"Will you marry me, Damien Karlson?" Every single pair of eyes present at that place widened, hearing those words from her mouth. Cia looked at her daughter stunned. She walked towards her and grabbed her arm. "Zia…. what are you saying?" She stated, turning her around. A tear slipped from Zia's eyes by looking and hearing her mother but she again tilted her head to look at him. "I made this decision for my marriage so I will get married today at any cost," she uttered, gazing at him. Cia turned stunned at her daughter's words. "Zia, marriage is not a joke. You can't just…." "But my life is, mum," Zia halted her mother. "My life has turned into a joke in front of everyone and before everyone starts playing with it or making fun of it, I need to stop all of this," Zia uttered before focusing her gaze again on Damien. "So tell me, Damien….will you marry me?" Damien didn't part his lips to speak a single word. "Zia, what are you even saying?" Dylan held her arm and made her loo
After everything, Zale cut short the wedding ceremony time and rituals and straight took the couple and rest of his family inside his manor. After what happened today and by witnessing his daughter's state, he decided that his daughter was going to stay here in his manor till she didn't feel like going away from here to live with her husband. Cia wasn't ready to agree to this but didn't defy her husband further and ended up agreeing to him and even Damien didn't try to crosscut Zale's decision because he could clearly see that Zia wanted that too. "But Cia….""Shut up, Zae. Don't behave so irrationally," Cia cutted him off in the middle. They both were present inside Zale's study room whereas their daughter was in her room with her aunt and best friend and their son in law was waiting in the hall to leave from there."He is her husband now and they both have to live their life together from now on," "But that doesn't mean they have to stay under one roof or one room," Zale argued ba
Zia's jaw tightened whereas her fist clenched by watching that insolent smirk playing on his face. She opened her mouth to snap back but stopped herself by hearing that knock on the door. Zia looked towards the door and saw two maids standing there, holding the tray of food in their hands. "Mrs Alcazar sent us here," one among them informed. Their eyes were downcast. Zia sighed and spoke. "Place the dinner on the bed," Both the maids nodded and immediately placed the trays of food in the bed. "Anything else, Miss Alcazar," "No, you can leave," Zia replied, making both the maids leave the room and close the door behind them. Zia exhaled heavily because that creep was still present inside her room and was going to stay with her for the entire night. Hope so she didn't end up killing him. Zia didn't look at him but she could feel his intimidating gaze on her all this time but at this point, she had become familiar with his creepy habit of staring at her and when the last time he
"I will help you in opening its zip," he said and she wasn't even surprised that he had even found out about her real problem. She forcefully detached her arm from his grip and bitterly chuckled at him."Are you really that dumb or you have lost your sense with the happiness of becoming my husband that you are thinking I will let you open my gown's zip?" Her anger again washed over her."Especially after what you did to me that night in your penthouse when I was just there to help you but you…you didn't think twice before taking advantage of that situation, didn't you, Mr Karlson?"Damien's amused reaction long left him and got replaced by his dark demeanour. He took a predatory step closer to her, eliminating the rational distance between their bodies. Understanding the situation, she tried to push him away but he was fast enough to wrap his arm around her waist.Her heartbeat accelerated when he tugged her on his chest."I might have touched you without your consent but you love get
As soon as the first ray of the morning entered the room, Zia got up from the sofa. She hadn't slept for a second throughout the night. She just tossed on that sofa, waiting for the morning. Zia stood up on his feet and looked at him. He was still asleep. She looked at the wall clock and it was still very early in the morning but she knew her parents must have woken up by now because her parents used to do morning jogging together in their manor's garden, so it would be the perfect time for her to go and talk with them. She needed to talk to them before he could wake up. Walking on her tiptoes, she got out of the door and then closed it without making any noise. After getting out of her room, Zia sighed heavily and then ran towards her parents' room. She found her mother giving her father his morning coffee after she reached their doorstep. They both were present inside their room. With a gulp, she knocked on the door, gaining the attention of her parents. Her father stood up fro
Zia continued to stare at her mother like a lifeless body who was practically shivering in anger but Zale held her shoulders and tried to calm her down. "Calm down, Cia," "How, Zale? How can I calm down?" Cia stretched her head to look at him. "Our child was storing these pathetic thoughts in her head all this time and we were not even aware of it. We continue to fulfil her wishes and stubbornness but it has harmed her to this extent that she is comparing a person's worth with how much money he has to satisfy her demands. It's ridiculous," Cia sounded disgusted on her own self because she was feeling like she failed to give her child the right kind of teaching. She failed as a mother. "But if we have turned her like this then we will take her back to the right track because if we have given everything she has always wanted, so now we are going to be the one to teach her what happens when a want becomes a need and how a person has to make their own efforts to satisfy their needs be
Her arms continued to remain wrapped around him whereas her soft whimpers continued to get muffled into the crook of his neck. She snuggled her wet naked body against his but Damien's hands didn't make any efforts to touch her bare skin. Her whimpering turned more lower and Zia finally calmed down but as soon as she got back to her senses, she noticed how tightly she was clinging onto him, like her life was depending upon it. She was stark naked and didn't bother to care about it. Slowly opening her eyes, Zia felt like her whole being burnt up in embarrassment feeling the way her body was pressed against his hardened muscles. Her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. She slightly pulled back and looked everywhere but him until "Is another kind of ritual for the Alcazar women to put their husbands in confusion?" He rasped in her ear. "One second, they complain to their husbands about getting into their lives forcefully and in the other second, they request their husbands to never lea
After Damien left from that room and closed the door behind him, Zia stepped down from the bed and then grabbed that black satin shirt which she assumed was his. Her tummy tingled in excitement just with the thought of wearing his shirt but Zia scolded those butterflies and gave them the excuse that she was just wearing it because she had nothing else to wear and she couldn't risk staying naked until she didn't get something else to wear.Zia wore his shirt and buttoned it up but it was too big and huge for her tiny petite self. She walked towards the mirror which was present in that room and then took a glance at her. His shirt was covering her almost till her knees and it was so loose that Zia felt like a couple more of her copies would get fit into it easily. The size of his shirt told her how big and muscular he was which made her gulp. She was like a tiny ant in front of her. She was sure he would crush her completely if she ever got underneath him. Her eyes widened when she fina
"No, mum. Me and Damien, we both are fine. Don't worry about it but that little girl….." Zia's voice shivered. She was talking to her mother, Cia, who had turned extremely worried about them after hearing about her accident near thar park. "No, mum. Please tell dad that I am fine and he and you don't have to come here. You take care of dad's health. Me, Damien, Dylan and Leo are here in the hospital with that girl," Zia stated as her parents wanted to come there to the hospital but she was stopping them because her father's health was not well too. "You take care of dad. We all will handle everything here….okay, I will continue to update you about here, bye bye ...." Zia hung up the call. With a sigh, she walked towards the operation theatre. Damien and Dylan were standing outside the operation theatre whereas Leo was talking on a phone. All of their faces had worn a tense reaction, especially Damien's as the operation of that girl was going on for almost an hour now. "Damien, any
"Congratulations, my baby. I am so so proud of you, Zia uttered, hugging her son. Her happiness knew no boundaries today. Her son had finally passed his high school. Though his grades were very low, he still managed to pass his high school finally. "I am so happy for you," Pulling back, Zia pecked her son's forehead. A smile appeared on Zian's face, witnessing his mother's happiness, and then he trailed his light blue eyes at his father. Damien walked towards them and looked at his 18 years old son. Day by day, he had started looking just like him. From his aura to his physical appearance, his son had inherited every trait of his, except his eyes. His eyes were the exact reflection of his mother's sapphire orbs with the only difference that….his mother's eyes always looked like they had a beautiful warmth but their son's seemed to have an icy coldness in them just like his dad's. Damien placed his palm over his son's shoulder and patted it. "Congratulations for passing your high sc
"We will embrace your fear together, mi vida," he halted her. Zia just stared at him. He cupped her face a little firmly."We will try our best to win against your fear if you want," he assured her. "Are you happy about it?" She asked him, sincerely. A smile formed on his face at her question. Damien put a kiss on her forehead before answering."You can't even imagine how much, but for me your happiness matters the most," Once again, her heart fell head over heels for this man. His love was a kind of feeling which held the power of overpowering all kinds of her feelings and emotions, including her fear.Zia caged him tightly and amiably whispered."I love you so much, mi vida," Damien beamed warmly before embracing her lovingly in his arms and answering."I love you more, mi vida,"………………Gentle waves of air were blowing. The swing was gently moving. The birds were chirping. The sun was shining beautifully in the light blue sky. A smile was playing over her lips as she was staring
"Yum….the food smells delicious, hubby," Damien chuckled, hearing his wife who was sitting on the countertop of their kitchen. He was cooking her favourite dishes as her final exams of her last year in college had just ended today. Yes…….. it had been almost one year since he had gotten this beautiful human as his wife. It had been almost one year, they both had gotten tied in that alluring bond of marriage. Their family bonding had even turned better in this one year. Damien had finally started opening up to his family wholeheartedly. They both still lived in their own home like they used to do before, but now at least for once, they both visited the Karlson family in a week. Damien had chosen to stay away from the public eyes and limelight in every possible way so he refused to be the part of Karlson's business and corporations which everyone respected and accepted. Slowly and slowly, everything had started falling back to its right track. Her mouth watered when she saw him putti
Chloe lowered her eyes and then wiped her cheeks. Zia's heart clenched as she saw her vulnerable state. Despite everything, they all somehow received something beautiful but that poor girl lost everything in all of this. Zia was never a fan of Chloe but now when she had started understanding people, she noticed that it was not always about whom you liked or not….the most important and relevant thing was that a human must feel humanity towards another human.Exhaling a soft breath, she walked towards Chloe. Zia sat beside her and then wrapped her arms around her face. She gently turned her face towards her and saw her swollen reddened eyes which were still shedding tears because Chloe knew that at this point, she had nothing to hold onto. Zia's heart ached and felt extremely bad for her.Gently wiping her eyes with her thumbs, she spoke."I should also apologise to you, Chloe," Chloe just stared at her silently."Because I was the one who never tried to behave humanly towards you. I
"Take your steps carefully," Dylan uttered to Chloe. He was helping her walk to the bed. They both had gotten back to the Karlson residence. Chloe told him that she should go back to her own apartment now as now she had no reason to stay with him in his house but Dylan simply denied her by telling her that she had no one in her apartment who would take care of her and she needed to be taken care of as she was still really very weak after what happened to her. Dylan helped her sitting on the bed. He placed some pillows behind her and then leaned her back against it. Chloe just gazed at him. Her heart ached, realising he was still caring for her well-being after what she had done to him. If it would have been anyone else in place of him, that person would have done so much worse to her after her wrong doings but Dylan didn't even raise a question at her, let alone hurting or humiliating her. His heart was really very beautiful and tender from the very beginning. The biggest reason she s
"I will beg to Dylan and Chloe for their forgiveness,"Hearing those words from his mouth, Zia turned startled. She slowly opened her eyes. Pulling herself back, she stared at him in astonishment with her glossy eyes. Wrapping his hands over her warm cheeks, he tenderly muttered."I will do everything to lessen your pain, mi vida….. even if it means to beg them for their forgiveness after what I have done to both of them," there was no lie which could be detected in his words or eyes. She could clearly see the sincerity and honesty in his gaze because for her, he could do anything….any single thing and it didn't matter to him what he would have to do for her and her happiness.Her heart swelled up with more love for him. This man was really her being, her soul, her heart. The things he had done and was capable of doing for her…..no one had ever done it for her whether loving her like an insane or ruining her in that same love of his. Each and every emotion of his belonged to her. He
"How is Dylan now?" Zale asked Reid as Reid had just gotten done talking with his wife, Larisa on a call. Larisa was staying with Dylan and Chloe in the hospital. "He is fine and has gotten back his consciousness," Reid answered, earning a nod from Zale. They all were waiting in the hall because they wanted to give Zia and Damien their privacy. Zale trailed his eyes at Cia who was sitting on a sofa. Her head was hung low. Zale sighed and walked towards her. He kneeled in front of her and placed his palms over her knees. "Have trust in our child, Cia. Everything will turn alright," Cia exhaled a heavy breath, hearing Zale. She looked at him and gently nodded her head. She was about to say something to him but stopped when she saw Zia and Damien entering the hall. "Zia," Cia said and hurriedly got up, followed by Zale. Everyone darted their eyes at the couple entering the hall. Zale and Cia walked towards them and before they could ask them anything, they got their answer by wa
PRESENT TIME"Zale told me that Damien wanted to get trained like him and wanted to work with him. I, as his father, was not ready accept it because I knew the risk and danger involved in it but Damien was adamant and like always, he didn't bother to listen to me and I understood, if I continued to deny him every time, it would make him hate me even more which I didn't want, so I reluctantly ended up agreeing to Damien's request which he made to Zale," Reid said and then looked at Zale."And Zale assured me that during the beginning days of his training, he was himself going to train Damien under his supervision, so less harm would reach him. It gave me a bit of relief because I trusted Zale and then his training began. Everything was going normal and I thought that Damien had forgotten about Zia because he never took her name in front of anyone after he left this country. I had told his uncle to keep an eye on him and he continued to inform me that Damien never took Zia's name even m
