"Mr. D'Souza, you are not understanding the situation. I only agree with you partly. This deal will definitely do my company some good, but we are still going to be doing no less if this deal doesn't go through. Can you say the same about your company though?" Claude spoke into the phone's speaker, his feet never stopping once as he made a beeline out of the airport's terminal. A small army of uniformed men followed him closely, their sharp eyes trained to detect any sort of danger.
"Now, you are talking." A heavy chuckle left the man's lips as his free hand came up to push his sunglasses up the bridge of his nose. "I will send the finest of my men to take care of everything. All you need to do is make sure that there's nothing wrong on your side." The smile never left his lips even when he was bidding his goodbyes. "It was good doing business with you, Mr. D'Souza. I look forward to seeing you at the

"Dr. Lawrence?""Yes?" Ayla looked up from a patient's chart. A nurse was standing before her looking a bit queasy."You alright, Em?" Ayla couldn't help but inquire about her well being as she closed the charts and placed them back on their stand."I am completely fine." The nurse shook her head as she clasped her hands together at the front."Okay… you called for me?" Ayla continued the conversation, reaching out for the sanitizer bottle. "Do you need me for something?""Umm.. well… you have a visitor." Her voice shook ever so slightly as she struggled for words. The nurse's eyes were looking everywhere but at Ayla who was intently staring down at her."Okay. Who's the visitor? Please, tell me it's not a patient's family member. Especially not that old lady from last week." A shiver ran down her spine as she recalled la
The Heartless Bride 154: Fate (I)
"Hello, Dr. Lawrence. Fancy seeing you here."Her entire body was glued to the spot, too frozen for her to even turn around and confirm her suspicion. But how could she ever doubt it? She knew the voice just the same as she knew the owner of it. She could never forget how it used to make her feel. Especially when he would utter sweet nothings into her ear, making her feel nothing but loved. Though those days were gone. They were now a part of a past which was meant to stay buried in the past. It was meant to be unearthed—not now, not ever."You won't even look at me now, huh?"She was brought back to the present by the same deep, husky voice."No." She shook her head as she smiled to herself. "It's not like that. I wasn't expecting to see you here." She finally gathered enough courage to turn around and face the man who had been haunting her dreams for months now. Yet, h

"It was fate which took you away from me back then. Just as it was the same fate which brought you to me now…""W-what?" Ayla couldn't quite comprehend the underlying meaning hidden under his complex words. Was Claude actually trying to make sense or was he only playing with her emotions, yet again. "Care to elaborate?" She frowned but kept holding his gaze."Sure, why not?" Smiling to himself, Claude brought his attention to the polished table top as memories came rushing back to him.----------------[FLASHBACK]"Think it through one more time, Ayla." Claude eyed the woman sitting next to him as he questioned her yet again."I have thought it through, Claude. You are not going to change my mind if that's what you are aiming at here." She shook her head, refusing to meet his eyes. Ayla knew that her resolve would start to shake if sh

"Claude?" Her voice brought him back to the present."Huh?""You were saying something?" She reminded him and watched as an understanding look flashed across his features."Oh, yeah! I-I wanted to send you something back then but it was something personal so I decided to bring it to you myself. It was then I found out that you had moved cities." He paused for a while as he reminisced about the past. "I was so mad at myself back then for not keeping an eye on you.""You know I would have hated it if you had me followed." She interrupted him."Why do you think I didn't assign guards for you?" Claude rolled his eyes. For him, her security was the only thing which mattered the most. So, instead of doing it himself, he talked to her father. The old man was kind enough to agree with it as long as Claude promised not to intervene.Ayla
The Heartless Bride 157: One Dinner
"You can either pay for the new phone? Or let me buy you dinner? Once." His smile stayed put in its place."W-what?" She stared back at him, puzzled."Wire me the hefty amount of one dinner with me." He repeated. "I will be the one paying for the food.""How are they both the same?" She was having a hard time believing her ears. The man was definitely up to something."They are both for me." He wiggled his brows. "Also, do let me tell you one thing, the new phone costs much more than the old one.""Then I am only going to pay you for the old phone." Ayla shrugged as if it was only natural for her to do so."Don't forget to take the labor of transfering data into account." Claude spoke up in between."How much for it?" She sighed out in frustration as she began to log into the online banking app for her accoun
The Heartless Bride 158: Missing a Piece of your Heart
"I-I am so sorry." In between her loud huffs of breaths, she apologized to the man who was sitting in silence with his phone in his hand."Two hours? Really, Ayla?" He shook his head as a sigh of disbelief left his lips."I know, I am sorry. Why do you think that I am feeling bad here?" She covered the rest of the distance between them and settled on the chair across from him."You could have at least sent me a text to inform me that you were running late? I wouldn't have to sit here all alone, looking like a fool." Claude huffed out in annoyance as he pocketed his phone."I would have but I had no means of contacting you." She was genuinely feeling guilty about making him wait for so long. What bothered her the most was the fact that he was still waiting for her to arrive even after two hours."How so?" He narrowed his eyes. "Your phone was working
The Heartless Bride 159: I would have Lost you Forever (I)
"It felt like you were missing a piece of your heart. A whole big chunk…" Claude finished for her, keeping his gaze focused on her.His words resonated enough within her that she finally looked up."Y-you…," finding herself at a loss for words, she didn't know how to respond. "How?"Claude smiled to himself as his eyes flicked down for the briefest of moments. "How do I know that?" He continued. "Because that's exactly how I felt about it. I felt like my life lost its lustre the minute you signed those papers, Ayla. The day you moved out for your good, it was the bleakest day of my entire life. I was at a loss without you—a lost cause. That's how I felt without you. That's how I still feel without you."The earnestly lying underneath his words, combined with the emotions that laced his voice were more than enough to bring forth her feelings. The feelings she had
The Heartless Bride 160: I would have Lost you Forever (II)
"I would have lost you forever.""You are saying as if you have me in your life right now?" Ayla shook her head but her words didn't wipe off the downturned smile from Claude's face."You don't understand, Ayla." He sighed. "I would have lost you forever." He repeated his words from earlier again."What does that mean now?" She failed to see the gravity of the situation."I mean I would have lost you quite literally, as in the definition of the word lost." He leaned forward, burying his face in his hands. "You asked me why I couldn't risk exposing him to the police, no? It was because he used you to threaten me.""How exactly?" A frown made itself evident in between her brows. "How did he use me to threaten you, Claude?" She was somewhat able to connect the dots together now, but she refused to accept the truth. It was too heavy for her to bear.

[Three years later…]"Breathe in… breathe out…" Ayla was mumbling to herself as she tried to calm down her jittery nerves.She was standing before a floor length mirror, her eyes focused on her own reflection as her dress glinted under the warm lighting of her new room. Bringing her palms to the front of the dress, she ran them down in attempts to smoothen down the nonexisting creases. She couldn't help the worrying thoughts resonating at the back of her mind, her frown only deepening. But before she could delve down further, a knock at the door brought her out."Is anyone inside?"The voice was so familiar to her that a sigh of relief left her lips unconsciously."It's just me in here." Ayla breathed out as a soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips. She had sent everyone out including the make-up artist and her team once they had

[The following chapter includes mention of R-18 content. Kindly read at your own discretion.] Claude sucked onto the soft spot as his finger moved inside her, earning her moans in return which were not less than a siren's call for him, luring him to continue. He felt her insides tightening around his finger as he moved it relentlessly. He knew that she was close to finding her release and deliberately slowed down his movements. Ayla could feel her orgasm building up, inching closer to the edge. She let out a frustrated groan when Claude slowed down his movements. "D-don't st-op." She managed to say in between her gasps for air. "Oh! I am not planning to, my love, not tonight." Claude murmured against her skin and moved his lips to her cleavage, biting and sucking on her fair, smooth skin. "This might hurt a bit." He said as he inserted

"You must have hit your brain if that's what's going through your brain." Claude scoffed as he leaned down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss. This time she didn't push him away but responded with the same passion. It wasn't until both of them ran out of their breaths did they pull back. "Do you understand now how much you mean to me?" Claude flicked her forehead as if he was reprimanding a small child. "I do… you mean no less to me." She smiled for the first time today and it was enough for Claude to know that everything was going to be just fine. All she needed was a little time and his love. "I love you." Claude mumbled

[The following chapter includes mention of self harm. Kindly read at your own discretion.] "Ayla?" Claude knocked at the door as he glanced at the clock. "Are you done, love?" He made sure that he was loud enough for his voice to go through the thick door. It had already been an hour. But she hadn't come out yet. Claude was starting to get worried. "Ayla?" He called out her name again only to be met with the same reply—silence. Though he could hear the water running constantly, he wasn't able to hear her voice. "Ayla?" He tried it one more time before making his way to the other side of the room. Claude searched through a drawer and then moved to another one. If only he could remember where he kept it. "Found it." He mumbled under his breath as soon as his eyes landed on a golden key. It was the master key

"Take your hands off her!"Ayla's eyes flickered to the owner of the voice and a long sigh of relief left her trembling lips."Claude…"In between the chaos, Claude could only see her lips moving before her eyes rolled up and she fainted."Ayla!" He didn't waste another second and rushed to her, not paying any attention to the culprit. He would have plenty of time for him later. At the moment, the only thing which mattered to her was the wellbeing of his girl.With hurried steps, Claude walked to where she was and started to untie the ropes which were holding her in place."How the hell are you here? Where are my men?" Gavin kept babbling but even then, Claude paid him no attention. He was so busy sheeting with rage that he didn't bother paying attention to anything else. Not the men, who were dressed in black from head to

[The following chapter includes mention of sexual assault. Kindly read at your own discretion.] "Let me tell you a story, kitten." He pushed himself off the wall, dusting his coat in the process. Gavin walked to the other side of the room to pick a chair and dragged it to the centre of the room. He settled down on it so that he was facing Ayla. "What story?" Despite the fact that she was scared for her life, she didn't show it on her face. She knew that she had to put up a brave front until Claude could reach her. He would realize sooner or later that she was missing. With a smile, Gavin began. "My father and a friend of his started a business together. The kind which was to grow into a big one over time. But the old man got played by his so-called friend. My father spent everything we had or owned on his dream. When our family w

[Three weeks later…]With a jump in her step, Ayla made her way to her favourite store. Things were going great with Claude finally. Everything in her life seemed to be on track. Well, almost everything.Though Claude and her were spending more and more time together with each passing day as if they were in a relationship. They kind of were, but the man never asked her to be his girlfriend despite the fact that's how he had been introducing her to everyone who saw them together.There was one other thing which was bugging her at the back of her mind. Because of peer pressure about them dating—if it could be called that—the two of them inadvertently started using black masks whenever they were in public. Neither of the two wanted to let others throw in their unwanted opinions about their relationship. Though somewhere deep inside her heart, she wanted the whole world to know that Claud

"So…"Ayla dragged it out as she turned around to stare at the man who was still standing by the doors."Mr. D'Souza?""Call me Gavin, please." He still has the same charming smile playing across his face as he walked further into the room"Umm… I am pretty sure I can not do that." Ayla let out a nervous chuckle. There was something ominous about the way he stared back at her. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she was sure that it wasn't only her mind playing with her. Something about him had shifted since the moment they walked in."Oh, please. Claude and I may not be the best of friends, but we are on our way there. It would mean a lot to me if you'd call me without any formalities." He paused before adding after a while. "Only when it's us… three."'What the f*ck!'Ala

"Because it looks like I interrupted something important."Her frown was the only thing which Claude could see but the helplessness which filled her eyes was enough of a giveaway for him. She was feeling guilty for interrupting their meeting. Well, it was more of a tour now. The actual meeting had already been wrapped up a while ago. It was what had Claude believing that her interruption was not going to have any repercussions. Even if there were any, he didn't care."It's fine. Don't worry." Claude rubbed his hand up and down her back to calm her down. Turning his attention to the group, he began. "Apologies for the interruption everyone, but let me introduce you all to my girlfriend." He was smart enough to not announce her name to the team. Though he wondered where Ayla was going with the secrecy."I am sure she must have a name." It was Mr. D'Souza who spoke up. There was a small smile playing acros
