Nina was trying to sleep, but she couldn't. She had so many things in her head that it made her restless, eating away her sleep. She got up from the bed."God! Why can't I sleep?" She muttered, frustrated.Her eyes then fell on Lucian who was snoring loudly and the sounds of the snore were echoing in the room. "So, the monster snores," she rolled her eyes. She stood up and walks towards Lucian's bed. He was sleeping peacefully and it felt like even an atomic explosion could wake him up now."He sleeps like a dinosaur," she giggled and then walked out of the room. As she got out, she was surprised. The entire mansion was silent as if no one lived here. She hasn't seen it in such a silence earlier so it made her think that is something wrong here."Where's everyone? Guards always stroll this place then," she looked here and there in search of guards.Yes, she didn't like the place because of obvious reasons but she knew that she had to live here for at least a few months even if she
After burning Edward Alive, Lucian looked at his ashes. A drop of tear peeked out through his eyes.Wilson noticed that."Boss, are you okay?" Wilson tapped Lucian's shoulders."I don't know," Lucian sighed, shifting his haze from the ashes."You can tell me about everything, boss," Wilson replied with a mild smile."I know that," Lucian replied, "it's just that."At that moment, Nina's face appeared in front of him."That woman, Nina... She is changing me slowly," Lucian ratified. "What?" Wilson was surprised."Hmm... You know, when I saw Jasper taking care of Edward and then I saw Nina's face, her fearful eyes, trembling lips, shivering body, drops of tear in her cheeks, I felt the rage to let Jasper handle him," Lucian looked at Wilson."Jasper?" Wilson was surprised."Jasper would have killed Edward just by hammering him as much as he could. The pain would be unbearable to Edward and it would be gruesome. I wanted to let Jasper do that because in no way I was letting Edward go aw
A few days passed by, Nina took some time to recover from whatever Edward did to her, but just because Jasper stood by her side, she was able to recover fully and retained her true self. Also, this wouldn't have been possible if Lucian hadn't behaved properly. As he promised, he didn't raise his hand on Nina despite her badmouthing him, he kept his patience. On the other hand, Jasper's treatment was progressing. Lucian too met with the doctor for a couple of days just to understand what's going on with his brother. And as Dr Issac stated about Jasper's condition to Lucian, he felt remorse for treating Jasper in such a bad way, for not caring him enough, for letting him suffer and for the first time, for not listening to Rebecca. The care Lucian had for his brother before everything went wrong between them was returning now. Lucian took great care of Jasper and Jasper, he slowly started behaving nicely with Lucian, maybe not forgiving him for what he did, but still, accepting him as
"Jas... Jas... Listen to me... Calm down... I am here, with you. Calm down, baby," Nina caressed Jasper's hairs and tried her best to calm him down as Jasper was crying bitterly. Jasper held Nina tight, as he kept on crying. While Nina patiently consoled him. The remembrances of everything that he endured, the remorse he felt after committing the offences, the way he was being manipulated and everything else was bestowing him immense pain and he let all that pain shake out through his tears and cries. Lucian waited desperately outside Jasper's room for Nina to come out. He was getting impatient after every passing minute."Why isn't she coming out," she scoffed.Mohit was worried about Jasper and Nina. He believed that Nina could calm him and provide him with the support he needed. But he was scared that what if Lucian sees them and suspects something else. How would he react to it?"It's enough, I am going in," Lucian shrugged and went towards the room."Wait, Mr Frederick," Dr Is
"Very good... Just remember if you defy me, I can destroy your entire existence," Rebbeca warned Nina."Ye... Yes ma'am," Nina stuttered.Rebecca hung up the call while Nina kept her phone aside. "What kind of a mess am I in?" She felt like crying but controlled her tears. She knew that she had to be strong or else the kind of place she is in, darkness would consume her and she won't be able to get back again to her old life.After spending an hour alone, she went to her room. As she entered the room, she saw that Lucian wasn't there. She took a deep breath and walked towards the bar. It was a tough day and she needed a shot. After having a shot of her favourite vodka, she settles down on the study table to complete some of her official work that's when she spotted a letter beside her laptop. It was from Lucian. She picked it up and started reading it.'Hey, I think whatever you said, it was right. A shitty past doesn't give me a license to behave in such a way in the present. But
Lucian glared at Nina when she said that and then she noticed his deadly stare and stopped laughing. She held her mouth close with her hands."Oops, I should go," she spoke and then ran away from the room."Hey wait," Lucian spoke, but by then, she had already escaped the room.Lucian then sighed and thought about her crazy words."She is cute," he told himself.The next day, Nina went to the city for the first time after her wedding. She wasn't allowed to leave the mansion for a second, but now, she was roaming in the city, alone and freely. First of all, she went to her favourite cafe for lunch. She met a few friends there. They were their office colleagues."So, where have you been? Mrs Linda told us you're working from home," Sasha, one of her friends asked."Shit happens. So yeah," Nina avoided saying the actual reason. "Come on, what do you think? You can hide it from us? We know that you married Lucian Frederick," Emily teased her.Nina scoffed after hearing this, but she dec
The moment Jasper saw them in such a compromised situation. He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, just to see them kissing for real.Tears started flooding in his eyes as he tried his best not to cry. But could he even stop himself? He pressed his mouth with his palms in order to refrain himself from making any noise. He couldn't believe that Nina would do such a thing to him. On the other hand, Lucian finally got to taste Nina's lips with her consent and it tasted extraordinary. He found himself in such a position where he was lacking air but wasn't able to pause or stop kissing her. He didn't want to leave those lips even for a second. He pulled Nina closer and kissed her passionately. He willingly nibbled Nina's lower lip as she let out a moan. When she parted her lips, he entered his tongue into her mouth, tasting every inch of her mouth.But Nina had her eyes close, it felt like whatever Lucian was doing to her, she was uncomfortable and unwilling. She fe
After a couple of hours, Nina found herself lying on the bathroom floor, shivering in cold. She had fallen unconscious due to crying too much.She somehow managed to get up, dry herself up with a towel and slowly walked out of the bathroom. As she entered the room, she saw Lucian, sleeping peacefully with a smile plastered on his face. That smile made her realise that no matter how hard she tried, how hard she fought, in the end, she had to give up, she had to lose this battle.Tears started streaming down from her eyes once again. But this time, she couldn't make any noise. She had to cry silently. She somehow picked up her clothes from the floor, wore them and walked towards her bed. She was shivering badly because she felt cold and the temperature of the AC was low as well. She wrapped herself nicely with her quilt and wept to sleep. But was it even possible that she could have a good night sleep?The next morning, Lucian slowly opened his eyes, waking himself up just to see Nin
