AMY POV:I intended to not let my guard off around him.After struggling for the whole day, and then finally giving him a blow, at last, it fell on me that I stood no chance in front of him.As he said before, It was a losing game for me.I could never win over him.Never…He wanted my obedience, so I would give it to him in order to get my freedom while trying to keep my emotions intact.But, as soon as his mouth touched my skin, it gave me a burning sensation, not the one that would hurt me or burn me but something that literally made me a Goddess of Flames.The way he worshiped my body, it was difficult to tell that it was just an obsession he carried for me, NO…His obsession contained something more, something that made him gentle, then furious, and then loveable…His touch could send shivers to not only my body but my soul.Even when I want to deny that he has no right over me, I know the moment he touched me my body surrendered to him obediently.DAMN HIMHe knew it well and th
Seeing the shock on my face, Derek just smiled and then closed my open jaw.Very smoothly he returned to feeding me.“I can’t believe it…” I murmured, still shocked.“What’s there to not believe??” He looked slightly offended and hurriedly I explained, “The heir of the Shepherd Family wanted to be a Chef…It just felt a little unexpected.How did your parents react to this??Are they proud??”I asked stupidly and his brows furrowed, “They got the same silent reaction as yours actually…”After a moment he replied, making me swallow in embarrassment.“I’m sorry…” I murmured.“It’s fine, everyone reacted the same actually, no one really believes a man like me would be interested in becoming a chef…Like who will not love to be the Gracious CEO of Sepherd Corporation??And control the whole world, hmm??”He spoke nonchalantly, but I noticed the flash of sadness in his eyes.Isn’t he happy to be a CEO?Isn’t he happy to have power and control over everyone??“So, are you??” I asked curious
CLICKThe door opened unexpectedly and instantly my heart leaped into my throat from excitement and fear.The excitement that I finally made it to my escape.And the fear of him.How would he react when he would find me gone the next morning?On my tiptoes, I made my way outside, the wind was chilly, and without any slippers on my bare feet started to get cold.Three cars parked outside, and slowly, in between them I made my way to the main door. I am too close.Once, I will be out then…Then what??My steps stopped reflexively.His threats started to occupy my mind, and then I remembered that my passport was still in his hold which means I could never leave this place, wherever I would go he would hunt me.And what if during this hunting, something would happen to my mother??I can’t risk my mother’s life in Derek’s obsession.I can’t do this to her.It was me who brought Derek on my own self, it was my fault since the beginning to think of him as a noble, great man, which clearly he
Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm the apprehensive feeling in my heart.He will get well, surely…But how???I paused and looked around for his medicines, I could feed them to him, no?But no matter how much I shook him, he remained unresponsive increasing my anxiety more and more.“Amy…”A very low whisper escaped from his lips, it was so audible I couldn’t catch it for the first few minutes, but then I realized he was calling for me.Forgetting about everything, I slid into his bed beside him, pulling him gently into my arms, although he was hard as stone, and his body was hot as lava.At that moment, nothing actually mattered to me.Except for him, nothing !!“Derek… Oh, please… Derek… Open your eyes…” I held his face and pressed it lightly into my body as I hugged him, his hot breath was burning my skin.As usual, he didn’t respond and my heart squeezed painfully.Unknowingly, hot tears started to well up in my eyes and I started crying while keeping Derek closer to my heart.
I was busy making my breakfast and reheating his, when Derek appeared in the kitchen and I tried my best to ignore him at all costs.CLICKThe noise took my attention and then the cold breeze hit my face.My eyes widen in the realization that he has just opened the back door.Why?To explore the sea??I felt a bubble of excitement jumping in my heart but I immediately subdued it knowing well, how evil this man could be.****“Thank you…”In the silent atmosphere when I was filling my stomach, those two words from Derek made me choke on my food instantly.COUGH … COUGHI was coughing like a buffalo as Derek rubbed my back and then handed me a glass of water.Once the coughing calmed, I gulped it down while my nerves remained shocked by his words.“I don’t want this…” He spoke and I thought he was talking about breakfast when his eyes fixed on me, only me.“I don’t want to trap you here, Amy.You have a life, and so do I… I can’t keep you locked here forever.”Thankfully, at last, he re
“DAMN…!!!”Derek cursed and I shook my head as I watched him struggling from the kitchen.Apparently, the sex at the beach day was my last day here, but then later, Mr. Derek Shepherd, cunningly convinced me into staying here for a few more days because he hasn’t gotten enough of his shares from me.It felt so sweet at that time, but later only I realized that he was asking for more sex indirectly.PERVERTAnd now, he has brought a huge LED for us to watch a movie together.SO CARING…If that wasn’t any new bluff from him, I hope so…“I can help, Derek…” I offered from behind and he stopped wrestling with the instruction book.“No, I am fine…”WOAH, his male Ego !!“We can call someone to put this, Derek…I bet you have never ever installed a Television on your own,Never in your life…”I gave him a sweet knowing smile and he shrugged looking a little flushed.Is he embarrassed??“Am I that obvious?”BRAVO !!!For the very first time, I concluded the right thing about him.“Oh, no… no
The next upcoming days were blissful, Derek never left my sight, instead we started doing grocery shopping together and in the evening we would walk at the beach.Sometimes, he would take me out to explore the area.It was a quiet and nice place, not well established as I saw a few homes under construction.I and Derek together furnished this home. According to him, he has never done it before and is never even interested in furnishing one.But still, with me, he was doing everything.Quite weird, No??I tried to not put my mind on any negative thoughts and remained joyful and unbothered.After all, once we stepped out of this place, I would highly doubt if this sweet, blissful relationship would remain the same between us.But definitely, sex isn’t going anywhere.SIGH****“Just park here, I’ll walk…” I raised my hand impulsively to stop Derek, but he had already entered the community and I rolled my eyes displeased.“PHUFF…”He parked the car and didn’t say a word as I had expected
Taking a deep long sigh in distress, I put my phone on silent mode and then got into my bed hoping the next day would bring something new and hopeful for me.****“You’re ignoring me.”A cold attic voice from behind me sent chills down my spine, I wanted to take it as my hallucination but then the soft pinch at my waist told me, it was clearly not.“No…” A small false denial came out of my mouth in my defense.“Hmm??” His voice turning colder.“I fell asleep last night…” I explained hurriedly still not having the courage to turn to him.“And the morning texts?” He demanded.So, after several calls last night, today, in the morning, Derek sent me Morning Greetings for the very first time and even offered me a ride.I wonder how he knew that I had sold my car already??But again, he knows everything related to me.And I am not very happy with his sweetness and greetings because that would just make me fall harder for him, and I don’t want this for me at all.“Derek…” I exhaled, intendin
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
