Pushing away all the distress, I started getting prepared for my date night with Tom.If Derek doesn't want me, it should be his loss, not mine.I shouldn't be sitting at home and mourning his absence.No, I should be taking this as a good chance for me to get familiar with Tom.I don’t know how much time it would be until I tell Tom the truth about me and Derek.Or I shouldn’t…This truth would gain me nothing but would only ruin my happiness with Tom.Or perhaps Tom would appreciate my honesty and honor me more?Well, I highly doubt if any man would ever appreciate this kind of honesty from a woman.I don’t think so…SIGH****“God, Amy…” Tom gasped in admiration and a slight disbelief when I came into his view.I don’t occasionally wear such a long sexy sophisticated dress, but the place he has chosen tonight was a high luxury place and my dress should be according to it.Hence, I let my wallet loose and bought an expensive designer dress, in an emerald color which isn’t really my
“He’s a jerk… Don’t think about him…”Watching myself in the huge mirror, I told myself.Maybe this will stop the weird feeling appearing in my heart.Why should I feel guilty about spending my time with Tom??Why?After all, this is our life's reality, he, dating other women, while I date Tom.We could never intervene in each other’s life never.But he interrupted my date deliberately last time, shouldn’t I also do something?A thought occurred in my mind wickedly.Should I give him tit for tat??Should I make him taste his own medicine??BUT(Don’t forget he’s a rich Bastard, Amy)All my rebellious nature instantly dissipated with my inner voice's revelation.Sighing in defeat, I patted my face with a wet towel.I should just remain focused on my date and my future.Derek isn’t my future, and he has made it evident not once but many times.Helpless and defeated with my heart’s emotions, I left the restroom and instantly spotted the familiar shadow who was probably waiting for me.“Y
After things calmed down between us and so our breathing, my consciousness finally returned.“Come to my place, tonight.”Derek said hoarsely and then finally stood from me as I let out a breath.That man was truly as huge as a bear when it comes to putting his weight on me.“No…” Back to his command, I refused him instantly.“Why?” He asked with innocent blankness as he started to tidy his clothes.“Why should I listen to you?” I argued in an ill-tempered state and his eyes on my disheveled appearance told me exactly why I should listen to him.JERKIgnoring his gaze, I started to tidy my clothes, and before I could leave, Derek’s hand took hold of me pulling me closer to him.I intended to argue more when silently, his hand raised to fix my hair while I watched him intently.“Please come…” He requested out of his nature.“Derek, don’t force me…” I took a deep sigh in defeat.This man could never accept a refusal easily, never.He gave me a deep silent stare, and I felt like he would
“Bastard?? I don’t appreciate such foul language from you regarding me, Miss Hood…” Derek said strictly and ignoring his strict aura I punched him harshly in the chest.“Why didn’t you tell me that day that you were leaving, huh…??”I continued my complaining.“You refused me, Amy…And besides you were furious at that time…” He explained and I rolled my eyes unhappily.“I am still furious with you…”I fisted his shirt in my hand and pulled him closer while gritting my teeth in fury for the evident show.His eyes dropped to my face, as he spoke with a meaningful look, “I can see that…”But that wasn’t enough for my anger to subside, hence, I did the crazy thing to vent my anger on him.THUDThe bouquet in his hand dropped from the intensity of my kiss on his lips, and I felt his hold getting tight on the balloons he was holding while his other hand wrapped around my waist pressing his hard body firmly into mine.The longing of his was so unbearable for me, I shouldn’t be accepting this
“Hmm…” I groaned in my sleep when my nostrils filled with the delicious smell of food.And soon, my stomach protested for the food.“Arghh…” Groaning unhappily, I sat up and found myself all cold in the bed because my warmth, Derek Shepherd, was nowhere to be seen.I sat on the bed blankly for a moment, my body seemed sore and my mind too dizzy, and then after a while adjusting my mood, I finally stood up.My clothes were scattered on the ground and so was Derek’s prestigious towel making my face heat with the reminder of my bold actions last night.Instead of picking up my clothes from the ground, I simply took his shirt which was neatly placed on the sofa chair.“Oh…”Descending stairs was a painful task for me, I never knew lovemaking would hurt that badly.Frowning, I reached the kitchen and till this time, my stomach had already surrendered to the food, I was starving madly.In his all glorious state. Derek stood with his back on me and his limbs moved around the stove gracefully
This was the most foolish remark Derek has made ever and I needed to dismiss it.“There would be nothing as “OURS” Derek Shepherd, I would rather die than give birth to your child…” I responded with shame and foolishness and his face fell into darkness.“Fair enough, not that I am looking forward to any child.I can’t handle you, what would happen to the kids, huh?I am no fool…” He scoffed, adding to my anger.“Yes, because you are a Dick..” I snapped and at my remark, his lips lifted menacingly.“So then allow me to use it, no??”And before I could put my refusal bluntly, he captured my lips again, this time not to shut me up but to devour me fully.I fell into silence as soon as his hands started to take charge of my body and I lost my battle very soon with him.There would be no way I could step away from him, he won’t let me, nor do I want to.Hence, silently I agreed to be his secret lover.The most absurd addition to our dangerous relationship.SIGH****After our steamy sessio
“Prague??” Derek was busy doing something in which I clearly put no effort to see because my eyes were going to the clock after each passing second.“With Elle, hmm…” He murmured to himself.“And what about me?? Why not me??” His head tilted towards me with a deep frown of displeasure.OH, GOD !!“Because she is my friend and you are clearly not…”I provided him with the explanation and he gave me a deep look before he returned to whatever he was doing.God, could he be more annoying??“Derek, if you’re done then let’s go to bed, I can’t be out late…” I told him anxiously and his brow raised in doubt.“You want sex??”And it filled my cheeks with shame.Wow, am I a hungry creature or him??“You wanted me to Thank You, remember??” I put more effort into the “Thank You” so he would get the unsaid meaning of it.But, instead, he just added another frown on his forehead.“I didn’t invite you here for the sex” He looked wounded by my words, what did I say wrong?“So then??” I urged.“I cal
Seeing me anxious, Elle too sat up straight and looked at me in concern, “Is everything okay??”I was still typing my reply to Derek when I responded to her with a casualty, “I thought I just saw Derek…”“The boss??” Elle looked at me in doubt.“Yes, he was on our floor…” I replied still busy on my phone when Elle told me something unexpected.“How could that be? Just now, my colleague told me the Boss has organized a meeting for every staff member…You must have taken him for another person, Amy…”If I was having a slight doubt about my misunderstanding, Elle’s words proved that it was just a misunderstanding, that’s all.That man was definitely not Derek but only my misconception.Or maybe I have started to miss him too much…With that depressing thought, I let the thoughts of that man vanish from my mind.****Prague is a beautiful place and a walkable city. Just after a few minutes by bus, we all started to walk.The tour started with an old Hill climb to see Prague Castle. It was
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
