My wrists got hurt when I tried to free myself from the ropes but it didn’t stop me from my trials. I wondered how everyone was doing as it had been four days since I was kidnapped. When I kept trying, Rufalo entered making an angry face. I gulped as he stood in front of me and I looked at him with wide eyes. Though I was scared, I kept pretending to be strong, and his furious face told me to not mess with him.“Your boyfriend cannot take a quick decision, can he?” He gripped my throat. “Let’s scare him a little more.” Saying it, he slapped me so hard, and my vision blurred for a moment. Again, he slapped me which made my head spin. I tasted blood in my mouth, which frightened me.He pulled my head back gripping my hair and took my picture with his cell phone. Then he left me and said, “Now, you look beautiful, sweetheart.”My head dropped and all my energy was lost. I heard him mumbling “See, he is calling. A daily dose is needed.”He spoke on phone “I told you already if you delay i
Sweat started to trickle down my brow as it was time I had to jump into action. I let out a sigh and took my cell phone to read his text – My men will be following you. One simple mistake and your girlfriend is going to be dead.“Fuck it,” I mumbled and slid the phone into my pocket. I walked to my father's room trying so hard to keep my emotions in check.“It’s time we should go. The meeting is going to happen in an hour.” I said.As soon as he heard me, he left his cigarette in his ashtray and walked out of the room along with me. We reached the car and our bodyguards followed us.As per our plan, when we took a turn, our car was replaced with a car similar to ours and the guards started to follow the wrong one. Before the driver noticed it, I took out the gun, pointed it at my father, and shouted looking at the driver “Stop the car.”“Boss?” he was perplexed.“Stop it.”When he stopped the car, I got out of it dragging my father along with me.“Hayden…”“I’m sorry,” I spoke meekly.
SERENA ‘What do you want little girl?’‘I want you. I want you, Hayden.’‘You can’t have me. You’ll be safe if I’m out of your life.’‘Don’t say that. I want you.”“I’m sorry.’‘Hayden! Hayden…'I gasped and opened my eyes. My chest heaved up and down as I struggled to take a normal breath. My eyes were blurry because of the tears that were formed and I felt a tighter hold on my palm. I looked to my left to see Hayden's worried face. He was talking to me but I could not process what he was speaking.“Hayden…” I mumbled.“You are alive. Nothing happened to you.” He said.My lips curved up with a smile while my tears rolled down my cheeks. He wiped my tears away, saying “Don’t cry. You are safe now.” I slowly nodded my head.“I'll call the doctor.” When he tried to leave, I held his hand and stopped him.“Don't leave me,” I mumbled while shaking my head frantically. “Please don’t leave me.”Even though I was in the hospital bed, I could not stop thinking about the gunshots and the peop
The blue frock fit perfectly to my curves and the little makeup that I put on made me look confident. For some reason, I stopped feeling like a plain Jane. With or without makeup, I began loving myself as I realized I was not abandoned because my looks didn’t please my family. I understood I was only being hard on myself. What’s more, I got a royal look from my mother and a man to love me and look at me like I’m the most beautiful person in the whole world.I looked at myself in the mirror after I wore the necklace Hayden gifted me. He wanted me to look grand as I decided to attend the gathering that his father mentioned. His father was right. Hayden didn’t want to leave me and go to the party. He wanted to stay with me so I decided to accompany him. I had no idea what was stored for me at the party but I didn’t want Hayden to miss any of the important meetings.“Are you sure?” Hayden asked again. I turned around to look at him. He was charming in his expensive suit like a prince.I s
In my grand wedding gown, surrounded by people I loved and hundreds of other people, I walked down the aisle. My worries and nervousness faded when I met his eyes. He was standing there, looking so handsome in his expensive black suit, and waiting for me. It all felt like a dream. From fighting with each other to fighting together against everything our relationship progressed.I stood beside him with a bright smile on my lips. He leaned towards me and whispered into my ear “You look beautiful.”Then the ceremony started. Everything was perfect. All my friends and former colleagues attended, including Emma. I was sure they were surprised to witness a wedding that was arranged by the mafia people.Hayden spoke looking at me “You came into my life to brighten up my world and it was the best thing that happened to me. I will love and protect you till death do us part. Even in our next life, I will fight against everything to be with you. No matter who you are, Serena or Aurora, a normal
SERENAThis is when the little heart starts to flutter, leaving us to stutter, and fill up with burning desires, tempting us to commit sins. This is when everything starts to go wrong. When we meet someone whom we should not. I can tell you my not-so-simple story. ___“You are awesome.” A simple compliment makes one's day. I hugged Mira, one of my colleagues, who passed the compliment. “But…” And, a simple ‘But’ ruins everything, especially when it comes from the person, who's above us. "It should have been amazing if you have used tulips instead of lilies.” I nodded my head while faking a smile. The floral décor I have done at a party was appreciated by everyone except the so-called person in charge. She never accepted or appreciated whatever we did. Being her assistant takes a lot of patience. “I should not see any mistake in tonight's party. Don't do anything without my permission. You all… be my good assistants.” She then looked at me and said “Don’t try to act like the bos
Never in my life have I thought I would be scared only by someone's voice. His aura was dominating which made me gulp. What's more, he called me a little girl when he, himself, looked the same age as mine."I am twenty-three," I yelled. "And, I could understand you also must be of the same age." I scoffed. When he tried to free his hand from my grip, I held it with both my hands, and shouted “Are you insane?” He narrowed his eyebrows, and at the same time, he clenched his jaw. “What did you say?” With all my strength, I pulled him back while he looked at me with a serious as well as confused face. “You…” I didn’t let him finish his sentence. I shouted “I know life is tough but it is not an option. I don’t know what your problem is, but if everyone, who has problems decide to die, then no one will remain on this earth.” “Listen…” he pointed his finger at me. “Life is precious. Think about your family before you commit suicide.” I tried to put some sense into his head. “Suicide?
Sometimes, the things we thought would never appear in our lives again, would come rushing toward us. A mere coincidence or if fate has already planned it, no one could tell. “Do you like staying in my arms this much?” He smirked, as I remained in the same position without even attempting to move. Immediately, I stood straight and asked “Were you following me?” He gave me a deadly stare that made me think I was not even worth being followed by anyone. “I… didn’t mean to be rude.” I scoffed. “Of course, why would anyone follow me?” “What are you doing alone here? Aren’t you aware of the crime rate or are you not scared of people, who commit crimes?” Not just his words but his eyes were commanding. Who could he be? He seemed as if he were a walking mystery. “I… I was with my friend and…” I stopped speaking. “W-wait! Why am I even explaining to you?” “Because I asked you a question.” He rolled his eyes. I stepped forward to leave but he stopped me, saying “Don’t go that way.”“W
