Chapter 1Mistake"So do you want me?""I guess""May I drive? You are drunk"."I am?"She went to the driver's seat and opened the door. Her dazzling black eyes highlighted with silver liner and mascara meeting his hazel greens. She widened her lips to a broad flirty smile."Can you shift ahead so I can drive?" she said sweetness pouring her words."Oh yes yes.." he was lost as if he was seeing something else something ecstatic and obediently shifted to the passenger's seat.Her perfectly manicured nails decked up with bold red polish on her fairly tanned hands and the couple of silver bracelets she was wearing had few hangings were twinkling and ringing sweetly making musical notes when she rested them on the steering wheel of the white Audi that she was about to drive. She rotated the keys with a diamond embedded keychain which was carving of a bird was hanging."Where to?" she asked ignorantly as to follow the directions mentioned by him."Wherever you like love" he mentioned and
Chapter 2 Friends With Whore Edwin woke up woke up disoriented. He took a turn, his hands searching for Stella, eyes closed. He desired to cuddle her like he did every single night. She fits so perfectly in his arms. 'I love her you much' he muttered half asleep. From the day he had seen her for the first time. It was love at first sight and he really had to work hard to win her and convince her to marry her. 'Now she's mine. I love to kiss her on her cheeks with her eyes closed in deep slumber.' He thought 'But where is she now? Oh she's not keeping emotionally good. She's angry and so she is at other end of the bed. I will grab her from there." She wasn't there too. Reality hit him like cold water on the face 'Wait! Wait! Where am I?? This isn't our room. The bed is different.' He slowly lifted his heavy eyelashes to find himself at an anonymous place. 'Am I dreaming? Am I actually alive? Why don't I remember anything?' He got up on his feet shocked. He panicked
Chapter 3 Love At First Sight "Sure you want to listen to my story?" he asked unsure "Till you don't mind sharing" Rosie replied as he was uncomfortable and fiddling with hands. She was seeing a nervous man for the first time. Otherwise she had only seen men in hollow darkness where she could only visualize the pitch dark sexual desires that vanishes in one night and they do prefer to leave before the sunshine as if brightness would erase their immoral deeds. She wondered if they even considered it immoral. For few it would be as casual and recreating as taking few shots of alcohol before going to bed.He said in a surprisingly humble tone, "Excuse me for a while" and went to the washroom. What a thorough gentleman he is. She thoughtHe was even completely dressed up before she woke her. She would have actually enjoyed his masculine abs tense in anger. Not that she was a perverted kind of whore but this man was special. He seemed to get her attention in a special way like
Chapter 4 Crazy Love"I did not believe in love then. All I wanted was her and I was magnetized by her." Edwin said chuckling to himself and smiling a broad smile filled with love, real love"What you never realized that you fell. Fell madly, completely and totally in love with her?" Rosie spoke more excitedly than ever. All these years she had come to the conclusion that love is a vague feeling. "You think so?" he asked lost in his past still smiling like a love lost puppy."Yeah It's all over your face. It's in the glint of your eyes." she answered honestly.Rosie never believed in love till today but this guy in a short span of time has turned from dumb lost alcoholic to angry young man and now a cliché' youth lost in his memories of loveEdwin blushed and simply chuckled to it getting lost again as if he was back there living the moment all over again. "And then.." Rosie was now anxious about the entire thing. She was dying to know . "Oh yes then.." he said seemingly excited an
Chapter 5The Chosen OneRosie straightened herself, “she must love you a lot, treasure you?”"You think so?" he asked, his jaw muscles tensing up all of a sudden as he remembered something."I positively do. I also envy her even if I haven't ever met her. What a fool she..." she was stopped mid-sentence by an annoyed looking Edwin. Edwin coughed, disappointment creeping his face. "Sorry just a weird thought" she defended myself"Remember she is my Stella. I cannot hear a word against her." He said possessively."By now I already know that" she said lifting her hands in surrender making both of them smile in unison. "Then....” she checked the waters making sure that they both were good she said “continue please" she could have begged him to continue with the remaining story, “I will die of suspense""Right where was I?" he asked more to himself amused to live those moments again as he narrated it to her."Basket ball tournament. You did win it right ?" she prompted for him."Yipes
Chapter 6 Love? Only Love? Edwin's love story [flashback] I was chuckling at myself holding the hand of the most beautiful girl of the universe and I never ever wanted to let it go. I had missed her so much that I realized that it was love, only love. Only love can make you miss someone like crazy.. Today when she stands right in front of me I know I am in love '''''''''''''''''''''' “As you said madly, crazily and fondly in love” Rosie had hearts replaced by her balls like heart eyed smiley emoji '''''''''''''''''''''' "Edwin leave my hand." Stella pleaded feeling embarrassed of being centre of attraction as everybody started staring back at us. "Oops sorry. But promise me you'll come to watch all my matches." I asked smirking. I could feel goosebumps on her hands because of my touch. "Otherwise you'll go for starvation." She chuckled mockingly and I scratched my hair behind my neck in nervousness thinking what to reply so I decided to stop pretending and speak the truth.
Chapter 7 Love- it hurts Bzzzrrrrr bzzzzrrrr Her mobile buzzed loudly with her panicking. "Time up let's leave. It's the safest now." Rosie straightened all of a sudden and was ready to leave as she picked all her belonging scattered everywhere and the small sling bag. Not really concerned about what she was saying Edwin got up, wore his shoes while she wrapped herself in one of the scarves, she was carrying in her bag to hide her flashy outfit that was more of a prostitute uniform. Edwin followed her to the door as if he was an alien in the planet Mars not knowing a bit about the place. He knew nothing about the place. He was unconscious when she brought him here. He wondered how a lean and delicate skinny girl could drag him here. It felt weird. But this girl is strong inside both physically and mentally. "Hurry up" she said pulling his hand. As soon as she opened the door wide, there was a tall, husky figure on the door passing by. "Holy shit" she spat, and then turned
Chapter 8Friends in pain "Stella Stella I am home honey. Where are you?" Edwin shouted longing to see the face of his beautiful wife She was not in the projector room where she normally waits for him whenever he is late, nor was she in the kitchen. 'She might have dozed off in our bedroom. She's not feeling well lately.' He deduced The receiver of the landline was unhooked. He kept it back on the cradle looking for her in their bedroom which was on the first floor. None of the workers were visible. He guessed she'd given them a day's off which she normally does to feel the freedom and satisfaction of maintaining things on her own. 'Thank goodness' he looked upwards praying 'she's feeling normal again.' She was neither in the bedroom, nor the pent house. He decided to check the washroom. Where else could she be?. "Stella, my love. Are you coming or shall I enter in." No response. "So I am coming". As he opened the bathroom door, he saw trail of blood flowing through the bathtu
Chapter 121It is NormalIris always knew that she loved him truly but hearing him from Edwin simply was enigmatic, it was a kind of turn on."hence” edwin sighed as he put back her fray strands of hair behind her ears “I love you and I love each and every part of your body even your abdomen where Isabelle rested for nine months" he smiled and went back to her torso.His hands moved around her lower abdomen creating tiny crackers insides her body the soft harmless ones that erupted every where making her moan. Just when Iris got used to his magical touch, his fingers were replaced by his tongue, which raised the level of pleasures the tiny crackers increased on their intensity forcing her to make cries of moan.Iris closed her fist unable to control what was happening inside her when he bit exactly below her naval, the magnitude of pleasure reaching new heights and Iris closed her eyes."No do not close our eyes" he said commandingly as he looked at her. When her dark met his hazels
Chapter 120Beautiful Love "I am sorry Edwin." Iris said. "I did not trust your love, I was scared and disturbed of having $ex with you" she looked at her toes embarrassed of what she was saying. "It was unfair. I knew I hurt you. I feel very low of myself."He cupped her face in both his hands, his touch tender making her lean her face, giving up her strength and submitted to him breaking all her wallsIris looked back at him as he repeated the words "I am sorry" he said "I should have understood, I forced myself on you. I should have courted you first, showed my love, made you believe in love and win your trust first that I do love you.""Edwin" Iris called his name; his words so polite and sweet making her heart melt. Iris was not used to something like this and couldn't believe that this was happening. She wanted to stop him, so that it does not get washed away. "With all the hardships in my life somewhere I had accepted happiness is curse for me and I cannot have it and so" s
Chapter 119Picture PerfectIris turned around to see Edwin and a red blush embraced her face."Umm... I guess I am early." Iris said to cut the intense silence between them.Edwin complimented me. He said I look pretty.I am blushing!"No you are on time." He offered his hand for Iris to take and she did.He walked with her at the start of the first painting.He pressed her hand softly making her look at him.The innocent grin in his hazels made Iris lock her gaze at him. He raised his eyebrows gesticulating something. Iris was so lost in his handsome face that was full of love for her that she couldn't decipher his actions.He put both his hands on her shoulders and turned her around pushing towards the first painting from the row.The painting was covered with a netted curtain. Edwin lifted his neck asking her to undo the curtains.Iris looked around as if she was stealing from a departmental store. I mean who was she to unveil somebody else's property?But Edwin gave another
Chapter 118Date NightEdwin...Iris sighed... She was behaving like a teenager in cliché' love.After the day she let her fears out to Edwin, he'd been distant. He never shouted or lost temper.He'd even polite and normal with Isa and her too.Sometimes Iris wondered if she had kept her mouth shut the other day, things would have been different.I should have tried on my own, I shouldn't have bothered him. I could have made excuses but I couldn't lie to him direct on the face..Again the way he asked, it felt that he cared and so Iris let the doors of her insecurities wide open in front of him.For better or worse... it's yet to decipherOtherwise she believed he would have easily guessed it out. Exactly like he guessed that something was seriously wrong within Iris and their relationship.Probably Iris's confession the other day made him realize what she was earlier and now What if he loathed me, felt disgusted with the thoughts of having $ex repeatedly with a prostitute.' Negati
Chapter 117I Am Not A Virgin"You are in love." Twain couldn’t be happier, he was smiling from ear to ear."I do?' Edwin spoke for himself "I don't know how but every time I shout at Iris with an attempt to hurt her so that she despises me and walks out of my life, I feel the pain, ." He shuddered at the memory "Her eyes that'd turn glassy for a fraction of a second and jump back to normal again hurts deep in my heart.I cannot hurt her. Ever""You two good now?" Twain could see the answer on Edwin's face but still he asked "She looked so pretty in the morning when she was showering all her love on Isabelle, the way she looked at Isabelle, helped with her tiny feet to wear those shoes, the patience she was portraying when Isa was showing her tantrum throwing her shoes away every time she tried to put them on her. My heart constricted with a strong feeling for her." Edwin smiled faintly "That feeling made me realize that I was doing what Stella wanted to do. I was falling for her but
Chapter 116Can We Fall In Love Twice?Edwin held her from shoulders, his grip tight enough to hurt as he pulled Iris making her look at his eyes which were not furious; they were confused."Hate you... tell me how do I hate you Iris? Tell me? I tried to hate you. I told myself Stella didn't fight her disease because she had YOU.' He stressed on the last word and then loosened the painful grip. Iris's hands brushed the place he held tight to rub away the pain.But her eyes and ears focused on the man who was her legally wedded husband.For the first time the authority of his voice made her realize he was her husband"I want to hate you because you agreed to sleep with me. I want to hate you because you loved me even when you knew I was married and you could never have me. I tried to hate you." His voice soft now and his hands closed to her, his fingers brushing her cheeks for a second and then he moved the strand hair on the face behind her ears.He moved closer giving a short peck o
Chapter 115Hate Me Like You DoIsabelle turned one year and six months today. She was the sweetest child Iris had ever seen, not that she had seen much of children in her life but still Isabelle was the best and she loved every bit of her. She gave meaning to her existence, she was heir to my unconditional maternal love, and she was her world.Today when it was time for Edwin to take Isabelle for a morning stroll, Iris was playing with her trying with the new jumpsuit and shoes that she had brought for her especially for a morning walk.Edwin saw Iris with her and cringed; he was getting restless to take Isabelle in his arms. He got so impulsive that he shouted at Iris that even Isabelle got scared and leaned her shivering body close to her.She was so scared that she hid behind Iris peeping at Edwin's figure in dismay"Its okay baby." Iris kissed her forehead and handed her to Edwin.Edwin had a grimaced look on his face, completely disappointed at the fact that Isabelle was scar
Chapter 114Time & PatienceVoices of playful Isabelle gurgling, laughing and Edwin's soft honeydew laughter woke Iris up in the morning as she lifted the covers put on me while I was asleep.Iris knew who the one behind it is and her lips curved to a smile....Antonym of emotions seared in Iris.She felt guilty, ashamed and terrible about herselfHow can a mother sleep when her child is in danger? Or was it all a dream?Iris opened her eyes to shut them again.The bright sunlight emanating from the windows made het squint as she reopened them, her heart pounding with fear. Iris was jerked back into the past when she was surprised waking up in a complete different ambience.Isabelle crying, her abdominal pain and then Dr.Simpson uttered those words 'Isabelle is critical', Iris went out of control.Oh shit! I even slapped the doctor.Iris behaved like a possessed screaming, shouting and cursing when the staff and the nurses held her tightly making her wince with her inner pain and sh
Chapter 113Cruel Words With pounding heart Iris reached Stella's room She panicked when she found Stella lying on the floor straight, her face reflecting pain and Isabelle in her arms.Stella looked at Isabelle with concern and as Iris scanned the room.Iris could judge with Isabelle's crib half fallen and Stella's leap to save her falling from that cot of hers.Quickly Iris picked Isabelle who was shell shocked at her happening, Stella's pained face doing no good to calm her down.Lulling her for a second Iris nestled her on the bed and still she sat straight at an instant, fear lined on her face as Stella stayed on the floor with helplessness, small moans of pain escaping her mouth.Being a healthy baby of almost 11months Isabelle tried to reach Stella.Stopping her with a stern 'Sit" gesture Iris attended Stella. Iris tried to lift her off the floor but with the pain she was bearing, lack of cooperation on her part did not help."Stella please try." Iris begged."Isabelle" Stel
