“Can’t a person love someone without wanting to have their body in return?” Hearing her, he went completely wordless. Lifting her both hands, she fisted the front of his shirt in a soft and gentle grip. Her teary eyes remain glued with his. “I just wanted that kind of care and love from him because I don't want to be alone. No person in this world wants to be alone because loneliness hurts more than any kind of physical wound. It feels like a painful curse,” Nina continued to reveal everything that had been harming her from deep inside.“I just didn't want to be alone so I trusted him over you last night but you are accusing me here like that I was the one who made him do all of this? You are behaving with me like I told him to do that brutality with me?” Nina raised her voice at him again, recalling everything he had said to her a little while ago. She tightened her grip around his shirt.“You are making me feel like I am responsible for almost getting destroyed by the only person
“Rican…..” that voice made both of them turn their heads towards the door and they both turned stunned, seeing that person in front of them, especially Nina. She immediately hid her naked self behind him and clutched his arm tightly, both in fear and nervousness.Extremely embarrassed, Nina peaked her head while hiding herself behind him and looked at that woman who was standing at the door. Nina had seen her somewhere before and she immediately recalled she was his elder sister, Flora Alfanso. Nina had seen her pictures in the Alfanso residence. But the most horrifying thing was that his sister caught her standing in her brother's arms completely naked. How worse and embarrassing this could turn out now? She didn't even want to think about the thoughts his sister might be getting now by seeing them in a state like this.Rican found his sister sighing and then looking away from them. “Come outside. Momma, papa are here,” Rican heard his sister informing them and then she darted her g
“What relation do you have with her?” hearing that question of Cain's mother, Nina teared up more because she knew that question had been directed to not just only her character but his too. His character was getting questioned just because he protected her from getting ruined completely.“Why have you taken her here and why did she spend her night here with you when you don't even prefer your own parents to come here?” Rican gritted his teeth, hearing that question of Niley. It was true, after losing his wife, he barely allowed anyone to come here in his house because from the past seven years, he had been preferring staying alone over getting anyone's company, even over his own parents' support.“What kind of relationship do you both have with each other, Rican?” Niley snarled in her angry and accusing tone and that was where he finally decided to break his silence.“A kind of relationship which we don't find the necessity of describing to anyone,” he answered, still in his calm and
“Even after being my no one, he successfully makes me trust him more than my own self,” Nina's words came straight out of her heart. Yes, that was the truth. After whatever had happened last night, the way he took care of her, protected her, all of that had started making Nina trust him more than her own self because somehow now she had started believing that for once, her own shadow could betray her but he would not.Tears silently flew down from her eyes as she peered into his dark brown eyes which were already on her. Her hold turned more rigid around his arm and then Nina shifted her eyes back at Cain's mother.“The relationship we both have with each other is trust. That sinless trust which never dares to cross those forbidden boundaries between us which you are accusing me of crossing with him, Mrs Solaene,” Nina spat at Niley. Anger was boiling in her veins.“And I know being his mother, you are definitely going to trust your son over everyone just like I trusted your son over
Taking her inside his room, he placed her down on the bed and looked at her face. Tears were streaming down from her flushed face. Her mouth was slightly parted as she was trying to breathe through it. Her whole body had tensed up after seeing that blood. She was looking petrified. He wondered what had made her like this? She got terrified just at the mere sight of blood but why? It might have something to do with her past or why would a person have such kind of bad trauma of blood?Exhaling a soft sigh, he placed his palm over her head.“You are fine. Stop worrying, Nina,” he said to her in his calm and tender voice while gently stroking her head which made Nina take her head upward slowly to look at him.“Breath. You are alright,” he gave her the assurance she had been needing to hear the most at that time. His words brought more tears in Nina's eyes, witnessing someone had really started understanding her the way she had always needed. Without being able to say anything to him, sh
“She is going to stay here with me,” his words were loud and clear enough for every single person present inside the room, to hear properly. His words stunned everyone, especially Nina. Did she hear him correctly? He wanted her to stay with him after everything? But why?Nina was busy peering at Rican who was already staring at her but Flora's voice made their gazes break apart.“Don’t you think it's necessary for you to take Nina's approval on this before making this decision for her, Rican?” Flora uttered the obvious which made everyone look at her.“I mean…. after everything, she might not feel comfortable staying here with y….”“I know she wants to stay here,” Rican spoke, halting his sister in the middle but his words widened Nina's eyes. She looked at him, startled, especially witnessing that confidence and assurity in his eyes. How did he know that she was wanting to stay here? Was he capable of reading her mind too? “How could you be so sure of that? What if she didn't want t
His gaze landed on that dark mark on her right inner thigh which he had never seen or probably had never noticed before because he had never paid proper attention to her entire body, even in that moment when she was standing completely naked in front of him and in his arms. He didn't dare to ever look at her nakedness in any way until right now when his eyes fell on that mark on her inner thigh which was looking like some kind of burn mark. It seemed really very deep but old. It had almost worn a cover of a dark scar.Nina was peering at him when she noticed his eyes getting stuck over something. She followed his gaze and it took her to her lower region where she saw she was mostly exposed from there as the shirt she had been wearing had tugged upward mistakenly but her eyes widened, seeing that mark on her thigh getting exposed. Nina snapped her eyes upward and found his gaze which was still fixed at her mark. Immediately Nina pulled down her shirt and covered her mark and lower reg
“You will have to stay here with this devil for the rest of your life, mi reina,” Rican whispered in her ear with the only motive to tease and annoy her as much as possible but he was not aware in that moment that how deeply those words of his and his behaviour were affecting her, especially her heart and what they were making her feel. It was just a play of annoying her for him but for her, it was everything but a game to play or to get played.Tilting her head slowly, Nina looked at him. Her cerulean eyes met with his dark brown gaze and in that moment, Nina felt like her heart had stopped beating completely. Every single thing around her had frozen. The time seemed to stop all of a sudden for her just by looking into his eyes. Nina had never felt something like this with anyone or for any person. It was a kind of feeling which was tingling every single part of her body, including her heart. Nina continued to peer into his brown eyes until ‘Aah….I…I love you so much….’ those word
