“Done being a pervert, Ms. Halzen?” Nina's eyes widened, hearing his words. So he had been aware of her presence here all this time. How foolish of her to think she could keep her eyes on him and he would not even notice it. His senses worked more than that tiny size brain in her head. In fact, his senses worked overtime for him whereas her brain believed in staying on leave even on working days. Nina frowned, witnessing now she had started insulting her own brain because of him but wait…did he just call her a pervert? How dared he? Scowling, she dashed towards him and stood beside him. “Did you just call me a pervert?” She spat, glaring at him who was punching that punching bag more aggressively now. “If your last name is Halzen and you are a Ms. then I guess so,” he answered, without stopping his punches. His answer hardened her scowl whereas the fact that he was not giving his full attention to her, had started irritating her. “Shut up. I am not a pervert,” she retorted back.
“Are you a mafia?” Nina questioned him directly because that question came into her head after she connected a lot of dots. She saw him stop doing his workout and then he looked at her.“Like a mobster or mafia boss which we usually see in fiction?” She asked him, curiously.“And what makes you think like that?” He asked her, showing his genuine interest to know her answer. What had made her think about him like that?“Like ... .you can kill people so easily, you can fight, you have a gun and….”she paused and he saw her taking a thorough overview of his whole body with no hesitancy. Yeah ... .one of the most innocent creatures in existence. After satisfyingly scanning his entire body in front of him, Nina looked at his face.“I am never going to accept it again except for this time that you have such a kind of body and you are even quite intelligent and very sharp headed, so …” she elaborated and he just gave her an amused look. So her head worked beside thinking about arguing with h
“So I am not going to get your attention anymore, mi reina?” Nina heard him saying that to her. She knew he was using her words to lighten up her mood and somehow it successfully tingled her heart. He had started thinking and caring about her so much but it didn't mean she could forget so easily what he had just said to her and how he hurt her in that gym room of his. Rican waited for her reply or any reaction but she gave him none. He witnessed her trying to get up and attempting to leave from there but he grabbed her arm to stop her. “Nina, I….” “No, I don't want to hear anything from you anymore,” she finally opened her mouth and turned around to look at him. He saw her eyes still shedding tears which had turned a bit red now. Her cheeks and the tip of her nose had also reddened. “It's so easy for you to always say such bad things to me,” she spat at him, tearing up more. “You have called me a beggar, a wanton, a girl who can sleep with any man for money and now this….” Nina b
He entered his house and found her sitting on the floor of his hall while leaning her head against a sofa. Her eyes were closed whereas her arms were hugging her knees which made him sigh heavily. Even her sitting posture was telling him how much hurt she was.Rican was about to walk closer to her when he heard his phone ringing. He took out his phone from his pants pocket and saw the doctor who checked her that night, her name, Dr Alison, was flashing on his screen. “Hello,” He picked up her call.“Mr Alfanso? Actually I called you to inform you that Ms. Nina's blood test reports have come,” she informed him. The doctor was supposed to inform him about Nina's blood reports yesterday but she couldn't because of some uncertain reasons which she told him yesterday.“Is everything alright?” He asked her with no hesitancy.“Yes, the test reports are showing that the drug which had been infused in her body has caused some harm to some of her fertility and other hormones because the dosage
“I get punished by someone for doing nothing to them,” she breathed out. Her voice came out as a shivering whisper but was piercing enough to get peered inside his very existence.His utterly numbed gaze remained glued at her watery hues which were continuously dripping tears of pain, anger and might be even hatred. He saw that glimpse of hatred in her eyes for that person who had turned her life into a living nightmare completely in that moment when she might not even be aware of the real meaning of life. He caught hatred in her pain and anger for that person who punished her at that moment when she was not even properly aware of the difference between virtue and sin. He saw hatred in her existence for that person who destroyed her completely and that person was standing right in front of her but the irony was she was not even aware of it.“This is the reason I am terrified of showing myself to anyone. This is the reason I never felt comfortable getting closer to anyone because I kno
Nina didn't even notice for how long she continued to remain clung in his arms. Her face was buried into the crook of his neck whereas her arms were tightly holding onto his back. Her naked body was pressed against his uncovered one with no inch of distance between them which made him clutch the mattress beneath them. His arms refused to hold her back but they didn't try to push her away either because he knew she needed him to win over her own fears and he was giving her what she needed just because he was the existence of those tears of hers. She continued to hug him until his phone beeped and it took Nina back to her senses. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed how she was practically squeezing him in her bare embrace. Her cheeks heated up in embarrassment because this time, not only was she naked but he was also shirtless and this was the very first time she was touching him with no shred of clothing. Her naked bosoms were pressed against his hardened chest which brought more co
“It's pleasure to finally meet you, Mr Alfanso,” Rican heard their client saying to him with a beam on his face and saw his extended hand in his direction for a handshake. Sending him a curt nod, he shook his hand with him. “Please, have a seat gentlemen,” Ameline said to all the men present inside that meeting room as she was the spokesperson of that meeting. All the men nodded at her and joined their seats, except for Rican which made Ameline look at him.Ameline noticed that he was looking a bit distracted as it was evident in his face that his attention was not present here in this meeting which had never happened before. Rican had never shown leniency towards his professional life. Secretly clutching his hand, Ameline shook it which took Rican finally out of his thoughts. He looked at her and found Ameline signalling him to join his chair as each pair of eyes were on him and they all were waiting for him to join his seat. Sending her a nod, he sat on his chair.“Let's begin th
After he left home without eating anything, Nina returned to her room and continued to stay there throughout the day. While thinking about why his behaviour turned so cold towards her suddenly, she fell asleep and woke up with the noise of window pane slamming. Nina woke up from her sleep with that noise and noticed that a storm had come outside and the windows of her room were open. She looked at the wall clock and it was already 6 in the evening. She slept the entire afternoon. With a soft sigh, she stepped down from the bed but as soon as she placed her feet on the ground, Nina felt her head suddenly spin. Her head was even feeling heavy. She squeezed her eyes in order to numb that aching in her head and went to close the windows of her room. Nina looked outside and found the sky was engulfed with dark clouds and even shiny lights were scattering all over it. The weather had turned bad, so she decided to go outside her room to check if all the windows and doors in the house were
