Aria"How did he even end up there?!" I screamed at Mesta as we made our way to the car.It was nine and I had just woken up. Surprisingly I woke up in my room. I recall getting on a flight last night, getting home and taking a long bath. Afterwards I allowed myself to compensate for my lack of sleep for god knows how long.Mesta had budged into my room lecturing me about how I wasn't worthy of being Mecael's wife. I groaned at her presence. She explained that Mecael was in the hospital. He had fallen into a coma. My brain failed to register the other details as I threw a trench coat around me. Mesta complained about how she was not driving me to the hospital in a silk nightgown. I rolled my eyes and made my way outside. Who said she had to drive me.She followed me and with a few long strides she was next to me.She got in the driver's seat and I got in the next one. She pulled out. For the first time,her driving speed did not bother me.In fact,I was more that grateful that one o
MecaelFlashbackI dropped to the floor and everything became blurry. Once I regained consciousness,I was thrown on someone's shoulder and getting carried up the stairs I could have walked myself. Whoever it was had to be commended for their strength because I did not weigh a little.He put me on a chair and tied me up properly after guessing that the first knots were getting loose. My arms rested on the armchair. He tied my wrists to the chair. Another rope was cast around my waist. It went round the chair. He was smart enough to ensure that I was well secured.He came in front of me. The guy was in a mask. His scent was foreign to my nose. His height was just about mine. He didn't look like someone I knew. "I'm going to kill you then I'll have her all to myself." He spoke. His voice was dry and croaky so I couldn't place it even if I wanted to."Man up first and show yourself before you threaten to take my life." I challenged him."Still got your ego,huh?" He cackles."She doesn't
MecaelFloating. That's what I felt like I was doing. I was in cloud nine without the effects of drugs. Scratch that,without the effects of any illegal drugs. After the anaesthesia I had passed out for god knows how long.I turned my eyes to scan the room. It was slightly dark but I could still manage to make out some figures. I gave up after mistaking a piece of clothe hung as someone waiting to kill me. Turns out the near death experience has made me a little bit paranoid.Air gushed in the room and I shuddered lightly. I pulled the blankets closer to me. Yes I was naked. As naked as I was when I came out of my mother's womb. My ears caught the sound of water as it hit the ground. Someone was showering in my room. I had two guesses. Either Aria was in there or Mesta decided to push me. I hoped for the former.The water stopped. My gaze fixated on the bathroom door awaiting the figure that was going to appear. Slow hums came first followed by the knob turning.And there she was. I d
Aria"It's seven in the morning why are you having vodka?" I questioned getting in to the kitchen.The bottle slipped from his hand and fell into the sink. It's content poured out but the bottle remained intact.I looked over at it and sighed. "Everything okay?" "Yeah. Yeah. Everything's fine." He shook his head and blinked lazily. I frowned and filled my cup with coffee."That's not breakfast." He grumbled."You're one to talk." I walked past him to the living room.His footsteps approaches and he sits across me."We need to talk." Mecael's voice came drawing my attention from the magazine I was skimming through."Um…" I gave him a worried look. Why would anyone anyone use that tone at this time of the day. Maybe it was the alcohol. Oh Lord,please tell me he is not an alcoholic. But I've seen him drink in moderation. Only when we were at the club. Yeah,that was once.Alex walked into the room. His sweatpants were on his lower waist and he was in a vest. His body glimmered with swea
AlexA good shower always fixes everything. I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked to my closet. I was too lazy to go pick up something from the dressing room that was one door away. A loud knock came. I stared at the door and frowned. My brother only came to this place when he assumed I had done something he would not normally do. Mesta and I agreed to never enter each others room. None of my guards would ever make their presence known at my place without my permission,because that would mean death on their part. That left only one person. I breathe in deeply and walk to the door."Aria…" I call pleasantly.She huffs and makes her way past me. She hits my arm but doesn't bother about it. "Explain." She demands.Aww. With her tiny self I only wanted to pin her down. Even better to tuck her down on my chin and kiss her head.I wonder how far we would have gone if she had not ended the kiss that other time. Damn I need to know how my brother kisses. He was infront of me and
MecaelSoon as we walked into the room, Aria's lips locked with mine. She pressed her body against mine. I picked on her pace. I bit her lower lip and out tongue twirled together. I deepened the kiss and she moaned in return. We pulled away both breathless. She laughed as I kissed her forehead."What was that about?" She asked. "Who gives a forehead kiss after that?" She laughed lightly again."I'll ask you,what was that about?""Oh. Me slapping your brother? He was being an asshole.""Good but remember no cussing?""No. I remember yes cussing but not at you. When you're hearing me."I held her hand and walked to the bed. I sat and she placed herself beside me."Why do I look like I'm in trouble?""Not of a serious kind.""So you're not going down on me?" She asked with a frown.My hand traced her face. I ribbed on her cheeks and placed a light peck on her lips. "I really really want to do that but you've got your first class tomorrow and I don't want you walking like you got an inj
MecaelA wedding. She had asked for a wedding. Not that I did not want to do it. I simply did not expect her to be the one to ask first. It is going to be the greatest wedding in time. Every single one of her friends would be present. She did not have many. Simply put,whoever she wanted to be there would be there without question.This time I will not walk out on her. I'll take my vows. I'll put the ring on her finger. A honeymoon would follow. Our marriage would be consumated. It's going to be the best thing in my life. She was the best thing in my life. I should have met her mom and thanked her for bringing her into the world and taking care of her.I groan when the person knocking did not sieze. "Come in." I say after the third knock.An angry Mesta stormed in. "I've been knocking on this damn door for a whole minute!""If I had known it was you I…""Are you ignoring me? Because you appear to be very unsuccessful in doing so. We live under the same roof for heaven's sake." She dr
MecaelI focused on her figure. Steadily, she stopped shaking. The hands covering her face dropped to her laps. Her stained filled eyes were raised to my figure that towered above her "Wha–what?" She gave me a pleading look. Like she was silently begging for what I had said to be true. For it not to be some words she heard because she wanted to.I squatted beside her. One of my knee touches the ground. "I love you." I repeated. She wiped the tears away though most had already dried. The mascara spread further all over her face."You–you do?" Her voice was low and shaky.I smiled with my lips sealed in a tight line. "Of course." I opened up my arms. "Please don't that." She pushed herself from me suddenly rising to her feet. "Don't give me hopes." She shook her head frantically her hair swishing from side to side. "Don't."I remained in my position. My gaze focused intently on her.Was i giving her hopes that I was not going to act upon? As far as I knew I was saving Aria and I fro
