The Billionaire's Beloved 9. At the arcade
Like a happy kid, Melanie walked forward looking around her, while Jacob followed her. He looked at their intertwined hands and smiled like a fool. He realized that Melanie had not noticed it. But who was he to point it out to her when he wanted to hold her hand forever? Melanie took in the huge arcade, her eyes sparkling at the games in there. She had always found this place to be heaven since childhood. But after her parents' demise, she had not stepped into one. This was one of the famous arcades in the country and many people came here to play. Right now there were quite a few kids and teenagers busy in a game battle with their groups. "Come. Let's go and buy our passes." Jacob said, pulling her towards the counter. It was only then that she realize that they were holding hands. She immediately tried to free her hand.

Melanie shrugged."What's going on between you and Coach Smith?""There's nothing going on between us.""Are you sure?" Kate narrowed her eyebrows. She knew there was something going on between the two of them. But she was not sure if it was mutual or one-sided. She could however see the way Jacob looked at her, his eyes deep and mesmerizing. She was not an English teacher just for fun. She knew how to re

Steve cursed, wailed, tapped his laptop, shook it and tried restarting it again. But in vain. It was dead, his opponent had released a virus as a counter-attack and now his laptop was gone, like all the other times. This was the fifth time and it was getting on his nerves. The person was strong, he had to give credit."Still not able to crack it?" A voice spoke beside him, startling him. He was almost scared to death by the unexpected attack. He patted his heart to calm himself."Is it necessary to sneak up on me? You scared me." Steve complained, narrowing his eyes."How am I at fault if you get scared due to any slightest noise? Scaredy cat.""I am not a scaredy-cat.""Yes, and I am not Adrian." Adrian sassed and walked away from Steve, not waiting for him."Hey, wait for me." Steve dropped his laptop on the desk and ran behind him. But Adrian did not slow down. Instead, he walked faster. It took some time for Steve to match his steps."Where are we going?""Don't know.""What?"Adr

The call kept ringing until it disconnected automatically. This happened a few more times before the woman got tired and threw her phone in anger. The screen cracked as it fell on the floor."That bitch." She shouted, her eyes blazing in fury."Calm down Claudia. I am sure she is busy." The man beside her stated and sipped his coffee calmly. He did not care much about the call being not picked up."Ted, that idiot is not picking up our calls. How can you expect me to be calm? Do you have any idea how annoyed I am right now?" Claudia shrieked. Ted closed his eyes irritated by her outburst. He was getting a headache due to her nonstop ranting. The woman who looked sweet and alluring dressed in the finest of clothes even when she was indoors would become a pyshco and behave like a madwoman when she was irked. Her character completely contradicted her attire.'Someone please remind me why was I even attracted to her?' He asked himself and blamed himself for b

There was pin-drop silence in the class. Melanie was teaching trigonometry to the students and it being a difficult subject, the students were listening with grave concentration. It was not easy to teach high school mathematics, but it was a walk in the garden for Melanie. She knew the art of teaching as well as how to hold her students' concentration. So, her disciples adored her and her class would have a hundred percent attendance in every sitting.Also, she was very friendly and easy-going with them, making her easily approachable compared to the other teachers. There were still ten minutes for the class to end, but she dismissed them early."Okay, class. I will return your graded answer sheets tomorrow. I am sorry for the delay." She gave them a smile."Miss Parker, it is alright. We will wait for you. Are you fine now?" One of the students on the first bench enquired."Why do you ask?" Melanie asked as she picked up her notes."We heard that

Blood, there was blood everywhere, on her hands, her shirt, and even on the floor. It was horrifying and looked vicious. She focused her eyes on the two dead people as she called out to them. However, they did not respond. They merely stared at her, their body lifeless and cold.The woman on the bed woke up screaming. She was so terrified of the nightmare that she was shivering and her clothes had become damp due to sweat. She was sobbing hysterically and every now and then she would cry out. "Mom, Dad."She looked at her now clean hands, but she could still see her parents' blood on them just like the day twenty years back. She could still remember the day her parents were killed although she was only six years old at that time. Their death had been engraved in her mind such that she could still recount the details like it happened just yesterday.For seven months since their deaths, she had nightmares of that horrible night almost every day. Only she knew how

Twenty years back.It was a bright sunny morning. It had rained heavily the previous night, coating the garden with the droplets of rainwater. The bright sunlight and the wet plants in the garden looked nothing less than a beautiful meadow, mesmerizing one's eyes. On this beautiful morning, a little girl was still sleeping in her room on her soft bed. She looked around five to six years of age. The bright light was prevented from entering the room by the light purple curtains, casting slight darkness in the room.The door opened and a lady in her late thirties walked in. She smiled looking at the little girl sleeping soundly, without any care in the world. Without making much noise, she sat on the bed and swept the girl's bangs away and kissed her forehead."Wakey, wakey. Good morning, princess." She whispered. It sounded exceptionally soft and gentle, tickling one's heart. The girl rolled onto her left and sighed, yet she did not wake up. Looking at the girl's

It was a cold night, pitch black and eerily silent. The road was empty, not a living being was seen, let alone a human. The sky was cloudy and even the street lights were flickering every now and then, giving it a creepy feeling. Anybody would have been scared of the spine-chilling atmosphere. It was like living in a graveyard, not a sound was heard nor a shadow was seen. But not for her. In the freezing night, a lady walked on the streets carrying a whiskey bottle in hand. She was wearing a white, sleeveless, casual dress and her hair was let loose, some stubborn strands falling directly on her face. She stumbled a little as she struggled to walk on the cream-heeled sandals she was wearing. She groaned when she felt her head turning heavy but did not stop with her clumsy movements. Taking a big gulp of whiskey from the bottle, she bent down and took off her sandals. Tossing them to the side without any care for them, she snorted. She hated them anyway, they were a b
