I walked down and went to the dining hall and greeted Mr and Mrs Knight. Mrs Knight was usually scoffing but Mr Knight blessed me like always.
"Uh.. I am going to stay at my sister's place tonight." I said.
"Going to the other witch's place." Taunted Mrs Knight and for once I want to make her shut her mouth.
"Stop it, Sarah. You don't have to ask, dear. Go wherever you want." Mr Knight said reassuringly.
I smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you." He just laughed and after breakfast, I went to Marianne's place.
I saw the last person I wanted to see at her place.
Jayden.
Ryan POV:-I couldn't focus on anything, my mind always came to Rebecca, thinking whether she is alright or not, is she fine alone? I couldn't leave her alone at home. I need someone to be with her in my absence. She needs someone to be with her, to hold her close. I hope Mom doesn't piss her off. I should have left her at Marianne's place but my heart is not convinced by it. And no matter how much I try I cannot shrug off this feeling of uneasiness. “Gosh, this is the worst.” I muttered, noticing the person next to me thought I was talking to him and opened his mouth to speak.“Hey-”“I was not talking to you.” I replied coldly, sighing deeply, closing my eyes.I hope someone will be by her side to tell her that he is here or she is here for her so that she can be at ease until I come and hold her.I just cannot pay attention to anything but her. The thing which left me most dazzled was whether she is thinking about me, whether she's missing me like I am missing her or not?I don
My heart once again felt feeble when I stood outside Marianne's place. I swallowed hard and knocked, Marianne looked at me with a hint of shock when she saw me. I gave her an icy look and once again asked about Rebecca, "Call Rebecca." She turned and I saw Rebecca with a guy. Her eyes met mine, her sapphire gaze went wide. “Hey.” I passed her a smile and opened my mouth to say something but she ran to me and engulfed me in a hug.“Ryan!” Her petite form hugged me, clutching my shirt and burying her face in it. “Rebecca? Are you okay?” Perplexed by her action I hesitantly put my hand over her back and rubbed it gently.“I am glad you are back.” She sniffed, I looked at her, my heart clenched when I saw her crying. She was crying while hugging me."What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked, softly consoling her. She sniffed again and wiped her tears. I kept staring at her intently wanting to know what happened. I cupped her cheeks with my one hand and made her look at me."Are y
It's been a week since I came back, after that, we didn’t exchange much words. We are still staying at my parents home. She kept her distance and so did I. I also think it’s for the best, before we both make an irredeemable mistake, we better pull ourselves back because we both know we are not meant to be together, which somehow pricked my heart.“Ryan.. Breakfast is served.” She said, dragging me out from my thoughts. I went to have breakfast.“Are you devoted to Ryan?” Mom asked.“No.” She lied. I didn’t react and stood up.“I’ll take my leave.” I said.“You broke his heart.” Mom said. Rebecca looked up at me and passed me a faint smile.“I am not hurt.” She said, turning back to her food. I have lived with you enough Rebecca to know what this sentence means. ‘You have my heart. And I have yours.’A smile crept upon my lips as I shook my head and walked away and left for my work. My day went normal and I returned home, unaware of the upcoming storm.I entered and saw Rebecca look
“ I AM SO IN LOVE WITH HER! I FUCKING LOVE HER!" I shouted, confessing the truth I have been trying to hide all this time. Mom was taken aback by my words. At the same time, another voice came, "Sarah." We turned and saw Dad returning from Grandma's place. "You go to our room, I need to talk to Ryan alone." He said, looking at me intently. I looked away and remained silent. "Have you heard what he said, Xavier?! Oh my God." She exaggerated. "Go now, Sarah. We will talk about this later. ""No we can't! It's about our son's life, we cannot talk later." She argued. "I promise I will tell you about it, you go." Dad smiled at her which immediately calmed her, which reminds me of the moment when Rebecca snuggled to me and received tranquility from it. "Promise?" She asked, innocently. "Promise. You go." Dad said. Mom nodded and left but not before sending a glare in my direction. "Come, son." Father patted my back. I nodded hesitantly. He took me to the bar and poured us a drink
Rebecca POV:-I felt extremely depraved, my heart felt ashamed that I wasn't able to tell Ryan why I did it. My heart is filled with fear and anxiety. I wanted to hold him and called out to him but I couldn't. For the sake of the secrets which would be burned; the better. For the hidden truth which can't be revealed at all cost. For Marianne...“Please… I didn’t cheat…” I whispered, falling on my knees when he left.My soul is giving up on me, my heart is cursing me for remaining silent. I felt immersed in extreme agony, feeling utterly broken desiring purification. “You have disappointed me, Rebecca.” What I was dreading happened. Ryan will leave me too like Jane. When I thought we could be one, something came and shattered everything. My last ray of hope blew out right in front of me. “Please… don’t go. Don’t.. Leave me in the dark…” I cried, curling my hands in a fist. The redemption I finally thought I had found was taken away from me and the most heartbreaking thing was th
"I-I want you." "And for what?" I said, leaning in. "T-To have a photoshoot with me." I raised an eyebrow at him. Not understanding his words. "Why do you need it?" "I am getting paid for it." Upon hearing it, the only person that came to my mind was Papa. He can do anything to get what he wants. I don't think anyone else would do this. I felt disgusted, ashamed to call that person my father. I know Carlos must be scared now but he can spread the news of it. I grit my teeth and pushed him away. I put my one hand on one side of him
I don't want to lose Ryan. My heart is filled with extreme distress and apprehension just by thinking about it. I have done it for Marianne but still... “Fuck, fuck fuck!” Pulling my hair in distress. The regret ate me up from inside. I felt like crushing under the weight of my deed. The feeling of repulsion for myself is so strong that I want to rip off my skin. I let out my loud convulsions of misery. Losing myself in the anguish, I cried my heart out. Utterly deprived of energy, I was turned devoid, nothing came to my mind, I was lost in the abyss. My despair got the best of me. My heart seeks only one person who is not here; Ryan. So that he can hold me and tell me he is here for me. That he can giv
Ryan POV:- I am sure that even if my dreams are shattered, their fragments will always remain yours. There I saw Rebecca, submerged in the tub. My heart lost its beat. The star which was shining in my sky fell. My emotions got lost somewhere in the darkness. “No, No, Rebecca… what have you done?” I couldn't make out what happened. What was between us shattered this very instant and I realized I was late. Everything slipped out of my grasp. I was left in that turn of my life where I cannot return from, where nothing but agony resides. Silently tears mixed up with sweat and rolled down. A sudden courage was given to me as I quickly rushed to her and t
My heart was torn to countless pieces. Regret ate me upon seeing her like this. She let out loud sobs as tears also rolled down my cheeks in heartbreak and remorse as Rebecca began to say between the sobs. "Please Ryan.. I beg you. Take everything away from me.. But.. But please.. Don't do this for me.. I.. I can't live without you.. You are my everything.” She cried. “My life.. My breath.. My heartbeat.. My smiles.. My reason to live.. Everything resides in you. Please don't take it away… please don't leave me.. I will do anything. But please.. Don't hate me. Don't leave me…” Her words evoked woeful tears, the realization that my presence is all she needs and I failed to realize this. “You are my hope for tomorrow.. After taking me out from the abyss. Don't leave me there anymore. After becoming my light, don't fade away.. Please, I beg you Ryan. Don't do this to me…" She begged, lowering her head. A loud gasp of sob escaped my lips as I held her hand and kissed them, rele
Ryan POV:- There is an eerie silence in the house. It doesn't feel like home at all. I missed Rebecca a lot and felt so heartbroken when I couldn't be able to tell her how much I love her and what her worth is; which is greater than any riches of heaven. Even if I try, I can’t tell her how vast my love for her is. A pain inflicted on me and hurt me a lot to see the empty wall as no sound of Rebecca can be heard anywhere. No smiles of hers reached my eyes. I want nothing from God but to bow in front of her. I worship you too. She is present in my very prayer but Dad plus the doctor's words are pushing me in turmoil. I have to let her go because I am
My eyes slowly opened when a bright light fell upon my face. I blinked a few times to adjust my vision. My heart felt hollow as I felt so weak. I looked around and found myself in Marianne's room. My throat was dry. I shifted and saw Marianne, sleeping on the couch. “Papa…?” I slowly sat up, my head hurt along with an aching pain in my heart. I put my hand over my head and closed my eyes, feeling heartbroken. “Marianne?” The creaking sound of the door made me think that it's Ryan so I quickly shot my head but the one who came was Papa. "Papa." I whispered. "Oh, My child, Finally you are awake." Papa came and patted my head. He sat beside me as I
Rebecca POV:- My everything came to halt when Ryan told me that we have lost our child. My world came to a crash, my breaths stopped, my mind went blank, my reason to live suddenly began to feel meaningless. “What have I done?” I was willing to bear any pain with a smile but this is something unbearable. It's all my fault, my pathetic decision killed my child. “No, this has to be a lie…” I was on fire, my eyes couldn't see. My body couldn't feel anything but devastation. A deadly ravage roamed in every inch of my core. I was losing my breath. Nothing in this world can be comparable to this heartbreaking pain. I was damaged beyond repair, killed from inside.
An involuntary smile crept upon my lips when I read it. Getting some motivation on how to love from him. If Jayden loves someone, that person would be lucky. If I didn't give this to Rebecca, I would be unfair. I can feel the pain of his words. I put it in my pocket and went home. My heart skipped a beat as unnerving thoughts stirred my mind. I went home after two days, I hoped Rebecca would be alright. I guess at that time, she must have thought about things… about us. Now Jayden is gone, the only way to find liberation for Rebecca is.. divorce. I shuddered when I thought about it. I swallowed hard and searched for Rebecca. “Where’s Rebecca? I told you to
"Don't touch me!" I said, holding her arms and pushing her away, unintentionally it was a little hard which caused her to stumble and it tore my heart. How can I be so harsh? "Why are you doing this?!" She shouted, falling on the ground. "I never desired you in the first place, get out of my life." I said looking down at her. Her breath hitched when she heard it. She looked at me with a hint of astonishment. Invoking a ravage inside her, throwing her into an endless pit of turmoil. “W.. What?” She kept looking at me to find any hint of affection but the only thing which was plastered on my face was seriousness which intoxicated her in venom.
Ryan POV:- I have told so many harsh things to Rebecca, she is hurt. My words are breaking her heart, my whole being is giving her scars. I am doing things to her which I never thought I would. I am deliberately pushing her away and being this cold to her hurt me. I don't want to do it but I have no control over my senses and I am lost in the delusion that she can only be happy if she stays away from me. “Doctor, I complied with your word but… my distances were only hurting her.” I said sadly. “I know, Rebecca told me. Ryan, I know taking the responsibility of an emotionally fragile person is extremely hard. I doubt you could do it.” He sighed. “There is a possibility,
The next day, I woke up and saw Ryan sleeping beside me. A smile crept upon my lips when I saw him but It was a sad one and the only question on my mind was, 'Why are you refraining yourself, why are you pushing me away?' I closed my eyes and remained like this, not wanting this moment to end and wishing that he doesn't go back to his cold personality again. "Are you awake?" He asked softly, my heart skipped a beat, worried he might not scold me. I nodded and said faintly, "Thank you." He hummed and shifted. We both sat up and I kept smiling at him. No words were exchanged between us as we both got ready and he did what my Father did.
None of us spoke another word after it as the time passed quickly and I went home even if I didn't want to. "Where were you?" I heard Ryan's strict voice from behind, he was leaning on the wall looking at me direly which made my heart race at his dominance. "Why do you care?" I scoffed, folding my arms. "I am tired of living in that room. I will sleep in my room, come if you want." He said nonchalantly. My eyes widened for a second when I heard it. A shiver went down my spine, I turned to look at him. "Don't leave me, Ryan. Please." I said in a barely audible tone. "I won't stay in that room. Learn how to deal with your fears." He said firmly, which immerse
