~Zara Todd's POV~
He locks my room's door as we enter inside and presses me against the back of the door and stares at my face.
"You must be quite sad that the person you like must see you everyday with the different man every night. The pain in your face and the anxiety in his face gives me so much of happiness," he says as he punches his hands on the door above my head and walk towards the bed.
He plops down in the bed with his shoes on and if I tell him about it, I know he is surely going to tell me that it's his house and this room is part of it. So, I should better not tell him anything.
"Don't tell me you are really going to stay over here from now on?" he opens his eyes and gets up and then looks at me in a weird way.
"Do you think I am so much interested that I would tolerate staying with you in a same room? I can't tolerate you and I can't tolerate that bastard. So, I will stay here until that bastard sleeps and I will get away from here w
~Zara Todd's POV~My eyes opens wide as he says that. Asher has randomly making jokes about me and my life lots of times that it's quite impossible for me to realise whether he is lying or whether he is just telling the truth."Ash...," I want to say something but he holds my my hands in front of Xavier and looks with those pitiful eyes."I am not lying Zara. It's the truth. If you weren't forced to marry this monster, I would have just married you," Asher says and like always he seems to be so much serious right now.Now this is getting too much. I mean he is making lots of jokes and this is quite extreme now."Don't make so much joke Asher. One day you will tell a truth and I might not believe you," I say and I jerk off his hands away from mine."I'm telling...," but before he could speak, Xavier fires on."Now, it's over. Get the fuck out of this room, now. I don't want to listen any of your nonsenses," he says.
~Zara Todd's POV~"Just wait and watch!" he says. My heart trembles with fear. What's so wrong with this man?"Stop! Please, just stop your car," I shout and hold the handle that's above me.This man is for god's sake a totally crazy person!"I am nauseating. Can you please stop the car?" I shout and he stops the car.I quickly get out of the car and start to vomit out all the little of breakfast I had in the morning."Are you mad?" I shout at him."Did you know just now?" he says as he drives his car away from me leaving me alone over there.What the hell?Why did he leave me alone over here?I don't even know where in the hell is this place?I know it's better to walk alone rather than walking with him but I don't know the way at all."You came alone. You have to go alone and you have to search your way alone. You aren't giving up, Zara. You sure can't give up. Two billion dollars
~Zara Todd's POV~I don't know what's going on in the whole class. This class looks like a Sunday mass rather than class for me now."Okay! So, what's going on?" I turn to Asher and then to Xavier."Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen to you. I will protect you always," Asher says which almost makes me blush."Why would you do that? What's wrong in here?" I ask?"Nothing you have to worry about?" he says and when I look back at Xavier I can see him glaring at me like he is going to eat me up right now.Did I do some mistake or what? Why is he glaring at me like that? I guess he sure has something against me and Asher on his head.How can someone have so much time to mess with other person's life?Arghhh...."Good Morning class," our homeroom teacher enters with a huge smile in her face.She is such a beautiful and elegant lady with quite lean body. Her voice is sweet and she teaches one of my favou
Chapter 41~Zara Todd's POV~I thought that he would speak from my side proving me wrong but he doesn't. He instead does the opposite."She has a paper which is so much important to me. Is that considered as stealing," he says.What the hell?Was it for this damn roughly scribbled paper?"I don't want your damn rough paper. Why do you consider me a thief for this damn paper?" I ball it and throw it on his face."Miss...whatever behave yourself and now get seated on your bench. How dare you steal a thing and also make such a huge noise in the class?" he scolds me.Isn't this so much wrong? I have done nothing but tried to help him and all I get is false allegations against me.This hurts. This completely hurts like a hell.I sit back on the chair but Xavier suddenly stands up."Where are you going prince?" he asks."I'm hungry after this scene and plus I don't actually like your class. The
~Zara Todd's POV~"What?" My eyes flutter with anxiety now. I should have never been too much confident for being such a huge fool.But I had never thought that be would do something like this and fool me the way he wanted to."What do you mean my kiss you?Are you mad?" I shout at him."You know me. I am king of madness. Now, do you regret on saying what you said some moments before," he grins with his thumb rubbing his temple."You!" I try to slap him but giving him a slap is just a wish for me. Or maybe I don't know what consequences slapping him could give me.But at that time, I think of nothing but just giving him a loud slap but he holds my hands in the air before it even reaches his cheek."Oh! You have an audacity to himt me, don't you?" he says as pulls me closer to him as his hand encircles my waist."What? Xavier!" I can hear that girl who tried to bully me before shout in the crowd."What? You regret it, now?
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Just sit right over here,” he says while his blue orbs shine brightly and I feel like I am hypnotized and I should sit right over there.I feel like I am almost lost in his eyes. But then I realize that his eyes aren’t that beautiful ocean that I wish to see. They are deepest secrets and tsunamis instead of the ocean.I get myself back and say,” No, I won’t. Why would I? To be bullied by you one more time,” I say.He smiles as I try to leave and he doesn’t let my hand go away from his.“What’s so wrong with you? Why are you holding my hands? You know now all of the students will be entering the auditorium. Will you please stop now? It’s not like we are that much close,” I roll my eyes.“We are husband and wife and I shared such a passionate kiss with you twice already. How close do you want us to be?” he says with that that smirk on his bot
Chapter 44~Zara Todd's POV~My eyes open wide and my face becomes numb when I see Xavier on the stage.I feel like I am lost in the whole auditorium. How can someone be so much handsome while playing piano?I have thought that he knows nothing but guess I was wrong. Xavier knows something that's just from his talent and not from the money he has.PI couldn't help but gaze at his fingers which are moving swiftly and with beautiful piano tunes.I cannot help but look how well he is seated on the stool and playing the piano. His fingers are slender and so much beautiful though there are number of bandages in it. His ruffled hair which keeps on coming in front in his forehead and he keeps on leaning his head back to adjust it looks so much natural and beautiful.I become completely flat when he closes his eyes while playing with the tunes feels it and then open his eyes and looks at the music notes tha
~Zara Todd’s POV~“Zara!” the door flings open and Asher stands in front of the door. I get myself away from Xavier when I see Asher standing over there.“What are you guys doing? What’s going on over here?” he asks.I don’t know but he’s voice is quite rude and quite aggressive like he is angry with me for this.“It’s nothing. We were just trying to …,” I am saying but Asher stops me in the middle.“We were just trying to what?” he snarls.“We are just trying to solve our own problems. That has nothing to do with you,” I say. I don’t know why is he being so nosy or why am I being so much irritated for being asked like that?“Solve your problems! I was fucking scared that this monster could have done something to you and you guys were trying to solve your problems,” he feels agitated and walks away from there in an angry
Epilogue~Zara Todd's POV~I walk down the graveyard. The day, I have been fearing all this time has finally come up. I never wanted Melanie to leave my side.But what was supposed to happen will always happen. Sometimes we can't just take control of our lives. It just goes on the way we never want it to be.We all stand in front of her grave, all of the friends of our class. She has been such an amazing friend to everyone.The whole class mourns in front of her coffin and you won't believe who is mourning the most right now.Yes, it's Nathan. I can see how much hard it is for him. He has been in love with her in last one month. I never thought that the last wish of Melanie could ever be fulfilled. I thought it was im
~Zara Todd's POV~"What?" Xavier freezes at that same point."You liar! You must be lying," he shouts."Why would I lie at the edge of my death? I'm not a fool to joke with my own life," uncle mumbles and Xavier leaves his hands away from him.He becomes hopeless all of a sudden. He surely hated his mother. She never loved him. She never even cared for him.But how much we hate our parents, how much they don't care about us, it's certain that we won't love to hear any bad things to our parents.I don't know what is it called but it's a special bond that connects us with our parents. Even we don't love them we can't hate them hundred percent and that's because they are our parents.Uncle runs away as he leaves his hands from his body and aunt follows.One more time, it's just two of us standing in the midst of the room, speechless and lost.Before, I thought it was me and at that time, it hurt him.
~Zara Todd’s POV~ She walks away from the room and we are left in the room together. Both of us being unanswered of the secrets that she wasn’t even willing to tell both of us.“Xavier! 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. She has been lying to me all her life and she is lying to you as well,” he says as he walks to me and kneels in front of me.He pulls me into his arms and caresses my shoulders a little faster than he u
~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~“How do you know them?” I shout at Jennifer. This thing is just knocking the air off me. I don’t understand what the hell is my dad and mom’s picture doing with her. And they are together as well.I only had a single picture of my parents and for the that single picture of them is the world. I don’t remember lots of things that I did together with my parents. I just have some vague memories of them creeping on my mind. I wish I have more of their memories.But still after that, just with a single picture of them, their image is deeply engraved in my heart. Just with that picture I have imagined my mom and dad in so many of my dreams and have cried for them. So, I know the image of my dad and mom clearly.How can a daughter do a mistake in knowing her own parents? I know these person along with her in those eighties picture is non-other than my own parents.“Yo
~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.
~Zara Todd’s POV~“What the hell are you speaking right now? What kind of hospital? Who is in the hospital?” he asks me with the shock plastered on his face.“Xavier, please don’t lie to me now. 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. I look down on the floor as the tear rolls down my eyes.“What is it Zara? Just fucking tell me,” he shouts.“I met Jack! I met Jack in the hospi
~Zara Todd's POV~As soon as we enter the venue, the colorful lights welcome us. This all seem to be extravagant to be just a normal high school ending party. 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.
~Zara Todd’s POV~I rush to the hospital where Jack has been right now as soon as possible. Everything inside me is breaking into pieces. Everything within me is making me weaker from deep within. 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. I can’t believe I am seeing Jack like this right now. And the foremost thing is I can’t believe Xavier did it.It can’t be. It just can’t be. How can Xavier do all of this? He was changed. He is changed. At least I thought t
