~Better a cruel truth, than a comfortable delusion.~
Ravi sat besides his aunt so only two of the chairs were left. Zion and Hannah naturally had to sit with each other. That was going to be the most uncomfortable and awkward dinner of her life.
In the start, Hannah did not care about getting married. She was just worried about the behaviour of Zion. But now, when the time of marriage is getting closer, she is getting anxious. Her heart was beating so fast against the rib cage that she is sure, even he has heard it's beating.
"How about we sign the papers first?" Mr. Aiden Black suggested at which everyone agreed besides Zion and Hannah.
Mr. Aiden Black observed Hannah. "Hannah...." He called her so she was forced to
~ Your soulmate isn't someone that comes into your life peacefully. It is someone who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality. Who manages to revolutionize your world in seconds.~ They had dinner in a cheerful ambiance. But Hannah was not able to swallow a single bite. 'I am surely going to get indigestion.' She thought. The staring competition between Daniel and Zion was still not over and she was the most uncomfortable person because of it. If it was possible to kill a person just with eyes, she would have been dead long ago. Finally after a long time, the dinner was over and it was time to say goodbye. These two to three hours passed like eternity and Hannah let out a silent sigh of relief. She planned to go home and start a new life. Daniel was not going to bother her again and suppose if he does, then Angela had already thrown a bai
~Speak your mind even if your voice shakes.~ Soon, the vehicle halted in front of the tiny apartment which Zion had seen before too. Hannah stepped out of the car, "Good night." She said but he did not even bother to look at her. 'His mood swings are worse than a pregnant woman.' Hannah thought and shut the door with a little more force and the car drove off leaving her alone. His ignorance did not hurt her this time. Hannah entered the password of the house and went inside. The house was pitch dark. 'They must have gone to sleep.' She thought and took a sigh of relief because she was in no mood to answer their countless questions. Hannah went to her room and took out a PJ from the closet. She took a shower but today wasn't her day either. Daniel
~I'd be his, if he asked.~ In the morning, Hannah woke up from the wildly ringing phone. She rubbed her eyes, trying to remove the signs of sleep from the eyes and glanced at the blinking name on the screen. It was her mother and she couldn't avoid her but this time she was not going to tell her what her husband has done to her. It is of no use. Last time she got to know, she married him. Now, if she will get to know the reality, who knows what will happen this time? Maybe she will have to live with Zion and she is not ready for it right now. "Hello." Hannah spoke in her sleep voice. "Hannah, ohh God. Thankfully you received my call. Where are you? Did you come home last night?" She thought Hannah didn't come because she was with Zion. "Eomma, I want to tell you something." Hannah was damn serious
~If you could read my mind, I am pretty sure you'd either be traumatized, sexually arouse or both.~ Hannah's days at Jess's home were probably the best days of her life. Her own home brought unluckiness in her life. Here, she could concentrate on her studies better. Her life got easier. She left her part time job at a club. Now, she only works at the cafe and a convenience store. Her work life was smooth and the confidence which lacked about gaining a scholarship was also coming back from the continuous hard work. Even though she got no time to sleep, she was happy and had no complaints. Jess was also understanding of her. Whenever Hannah would be busy in her studies she never bothered her with anything even if it meant bringing a glass of water. She was genuinely cheering for her success and she believed that Hannah will make it one day.
~She, a bad luck and curse for me.~Zion stormed out of the janitor's room. He slammed shut the door of the car and left the school. He was really done with today. He needed someone to get his frustration out. The cause of his fury was Hannah. So, it wasn't going to be a good day for her either.Zion held the steering wheel tightly. Even his knuckles turned white and the vein on his temple was also popping out. "I will fucking kill her today." Zion shouted.He broke all the traffic rules as a result he hit someone's car from behind. That pitiful man was waiting at the red signal."FUCK IT!!!" He shouted.Of course the other party was also mad. That man came out of the car and knocked on his window. Zion rolled down the window. "What do you want?" He asked as rudely as possible.He was humiliatin
~Her inner thigh begged for a kiss and my lips made it rain.~ Angela was little taken aback by his sudden demand. "Why do you suddenly want her contact number?"Zion was really pissed off, "Isn't she my wife? Do I need your permission to talk to her?" He replied rudely."Zion, behave yourself. This isn't the way to talk to your mother and you can talk to her later. Right now we are discussing another matter." Mr. Black scolded him.Zion let out a loud sigh, "Dad, don't you trust your own son?""I don't." An unexpected reply was heard."I don't know what I should do to prove myself. But that bitch Emma was the one who threw herself on me. She took the initiative. When I humiliated her she complained. Wow!!!" He paused, "People like her really don't deserve respect. I know I have done a lot of th
~Don't mess with my fucking brain.~ Hannah was still surprised by the call from Zion. It took her a lot of time to recover from the shock. Finally, she unfroze and brush off the uncomfortable thoughts. She started to walk on the pedestrian pathway when she heard a car honking behind. Hannah thought someone was trying to follow her so she continued to walk on her path. While her heart was thumping wildly inside her chest. The car gained its pace and stopped in front of her. The window rolled down and she found someone familiar sitting inside. "Hannah, are you trying to run away from me?" "Ravi?" She asked with a little surprise plaster on the face. "Oo." He acted dramatic, "You remember my name. I should be honoured." Hannah smiled at him, "Yes I
~You know its true love when your feelings don't leave even if the person does.~ Zion went to his room since he had nothing to do. He opened his mobile phone. There were some notifications on the picture which he uploaded a few days back. He was swiping through them and unknowingly he reached the notifications that were showing the name of a user 'lost in the unknown.' He remembers every single word of conversation with him. Still, he opened the profile to check it. He opened the most recent picture. It was a painting. He read the captain, "Happy birthday to someone who
