"Sometimes it's not about what you are going through. It's about who steps into your life to help you at the exact timing. Though sometimes attraction creates connections but the best connection transcends actions. It doesn't matter how many people left you to cry, what matters are the ones who gifted you their presence in your darkest night."[Christian]
His mind was a mess. Putting all the pressure on his hand he held her hand tightly as the goons started surrounding them.
The whole matter of his kidnapping had turned out more messed up than he could ever imagine. Those men were after him, dead set to kill him in the worst way possible.
If there was anything that those men were capable of doing. It was probably torturing people and he was the live example of enduring it. They were ruthless and used dirty tricks. And right now they were ordered to kill him.
Seeing the girl prot
"There is only one life, but in that one life, we have to withstand so many storms that they might devastate us. But in each storm, you will find an opportunity to become strong." [Author]"Darkness is the only way to understand the worth of light. And that was what Christian gets to know in the moment of desperation and pain that nobody else could love him more than she could. But the most important thing you should know about him was he would never let her go. At any cost."[Christian]...........That was all he remembers of the day. When he woke up again it was after a month of the kidnapping in a hospital. His body was attached to various wires and burnt. His sister, Emma sitting near the couch of his bed in a VIP room of the hospital. She was teary-eyed when she saw him regaining consciousness. Why wouldn't she, her only family was lying on a deathbed? She did not know how to express her
"Sometimes the weight you need to lose isn't on your body."[Riley Brown]Feeling tired, Riley closed her eyes as she rested her pounding head on the table of the office. Gently she rubbed circles over her temple to ease the headache, but it seemed to be a futile attempt. It was a long day and a very long meeting that had turned out to be a bad one as a consequence of which messed up her mind.She felt like a thousand knots on her shoulders and everything in her body ached.A painful sigh escaped from her lips as she thought about her life. More than three months had passed since their fake marriage. 'How she wished she could keep living like that.' she was happy staying with him yet it was wrong of her to keep him to herself. But asking for a divorce might even shatter the little relationship they had. A man who had saved her how could she possibly ask him for a divorceSomehow the thought of him risking his life just for
"Her tears were his undoing." [Christian Evercast]When she returned home. the lights were on and there was a voice of cooker from the kitchen. It seemed Mindy was cooking in the kitchen. Though It smelled warm and cozy. But she wasn't really in the mood to appreciate it.So She made her way towards the bedroom and instead of feeling delighted to be back, she felt dread. Inhaling deeply she walked through the bathroom to change her clothes.Christian noticed she was back, yet she didn't even greet him. It was odd though but he let it slide. 'it must be because of tiredness.'Twenty minutes later, she emerged out of the room and was greeted by Christian."Good evening Honey. Come. Food is ready. Let's have dinner."She didn't even have the mood to reply to him. So she just nodded and sat down on a chair.Only The scrapping of the chair on the ground could be heard other than that she made no noise. Aft
"If you love someone and they disappear without a trace from your life just like a spirit. What do you do? What do you think Riley Brown should do? You can share your thoughts on it in the comment section. I would love to read from you." [Author]....His thoughts were interrupted when he heard her yawning. So he looked over to see her rubbing her eyes with her hands. It was cute.People don't always need advice. Sometimes all they need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen and a heart to understand them.Understanding she needed a little space for herself he decided to let her sleep. Kissing her forehead he bid her good night."Sleep, tight Honey."Coming out of the room he sat on the sofa and poured hi
"Sometimes we are so enamored by the feelings of past created by 'what if it was just same as the past' that we convince ourselves it is better than what we have in the present."[Riley Brown]Riley took in a deep breath, letting fresh air seep through her skin and pass through her nostrils. A sigh escaped her lips as she closed her eyes tightly trying to get rid of the image of him from her mind.'What the actual hell happened? Why was he sleeping with her? Why did she allow him to kiss? Or why did she enjoyed it?'The questions rang in her mind, like a broken tape recorder. The heat she felt after the kiss made her insides melt. Butterflies in her stomach appeared as she gazed at him. She was burning with a passion she wasn't aware of ever feeling. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. And spoke."Last night. I. We? What happened?"While he stood the

It was a masquerade party much to her surprise. The one she always wanted to do. So because of it, she got up early to make breakfast for Christian. She had prepared Pancakes and Shahi tukda for him a new dish that she discovered from Tina.After preparing everything and placing it on the table. She tidied herself up and moved towards their bedroom to wake him up.Remembering how Last night She had allowed him to sleep on the same bed. Only on one condition. That they will be separated with the line of cushions. It was a ridiculous and childish idea considering if he wanted he could do anything to her. But three months living with him had made her realize, he was a gentleman in beggar's clothes.Never even once, he had tried to do something
"Rare women give the rarest kind of happiness and the rarest kind of pleasure. And when a rare woman falls in love with you, you will always be on cloud nine." [Christian Evercast]It was a local mall, not for rich people. But for middle classes ones.The first thing they did was to move towards the men section. Where Mindy, asked her to pick whatever she liked for him."Honey. I want you to choose t-shirts for me.""But. I don't know your size.""Ah. Don't worry about that. I will help you with it."Because of his words, Riley was speechless. She could have predicted his size but she didn't want him to give false hopes. Anyway clearly, he wasn't getting the hint. Not wanting to refuse him she nodded her head.She chose some cheap t-shirts in bright colors and patterns of them, looked like, they were for young boys printed with certain cartoon characters. But Mindy never once questions h
