AMY POV :I have become a hopeless case, and my mother has started to get anxious about it.Although she didn’t speak of it, I know well, she is hell worried by the sudden change in my behavior.Even I am surprised by this sudden pain of loss in me.I am still not ready to accept that I have lost anything by ending my relationship with Derek.I suffered no loss in it at all.Instead, I have saved myself from a huge loss.So then why am I not feeling grateful??Why?“Amy…” My mother gave me an anxious look, and I knew well, an argument is going to begin, hence, I instantly excused myself from her.“Mother, I am going for a walk.”Taking the home key, I left my house without another word.BOOMOutside, I walked around blankly with my emotions getting heavy again, I shouldn’t be missing Derek but hell I am.Each second with the realization of his presence gone from my life was a terrible ache in my heart.It felt like his eyes were following me everywhere as though at this moment, his ey
“Oh, I love challenges, Mr. Garner,” With a sweet mock smile Derek appeared as a pure devil.I expected him to walk away as now he should be content to his heart by insulting Tom's efforts openly but instead, his eyes met mine and he held me in my place.“Miss Hood…” He spoke in a deep voice and instantly my insides clenched with the longing for him.“Follow me please, I need to discuss something regarding the new project,” Derek commanded and before I could refuse him or say anything in my defense he walked away with his head held high in arrogance.Such a shameless Bastard !!And overbearing too !!“I’ll see you in the evening…” I bid Tom goodbye and quickly followed Derek even when my heart was telling me not to.****KNOCK … KNOCKWith a light knock, I braced myself and then walked inside Derek’s office where he was already expecting me.He watched me intently and I tried my best to not shrug at all.The whole week has passed since I last encountered him.“Miss Hood…” He called ou
DEREK POV :CLINK“Are you sure about this??”With a light thud, Amy dropped the keys to her house in front of me. It's been only four days since I negotiated the debt thing with her.I thought this time I would succeed in bringing Amy back after all, she loves that house, how could she return it just like this??Amy’s face remained cold as she replied confidently, “Yes, Boss.”I tried to find the sadness in her eyes but all I saw was determination and calmness.What the hell happened in just four days which made her give up her house?What is she up to??“What did you tell to your mother??” I asked her anxiously, after all, her mother must have asked the reason when she evacuated the house with her.“That shouldn’t be your concern, Boss…You gave me a choice, I took one. We are done with this once and for all…”Amy looked way too determined in breaking every thread between us.I shouldn’t be feeling a nerve of panic, but I am.“I should leave now if there’s nothing more, Boss…” Bowin
AMY POV :Tiny little flames started to burn my heart when I saw Derek’s genuine care for Elsa, this proves how supreme her presence is in his life.I still remembered the pain he inflicted on me and the taste of his blood still lingered in my mouth.With me, he always becomes a monster while with Elsa, his caring and soft side always remained no matter what.After all, that woman was his first lost love, how could he treat her badly huh??It was my fate only to get treated like a used toy by him but for Elsa, it was his favorite treasure unlike me.SIGHMy eyes remained at Derek’s back while forgetting about my company and soon my company stepped in to pull me out of this emotional turmoil.“Hey, Amy?? We’re getting late…”And there I finally looked away from Derek’s disappearing back.“Yeah, let’s go…”“My car…” Tom grinned as we walked towards the car and without an argument this time I agreed with a plain smile.“Sure.”****“Chin down… A little to the left…” The photographer guid
BANGWith a loud bang, the jolting stopped and so did we all.“What happened??” I murmured to myself feeling extremely dizzy after the shake, forgetting about the other people present in the elevator with me.Until an anxious cry resonated in the elevator.“Elsa…”BOOMI finally found the source of the cry in the dim light, it was Derek, he was kneeling beside the faint figure of Elsa.Seriously??Is that woman made of flowers??I shook my head in disbelief as I watched the old lover patting his lady’s cheek and trying to wake her up.“Elsa…Are you fine??”“She has lost her consciousness, Mr. Shepherd.” Fed up from their caring scenes, I pointed out the truth and finally, Derek stopped.His eyes landed on me in the darkest and most intense way.I raised my brow in questioning at him.Did I say something wrong??With a glare, he stood from his place and pressed the emergency button, he then took out his phone and before he would start cursing, I informed him beforehand.“There would b
DEREK POV :PAAThe slap from Amy stopped the disaster I was trying to make unintentionally.I don’t know why, why I always lost myself when I see Amy with another man, especially Tom Garner.That man has slowly become the pain in a**.Not by just being with Amy, instead, he has started to take away some of my partners and has expanded his business with them.Although I have no problem with those people licking his feet instead of mine, but that boy has just shown the courage to compete with me.Which was admirable though.And If I won’t stop him at the time, he would definitely get above me, which I could never afford.And now Amy’s resignation, it just exploded my mind in the worst way possible.“Whore??You just called me a whore, Derek Shepherd !!”Amy looked hurt and madly furious at the worst choice of my words.“I…” I began hesitatingly, knowing well I have crossed all the lines today.“I will send another resignation letter and you have to approve it,” She poked her finger in
“Amy??” I let out a surprised cry when Amy held my face and kissed me passionately.This wasn’t supposed to happen at all, I was here to make up for my fault, not for making out in my car.It was totally unbelievable the way Amy was eating me out, I couldn’t digest the sudden change in her behavior.Hence, I again called her out in a bold hoarse voice.“Amy !!”She stopped, and looked up at me, her hair all scattered around her face in a mess but still she looked fabulous.That woman always looked fabulous to me, no matter if she dressed gracefully or not.“Isn’t this what you want, Derek??Aren’t you desperate to get inside me??Come on, I am giving you myself tonight…Take me…”Her offer was tempting and for a moment I seriously considered it but then again, my morals interfere.I was here to apologize and talk out the things between us, not to take her in my car.Although I won’t mind taking her in my car in a quickie, but we needed to talk first.“Amy, but…” I started when her fin
SHEPHERD VILLA :“Isn’t this what you want, Derek??Aren’t you desperate to get inside me??Come on, I am giving you myself tonight…Take me…”Amy’s breathless voice surrounded the whole living room and then came mine, same as breathless as hers.“I want you…”BOOMI paused, and waited with bated breath, where’s Amy’s name??Then the slick voice of our tongues colliding and the skin slapping against each other echoed making us all flush in unison.Everyone has turned red from shame but still, they all kept the posture of being a stern noble man.“What nonsense is this??”My father demanded furiously.“Who is this woman Derek?? Tell us…” Uncle Dylan demanded firmly while I just sneered, “Why don’t you ask about this from the person who has sent you this clip?”My counterattack didn’t seem to sit well, as Uncle Dylan frowned in pure disgust.Huh, now he is disgusted by Lila.Seriously??“That shameless woman did this deliberately, I know well…” My Grandpa joined in and I tried to contro
DEREK POV :Eric’s deception was easy to get caught, the moment he asked me to make a choice I knew he wouldn’t let us go.I could see the blood in his eyes, he wouldn't be at ease until he painted us all in red.With his men escorting the staff, I took the golden chance to attack him.My unexpected move made him bewildered, the first thing I did was to kick away his gun.“Close the door, Amy,” I commanded, in case his men returned to help him.Amy did as I told her.“You shouldn’t have done that, Derek…” Eric scowled as he attacked back at me, his punches flew in the air and when they hit my body, it was bloody painful.“Surrender, Eric, nothing will change between us, I promise.You will remain my brother, Eric Shepherd.”During our struggle, I tried to calm him down.“I am no Shepherd,I hate this name, I am Carson Dexter.”He acted crazily, throwing me away from him and then picking up the gun.CLICK“He made me like this,It was his fault.” He pointed the gun straight at the Gran
Before he would pull the trigger his father shouted in defeat.“I’ll bring everything, everything that you need, Eric.”Eric was smiling at his victory when all of a sudden Derek’s father hinted at the man and he stepped out of the crowd with a gun.“Now.” His father yelled and the shot was fired.BAM“Ahh…” The screeches of fear filled the atmosphere. As I looked up, I realized that the man who had stepped out had been shot by one of Eric’s men, while another person got shot in the wheelchair.“Viola…” Derek’s father leaped towards his wife when he was held by Eric’s men.“I told you father, ladies first.” Clenching his jaw, Eric seethed without a single remorse of killing his shooting his own mother.“If I could shoot my own mother you all have no idea what I could do to you all?” He threatened the whole staff and they cornered, with dread in their eyes while I remained on the ground, overwhelmed by all the disaster happening around me.Derek, where are you?****CLICK“Little broth
DEREK POV :“I killed his lover.”BOOMThat gunshot broke the barrier of my patience and I spoke out impassively.“Eric…”There was silence at the other end and then a mocking laugh came.“Hah, my sweet little brother,You still act impulsively, Deriee…”Eric spoke in wit.“Let everyone go, Eric, since when did you become a murderer?” I questioned, overwhelmed by the information of the massacre he created at the Shepherd Villa.“Murderer??What about Grandpa and Dad, who murdered my childhood together, my happiness, Derek?”His question made me avert my eyes at my father.I know their expectations were too high for Eric, and they tried their best to change Eric into a perfect candidate for Shepherd Corporation heir, but sadly he failed.Or they failed I guess.“What do you want, Eric, I’ll give you everything…” I made an offer.“Everything, Derek?” He asked to confirm.“Yes, everything…” I agreed instantly.“Good, send father with the approval letter of converting all the shares under
AMY POV :“Wake up, sweetie, we’re home…”I was in a dark place when a voice and a pat muddled with my mind.“Hmm…” With a groan, I opened my sleepy eyes and instantly sat up in fright.“You…” With my back hit hard, I realized I was trapped in a car with Carson.How? Wasn’t I sleeping in Derek’s bed?Where is he?My panic started to rise when he smiled.“I left a note for your fiance, Don’t worry, he’ll come soon.”With shallow breaths I watched him, he sat calmly and groomed.I looked around to get an idea of my location but I found nothing.SCREECHAt last, the car stopped and Carson stepped out of it, and then pulled me out with him.“Ah.” The daylight hit my face making me squeal for a moment, When I opened my eyes fully I saw the villa in front of me.“Shepherd Villa?” I gasped.“Clear the way.” Unbothered by my struggles, Carson held my arm tightly and then pulled me roughly inside.As soon as the guards saw him entering with force, they charged at him, but very soon they were a
ONE YEAR LATER“Loss??” I looked at the Manager in shock. Were my decisions proved to be wrong?“Those people faked their qualifications, they were never qualified for this job Sir.”THUDI sat in my chair, lots of words, and thoughts.“What about the loan we took?” I inquired.“We have a deadline in a week,” He informed me.A week…So, we have a week to go bankrupt.“Hah…”I laughed at my misery, Since childhood, I was getting prepared to handle all the business issues, yet I failed in just a year.I did such a terrible job,It’s a shame for me.****“What’s the progress, son?” Grandpa asked at the dining table and I gave him the fake conclusion.“We’re having some issues, but we’ll be fine Grandpa.”“Great, my Eric could never make any mistake.” He spoke proudly while I sat silent, drowned in my own failure.****“Be strong, brother, I am going to visit you in a few days.” Derek tried to encourage me but I was too occupied in my disaster.After disconnecting his call, I called Elsa.
ERIC SHEPHERD :Seven Years Old“Leave me alone, Deriee,” I growled unhappily.While I was here studying madly, and doing multiple activities, my twin brother, Derek got the chance to walk around free and eat ice cream.His continuous offer to me made me want to take a bite of ice cream too.“Eriee,” He teased me.“Fine, one bite I’ll take and just one race.” Closing my book softly, I told him.“On your mark, get, set, go.”Derek started to run away and I chased after him. Whenever we raced there was no winner or loser, we always got into a tie.Even today it would happen the same way if Grandpa hadn't returned home early.“Eric.” At his one call, I stood straight, panic rising in my heart.“I win… I win…” Derek jumped happily while my heart dropped with each step Grandpa was taking toward me.“Is this the way an heir should be, hmm?Look at yourself Eric,” He scolded me and I lowered my head further in shame.“I’m sorry, Grandpa,” I apologized quickly.“Get back to studying.” He orde
“A child needs a father,I won't let that kid experience the life I had, Derek.I could never be that cruel."Amy spoke irrelevantly making me frown deeper."We'll talk about this in the morning, Amy,I already had enough for today."I groan in response all ready to leave the room and end this stupid topic when her words halted my steps."Drop me back to my home, Derek,Knowing this place belongs to someone else in your life, I can't stay here, Derek..."That was it, her words literally boiled my blood.Can't she see that everything I have belongs to only one person, that's her.Can't she see??"You’re my f**king fiance that doesn’t allow you to give me away to others…I am not a f**king toy, I am a human with a heart and it will always belong to you, I belong to you, Amy.I Love you, Damn it,and I will never allow you to walk away from me or push me to someone else.I know I made a few mistakes in the past and hurt you badly, but God, can't you see I'm trying my best to change every
DEREK POV :Amy’s behavior outside was totally unexpected, and what’s more unexpected is her ignorance regarding her actions.What had happened to her?I thought this trauma won’t harm anyone but looking at Amy now, I felt frightened by her appearance.What if she harms someone else too?The man called her “MadWoman” and she didn’t show any response to it.Has her mind gone numb?I felt fully helpless in this situation, I don’t have any idea what to do.Knowing that my own brother has done this to my lover hurts me f**king bad.Why?Why did Eric harm Amy?She has no relation with him at all.Why, Eric? Why?“Amy…Derek…Dear, what’s this noise outside?” Amy’s mother came rushing, worry written all over her face.Amy remained pale and unresponsive to her when I wisely held her arm breaking her trance.“Oh, we just revealed our relationship status to the paparazzi, they were congratulating us…” I made up a lie.“Oh, that’s such a good news,My dear, Amy…”Unknown to Amy's lack of emotio
AMY POV :The peace in my heart matched the peace on the man’s face beside me.Derek slept peacefully and I watched him in fascination. This man could never look dull, although I know he’s exhausted but this peace on his face, his charisma could never let his charm fall off.GOD !!I sighed in admiration while caressing his face.The scruff on his face rubbed roughly at the palm of my hand but I didn't mind, it gave me the console I needed the most.I had no idea for how long I watched him until the room started to get dark giving me the indication of the night.Pulling Derek away from me gently, I stood up to look for the switch but as I was bound with the IV in my hand I couldn’t move around much.Thinking wisely I pressed the button to call for a nurse.The moonlight fell in the room and I felt attracted towards it.Without knowing, I headed for the vast window and looked outside, as I had expected it was full moon and the moonlight created a melancholic mood that swept over all th
