It was only when you came into my life that I realised it was worth living. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET VIOLET“Whatever my wife wants.”I watched, anticipation filling my chest as he slipped out of his suit jacket. Next came off his waistcoat. Slowly, he started to unbutton his shirt, never taking his eyes off me and I felt warm heat taking hold of me as he unceremoniously threw it aside. And as his broad chest came into view, I couldn’t help but let my gaze roam all over him, his bronzed skin made my fingertips itch to caress every inch of him. And then my eyes travelled down his muscular torso to his hands that were now resting on his belt, and an involuntary noise left my lips to which he chuckled. “So impatient, my princess.”I shook my head. “Your wife. She wants to see her husband and put her mark on you, and then make you hers.”“Fûck.” He groaned. And then without wasting any time, he unbuckled himself, shucked off his pants and got nakéd in front of me.I sat back on my haunches, l
I found a dream that I could speak to,A dream that I could call my own. ~ Etta James.Third Person POVIn the ballroom where the reception party was being held, the Carter brothers and their better halves stood in a circle. Dom was the first one who said, “Well, I can’t believe it really happened. Our beautiful little Violet got married to Cole finally.”Mad’s blue eyes met his brothers one by one and a smile crossed his lips. “Yeah, who’d have thought.” A look that showed that he was thinking about past crossed his face and he said, “Almost four years ago when I met Cole, I never thought he’d be like one of us and that I’ll ever see Violet again, after...” He trailed off, his arm tightening around his wife on instinct, seeking her warmth at the reminder of his dark and cold past.Brandon squeezed his shoulder, knowing when his brother was getting emotional. “Everything happens for a reason. And at the end it’s always for the best.”“Yup. Definitely.” Kiara joined, her chirpy voice
COLEMy hands are shaking. I noticed absently as I waited for the elevator doors to open. My heart felt like it was heavy with a weight that seemed too painful to take. The call I received wasn’t one I was ready for, especially on my wedding day. On the day I promised myself to the woman I love. But then the woman I was here for was the one I had once loved, she had been the reason because of whom I met my princess. The hospital corridors that I had walked on so many times seemed to stretch out in front of me forever, the white linoleum tiles made my eyes ache. And by the time I came to stand in front of the room that I had been in countless times before, I was blank, my emotions on a standstill.Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and as I stepped in, the stark reality of the hospital environment clashed with the warmth of the celebration of my wedding that I just left, a harsh juxtaposition that mirrored the abrupt shift in my world. My eyes instantly went to the bed, but it w
COLESebastian wanted me to keep my marriage with Violet a secret from his sister, I understood where he was coming from but I didn’t want to. A sense of guilt and panic was rising inside me at the thought of deceiving Violet like that but then Sebastian requested, as a brother he asked me to do just this one last favor for his sister. And I couldn’t deny him that. I only agreed for him. Guilt was a fucked up emotion, it made you do things you'd rather not.It was close to two in the morning when I stepped out of the elevator into my penthouse. The motion sensor lights came on and I stopped when I found my princess on the sofa fast asleep. My heart heavy and feeling like the worst husband at the moment, I made my way to her. On the way from the hospital I had charged my phone in the car and found texts from the twins and several missed calls from my mom. Turned out my mother had wanted Violet to stay at the house when everyone realized I wasn’t coming back on time as I had told them,
COLEI entered the apartment and as I made my way further, following the sound of music coming from the kitchen, I paused when Violet came into view. My beautiful wife. She was listening to Closer by chainsmokers, and swaying to beats while she did what she definitely shouldn’t: she was cooking.I shook my head to myself as I leaned against a pillar and watched her work. She waved the knîfe in the air, her hips moving from left to right as she sang along. The picture she made was a heart melting sight. With her here in this big white and cold penthouse, she had really made it a home filled with warmth and love that I ached to come back to. It had been a week since we got married and said our vows. A week of shared smiles and whispered promises that echoed in the walls of our new life together, that felt like a little heaven without a shadow in sight. But that wasn't the truth though, was it? I quickly pulled my mind off that path, I had just come from my parents’ house and the scene
VIOLETLife was turning out to be like a chapter from a fairy-tale. I was so happy it was scary. I just wanted to have this happiness forever without anything to dampen it. Cole and I had settled into a routine in our new life that we shared which was like a dream. Every morning he wakes up before me, makes breakfast— even though I insist that I could make us breakfast, he wouldn’t let me and I know he it had something to do with the pie I had made a few days ago. I didn’t know how he even ate that thing, I couldn't after two bites. But my husband was so adorable when he ate the damn thing and even complimented me, didn’t even let me throw it in the sink when I told him that he shouldn’t be eating it.I digress though, each morning after a breakfast made by my husband which always turns out to be delicious, I go back to sleep because of how tired I feel from our last night’s activities or sometimes I join him in the shower where he takes his time to wash me but we end up back in the b
COLE“Princess?” I knocked on the bathroom door, waiting for her answer. When none came, I called out, “Violet?” We were just having lunch downstairs when she suddenly paled and almost dropped her cup of coffee that she had wanted to drink. Her hand shaking she had put the coffee cup down and I hadn’t missed the look of pain on her face that she was trying to mask. But before I could even ask, she had bolted out of there. Now as I stood outside the bathroom, in our bedroom, I went back to the last few days and remembered all the times when she had been constantly pulling away from me and in a very subtle way that I hadn’t noticed before but now if I think about it, it was very evident. Also the times when I had caught her with a frown on her forehead or the flash of pain whenever she sat down or stood up.“Violet, are you okay? Open the door, princess.” I was so busy in my own fûcking lies that I only noticed her smiles and the front she was putting for me when in fact it could be an
With you I'm always on the precipice, afraid of the fall and yet ready to take the plunge for you. ~ A. Gupta..COLE“I think you’ve had enough.” Mad snatched the bottle of vodka that I had claimed as mine when I felt like beer and whiskey wasn’t doing there job right. My head was still a mess with all the guilty curses aimed at me but at least now it was a little foggy under the haze of alcohol.“I don’t know what do you have to drink for, you just got married.” Dom said, leaning back in his seat. We were in one of the many exclusive clubs in NY and after their usual bickering and catching up on mundane things they have all settled in, and I realised now all there attention was on me. “It’s nothing.” I said, taking a sip from Mad’s glass only to spit it out when I found it was just a cola. “What the hell!”He shrugged. “I am driving.”I laughed. “And, you have become so responsible since when.”“Since, I got married and have kids.” He answered, his blue eyes scrutinizing me.I look
