AZRA
Two weeks later!
Well, the past few weeks have been normal, nothing much has happened between Kian and I... except the fact we've been on each others neck. Me on the other hand have been trying to get Kian's attention for some unknown reason but it doesn't seem to be working. Even when I wear skimpy clothing, he'll look indifferent at me. I thought he was only trying to hide it but I found out last night that he isn't interested in me at all. When I noticed he's back from work, I rushed into the bathroom to dress up in some transparent nightgown before walking out of the bathroom.
"Oh hey, you're back?"I asked pretending to be surprised.
His eyes locked on mine, he glanced down at my body, shrugged then he continued taking off his suit.
"Yeah, what
~ HAYDEN's pov ~It's been two months since Nadine started living with me and f*ck me if I say I'm not affected by it.I've tried my possible best to let her feel comfortable by leaving early in the morning and show up at midnight.Of course, that wasn't what I wanted, as time goes on, I found myself been drawn to her, I usually felt curious wanting to know what she was doing at all times.I usually watch her through the CCTV camera at the office. Hm, she'll think I'm creepy if she finds out but whatever, I can't help myself.Recently, she's been asking about the house which I had promised to rent for her, hmph, the house has been ready for over a month plus now but my answer is always"No dear, you know it isn't easy to get a good apartment here, I'm still searching."Shrugs!It's not like I'll let her go now. Her cooking is superb, perceiving the aroma will make your
KIAN's POVDamnit!It's over, my father-in-law has finally killed me. I mean, who gives out cond*ms these days? If he were my friend, It would have been kinda better but he's not!!I breathed out relieved when he moved away from me. However, the relief was short-lived cause he handed another box to me again.I stiffened. I gaze at the box suspiciously then back at him, then I glanced at my dad who was giving Azra something.Dad gave me a sly smile like he what's coming my way. I sighed, seriously what's wrong with these two old men?Why can't they just mind their business?Opening the box, Mr. Williams came closer and half-whispered"This drugs will make you last for hours during the you... know...what" he gave me a meaningful look."Gosh! Mr. Williams!!!"Azra shouted.He made an innocent face"What princess? Daddy's only looking out for you, I'm sure you like all the gifts your
~ KIAN's pov ~I woke up the next day with a serious headache. "Ugh my head, how did I get in here?"I sat up, glanced at the time to discover it was past 11 in the morning. Fuck!! I'm late for work.How could I have slept in?I turned to the right to see Az sleeping peacefully. My eyes caught on a red stain on the sheets making me freeze.The hell?I didn't force myself on her, did I?In other to confirm, I slowly raised the duvet from her body only to see her stark naked. Not only that, I can see bruises on her skin.Oh shit!What have I done?Just then, she rolled over and her eyes opened. She winced slightly making my heart ache. Damn it!! I f*cked up!!She shrank back when she met my gaze which shows she's afraid of me. Oh God, did I hurt her that much?"Azra, I'm so
~ JAZMINE's pov~Waking up the next day, I thought about what I did last night and flushed.Gosh!I can't believe I acted so cheap, I actually forced myself on him and he... He rejected me! He did that even when I was almost nude in front of him. How awesome is that? He was right about one thing though, I would have hated myself and him if we did it.It's a good thing he stopped.Thinking about how he tucked me to bed made my heart warm. I'll admit that Aaron is a nice guy, he's totally different from Daniel.I can't believe I've been acting rudely towards him for the past few months but now I'm going to change It, starting right now.Lesley was right, I need to give him a chance, maybe he's my Mr right...who knows?I went to the bathroom, did my morning business, and showered. A
~ AZRA's pov ~His eyes ran down my body "That's right, I didn't get a chance to see you properly last night. But I will today" his eyes locked on mine "Strip."I let go of her hand and waited patiently for her. Yeah, you could say I'm still mad. I thought I'll be able to vent out my anger by going out but looking at her face, I suddenly became mad.She bit her lips pitifully"I already admit that I'm wrong. I shouldn't have done that Kian, I'm sorry. Look, I'll do anything you want, anything... just don't raise your voice at me okay? I know behaved foolishly last night but you can't blame me for this, will you? I was lonely, curious and I wanted you! But what did you do? You keep putting me at arm's length, with only me in this mansion where else do you want me to go? What else did you expect me to do? Of course, it's to come up with this idea" I yelled with tears streaming down my face.
"Surprise? What's that?"He grinned and showed me papers "I found a solution for your staying at home problems.""You did?" I blink taking the papers from his hands."Yeah, after thinking it through, I realize it isn't right for you to stay at home all by yourself, if you had a certificate, it'd have been much easier for you to get a job or something. So why don't you further your education?Your dad said you passed your GPA scores are high so I applied for a university here in California, it's one of the best universities here I'm sure you'll love it. And oh yes, I chose your favorite course, arts. I never knew you liked drawing. So, what do you say? Do you like it?" he asked excitedly.One minute passed, I didn't say anything. The second... Third..."Azra? Say something..."After digesting what he just said, I became somewhat flustered. "Wait what? You alread
Aaron's Pov"You're so cute" she muttered kissing me on the cheek. We both gasp, surprised by her actions.After asking if she trusted me, she answered"Yes."I kissed her while pretending to make out by the roadside, that was how we escaped. Right now, we're standing on the porch when she suddenly kissed my cheeks.I watched as her face heated "Uh i... I'll be going inside" she said and quickly entered the house.I shook my head, chuckling as she left. Yeah, I must admit, Jazmine is fun to be around.I was still thinking about this when I perceived something, gas.Why the hell am I perceiving gas?Suddenly, I remembered Daniel and cursed. "Shit!! Jazmine!!"I rushed inside the house, to see her standing in a daze. Without thinking, I pushed her to the ground, using my hand to support her, and then covered her with my body."Boom!"Just then, the gas from the kitchen
~ AZRA's pov ~Five girls surrounded me the moment I alighted my bike."Hmm look who we have here if it isn't Aria. Didn't we warn you not to return to this school again?"I glanced at everyone one of them, took my helmet with me, and instead of answering, I ignored them while strolling to the school entrance."Hold on, did she just ignore me? And where on earth did she get this bike from? Aria, stop right there!!!"I was still walking when someone pushed me. I stumbled, before I could catch my balance, another person slapped me hard on the face.My fist clenched. Okay, that's it.I stared at the girl who hit me for a while before asking"Did you just hit me?"She raised her brows "Obviously, and I'll do it again and again if you don't give me a reason for returning""Apologize, "I said
THREE MONTHS LATER"Hey, are you ready?" Azra asked Kian, her husband. After the incident in Houston, they did their white wedding the following month. They wanted to get married that very week but couldn't because they were mourning Natalie's death.Thinking about it now, Azra sighed in sorrow. Though she didn't exactly like Natalie for her behavior but she never wished she'd die. It's even sadder after hearing what Natalie went through in the hands of Sung Ho and she gave her life for Kian, that alone made Azra respect her.Right now, they were outside her family house. Mr. Williams had invited everyone over for a small party, including Hayden and Nadine. Only Kian's dad didn't make it because of his injury. Josephine and Mandy were also invited. Azra has a feeling she's going to be her stepmom soon, it's just a matter of time.Kian was nervous about going in because he's finally going to meet his father-in-law. When
KIAN's pov ~After getting everything ready, Natalie and I went to the address my uncle sent me."Are you sure this is the right thing to do? Don't you think you should call the cops?"" Then we wouldn't get the opportunity to get him arrested! He finally found my weakness and he's using it against me! The first thing we need to do is to ensure Azra is safe then notify the cops to take him away. And you... Natalie, you shouldn't be here.""Pfft, says who? I have every right to be here."Shaking my head, I got out of the car "We are here."She joined me and we both walked into the field until we heard a voice from outright."Welcome nephew, I've been waiting for you and ohh, Natalie I've been searching for you everywhere, never would have thought Kian was hiding you even after what you did to his wife or sorry no, his wife's twin sister...""Where is she?" I cut in while glaring at the man who
HAYDEN's povNadine and I drove home after that, I couldn't help but anticipate the surprise she has for me.It can't be that she wants to finally leave me right?Or pack her things?I know she's been saving, she's capable of renting an apartment now, I won't be able to do anything if she wants to leave.The thought made me heartache.I guess I can't force her to love me, I can't impose my feelings on her either, I just have to let go."What... What was that back there?" I asked taking off my mind from heartbreaking thoughts."Oh! It's Azra actually, we didn't want to say our findings to him. He needs to find out himself.""Your findings? What did you find out?"She shrugs but didn't reply."You're not going to tell me too? I'm her brother, not her husband!""Exactly! You're her brother! You might react worst than her husband, who knows?"I
"Azra is pregnant?" I asked again to no one in particular.My eyes went to her sister who held Arian in a tight grip."Does she know about this?""Umm... I, well" she scratched her head" she found out today...""And?" I pressed on waiting for her to continue. Why do I feel like there's more?"And... Oh, Arian? Let's go, you promised we'll go sightseeing!"My brows knitted together. Sightseeing? At night? What kind of excuse is that?My brother smiled at her"Oh yes beauty, but I can't remember when I promised that!"She glared at him and he quickly rephrases "I mean, oh yes! Let's go!"I scowled as they both rushed out. My gaze fell on Nadine waiting for an explanation."And? She found out she's pregnant but did she even plan on telling me about it? What was her reaction?""The thing is... You'll know that when she wakes up. Hayden? Let's go, I have a surprise for you.""Really?"I
AZRA's povWhen I woke up late that evening only to find Aria and Nadine were sitting on the bed looking beautiful. They were both dressed up in short dresses, Nadine's was blue while Aria's black. I couldn't see the design on it because they weren't facing my way."Uh... Are you guys going out?"They both look at themselves as if they were having a silent discussion.Then Aria came to my side "You're up, good. Get up, I'll help you shower. Nadine, get her clothes."I frown"Help me shower?"When did Aria get the nerve to see someone nude? I could only stare at her strangely"Who are you ad what have you done to my sister?"The last time I undressed in front of her, she panicked."Pfft, oh please, don't start with me Azra, now come on, we're already late as it is, Hayden will be back any minute now."That was when I remembered we had to go to the club"What time is it?" I asked taking o
KIAN'S povI was in my office preparing for my last meeting for the day so I can catch a flight to Houston. I can't wait to meet Azra, I purposely refused to call her, I want to surprise her with my presence, I just hope her anger has lessened.I checked the time again to see it's past 1 pm. Oh God, I think I'll just cancel It. I need to get there before evening, I told Hayden to take her out, I'll meet them there.I was about to inform my assistant when he knocked on my door."Sir, there's someone here to see you."Ugh..."Do they have an appointment?""No–""Good, tell them I don't want to see anyone and cancel today's meeting. You can postpone all my activities till further notice.""Okay, sir."Once he left, I stood up and was putting on my jacket when someone barged into my office.What the heck..."I'm so sorry sir, she said it's urgent and did
NATALIE's povI sat in the plane the next day waiting for the guards which Sung-ho, my adoptive father placed on me, to get distracted so I can escape.I won't let that man use me the way he wants and then get me married to an old man. No way. Right now I'm furious at him, more than that self, I want to get revenge on him for how he treated him. He didn't even bat an eyelid when I begged. I saw it in his eyes, he had already made his decision.I've always hoped that he'll someday change and treat me like his real daughter, to show some fatherly love to me, I do my best to please him but it's all in vain. He used me and now I'm going to get my revenge back, even if it means helping his enemy – Kian.Last night, after he left me in the living room, I saw his study open and went to check it out. You wouldn't believe what I found. His
AZRA's povKelly took me to a pub, it was awkward between us because I didn't know what to say to him. I can't stay mad at him either because one doesn't control how he feels.Love just happens.Though, I wonder when he started having feelings for me."Azra look, I know Kian must've told you how I feel about you but the truth is, I won't change anything about it. I don't want you to feel weird because of my feelings for you. I love you, yes but I won't impose it on you. I wanted to tell you how I felt so that you'll know about it, I know it won't change anything cause you're in love with someone else already."I nodded."You are right about that Kelly, I'm sorry but I won't be able to return your feelings, I love you as a friend. I hope you find a girl who loves you equally."He forced a smile"Yeah let's hope, anyway, I called you here to tell you that I'm living. I've decided to jo
~ JAZMINE's pov ~Oh God, this is bad.Really bad. I thought as Aaron busted in the room.What is he doing here?I watched in horror as he took me in, seeing the disgust in his eyes as he saw my widened leg, I felt like digging the ground to enter.I badly wanted to shut my legs but my body won't listen to me.I could only watch what was going on around me in shame. I caused this for myself, I stupidly believed I could talk some sense into Daniel but I was so stupid.I got hurt in the end.I watched as Daniel picked up his towel from the floor to tie but before he could wrap it around his waist, Aaron rushed to him."You flee-brained cóck sucking bastard!!" He threw a punch at Daniel – the force, sending him crashing to the floor.Before Dan could react, he kicked him again and again
