2024-10-29 19:42:56~ Zara Todd's POV~
My eyes turn towards the direction when I see Asher instead of Xavier. How can I forget that Asher had promised me that he will be attending the dinner tonight?
"Hey dad! Ma," he walks to the dinner table and hugs both of them one by one and he approaches to me for the same.
"Hey! Zara," he leans and hugs me and the bruises kind of hurt when he does that.
"Hi," I say before he hugs me so that I can avoid him from hugging me but he does it even after that. I don't think I can ever avoid him.
I look at the watch when he sits beside me and I feel kind of weird sitting beside him.
It's already past eight and I don't think he is eligible to stay in the dining hall after this. My face turns to Xavier's mom when I look at the watch but she doesn't seem to be affected by it.
What the hell is that? Was that rule just for me?
Then I turn my face towards him.
"You're looking beautiful lady," he says and mother su

~Zara Todd's POV~What does he mean by 'for you'?"I don't get you. Did you say for me, is it?" I ask him one more time to assure him. My fingers are clutching the hem of my clothes while my eyes are fixed on him who is playing with my notebook."You're right. It's for you. I thought you were almost deaf. I feel quite friendly with you and I don't want some monster to ruin your life like hell. So, in order to protect you I am going to be your bodyguard in your section," he says as he stands up and bows down.What the hell is that?I feel something weird inside me. Something suddenly feels warm inside me with just his words.He is doing that for me? Why do I feel so much touched and quite emotional when he says that?"You believed that, don't you?" he breaks out into huge laugh as he places the notebook down on the table and walks towards me and flips my hair with one of his hands and plops down in the bed."That's my bed,

~Zara Todd's POV~The car drives us to the old building of the city in which it is written Library of Woods.I don't quite understand the name but I love the way it is written in the bold and large letters."You have never been here, right?" he asks me. I simply nod my head."Don't worry. I will help you all the locations. If you have any problem, you can just run to me. I will help you with everything," he smiles as he says that and grabs my hand and leads me inside.I really can't depict what's going on his heart. Xavier's heart is clear towards me. He doesn't like me appearing the the sights of his. He isn't find of me and I can see that clearly in his eyes but of Asher?His habits are quite hard to read. I can't just portray what he means to say all the time and what his actions illustrates."You see this library is really huge and you can find any book and every book over here. I know school's library is huge but the main p

~Zara Todd's POV~God damn! I know this isn't Asher's writing. He actually wasn't with me, then who the help was it?Suddenly I started getting weird vibes around me. Is there really a ghost around me? Why do I feel like I am being hunted and watched over?I quickly rush to the bed and cover myself with thick duvet. The night is actually chilly and as silent as the dead graveyard. So, whole night my heart thumps like hell in fear and I cant even get out of my bed in any way.I don't know when did I even get asleep. When I wake in the morning, it is already half past six.God damn! I need to have breakfast soon as I have to be in school by eight am.I quickly rush towards the bathroom for my daily morning rituals."Should I bath or not?" I keep on thinking about it. I took a bath last day, so I don't want to hurt my skin one more time and also, I don't want to be late for the classes.I just look at the bathroom stuf

~Zara Todd's POV~ "Y...o...u," I can't help but panic seeing him right behind me. "What are you doing over here?" I say more like a whisper and he deadpans me with his green orbs. Without speaking anything, he walks towards the mirror and adjusts his bow tie in his neck. "Why the hell are you dressed like that? It's a groom's dress," I say as I manage to walk to him with such a heavy flares of the gown. Asher really is a crazy guy. I mean why would he dare to do something so weird and strange in front of the whole world. "I was just trying. I'm sure that monster wouldn't look as gorgeous and as handsome as me you see. He lags behind in beauty and charms in front of me," he says as he stands in front of me with a tuxedo. Honestly, I had not expected that he would look completely different in tuxedo. I mean it changed his whole look making him look more matured, decent and quite wise. I can't stop but gaze at his beautifu

~Zara Todd's POV~I don't dare to lie in front of her. My hands automatically tremble in front of her and she increases her voice automatically when she asks and that makes me even more worse."So, it is true, isn't it? He fight with somebody, didn't he?" she asks me one more time and I flinch when her voice hits on the skin of my ear."Yeah but he isn't the one responsible for this. I mean they wanted to kill me and he saved me from them," I say and she suddenly turns her head to me and her face seems to be quite relaxed than before. "He saved you?" she asks. I just nod my head and she looks as shocked as I was when he came back to save me."I have never seen Xavier saving someone. It's been so long that he has ever cared about anyone. I know it's weird to say but you are great choice and I don't regret for having you as his wife," she says like she is so much glad on her decision.But she is wrong. Ri

~Zara Todd's POV~It's been another day and I don't see Xavier in the school today as well. We're getting married tomorrow but there isn't even a rehearsal of our wedding together.Maybe that is never a wedding as well. We don't want both of us, then why would it be wedding after all?I don't know but why the hell am I do much concerned about the wedding? I do I feel like it should be at least special and should be at least memorable for a lifetime but that's for a good couple to go not for a strangers who hate each other.It's almost six O'clock in the evening and someone knocks in the door."Come in!" I say and Mrs. Jones walks in through the room."Young lady, we have your wedding gown brought in. Would you like to try it for a bit?" she asks me."Should I?" I ask."Yes, you must. So that there won't be any problem tomorrow at the event and we can think of solutions in time," she says with her smile which s

~Zara Todd's POV~"Oh! It's you. I thought it was someone else," I breathe out in relief and try to look back at him but he holds my shoulder with both his hands firmly."Don't look back. Just look front and don't turn your head to me," he says as he presses his hands like he is actually torturing me with his touch.Then he just turns me without letting me to see his face towards the same way, I came from."Now, return back and don't come over here. Trust me if you look back or if you turn back you will realise that I am the worst person in the whole world. I think you don't want to experience that, do you?" he says.My eyes flutter and I feel quite weird. Honestly, I am not even scared of him much as people say about him and that might be because I had been together with him all the long but still there are some fear in me when he comes closer to me."Walk back," he orders one more time but I don't feel like taking a step before askin

She said I killed my parents,” I want to stand up and walk to him but I don’t get to stand up from there. My knees feel so much weak right now. I don’t have any energy to cope up with anything right now.I feel like the whole world around me has become dull and even the air isn’t moving around me. I feel both the hot sensation of burning on my skin while the inner part of my body shivers with the pain.“That’s not truth. I am sure she is telling a lie. She is such a liar.

~Zara Todd’s POV~‘You don’t deserve to hold that picture.’That sentence triggers Xavier all of a sudden. He looks at her with a mad eyes and then looks back at me and I know what he is going to do the next.“No! No! Don’t do that,” I run to him and quickly grab the picture from his hands and take it away from him.“Zara!” he calls my name with a soft voice as he sees me holding that picture against my chest and tearing out loud.“What the hell are you doing Zara? What’s going on? Who is this man?” he asks.I know he has the same curiosity that I had some moments ago. We young people are so much out of patience. We want everything to be quick and just to be at the time in which we feel okay with.We don’t like when people try to keep us in dark. We have lots of secrets with us. We can hold a lot of secrets tha

~Zara Todd’s POV~ “You lied to me. Why did you lie to me?” I ask this question in front of Jennifer without even being afraid. Why would I be afraid?She tried to trick me with her such an unbelievable game which is so much nasty and unfair. Why the hell did she do that for god’s sake.“I didn’t lie. That’s the truth,” she says.“Oh! Please! Would you please stop being fake? I have asked Xavier about all of this and he knows nothing about Jack and the relationship was never fake for him,” I say.“And you believed?” she raise her brows.“Yes. Why wouldn’t I? He is my husband and he wouldn’t lie to me. I have heard every bits of truth from his own lips. Why would I believe in you instead of believing in my husband who loves me so much,” I say.“You’ve gained the courage.

I know everything and I ... I saw him in the hospital. Hurt, with so many injuries and so much bandages in all his body. How can you do that? How can you just do that Xavier?” I grab his clothes on his chest as I lean my head on his chest and cry so much on his chest.“I don’t get that. I just don’t get the things that you are telling right now. Just fucking tell me what the hell are you talking about?” he shouts as he grabs me away from his body and fixes his eyes on my face but I just cannot face his eyes.

This party feels more than just a high school farewell.I can see all the students who has been so much studious and quiet in last few months are all different today.Beautiful dress, amazing bodies, that huge smile on their face for coming out of that locked prison like study compartments, is making them so much happy.They look different. And when I look around I don't see any teacher over there. Seems like this party is just for us. Just for students."Let's get inside," Xavier says as he holds my hands but I just don't feel that warmth from his hands. Is it because now, I know about all his truths which he has been hiding from me? Or is it because I see him differently now?I just nod my head and we walked in. Asher follows us from behind.

I don’t want to believe the single thing that she has told me. Who would want to believe all those things?No girl in the world would love to hear and believe the things that she told me some time ago. I hurriedly walk towards Jack’s room and open the door. And …He indeed is lying on the bed. He has the bandage on his head and there are bruises in his face. His right leg is bandaged and hung on the air as well.“Jack,” I close my mouth with my palms.
