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,

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

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

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!"

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.

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.

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.

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.
