Silently, the door opened and her mother appeared, a sad smile on her lips. She breathed out a distress then switched off the light to close the door behind her, with a sigh again. She didn't go and disturb her daughter as it was now a usual habit to see her like this every morning, not on her bed but by her table with the diary opened in front of her.For the past three years, no one knew what happened to her during that holiday. She kept on telling them that she couldn't remember, but deep inside, her mother knew that something hurtful had occurred and that each and every night, her daughter's blood turned into ink, writing out the words she couldn't speak aloud.In the room, a broken woman has fallen asleep
searched her face worriedly.''Are you okay?" She frowned.‘You must know that it was never meant for us to meet each other. We just met by pure coincidence. Or maybe our meeting was just a mistake- done by fate.’Devlin's words kept on echoing louder and louder in her mind. It was unbearable. Sarah squirmed away from Maria’s arms and covered her ears with shaky hands. She was in the middle of a nightmare. She covered her ears more tightly, hoping his voice would go away but in vain. It was getting louder and harsher.‘My wish is that you go back to your life and live it as if you never met me! Forget every single day you spent with me. Forget every memory we shared-forget-just forget everything about me.’Sarah screamed fearfully. Tears rolling down her face to dip on her lap. The pain was too deep and too much. She couldn’t bear the burden of it! Why had fate brought me this treasure only to rip it away from me so soon- too soon! She asked in her mind. Why ? Why?! Now her own voic
Jordan let out a heavy sigh this time. He wanted to help Devlin but a more powerful strength was ruling over the events; that is fate. “Then at least, go and visit, one last time.”Devlin shook his head. He lowered his stormy eyes.''Dev, she's still unconscious. Go and see her one last time. Tell her everything that is on your heart. You won’t meet again anyway. So, better to lighten your feelings now than to miss this opportunity forever.” As Jordan’s words hit him, Devlin met his gaze. Jordan gave him a reassuring smile. Only then, he nodded. His heart skipped a beat then started to gallop. His legs felt suddenly weak and his jaw tightened to an extent that it made a sound. His fingers hardened in a tight fists, his rough fingers were piercing his palm, almost bleeding it. His gaze, his gaze was soft but sorrowful. Devlin gulped before he muttered sadly,''Sarah...”On the small bed in front of him, laid a weak and unconscious lady. The lady who met him by coincidence, the lady
“You think you are a genius, huh?! You crept over my skin and pretended to the same as my son, you think I would think twice before killing you! But you are wrong, wrong!” His rage mirroring Devlin’s. They were both breathing sharply, the murderous eyes glued on each other. Cesare sent another punch on his nose and bled it. Devlin’s fury was closed to explosion! He returned the punch back on Cesare’s jaw. The latter didn’t mind the pain as he launched once again on Devlin. He locked his forearm around his neck and squeezed. Devlin clenched his teeth as he started to gasp for air. Cesare dragged him from behind, their limbs struggling against each other. It was like a bull fight!Please, please, make him confess quickly! I don’t have much time! Devlin prayed with his throat tightened and his breath sharpening. Devlin was not weak. In fact, he was better at combat than Cesare was. But he had to control his power! He knew in one blow he could kill Cesare but he could not risk this! Wit
His gaze instantly flickered to hers and they instantly darkened. For a second they stared into each other's eyes, and she heard her own heart beating, fast and loud, echoing in her ears like the sea in a shell. His eyes dark with anguish, hers bright with tears. Devlin is here! Sarah let out a sigh and slumped her shoulders. Within the blink of an eye, the five men raised their firearms towards him and Oscar knelt down, seized her tied wrists and lifted Sarah on her feet again. ''Now that there's no escape from here, why don't you remove this mask?'' Cesar asked as he approached Devlin with an air of arrogance and menace! Devlin lifted his hand without any hesitation, started to take off the scarf. Sarah’s heart stopped! What was he doing?! She shook her head. No! She shouted mentally. When Devlin removed it completely, Cesar stared at him in shock and after some tensed seconds he laughed out, an amused sound. A smile met his eyes.''Wow, my Lucky! You really took me off guard
Why was life always so complicated? So fraught with problems? Like walking on eggshells, you could hear them breaking at every step you took. If only it was easier to see ahead and know the consequences of what choices we made! Devlin moaned inward. Emotion and tension flooded through him as he thought of Sarah. Not sending her away, he admitted, was indeed his greed. He knew it was his greed but he had kept not wanting to hear the reasons why he should send her back. He kept making excuses of how it was okay not to send her. So, something bad really happened!As he broke all speed records, Devlin’s scared heartbeats were whispering only one word, Sarah. Please, don’t let anything happen to her, please. For the first time in his life, Devlin prayed vehemently. Sarah’s head ached. She could feel an unfamiliar bump on her forehead.Slowly she drifted out of her unconsciousness but opened her eyes abruptly when she remembered what had happened!At eight o'clock, she had left Devlin's h
''You're wrong! You're so wrong!” She cried impatiently, certain that she must be in the midst of a living nightmare.Devlin sighed and put an arm around her trembling shoulders.‘'Sarah, you know what kind of life I lived and what kind of man I am. You witness how dangerous- You must go back and resume your life in your world. I promise you, you will find someone to love...” Sarah shook his hand off her shoulder at once.''I-I can't go back to that life, not that I've found you, Devlin.” She cracked and finally sobbed, unable to prevent the hot, frustrated and frightened tears from trickling down her face. ''You don't, you don't understand...”''Of course, I do!''The cold, harsh tone of his voice hit her like a blow as Devlin roughly shook her shoulders. He swore under his breath.'' Can't you see that the time we spent together wasn't real?! It was, ” he swept his hands distractedly through his hair, ''it was an idyll- time out of mind. Surely you can see that it has little to do
“To-tomorrow? You knew my address?" Sarah could not fight it. The feeling of betrayal was back. She was only trying to comfort him! ''Yes, a very long-time ago.”''But why?”Devlin threw her a blank stare, silencing her on the spot. He means what he said! Sarah read it in his eyes. There was no way to change his mind. And...and how could she go away without confessing her love? Her heart in her hands, Sarah ran towards him to once again grab his arm.''Devlin! Don't do this- don't...” She begged breathlessly, her breathing sharpened. Snatching his arm again from her grip, Devlin continued to move away. However the following words escaped from her lipsand unwillingly, Sarah broke her own promise.''But Devlin! I love you!'' The walking man froze. And so did Sarah. She gulped. A thunder stricken Devlin turned to face her. His face was pale, his eyes widened in its saucers. A tensed silence fell. Devlin’s thoughts started to run, breaking speed record. And one by one, all the proo
Devlin instantly recognised this name. He was a very famous and merciless gangster of the time. He was a drug dealer, he often attacked, threatened big companies to be allowed to use the company name to import drugs in the country. Without any doubt it must have been the same case for his parents, Devlin concluded darkly. Even though he had committed several murders, still until this day nobody had been able to stop him as he never left proofs and evidence. From this day on Devlin’s life took a sharp turn. The smile in his eyes was replaced by a glitter of anger. From the eyes of the society he had suddenly disappeared. Everybody thought that he had gone abroad for further studies but only Jordan knew what he was up to. Jordan had urged him to do the otherwise but the Devlin he knew was lost forever. In front of him was a man with no heart, a man with only one purpose that is vengeance. Thus, Devlin had left his company in Jordan’s care and he had moved away for his vengeance. After
The sun was setting. The chirping of birds were fading while some bats could be seen flying freely above the mountain. Higher above, a few stars were already shining. Unconscious of the occurring dusk, the girl sitting by her desk, pen in hand was completely lost in her writing. Suddenly, the door of her room flew open and her mother stormed in. She switched on the light. ''Dear Lord, what are you writing in this darkness? Put on the light at least!''Unwillingly the girl stopped and raised her head. Sarah Brown, a twenty three years old lady, wearing nerdy glasses, behind which laid two big blue eyes, shadowed by a cloud of deep melancholy, followed by a straight nose and thin lips which could melt hearts when curved in a smile. Her blonde waist length hair tied in a messy bun on top of her head. When she stood up, she was a medium height not too tall, nor too short. She had a very slim and vulnerable appearance yet coated with a striking beauty.''What, mom?'' She asked in a soft ...
