Her emerald eyes enlarged, seeing him taking out that same exact looking watch which he had shattered under his feet in their classroom but this watch was looking completely alright.
He grinned, seeing that shocked reaction on her face. He found it adorable whenever she looked at something with her wide doe eyes so startled.
“Well, you shouldn't have thrown it in the dustbin if it's so important to you, wifey,” he uttered, enlarging her shocked eyes even more. It was her watch or else how would he know that she had thrown it inside the dustbin? Had he taken it out of the dustbin but it was looking completely fine and working now, so how? How did he fix her broken watch in just a couple of hours?
“Well….well as I said, I have my ways, " he said to her while holding her hand and she continued to gape at him, appalled. He pushed his face closer to hers.
“And I am not afraid of using them, Bella,” he pecked her cheek lightly, taking her out of her shock. Ezrene recovered from her shock and found him smirking at her and that was where she remembered. He was Asael Elayzer who could do and make anyone do anything at any time the way he wanted and pleased, so fixing her watch in a couple of hours was not that of a big deal for him.
“Now, let's make my wifey wear her watch which she has brought after so much effort,” he uttered to her as now he knew how much she had restricted her spendings to get this watch which he was not aware of previously.
Asael was about to make her wear her watch when his eyes landed on that watch on her wrist which darkened his demeanor as it made him recall who had given it to her and had even touched her while helping her in wearing it.
Her eyes widened when she witnessed him aggressively unclutching that watch from her wrist but making sure to not harm her physically in any way. Asael was about to throw that watch away but she immediately stopped him by holding his hand tightly.
“No, please,” she pleaded as she knew what he was going to do with that watch because he might be aware of who had given it to her and Ezrene even knew how much he hated Leone. In fact, he despised each and every boy or man with whom she tried to get associated with in any way, like he was the only man who could get closer to her and that thing made her hate him more but she knew she could not dare to trigger him regarding this, so she just requested.
Asael gritted his teeth, watching her trying to stop him from breaking that watch which that fucker, Leone had given her. Eliminating all the distance from their bodies, he snaked his arm around her waist and firmly pressed her against his chest.
“This filthy thing should not matter to you, understood, Bella?” He warned her in a calm tone which terrified her, especially seeing that rage blazing in his eyes.
“But he…..” he shut her up by holding her jaw in a slightly rigid grip which didn't hurt her but it scared her awfully. His gaze filled with pure malice.
“I can cope up with your defiance, your negligence, your disobedience but….” He tightened his hold around her jaw, filling her with more fear. She was frightened by this barbaric side of his. It was dreadfully scary.
“I can never cope up with your closeness with any other man or a fucking boy for any reason. Did you understand that?” he seethed out at her, threateningly which made her lower her eyes in fear.
He let go off her jaw and then grabbed her hand. He made her wear her watch and then looked at her who was still not looking at him and this angered him. She was now ignoring him for that fucker, Leone.
Clutching her waist, he made her look at him. Their gazes fastened.
“Do not dare to forget this thing ever that you just belong to me and only me,” he uttered to her while gazing at her viciously.
“And it should stay like this till the last breath of your life, mi bella,” his words brought tears in her eyes again but she could not dare to say anything to him in return because she knew he was not going to listen to her as no one and nothing could make him believe otherwise that she was not a doll which he could own just at his and attempting to make him understand that could definitely result in an irredeemable kind of havoc which he was going to create.
“So you will stay away from that fucker, Leone or else….” He pecked her earlobe, making her shudder.
“I will not hesitate to put an end to his fucking pathetic life,” a tear rolled down from her eyes, hearing those venomous words of his for Leone just because he was her friend and the most horrifying thing here was that she knew he was not just threatening her. He was actually capable of doing whatever he was here threatening her with.
“I hate you….” she breathed out, holding back her sobs but her words caused a dreadful grin to form on his eyes.
“I am glad to know that, wifey because….” Thrusting his face closer, he pressed his lips against that tear on her cheek which made Ezrene dig her nails against her palms.
“I am that fucking possessive bastard of yours who doesn't allow you to even share your hatred with anyone else, let alone your desires, lust, love or any other feeling, bella,” he cooed against her skin which made her clench her palms.
She continued to glare at him through her glossy eyes which made him chuckle and then he wiped her glossy eyes with his thumbs tenderly.
“Now go. It's time for your next class, he said to her and then kissed her forehead amiably.
“And thank you for making your hubby proud by topping the college,” he uttered which made Ezrene scowl at him and then, she pushed his hand away from her face and dashed away from there, making him chuckle.
“Don't forget to collect your notes from the ground, wifey,” he shouted at her which made Ezrene show him her middle finger while scowling at him, making him chuckle at her. As much as her braveness pissed him off, he loved it too.
As soon as she left from that place, he trailed his eyes back at that watch in his hand which that fucker, Leone had given her. Clenching his jaw, he crushed that watch in his vicious hold and then threw it away forcefully. No one and nothing should get closer to him until and unless it was him or his belongings because she was just his.
Shoving his hand inside his pocket, he took out that tiny doll of that bride which she had left behind as a mistake but he was keeping that mistake with him since that very day when that 5 years old, Ezrene, had asked him to be her hubby.
Smiling at that little bride's doll, he put it back inside his pocket and then trailed his eyes towards that door from where she had left.
“You are mine, mi bella…just mine,” those words rolled out of his tongue because he believed she had always been his and just his.
After her college, Ezrene returned back to her home and went straight to the kitchen where she knew her mother, Seana, was because the very first thing she always did after returning from her college was to hug her mother if she would be present in home and she knew her mamma was home today as she had taken some days off from her work due to her health reasons.
“Mamma….” Ezrene hugged her mother from behind but noticed that the milk was boiling on the stove but her mother's attention was not there.
“Hey! Careful,” Ezrene uttered and turned off the gas stove.
“Oh….sorry. I didn't pay attention to it. You are alright, Rene?” Her mother asked her, concerned which brought a smile on Ezrene's face as she knew how much her mamma loved her.
“I am fine, mamma,” she said to her mother, earning a nod from her mother but Ezrene clearly saw that worried look remained still plastered on her mother's face.
“Mamma, is everything alright?” She asked her.
“Your health is fine, right?” She checked her mother's forehead to examine her body temperature which felt normal. Her mother sighed and then grabbed her hands in hers.
“Go and freshen up. I will give you something to eat,” her mother said to her.
“After that, I need to talk to you regarding something important, Rene,”
She wagged her head at her mother and asked.
“Is everything alright?” She got worried now which made her mother pat her cheek lightly.
“Just eat something first then we'll talk about it,” her mother replied, making Ezrene sigh and then she left from the kitchen and her mother continued to gaze at her child with the fear that how would she react after what she was going to tell her but she needed to do it, for the sake of her daughter's betterment.
“Now please tell me, mamma. What happened?” Ezrene asked as soon as she got done eating her food. Her mother sighed heavily before replying to her.
“We need to go somewhere tomorrow to meet my friend as I want you to meet him,” her mother's answer confused her. Him? She was not aware that her mother had a male friend. Besides, why would she want her to meet him?
“Your friend?” She asked and her mother nodded.
“Yes. He is m…more than just a friend,” her mother sounded hesitant and now her nervousness had started making sense to Ezrene.
“Mamma….”Ezrene held her mother's hands tightly.
“Are you seeing someone?” She asked her mother that obvious question and noticed her mother's eyes brimming with tears. She looked extremely nervous which made Ezrene sigh. She cupped her mother's face and wiped her eyes.
“I am happy for you, mamma,” she pecked her mother's forehead.
“I am happy that you think about giving yourself another chance in life,” Ezrene uttered, smiling because she understood how scared her mother was as she didn't know how she was going to react to this thing.
Her mother gave birth to Ezrene when she was just 20 and when Ezrene turned 10, her father died due to some severe illness and that was where, everything shattered in their life but her mother didn't give up and holding her own pain and loneliness, she continued to work hard in order to give Ezrene a well maintained life and she was doing it since the past 10 years. Ezrene knew about all of this. That her mother never tried to think about herself in these past 10 years, so now knowing that her mother had finally thought about giving herself another chance in life, she was genuinely feeling happy for her mother and her decision because she knew every person deserved someone with whom they could share their deepest secrets and emotions.
“You have no problem with this?” Her mother questioned, still looking worried. Ezrene smiled at her mother as she knew how of an innocent soul she was. She was almost 40 but her heart was still innocuous like a little child.
Beaming, Ezrene pulled her mother in her arms and then hugged her.
“No, I am extremely happy for you and I am more than willing to meet and accept that person whom you have chosen for yourself, mamma,” she uttered and in return felt her mother tightly hugging her back.
Sighing, she pecked her mother's head and just closed her eyes, unaware of that dreadful disaster which she was going to witness tomorrow when she would have to find Asael Elayzer in front of her as HER STEPBROTHER.

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 d
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
“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
