Josalina POV
My head was aching and my eyes were heavy. I could feel me choking myself to death. It was difficult to breathe and I moved my hand on the bed uncomfortably. However, my movement was restricted due to a huge load on my bed. Series of last night crossed my mind and I could feel my blocking breath again.
I tried openeing my heavy eyes and it felt terrible. I just wish that I am in my room and the moment I looked at the ceiling fan, I was relieved. However, I turned to my left to check what exactly is on my bed and I stopped breathing....
My eyes went wide open as I saw his face. He has black hairs, all messed up now because he was sleeping, he has a perfect jawline and I have always admired it. Five years ago when he was my boyfriend, I loved licking his jawline. His face has gotten a bit more muscular and his arm was folded and I could see his muscles which were incredible. However, it was not the time to think about the charms of a monster, I should better escape before Stephan wakes up.
I slowly crawled my legs out of my bed and I was dragging my body out when his thick strong hand caught my skinny arm. I closed my eyes in despair because now there is no escape. I have to accept it. Also, where would I go, I have nothing left except this house after my parents ugly death. Hence, I decided to face the monster, Stephen.
I turned around and saw his black eyes staring at me. He was smiling and I could smell his stinking means behind it. I held his hand and tried removing them from my arm but his grip only got tight.
"Mr Richards, please behave yourself. First of all, this is my house and you are not invited here plus you have crossed your limit by finding your comfort beside me.", I said roughly.
My rough words should be a slap on his face but on the contrary he pulled me and pushed me on the bed. He grabbed both my arms hurting me and burying his fingers in my skin. I screamed in pain but he didn't care as he crossed my arms, got over me and pulled my chin to make me look at his face.
"You challenged me to leave my empire you murderer. Since it was your challenge, I will stay here and you are my maid", he said.
With every word his piercing gaze narrowed and his strength on my arm increased.
"I am not a murderer, I have already told you that", I screamed on top of my voice.
Five years ago, the death of Stephen's father was deserving because that cruel man killed my parents for the crmie of me loving their beloved son. I don't know how he died but I was jailed for the crime I never committed. Stephen ofcourse never believed me and he won't believe me.
Stephen pulled my arms up in his accelerating rage hearing my words. He made me sit erect and then banged my head against the wall. I screamed again but there was no one to show me pity. Stephen caught my chin again burying his fingers deep as he said in a cold tone,
"You are a lier. How dare you laid your dirty hands on my father... I will kill you"
Saying this, Stephen threw me out of the bed. I fell on the white marble floor and my hip almost faced a breaking noise. Blood came out of my head and it was visible on the floor. I was unable to fight back but I wasn't scared of a single word he said either so I confidently replied,
"Kill me"
I narrowed my eyes to him. I was serious, I have no one to live for. My revenge planning was such a waste that he came out being a hero even after leaving his entire empire. Also, one thing that I completely forgot about was Noah. He paid a million on my bail and since I was no use to him, he would want the money back and I got nothing. My thoughts were taking a leep when I felt a sudden pull. My hairs hurt.
Stephen picked me up by my hairs and looked straight in my eyes. He did scare me once. His gaze was cold and his grip was colder. He probably has given me bruises everywhere he had touched with a lot of blood coming out of my head. Yet he was not stopping and hurting me continously in the same places. I know what he is looking for... tears.
I cried a lot five years ago, even when I was in the prison, I fought with blustering people with cruel intentions. I have dealt with all of it. Also, with Stefan's ignorance to my innocense as well as my trust, I am broken mentally as well as physically.
"I will not kill you so easily. I will make you suffer. It's better that you are out. Now, I will make you suffer in my way. You will serve me now and I will snatch every piece of you until you take your last breath of regret.... you gold digging bitch!!!", Stephan screamed.
He threw me back on floor and walked on my palm as he left the room. He was definitey frsutrated because he didn't gain what he wanted. Fear and grief in my eyes are long lost and about snatching something from me.... I have nothing to lose. However, there is one thing I am losing, my respect. I am not a gold digger. Stephan loved me too. It is a pity to see him walking on his father's path.
I got up and went to the washroom. i switched the shower on and stood under it. The water drops washed my head dripping the blood off kissing my bruises making them burn a little.
"I miss you mom and dad... I will meet you soon in the heaven" I said and wiped my body with a towel.
I came out of the bathroom and stood in front of my cupboard. My past clothes were still hanging there safe. I have become weaker now so I won't have any fitting problem. I picked up a blue shirt and a black formal pant for the office. I have to face Noah, no matter what I end up with.
I turned back to close the door and I was horrifoed to see Stefan sitting back on my bed. I was in towel!! He has lost all his manners because he was staring me. Actually, he was checking me. He looked at my naked legs with such lustful gaze that it made me angry.
"I request you to leave my room immediately", I said.
"What if I don't?", he asked me.
Stephen indeed was playing with me and I was the one who got hurt so I picked my clothes and decided to leave the room myself. As I was walking out, this shameless man caught my towel and snatched it from my body leaving me completely naked. i was so aggrevated at his shameless act that I turned around and slapped him. However, to the contrary of my response he was calm. He handed me the towel, pushed me aside and left the room without saying a word.
I bet I slapped him hard then what exactly changed.....
Stephan POVJosalina was getting on my nerves. She was testing my patience. I should have killed her when she looked in my eyes and asked me to do it but I no more want to be the Genie of a gold digging bitch. I will make her suffer for every toxic moment that I have spent with her. She killed my father and I will kill her soul.The moment Josalina came out of the bathroom in towel I decided to rape her. This way she would lose her entire self respect and will beg me in fear that I was not able to find in her. It seems that she is really proud of her crime and I will make her regret it. I walked behind her and snatched the towel wrapped around her delicate body.Her long black hairs were tied in a bun and she was facing the opposite direction. I was about to force her on the bed when I saw her back. It was completely bruised. Those were whip marks all over her back and they didn't seem to be ready to fade. It was like she was tortured on the same place repeatedly. I was stunned and I
Josalina POVI thought I have nothing to lose but Noah was the only one who came to see me in jail. He talked to me for hours helping me feel relieved. He is my best friend and I can't trust Stephan. I have to act like his slave for the moment until I find a way to safeguard Noah. Noah and Stephan were best of friends but then I am not sure of what exactly changed and I better find it out.Also, when Stephan had a backup plan after his resignation from the post of CEO then I am pretty sure, he hasn't lost everything he owned. He still have a lot in his control.I gave Stephan food and to my surprise, he asked me to sit with him. He was finally calm and I could sense it. I have to meet Noah and explain him the situation. I have to help him prepare a plan to escape the grip of Stephan and hence I in a very low pleasing tone asked Stephan,"Can I ask you something master?", I said.He nodded chewing a big lump of bread and was unable to speak."I want to go and meet Noah once because I o
Noah POVWhat kind of idiot this woman is? I first released her paying a million dollar so that she can become the reason of the downfall of her ex boyfriend Stephen but no, instead of sharing his stocks, this man outwitted everyone by leaving the empire in the hands of his brother. Josalina is so foolish that she took so long to realize that Stephan never lost anything.I was about to use her more but she paid my money back and now I have no reason to control her. She even mentioned in the note that she wants me to run. My blood was boiling. It took me five years to gain her trust and hear her stupid childhood talks. Now I am all doomed because she was of no use to me.Well, I still don't get one thing. Why did Stephan announce that he will marry Josalina publically. I am preety sure that after making such a statement in media, he can't really stepback, then this means he is actually goung to marry her. It didn't seem as if he was actually in love with Josalina. He must be taking rev
Stephan had his hands on Josalina's waist holding her tightly. Josalina was wearing a white shirt and a mini blue skirt with her red school tie. Stephan was wearing his white shirt and his blue pants and the school tie. Both were standing at the corner of the school building beside a huge pillar. Stephan was slowly planting his kisses on Josalina's neck while she was enjoying his touch.They were both madly in love and were indeed the most famous couple of the school. Stephan was madly in love with Josalina even though Josalina's parents were poor. Josalina held Stephan's hand that was running on her shirt finding an escape to touch her boobs and kissed his palm. The bell rang and it was time for them to leave.Stephan however was not ready to let Josalina leave. He flipped her and looked in her eyes. He moved his hands smoothly within her hairs and pulled her closer. He took her lower lip within his lips and Josalina allowed him. She opened her mouth to give him space and they kissed
The next day in school, Josalina was not present and neither was Noah. It was strange for Stephan because he has never seen both of them absent together without informing. Josalina had to find work for living. She wanted to be so successful that she could sue a billionaire like the Richards. Josalina was envious to tell about the situation to Stephan but she had no idea of how he will react.Josalina blocked Stephan's number and decided to leave the school. Stephan was all lost in school and was waiting for Josalina to show up. It was already the third class that Stephan was continuously attending waiting for Josalina to show up and he finally had a glimpse of her outside the window."Josalina...!!!", Stephan screamed disturbing the entire class.Everyone had their eyes on Stephan but little did Stephan cared about others opinion. He picked up his bag and ran out of the class. He could hear his teacher screaming his name from behind and threatening him for restrication but Stephan kep
Josalina POV"This house is in your name now", Stephan said.We entered a new house, something that doesn't belong to me. It was a huge mansion unlike my small wooden house. It was beautiful, there were so many lights and an expensive carpet. The living room itself was larger with expensive furniture. At the end of a living room there was another room stuck beside it. It was probably a store room.My entire old house's furniture was thrown in that room. My house was abandoned, I had spent my entire childhood in that house and now I am watching my half broken furniture useless at one corner of a palace. This is how I had always imagined my position to be in Stephan's house when I was his girlfriend."why can't I live in my house? I have spent my entire childhood there", I said."because the house is no more... It will soon be demolished", Stephan said.I was stunned. It was as if someone ripped my heart in thousand pieces. This can never happen. Why would anyone ever would want to demo
It was already morning now and Josalina was still hurt. It was extremely difficult for her to move but after last night's conversation, Stephan was not really ready to show her some mercy. Josalina hopped towards the kitchen to prepare the meal. Though there was a maid in the house but Josalina was a bigger slave than the maid."You are already late for the coffee and if you will burn the meal then I'll burn your ass", the maid said.The maid was a middle aged woman, probably married and divorced with two kids. Her face was wrinkled but she loves to endure her beauty. She was bounded by the deal that whatever happens in this house, she can't reveal it outside. "Let me tell you something, you don't get to talk to me like that and I cook much better food than you do so you better stop pissing me off", Josalina slammed the maid.When Josalina and Stephan were love birds, she used to prepare food for Stephan and sneak it in a tiffin box because Stephan loved Josalina's secret recipees.
Josalina POVAfter all the humiliation I was running back to my room half naked but this was not enough. He called out my name, the moment I reached the door and I stopped,"you better remember that your useless father would have someday thrown you out of the house....now I owe you a lot and you need to start behaving properly", Stephan said.It felt like he just smacked a stone over my face making me feel ashamed. How dare he talk about my father. "Atleast my father was not a murderer like your father", I said.I looked in his eyes telling the truth. He looked at me coldly. I moved my hands out of my cleavage depicting how shameless I am. After all, I was like this everyday in front of man who bruised me in the prison. He stepped towards me and I stood erect. I have to do this and face this man. He has been humiliating me and now he has taken over my home and is not even letting the dead rest in peace.Stephan came very much close to me and whispered in my ears,"prove it""give me
Josalina POVI was devstated with Stephan hiding things from me and about the fact that I wasn't a part of Noah's revnge. However, it doesn't feel that bad. Infact, it is good to be back. I feel like going back and check my house. I remember it leaving in a shattered position with all my furniture lying in a closed room stuffed. I was a dependent back then but today, i will buy the place again and build a better house such that no one can destroy it in seconds.Tears roled dopwn my cheek as I thought about it. On the table near my bed was the contract of my employment at Stephan's workplace. I am given the position of the senior lead. At last, he finally understood that I am much more talented than he is. I smiled reading it and signed it. Somewhere in my heart, I am not interested in leaving this place either. When I was keeping the contract back in the envelope, I found another paper in it. I brought it out and it was basically a letter. It was from Stephan stating the reason of hi
Stephan POVHe crossed all the limits now and I couldn't even bother to look at his face. I wanted to punch it and spoo I threw the wine glass away and moved my fist to punch him hard but his reflexes worked quite well. He moved his head back and saved himself. I angrily held his shoulder and looked at his eyes. He was still smiling playfully and at the same moment, I suddenly remembered what Josalina had taught me.Throughout this revenge procedure, Josalina was consistent with the exact revenge procedure. In order to take revenge on Noah, I have to give him exactly what he did to me. I untied my belt and pushed him on the bed.His facial expression suddenly changed. He was here with a plan too. I know he would never hurt me turning me against Josalina was always his plan and ofcource, he couldn't let me hurt him too so he had gun around his waist with a pocket knife in his pocket. I felt them the moment I pushed him on the bed.To comfort him, I removed my shirt and he raised his ey
Stephan was sitting on the couch with a letter in his hand. It was the goodbye letter from Josalina. The shef kept a glass of juice in front of him and was about to leave when Stephan stopped him and gave him the hundred dollar note."Is there anything that you want sir?", the chef asked.Stephan's heart was burning and he bit his lips so he took a deep breath and then said,"Nothing, just give fifty dollar to the cleaner. This is the amount for keeping the guest happy", Stephan said.It pained him terribly when he called Josalina a guest. He wanted her to be the queen of the mansion but everything turned upside down with the revenge of breaking trusts. Stephan felt what he actually had lost.He remembered the last look on Josalina's face when she was taken to the prison for a crime she never committed. Stephan realized that he has come a far way and what Josalina did to him was something very minor. Choking himself down, he picked up his phone to check updates on Josalina but he got
Justin wasn't feeling special here. He was still not able to figure out what to say. The entire room was a reflection of Stephan. Justin was sure that a long time love cant be erased in just a few eetings. Also, he was still not happy with David's reaction before so he asked,"Are you sure you've stopped thinking about him?"David pulled Justin closer but Justin got out of his grip. Justin didn't wanted it to turn out into a romantic sweet talk but wanted serious answers. David realised this and sat on the sofa facing Justin,"Yes", he answered."I was thinking about removing these pictures but I wanted you to see them first", david answered."These pictures are not what I am talking about", Justin claimed.David wrinkled his forehead and gave a questionable look to David."Why did you pull me back when I was about to fight for Josalina?", Justin made himself clear.David sighed. he wasn't expecting Justin to come up with this."I care about Josalina more than you do. Trust me, my bos
The three flew back to where Stephan was. A driver was already there to pick them up. Josalina was resistant to go back but she was forced to do it, hence she took James along with her so that James can be safe in a different country too. James was carried on a stretcher to the main building and he was given a separate room with the doctors to take care of him.The moment the other three reached the living room, they saw Stephan sitting on the sofa. His legs one on top of the other, his face filled with agression and his veins bursting with the ultimate protein he got. David and Justin bowed in front of her but Josalina reflected his means. She sat in fron tof him without showing respect.However, there was something fishy today. There were a lot of people inside the licing room, many of them holding guns. It was as if most of them have took the rebelion in their hand. John was not around yet the bodyguards were there for nobody but Stephan. Josalina was stunned with the suudden chang
Its been two weeks already and suddenly there was a buzz in two different countries. The headlines were foced to change overnight.The headlines at Country A read, "Popular Interior architect and the lead was stabbed brutally!!!"while the headlines for country B read, "The criminal Noah who had fleed from the prison a few days ago was found in pieces at his residence".Josalina was admitted to the hospital in a very critical condition. She was stabbed in stomach, she was fully aware of what was happening arounf but she was in excruciating pain. She was being treated in the operating hall when the doctors suddenly refused to operate on her."the cut is so deep. A professional killer must have done it", one of the doctors said."We cannot operate her, the police needs to give us a permission first", the other doctor said."but she is dying", the third one came forward showing concern.However, the doctors didn't hear him and retreated their actions. The heartbeats were getting slower a
Josalina was back in the country and David was supposed to pick her up. David reached the airport fifteen minutes early. He decided to wait in his car with the music on. At a distance, a desperate man was staring at the car waiting for he owner to come out but even after five minutes, David didn't come out.Justin finally decided to walk to the car and he knocked the window. David was stunned watching Justin. he didn't expect him hear. He switched off the music even though he knew that he can't hear Justin. David has been avoiding Justin ever since Justin has expressed his desire to be with him. David bit his lips and rubbed his fingers trying to decide whether he should open up or not.Out off patience, Justin knowcked the window again. David realized that this is not going to end and that he have to face him. He lowered the wondow pane and said,"just take a step back.... I am coming out"Justin nodded and got back. David picked up his phone and tablet and walked out. However, the m
Josalina POVMy heart was wrenching with every word that Stephan was disclosing about his relationship with Noah. if I will take a closer look, then I had lost half of my childhood in immense betrayal and partial statements. I got up to get a glass of water while Stephan was still on bed staring at me with an odd but sympathetic face."Strip", i said after gulping the glass of water.I turned to look at Stephan and he was now staring me with wider eyes and confused expression. He frowned in excitement or anger, I am not able to understand."Are you serious?", he questioned.We recently had sex but he still doesn't trust me with him stripping. This is true, he do understand that we got no relationship between us and whatever happened was just a mistake. Also, with the tension that he was facing right now, I could feel that he vblames himself for breaking my trust or he is still in a bad position with whatever had happened between him and Noah."Do I look like joking?", I asked him.He
Stephan POV I woke up on my bed and my body was hurting like hell. My eyelids were too heavy and my head was cracking almost. I moved my hand to hold my hand but my muscles were like hurting me. "you should keep your calm. Its all right", I heard John said. He came and sat near me and helped me with my headache. He rubbed his fingers on my head massaging them in the perfect direction. Tears rolled down the edeges of my eyes. The calm breaths that he was helping me take was reviving my memory from last night. I realized that i couldn't control myself, I lost everything that I had because of my own foolishness. I remembered how I spent the night with Noah in his arms and how he arose me. I remember that there was time when I threw myself at him for pleasure. Josalina crossed my mind. Everything was over. Josalina would never trust me again. "How is he doing?", I heard a sweet voice and I remember this voice clearly. I opened my eyes in shock and got up to sit. I looked at her, the
