The next morning, Cyra woke up from her peaceful sleep. It was, after a very long time, she had a calm sleep like this, and till now, she was not even aware that she had been needing a sleep like this. Cyra also knew who was the reason behind that peaceful sleep of hers. This man, in whose embrace, she was trapped now.He was still asleep. His always perfectly set hair had turned messy, and its locks were falling on his forehead. A slight beard had grown on his face, making him look more eye-catching. What this man had, which always managed to gain her entire attention? His breathing taking looks? But she had seen many other handsome men in her life, so why him? Why just him? Even after knowing…it should never have been him?By peering into his sleeping face, Cyra couldn't stop her hand from going closer to his face and touching it delicately. His skin felt far from gentle, but it felt warm and soothing to her skin.Tracing her thumb against his cheek, she travelled it down towards h
“Cyra, where are you going again?” Cyra heard her mother asking her. She was about to leave her home to meet that detective.“Just for some shopping,” she answered, smiling, so her mother would not get suspicious of her continuously going out almost every day.Cyra had never been a girl, who loved staying outside or to go outside that much. She had always preferred to stay at home and enjoy its comfort, and her parents knew about this really very well, but nowadays, she had started going out too much, so she knew this might raise suspicion in her parents' head.“I will be back before the evening. Don't worry,” she uttered.“Are you going to meet Zaiden?” Her mother asked, a bit strictly. Cyra went silent for a moment, but then she shook her head.“No, mum. I am not going to meet him,” she replied. Her mother sighed.“Look, Cyra….I know, you both are about to get married and children of these days love to spend time with each other which has nothing wrong in it, but you also should be
Seeing him holding that gun, Cyra immediately backed away from him, while looking at him, extremely terrified. He had killed that detective. He had taken his life. Tears of horror blurred her vision.Cyra roamed her eyes everywhere around her surroundings, and she finally noticed those dozens of masked men, which were surrounding them. Their faces were not visible, but their eyes were downcasted, and most importantly, they all were armed with different kinds of weapons.What was happening here? Where she had dragged herself into? Feeling his steps coming closer towards her, Cyra trailed her watery eyes back at him. Frozen, she watched him reduce the distance between them, and then he stood right in front of her. Petrified, she tried to walk back, but this time, he draped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer.Cyra saw his eyes wandering all over her flushed and tears-stained face, which made him lift his hand to gently wipe her tears away with his thumb.“You wanted to know a
“We will get married this week,” he spoke out. Cyra clenched her jaw in pure rage, and then snatched his hands away, which were cupping her face.“Over my fucking dead body,” she shouted at him, fading the tenderness from his eyes.“I was enduring your bullshit till now, believing things might get better with the passage of time, but now, I will make sure you will pay for your each and every fucking crime. I don’t care what it is going to bring for me, but now….” she pointed her index finger at him.“I will myself reveal about your each and every sin in front of everyone, and will make sure, you will get what you deserve,” she seethed out at him, outraged. That was enough. Now she was going to tell her parents everything, and would make him pay for every harm he had caused to others. With that intention, Cyra turned around to leave, but her feet froze, hearing him.“Do you remember that chair in that godown, Ms. Merciez?” Cyra turned around, and watched him gazing at her with his co
Cyra watched his incoming video call, which made her clench her jaw. She had even started despising his voice, let alone seeing his face. Cyra was about to decline the call when suddenly something inside her head warned her not to, because she clearly remembered what he had done to that detective. Recalling that scenario was still wrenching her soul in dread, so she could not afford to go against him, not anymore. She knew her defiance was going to cost her a life, which was not acceptable to her. With her shivering hand, Cyra wiped her eyes and then answered the call. Her heart clenched, seeing his face becoming visible to her. “Just like I thought, you must be still awake and crying,” his words immediately watered her eyes. “Why won’t you? Because you are the giver of this pain and these tears which have even snatched my sleep from me,” she uttered back, holding back her tears. Cyra saw him sighing heavily, before he got up from his bed. “We will argue in the morning, but
“Everyone has been waiting for you all. Please come,” Cyra heard her uncle, Caius's manager, welcoming them inside the Alvaro Corporations.Cyra took a brief glance of her surroundings, and the place looked way more luxurious and exorbitant than her expectations. This was the very first time she had come to this place. Her father nodded at the manager, and then looked at Cyra and her mother.“Come,” he uttered, and Cyra and her mother followed him.“Welcome….” Caius welcomed all of them inside that cabin.“And a special welcome to my Cyra,” Caius patted her head, making her smile at him, but her smile dimmed the moment her eyes travelled in his direction.Dressing up in an expensive black tuxedo, his cerulean eyes were peering at her. Cyra clutched her black dress, and took her eyes down. They both had even worn matching colour outfits today. Was it just a coincidence?Attempting to ignore him, Cyra travelled her eyes towards Leora, and she noticed that gloominess in her gaze as soo
Cyra went completely numb, hearing his words. He and Ethan should be the same for her? What did he mean by that? Confusion washed all over her face, but then she saw a grin forming on his face which befuddled her more. He started chuckling loudly, and then pushed his face closer to hers.“Did you believe what I said?” He husked against her lips, while peering into her emerald eyes. So he was trying to mess with her?Cyra pushed his hand away from her neck forcefully.“I can and will never trust a bastard like you,” she seethed out at him, enlarging his smile.Cyra witnessed him grabbing her jaw, but not in a painful manner this way. His grip was neither tender nor violent this time.“So what's the point of even asking me a question if you are not going to believe my answer, Ms. Merciez?” He asked her, wandering his eyes all over her face, especially her full round lips, which were looking more plumpy and pouted the way he was grasping her way.Cyra had no answer to his question, so s
Cyra felt him burying his face in the crook of his neck where he started sucking on her skin.“Get away. They are calling us,” she tried to stop him, but he nibbled a particular spot right below her neck, which he knew was one of her body's most sensitive spots. Cyra hissed in pain, but at the same time clenched her thighs in pleasure. Tears pricked her eyes, feeling that burning sensation in her neck, which automatically started rising the temperature of her body, but before things could slip out of her hands, she forcefully pushed him away from her.He stepped back. Cyra sent him a glare through her glossy eyes. Taking her phone out, she checked her neck, and just like she had expected. He made sure to leave his dark teeths’ mark on her skin for everyone to watch.He could not leave a single chance to make her life more miserable.Cyra looked at him, and got more annoyed, seeing him smirking at her. Like he was proud after seeing his mark on her body. Why wouldn't he be?After all,
“Strip, mi amor,” Like a frozen statue, she watched him and listened to his every word. Pain was an understatement. Cyra couldn't describe what she had been feeling at that moment. She was feeling like she had betrayed her own self.She had cheated on her own soul, and it was just for a pathetic man like him.“We shouldn't be wasting this night,” he uttered, removing his coat.Cyra still didn't utter a single word to him, but didn't let her gaze get apart from him because she wanted to make herself realise that…there was nothing good in him. There had never been anything good in him. It was just her, who was forcing herself to believe that he could never be the worst…but the truth was….he was. He had always been.Her emerald eyes watched him pointing towards that screen, while with his other hand, he unbuttoned his shirt. His gaze was fixed at her.“You wanted to see your Ethan, so I fulfilled your wish, and now …” she saw him stepping closer to her, eliminating the rational gap betw
‘My Ethan’. The moment his ears heard her calling another man as hers, the havoc of insanity, which he thought he was capable of hiding inside him for the rest of his life, broke apart irredeemably.Cyra, who was glowering at his back with her watery eyes, finally saw him slowly turning around. A tendril of chill ran down her spine when she looked into his eyes and found nothing but that lethal madness, which made him look like a feral, wild animal, who was going to tear her into two.“Your Ethan….?” Cyra noticed the pitch of his tone had turned extremely deep and husky. A sadistic smirk formed on his face, rather than that grin of his calmness, and this petrified Cyra because she could feel the lava of his reality burning out from him.His feet made their way towards her, making Cyra grip her wedding gown tightly. Her survival instincts were screaming at her to run away from him because he was capable of doing the worst to her, but she chose to stay and witnessed how far his worst w
Her slow steps walked down that aisle, which was taking her to that sinner, who had turned her entire life into a sin, and no matter how slowly she strided, that aisle finally shoved her in the arms of her cruel destination.“Take care of my daughter, Zaiden. I am handing my life to you,” Cyra heard her father saying to him, while putting her hand over his.“Your life is my life, Mr Merciez,” he uttered, peering into her emerald eyes, whereas his hand tightly held her hand, and helped her in getting up on the aisle.Cyra, standing in front of him, kept her eyes down because she didn't want to look into his eyes to see his victory and her defeat. He had defeated her. He had made her lose every single thing.She had lost to him, completely and in every possible way.“Do you, Mr Zaiden Alvaro, take Miss Cyra Merciez as your lawfully wedded wife, and promise to love her, cherish her and be with her until death do you part?” Tears stung her eyes, as soon as she heard those words of the pr
Standing in her balcony, Cyra was gazing above at the dark night sky. The moon was glowing, the stars were gleaming, but at the same time, some dark clouds were also there. Gentle blows of air were hitting her body, moving her hair strands slowly.It was already the middle of the night, and her sleep was far away from her because tomorrow was her wedding. Just a few more hours, and she would be standing in front of him and would be taking their wedding vows.Feeling her phone vibrating in her hand, Cyra looked towards it and saw his call. Utterly defeated and with a completely blank head, Cyra picked up his call and pressed the phone against her ear.“Amor…..” Cyra heard his throaty voice, but she made no efforts to answer him because they both knew he was even capable of hearing her silence and understanding the beating of her heart. “This night turns out to be unendurable, because it seems to become too long,” she silently listened to his every word while peering at the sky.“And
“Cyra, come for breakfast, sweety. Zaiden might be here soon,” Hearing her mother's words coming from outside, Cyra exhaled a heavy breath and placed the hairbrush back on the table. Today, she was going out with him to select their wedding attire, which was going to happen just a day after tomorrow. The day of the beginning of her destruction had finally reached extremely close to her, and she was not capable of doing anything to stop it. She would have to accept it with open arms in front of the whole world.Exhaling a very heavy breath, Cyra took one last glance at her reflection, and then walked out of her room. Cyra entered the dining hall, and saw her parents already settled on the table.“Good morning,” she wished her parents with a smile which didn’t reach her eyes because she knew, very soon her mornings were not going to be like this. Everything in her life was about to change.She would have to leave her parents, and their embraces would get apart from her.Cyra walked t
Extremely appalled, Cyra looked at those cops. She couldn't believe her ears. Someone had murdered Kellan, during her birthday party's night? She had no clue regarding this.“So we need to ask some questions to Ms. Merciez regarding this case,” the officer uttered. Cyra saw her father looking at her. He was also looking worried and concerned, but holding his strength for his child, he sent her a nod, giving Cyra the assurance that he was there, and nothing wrong would happen to her.Sighing, Cyra nodded at the cops, and then they all settled on the sofas.“So, Ms. Merciez, I hope you will answer all my questions honestly, and I can assure you, if you are innocent then nothing will happen to you,” The officer said to Cyra, seeing her tense body posture.Swallowing, Cyra wagged her head in agreement.“So, do you remember meeting Mr Kellan Sanzer at your birthday party?” The officer asked her. Cyra again sent her a nod.“Yes, he came there because I had shared a birthday invitation in ou
