JACK'S POV...
"Stop" i heard giggling zoe.
I jumped up and stomped towards the sound. I was angry. A man was in my suit with MY girl. What the hell?
I stopped at the door, to see zoe sitting on the couch with brushes in her hands and a tensed man sitting on the floor facing her. I looked closed, kevin, my right hand and a good friend. I cleared my throat to get there attention.
"You are up" chirped zoe getting up. She came and stood by my side holding my arm.
Kevin got up from the ground but didn't face me, "I never told you to move" spoke zoe in authority. My eyes widened at her audacity.
Thats my girl...
Kevin exhaled loudly, trying to contain himself.
"Whats going on?" I asked wrapping my arm around zoe. She laughed.
"Mr. I-will-tell-you-what-to-do, please show your pretty face to my fiancee" laughed zoe crossi
Zoe's Pov... It felt good. Being in his arms. I have had my fair share of boys, but this Man is hell. I felt special with him. I felt protected with him. I felt happy. I felt everything that I should be feeling with a guy. His perfect sleeping face. His messy hairs. His beard. And his angry face. I love irritating him. But that doesn't mean, I am going to leave my future lagging. I want to be independent. I want to be the support system, support system for abused girls. I work with my team to help such girls. Its complete secret. Not even my family knows about it. Just me and my girls. "Zoe" I heard a faint voice.
Jack's Pov...I heard an insanely loud and painful scream. The first thing that came in my mind was...ZOE.My subconscious worked before I can think, I don't even know when I started walking but I was standing in kevin's office....dumb foldI grabbed zoe, instinctively. I pulled her close to me."Babe, you okay?" I asked almost panicked."Aaaahhhh" whined kevin rubbing his... nipple?Zoe was struggling to get off my grip, but in vain."You piece of shit" shout zoe glaring kevin"This little brat of yours pulled a stunt on me" spoke kevin in pain still rubbing his... nipple.What the hell happened here?
Zoe's Pov... Jack apologized, but now my main priority is my family now. I have spent whole 2 days with him. Or say locked with him. He should learn to ask. I am supposed to be his other half right? He should not invade my life like this. And aarav and dad still don’t know about us. Instead of going into my room, I went in Aarav’s room. I missed him. And what's up with sudden business meetings? He didn't work with dad then why did he joined papa in trip? My train of thoughts ended when aarav entered the room
Zoe’s Pov… I received a call few days back stating that a guy from our batch is arranging an unofficial reunion. I reluctantly agreed. "Hello" I greet all of them as soon as I reached our table. They were sitting together in the corner table altogether. Just like we used to sit during over college days. "Finally, the almighty queen have arrived" alisha spoke sarcastically with a smirk. "Yeah! She don't have sam to escort her here now." Spoke amy. It was so weird hearing his name from her mouth after ages. Everyone fell into pin drop silence.
Aarav's pov.I hate him. I absolutely hate this so called king. He thinks he can do anything, but indeed he can.I don't know how he made zoe like him. He is complete opposite of zoe's taste in men.And on the top of it he also managed to manipulate dad successfully. He has wrapped mom and dad around his fingers just like that.I admit he is strong and intimidating. I would be lying if I say I am not afraid of him. His murderous look never leaves mmy mind. His behaviour completely changes in front of zoe. He looks at zoe as if she is his everything. His giddy behaviour around her and joking personality really masks who he really is.... A monster.Zoe is happy with him, I can see that. But I am sure she is not in love with him. She is dumb. But what can you expect? She doesn't know a thing. We didn't tell her anything.Jack is really
Aarav's Pov..."Will you stop day dreaming?" Shout mom pulling me out of my trans. I was not day dreaming, I was reliving the nightmare that jack showed me.Yes, Jack changed papa's mind. I can't believe how is papa willing to sacrifice his own blood.I know we have reason, 20 broken lives in exchange of my sister.Saving life of 20 souls in exchange of one pure one.This is pure business.This is wrong.And zoe is still in dark. She have no idea that her life is traded with a demon."Will you just pay attention?" Shout mom again. I didn't knew I was again distracted again but I can't help it."What?" I asked."Go get ready, you will drop zoe at her reunion thing" mom said from kitchen."What reunion?" I asked."Didn't she tell
Jack's PovI drove slowly to zoe's place. I want to spend some time with her alone. All alone.We are taking it slow, like sluggish slow. Why the HELL girls need so much time.I was out for two weeks, only if richard was here then I would have spend every weekend with her. I thought that Elijah would work it all but I don't think he is capable.Mother fucking two week I was out, I called her few times a week to check on her, god I missed. She don't like talking on call, she believes in face to face talking but chatting is fine for her. Weird girl.I haven't fucked her for over a month, she had periods then mood swings and then 'not in mood' and then I left.Or let me rephrase it, I have only touched her couple of times. Something always comes up, not that I am complaining, having her beside me works fine too. She calms me."Jack" she called
Zoe's Pov...Jack left minutes ago and I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me. Yes I missed him and I was really excited for today. I am pretty sure he would be angry right now.Uncle's angry with me. He scold me for like an hour. He thought it was love affair but when I informed them that dad asked me to meet him, uncle's angry jumped out of the window.So choosing a guy for yourself is wrong but when parents choose the same guy for you then it's perfect.Yeah we had argument over this and guess what? Who won? Of course uncle. Because when youth put their point of view forth then we are disrespecting the elders.Ultimately I apologized.Yeahh I know this sucks...Uncle left that night and I had a peaceful night."Zoe, get up its 12pm already. " Yelled aarav"
After the death of Zoe. Jack lost his mind, he was forcefully admitted to mental asylum, where his treatment was monitored.Karma pulled a great toll on him.His own mind started playing games with him. He saw Zoe's face in every memory of the girl he ever tortured.Jack's dream... I hate keeping her underground in the cell. I love her so much. I gave her everything. HOW DARE SHE LEAVE ME? she is my wife. My other half. I know she is afraid but i love killing. I love the sight when my enemy's body drain out of blood. and did everything to keep all this away from her, hidden. she is too kind to understand this.Yet, she saw me killing my own "so called brother". she didn't even gave me a chance to explain myself.She is still unconscious. I found her and brought her here. GOD, I missed her, i missed her soft skin, her hazel eyes, her long brown hairs, her smile. But she
Jack's pov... "Zoe? " Shaking her shoulders I tried to wake her up, she didn't buldge."Zoe? I am sorry Zoe. Come back" I call her panicking."ZOE" I shook her aggressively. She didn't move. Her lifeless eyes stare at me.Everything around me seem to stop working. Continuing to shake her. Trying to move her, I tried my best to control my tears."Zoe, please. I am sorry. Please" I plead holding her hand on my chest."I love you" I whisper as tears freely fall from my face.Slowly her hands starts to get cold.I lost her, forever. 2 hours ago... It's been a fortnight now. I
Jack's pov. I saw pain in my Zoe's eyes.Pain when she saw me killing elijah.Pain when I took her to guest room.Pain when she looked at me.Pain when aarav confessed.Pain when her parents confessed.Pain when she realized everything.Elijah won.I tried so hard to hide everything.I gave up so many things for her.I became a better man only for her.All of this only to be burst out together.The pressure she is going through is immense and painful.I can't believe my own brother betrayed me.Yes, I killed him in anger but it hurtsI am hurting too.I never thought that out of all of our enemies he will stab me in the back.I trusted him with my life.
Zoe's pov"Also. Girls were mine. I will bring them back here if you don't behave" Said Kevin finally walking out and closing the door behind him.Jack slowly place me down and remove his hand from my waist.Papa and mumma were still in mansion. I can still go to them. There is no way that they left so early.I ran to the huge wooden double doors. I tried pulling it.No luck."MUMMA. PLEASE DON'T LEAVE" I yell at the top of my lungs.I tried pushing it. No luck."PAPA. PLEASE COME BACK"I scratch it."MUMMA"I pound my fist on it."AARAV"I kept pounding my fist on the door. It didn't open.I pulled it again with all my strength.I pushed it. I yell. I screech.I did everything my bo
Zoe's pov... "Zoe" Said jack.My eyes remained fixed on the pumping heart of elijah in his hands. Blood seeping out of the heart, down the Jack's hand.This is beyond humanity.This is pure evil.I have been engaged to an evil, cruel, and heartless man.I was going to marry this devil disguised in human form."Zoe" I heard him call me again.My body still refuse to work.But my brain on other side, it was going to expose any minute now.The constant waves of chill running down my spine, creeping their way all over my body.We both stood there in shock. I can see his shocked expressions too.No one uttered a single word.The heart from his hand fell down, colliding with the edge of the table then to the floor.The po
Zoe's pov..."Get in the wedding dress" She order."Excuse me? " I yell"Well, I know he paid you good for this work, now come on. Hop in the dress, get me to the car and run away" She said throwing her hands in the air."What? No" I protest and turn to leave.I was yanked back soon after.This girl pull my hair. O! M! G!"Listen here you lowlife shit" She said in dangerous deadly tone, "I have been stuck with my fake family for a year now. I will not marry that old, rusty cranky man for the sake of my family""Ohhh" I said a she retract her hand from my hair."So you better get in that dress and get me to the car or you won't be able to withstand the consequences" She yell."I take you to the car? " I ask pointing my index finger on myself."Yes. You
Jack's pov... "I know where sam is" She said ignoring my question.I looked at her in disbelief.Elijah shot her an angry look which made her go cowering behind angel.Kevin hit Elijah in his stomach."Tell us amy, where is sam? " Ask angel politely.Amy looked at Elijah who was coughing and groaning in pain. Kevin hold her head in his palms so that she look him in eyes."You are safe. He won't hurt you I promise" Said Kevin.I want to console her, tell her she is safe but I have mission right now.We still don't know where is zoe.Amy took her time to compose her self."Amy spill right now" I said with firmness.I can't waste anymore time.We can send her to therapy but right now is not the time."In your room" She said looking
Zoe's pov. Carson quickly pulled me out of the room.I saw various bodies laying unconscious on the floor."They are not dead, just unconscious" Carson said."I know that" I replied.He pulled me in a hallway with many locked rooms.Hallway after hallway.Then a staircase.Then a hallway in the right.I thought we were in ware house of some sort but now I am sure we are in a maze.I yanked my hand back from his hand, "how many more hallways? " I ask crossing my hands on my chestHis eyes momentarily go to my chest then again to my face."I am the boss here" He said and started pulling me out.Soon the backdoor came in view and I know this is backdoor because it was embedded on the door."Why do you write 'backdoor' on the backdoor? " I
Jack's pov. "Why? " I ask him coldly.There has to be some reason. What made him go against his own brothers?Our body stiff, ready to pull out our guns any moment."All this could have been avoided Jack" Said Elijah sighing through his nose.I felt the movement behind me, I immediately pulled out the gun and shot behind me.A guard fell down with thud. From the corner of my eyes I saw Kevin doing the same.A group of four guard, almost twice my size, attack me at the same moment, pinning me down.One held my right arm down, the other held my left, the same with my legs.And one hold a gun on my head.Kevin was in same state."I asked you to kill sam, you didn't" He said pointing his index finger at me like a maniac.He started walking inside, towards the lounge area
