting married again and he had his reasons for it. He didn't want to be the part of this drama and had no intention of meeting his father's girlfriend and his new family in any way but he knew he could not defy his father, so after getting dressed up well, just like his father had told him to, he went out of his room.Asael was stepping downstairs while buttoning his coat when he felt that familiar presence whic
“You will stop this fucking wedding. Did you fucking get it, Ezrene?” he roared at her, making her flinch terribly. Tears stung her eyes, feeling his hand which was wrapped around her neck in a not painful but terrifying grip.Asael saw that fear shimmering in her beryl eyes which started falling down, wetting her flushed cheeks. It made him clench his jaw more vigorously but he let go of her neck and then placed them on both sides of her head on that door behind her.“You will never let this wedding to happen,” he uttered to her while peering into glossy eyes threateningly which made her take her gaze down. Ezrene swallowed and buried herself behind that door as much as she could in order to avoid any kind of their bodies contact because he was standing dangerously closer to her and now when she knew how wrong their closeness was, she could not dare to let him get this nearer to her. It had now become forbidden.Asael noticed how she was trying to create distance between their bodies
“You are mine, Bella. Just fucking mine,” hearing those words coming out of his mouth while feeling his mouth vigorously devouring hers, Ezrene's tears turned aggressive. She had never expected her first kiss to be like this. Pressing her palms against his chest, she tried to push him away from her because she knew this was wrong. This was utterly immoral but nothing made him stop in doing his irrational deed with her. He had lost each and every ounce of patience the second he heard it from her mouth that she was not finding any reason to stop this so-called wedding of their parents. It enraged him because they both knew what he felt for her and what his intentions were for her but she was still trying to be ignorant towards it and that fucked him up terribly and pushed him that irrational edge of telling her that why they should be opposing this marriage in his own language. Ezrene continued to struggle and protest in order to stop him and this made him kiss her harder and harder.
Asael stepped downstairs where he found her sitting with their parents on the dining table. She was trying to act normal in front of them but he could still clearly see that pain and gloominess she was trying to hide behind her forced smile. This made him clutch that trailing vigorously. He had never expected that their first kiss was going to be like this. That it was going to hurt her so much. He had always wanted to make their first kiss the most memorable and alluring moment of both of their lives but it turned out to to unforgettably painful just because of their parents and their fucking relationship.While talking to Seana, Ziven turned his head and saw his son, Asael, standing on the stairs. His eyes were fixed at Ezrene whose head was lowered.“Join us for the dinner, Asael,” he uttered, not as a request but as a command which made Asael clench his palm but without saying anything back, he stepped down from the stairs and walked towards the dining table.Ezrene tensed up, fee
“Where are you, Rene? Our class will start in a few more,” Ezrene heard Cressa asking her on the call which made her sigh.“I am outside our college premises. There was traffic on my way here,” she answered Cressa while stepping inside her college’s main gate and went towards her classroom.“Okay, come fast….” She heard Cressa telling her but this made Ezrene ask her that thing which had been roaming inside her head since the moment Cressa had called her.“Cressa, did Asael come to the class today?” She asked her, a bit hesitant because she was restless to know whether he had come to the college today or not because she was terrified to face him today, especially after last night.“Yes, he has already come and he is behaving a bit weirdly today,” Cressa answered her and her answer befuddling Ezrene.“Weird?”“Yeah….I mean from the second he has come to the classroom today, he has been sitting on his place completely silent, unlike any other day where he used to trouble other students w
“Don't wet the wound, Mr Elayzer and be extremely cautious with it,” the doctor said to him after dressing up his wound and giving him the needed treatment. Ezrene continued to stand beside him all this time where his treatment was going on.“It's very deep and any kind of leniency towards it can make it get infected easily, so be careful,” the doctor said to him and then gave him some medicines.“These are some painkillers and antibiotics. Take them too in order to make sure your wound would heal faster,” the doctor uttered, extending the medicines towards him but he made no efforts to take them from him which bewildered the doctor until Ezrene took the medicines from the doctor.“Thank you, doctor,” she thanked the doctor before he would end up turning things more awkward here with his complete and utter silence.The doctor nodded at her and said.“Take care of your friend,” Asael wagged her head at him and then looked at him where he found his eyes already on her as usual. She sent
‘I even kissed him back today because I just couldn't keep myself away from him, especially seeing him hurting himself because of me so badly. I cannot see him hurt but I also don't want to hurt my mamma and I don't know what to do about it. I am stuck in between this painful dilemma of choosing between our and our parents’ happiness. I don't know what to choose and what to let go…..’ embedding those words in her secret keeper, Ezrene sighed and then capped the pen.After that, she closed her diary and stood up on her feet from her study table and walked towards the mirror to check her attire. She chose to wear a black leather skirt which was reaching above her knees and paired it with a lilac off-shoulder top for their dinner. Tying her hair up in a loose bun, she applied her rosy lip tint and then sighed heavily. He was coming here to her home for the very first time in their life, especially with his father. She had never expected a day like this would ever come where he would be c
“He is Cynthia's biological father,” Ezrene was frozen till her core by hearing Corbin because Cynthia had never told her regarding this that Braxton Waiyer was her father. She was just aware of this thing that he was Asael's mother's best friend. Even Cressa was peering at Corbin, shocked.“Her father?” Ezrene uttered, appalled. Corbin sighed before nodding at her.“Yes, Braxton Waiyer is Cynthia's father and it's one of the biggest reasons why Cynthia has used every ounce of her power to keep Asael safe from Ziven's clutches, so that she could use Asael to make Ziven pay for everything he has done to her father, Braxton Waiyer,” both Ezrene and Cressa heard his every word keenly.“But why did Ziven kill Braxton?” Cressa questioned, confused which made Corbin sigh.“All of this began when Ziven married Asael's mother, Anara. Despite her belonged from a financially poor family, Ziven married her who was a very renowned and powerful businessman even at that time but Ziven had his motiv
“Three years ago, he died that same exact night when Asael Elayzer died for the whole world,” Ezrene went completely numb by hearing those words of Cynthia’s. She just could not believe what she was hearing. Braxton Waiyer was dead? But how? Her mind refused to believe it.“What? But how?” Ezrene could not stop herself from asking Cynthia which made Cynthia sigh heavily before she finally parted her mouth to answer Ezrene.“Ziven killed him that night before me and Asael reached there,” Cynthia’s answer froze Ezrene till her core.“Because when we both reached there, we found Braxton Waiyer dead there. We could not save him from Ziven,” tears stung Ezrene’s eyes as soon as those words escaped from Cynthia’s mouth. By now she had been believing that he was alive because Braxton Waiyer was her only hope which was keeping that hope alive inside her heart that she could get back her Asael but she was not aware that that hope of hers had died that same exact night since she got that urge t
His glowering gaze peered into those silver eyes of that person whom he had trusted a lot throughout his life as that person knew the deepest and darkest secrets of his life. Cynthia Cooper. The woman who had made sure to keep him alive in order to satiate her own needs. She had made Ezrene do all of this?He watched Cynthia stepping inside that room and then walking closer to him. She stood right in front of him and then travelled her eyes back to Ezrene who was gazing at her through her glossy eyes. This made Cynthia sigh before she trailed her gaze back at him again.“It was me who made Ezrene lie to you about aborting your child and it was me who gave her those fake reports of her abortion,” he wordlessly heard every word of her and then twirled his head.He turned his head around to look at Ezrene where he found those tears streaming down from her eyes and as soon as her gaze collided with his, she lowered her head and this confirmed that everything Cynthia was saying was the tru
“Ms. Soler hadn't had an abortion but a miscarriage, three years ago,” those words of that gynaecologist froze him for a moment. It took him a while to process everything but when he did, his jaw clenched.Gripping his gun more firmly, he stood up on his feet and pressed the gun against that gynaecologist's head, freezing her in horror.“If you dared fucking lying to me then I will make this day the last day of your life,” he seethed out at her, outraged. Rage was searing inside him since the moment he got to know that she lied to him regarding her miscarriage. He just couldn't take it because only he knew how much in those three years he had been shattering from within. He was screaming, he was writhing but the most painful part was that no voice came out of his mouth regarding his pain.Megan swallowed in fear before she slowly shook her head and then turned the laptop towards him.“I….I am not lying. You can see it yourself,” she uttered to him while tears started forming in her eye
“You need to kill that gynaecologist right now,” that person heard those words on the call which made him shove that gun inside his pocket. “Your work will be done,” saying that he hung up the call and then covered his mouth with the mask and then roamed his eyes everywhere around that hospital before he walked out of that corner and then took a glance at his own reflection in the glass window where he found himself dressed up as a ward boy of that hospital.Covering his face more properly with the mask, he hurriedly walked towards the cabin of his target and Ezrene's gynaecologist, Megan.He knocked on her cabin’s door and then received her response to come in after almost half a minute which made him hurriedly step inside that cabin where he found her sitting on her chair and doing something on her laptop.Sensing his presence, gynaecologist Megan took her head upward from her laptop and looked at that person whom she assumed was a new ward boy as she had never seen him here before.
“Eat a bit, Rene. You haven't eaten anything for almost two days,” Cressa uttered to Ezrene while extending the bite of food towards her mouth but Ezrene made no efforts to eat the food who was sitting on the bed like a statue inside her room.Cressa passed a glance at Corbin who was also present there with both the girls. He was also looking extremely worried, especially seeing Ezrene's state. She was looking extremely weak and she even had a fever but she was still refusing to eat and that was concerning for everyone.“Rene….. please eat,” Cressa requested. “Yes, Ezrene….. please eat. For our sake. Your health will turn more bad if you continue to starve yourself like this,” Corbin also joined Cressa in persisting Ezrene to eat.“Yes, Rene. He is right. You know that staying hungry is extremely harmful for your health, so please eat,” Cressa pushed the bite of food more closer to Ezrene's mouth and this made Ezrene trail her eyes towards Cressa and seeing her eyes pleading her, Ezre
Peering straight into his viciously numb azure eyes, Ezrene shut her watery lashes tightly and pulled the trigger of that gun which she was pressing against her temple.“Ezrene,” both Cressa and Corbin shouted while storming towards her to stop her but it had already turned too late. She succeeded in pulling the trigger of the gun but which stunned everyone was that that gun didn't fire any bullet.Ezrene waited for that gun to tear her life out of her body but even after pulling the trigger, she heard and felt nothing. The clicking of the trigger resonated but no bullet came out of the gun which startled every single one present there, except for that one single person who was wordlessly peering at Ezrene.Slowly opening her eyes, Ezrene pulled back that gun and looked at it thoroughly. She pulled the trigger a couple more times but nothing happened which befuddled her until she noticed something which enlarged her eyes. That gun was empty. It didn't have any bullets but how was this
Holding a burning cigarette in between his fingers and sitting on that chair, his piercing sapphire eyes were gazing at that sun which had finally started rising up, illuminating the darkness of that night which was scattered all over the sky till now. He took a puff from the burning cigarette and blew its smoke through his mouth and nose but his gaze remained fixed at that rising sun without even falling his lashes. He finally felt the presence of his man who came forward and stood beside him. He bowed his head and then uttered those words to him.“He didn't kill that girl, boss,” hearing those words of his man, he smashed that burning cigarette in between his fingers before the corner of his mouth tugged upward. Slightly tilting his head, he dropped that smashed cigarette on the ashtray on the table and then stood up on his feet.“Get them in front of me,” he ordered his man who immediately nodded at him and then left, whereas his sapphire eyes remained glued to the sky which had n
“Take my life, Corbin,” Cressa uttered those words to him while a tear escaped from her own eyes because never in her worst she had ever imagined that she would have to say that thing to him, especially after meeting him after so long.From a distance, he just continued to stare at her in complete silence which made Cressa take her steps closer to him. Walking towards him, Cressa stopped right in front of him. Her face wore no fear, no regret, no desperation to save herself from his hands. Rather, she was looking calm, composed and at peace.“Kill me, Corbin and take both of us out from this painful dilemma,” she uttered, gazing into his firm grey eyes which lacked every emotion at that moment. He was staring at her like a lifeless statue and that thing hurt Cressa because you could never endure that person turning emotionless to whom your every emotion belonged.“Take my life and get yourself out of this painful choice of choosing between your strength and your weakness, Corbin. Kill
