Her parents are both dead, her brother lives with his wife in India. But will not stop me from getting my answers.

As promised I have in my study, ready to test her waters. "Don't for a second think anything about your life is hidden from me," I warned her dropping the file with her details in her lap.

Instead of taking a look at it. she threw the file away from her acting as if it disgusts her. "There is nothing in that file that can lead you to that drive," she said calmly. I smiled taking in her frequently changing facial expressions, "You don't think I know that?" I took a step toward her fisting a rough hand in her hair, other at the side of her chair, closing the distance between us.

"I know someone helped you escape, I know you were not alone in America," she yelped as fear flashed her eyes which confirmed my accusation.

    CAN SEE MY DOWNFALL FROM SIX FEET ABOVE __I tapped my pointy red hells on the floor, looking around the house. The place is filled with glittery females and men dressed in cold dark colors. I noticed one in particular, she looks young around barely 18 I think.Ironic enough I wonder. To be seen makes people feel naked- and then some people actually strip naked, however still as strangers to the world. Everyone is caged inside a little box of mystery, secrets, and pain. I think all we ever want is something with the right key to let us free. I filled my tray with drinks and arranged a bottle onto it. "You look gorgeous, here have some water," I complimented and have her the water bottle to the girl dancing around these men. I have no idea what is wrong with all the people here, calling these girls names and saying really dirty things to her. These girls are artists and they are doing their job, an amazing one at that."Thanks, I-" Her mouth opened in refusal but before she can say

    empty frames and loud moans_He roughly throws me in the passenger seat of one of his cars, before getting in himself. Shocked, I just stay still keeping my bruised hand to my chest. I mean it's not really bruised but there is pain. A long silence filled the car, only the voices of my uneven and his angry nostrils flaring were the voices in the car. What happened in there was nothing I ever expected to happen ever. "who was he?" my voice came out so hysterical I cringed. he clenched his jaw tightening his hold on the steering until his knuckles turn white. OH? so he is getting angry now? I glared at his clenched jaw. "Answer me.""Don't talk about him," he yelled out of frustration. "Are you kidding me? he fucking humiliated me in front of your Uncle while you stood there like a fucking statue." he turned his dark gaze to me. "Shut up," he yelled again. Asshole. I want to shout at him, ask him why he let that happen, why? instead, I closed my eyes keeping my eyes at bay. After

I'm lying in his bed with his huge arms around me, his nose buried in my hair. If someone looked at me right now they will probably label me mad.Because although I can't see my face I know it's as red as a tomato. And the fact that this is probably the first non-sexual intimacy between us is enough to freak me out. I gulped reminding myself not to fall for someone who is way too out of my league. I slipped out of his embrace skillfully and left his room taking the remnants of my dress from last night. later that day, I decided to start my day by cleaning his office first. while dusting the old books on the shelf, I found an old packet of cigarettes. I shook the little box a little to know if there is anything in there. One long white cigarette flew out of the box onto the floor. My mind did 100 calculations at that time, it has been a while sin

She crawled her way into my bed and now I can't find any reason for her to not be there. I like making her forget her pain, she likes that I can take it away. Things couldn't be more peaceful. This feeling is a lot rare to me but I'm not complaining. I swirl the coffee around my cup. Taking a delicious sip. Ayushi made this coffee herself for me and I must say it tastes delicious. Ace barges into my office with his hard-as-stone demeanor."Sir, Giovanni is here." My free hand went directly to the gun lying on the table. Before I can say anything he barges in.

Just like life. The greed within us tells us to never let go of those good memories and always then confides us to erase the bad memories. How can I explain this? I don't know.

I remember my heart was in my throat when the doctor was checking Ayushi. All I could think about was how much I wanted her to live, I wanted her alive, I wanted her with me. That I got, actually not only that but also the baby. our baby. I wonder when did she get pregnant. was it the night after the movie? or the night I made love to her?

"What is he still doing here?" I half yelled expected for him to fight back but instead, he just sighed. "He is taking her with him."Over my dead body is that ever happening. "Myra," I yelled getting up from the bed. "Fuck, Ayushi. Slow down at least," he says but this time he doesn't stop me. I went straight to the guest room, where Myra was staying last just to find him in there. "Get away from her!"I pushed her back from him to me hardly.
