I felt good after telling my bestie about everything. I was relieved that she was very supportive. But I did not felt good when her expression changed and the way she said that nothing would ever happened between her and Noah. And I definitely didn't liked the ways she sounded while saying this or the way she fell at bad.I rested besides her and now we both were lying on my bed and staring at the ceiling of roof."Amy I'm not liking the way it sounds," I stated. She sighed and placed her hand on her forehead."You won't Layla. Because this is the truth, the reality."I waited for her to complete the story, lay her heart Infront of me but she didn't. The Amy I know never hides anything from me so I was really concerned when she didn't tell me anything. I looked at her from side and found her expression stern and she wasn't even blinking her eyes. She was stuck somewhere, and if I want to help her out, I needed to make her at ease."I had
Never in my life I imagined that Amy had to go through all that stuff again. I promised myself that I would protect her but I failed. She didn't told me anything about it and I didn't even ask her anything because I never imagined it to be this way. This is the topic I can't relate to. The pain she has gone through is immense."What do you mean Amy? When the hell did you meet Luke? And why didn't you told me anything about it?" I asked slightly hitting her shoulder.She looked down once again, exhaled a deep breath out and looked me in the eyes once again. I could see how her tears were on the verge of falling again but she was controlling it."I told you just now that I met him a month ago,""Well thank you for this piece of information but you know I'm not referring to it," I complained."Mall. I met him there. When I went out on the weekend before this mess happened," She explained.I tried to calm my nerves down."So did he say something hurtful? Did he tried to hurt you?" I asked
"Stop the alarm Amy,"My hand somehow went to my back and landed on the body lying beside me. But that body didn't bothered moving and remained still. I grunted under my breath, taking her name once again. Finally there was a shuffle beside me and the annoying sound of alarm stopped.My eyes were still closed and sleep was about to hit me once again when Amy shook my body aggressively, completely catching me off guard. I wiped the sleep left in my eyes and looked at her. As usual, her hair was a mess first thing in the morning."What the hell bro?" I asked the reason for her being this violent first thing in the morning."Come on wake up. It's 7 in the morning. We need to get ready cause we have stuff to deal with Layla," She reminded me as she removed covers from herself. I was about to ignore her when she suddenly pulled covers away from me and nagged like a mother."Come on sweetie don't behave like a child. You are big girl with big responsibilities,"I seriously got irritated and
•NOAH'S POV:I looked over my watch and it was telling me the time of my faith and how everything depends on my acting skills which I'm not so sure about, 8'O clock. And once again I've reached earlier as usual.I then looked back to the company building standing tall above me. On the building it was written "TY Projects" in the centre. What a dumb name to be honest just like the dumb owner. Why TY though? It could have been T or something if he's using his initials. But TY doesn't make any sense. Like it stands for Thankyou and not Tyler.I guess I could have wasted my whole time standing there, looking at the building and debating on its useless name but I didn't. I decided to walk through the company's gate and went straight to the reception. What's the reason for judging his company's name when I'm going to destroy it anyway."Noah," I told my name to the receptionist as soon as I reached it. She smiled at me and bowed."Welcome Sir. This way please," She requested me to follow he
•LAYLA'S POV:I walked around the kitchen and finally reached the refrigerator. I wasn't thirsty at the moment but I had to pretend that I was. I looked over Amy's shoulder towards the library room which was opened. Okay the coast is clear.We were here in none other than Aiden's house. Back to another meeting because Noah said it's urgent. We are a bit early because it's 10:45 am. We are 15 minutes early I guess but to be honest that's what I wanted. To reach here early in order to carry out my plan successfully."Amy can you do me a favor?" I asked as soon as she was about to sit on the stool."Say the magic word,"I rolled my eyes at her this childness. This was so filmy. More like Celine's type but I guess I had to do it in order to actually help her out."Fine. Please," I said with puppy eyes and pouting my lips."Ok you win. What's up?" She replied raising her hand in defeat.Good. She's not aware of the fact that she actually got trapped in my trap. But I did say the magic word
We were standing there and looking at each other like our lives depended on each other. Her lips parted away. I felt like that this was the moment she's going to run away. There was so much in her eyes right now but that's what she always did. I saw the way her throat worked, how she gulped slowly until a voice finally came out of it."Is there something wrong with it?" She once again gulped nervously and continued "Can't I praise you or give you a compliment?" She innocently asked.Amy didn't moved away or snapped back at me and that was weird of her. As well as the things she said on the phone and the soft tone she is using now. Everything about her was surprising me today. But that was in a good way as well because things were finally starting to look good between us."Have you ever complimented me before?" I narrowed my eyes and asked a question even though I was aware of the answer but I guess she wasn't."Things change. People change and I guess I'm changing as well," Her voice
I didn't bother looking back. Now I was all alone in this library, surrounded by books and much more darkness. This isn't how I expected things to be but I guess that's how things are going to be for a while even if I don't want them to be like that. I was helpless and I wasn't liking it.I shutted my eyes for a moment and tried to absorb the conversation we had. I needed to once again pretend that nothing had happened between us. I need to get out of this room and think that the conversation between us didn't effected me. I had to pretend and once again , I was just so done by this pretending.Everything was so clustered in my mind and heart that it was getting heavy. You know the feeling when something worse happens to you and you are not yourself anymore. You heart is heavy and you feel like there is something stuck in your throat and it hurts but you can't do anything about it. And that was exactly how I was feeling.The only person I ever wished could become mine, wanted to be no
•LAYLA'S POV:I kept looking back and forth from my watch to the door again and again. I gulped down another sip of water from the glass. It was my third glass of water because I was so nervous that I kept pouring more water into my empty glass. Where the hell were they even?Were they making some kind of Atom bomb that none of them is back yet. It's been 15 minutes since I requested Amy to go to the library and none of them is back yet. I would just barge in right now but I'm holding myself back from doing that. Others would be here soon and that would make the situation much more worse.All kind of threatening thoughts were going through my mind. What if I'm the one who messed things up? What if everything goes wrong? It's definitely going to fire me back. But I was doing something good wasn't I. I got my lesson from what happened to me and my lack of confidence in love life. But I can't let Amy go through this again.First time, her pain was enough to give her a deep wound for year
First of all I would like to thank you all for reading it till the end. This book was one of my first novel ever and I've learned alot from it. It took me almost 1 year and 6 months to complete this book. It taught me so much that it will always have a special spot in my heart. I love you all for reading it and supporting it continuously.This book would not be here without certain people in my life. and I would like to take a moment and appreciate Thier efforts as well. Saamia Shabbir, one of my best friends who supported me throughout this journey. Her nickname is Amy, so you can see where that character came from. She even helped me with the making of few big plots in the novel. She is the best part of my life to be honest. Saamia, this is all because of you.Nabiha Ather Farooqi, my another best friend who's also one of my very first readers. I'm sure as hell that she would be nagging at me to give her more chapters right now. No one can support me better then her. And yeah man, do
3 Months Later:"You look so pretty," I complimented Amy as I entered from kitchen to her room and sat on the bed."Thanks I know," She said while blushing clearly, but she would never admit that."Another date?" I asked."Yeah well I got to know about it today so let's see. I guess it's some fancy restaurant and I feel like this red dress would be perfect for it," Amy twirled around and once again looked at herself in the mirror.I was so happy for her because she finally found her happiness. Since Amy and Noah started dating few months ago, Amy has been happier then ever. And everyone knows how crazy Noah is for her. He literally worships her secretly. Well about Carlos and Celine, they are still in Thier talking phase. But I'm sure as hell that they would end up dating one day so I'm not that worried about them.I looked at my phone and there was no new message. And my boyfriend? He's busy I guess because we haven't talked or seen each other since 32 hours and yes I was counting. I
Aiden was so emerged in his work that he didn't notice my presence in the room. That gave me the leverage to look at him for a while and admire him a bit. This man is a piece of art that I could admire for hours. The way his sleeves were rolled up while he was swiftly typing on the keyboard was a view I would love to watch any day. God made him with so much effort. To this day, I still can't believe that this man loves me and he's mine.I made my way toward him slowly but still, he was unaware of my presence. The coffee table was filled with paper and files while he was working on the laptop. Aiden stopped typing and leaned back on the couch as he sighed. I wonder what he's working on. All of a sudden his gaze met mine and I immediately smiled at him."How long have you been standing there, staring at me like that?" His voice was heavy like he haven't said a single word in the last few hours."Like what," I asked as I made my way towards him, eyes still on him."Like you're in love wi
The heaviness of blanket covered my body as I slowly opened my eyes. For a second, I was lying still and staring at the ceiling when suddenly I jolted up as the events of past few hours of my life hit me. I looked around and realized this wasn't my room. A second later, relived washed over me when I realized its Aiden's room and I'm resting on his bed. When did I fall asleep? Why am I in his room? And how did I even get here?I looked at my phone and the time was 9:00pm at the moment. Woah! How long did I slept for? Last I remember, it was past 3:30 pm. I unlocked my phone just to find 1 missed call from Carlos and 10 missed calls from Celine. I couldn't help but smile at their differences. One was someone with dead serious personality who would never call twice. While the other was someone with a really caring personality who would do anything to make sure that you're alright.I just find both of them very cute and suitable for each other. I guess opposites do attract after all. I'm
Stephanie continued stating her reason regarding why she helped William."He recorded my confession about how I'll help him get rid of the file and few other things which were against me. William threatened me with them and said that he won't be the only one going down. I got scared Layla, I gave up and did whatever he asked me to do. I thought I won't be able to do anything without him. But a few days ago, I found out that he was also responsible for Liam's death. That's when I got furious and started digging on him. I even got hands on the file he was so scared of getting public. It wasn't complete but it was a start. I know my company's image would be destroyed too but I'm ready for that. I'll do anything to put him in his place Layla,"If only she knew Carlos was already putting him in his place. But I won't tell her that now. I'll tell her everything when I'm done. And I wasn't done yet. I just started. Today I'm going to get all the answers I've been finding for years."Why Liam
“Can you slow down a bit?” Amy calmed the storm going inside my head by suddenly asking me to slow down. I didn’t realized how much fast we were going until she called me out. I sighed heavily and slowed the car down as Amy spoke up again.“That’s why I suggested that I should be the one driving. Your focus is somewhere else and you know it,” Obviously it is. Life decided to fuck me up suddenly and my focus is there.“It’s kind of my therapy you know,” I tried to come up with the lamest excuse I could because at this point I was anything but calm. She was right that I shouldn’t be driving right now but I can’t help it. At this point, I don’t even know what to think and how to justify anyone’s behavior.“Talk to me Layla. Don’t fight this battle alone inside your head. We’ve been through a lot but always together,”It is true that my brain is having a war inside of it right now and it’s also true that Amy and I have gone through so much together. But I don’t think I’ll be able to descr
I wanted to start with basic questioning that's why I started with something lighter."We both know you've killed my parents and my brother. So I guess so was the next right?" I threw my first question at him as he smirked."I would have killed you alot sooner but what can I say, I was just being too generous."William was not giving me straight answer and I'm afraid I'm not leaving him alone until he answers my every single question. The only way to make him speak was this, I grabbed my gun from the back and pointed at his head. His eyes widened in shock as I continued to speak."I'm not here to play games with you Willam. You know how much good I'm with guns because of my father so you better answer my question seriously this time." I threatened him which seemed to work and threw my next question at him."Why did you kill my parents. Was it for Thier money?"William was quite for few seconds but he knew I was determined so he finally started speaking."It wasn't for Thier wealth to b
Layla's POV:Oh god it's happening, it's happening, it's happening. My mind keeps chanting the same thing again and again. I swear to God I feel like I'm having a heart attack. My legs can't seem to stop shaking anytime soon. Same goes for my hand and the rapid beat of my heart. I'm not prepared at all. I even didn't got the time to process it all and now here it is.We are actually going to deal with my uncle Today. Today is finally the day and I needed a few days to proceed it. But Carlos just told me yesterday at Aiden's house that we are taking care of my Uncle after all I need to do is kill him. Like that's one of the most easiest task in the world. Well it's not and I needed alot of time to mentally prepare myself.But Carlos had some important work and he would be gone for a while. He is leaving the country for a while and won't be back anytime soon. So I had two options, either wait for him to come back which god knows when or just go with it today. I decided that I don't want
Aiden's POV:My cheeks felt wet as soon as I woke up. Where the hell am I? I looked around and saw Layla sitting besides me, staring out the window. I wiped the potential tear of my face as the memories of what happened few minutes ago hit me up. Was I crying while sleeping? Thankfully I didn't made any weird noise.I moved in my seat and sat up properly as Layla turned to me when she noticed me waking up."You're finally awake. We were just about to reach your house." Layla announced."Oh the princess is already up?" Noah asked from the front seat."When the hell did I dozed off?" I confusingly looked around."As soon as I pushed you in this car. I'm still thinking about how you did that."I'm surprised as well. I guess I was just too relived that my heart and head felt lighter. Anyways it was a good hell of a nap so I'm not the one complaining about it. I feel even lighter after that nap and that's even much stranger. But I'll just ignore it because I've never felt something like th
