I was so lost in my emotions that I didn't took in dad's appearance. His forehead's bleeding a little , there's a small cut near his right eyebrow. Blood oozing out of it. But what held my breath was the blood stain , peeking out of his court's embrace.
Mom and Janice too noticed it now. They both gasped in horror. Mom immediately shouted at him "What's this Steven ,you are bleeding! "
Dad scratched his neck,like it's not a big deal at all. He didn't seem like someone in pain. He does look like he's tired but not like he's bleeding profusely.
"What why are you standing like statue! Say something. What did you do and how did this happen. Oh my god you got into a fight. Come let me see" mom didn't even let him open his mouth.
Holding his hand she pulled him inside the house and we were left at the doorway , dumbfounded. Don't know what to do.
Janice and I face each
"But before that, jane 'facing her he says' do you want to tell us something" I and mom looked between dad and Janice,analysing where this conversation is going. Because he called her jane ,which is a sign she's going to land in trouble. We all noticed,janice scrunching her palms slowly taking them back under the table. I nudge her elbow ,when she didn't respond to dad's question. She broke out of her daze , looking here and there "uh...h no dad ,what are you talking about,I don't understand" she denied perfectly. My eyebrows scrunched in confusion , wondering what's happening. "JANICE WHY DON'T YOU START FROM THE FINGERPRINT MARKS ON YOUR WRIST!" Dad gobsmacked us. His face hardened probably remembering something. Janice and I stilled in recognition.But how did he know? even I don't know the bully. Mom took the opportunity to intervene in between "Hun,what
"Uhh who trevon ,noone ,who are you talking about, nothing, no na ah" i gave them my sheepish smile. In return mom and dad glares at me "Ellaaaa..." they grit their teeths together. I scratched my ear in nervousness, thinking from where to start. Anxiety built up inside me, Should I tell them about freaky Maxwell. I don't know what to do,I am scared and confused. Dad works there ,maybe he won't believe me but he's my dad . he's suppose to trust me first, right. Ohh god I always ramble in panick. Fine this is it. I too want dad's comfort and mom's assurance. Inhaling deeply ,I prepare myself for another round of long heart to heart talk. "Fine. It started when we collided....." ~~~ ".....My seniors are also involved.They are working in the embassy but in real they are working for him." "I was missing you so much dad. I
𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗗 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗣. 𝗢.𝗩- "So you are saying you love her that's why you abused her" its was Aiden. "How ridiculous this sounds, I didn't expect this from you Aaron. I never thought I'll say this to you but you disappointed me, son" Roseline couldn't hold back herself too. Even though she love ella and Janice like her own but never will she allow for something like this,if her son's behaves that way. In their mafia world , womens are tortured enough by their men's enemies , and if the girl didn't get loved even by her own family ,then she doesn't want this alliance. The girl deserve much more than that. Thinking about ella's struggles and hardships because of her own son. Feeling of possessiveness erupted inside her body,like a mama bear ready to save her child from every possible danger. She is angry on herself too thinking that where did she lack upbringin
Sitting in my cubicle,I am still digesting the new found bomb dropped on us last night. I slept waiting for dad but he didn't come. Although the thought of Aaron hurting him is still disturbing but I guess I have to trust mom's words. Sighing I continued typing another foreign languaged document. I like my work, I really do but this constant typing sucks me up. It's so boring here, my desktop is eating me alive. Roman hasn't come today. I wonder how the guy manage to get too many work leaves. I snort at the thought , sometimes it feels like he isn't an employee infact the owner itself. Since when does embassy start having owners? It's government body not some multinational company, you dumb f*ck ! I gasped internally in horror as my subconscious mocked me. You idiot just shut up. Everytime cursing and swearing, I am not like this I wonder where did you came from,you sick pysco. I
Before either one of us could do anything,dad came in the picture. I instantly felt relieved. Everything kicks in my brain , finally. His friend,along with his family,at dinner. Everything makes sense now. He invited them but why. Didn't I told him, about the abuse. What is he upto. I can't understand,dad! What are you trying to do here? "Come sweetie,let's go inside." He said practically pushing Aaron from our way. Starts leading me in the dining area. From the corner of my eye i saw dad glaring at aaron. But I didn't saw any sort of expression on Aaron's face. Just his proximity is enough for the anxiety to built up inside me. As my legs walked inside the dining room,I saw every pair of eye turn towards me. There sat aiden maxwell at one of the head chair just beside him on
His jaw clenched, it's visible, he's getting angry. I smirked in contempt. "If you want an apology mister, you have to earn it, not just come barging into my house and demand it." I said shoving my finger in the middle of his abs. He dropped his face and side smirked. He looked back up from his drop down head. "Will you give me a chance to earn it, hmm?" He says in an unusually deep voice. His one hand is resting on my door, leaving the other in his pants pocket. "Let me think..... 'I say, a finger tapping my chin and with the other hand I hugged myself... umm ...... how about .......... a... NO! " "Aren't you flying too high miss summers." He grits his teeth in annoyance. That's not my problem. I'll avenge every humiliation I hav
"Relax honey, he won't bother ella anymore. We made him understand,right. So stop worrying so much. Everything will be fine. I promise." I hear mom consoling dad. But my brain is like jammed in certain place or more like word 'This Time'. I am still perplexed on what did they do. And mom's consoling words aren't helping either.They made him understand. Is it why he did the rose thing. Oooooh I get it now. He apologized because of mom and dad, not because he actually felt it.What a hypocritic jerk! And here my heart was just about to melt. See what happens, when you decide to be 'Mother Teresa'.At the end of mom's sentence, I didn't heard anything for few seconds. Confusion touched my features, Did they left?No...they are still sitting here. I can feel the warmth radiating off them. Then whats with them and being silent. Irritation soon, latched my senses.I
"B...but mafia? How? It can't be possible. And why did you and uncle approve it? Did you knew about this? " I stare at him in shock, still trying to grasp the new found revelation dad just made a minute ago. "Steve tell her....it's time now." It's like he was just waiting for her command. Heaving up a sigh, he look into my eyes. The determination I saw there, shaked me to the core. One thing is sure, Whatever he's going to tell it's nothing usual. MAFIA...seriously! what were they even thinking. But I won't back down easily, today I'll solve every fr*aking mystery. "You remember the night your grandmother died? " My throat construct, reminiscing the last memories of granny. Tears welled up in my eyes. I was just 7 years old back then but I remember every single detail of that horrified day. All of a sudden, I am not in a condition to say anything. So, he
Not before he moved forward, I closed my eyes, my senses weren't working anymore. "Better than he can ella! " Our moment was broken by the tune of his cell phone. We were gazing into each other’s eyes; he was ignoring whoever is calling him. Should I just tell him to take his call? I need to be released from this position. It’s kind of getting awkward. ‘’Receive it!” I WHISPER. Leaving me completely, he steps back. I could feel the loss of his body warmth. Internally scolding myself for thinking this way. I saw his expressions changing rapidly from shock to worry to anger and enraged. He started shouting and literally threw his phone on the ground, that it shattered into several pieces. I gasp as I saw his red streaked eyes. He`s not looking any less than a deranged bull. “What happened…………. Mr. Maxwell…...?” still I ask, I don’t know even why! “JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP” he roared at me. My breath got caught in my throat. He looks the same maniac mentally retarded man who had puni
Never have I ever wished so hard to turn into Mr. Invisible. That moment is so embarrassing. I can't look him straight in the eyes.Should I tell him about my little crush on roman? So that he'll stop bothering me!He knows about the bouquet transfer thing then he must have known about roman as well.Shishhhhhh… . No he possibly is ignoring it or planning something big! I'm sure this guy won't let me be at peace for once, I tell you!I see as the trees pass by, the cold air touches my bare skin, the only source of smoothening my ever raging nerves.We haven't shared a word since then. I just shifted back to my seat and he also is lost somewhere. Not even looking my way.I stop myself from jerking forward by the sudden break. It's forest everywhere as far as I could run my eyes to.I look hi
Roseline is chained to the ground like a prisoner, with enormous brutal cuts adorning her barely breathing body. Aiden's heart shrinks to the events that happened a few days ago. He can't even move his fingers as per his wish, wanting nothing more than to go to his heartbeat and engulf her in his arms. Recalling the past incidents and his failure of safeguarding his love, his soul has drawn in the depths of self loathe. He couldn't even save his wife, his life. How will he ever look into her eyes again! But the main question here is will they be able to survive this staggering betrayal? will they make it out of here alive this time Or it's the end for all of them? ••• I just don't understand what's wrong with mom and her sneaky stares, she's giving me, every time she passes by. I think she got to know about the coffee
Should I apologise or leave it hanging? But my conscience is eating me alive!What should I do? Urghhhhhhh I didn't think he'd get to know about this.But how the hell did he know? Who must have told him? Just great. My workplace isn't safe for me anymore.Leaving dad's office which is right in front of Mr. CEO's.I'll slip out as slowly as possible. He won't even notice. I was about to reach the lift just then his cabin's door opened revealing his handsome glorified front.Our eyes connect. His eyes soften for a millisecond which goes back to being rigid in a matter of timespan.Mine held guilt. Stop making me feel guilty. I didn't ask him to send me flowers everyday.No no very bad you pumpkin. Don't forget the moral classes mom gave to you. Go and apologise right away. He won't bite you unless
I was crossing the road, as I felt a pull on my wrist. I immediately turn back, alert, ready to knock out whoever dares to do hanky panky with me. I sign in frustration seeing the mortal creature in front of me. "Urghh now WHAT? " I cried out in annoyance. I saw his jaw ticking. Someone's getting angry aa....ooo. "You are so ungrateful miss.summers. I just saved you from being the laughing stock and you didn't even thank me!" I stare at him with wide eyes and mouth. What is this pig? I did thank him. Just a few minutes ago. "Are you deaf, Mr. Maxwell? " I retorted back sarcastically. I can't help it with this guy. "Ella...." He grits in warning. I am testing my luck way too much......maybe. Sudden visions of that creepy spanking emerge in front of my eyes, I shudder in dread. "Fine.
I clear my throat just a little. Lightly daring myself to break the unusual tension. Although I have made up my mind with these eyes. I don't know what's happening to me. I loathe this person. Really Loathe from my entire being. But right now, I just feel like I am compelled in a haze. I can't make myself utter the words or depart from the position we are in. This rare forbidden smile seems so alluring,I feel hypnotic right now. For the first time, I feel different. Maybe.....just maybe because these days everyone is bugging me about Mr. Smarty pants a lot. Think of roman, ella. This is not fair to him. And it's like 'the little bubble pop' just like that. For the first time I agree w
"Stop thinking about him, miss summers" A voice inside me breaks through my train of thoughts.I jerked a little as the realisation dawned upon me. I was thinking about him. I was actually thinking about him!Oh no no no no this isn't a good sign. Stop thinking, you idiot!I saw mom and dad gazing at me expectantly for completely different reasons. Exhaling deeply I look at mom to repeat my words for the last time in the century."Truly from every single fiber of my being. I do not possess any kind of romantic feeling towards Mr.Aaron Maxwell, Madam. " I say in my fake utterly ridiculous british accent.Dad cuts in, punching the air in excitement. He nearly shouts "yesss, I knew it. She's my baby. She doesn't need any other guy in her life than me. "
"She stabbed his eyes. All of his men charged on her immediately. But before anyone could make a move she sliced his neck.There He bleeds to death. Who thought the Italian mafia leader would die like that. I am so proud of her. I am blessed that she was my mother." His eyes shine so bright. I can feel the warmth radiating off him."To avenge their leader's death, his men charged on her together. They beat her to death But still there was slight life left inside her. They poured kerosene all over you and the room.They were going to burn you both alive. You were soaked in kerosene along with the room and they left the place after igniting the fire.The flames were about to reach you. Mom somehow managed to pull you towards the window. And she pushed you out of it. Your room was on the first floor. So it wasn't too hard.But when you land on the ground, you
When she went to take you, he already had you at Gunpoint. You were on the verge of passing out. Because that SCOUNDREL had already slapped you countless times.Mom knew both of you won't make it out alive and She couldn't let you die. So, she sacrificed herself for you.He had the entire army to himself,,,Bloody coward. Mom put a proposal for him, although she knew it's useless but she had to think wisely to at least save you.The entire room was filled with you, mom, Orlando, and some of his men. The remaining were guarding the mansion.She proposed to let you go and then he could do anything he wanted with her." I saw dad's hand clutched together so hard. That they turned sheer white…veins popping out. His eyes turned glossy and face gloomy.I...i...i couldn't help but blame myself for all of it. If only I would have done something&
