~I wanted to believe in you so much that I started lying to myself.~

-Arch Hades.

Zion had no intentions to go home nor Lucas had. Both of them were disturbed because of one person but Zion was not ready to accept the reality. He was still not ready to accept the fact that she is his wife and she is not someone to lay down in the bed of anyone. But in the struggle between heart and mind, he was listening to his genius and sexy brain more.

However, Lucas was not able to figure out the reasons behind her sadness. He wanted to make her the happiest girl on the planet but she was not willing to do it at all.

When Zion came to the football field he did not think much and accepted his offer. But Zion wanted to know why Lucas is taking interest in Hannah.

  ~How strange to dream of you when I am wide awake. ~Next day, they were having breakfast when Mr. Black addressed Hannah, "Hannah dear, from today onwards I will drop you at the university and the driver will pick you up. You will not have to go with anyone else."From 'anyone else' both Hannah and Zion knew he was talking about Zion but they stayed quiet and Hannah nodded at him.Zion left half of the breakfast and left but no one asked him to come back and finish his meal. They were giving him some time and space to reflect on his actions while he felt like his mind is like a ticking bomb which is ready to explode at any moment.What happened last night, he had recalled each word for the nth time but he was still not able to reach the conclusion.Zion stepped on the accelerator, "I will do what my heart will say from now on. The fucking useless brain had brought me nowhere. Mom and Dad are angry at me and Hannah, she is always crying because of me." He made a resolution.Meanwhile,

  ~The secret of happiness, flowing not forcing.~The quiz went well but the bigger hurdle than it was waiting for Hannah. In a week their midterms were going to start and with that her all nighters were increasing.She plopped on the sofa in the living room without knowing that the devil was also sitting there."You already look quite hideous and with those eye bags sagging, it's quite a sight." He sarcastically told her and Hamnah just rolled her eyes."You know what, by continuously rolling your eyes you can also get pink eyes." He kept on teasing her but inside he knew she was stressed about her studies unlike him, who pulls all-nighters just to play games."Shut up, Zion. Don't talk to me." She roared."Actually, if you want my help I can help you but I think you have forgotten, you haven't made coffee for me yet." He faked anger."Get lost. Do I look like I'm in a mood to make coffee for you? Why the hell did I come here? I wanted to have some rest but he keeps on getting on my ner

  ~Say you want me too.~"Hannah, you are coming on the trip with us, right?" Erin asked as they were coming out of the class."She is definitely coming." Lucas said, but she does not know from where he came? He has nothing better to do these days."I will have to take permission from home first. I cannot go anywhere without informing you." Hannah told them as she bit her lip. Lucas understood what she meant by it. If she was living with her parents, she wouldn't be so formal but her life would totally change."Hannah, I never knew your parents are strict." Erin had no idea about her so she said."They are not strict. I just have to inform them first." Hannah smiled and spoke in their defence. If it wasn't for Angela and Mr. Black she would have run away from there."Okay. But you are coming. I am not going alone." Erin gave her a warning."You are not going alone. Your whole class will be there and other departments too." Lucas rolled his eyes at Erin. They are always fighting like kid

  ~This is the beginning of loving you.~On the way back home, the peaceful silence was surrounding the ambience. But suddenly Zion stepped on the brake and she saw a shadow in front of the car."Oh my god. What happened to Zion? Don't tell me you just hit an animal." With the fear in her eyes, she looked at him."I don't know, Hannah, I will have to look." He stepped out of the car and she followed him. Hananh saw a really cute and small kitten. But he was dragging his leg and going to the corner."You have really done that...." she glared at him and he ran his fingers in the hair. He was so preoccupied with what happened in the cafe that he lost focus on the road.Hannah ran towards the kitten and took it in her embrace. She carried it towards the car, "We are going to the vet." She was informing him and he wanted to go against her idea but when his eyes met with the pitiful kitten's he could not speak aloud his opinion.The kitten looked exactly like the one in puss n boots.Zion set

  ~You are not good for me but baby I want you.~The kitten got really close with Hannah. It would follow her all day long, making someone jealous. Zion was trying his best to keep it out of the house but Angela was letting him do that nor Hannah was ready for it. In the end he had to give up."We are going on a trip tomorrow. Who's gonna take care of it?" He asked while watching her helping the kitten in drinking milk."I have asked Iva. She already has many cats in her apartment. She can keep it for 2 days.""You are one stubborn woman." He complained."Again with this word woman.... What's your problem? Get out of my room." She frowned and at her demand he realized that he was laying freely on her bed."This room might be yours but this house is mine." Their childish arguments were never ending."You are forgetting something here...." She smiled at his naiveness, "Mom, Dad said until I am here, we are the owner of everything partially. So, don't give me your attitude.""Wow. In reali

  ~Find a match for your madness.~Hannah was looking at the picturesque scenery outside. "Zion look out-" she wanted to show him but he had his eyes closed."The scenery beside me is more beautiful than outside." She whispered and tried to take in all of his beauty. His flawless fair skin, which looked even more exquisite due to the sun rays coming from the window, the high bridged nose, perfect jaws and mouth watering adam's apple.Her heart skipped a beat. "Why are you playing with my heart?" She complained and glanced around. Most of the students were either sleeping as they came out really early in the morning and the day was going to be a rather long day. So, they were recharging their batteries.Hannah leaned in closer and planted a kiss on his jaw. The wet kiss which she just placed, it was not going to let him sleep in peace.Zion turned towards her and when she found that he had not been sleeping, the surprise gripped her from all directions and she hid her mouth with her palm

She let her fingers slide in its fur. Since, her mood was already very good, Hannah could not help but hug the little kitty hard. "Ohh, I am sorry. Did I squeeze you too hard?" Hannah asked with concern. Kitty meowed in response, making her giggle and apologise once again. The day went by. At 5 in the evening, she took out an emerald coloured short dress. There were stones on its front in the same emerald color. So, when the light would reflect on those stones they would shine brightly and Hannah looked like a doll amidst those glimmers. She let her hair open and did a little bit of makeup. It was already 6 and Zion did not come back from the office yet. She went down and saw no one in the home. "Where is Mom, Iva?" Hannah asked upon seeing the empty house. It scared her today. "She went out with her friends." Iva lo

Hanmah was so engrossed in the feelings that he was giving to her, that she did not realise that her damp dress was no longer on her body.He got rid of all the clothes and left her lips. Her chest heaved up and down as she breathed heavily. However, his eyes.... they did not leave her body even for a single moment.It was his first time seeing her, so exposed. Her fair complexion, jet black long hair and the black panties.... that was quite a sight to see. Moreover, her mounds were naked. She was not wearing a bra as it was not needed for the dress.''You are making me insane.'' He whispered with a heavy breath and kissed her neck. His hand went behind her back to turn off the shower.

She was angry at him before for bullying her regarding the dress.He asked in a manner that she cannot deny at all.Hannah gave him a small nod with her face turning red as she took his hand.

Hannah came out of the exam hall with her shoulder dropped down and her head hanging low.Zion was waiting for her and he saw that her mood was not really well. He held her shoulder to stop her, "What's wrong?""The exam didn't go well." She sighed loudly."It's okay. This isn't the only exam you had." He took a sigh of relief as it was not a big deal."What about yours?" They were totally ignoring the people that were standing besides them while their eyes were not leaving them. There was something really suspicious about these two."It was fine." He shrugged his shoulders."Yeah, why did I bother asking you?" It was an obvious answer."I said, it was fine. I couldn't attempt the last question." Hannah's eyes snapped open at his words."Why? What?""My wife asked me to leave a question. How can I defy her orders?" A grin crept on his lips while her jaws dropped to the ground.

  ~World changes when eyes meet.~The days are passing unusually beautifully. Hannah for the first time in her life felt joy. She was really happy. But the insecurities were still lingering in her heart. More she was getting habitual to him, the more she felt anxious. Habits are more addictive and dangerous than love. She does not want to leave him at any cost.The finals were approaching, so her exam fever was also perking up. Only two of them were home. Zion was busy surfing channels. He was watching her for almost an hour. But she was so engrossed that his presence and the volume of TV made no difference to her."Hannah, stop it. Getting anxious and stressed will not lead you anywhere. You are just exploiting yourself." He frustratingly said to her."Since you are such a genius student who does not need to study, you will never understand this." She shrugged off his advice and complaint."Why the hell are you doing this? For the fees?" That was the nth time they were talking about th

  ~She is the type of the girl you will regret losing.~The senior had a smirk on his face. He was thinking of an evil plan, "Kiss one of the people on your side.""WHAT!!!!" Hannah almost jumped after hearing the dare. Zion threw his head in the palms.The girl that was sitting besides Hannah, "Don't you even think about me." Hannah also had no intentions to make her gender suspicious.'It is not difficult to kiss him. We took the bus too. Just close your eyes.' Her brain formed a plan."We will drink instead." Zion announced but the more they were trying to slip away from the dare, the more others were getting curious about them."For a playboy like you, I guess it is not hard at all. I gave you this dare after thinking about your image. There is no other option." They were getting some kind of revenge from him.Hannah wanted to dig a hole in the ground and bury herself. It was really hard in front of so many people. Even though, they are legally married they never had an intimate rel

  ~You have a place in my heart that no one can have.~Hannah drew a ball. She got red. She wanted to be in the same team as him but against her expectations, he got a blue one. Leaving her totally disappointed. While Lucas and Erin also got blue. She had no friends in her team.They grabbed the gun filled with paints and the walkie-talkies as the time started. Hannah was disappointed but she moved with her team.The tall trees with the snow on their branches, the setting sun turning the sky orange, it was all breathtakingly beautiful. Instead of playing the game she was going to enjoy the view in front of her. It does not matter whether she gets outcasted from the game.With the tiny steps, she walked in the woods. But soon, the people around her dispersed and she was left alone. Hannah felt her heart thumping really badly around the ribcage. "Anyone's there?" She called but no reply came."Don't tell me I have gotten lost from the start? I should ask about the location of others." She
