"One day of Desire will be left you numb the other day. Don't ever forget to take the precautions before doing the deed."[Riley Brown]
.......
Stuart woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He cursed under his breath as his head throbbed with a slight movement of his body. Rolling over the white bedsheets of his white round bed he found the phone beneath the pillow. After drinking so much wine he had staggered to his room to find Riley's picture but his staggering body didn't make it to the wall beside his bed and he was knocked unconscious. Groaning, he clicked on the answer button and yelled.
"What the fuck do you want disturbing me so early in the morning!"
The man on the other end who was Dressed in a white shirt and blue pants and sitting on his d

"Past is painful, Present is Happiness."[Riley Brown]*******Her palms immediately covered her eyes and she stopped screaming.'Gosh! I might have a nosebleed if I kept staring at his sinfully well-built body.'"Oh My God! Wear something, Mindy." Riley yelled through gritted teeth still covering her eyes.Christian turned around and looked at her shy posture. His smile widened. As he internally yelled, 'Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.'
"She thought her love life was turning around for the better, but little did she know the secrets that would turn her life upside down."[Author] ******* Riley didn't know if he was teasing her on purpose or if it was just his concern. Her face turned redder but she chose to hum. He stretched his legs and plopped down on the bed carefully so that his legs were coming to her front in the exact posture. "Last night when I was returning from Stuart's condo, I had already taken a day off." He made a face behind her, his hands clenching on the handle of the dryer as an evil light flashed through his eyes. 'I forgot about that man.' "Okay," Christian said without a trace of emotion in his voice. E
"Some Accidents happen to because of the will of God as a cure to heal your wounds." [Stuart] ...... Christian slid behind the wheel and slipped on his sunglasses. Before turning the key, he made sure he hadn't forgotten anything. There wasn't much; in addition to the contract papers and an exclusive card of the South club, he had received from Andy as a gift along with some other cards in his wallet. He glanced at his watch. It was a little after 2 and he had half an hour to reach the place. Shifting the engine into engine he backed out before heading towards the Southern part of the city. The first few miles were smooth without any traffic and he was quite ecstatic to drive too because of his good mood. The sun glinted through wispy clouds trailing over the tree line
"Having guilt for something doesn't mean you should trust anyone blindly." [Author] ........ The decorations of the room could be described as super luxurious. A black marble ground shining in the light. The soft music flowing in the atmosphere was different from the main bar. The dim lights shone on Stuart's body. The golden light covered a hazy hue on him. For a moment Christian secretly cursed the man for being that handsome. A tall man with fair glowing skin and a thick mat of black hair. His blue eyes were the most striking feature. The Man was less handsome than him, but still, with the body and eyes combined, he needed no weapon against the female race to get anyone he wanted. He was clad in a blue three-piece suit, his white shirt disheveled, three chest buttons opened.
Don't go back to things you once didn't appreciate." [Author] ******* Christian for a moment thought he was wrong to assume that Riley's Best friend would spike his drink. But the smile on his face seemed like he wasn't assuming anything wrong. If more he was just being stupid for even thinking otherwise. He would be a foolish man if he still chose to believe him. "What did you do to my drink?" He asked, clenching the sides of the table giving Stuart a vicious glare. A murderous aura surrounded him. The face and the scenery in front of him started to fade away, looking almost blurred giving him an illusion that he was seeing two Stuarts and everything was doubled. Whether it was the wine cabinet in the corner of the table or the vases. The look on Stuart's face chan
"Don't torture yourself with evilness. Because it has no escape, you will succumb to it before you will even realize what happened." [Ifveen] ******* Christian didn't want to give in, he dug his nails on his wrist to keep him awake. For a moment he noticed everybody's faces. They looked relaxed as if nothing he could do nothing. Perhaps he really couldn't. For the first time in his life, he wished he had his bodyguards with him. His eyes zoomed on the man who had plotted this, he didn't lock his eyes with Christian instead he chose to watch the dance floor from the clear wall ignoring him completely. A man stood behind Stuart respectfully, his head bowed. He seemed to be the assistant. Another man sat beside the Doctor, he was dressed in a waiter uniform. Everything was planned, he just himself jumped into the well. Christian's eyebrows clouded wh
"Learn to stay calm in your anger. It will prove to be best for you." [Ifveen] ******* Stuart closed his eyes and remembered the whole incident. In his mind, he saw Riley walking down the deserted road crying as he followed behind her. He saw that she turned her head towards him and then ran away hurriedly. The moment he catches up to her she was helping a man who seemed heavily beaten down. He was reluctant to help the man and even tried to persuade Riley but she ignored him and kept trying to help him. She ordered him to either leave her alone or call the ambulance. Because of the network issue, he had to go around the corner to make the call, but when he returned she was surrounded by goons. After that what happened was a horrible nightmare for him. He was attacked
Sometimes all you need is the feeling of loss to realize your real feelings. So feel the loss and Realize your feelings." ******* It must have been about 9 in the evening. Walking through the whitewashed corridors Riley notices some of the nurses in hurry to tend to their patients. She turned around a corner and nearly was going to collide into the wheelchair of a kid. She apologized and noticed the kid was deathly pale and bald. Despite being in a wheelchair, he gave her a sweet smile and muttered It is okay before moving on. The person behind the kid nodded at her and advised them to be careful, she must be his mother. Another sign with room numbers mentioned turning right into a white-tiled corridor. Stopping midway she realized she had walked away from the main room. She turns around and walks backward.
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
