"How can you ask me to be calm when my luggage is missing" shouted a girl gathering the crowd at the airport after the plane landed in Mauritius. " Mam please calm down we are working on it. We are making regular announcements. Have patience. " The faculty tried their best to calm the ticking bomb.
"What! You are telling me to have patience when my veins are throbbing. You know who am I ? I am Eva Rose , the sister of Ro... " She stopped to contemplate wheather she should mention Rowan or not. Considering the latter she changed her plans and was about to mention about sueing the authorities when there was a soft pat on her shoulders. She turned and was stunned to see a girl with a broad grin and light freckles which camouflaged her face and added a hidden charm to her sun kissed brown locks .
" Hi I am Serene Monroe. I guess we have mistakenly exchanged bags. "
Rose came out of her lalaland and took her hand for the handshake, " Eva Rose here. Call me Eva or Rose ; your choice. " Rose giggled and surprised the crowd with her change in mood. She continued, " Nice to meet you Serene." They took the respective bags and moved out of the airport."Where are you going by the way? " Asked Serene while moving towards the Mercedes at the other side of the road . She somewhere got offended to see those bulky creatures dressed in All black with an ear piece intact. She took a sharp intake of breath and calmed herself and remembered that they wouldn't meddle in her business.
" I am leading toward Oberoi Beach Resort and th-" before she could complete Serene yelled ," Wow! Guess we are going to have fun in this vacation . Even I am going there . So let's go together in my car ."
Rose was happy to encounter someone of her type- Joyful, Lively and Enthusiastic. It was like the timid and ferocious Serene was left in Italy. "Yeah sure". Her phone started ringing so she excused herself and went to answer the call , till the time Serene asked the guards to keep the bags in the car.
ON THE CALL
Rowan : Where are you Rose?
Rose: I have reached and am heading towards the hotel. You know Row I just met a friend in the airport. Actually our bags got exchanged and then we discovered that we are going to the same Destination so I'll be traveling with her.
Rowan: Are you insane? You are traveling with someone whom you just met. This world is not a garden Eva where you walk on roses ,try to see the thorns that are hidden beneath them. What if she kidnaps you or takes you somewhere or -"
Rose: Relax Row. Take a deep breath." He did the same." Now listen her name is Serene Monroe and she's here on a vacation and we are heading towards Oberoi Beach Resort and she seems nice. Moreover you'll be busy in the preparation of the show case so what would I do? I will turn on my GPS so you keep tracking my location. Is it okay Mr. Rowan Chaze?
Rowan knew he couldn't win an conversation against her; atleast not this one . So he sighed and agreed.
Rowan: Okay then , keep informing me about your whereabouts. And call me when you reach the resort. I am at the arena so we'll catch up at dinner. Please Eva take care. And I love you.
Rose knew he was pretty serious because he took her full name. She smiled at the thought of her silly yet protective brother.
Rose : Okay emotional fool. I'll be safe and I love you too.He cut the call and she whispered," I hope you get your happiness back Rowan . I wish I can see you smile again wholeheartedly.
She turned and returned to Serene who just informed Benjamin regarding her safe arrival.
" Hey you're back, let's go."Both the girls went together laughing and talking crazily unaware of what destiny was about to unfold go them .

When she.... Turned and kissed his jaw followed by the throbbing vein of his throat. She licked his earlobe and then took him in a warm hug. In her own dream Land she murmured, " Hmmm. You smell so good . You are so warm . Why don't you become my teddy bear?" She tightened the hug. Shock would be an understatement, Rowan was paralyzed. Her breath led his heartbeat to run a marathon. His reins got loosened up when she licked his earlobe . The heat of her tongue slashed the coldness of the night . But he was stuck on the fact that someone was seeking warmth from him? He just couldn't believe it in his best dreams or worst nightmares. An unknown smile grazed his features and on his accord , he rounded his hands around her and r

The ecstatic sunrays tickled the pale blue curtains of the room and warmly embraced Serene who started stirring. She was about to wake up when her phone started ringing. She lazily took it from the night stand and answered," Hello" she said while holding her pounding head. " Miss Serene , it's Mrs. Williams here. We had planned to visit the orphanage after 2 days of stay here . I know it was a small fun occasion but we have got a call that an Auction is going to be held as a fund raiser.

What are you doing here?" She asked trying to calm her breaths. "Your dress is so pretty Ser. Are you going somewhere? I thought we'll go together! " Eva concluded." Where do you plan to go? "Serene asked." Oh my br-, I mean my friend had an exhibition here, so he wanted me to come. And I wanted you to come. " Eva said almost blurting out her secret.

The girl in maroon dress and the bun thrashed her hands everywhere in order to catch hold of anything that could save her. The hand that muffled her was big enough to almost cover her face. Tears sprawled in her eyes in ardent desperation to free herself.The man dragged her towards the car as she struggled to get out of the clutches of the brutal being. The scent of the chloroform forced her to give up and she did. Throwing her on the car seat the door was shut and the car sped away.

L'ARC PARIS The atmosphere of the nightclub was wrapped in muck sweat due to the grinding bodies and whiffs of cigarettes and weed. The ill-lit bouncy lights made the place exciting for youngsters and a harbor for illegal affairs. The shouts and hoots did nothing to erase the molesting memories out of Benjamin's brain. The sparkling liquid swirling in his glass was a perfect illustration of the emotions he was feeling. The morning instances flashed in his brain. He had chosen to jog to empty the burden of encounters but returned with a steel boulder on his shoulders. It was ruffling and perturbing for him. He drowned himself with another set of drinks in an attempt to wash the stains of reverberating voices. He had gone berserk on Carl for driving him to her place and intruding in his personal life. But from inside, he was scared. Scared of saying or doing something that could cause her pain. He desperately wanted but couldn't. So they silently left after a t

Benjamin entered his condo, still trying to digest the hurt and humiliation he was pelted with, he had expected the accusation but the slap was definitely a bonus. Her fiery eyes encumbering her wrath made him drown in guilt. He wanted to confess the truth but he couldn't because in a life like his, Love was a treacherous lie and she deserved much more than that. He stood under the shower and a tear escaped his eye. How cruel was life to compel him for curbing his feelings? He banged on the wall muttering profanities and retired for sleep, probably in hope of meeting her in his dreams. The following morning was somber for both hearts. One was hurt and the other was blazing. " Come on Rose, what's the harm in meeting for Lunch. It's been ages since we last met." insisted Aaron, who was a great friend of Rose from College. He was an Architect and was currently on a break visiting Paris, so was convincin

SMILES ORPHANAGE Serene squinted her eyes to stop the notorious sun from tickling her. It was a vibrant day with sultry warm breeze merrily dancing. She gazed at the wall clock which struck 8 in the morning. She still had an hour for the breakfast. She lazily rolled and moved towards the washroom for a calming shower. As she winded up and toweled herself dry, she looked up and her eyes turned misty. She generally avoided looking in the mirror and whenever she did, her true self was buried under layers of concealer. None knew her true self except her brother and Mrs.Williams who were introduced to partial truth. Now, when her gaze raked at her raw form, she could see the proof of being ugly and a disgrace. There were faint red marks on her arms and her thighs decorated with whip marks. Her left breast had a large scar running down her stomach, mocking her. It was still fr

SMILES ORPHANAGE The evening was crisp yet somber. The setting sun cast a rosy hue across the evening sky casting shadows on the ground. Rowan felt his heart soaring with delight looking at the familiar walls of the Orphanage decorated with cartoon paintings. The grass had grown greener and the flowers flourished merrily. As he walked past the gates, the nostalgia filled his eyes and throat. Although he was away for a week, he still missed the warmth of this place. The memories tried to rush back but he blocked it, he was too indulged to let sadness and pain sink in. It was almost 7 in the evening and he could hear the wild chatters of delirium from the dining hall. It was dinner time as per the schedule of the orphanage. He decided to freshen up before meeting the kids. The time he opened the door, he could feel his heart rate increasing. It was stagnant, not

Till the time, Benjamin could recover from the shock, she had already left. He felt extreme fury dancing and controlling his mind and body. She had outrageously declined the protection he had offered against the pervert. For once he could understand her anger and glare, but her ignorance irked him.'Was she so piqued that she wanted to go away from his side ?' his insides churned at the thought.He inhaled and exhaled to let calmness wash over. He didn't want to create any scene that could further provoke her. Moments passed by and people went back to enjoy the party. The waiter left quietly adjusting his collar and swiping the sweat beads shoned on his face.He couldn't erase the image of them leaving together. There was an unsettling feeling in his heart that lingered every time he chose to ignore the situation. The way that pervert had gazed and smirked at her was frustrating him and he final

PARISThe land of food and fashion was surreal. The glistening tall buildings, the notorious fascinations and the tempting fashion stores could easily tingle your heart. The seduction of The City of Lights and Romance was enchantingly wrapped in the blanket of winter breeze. It was a salvation for a wanderlust soul.As Benjamin strolled out of his jet, he took a breath of composure and put on his shades. His Bugatti was readily waiting to take him to his condo. He sat inside so did Carl. It had been almost 3 years since he came to France earlier it used to be strictly for business but this time he thought of taking a small break for at least 3 days. While leaning back in his seat, he realized how robotically he was working for so many years, some lethal missions, disgusting auctions and sometimes even busting trafficking deals. He sighed because of the solitude he felt in his heart and life. The absence of Serene did no wonders

ITALY"Sir I got a call from our French business branch. The manager informed that Paris Pearls, the biggest fashion house of France are hosting their fashion week and they have invited the top businessmen from all around the world, we are one of them." Carl informed Benjamin who was checking the revenue files of their legal business." So what! Do you think I have time to attend such petty fashion shows? They invite businessmen for their own publicity and I am not a fool. My presence will profit them more than me. So return it with a NO." he sternly declared and went back to calculations while Carl nodded turning to leave.But abruptly stopped." Sir I think you should attend this." Benjamin raised his eyebrow mocking his audacity to cross-question an order." Are you asking for a death wish because even if you are not, I am about to grant you." warning wa

Joey will not talk to you." he huffed, holding the phone in his little hands, his cheeks turning red. Sister Anne was silently laughing behind him." Sorry, Jojo. I wanted to come early but I stopped to buy gifts for everyone. I was looking for the best gift for you but now you don't want si I'll leav..." Rowan expected the answer and he got it wrapped in an excited yell." No! I was joking. Come with gifts. I am not angry. I swear." Joey exclaimed hurriedly not willing to miss the pleasure of gifts. " But when will you come ?" he asked in a whisper." I'll be there by tomorrow evening Jojo. Brace yourself for the amazing delight. Inform Sister regarding my arrival. Okay !"" Yes, Chazi. I will and come fast. I love you. You are the Best !!!"

SMILES ORPHANAGE" Good Morning children! " Mrs. Williams greeted the children who had formed a circle around her group, some being enthusiastic like a bee while others calm like the sea."Good Morning miss," they shouted on the top of their lungs anticipating the motive of the arrival of strange faces. The children at Smiles Orphanage were extremely warm and welcoming. Although they were prey to a barbaric fate, they still had their innocence intact. They still believed that their parents had become stars or angels protecting them from above." I am Mia Williams and this is my group. We are here to have fun with you, little flowers. We'll dance, sing, learn and grow together hand in hand. Are you ready for this amazing talent show ?" she said loudly."Talent show? What is that ?" asked a 4 year old, energetic boy."
