The joy that I didn’t get in the big building, I found in a small rooftop house that had a kitchen and a single bedroom with an attached bathroom. It was the house of Eric's single aunt, who moved to another country a few days back. I looked around while missing my old house, where I used to stay.

“Don’t mind the house is so small,” Eric said.

I turned around to look at him. I held his hands and gave him a small smile while saying “Thank you so much for helping me. I don’t understand how I should repay you.”

“You don’t have to.”

I sat on the bed while pressing my palms together as I recalled how we escaped from Hayden’s guest house. It didn’t go as tough as I thought because Hayden left for some work.

I never thought I would be in a situation, where I had to leave my routine and hide from the mafia people. When I was leading a normal boring life, I used to hate it but only when I started to hide and escape from death, I realized how peaceful my boring life was.

    HAYDENSlightly, pulling my cap down to cover my face a little more, I walked to the parking area of the store with Coke cans in my hand. A few days before, I was excited to see my people and to be introduced to them but everything changed in a single night. I reached a situation where I had to hide from my people.I became a foe to my family but it didn’t sadden me. What hurt me the most was Serena’s behavior. I kept doing millions of things for her and even left my position as the leader but she was too blind to notice any of it. Her behavior was understandable as anyone would react the same but I could not simply ignore it. No one knew about my guest house so I decided to ask her to stay in it but she even refused to take my help. She was acting as if she could never be with me.As I reached the parking area, four men surrounded me with serious expressions on their faces. One of them spoke on his phone “Boss! We found him.”I let out a sigh as I heard him. Then he said “Young boss!

    His sparkling blue eyes stared into mine and his lips curved up with a smile as he held me in his arms. With his tall figure, sharp jaw, and attractive features, he looked like a model.I freed myself from his grip and tried to move away but he held me again, saying “Those guys are still there.”After hearing him, I stopped moving and rooted to the ground. He stood in front of me without fading his smile and kept looking at me, tilting his head a little.“What are you looking at?” I raised my eyebrows.He shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing. You look beautiful.”Then I realized I forgot to put my mask on after I walked out of the cafe. Ignoring his compliment, I wore my mask. When I tried to move, he stopped me again as they were still there.“Who are you? Why are you helping me?” I asked him as his behavior raised hundreds of questions in me.“I need no reason to help beautiful girls.” He winked. “You just need a little makeover to look like an angel.”I let out a sigh. “Thanks for your

    As the rays of the sun fell on my cheeks, I slowly opened my eyes, stretching my arms. My legs were aching and I felt so tired that made me want to shut my eyes again and go to sleep but I remembered what happened last night. I gulped as I looked at my naked body and Hayden beside me, sleeping peacefully. Immediately, I stood straight scared. My forehead started to sweat while I recalled how passionate we were last night. I wore my clothes cursing myself. It was not what I wanted to happen. I messed up everything. Even though I felt like taking shower, I hurried up to cover myself with robes.“You awake?” I heard him.I looked at him not knowing what to answer. He dressed up and gave a bright smile as he said, “You were beautiful last night.” He winked.“Last night…” I fisted my palm gathering the courage. “It was a mistake.”His smile vanished. He sat straight and asked, glaring at me. “What do you mean by a mistake? Don’t do this.”I shifted my gaze away from him as I felt I couldn’

    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!

    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

    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

  • Kiss and Vengeance    Confession

    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

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

    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.

    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

    The first person who came to my head after seeing Serena's picture was my father but it didn’t make sense. He would never send me a picture like that. I received an incoming call from the same number and I was quick in answering it. I didn’t let the other person speak anything and I shouted “If anything happens to her, I swear I’m going to give you a very painful death.”I heard a loud laugh on the other side. “Hayden Moore is so in love that he doesn’t even want to know who I am.” It was a male voice.“One of my shitty enemies who is trying to drag me down.” I gritted. “What do you want?”“You are mistaken. I don’t want to drag you down.”“Then what do you want?”“Hayden Moore! Let’s meet. Just remember that I want to meet only you. If you try to do something stupid, I’m going to kill her in the worst way possible.”I clenched my jaw and fisted my palm trying so hard to keep my emotions in check.“I have no intention of killing you.” He said. “So, you don’t have to worry about meetin

    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

    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'

    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,
