....She was like a rose, graceful yet filled with thorns... Evelyn POV:- "Loving Adrian but marrying Lawrence. What a player you are!" My body froze in fear as shallow breaths were escaped by my lips. The dread which rises in me by hearing this is beyond my comprehension. I opened my mouth to say something but my quivering lips can even produce a single sound. Tears brimmed in my eyes as the terror consumed my body. My quivering lips muster some courage and spoke in a faint tone, "What are you talking about?" "Fine. I'll send those screenshots you send to Adrian, to Lawrence." My phone rang again. I looked and saw those texts I sent Adrian years ago. My body lost its strength and the feeling of being powerless took over me. I put the phone near my ear and spoke again, "What do you want?" My voice lingers with agony and loath for the voice which wants to destroy my life. "I'll call you back." The voice said as he cut the call. I closed my eyes and held my tears bac
...I pledged myself to you, only to find out that you are not the one I strive for. That, you are not the one I loved...Evelyn POV:-Becoming tensed and afraid by each passing second, I continued to live my life as if I am perfectly fine. Being tormented by this affliction, I am smiling radiantly. I just want this to end. This is causing me to crumble.Who is this and why is he or she doing it? Can’t I live happily? "Evelyn?" I snapped from my thoughts and looked at Lawrence who called my name worriedly."Yes?" I spoke in my usual sweet tone.“Where are you lost? Did you hear what I said?” He asked softly, holding my hand, rubbing circles over it.“I am sorry, I was.. Lost in thoughts. What were you saying?” I asked innocently, hoping he might not be angry due to my lack of attention."What happened? You are so lost nowadays." He said, concerned about me."It's nothing." I smiled and put my head over his shoulder. He took my other hand too in his, giving it a tight reassuring squeez
… You are made only for me, nothing in this world could alter this fact…Lawrence POV:-I am so happy. Happiness is not enough to explain how I am feeling. There's nothing else I want in this world. Evelyn is my hope, my everything. I feel like I am blessed with the most beautiful wife. I love every little gesture of hers. Her appealing gray eyes. Her raven locks that fall on her face make me fall for her more. The feelings of fondness increases by each passing second. I sometimes thought that this is a dream because having everything you desire happens in dreams. I smiled widely and looked at the enchanting features of my wife. Today, I woke up before her. I run my fingers against her soft cheeks and twirl my fingers around her locks. A never-ending feeling of satisfaction filled me up.Unlike her, I don't ruin moments like these. I continued to stare at her aesthetic features with a smile.Her eyes slowly opened as I smiled,"Morning, Love," I said and was about to kiss her but s
....And I sit under a tree thinking, have you ever wondered about me the way I wonder about you. Thinking that no one but you interrupt me from that thought and take me to reality. But in the end that never happened..... Evelyn POV:- I continued to sob at the raging fire created by my delusion that if I have to keep the harsh truth away from him, everything will be fine. If I told him before, then this would never happen. "Lawrence, please... trust me.." I said between the sobs but nothing is affecting him as he is lost in his emerald fury. “I don’t want to hear anything, Evelyn.” I continued to plead, in the end, being vexed by me he stopped the car in a corner and gave me an infuriated look which caused me to be stiff in dread. “Please…” Being tremendously terrified, I began to pant. "Speak anything else and my actions will speak louder than your words." He said so menacingly that it made my very soul shudder in fear. I never fathomed his rage would be this terrifying. I ga
… I will steal you from this world, if I must… Lawrence POV:- Being unimaginably infuriated and utterly senseless I grit my teeth in anger and rest my head on the steering wheel. If it could anyone, I wouldn’t complain even once but my own brother. And moreover Adrian knew she… loved him. That explains why he was stunned when he got married. Why did it have to be Adrian? I felt so heartbroken, I love her so much. Being overwhelmingly stressed, I don't have enough courage to go home. If I knew before, I would never marry Evelyn. I didn’t want to destroy her life over me. Just imagine if she never fell for me? What if her love for Adrian remained the same and she would only be hurt to herself be married to me? I took a deep breath and called father, "Father, take mother out for dinner tonight, it would be good for you guys." I said. "Why? Why so suddenly? I mean, I don’t mind but why out of the blue?" He asked, laughing a little. "Just... I just thought that it would be good.."
Adrian POV:-Shit, shit, shit. How could this happen? Who told him? After Brother left, I sighed in relief to find no visible bruise on my body. His rage was terrifying me, I don’t know what he did to Evelyn but his possessiveness towards what belongs to him was scary. But, at least I got saved. I expected him to at least break a bone of mine but thankfully he controlled himself. How did he come to know about it? If he found out that I even liked her back, he'd kill me. I knew telling him about my feelings would be the most dangerous choice.Maybe that's why he sent Evelyn to her home so that she won't see his anger, he knew it would horrify her.I know he is not gonna calm down that easily especially when it comes to his love life. He wouldn’t bear it.“Fuck…” Cursing under my breath, I moved back, curling my hands in a fist.I turned my head and saw Danielle standing there extremely terrified. The truck of realization hit me that Danielle knows everything. She knew everything,
....The eyes which are void of any emotions are the one which used to glimmer so passionately that it can make twilight bend to its knees before her...Lawrence POV:-The next day, at night, we were having dinner in silence but then mother complained, "You should have told us that you are taking Evelyn to her parent's home." "Sorry, Mother, She was just so sad so I sent her." I said and she nodded. Adrian didn't dare to look at me as Danielle said, "You must be missing her." I smiled and nodded. After dinner, I went to Adrian's room and glared at him. He looked down as I walked towards him."You are not going to tell anyone about what happened." I said sternly. "Yes, Brother," He said. I nodded and took a seat."Brother," He called me. I looked at him and motioned him to continue."Maybe you should talk to her, What she feels and wants." He suggested. "I will. But, not now." I said and stood up and turned to leave."Evelyn is my wife and she is mine. I will never tolerate anyone
...Let me cry and swell my eyes; in thy embrace, to drench thou in the flood of tears... Lawrence POV:- The sea of uncertainties in my chest, I want to release it and gain the feeling of divine solace once again. I want to feel her warmth again. My breath resides in her heart. My life is in chaos now that my breath is away from me. I want redemption from all this tribulation and desiring that reclamation of trust, I have decided to release both of us from unclear thoughts which can leave a deep mark of grief on our marriage. All the talks of heart which misleads me to the pits of sorrow, I have decided to leave that behind and listen to her. Craving the feeling of the deep pleasure of her touch and presence. I went to see her, to fill my hollow being with her aesthetic features and with the intentions of ending this suffering of us. I went to her home and took a deep breath and went inside. I arrived early in the morning because I had enough. I entered and saw Uncle, Aunt an
This never happened before. Congratulations, This is what love is. Evelyn POV:- I was leaning on the wall and staring at the pillar filled with red clothes but I stared at mine and smiled widely looking at it. As I was staring at it, I didn't notice that Lawrence came back from work and stood beside me. "May our marriage last forever." I heard his voice as I squeaked and turned my head and exhaled in relief, "Welcome home," I said. He hugged me and pecked my cheek. He leaned beside me and held my hand. "Sometimes the unexpected can become our salvation," I said. "Yeah... Who thought that I'll have such a blessed life." He said as I rested my head on his shoulder. "I thought this was the end of my world, who thought it was the start of my world," I said as we chuckled. "It's all because of your love." He said. "Our Love." I corrected it. "Do you remember when you were sick?" He said. I laughed a little, "Yeah.." **** I was so sick, this time, Skyler was a year old. Since I
...She was like the only flower fully blooming in the garden filled with wilted flowers... Evelyn POV:- I smiled as my raven lock fell on my back. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and looked exquisite, Such bewitching looks. I smiled as I wore that red frock that Lawrence gifted me on our first wedding anniversary. I didn't wear it before because I wanted to wear it when Skyler grew big enough to wear it. I applied a red lipstick and Skyler, who look really pretty in it whined that she also want to apply makeup, "No, Sweetie, Kids don't wear makeup." I scold. She pouted as I giggled and patted her back. "You're already so beautiful, You don't need it," I said as her face lit up again. We got ready and looked in the mirror for the last time. I smiled widely as I held the pendant Lawrence gave me in my hands and let this feeling of benediction fill me up. By the way, I am elated for this special occasion. What occasion? Adrian and Danielle's wedding. Ever since they agr
...With those teary eyes, filled with hope, she looked at me and I stood still. Thinking, whether I should forgive her for the pain she caused me or I should bear the scar and leave her behind just like she did... Evelyn POV:- It's been a month and everything is pretty much normal. We all are back to normal. And here I am, trying to put my daughter to sleep. Seems like she is on some sort of sleep strike. She is not sleeping at all. It's night and she hasn't slept all day so in the night. Lawrence was looking at me as I was walking in the darkroom with my precious pearl in my arms. I continued to hum as she is constantly giggling and I am too sleepy. I continued to walk as she continued to giggle. For a second, everything calmed down and a spark of hope that she's asleep filled me but it faded away when I heard Lawrence voice, "Not sleeping, huh?" And upon hearing her father's voice Skyler jumped out of my arm and thankfully even in the dark, she didn't fall on the ground. B
The beguiling looks that made me move closer to you, that made me submerge in those eyes that glisten with the love for me. But, not anymore... Evelyn POV:- "Stop it! All of you!" We heard a voice and turned to see a girl resembling Myra standing there. She was crying and walked closer. Myra hands begin to tremble as she produces a vague sound, "Hellen..." My eyes widened in shock when I heard it. Lawrence looked at her as if he knew that she would come here. "Stop it... " She said in a low tone. I continued to look at her. "What are you saying? They-" Myra was cut off when Hellen yelled, "That was all a lie! Nothing like this happened!" By her words, Myra was taken aback so am I. Lawrence POV:- Finally, Hellen came, She just recently came back. We met a few weeks ago. and before coming here, I told her about this and to come here as well. Thank God, She came at the right time. *** I was in my office then I was told that she is here to meet me. "Hey.." Hellen smiled and en
When you are not here, my heart seeks you like crazy because a partial view of yours is enough for me to lose myself in your love... Evelyn POV:- "Evelyn!" "Evelyn!" "Evelyn!" I heard my name being called over again over again. I slowly opened my eyes and comprehended my surroundings and the sudden realization hit me about what happened. I quickly sat up as a sudden pain shot through my body but bearing it, I looked around and saw Lawrence holding me close. Tears pricked in the corner of my eyes. "Lawrence... Where's Skyler?" I asked in a panic. He remained silent. I held his shirt and asked again. "Tell me Lawence! Where's Skyler?" Tears began to fall followed by a stream of them. "Please... Lawrence. Tell me.." I put my head on his chest and continued to cry. He rubbed my back and kissed my head. Filled with dread, that was my sweet daughter. My body began to quiver in dread that might not happen to my Skyler. No, I don't want to think about these scary things. "Nothi
....I knew we were meant to collide, What I didn't know is that colliding into you will make me crumble... Evelyn POV:- We reach the Bayfords land. The property belongs to Lawrence. Since it has nothing but forest, I was perplexed by this. When there's nothing, why are we here and, to be honest, I haven't been here before. This is my first time coming to Bayford lands. "Lawrence, Where are we going?" I asked. "Somewhere alone." He replied with a smirk. "Alone!" Syler shouted in excitement. I shook my head and looked out of the window. The view was beautiful. The forests, giving a feeling of a heavenly lull I feel relaxed by this. Finally, after a painfully long ride, We reached a lone house in the woods. It was beautiful. The woodwork is admirable. I smiled when I looked at it. Lawrence got out and took Skyler out. "Papa, Race!" Syler shouted. "Let me put all the stuff inside first," Lawrence said and Skyler nodded. "Come, Skyler," I called her to come inside but she shook
..And the feelings you evoked within me can never be explained by some mere words. I am so fascinated by your charm and I have found myself getting close to you. And all the things aside and my first meeting with you aside...Adrian POV:-I can't believe that my father wants me to marry Danielle. I can't marry her. I knew that father would also force me to marry a girl of his choice just like he did with my brother but Danielle is just too far away. I never thought that I'd have to marry her. She and I can't be together. We are not meant for each other.It's midnight and I left to see Danielle talk to her about it. I knocked on the door and she opened it. Her eyes look void like she can't feel anything. I looked away and said, "Let's talk on the rooftop." She gave me a nod and we left to talk on the rooftop.Danielle leaned on the railing and I put my hand on my neck as awkwardness filled me up. "Listen, Danielle..." I trailed off and began to think about what I should say, "What do
... I have a dream. You come in my dream. I have become yours and you have become mine in it and I wish that I will never wake up from it...Evelyn POV:-"Skyler!" I called out to my one-year-old daughter who has recently learned how to walk and grew 6 teeth. We all are amazed at the fact how she is growing that fast.Since she is the only baby and the joy of the house she is near everyone's heart. I walked downstairs and saw Adrian and Lawrence playing tag with Skyler. I sighed and bent and called her, "Skyler." Upon hearing my voice she came running towards me and hugged me. I picked her up and tickled her. I kissed her forehead and took her with me to feed her. The hardest task ever."Skyler!" I called her name childishly so when she opened her mouth I could shove the spoon of vermicelli in her mouth and she did. I fed her and after washing her face which was always decorated with the food she ate, We went down.Adrian took Skyler from me and left me in the empty hall. I huffed
...I don't know when and how you become my reason to worship. I don't know when I lost control over my heartbeat. I don't know when you become a habit of mine but I know one thing, the feeling is bliss...Evelyn POV:-After the press conference, We all were having dinner and it was full of chattering as usual. We all were talking then Danielle called Lawrence. He excused himself and left. After a few moments, he came back."What was it about?" I asked. "You know, about the conference. She is squeaking like a fangirl." Lawrence replied monotonously. I let out a chuckle and continued to eat."I feel so lucky to be your wife," I whispered to him. He smirked and held my hand under the table. "Is that so?" He whispered back. I smiled and nodded.I love this feeling of ultimate pleasure I receive when he is near me.A Few Weeks Later:-Everything is back to normal and we are living our lives. I feel so fortunate to have a husband like Lawrence. He is my everything. And I am feeling extreme
