"Bad enough to live with you even after you scared the hell out of me." She smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes."Do I scare you, Brielle?" I asked her, momentarily stunned. I know I can be intimidating sometimes."A bit."I can't do this. I can't take advantage of her weakness.Do you want the money and investment? You don't have to work for me. I can help you. " I offered herShe looked surprised for a minute but then resumed eating the ice cream."Thank you but no thank you." I'd rather pay back myself. I don't need any more favors. "Jesus, she is so stubborn."I mean it, Emberly." You don't have to pay me back immediately. Take your time. " I tried once more."Am I that bad? I will try my best. " Her voice was so low, almost a whisper.I sighed deeply, feeling pity for her.Pride and stubbornness are her dangerous qualities."So how are we going to make this work?"What was it about her that compelled me to learn more about her?"I don't know. You are perfectly fine when y
Brielle POVI still remember, when I was small, I always thought that tone day I will meet my soulmate who will love me and only me like every normal girl dreams After Zuriel comes into my life, I've started feeling the emotions, I've been even though, I would never feel after sloping my parents I started feeling, jealousy, love, care, worry, for him which I'd even never thought will be felt again But here there is a twist in the taleZuriel didn't love me/he loves someone else My eyes felt so blurry as I was walking on an empty deserted road, my chest felt so heavy, even my limbs felt so light like they didn't belong to me, my eyes felt sore, and when I tried to will my tears away, I winced when a sharp pain occurs in my head Suddenly, the rain started falling over, making me trembling I hugged myself and sat on the side of the road below the large tree I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged myself more Zuriel was in love with someone else, I don't even know that did he
Ah, hell.Why did she have to be so damn gorgeous? She snuck a glance at me."Why?" I asked curiously."What do you mean, why?" She scrunched her nose. "This should be the other way around. You are caring, sweet, and charming, even though you can get on my nerves sometimes. And sometimes you annoy me so much that I think I hate you and you pull my...I never let her complete the sentence. I raised my upper body, bent my head and took her mouth with mine. The scent of chocolate and coconut swarmed my senses. Her lips fit perfectly with mine, supple and soft. I braced myself for her protest, but she gave a little moan, sinking her fingers into my hair.In some dim corner of my mind, I knew what I was doing was way wrong. I was leading her on without any promises. But I knew if I didn't kiss her, she'd be the death of me. The taste of chocolate lingered on her tongue, along with a honeyed sweetness. My head spun as I became drunk on her, diving in and out of that silky mouth for more. Be
And I hated that! I hated that even after all this time she still remained in my mind, in my memories. Brielle blinked and shook her head. I wondered what she was thinking about. Maybe how fucked up I am!"Walter Anderson once said bad things do happen to everyone; bad accidents, bad relationships... but how we respond to them defines our character and the quality of our life. I know it hurts like hell but you can choose to sit in perpetual sadness... immobilized by the gravity of your loss, or you can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift you have - life itself. You are an... amazing guy and any girl would be lucky to have you but you are being extremely unfair to yourself... ""He said 'Zuriel Richardson' is an amazing guy"?" I teased and she rolled her eyes"No, I said that but he did say "pain is a part of life, it is what makes us human, it shapes us and helps us just as laughter and love do, you don't have to forget her, but you cannot let it destroy y
6:35 amThe bright numbers on the clock nearly made me pull my hair out. Talk about being a non-violent person! I couldn't believe I had spent an entire night thinking about his past! My mind was telling me not to judge her so quickly since I only knew one side of the story. It took two to tango, so maybe it wasn't entirely her fault? This was something that I couldn't agree on. I stared at the ceiling till I could see the rays of sunshine through the blinds.Great! Its morning already!I quietly climbed out of the bed deciding to have a long bath to soothe my tense muscles. After slipping into a sundress, it was a warm day. I decided to call Analia using one of the apps I had on my phone. Good thing this mansion has free Wi-Fi!"Hey." She picked up on the first bell."Hey, how are you?" I asked her."Not bad at all, still clinging on your brother, " she chuckled and I laughed No matter how hurt she was, she never let it show it on mood, she always managed to eht I've rit, I wish I
"Have a nice day." She says chirpily and winked at me before turning back.With the bags in my hand, I went back to my room and hesitantly opened one of the bags. My eyes went round when I saw the logo on the box.Shit, he was serious.Oh my god.This time, I opened the box quickly and gasped loudly. He might not know what to say to a girl, but he did have an amazing taste in clothes.Its freaking Oscar de la Renta!And the dress was ah-ma-zing!Feeling too excited, I stripped down and quickly dressed myself. Aghh, it looked perfect. Now I just needed to shut the zip, which was on the side. It zipped effortlessly till it made a sound.Wait, something isn't right.I tried to zip the dress once more but I struggled. I held my breath and tried again but it just wouldn't bulge.Mother-fudger...!I tried again and again till my fingers were pink with the force I was using. It was a wonder the zip wasn't in pieces. Then realisation hit me like a homerun.Oh god.The dress won't fit.This is
"My choice!" I half scoffed. "I wanted to wear it." I defended myself. Deep down, I knew I was acting childish but something inside me was a little peeved."Then why aren't you?" He asked me once more and I was quiet.I wanted to tell him but I couldn't and I knew I was making an issue out of nothing. As childish as I sounded, I wanted to know how he felt about me. I didn't want to be another one of the girls he wined and dined."I felt like wearing this." I shrugged my shoulders and clasped my hands tightly. Curse me for starting this conversation."But you couldn't wear the one I sent you?" He glanced at me sideways. "Again Brielle, its fine. You don't have to feel guilty about it. I thought you'd like that dress." He was trying his best to not sound detached."I am sorry. I'll send it back tomorrow." I told him and he looked baffled for a second. It wasn't like I was ever going to wear that again so it was better to send it back rather than wasting money. His lip curved in a myster
Please stop!"I'll see you around. If you want to see me, I am available till next week. It's been nice meeting you." She didn't wait for him to answer. He was clenching the fork a bit too tightly."Hey, just ignore her, 'kay?" I placed my hand on top of his and squeezed it lightly, letting him know I was there for him.He bowed his head and a small smile bloomed over his face. When he looked up, it nearly took a breath out of me. My throat tightened with an unknown emotion. I could see his mouth moving but could not hear a word. I was well aware of his deliciously spicy scent that surrounded me, even though he was sitting across the small table. I could feel his body heat burning through his clothes and reaching out to entangle me.This is not good."I need to use... excuse me." I looked around for the restroom."Sure." He answered.I fled to the toilet and stood near the sink. I rested my hands on the cool tiles. What was that? It can't be what I'm thinking. I can't... Don't say it.

I cleared my eyes, oppressive pain passed through my grit and bone, I recognized that I am again linked with metal Handcuffs, so many men are defending this chamber where they put me from insideI don't realize how long I am here but I guess it's newer than twelve hoursThen my mind reached back to my Aaron, my husband my existence, my soul, my heartDid he learn where I am, I am feeling so fragile now I didn't even eat anything for three days; I thought to have a beautiful and peaceful life with him, carrying his kids.I don't think so, I can be alive much now, I just wish to see a love of my life, my soul, my husband Aaron before dying"Don't worry beautiful your husband will never get a know where are you because, our boss kept you in very, very far away and dangerous abandoned island," Man of That bastard fabian bark to meMy hands are arching to slap his not go good ugly face and kill him"I know my Aaron will come here for me and kill fabian and arrogance of fabian will be burne
I adjust my eyes open and noticed; I am in some dark, isolated place they cuff my hand with metal chains and the same to my legsI heard the sound of waves like I am near some island or sea shoresideSuddenly the door of that dark room opened"You are awake darling," I heard a man's voiceI looked up to see who he was it was an unfamiliar voice but looked so dangerousI can't be able to see him because of the dark in the roomHe chuckled "want to see me," He sneered and order his men to open the windows of the room, when they opened windows, icy breeze wind and smell of fresh seawater waves through me like, I am at some seaside or on IslandI closed my eyes when they contacted sunlight directly; I felt the empty feeling in my stomach I looked up who he was. He was a man seems in his mid-sixties and he has forest green eyes and an ugly scar behind his eyes"So, finally you saw my darling," He asked me and comes near me. He lifted his hand to touch me but, I quickly jerked backward"Don
"You didn't attract from me," He said to smirk while coming towards me I started going backward, soon I bumped into a wall of the kitchen he cage me between his arms his eyes are on my lips, I blushed so hard feeling his intense gaze over me and the next thing he does is very surprisingNext moment he pressed his lips over mineI quickly grabbed the hem of his shirt in a halt with a small gasp, he is kissing me His lips brushed mine. Not innocent, like a tease, but hot, fiery, passionate, and demanding. I want to pull away before I lose myself, but I can't seem to...In this minty moment, my senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight. "Eternity," he whispers slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them. I arched my head back closing my eyes, when his hand reaches my thighs and he clutched my waist so tightly, my heart fluttering at his voice as I clasp my hands on either side of his shoulders and gripped his shoulders. Never before has my name ever felt so wonder
When I saw a shooting star, I quickly gripped the hem of my shirt, I am wearing simple pyjama pants with a shirt, and I have felt that familiar sensation since childhood whenever I saw a shooting star, my insides always felt so light with a strange feeling that everything is going to be alright soon, even though I don't know why, but somewhere I am feeling that soon everything is going to be just fine, I quickly closed my eyes and joined my hands and started making a wish to star."God', I hope that I will soon be able to show my innocence to Aaron so that his hatred for me will disappear; I'm not sure what will happen after that, but I can't stand his hatred,"!!My eyes were closed and I was slowly regressing; I don't know when I bumped into someone, but I gasped as I felt it. As I was ready to fall because of a sudden chill (dread), someone seized me and wrapped his arms around my waist possessively.I slowly opened my eyes and saw the most stunning set of crystal blue deep eyes sta
"Oof!" I yelled.Arron abruptly halted and turned around, his gaze falling on my wounded leg, and he jogged towards me."What happened, are you all right?" he inquired, frowning and lightly rubbing my hurt leg."I slipped off so my leg," I explained to him, gulping and closing my eyes as I winced from the pain in my ankle. A small amount of blood is also on the way."Seriously, girl, why are you so clumsy and silly, huh, you can't even look after yourself?" With wrinkled brows and a straight gaze into my eyes, he remarked, shaking his head.I scowled and let out a little gasp as I looked at him. "It's not my fault, what can I do if I fall by accident, you're acting as if I did it on purpose," I said to him.As my shoulders slumped back, he checked my leg again, rubbing it tenderly, and I closed my eyes, biting my lips and swallowing the anguish in my leg."I'll take you inside your room," I split my lips slightly tasting his scent as he cradled me in his arms, my head resting on his
I noticed that man who was quite helpful, He's the same age as Aaron and is dressed in an Armani suit. With black hair and sea-blue eyes, he is rather attractive, but not as much as Aaron."Thank you," I said earnestly, my eyes crinkling."Anything for a gorgeous lady," he remarked with a grin."Well, my name is Issac Raccio, and I am the CEO of Raccio Communications and Limited Cooperation," he says. He smiled as he spoke to me."Oh, my name is Eternity Grang......, Um Knight," I said.He took my hand in his and kissed it."So, you're Aaron Knight's wife," he said, maintaining eye contact with me.I nodded and shifted my gaze to the way.He spoke to me while squirming and said, "Your name is genuinely very charming, beautiful name of the beautiful lady.""Thank you again for your kindness," I told him, noting that it was thoughtful of him to give me with tissue so quickly; otherwise, a chocolate stain would ruin my beautiful gown, which would be quite uncomfortable.He had said to
Wow, Eter, you are very stunning.Olivia chirped, her fingers splayed and one palm covering her eyes, beaming as if she saw Lilly Collins in front of her.I'm dressed to the nines.The crimson fuchsia high-low dress is cut vertically at the hemline, making it short in some places and long in others. The sheath prom gown clings to the body and conceals nothing.It clung to my body like a second skin.It's stunning.I don't know much about cosmetics or getting ready, so I asked Olivia to help me pick out a dress and apply my makeup for today's banquet party, which I'll be attending with Aaron."Wow, Eternity, you are looking so gorgeous," Amy exclaimed as she entered the room." Aaron is really lucky to have a gorgeous wife like you darling.""Thank you," I replied as I examined myself in the mirror as Olivia styled my beautiful brown hair."Look," Amy said, pointing to a pair of stunning diamond earrings. "Mr. Knight said you have to wear this to the party."I took the box from her and
I consciously opened my eyes from my slumber while lying in my bed, and I felt a soft quilt about my waist.I'm not sure how I ended up on the bed; I vividly remember passing asleep on my room's floor.Then I wiped my eyes, and the first thing I noticed was Aaron sitting on my bed, watching at me with concerned filled eyes. This was the first time I noticed he was concerned about me, and I sat up on my bed, knowing he was the one who placed Oilment and medicinal bandage on my wound."It doesn't hurt much," I told him, expecting to see a glimpse of hope in his eyes that he cares about me.My heart is rushing so quickly as I feel his deep gaze over me, halt at my lips, then my breasts, then return to my eyes."I know you care about me," I told him with a smile.That sweet expression in his eyes transformed back to a cold and harsh one when he understood what I was saying."No, I don't care about you; I only did this because I'm the only one who can damage you; no one else can." He mumbl
