Her eyes casually flipping through the pages to stop at the front page.
And she spots out the coffee in shock."What the fuc-"
Composing herself ,she looks around to see that thankfully there was no one there except for that little devil Blaze, sitting in a corner.
Tilting his head to a side and staring at her like she has grown two heads.
Keeping the cup down, she stares at the news with her eyes wide in shock.
Her pictures was there on the front page.
The pictures of the shoot that day...their wedding and some others which were taken randomly.
She grabs the remote and puts on a news channel , to only get up from her seat and stare at the lady blankly.
"The youngest billionaire in town , the only heir of Lockwood industries. Ethan Lockwood ties knots with a sansational beauty."
"Mrs Vivian Lockwood. Hi
Ethan's povI am feeling so lost these days.Not able to distinguish between right and wrong anymore.After Sophie's death, I didn't had it in me to even visit Vivian in the hospital.Or to protect her from going to the jail.I lost connection with this world. I became a living corpse who spent his days behind closed doors, struggling with depression.3 years.It took me 3 years to finally move forward in life, letting it all go.And I am happy I didTo stand on my feet again and make a mark in the business world and make my family proud.But now, when I see Vivian.I can see her struggles resembling mine.Except for the only difference.That she hasn't moved on.She pretends she has, but I can see it clearly now.
Isn't life like a big complex puzzle which is very difficult to solve when one is young.But as time passes, pieces start fitting together.You start realising why things happen and what are their purpose.You start understanding the meaning of life.You start understanding your origin.I wouldn't have even dreamed that Vivian and me will be blood related.I always longed for a sibling,and see the irony.I couldn't see that the one I wanted was always with me.I got a sibling, but I couldn't tell it to her.I found her, but it was too late by then.Our father , the man that left me when I was 5 was always a mystery. Mom never talked about him and after asking her a hundred times,I stopped asking.
You thought you were alone looking at your fears in front.If only you could see the army at your rear, guarding you upfront.....................................................He lowered his head , smirking. His disgusting lips touch her shoulders and she thrashed harder."Leave me! You asshol*!"She screams,to only have him move his fingers around her neck and slam her head on the wall behind."Ahhhh"She screams , feeling a sharp pain in her head. Her struggles immediately seize as she got numb for few seconds.Her vision turning hazy.He took this as an opportunity and lowers the shoulder of her top, leaving sloppy kisses down her shoulder.She wanted to push back but couldn't.Too weak to even move her limbs. Her phone keeps vibrating in her pocket , but she couldn't help cry.
Ethan povHow can she be so irresponsible!Why the hell isn't she picking up my call!And why the hell she didn't speak anything when I called her!I swear I am going to give her a good punishment for fuc*** with my brain cells like that.I know I was a bit wrong in persuading her to shoot...but I did it for her own good.In the long run when she is a successful independent women, she will herself thank me for it.Outside I rejected the long list of models, who wanted to do this shoot.For what you ask?For her.And see where it got us. Hell I even asked sorry for leaving her all those years back.What else does she want from me?To rub my nose on her heel and plead her?I was young, I was stupid.I agree.But she has to understand
Vivian's povFlashback-The voices...the laughs...the looks are again shrouding me.I fold my arms on my legs, pressing my knees to my chest.Trying to block them.Slowly counting in my mind, rocking my cold frame in a corner of the big canteen in the cell.Trying to be invisible.45000022....45000023..."Hey ugly bit**. Wanna try?'Someone's interrupts my count and I look up ,afraid at the intruder.To see the same girl who has been persistently being too friendly.With tattoos all the way down her arms.Piercings, almost everywhere on.Her lip, eyebrow...A cigarette in her between her fingers, as she offers it to me.I gulp and move my head in a no, ignoring her and lowering my head back in my arms.Continuing my count.
The doctor leaves and Vivian couldn't help, throw aside the comforter and rush towards a mirror in the corner.The throbbing in her head, no longer bothering her.As a new fear has shaken her insides.Her eyes widen as she stared at herself.Her fingers trembling as they traced her reflection in the mirror.The scarIt was looking like new, raw and visible without any veils of foundation.She couldn't stop the tears, that leave her eyes.Closing them, she couldn't hide it any longer now."The doctor's...they had to clean your face to clean the blood trails."She hears his voice from behind and her fists clench in front of her.Not daring to look at him to meet his eye.Her mind too numb to interpret anything.And her legs struggling to stand...it seems the effect of anaesthesia has still not worn off completely.Before she could fall back, a strong grip on her waist from behind steadied her.
..... Narator pov.....You know what's the worst fear in life?The fear of unknown.The very fear in which Vivian was drowning and was trying her best to swim in to know what's hidden from everyone's eyes.The truth of that night.The recording she saw, the one the court and everyone saw was true.Cent percent true.She did push me in the waters that night.Yes, the same Vivian you root for pushed me.Yet I don't blame her.Because somewhere I always believed that whatever happens, happens for good.Sometimes half truth is more dangerous than the full. And that was in what all of them lived in.Only I knew this full truth.But see the irony, I couldn't tell them from here.
The night has been restless and the day,frustrating.Staring at her picture in his phone, Ethan sits impatiently.His right leg shaking ,as he anxiously waits for the person to come."Mr Lockwood. Good morning."Surprised,Ethan gets up. Shaking his hand.Dressed in black, the person looks around to see that no one was around.To only feel comfortable and settle down."What is it that is so impossible?"The person nods, handing him over a folder.While folding his hands on his lap.Anxious of how he will react."All the information is in it. It seems more was hidden than we thought."Ethan nods, running through the pages."Medical reports?"He asks in surprise, to only look up at the person briefly."No Mr Ethan. Not just medical reports but fraudulent
"Each inch of her skin talks to me in conundrums of jest.Her eyes, her touch,her lips are nothing but tools to hide the insecurities further in their depths.She asks me what I love the most about her scarred self.And I answer, pulling her closer to my chest."Your imperfection itself"- suzangill...2 years later"Will you fuck**** watch the road Del!"Elijah screams, hearing his heart thudding in his chest. While Delia simply smirks at him, still not looking in front."You doubt my driving hon?"He tightly held the seatbelt, to only hear a chuckle from behind."Speed up mom! I am loving it!"The 9 years boy ,speaks coming forward to settle between the seats. His elbows place
"When the time is right, even the land and sky unite by the threads of rain.Then what are two broken hearts.For the mighty, to be sealed to never be apart again ." ......Vivian gets up from the seat, pushing him aside to rush out of the room.To only have Ethan run after her."Vivian wait!"He calls after her, but she doesn't stop desperate to leave him. To only have him pull her from her wrists,and enter a room. Closing the door after himIt was a supplies room with no one there. She looks up at him with teary eyes, to only have his eyes to soften.Blocking her by placing his hands on her either side, he looks down at her with concerned eyes."Please! Let me go Ethan. Don't stop me now!""First answer my questions Vivian. Is Nix my daughter?"She looks up, unable to speak anything.While he cries desperately himsel
Endings should be happy right? But maybe sometimes in reality, this happiness is far fetched.It's a dream, a wishful thinking which is not achieved. But this does not mean, one should give up finding it.For the past is a testimony that hardwork and persistence has given one everything.Success, happiness and even Love.Perseverance has made the struggles to surrender.Even I tried , trust me I really did. But I gave up on it.I gave up trying to make the heart feel love, that has stoned to it's confines.I got Ethan for myself, but I only got back a shell. Who laughs at me a fake smile, pretends to be happy, but cries at night. A person hollow from his inside,with his heart missing.A person who takes care of me, is concerned for me but could never love me.It's been 8 years.8 years of our lives w
"I thought forgetting you was easy, to only realise.That something always seemed to be missing, left behind.Untill that day, I saw your eyesMaking me see all the happy and sad memories combined.Juxtaposed side by side,Finally completing all the missing pieces of the puzzles of my life." .... 8 years later"Next Maam Sophie!"The attendent at the reception of the hospital says, making Soph to stand up. Her hand intervined with Ethan's warm ones."This way please!"She says making them follow her towards the doctors cabin. The door is opened and they are greeted with the doctor's happy face.With the doctor getting
The cold breeze hits her face as she looks at the men surrounding her.Cleaning the tears running down her eyes."You want me right? I am here."She says opening her hands and surrendering herself. Knowing well that she was outnumbered to defeat so many men alone.If she can even keep Soph safe,it will be alot.James approaches her, looking behind her to clench his fist."You bitc*! Go and get her!"He orders and his men approach her. Guns pointed in their hands as they come closer to her.She doesn't resist. Looking at James with dead eyes. As his men hold her arms roughly."Aren't you a clever girl?"She scoffs, to only have James point his gun at her head. Ready to end her."I would love to see your father's face on seeing your corpse.""What a cruel play of desti
Till I was living for others, my happiness was running after theirs.The second I started living for myself.I didn't even feel the need to look back." - suzangill ....... Vivian's povEverything has a limit in this world, which once crossed could cause havoc in nature.May it be the calm sea at rest that rises into tsunamis.Or a simple beehive, if intruded to have the little bees kill a person in seconds.And this limit for me has been crossed. My patience has worn off and the box of lies has overflown.I knew what Ethan was doing.I heard him talking to his father that night, I heard everything.Yet, I
" We were not a power couple.We were two people bound by heights of misconceptions and hateYet I don't know whyIn you I found my soul mate".......Ethan's pov"What the hell Vivian! I told you I fucking hate you! What goddamit proof do you need for it!""Fine. I believe you.""Then you won't mind me doing this will you?"Lifting the gun and placing the nozzle of it on her temple, she looks at me with dead eyes.I stills, the challenge in her eyes. Forcing me to surrender and tell her the truth.But I don't....I can't tell her. She won't let me go otherwise.She will happily exchange herself to save Sophie.That's how much selfless my little Phoenix is."Please...just listen to me. Keep the gun down my little Phoenix. Please don't
7: 58 pm.A warehouse at the outskirts of the city.A slap echoes , breaking the silence in the room. Elijah holds his cheek, looking down at the floor breathing heavily."I am ashamed of calling you my Son! Such audacity to go against your own dad to help those bastards?""If there is where your loyalty lies? Go and never show me your face again!"Elijah clenches his fist, to look up at his father. Almost giving him a helpless look."Dad there is no gaining from this! Why are you so persistent to get this sick revenge! Please forget about it.... please!"James sees red, holding his collar and pulling him."How dare you even say this! Your mother....that bastard killed your mother while she was pregnant!""I know dad but it was a mistake! It was an accident! You have ruined your entire life for this
I thought she resembled a breeze of warm air, that soothed wherever she went.To only realize now she was blender of the air itself.That turned the hot loos to chilling needles of piercing rainLetting her typhoons out that she till now keptHarboured to rest. - suzangill© ......The first rays of sunlight illuminate the room ,as a couple stays entangled in the silken sheets.Their legs enmeshed together and bodies pressed against each other, radiating heat.While one was in deep slumber, the other couldn't find sleep.Lost in the thoughts of the events that waited to be unfolded, marking the journey of their karma and deeds.His knuckles caressing her cheek, enjoying
