Due to Gizelle’s departure, a scenario of a funeral was created in my mansion, people were coming to fulfill their thirst for drama.She had been there for me for a long time so they were coming to check up on me.While my mind was elsewhere. I barely had any concern about it and thankfully Lucas was taking care of everything. He was handling the unwanted display of sorrow.I was outside my place, holding my sides to think about my next actions until Mr. Duke came and placed his hand over my shoulder.“Denzel, are you okay?”Blinking to come out of my trail of thoughts, I turned to him slowly. “Huh? I don’t know,” I faked a sorrowful resonance so he won’t might not consider that I was relieved over her death. “I heard Gizelle left after stealing your important information,” He added.Narrowing his eyes but I won’t get lost in his words and hummed, making a fist to fake anger and gloom. “I could not believe what a traitor she would be,” “She had always been selfish, Mr. Duke. Onl
ELIANA’S POV:-‘I will please you in a way no man would ever be able to,’ You did, Denzel, you actually did it.A dry smile came to my lips, considering myself naïve for believing in him.Because after the scar he gave me, I could no longer feel the same protectiveness and pleasure from my husband’s.And it felt wrong. I was constantly thinking about another man in my marriage which was the worst part of it. My mind was only revolving around him, forgetting my world. “Where are you lost, Dear?” Mama called after noticing me getting lost in my trail of heavy thoughts.“Huh? Nothing,”Gaining my cognition, I turned to her, shaking my head. I didn’t want to trouble them or anyone about my worthless emotions.When the one I gave my heart to didn’t care then why would anyone else?“When will Kyle return?” “I don’t know. I didn’t bother to ask,” I sighed, leaning back on the couch while eating some grapes. “Come on. Are you going to remain like this forever?” She frowned, astonishing
The next day, my mind was elsewhere, I did not prefer his presence. If he could try to mend bonds now his girlfriend was gone then he was wrong.I am married now. He couldn’t show any right toward MY child anymore, not after abandoning me nor I would allow it. “What does he think of himself? Does he think showing care would melt my heart?” I was fuming inside my room, pacing around in rage. Discard my feelings for him, I won’t melt or be swayed in his trap.“Damn him, I would never forgive him for breaking my heart,” I hissed.Holding my sides a tear pricked in my eyes because all that remained on my heart was a question.…Why?“Why did you do this?” And once again all my thoughts stopped at this point. The question of ‘why’, why my life was stuck here, why did I face this anguish?This ‘why’ would kill me one day.I was surrounded in my trails of unwanted thoughts until Mama called. “Eliana! Come here and see,”“What is it, Mama?” Sighing, I went out to check what she wanted to
Back to when our bond just started, my tennis competition came again. I was afraid to disappoint my parents again.I didn’t want to lose and get second position.And fortunately, I had Denzel with me this time who was helping me in training which my best friend Lenny never did.“You won’t win the competition like this, Eliana,” Denzel sighed when I served, shaking his head in disappointment.“Why? What is it? You said it before too that I won’t. What am I doing wrong?” I frowned when we were training but I failed to practice properly.And we were also doing this in a proper court so Papa won’t catch me and get furious that I was doing ‘stupid’ activities instead of studying.“If you want to win then you must not take your anger out on the ball. You are hitting too hard, relax.” He instructed, coming closer to stand behind me.“The fact you want to beat Melissa was taking over you, you must lose yourself and pay attention.” He whispered. “How?” “Here,” He placed one hand over my sho
“How are you? I will try to wrap up my work soon and take you home, Eliana,” I was on call with Kyle with a never ending grimace lingering on my features. Laying on the bed, I was staring at the ceiling.“Hmm. It’s alright, take your time,”“I will also make up for my mistakes.” “Hmm. Good luck,” I sounded so disinterested yet that didn’t stop him from continuing.“Hopefully then I can see your real smile.” “Kyle, I am sleepy, can we talk tomorrow?” I faked a yawn, sitting up as I pushed my hair back. His same things were pissing me off now. He was constantly exasperating me with these talks.“Oh, sure.” He chuckled nervously.“Take care,”“You too,” Not wanting to listen to his useless talks that could reduce my state of equanimity, I cut the call. “Were bonds supposed to work like this? Slap, doubt and do whatever one wanted and then fucking apologize.” I spoke under my breath angrily, not liking his talks at all. I went to the balcony for some fresh air along with a scowl li
The next day, the weather was cloudy and windy which called for a walk. The wind embracing my skin, the beautiful scene.I couldn’t resist the need to go out, walking around and indulge in nature while enjoying my ice-cream.Soon it began to rain and I was sitting alone in the gazebo as everyone left for their homes or enjoyed the rain with their loved one.“Ah… how lovely,” ‘Will I receive this kind of happiness again?’Thinking sorrowfully, I finished my ice-cream and stayed there until a familiar resonance came from behind, hitching my breaths.What he did to my soul was always to my oblivion. How could I feel in such a mystic way at one call?“Shall I drop you home?”Inhaling sharply, I gathered my composure to not fall weak by emotions and turned to him coldly.“What are you doing here?”He smirked faintly, water dripping from his hair. I could see his car parked nearby. It seemed like he came for me. The thought sent a shiver down my spine as he came and leaned against the pil
DENZEL’S POV:-‘Please leave my daughter else ‘he’ will kill her. I beg of you, Denzel, leave her path. In the worst case, he will annihilate my whole family,’ I could not forget Mr. Duke’s begging became a sting of my core.That became the fetter around my feet, stealing me away from my Eliana and to his begged, I merely replied- ‘Don’t worry, I won’t cast my shadow near her again, her life is far more important than anything else’Then why the hell I couldn’t stop myself!?What the hell was wrong with me? How could I possibly cause her more aching? Wasn’t the scars I gave her enough?Why was I constantly stopping at her doorsteps and falling into the pits of abysmal darkness? Why couldn’t I just stop myself from agonizing both of us? Where was this fucking courage before when she needed me!?“... I am sorry, I am so sorry,”Murmuring weakly to myself, I stood on the ground, drenched under the heavy rain where she left me with a tear rolling down my cheek.Thankfully the rain con
After knowing about his arrival, I had absolutely lost my mind. I knew he would only cause me endless troubles and it distressed me.Shaking my knees, I was pulling my hair in frustration, hating his arrival.“Wow, after ruining us, he had decided to return,” Lucas snarled, hating him for what he did to us.“I am amazed at his audacity to work here in our presence and moreover, a partnership with that Kyle,” Lucas hissed, slamming his hand on the table before turning to me.“Say something, Alpha, what should we do?” Frowning, I groaned in frustration, “How the hell did that happen in the first place?”“If he came to know about Gizelle, what would we do?” He asked but Gizelle’s disappearance was least of my concern.As long as he didn't know about the body, everything was alright.“And what if he told Armiz? Then what will we do?” I asked, my biggest concern.They will rip me off my position, I will become a rogue, I will lose the place I called home, my family.And by all means, I co
