Just one moment is enough for the revelation of truths, to change the situation, and to turn the plans upside down. Till the moment Hayden barged into my house with a pack of food, I decided to let him go for his good but after everything, it became impossible for me to even think about going away from his life.Though it felt like I was taking everything away from him and started to have second thoughts, Hayden's love, and stubbornness to have me eradicated my worries. Yes, I wanted to see Hayden in a great position but I wanted his happiness the most. If I were the one to provide him with the happiness that he needed, I wouldn’t think twice to be with him.Ignoring the danger we were in and emptying our heads about the future, we both started to watch a movie. I sat in between his legs, my hands holding the popcorn box while his arm wrapped around my waist.“You are holding me as if I would run away from you.” I scoffed. He pulled me even closer, saying “I am afraid you’d leave me i
I hurried my steps toward the house as it already turned dark. I didn’t realize how much time I had spent in the park as it felt so good to play with that kid, which refreshed me.As soon as I reached the street, I saw Hayden on the road, running here and there. He was searching for me.I ran towards him, calling out his name. When he turned to me, I saw anger and worry in his eyes. For a moment, I felt so scared. I anticipated his outrage but to my surprise, he hugged me so tightly, almost suffocating me.He didn’t speak and he didn’t move. It made me realize what a stupid thing I have done.“Hayden…”“Don’t!” I heard his ragged breath. “Stay silent for a while.”I gulped. As he said, I kept silent and patted his back. Then he pulled himself away from me. Holding my hand, he dragged me to the house. Once we entered, he shouted, “Where did you go?”“I…”“Do you think it’s a kid' game? Don’t you know the danger around you? You can’t understand how tensed I was.”I bent my head down, ap
HAYDENWhat did I do to deserve such a beautiful person? The question that I always asked myself whenever I looked at her. I was not a saint, not a good guy, and a monster any girl would avoid but she gave me a chance despite my flaws. She loved me regardless of my bad side and what more could I do for her except give myself to her? All of me. I gave her everything of mine and I was happy about it.Her beauty enhanced under the moonlight and her lovely eyes, while she looked at the sky, brought me a smile. I felt sad for her when she said how she wanted to feel the fresh air. Her smiling face relieved me a little.Carrying her in my arms, I took her to her cabin on the yacht as she fell asleep outside. I stroked her cheek and kissed her forehead before walking out. When I was leaving, she held my hand, mumbling “Thank you.”I kissed her knuckles and said “Anything for you. Good night, my love.”She smiled and again shut her eyes. I walked out and kept my gaze on the water while thinki
SERENAFeeling the rays of sunlight on my cheek, I opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was a bundle of money on the table. I sat straight and took it in my hands, confused. There was a note attached to it – ‘Pay him for the cell phone. I’m leaving.’I understood the money was from Hayden but where did he go? Questioning myself, I stood straight. Hoping he would come soon, I freshened up and waited for him but he didn’t show up. It scared me. Millions of worries revolved around my head and I could not think of anything properly. Although I believed he went to his guesthouse, I could not stop getting scared. After everything that had happened, it was hard for me not to worry about us.When I kept pacing back and forth, the knock on the door relieved me but seeing Eric and Mira in front of me, my hope shattered.“Oh, My God! You are safe.” Mira threw her arms around me. “We were so worried about you.” I noticed a layer of water in her eyes. She was so scared and anxious about me.“
The flower vase in my hands fell when I heard him. My eyes filled with tears of happiness and I asked “A-are you serious?”He nodded. I gestured for him to enter inside but then the trust issues started to bother me. When I looked at him suspiciously, he said “You have grown up so well. I'm sorry I didn’t come earlier.”The person whom I wanted to meet was in front of me and it felt unbelievable. His words clarified to me that he was my person.I sat in front of him, held his hands, and said “Thank you for saving my life. I’ll be forever grateful for you.”He seemed he was taken aback by my actions and he shook his head, saying “It was our duty to protect you. I… I have to apologize for leaving you at an orphanage instead of taking you with me. Please forgive me. I only thought you’d be safe if I left you there as they were chasing after me. I thought to come for you but I was scared they’d know about you in case they find me.”I nodded. “You don’t have to explain anything. Because of
Eric and I stood straight, at once. It didn’t feel true. It felt like he mistook someone else for him.“What? What did you say?”“I’m sorry I went near to their building as I was curious about them. While I was stalking them, I saw him. He was in the car along with his father. They were talking to each other.”“You… you might have mistaken…”“No! I know his face. I saw him in pictures. Trust me, he is now with his father. He… he might have left…”“Mr. Rodney!” I shouted. “Don't finish the sentence. He didn’t leave me. He must be up to something.”I sat, holding my head. Though I was sure Hayden wouldn’t leave me, somehow the truth scared me.“Princess! I saw it with my own eyes. I risked my life not to give you false information. You may believe it or not but the truth is those people are not trusted.”I gulped. My fingers started to shiver as my fear increased. It had been days since he left me and I had no idea what Hayden was up to but I could not sit simply and wait for him. And,
Could it be the official end of my relationship? Did he leave me? Did he find me boring and annoying after everything we have gone through? Many questions revolved around my head to which I had no answers. It felt like he was doing it for a purpose but a part of me kept telling me my existence truly burdened him as he had to kneel in front of his father putting aside his pride.“You okay?” Eric put his palm on my shoulder.“Why did he do that?” I looked at Eric. “Am I the reason for his suffering? Did I make him weak?”Eric sat beside me, shaking his head. He held my hand in a tighter grip to console me but I was not crying. It felt like my tears drained.“He doesn’t deserve you. Those people are not trusted.” Rodney spoke. I kept quiet. After hearing Hayden's words, I lost my sense to think properly. It was all void in and out of me.“Can you both give me some space? I want to be alone for a while.”They looked at each other and then fixed their gazes on me with worried faces.“Don'
ADRIAN Ever since Hayden was a kid, he was stubborn and disappointed me many times but I put him on track one way or another, however, I could not find a way to end his feelings for her. I thought it was simply a young love but they were continuously proving me wrong. I never saw Hayden forgetting his pride for anyone.If only she was not our enemy, I might have accepted her. If it was fated or we were doomed, I could not understand, he fell for our enemy whom I wanted to kill. Hayden was born to rule and because of her, he was truly becoming weak.Bringing my alcohol glass to my lips, I took a sip of it. My anger was not fading and I could not imagine the ways to punish them both. She knew the consequences of coming to my house but like a fearless kid, she showed up in front of us. After all, she was a Miller. What else to expect?Holding the cigarette between my fingers, I leaned back in my chair and rested my legs on the table, shutting my eyes. I could not feel relaxed when all o
