"This is my seat, Professor Karlson," Zia said, annoyed. Damien's eyes were already on her which filled with amusement after hearing her. Zia frowned when he didn't reply but just stared at her. "You…." "What happened, Zi?" Riley spoke, who was sitting on the seat behind where Damien was sitting. Zia looked at her and replied "Our dear professor is sitting on my seat," she kept her voice low so no one could hear her except Riley and her precious professor. Damien enjoyed her vexed pout. "But, Zia, this is not your seat. The seat beside him is your seat," Zia's eyes widened, hearing Riley. "What?" She sounded stunned. Damien wanted to laugh at her big wide eyes but he controlled himself and silently enjoyed the show. "Yes….look at the slip. This seat is yours," Riley spoke, tapping on the seat beside Damien's seat. Zia looked down at the slip she was holding and then looked at the seat numbers. Riley was right. He wasn't sitting on her seat but why was he even sitting here? Sh
"Look there….that lake is so beautiful," Riley pointed towards the lake. Zia looked at it and just tried to force a smile. Both the girls were wandering that entire place with other students and teachers. They had come to a mountain area for their tour and it was really very beautiful. The weather was even very comfortable and cosy. They were roaming that place with their tour guide. Everyone seemed to enjoy roaming that place except her because her entire mind was all over that one single person. They were wandering for more than hours now but Zia didn't see him even for once. Where was he? Shouldn't he be with other teachers and professors here? Then why wasn't he here?"Zia, let's take a picture there. Look the view behind is so beautiful," Zia heard telling her who was gazing at an open ground where the sky was looking very ethereal. Zia swallowed and couldn't say no to Riley because she knew she had already ruined Riley's happiness by taking her own messed up problems here with
"Yes, it will be so much fun. Please, Miss Graham and Professor Karlson…please dance," the students started cheering both the teachers. Zia went completely numb at her place. She just stared at him, whose face hardened at that request of the students. Miss Graham smiled bashfully which made Zia to clench her fists. "Professor...please…." The students requested, unaware of the anger and pain building up inside her because she even loathed the idea of watching him with another woman, let alone dancing with her. She was obsessively protective of him and she couldn't help it. Her eyes pricked with tears of rage. Zia got the urge to rip Miss Graham apart from him but she knew how irrational that would be, so siding aside her irrational thoughts, she got up and decided to leave from there. "Zia, where are you going?" Riley asked, holding her wrist. "I am not feeling well staying here anymore," she uttered and snatched her wrist from Riley's grip. Riley sighed heavily and turned her he
"Will you stop blushing like a creep and tell me what exactly happened between you both?" Riley asked frowning while watching a flushed Zia. Her cheeks were tinting with a pink hue. She was blushing like a maniac.Riley rolled her eyes and hit her with a pillow. Zia snapped back into reality. They both were sitting on their bed as it was the nighttime and everyone had gone to sleep in their respective rooms.Zia turned her head and saw a smirking Riley."Welcome back, Mrs Karlson," she taunted her, earning a frown from Zia."Would you like to tell me what kind of patch up happened between you and our dear professor in his room, all alone for almost two hours?" Her cheeks again hued, at her words but she shrugged herself and answered."Nothing happened," Zia lied while snatching that pillow from Riley's hold and then hugged it. Riley narrowed her eyes on her."You liar….." she tackled her on the bed and Zia hissed badly, feeling that soreness in between her thighs. Riley smirked again
"William?" Her brows arched in confusion by watching her classmate, William, standing in front of her. Way much closer than necessary. Zia stepped back in order to maintain a safe distance between them. "What are you doing here?" She asked him because she couldn't understand why he was there at that time. Zia saw an unusual smirk crept on his face after hearing her question. It made her feel uncomfortable the way he was smirking and gazing at her. Zia swallowed and then looked around everywhere in search for Riley but she was nowhere to be found. Nothing could be seen around her except some dim lights which were the only source of light in that direction. The background was filled with the faded noises of music and students shouting and hooting. "Have you seen Riley here? I mean she called me here but I can't find her," she further asked him but in return he just shook his head. "Okay, thanks," Zia uttered and was about to leave when she found him taking a step closer to her. A s
"Everything has settled there. Nobody is ever going to suspect Zia," Damien informed Zale, earning a nod from him. After whatever happened that night, the campus authority ended the tour and took the students back to their homes. Every single student and teacher was stunned, afraid and even cried when they saw William's lifeless body. That night, when everyone started returning back to their rooms, a student saw William's body and she immediately informed everyone about it. The police came and started their investigation, but they got nothing except that he fell from the rooftop in his completely inebriated state and lost his life. They concluded, he might have slipped on the edge of the rooftop because of his intoxication and lost his balance. After further investigation, they found that William had brought alcohol with him in his backpack secretly on the tour and there he drank it. Nobody even got the slightest evidence against her or anyone else involved in it as Damien made sure
Their mouths collided whereas their arms held each other tightly. Damien grabbed her hips, making her gasp and open her mouth. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth, earning a beautiful moan from her. Their tongues fought with each other but only with the intention of losing to each other. Zia felt him turning hard against her core. She clenched herself and tried to rub herself against him, making him groan. Damien picked her up and pushed her against the glass wall of the shower room. The warm water continued to drench their tangled bodies, adding more into their ecstasy. Her core started secreting, feeling how rigid he had turned. She tangled her fingers in his locks as he kissed her a little roughly. Damien parted her legs more and started teasing her core. Without carrying the limit of her desperation, she whined in their kiss in frustration while rubbing herself against his girth. Damien broke their kiss and looked into her celestial azure eyes which were begging him to rem
"And I believe I will be the only person to possess your existence, mi vida……"Shock was an understatement, Zia was startled by hearing his answer. It made her feel like she was seeing her obsessor…an obsessor who was madly obsessed with her.She blinked in order to process his words. Zia leaned back and broke their eye contact. She swallowed as she felt like after his confession, her throat turned dry. Damien silently observed her every reaction. He understood that she had gotten a glimpse of his side which he never wanted her to witness."I told you…you're not going to like my answer,"His voice gained her attention back at him. Zia saw him grinning casually which made her sigh. For a hot second, she felt like she was watching a stranger in front of her. That person was nothing like her Damien who always thought about her before himself. That person felt like too selfish and too cruel to be true but she knew her Damien was not selfish and cruel. Her Damien was a warm and gentle hea
"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
