If you fail, then try again. And then Again. Complete your every task with sheer determination. And You will surely win.---------------------------------------------------------------
"Create a situation where failure isn't even a possibility." [Christian]That was the mantra of Christian Evercast. What he wanted, he would have it, whatever the way is!________________________________________It was evening, Her colleagues had left the office and Riley was just going to go home too. But Alas! When happened according to what she wanted?"Miss Riley we met again."Riley cursed in her head, it was a bad day.Exasperated she sighed heavily and turn around to glare at the stupid assistant of The motherfucker( yeah you got that right, PA of Christian)."What do you want?" She almost barked at his poor assistant.But then, it wasn't her fault, So she Squared her shoulders and gave her the fiercest glare she could muster to the poor assistant.However, PA didn't even flinch at her glare and said in a respectful tone, "Miss Riley, I
"Do not take decisions while you are standing at the barrel of a shotgun."[Riley Brown].Christian enjoyed the kiss thoroughly while Riley was mortified. She bit on his lips with all her strength.Letting out a muffled groan he left her. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.Riley took deep breaths to calm her heart. She was blushing. Her response to the kiss spoke volumes.'Well, he would have preferred more wetter kiss with more tongue than the one that they shared At the time. But he will let it slide this time because it was there the first kiss.' Christian thought inwardly.Glaring at him fiercely Riley cried out "You...You took my first kiss away."Hearing that Christian raised the corner of his lips and wiped the blood gracefully and said almost sounding guilty"Oh Sorry. B
"Your patience when you have her, For her; defines you."Ever since Christian came to know the meaning of parents, He had been fond of his father. Although his way of showing fondness was different. His mother, Rachel Evercast died giving birth to him. His mother had some complications in pregnancy but she wanted to keep him.For years, Rachel Evercast had prayed for a baby boy, So, when She came to know about him, she decided to suffer complications during her pregnancy in silence.When His father, Thomas came to know about it. It was too late. After welcoming Christian earlier the time, Thomas and Rachel named him "Christian."He still remembers vividly, his father's words.
"No matter what ‘home’ means to you, there is surely something nostalgic about the place we call home. It’s the place where we eat, the place with friends and family, decorations that help remind us of special memories and it’s the place we make our own. "“The magical thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”________________________________________She rubbed her eyes and looked around, the living room sure had changed since the morning.Christian's innocent and warm smile dazzled Riley and for a while, her eyes were enthralled by his beauty. Looking at him, she was struck by a familiar feeling, which was too fleeting to be noticed even by herself.A weird sound broke the fleeting silence between Christian and Riley. Her face flushed when she saw an understanding smile creeping on Christian's face."Are you laughing at me? Didn't you know that it is normal for one's
"Some lovers are fated to be together to fight." [Ifveen]'Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. And The best thing in life is to hold onto each other'__________________________________________When Christian stepped into the bedroom. He saw Riley thinking something deeply. To gain her attention, Christian cleared his throat and asked in a hoarse voice." What do you wanted to ask me, Honey?""I..."How much do you earn daily Mindy?""What?"I asked you, "How much do you earn daily?""Ah. About 10 to 100 dollars. It depends.""So
"A fit of anger is as fatal as a dose of arsenic to life."'You can not get angry unless you care about something. It is impossible to feel anger without love. Understanding this on a deeper level and developing the ability to witness this within yourself is self-awareness.'________________________________________Why is life so hard?it gave her false hopes over almost everyone. Riley tried to always do good. She always prayed that she never became a source of pain to anyone. But what was the use?When every time she was the one who was going to get hurt badly. Then again realization may be cruel but at least truth is across her eyes.But why did her heartfelt heavier to interpret it? She wanted to treat him well but he ruined it.Riley was furious, she wanted to punch him, slap him, curse him, and whatnot. At least if he truly wanted companionship, He could have talked to her. Before Forcibly Kissing her. Her first k
"Playing by the rules was never on his list."[Christian]Christian was always a man who sing you the rules and who ready you to break them according to his convenience. He was both. He was a different person to different people,Cold to unknownCompetent to businessmenLoving to his familyMysterious to a lotBut who he wasNo one truly knew.He wanted to build a home of paradise for Riley, But since he allowed her to have the power to decide. She chose to paint a distinct home. However, he will,l never allow her to leave him. That was never her power to decide. He will make sure her idea of divorcing him will be drowned.He was never a perfect man, but what he wanted was his. No matter how good he wanted to be but there will always be goals that may make him evil. Christian sighed to himself, since she decided to divorce him, he will make sure she will
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. Athanasia
"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
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
"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
"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
"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
