We were in the balcony, I could see my darling mate right in front of me and to hear her melodious voice, I decided to call her.“Hey, done with making reports?”“Yeah,” She smiled, leaning against the railing to stare right into my soul and etch her name there.Because when we kissed, when we mated, everything made sense. Everything felt beautiful, as if it was meant to be and I melted. “Are your parents asleep, little girl?” I teased her.“Hey. I am just… not ready to tell anyone about us,”“Are you free?” “Yeah,” She nodded.“Can I come over?” I smirked, blowing a kiss in her direction that made her timid. She chuckled softly with those eyes lowering with attractiveness.Holding her dress, she moved back, waving her hand in the air playfully.“I don’t know. If you feel like it,”And considering it an invitation, I entered her room through the balcony. She left it open for me obviously.“Hey,” “Neighbors didn’t see you, right? And Gizelle-” “We don’t share the room anymore and
Hastily, wrapping up my things, I went to the hospital. My heartbeats were dropping by each passing second to fathom how low Kyle had fallen.Though I had no expectations from him anyways but to think he went this far to force Eliana, I won’t let it.With rage surrounding me, the second I came, Eliana rushed and jumped into my arms.“Denzel!” She embraced me and began to sob. MMy whole being froze, eyes cascading down to her vulnerable form.“Eliana,” Murmuring, I embraced her back protectively.“Denzel, Kyle, he- he,” I won’t let anyone or anything harm her, she was my responsibility and I won’t let a single scratch appear on her. I would protect her.“Hey, hey, don’t cry. I am here now. Nothing will happen,” I whispered, not allowing her to leave my arms, keeping her against me so I could protect her from all the evil.“I am so scared, Denzel. Look what he did to Papa. I don’t want to marry him, I don’t want him to hurt people I love,”Tears rolled down sorrowfully on her cheeks.
“Are you seriously going to do that?” Lucas asked in disbelief.He was staring at me with a gaped mouth as I sighed loudly from frustration, rubbing my temples, not sure of my path ahead.“Then tell me what to do? Are Mr. Duke’s words wrong?” Mr. Duke’s words echoing in my mind. My heart melted before his begging.I found myself so vulnerable before a father’s request.‘A human should be with a human…’He believed that Kyle might be better than me… who knows he might be?“Besides, running away for life- is that the type of life I was supposed to give her?” I muttered under my breath, slamming my hand on the glass table, appearing a crack on it.Distraught with undesirable thoughts, my breaths were heavy. Easier said than done, to hurt her, to leave her.It was too much for me.But, I had given my words to Mr. Duke. My heart believed in a father’s words, parents couldn’t be wrong… right?... Right?!“I can’t do anything unless I do something about Armiz first. I didn’t know Kyle’s con
Her mother was in the hospital and failing to stay at home on her own, she called me over. “Hmm, what is it?” I sounded so cold. “Denzel, I feel so scared,” She whispered and was about to hug me but I stopped her. She made a crying face, so distressed by these troubles.And worsening her state, I replied nonchalantly.“Then marry him,” And with a crushed heart and fragmented dreams, of losing her before I could have her. My mate was lost before I could gain the privilege of having her. I had lost her. “What? What did you just say?”With an unwanted heart, I was confronting her. She was trembling, tears were glistening in her eyes as I became a heartless one in her perspective.“I said marry him. Kyle is the only one for you now.” My enunciation brought tears to her sapphire eyes. She was holding the hem of her dress. She found it extremely hard to believe after my promises and I couldn’t explain how excruciating shattering her heart was for me.“What? What are you talking abou
‘I am sorry, I am so sorry for having me in your life, for becoming the worst person you had ever met. Please forgive me,’I thought sorrowfully when me and Mrs. Duke was struggling to convince Eliana for the marriage and she was not listening.“You have to do this. Lives are dependent on your decision, Eliana, please, try to understand,”The power of mate-pull which I suspected she could feel was there. And it was not allowing her to accept anyone else anymore apart from me. When she had accepted me, she couldn’t think of another man.“Please, please, don’t say this,”“Why not, Eliana? Look around us, your father is in the hospital, Kyle is threatening you. Do you see any options available?” I growled, hoping to make her listen but shaking her head, it didn’t work.She couldn’t do this. “That doesn’t mean you will serve me as a sacrificial goat and make me marry him. When I said I won’t then I won’t!”Shouting, tears began to glisten in her eyes, pulling her hair with frustration b
PRESENTELIANA’S POV:-I was stunned to hear everything, I could feel it within that he must have a reason to do all this but his heartlessness silenced me.I didn’t want to believe it but the sting of it remained and now he had told me the reasoning, things he was afraid to tell me.I found myself being wrapped in a sheet of tranquility.“And when you told me you are pregnant, I knew I must protect you at all costs.” Holding his head, distress began to creep on his handsome features as he held my hand firmly and kissed them.I found it relieving that he suffered how I did, that me latching my heart with his was never a mistake. “Fuck whatever I will lose, I won’t make the same mistake again,” He whispered, voice breaking a little but he suppressed the heavy sensation and greeted my eyes firmly.“You said… save my life. I don’t understand. Papa begged you-”“Armiz can kill you and he threatened me he will kill your parents and take you away forcefully,”“Why?” I whispered, having no
“Please stay tonight, Denzel,”I didn’t know about him but my body was heated, my mind was intoxicated, my breaths were unstable with the urge to be connected with him only.He was staggered, staring at me in a hint of hesitation. I held onto his hands firmly with desperation creeping on my face. “Don’t go,”“Eliana…” Licking his lips nervously, he pulled hands away from mine slightly. The fire in body grew but he held an apologetic face.“Please don’t say this,” He whispered.“Why?”Bringing my hands closer to his lips so he could kiss my knuckles, increasing my hopelessness.“Seeing this bed already is devastating for me, to fathom what he must have done to you. It is already painful,” He murmured.“And that is exactly why I want you to stay.” Leaving our hands as I ended up gripping his shirt firmly, pulling him forward into me. My eyes were pleading with him to stay while he wanted to leave. “Weren’t your body in pain?” “Not anymore when you are here,” Taking a step closer
“Hey, are you okay?”After the cops left, Kyle held onto me in an oh-so loving manner as if he cared too much for me. “Why are you caring now?”Frowning, I ripped his hand off from me.“Where was it when I called you? When you considered my terror a drama,” I hissed.Going back inside the untidy room, watching the mess in the window with a growl lingering constantly on my face with him following me from behind.“I am sorry, Eliana, I didn’t know… I am so sorry, I was frustrated because of the accident,” He murmured softly.“And you took it on me?! How could you, Kyle!?” I hissed.Now after hearing everything that not only he forced and cheated, he also threatened to offer me as a slave to Armiz.He was downgraded from my perspective terribly. I feel disgusted, hating his proximity, not wanting to spend a moment with him. “Please, listen, I didn’t mean to get you hurt,”Coming behind me to kiss my shoulders but I pushed him back with my elbow.“Don’t you dare to come closer.”Glarin
