“Okay. I will be there with them, Arran,” Caius hung up the call, and slammed his phone against the sofa he was sitting with his wife and daughter.“Where is Zaiden?” Caius seethed out, getting up on his feet. His wife and daughter stood up too. Both the women tense up, seeing Caius’s enraged state.“Where is he?” Caius roared again. Keana and her mother, Leora, passed each other a glance.“What happened? What did…..”“Where …..is ….Zaiden, Leora?” Caius's scorching tone immediately shut up his wife. She lowered her head, and feeling extremely bad for her mother, Keana downcasted her eyes too.“He is not home,” Leora answered in a low tone, keeping her eyes on the floor. Her reply made Caius grit his teeth in pure rage.Grabbing his phone from the sofa, he was about to call Zaiden, but stopped when his silver eyes travelled towards the door and he saw Zaiden entering the hall.“Where were you?” Caius roared, seeing Zaiden coming closer to them. He stood beside Keana.Seeing Caius's ou
Standing up on her feet, Cyra watched that breathing havoc coming closer to her. His incisive blue eyes wandered all over her body, from her head to her toe which was covered in a denim short and a t-shirt. Her throat dried up in nervousness. This man's mere presence was enough to terrify her very being. Gulping, she took her steps back, seeing him coming closer to her. “Why are you here?” Cyra questioned him, gathering all her courage. She stopped, feeling her dressing table behind her, but his feet didn't pause. Eliminating all the distance between their bodies, he stood right in front of her. “I am asking you something….why are you here?” She repeated herself again. Shoving his hands inside his pants' pocket, he thrusted his face closer to her. “I heard my would-be wife is not feeling well, so I thought about paying her a visit,” he uttered. His voice, calm and gentle, but Cyra knew how dangerous and destructive the calmness of this man was. “Because I know, my closenes
“Our Cyra is going to be one of the best decisions of Zaiden,”Cyra heard her uncle, Caius, uttering in front of everyone at the dining table. Cyra passed her uncle a small smile, before she trailed her eyes towards him, who was silently tapping on a glass of water.His eyes were giving her a look of pride, like…indeed he was really proud of his choice, but Cyra took her eyes down and focused her gaze on her phone, under the table.“After knowing about them from you, Arran, I became a bit upset as I thought my son didn't feel the necessity of involving me in such a big decision in his life,”Caius said, looking at Arran, and then darted his eyes towards Zaiden.“But now I can say, I am proud of his choice…” Caius's gaze remained on Zaiden before it travelled in Cyra's direction.“Because our Cyra is going to be the perfect life partner for her,” Caius said, smiling at Cyra. She beamed back, trying not to behave impolitely.“So, I have no problem with our children's choice. I am in full
The sky had worn the dark cloak of the night where the stars were twinkling. Cyra's eyes were peering at the sky through the window of his moving car. For once, she didn't even try to look beside her to see him, who was driving the car. She had now started despising even being under his presence, but she knew she had no escape from it. Not until, she would reach ‘that only way’ to escape from all of this and from him.“Are we going to act like we don't know each other?” Cyra heard him speaking, breaking the silence between them.Turning her head, she looked at him.“Do we really know each other?” She questioned him back, whose eyes were focused on the road. Every angle of his face was perfectly sculptured. From his jaw to his facial features…. everything about his looks was impeccable, but what about his sinister soul?Her words brought a small smile on his face, before he turned his head to look at her.“I believe ... .I do,” his words held that conviction, which made her feel like
Alarmed, Cyra watched him grasping her phone. His perilous gaze was fixed at her, which turned her eyes more glossy. Cyra had turned so scared that her face had started turning pale, especially because of that dreadful car ride he gave her, and now with this. The moment he would open her chats, she would be dead for sure, and here, she would not be even able to scream for help. Their surroundings were completely dark and alone.“I thought….we are not hiding any secrets from each other?” He uttered in his calmly deep voice. Cyra swallowed, but she immediately flinched back when she saw him thrusting his face closer to her.She squeezed her eyes shut, thinking he was going to hurt her, but all she felt was his warm breathing fanning against her face.Cyra opened her eyes slowly, and her heart froze, seeing his face so close to her. Like always, his cerulean eyes were glowing in the darkness, making them look more bewitching. This man had that twisted aura which would make you feel like
Every step of her, which was proceeding closer to him, made Cyra feel like she was walking towards an erupting volcano. A volcano, which was going to blaze her, but at the same time, was going to calm the burning in her soul down.Her feet paused right in front of him, who was sitting on the bed. Cyra's eyes were downcasted, but she knew, his eyes were on her. She felt him holding her wrist, making her gulp, and then he started pulling her closer to him. Cyra's feet paused when she eliminated all the distance between their bodies, but he still continued to tug on her wrist, which bewildered her.Did he want her to sit on his lap now? That thought shuddered her heart. No, she was thinking too much.“Come here,” she heard him uttering, while he joined his knees. Her throat dried up. He really wanted her to sit on his lap. But Cyra knew she could not dare to go against his words. Her opinion didn't matter here to him, right?Clenching her fists, she reduced all the gap between them, and
The reflection on that mirror, froze Cyra completely. She stopped speaking in the middle, which confused Leora, so she turned her head around, and saw Keana's reflection in the mirror.Leora sighed.“Keana,” she called her daughter, who stepped forward, away from the wall. Cyra saw Keana looking in between her mother and her. She was sure Keana had listened to their conversation, but that normal expression on Keana's face made her think otherwise. Did Keana really not hear them? Or she was already aware of what they both had been conversing here?“Mom, dad is calling you. We are about to leave now,” Keana told her mother, who sighed heavily in return.“Go back. I will be there in a minute,” Leora said to Keana, who wagged her head, but before leaving, she passed a glance at Cyra which didn't go unnoticed by her.Was Keana trying to tell her something, but was afraid of saying it out loud?Keana left, which made Leora turn around and look at Cyra.“Cyra dear, I am not allowed to tell
“Cyra, are you going somewhere?” Cyra heard her mother asking her the moment she stepped inside the hall. Her father was also present there, who was reading a newspaper. “Yes. I am going to meet Leena,” she lied again, using her friend, Leena's name, but at least this time Leena was aware of it. “Okay, but any specific reason for changing your dressing style today?” Her mother questioned, seeing her attire. Cyra was wearing a long, oversized hoodie, which she wore very occasionally. Cyra gulped. “It's just….the weather has turned a bit cold, so I thought about keeping myself warm,” she replied, again hiding the truth. She had worn that oversized hoodie to cover herself properly from getting watched. “Okay, but be careful, princess and get back home soon, because there's a possible chance of a heavy thunderstorm to occur this evening,” her father informed her, after reading about the weather in the newspaper. Cyra wagged her head, hearing her father. “I will be back soon,” she ut
“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
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,
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
“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
