All Chapters of Never Let Me GO: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~Alyona~ It made me laugh at my stupid decision, thinking of Oliver as Mr. Right. I changed my dress hastily and plumped on the bed. What were you thinking, Alyona? Did you forget he is your boss’s brother? Alexander would never allow him to talk to me. He seemed restricted with the professional relationship, and today was the first time I heard about Darcy. I never knew this man could love anyone. But there seems to be no difference between his rude girlfriend. I would say she complimented him very well. She’s a proud woman, and he is arrogant. Well, now he knows I was with his brother, and I am sure he would react to this situation. The weather was pretty cold, and being in this old building, what more could I expect? The heater was not working again. I thought to call the maintenance guy, but surely they will come in the morning. ****** The following day when I woke up, I felt an itchy throat and a tired body. No wonder the chilly room without the heater caught me off-guard.

~Alyona~ It’s not my nature to stay quiet for so long, but here I was quietly eating my food. Maybe it’s his first time to bring someone like me who is more like a liability or responsibility than a pleasurable company. “I am sorry. I didn’t want to bother you.” He tilted his body over the counter and pressed his lips together. “Seriously?” “I misbehaved with you, and all you wanted to say is this?” That line hit me for a moment, making me feel, am I talking to my boss or the man I met that evening? “Come on, today; I will give you a chance to speak the truth.” He came to me and held my hand. “I don’t understand what you are saying,” I replied, unaware of anything going around me. “Miss Alyona, I am giving you a chance to tell whatever you had in your mind from the day we met till now.” From the day I met him? Should I tell him about our unexpected kiss? What if I tell him and he throws me out of my job? “And don’t worry, I will not fire you from your job.” He smiled wit

~Alyona ~ Everything seems like a dream to me. I was feeling better with continuous medication. Besides, my health was not my focus when the man I desired the most spent time with me. The weather was pretty cold, another reason people knew New York for, We reached Coney Island, but as we entered, the guard told us the rides were closed, but the beach was open. Alexander looked at me with a guilty face. “Flop show, I guess,” he cursed himself. It made me laugh because when we started the journey; I told him it would be close because of the cold weather, but he didn’t listen to me. “Yeah yeah… tell me you were right about this place,” he rolled his eyes as he was not ready to accept his fault. “For the one day in my life, I thought about taking a girl out. I wanted to spend some quality time, but how is this possible with Alexander Hunt?” he gruffed, looking here and there. I waited for him to calm down; he looked at me with a frown. “Now what?” “Come with me,” I extended my h

~Alexander~ ‘I love your eyes and your smile. And I will never forget the way you kissed me at the masquerade ball.’ This line got all my attention; before that, I was teasing her with my words; she disliked me. Is there anything she likes about me? I tried to process the words she blurted at me, but the very next moment, I saw her running away from me. Again? Is she going to leave me the way she left me in that ballroom? No, no, no, I ran after her; I wanted to hear those words again. But she was not ready to accept it. But I had to be sure of what she said, which was the only way I could find out. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw those green orbs surrounded by the masquerade mask. I pulled the scarf and covered her face to see those green emerald eyes, the same eyes that drove me crazy that day. Fuck, I cursed myself. Why didn’t I realize her presence before? I tortured her intentionally, shouted at her, and never realized she could be the same girl. With all these confusi

~Alyona~ The morning was chilly as I moved to stretch my joints. Without mom, I felt vulnerable, but the last two nights were beautiful. It amazed me how my boss Alexander changed towards me. My unexpected confession and our kiss sent butterflies in my tummy while I hugged my pillow tightly. Come on, Alyona, get up and get ready for the office. I spoke some sense to my wandering heart. Hastily, I did all my things and reached the office. But once the elevator door opened in front of me, I was frozen, looking towards my desk. The nightmare that occurred to me that day crossed in front of my eyes. I stepped out of the elevator, but my feet were numb from taking another step. That evening, after Alexander left the office. I got busy finishing my remaining work. I thought about grabbing a cup of hot coffee, as my throat was hurting because of the cold. Nobody was there on my floor, only me with my click-clack sandal sound, walking towards the coffee machine. There was no coffee left
