~ ARIA's pov~
I was laying in my room when I heard a knock on my door. "Ari? Are you in there?"
It was Mandy.
Sighing, I went to unlock the door for her."Hey"
She glared at me"Hey? Just hey? Is that the only thing you have to say?"
I frown"Uh yeah? Why do you look so mad? Did something happened at school?"
"Why do I look mad?" she puffed up her face"You even need to ask that? Don't you know what you've done?"
I didn't reply. I could only stare at her feeling confused. What did I do now?
Mandy and I are besties, more like sisters. We hardly fight or quarrel so it's weird seeing her this way.
"Firstly, this morning, you asked me who am I. That wasn't enough, you also left school without waiting for me? Ari, when did you start doing that? And what's with all t
~ Aaron's pov ~It's been a week after the fire incident and everything has been going well a little. The police haven't found any trace of Daniel which left Jazmine in a constant state of fear.She even took a month's leave from work.The next day, we went back to her house to check the remains of what was left. Thank goodness the fire service came on time so most of her things were safe, most.Even at that, we didn't go back to the house, we remained at the hotel.Right now, we were both sitting in front of the television, with popcorn in hand, searching for the movie we would watch."Oh yes, let's watch this cartoon, The Simpsons.""Hell no! Choose something else.""Barbie?""No"
~ KIAN's pov ~It was midnight already and Azra hasn't unlocked the door yet. I glanced at the spare key in my hand wondering if I should go in or not.In the end, I sighed and unlocked the door. Azra wasn't inside the room, the balcony door was slightly ajar so I went there instead. She was leaning on the wall looking so frail. I hugged her from behind and kissed her hair, inhaling her sweet honey scent."I'm sorry about earlier, I shouldn't have said that""No, I'm sorry" she turned so she looks at him, my heartache slightly when I saw her red eyes "you know, I've always thought of Kelly as my friend, sometimes my elder brother so I don't usually care about what I wear in his presence. I didn't do it Internationally, I promise Kay"I hugged her tightly"It's okay, I understand. Come on let
Azra's povWhen I arrived at Kian's company, no one stopped me this time around. I waited for the lift but it was taking time so I used the stairs instead. I was breathing by the time I arrived at his office. The office was opened, a guy was talking to Kian. I know this guy, he's the guy I threw out of the car when I first met Kian. They both turned upon seeing me. Kian was the first to react."Holy shit Az! What happened to you?"I crouched down holding my tummy, gasping for air. He hurriedly picked me up and gave me a bottle of water."Were you running? Who was chasing you?"I gulped down the water and shook my head"No, I took the stairs.""Why didn't you use the lift?" he stared at me like I'm crazy."Ugh, because I wanted to see you?"He shook his head"Shouldn't you be in school?""No, we don't have anything today, I only copied my timet
I was about to pick up the purse but decided against it. No, I already promised her, I'll just have to wait till tomorrow.I went back to the bed and hugged her small body to mine. My hand rested on her perky bóòbs feeling so comfortable. That night, I slept peacefully like I haven't slept in years.*The next morning, I woke up with a start. Why do I feel like someone slapped me?I blinked the sleep away from my eyes only to see her holding a pillow up about hitting me with it.I quickly dodged."The f*ck Azra! What are you doing?""What am I doing? I should be asking what you were doing!"I stared at her, speechless. Just, what on Earth is going on?"What was I doing?"She pointed at my hand and then my little brother who poking out of my boxer"You were acting badly in your sleep!"Hearing this, I gazed at her in shock"So? We've already done something bad so why I can't do something bad in
At this time, in a dark room, a man starts on a chair taking a sip of tea from his mug. He was constantly monitoring every movement and everything happening between Kian and his brother, including Kian's company.A knock sounded on the door."Come in"A pretty young lady walked in"Master."It was Natalie! The girl who Azra caught with Kian in the club.The man's eyes slid over to her"Tell me what is happening with the two brothers, is everything going as planned?"Natalie sat down with a smile on her face" Of course Master, everything is going on as planned. I asked someone to publish the news this morning, we just have to wait and see how Kian will take it."The man gave her a satisfied smile"Very good, I just want to see if Kian truly loves that biker girl, if he does, he'll fight with his brother. I hope that happens cause he'll be distracted and we'll use that oppor
AZRA's pov"Good question Aria, you should know why I'm glaring at you" I retorted.She frowns but it looks like I was the one frowning.It made me feel weird all over."Um, did I do something wrong? We're just meeting each other right? By the way, you know my name so what's yours?""Azra" I answered after a while.Our eyes widened at the same time. It's no coincidence, our names sound the same!Aria and Azra. Okay, so what's going on? I remembered what brought me here and resumed glaring at her. She's the cause of all my current problems."Um, are we going to keep staring at ourselves? Why do we look so alike? Are we sisters?" she asked softly.I snorted"How would I know? You said it yourself, we haven't met before. Anyways, whether we've met before or not, my problem now is you need to come with me, you've caused enough problems for me as it is."My phone has bee
~ AZRA's pov ~I paced to and fro in the living room feeling anxious, nervous, and mad at the same time. I've forgotten what I came home for, the only thing on my mind is... Kian.Kian went out to meet that girl.He said he doesn't have anything to do with her but he rushed out to meet her the moment she called?And he... Damn! That bitch is up to no good. I know it.Arian moved closer to Aria and said"So, you were the one who kissed me?""Hmph, don't think too much about it, I did it for a dare okay? If you have another thought quickly forget it, I never meant for that to happen" she warned.I stopped in my tracks and faced Arian"Do you know her house?""No.""How long have they known each other? Do you think they were in a relationship?"He raised a brow"You're his wife, shouldn't you know all this?"I glared at him
Opening the door, my heart skipped when I found Azra standing there. How does she know I'm here?She stared at me with a bland face, not entirely surprised to see me. I remembered the scene from the video and glared at her, angrily."What are you doing here Azra?""I-I wanted to talk to about something..."I shook my head knowing it's about the video. I couldn't help but think about what Natalie said. Is Azra here to cause problems between me and my brother?No matter how he thinks about it, he just couldn't figure it out."Just leave Azra, I don't want to talk to you now."At that moment, Natalie came out. I cursed silently when I saw she's still in her robe. I saw the hurt in Azra's eyes but tried my best to ignore her."Ahh, Kian... It painful " Natalie sobbed.I snapped into action immediately rushing to her side"You shouldn't have come here, how bad is it?""She's pretending Kay" Azra
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
