When everything falls apart, nothing seems to be in its place, and nowhere feels safe, running away is the only option. Running away from everything and everyone. However, not anyone can do it. Many times I felt the same. I felt like running away but there was no place, where I could go. After that day, I didn’t see him. To forget that moment, took me more days than I thought. As he didn’t show up after that, it became a little easy for me. He was like a storm. Whenever he came, he left his imprints, which were so hard to erase.“Mira and Serena! Come here. Need your help.” Emma shouted while taking orders through calls.We started to help her and continued to do everything that she ordered. Even though I was frustrated, I didn’t speak anything. It was the work that was getting me out of my worries and I needed more work to be able to live normally.“Serena! Arrange these flowers.” She shouted.When I began doing it, she stood beside me and gave me a questioning gaze. Ignoring it, I
HAYDENNothing was helping me, not even the alcohol. I trained for overtime only to get myself out of her thoughts but it didn’t help me so I reserved a bar to drown in alcohol, which didn’t work either.I tapped on the table when the alcohol in my glass was emptied. It was again refilled in a few seconds and I resumed drinking. I lost count of the peg that I was taking. I kept drinking while trying to get her face out of my thoughts.Hayden… please…Her teary face and pleading eyes when I tried to kiss her, wouldn’t leave me. Even though days passed, I couldn’t come out of it. I never wanted to hurt her but seeing her hugging Eric on the road, I lost my control. I had always been jealous of their relationship and it always scared me that she would go to him one day, and her words hurt me so much that unleashed the real monster that was inside me but I controlled myself when I realized how much she despised that moment. I saw hatred on her face, which was so hard to forget.From then,
Would he have discovered I lied about killing the girl, who was the witness? If yes, then why did he assign it to me again? Or would he have figured out her relationship with Otis and was mistaken about anything?In a second, all the thoughts hit my head that frustrated me. Furiously, I shouted looking at them “Don’t you all know the reason?”They looked at each other confused and then shook their heads. One of them stepped forward and asked “Boss! Any problem?”With his question, I realized I was being obvious with my anger and expressions. I shrugged my shoulders and said “No. I just wanted to know the details.”I walked a little away from them and called Cornell but he didn’t pick up my calls which increased my frustration. When I kept trying, one of them stood beside me and said “Any plan? As per boss Cornell, she is in this city.”“I…” I didn’t understand what to speak. Like before, I could not even lie as Cornell knew her face. “Cornell didn’t reveal the details about her means
Eric was beyond shocked and frightened after hearing everything. He was so worried about me that I had to go through hell to convince him to go home. However, it felt good to see someone worrying about me. Even though Hayden didn’t do anything to Eric, I couldn’t stop worrying about him as Eric also got to know the truth, which Hayden didn’t want to be revealed to anyone. Added to it, Hayden’s questionable behavior the previous night wouldn’t let me be in peace. There was concern on his face and his words gave me a clear idea that I was in danger but I didn’t know why or from whom.Above all, the moment, when I was solaced by his hug kept bugging my head. He was the reason for my worry and sadness but I was comforted by him. I couldn’t figure out what got into me that made me behave that way. At that time, I was overwhelmed by many emotions and I could think of it as the only reason that made me hold on to him instead of going away from him.Or the feelings for him hadn’t been comple
We cannot choose to whom we should be born.You know it better than anyone else.I couldn’t stop thinking about it. His words directly hit my heart that affected me so badly as I could relate his words to my life. He was true. No one could choose their parents or their family.For the first time, I felt I misunderstood him. To protect himself, he had to destroy whoever was trying to go against him. Despite how much I tried to convince myself, I could not conclude if I should forgive him. In addition to it, the truth about Otis was making me go crazy. Though I didn’t understand what he did to me, I got the clarification that he did something behind my back. He was not how he projected himself in front of me.When I was preparing breakfast, Eric entered. He was so worried about me that he kept texting and calling me from the moment he knew the truth.“Had breakfast?” I asked as he sat on the couch.He nodded. Then he looked at me worriedly and asked “Don’t you think we should inform th
People don’t need big things to be happy. A simple gift from their loved ones is enough to keep them cheerful throughout the day, like a handmade bracelet that kept Mira joyful all day. “He loves me so much. He is the coolest boyfriend in the world,” she said while trailing her fingers on the bracelet that was around her wrist.I smiled at her excitement. It was my tenth time listening to her, praising her boyfriend.“If we decided to break up then I would have lost this happiness.” She kissed the bracelet.“Why would you even break up? You are like two love birds, who can never stay away from each other.”I laughed as her cheeks turned red. She put her palms on her face to hide her blushing face.“Oh, you are blushing.” I teased her.“Stop it.” She released her hands and suppressed her smile. “We are like this now but many times we thought to get separated from each other.”“Really?” I raised my eyebrows. I leaned against the desk and crossed my arms over my chest, giving her my att
My lips wouldn’t stop shivering whenever I recalled our kiss. I never expected a simple kiss would take me to the edge and raise millions of emotions, which I could not name. Although the moment was magical, I felt a little awkward. I didn’t give him the chance to speak after our kiss. I simply ran away.Only after I reached my home, I realized how embarrassing it was to run away. If we had been in a sweet relationship, the level of my awkwardness might have not been the same. It was because of my mixed feelings about him and the kiss happened so suddenly.Shouldn’t I have kissed him? Did I stop hating him, if yes, from when? He killed someone, I could not do it.It was as if any other person living inside me, which was always contradicting my actions and was making me overthink everything. A part of me kept convincing myself I was doing right but I was unable to accept it easily, however, I and my other self already knew I developed strong feelings for him.I took my cell phone to te
I wished to wake up from the nightmare but it was not a dream. It was hard to believe the truth that I heard.“Enemy? What are you saying?”“She is Miller. The clan that your father and I destroyed many years back.”My forehead started to sweat despite the perfect room temperature. My limbs trembled as I slowly processed the truth. I stuttered “How can you say it? How can you be so sure?”He let out a sigh. “We decrypted Otis' cell phone and his other devices. He was having a deal with our enemies. He tried to sell her information to our enemies but we were fast enough to stop that. If our enemies get to know about her they can use her against us. What’s more, the traces of Miller's loyal servants might remain even if there’s no Miller clan anymore, and there’s a chance they all could work together if they know about her. We cannot take any risk.”“W-wait… how did Otis find it out? Even Serena doesn’t know who she is. She grew up at an orphanage.”He became silent for a few seconds an
