.....
"Great. Also, I am inviting my friend over to our home tomorrow. Will you be okay with that?"
"Yeah, I would love to meet your friends."
he finally replied to her, looking straight into her eyes, trying to read the words she couldn't say trying to find the slightest glimpse of love.
It was the first time she was inviting her friends to meet him. 'Is it because she is accepting me?'
But as always he couldn't decipher her emotions. Silence unbearable silence. For a few moments, no one spoke, and then she made another attempt.
"The Good news that I wanted to tell you is that my best friend is alive."
"Huh? What do you mean? Who is your best friend?"
"Do you Remember Mindy, two days ago when I returned home I was in an awful mood?"
"Yeah. I think you said it's because you saw someone."
"Yeah. Exactly I am talking about him

"You can never regret loving someone. You regret what they do to you." [Christian]....Morning came and Riley tried to cheer up. She lifted her head to look at the window as she heard the squeals of laughter coming from outside. It's a sunny morning. She watched as the small plants on the side of the road swayed to the mild breeze. There at the center, a few kids were playing hide n seek. Two of them laughed out loud when one was caught. Last night she waited for him to be back, but he never returned. She never thought she will miss him the way she did in his absence. In her mind, their times together played as a cassette tape that was on a rewind mode whenever she tried to fall asleep. The dark circles on her eyes reminded her of a sleepless night. She tried to cheer up to fake her emotions. 'Why do I feel like I am escaping something.''You are not just feeling it, you are doing it, Riley.'The ringing of a phone caught her attention as she leap

"Love for me is all about attachment and standing for her when she couldn't do it for herself."[Christian].....Amidst the silence, their breath mingled. First few minutes they just looked at each other without saying anything.She noticed her body rubbing against his just like how shoes rub against the floor. Despite their awkward position she looked down at him. Remembering last night he was wearing something else when he left home. However, now he was wearing a pair of denim blue jeans and a decent black t-shirt. He moved his arms which resulted in showcasing his biceps. She didn't know if it was intentional or not. But she seemed to gulp as he flexed his muscles again. 'It's pure torture. Ah.''You are lusting over him, Riley Brown.''No, I am not.''Yes, you are.''I bet you want to feel those muscles of him.'His hot body made her gulp again as she tried to move only to find his t-shirt rode up to his upper abdomen.

"The unplanned questions sometimes give us hope. While soothing our soul at the same time." [Chrisitian].....'Isn't our marriage just a deal for her? Then why is she so interested in where I go?'Realizing her question was a little abrupt, Riley tried to tone down her voice and question."I mean, I was really worried about you Mindy. Why did you leave without informing me?""My boss called me last night, it was urgent and I forgot to tell you. I hope you won't mind?"'Why wouldn't I? You left me alone here.' She wanted to shout at him with the same words. But she knew it will further lead to another argument. And since it was because of work and not her. She was a little grateful. Because she did not want to hurt him. Although she wasn't exactly satisfied She couldn't possibly say anything harsh words to him. 'It's not like you are his real wife.''As if I didn't know that. Thank you, my dear head for informing me.''Glad.'

"The thought of her childhood sweetheart not loving her kept me shamefully happy." [Christian]....After hanging up, Riley forgot about her confused feelings for Mindy. Instead, she made a list of grocery items containing Stuart's favorite dishes items. After changing clothes, she left home for the supermarket. She needed to make sure of three things. For starters, she thought of preparing Gnocchi, with mildly sweet butternut squash, crunchy hazelnuts, maitake mushrooms, and pickled chilies. And bagels.For the main course, she had decided upon a Shawarma platter with hot red sauce dressing. Since he was always a spicy food lover.And Ropa Vieja and plantains, for which she needed to have beef, chilies, and peppers. It was a dish Stuart's late grandmother had loved and made her learn. She could still recall how she used to explain its meaning to her every time Riley went to their home to dine."Come here Riley, I will tell you what Ropa Vieja and plant

"Love creates jealousy. And the weight of jealousy adds extra desire. Desire to have her in every way."....He reached a door where a beautiful hand-painted nameplate stood intact under the shade, which read "Mindy and Riley's home." And he traced those written letters for he knew it was her handwriting. There was a small beautiful red heart painted between their name. Which pierced his heart. It increased his feeling of insecurity for the man he hasn't met.The name that might have been with his name. The name that might have been on his house nameplate. But destiny chose otherwise. For a second he wished he could go in the past just to see how she would have reacted if he had proposed to her for marriage.Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves he pressed the doorbell waiting for someone to open the door.As the door opened, A man of 6 feet 2 inches Brown hair falling over brown eyes in

"Remember the finest love comes from the most painful experiences. And it will make you grateful for the wait." [Christian]....After meeting her husband, Stuart realized one thing. Which he was sure of. He can't be an underprivileged man. No miserable man can match his stare. The way he did. Not even for a moment, he had tried to evade eye contact with him. Which was strange evaluating his reality. Even if someone did, they wouldn't be as confident as he was. 'The energy that is radiating off from his persona is too extraordinary to be a beggar. 'Who are you Mendicant? Why do I feel I saw you somewhere? Where did I saw you?'"Stuty pooh."'No response.'Riley placed the glass of water on the table, hurriedly, and nudged him. "Hey, Georgie where are you lost? I have been calling you for the last 5 minutes."Smiling sheepishly he rubbed his neck, "I was thinking about some important things."

"Most people who forget you in front of their loved ones can not defend themselves with words irrespective of their actions. And they shouldn't too." [Christian].....Seeing the frustration in his eyes, Christian was satisfied with himself. 'Serves you right. To think you can compete with me.'Stuart wanted to shake some sense into her. What the fuck did she do?' He watched as her husband held a glass of water. Drinking in small sips. As if he was trying to hide his smirk. He felt he was making fun of the words he said earlier. Stuart calmed down. For he knew if what the man had said was true. He will have to talk to him with the utmost respect. Because he won't get anything by dishonoring him. "Oh. Call me Stuart Buddy. You are being too polite."Christian noticed his change of tone. And he was proud to change his rude behavior without doing anything rash"Okay, S

"Love scares you like melted chocolate. Which can melt if you didn't pay attention to it. If you left it without care. Yet it tastes as sweet as it when you are filled with it. Releasing happy hormones."......After that, they ate in silence. Nobody spoke. And Christian finally managed to calm himself down.Riley looked at him from sideways. He ate quietly with one hand while the other one was placed on his thigh. Without any expression. Just the voice of cutlery rang in the silence.Despite her inability to comprehend his expressionless face, she knew he was hurt. If not hurt then at least insulted. She shook off the weird feeling and resumed eating.Steadily Stuart looked up at them. His eyes narrowing at their behavior. He could understand the struggler's emotions but why Riley was sad? It made no sense to him. Why? Why Riley Brown? I'll deal with whatever it is between you and him later. For now, let me just e

Christian's eyes widened in shock, his cut cheek throbbing with every heartbeat. The gash in his thigh, a souvenir from Andy's goons' earlier attack, stung as he spoke."Andy, how could you?" Christian's voice reverberated off the concrete walls.Andy's laughter sent chills down Christian's spine, amplified by the eerie silence."You never suspected, did you?" Andy's words dripped with malice.Christian's torn shirt hung in tatters, revealing bruises and scrapes. A glass shard protruded from his thigh, blood pooling around it.The only light came from a flickering overhead bulb, casting ominous shadows on the walls. Cobwebs clung to the steel beams, and dusty crates lined the perimeter. The air reeked of decay and neglect.Christian struggled to comprehend. "We were friends, brothers. Why?"Andy's expression twisted, his eyes gleaming with malevolence. "Because your Father destroyed my father. Because I hate you. I hate you to the core. I created the perfect lie, Christian.

Lovesick Beggar Who is the boss?
"The best decision to cater life is to accept whatever is happening. And move forward."[Christian]'I have most of the times preferred to decide emotionally, but most of the time it has backfired on me. So this time I will use my brain.' Christian thought inwardly, his hands were shaking. He took a deep breath to calm himself, and observed his surroundings. The place he was called to, looked like an abandoned building, on the outskirts of the city. There doesn't seem to be a single soul in the vicinity. "I am here." he yelled, and his words echoed in the area. Just when he thought there was no presence there. Around ten men surrounded him coming from all sides. One of them punched him in the jaw and he fell down on the ground with a groan. His eyes blackened for a few minutes before he could stand up, he was kicked by another guy in the gut. They hit him until he bled. Christian's shirt was torn, his cheek and head had a severe cut which was bleeding up to his eyes.Perhaps seeing h
Lovesick Beggar Traitor
Life is beautiful, live with people you love, who love you."[Riley Brown]Riley had never felt the kind of dread she was feeling in the darkness. Her body was shaking but even then she couldn't scream. When she woke up she found her arms and legs bound to a chair with a gag in her mouth. Other than that, she was unable to see anything. Wherever she was, it was too dark to even comprehend the surroundings of the room. Suddenly, the door opened with a creak, and light coming from outside blinded her for a few minutes. With that, it must have been more than 12 hours since she was kidnapped. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears as she wondered who the person would be. She quickly takes in her surroundings. The wall facing her chair was musty old and the paint was coming off. Dark-colored boxes were scattered on the floor. There were some posters on the wall, but she didn't linger on them. Instead, her gaze landed on the man who was now standing in front of her. She noticed he was wearing a

"Embrace your fear and be honest with people you want to live forever." [Christian Evercast]"Hie." This time Christian doesn't pretend to not see her. Instead, he walks toward her and forwards her hand for a handshake. Riley is not entirely aware of what exactly happened, stay still. She doesn't take his hand, so he takes it back awkwardly."I am not going back Christian," Riley says, pinching her arm in annoyance."So your trip here is pointless."Each time she had to remind herself of the fact that his pitiful appearance was just a sparse way to fool her. Like he did all the time."Please don't run away from me, Riley. I am not here to take you back. Not unless you go with me willingly." He says. His eyes were hollow."Yeah, like always. Willingness. Oh, you mean the conspiring ways that will force me to go with you willingly." Riley says sarcastically. Her face was like a dark cloud and her courage was like a queen's, but her tone was still normal, perhaps to not attract attention
Lovesick Beggar Baby, Christian In the restaurant!
"It's not the goodbyes that hurt,It's the love remaining in you that hurts!"[Christian]*******Riley felt Her chest heavy with a feeling of stress and confusion. She changed into her normal clothes and asked for leave from the manager present. The manager argued with her, but her friend Roma immediately came to her aid. She didn't ask Riley why she wanted to leave in such a hurry, she just offered to work in her place. The manager readily agreed and Riley walked outside.When Riley finally left the restaurant, she could’ve sworn Christian looked right at her - he was observing her, without saying anything at all, and even though she had supposed he would come running behind her he didn't. In some ways, she found it odd. It was hard to believe that he would let her be.She steps onto her balcony and the eerie silence gnaws its teeth in Riley's cheekbones. The smell of someone frying noodles is so faint in the air, that she wonders if someone is cooking near her.Her hand fiddles with
Lovesick Beggar Found her!
"I never saw anyone as I saw you,Even if the flowers dried up " [Christian]*******"Goodbye," Riley said, and the single word spilled out of her like pouring waterfalls after drought, like spools of ribbon unraveled after years of being held taut;"I want to be happy." Her voice echoed back to her into the dry, dim land, and as her breathing slowed she could feel the world slow with it. She squinted blind eyes and shifted tired feet, to move towards the chopper her fingers felt the invisible strings of the wedding ring that tethered her to Christian's world, she removed it and felt as if it disappeared into the darkness, she hoped that this decision would lead to something better:Stupid and silly. Christian murmurs to himself as he looks around her office. He came to her office the minute his staff told him. Riley had left for her office early in the morning. His head was still pounding with the hangover since he didn't even eat anything for breakfast, which also made his reactions
Lovesick Beggar Left Christian
"Loving someone is hard. But making them believe in your love is the hardest." [Christian]*******When Riley left her cabin, to leave for home. She noticed the office was buzzing with excitement. She lifted her feet to look and found people crowding the gate. That's when she heard one of her colleagues say, "Dude that guy is so handsome, how lucky must be the woman he is here for. Ah and with such beautiful flowers. Ah, I am melting!"Riley walked fast towards the gate immediately. For some reason, she had a hunch. And it proved to be true. Making her way, in between people she walked towards him."Christian what are you doing here?" She questioned, awkwardly."Oh, I am here for you honey, to take you home of course." He said so naturally that for a moment Riley didn't respond."Ah, and these are for you." He said as he handed her the flowers she liked."Why are you giving this to me?" She was confused by his sudden behavior."Well, I wanted to make you happy so I brought these.""Se

"If you are upset with me, talk to me.Don't separate me from yourself. Why are you watching me from afar alone, it's better if you fight with me." [Christian]Riley came out of her room late. It was almost 10 am and she assumed Christian by now would have left for his office. She didn't want to meet him. Neither did she want him to spot any difference in her face even though she had covered her face with thick makeup to reduce the puffiness of her eyes. As she descended the stairs and walked toward the kitchen she found A man cooking something. When his whole back came into view, she knew who the man was, it was her husband.Christian turned around and smiled at her. "Look Honey, I learned to make your favorite Chinese food yesterday. Come and taste. I think I made it better than those restaurants you love." Riley stood motionless looking at him, like looking at a stranger. Even then she seemed beautiful to him, so seductive, so different from normal people, that he could not compre

"Hope courses through our veins, only for us to live." [Christian]Riley swallowed hard and looked at the man sitting opposite her."So, That Bastard has tricked you into his games once again!" Stuart banged the table in anger."Yes." Riley sighed softly and slumped down on the chair. After Riley left his office building she found Stuart calling her to inform her he was back in the town. Not knowing where to go she invited him to a nearby restaurant. As the great friend that he was! He immediately agreed to meet her. So here they were, sitting in the restaurants nearest to Christian's office. she just explained the whole ordeal to Stuart who now had brought the attention of others to themselves by his abrupt action."Stuart, we are in a public place," Riley said as she threw an apologetic look at other customers."Sorry." He said as he ruffled his back hair. A habit he had when he was awkward."It's okay," Riley responded, taking a sip of coffee and placing it back on the table."How
