Ivanna Pov's
.
I again tried to apply a break but the result was the same. I took the car towards the long and empty road. Thankfully, as I thought there was no car on the road but still, the brakes are not working which is enough to tremble my soul.
"Ohh god... I don't want to die like this... it can't be the end of my life" A tear rolled from my eyes because of fear and only one person came into my mind.
"I still love you, Stefan. I love you despite everything that happened between us. I forgive you for what you did. I forgive you my love" I thought and held the pendant which he gifted me with my left hand. I was lost in my world. That's when I felt a hand on my left cheek. I look at the stranger who wiped my tears, making me realise his presence. What kind of feeling is this? I'm stuck between my past and this stranger who unintentionally acts as a cure for my pain.
I again turned my head towards the road and took a deep breath to calm myself. Crying is not a solution.
"We can deal with this. All we have to think calmly" I muttered and looked at his side when he didn't respond to me, only to find him staring at me.
"You again started staring at me. Can't you use your mind and think of something to get out of this situation." I yelled.
"Here we are dying but all you have to do is flirt." I groaned and tightly held the steering wheel because of anger.
"It all happened because of you, neither I thought of dropping you at the hospital nor would this have happened." I was blubbering whatever came into my mind without thinking because of the anxiety while he was listening to all my nonsense silently.
"In my worst situation also, I never thought of ending my life because I loved it. I don't want to die. I wanted to do so many things for my parents. I wanted to give them all the luxuries of this world. I wanted to give them a world tour. Ohh god," More tears fall from my eyes, remembering them.
"I wanted to leave my life with someone who loves me at my worst. I wanted someone to kiss me with love, like… like there was no tomorrow. I wanted to have a honeymoon in Paris with him. I wanted to show my ex that I deserve all the happiness and love in my life. I wanted to tell him that there is someone who loves me unconditionally. I didn't want to die with a stranger but with my soulmate" I uttered all my dream wishes in front of the stranger. As only he was present with me near death.
I turned my head and looked at his side. He smiled and took my left hand from which I was holding a pendant to his hand.
"I didn't expect to die with a stranger but it's fun" he chuckled.
"What?"
"Yeah, at least I'm not dying alone" He laughed. Before I would have snapped him, he attached his lips to my lips, widening my eyes. With his right hand, he held the steering wheel so that we wouldn't lose the car's balance. He was kissing me as I said like there was no tomorrow. He was kissing me with so much love. wait… Love? what the fuck I'm thinking? We just met a few hours ago. I pushed him away and slapped hard on his cheeks.
"I didn't know, I was that bad kisser" He muttered, rubbing his hand on his cheek.
"I told you to stay within limits" I yelled and was about to hit him again when he leaned down and removed the beer bottle from under the breaker, widening my eyes.
"I was trying to tell you for so long about this but you didn't let me. In the end, I have no option other than kiss you to shut your mouth" He muttered. I applied the brake and took the bottle from his hand.
"You" I was about to hit his head with that bottle but stopped after seeing his head injury. I throw that bottle out of the window, glaring at him angrily.
"What is the need of taking this bottle with you?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. He kept both his hands on his ear.
"Why are you yelling like a lunatic?"
"Take a deep breath, Ivanna. Killing someone is a crime" I mumbled to myself.
"Ivanna" He chuckled before whispering my name, widening my eyes.
"Fuck you, girl" I cursed myself realising I uttered my name loudly in front of this lunatic. He tightened his lips after seeing my reaction. I smacked his arms.
"Ouch… Why are you hitting me?" He hissed, rubbing his forearm.
"How dare you kiss me?" I growled at him.
"I told you the reason. Moreover, I just fulfilled your wish. You wanted someone to kiss you with love" He muttered.
"But that doesn't mean I'm desperate for that kiss and what do you mean by love?" I shrieked.
"didn't you feel it?" he asked. I opened my mouth to deny but then closed it, realising I felt the love in that kiss.
"I tried my best." He muttered moving his hand in his hair.
"I imagined my girl when I was kissing you. so that you feel the love" His words directly pierce my heart. Don't know why I felt terrible after knowing that he imagined someone else while kissing me. It hurts...
"What happened, why are you giving me expressions like my words hurt you?" He asked. I didn't reply and turned my head in the other direction.
"Are you mad at me for kissing you or you're mad because I imagine someone else in you?" he asked another question, putting me in a dilemma.
"Off--course because y---you kissed m---me" I stuttered, lying to him. After all, he shouldn't get to know what I felt. I don't want him to think of me as a random woman who falls for a man just because he kissed her. It all happened in books. In reality, physical touch never helps to find your soulmate but your heart does.
"Okay," He replied with a smirk which was enough for me to know he didn't buy my lie. I frowned at myself for being a terrible actor.
"Because of you and your stupid bottle, I had a mini heart attack. Don't know what I was thinking before helping a lunatic, asshole, halfwit, donkey, monkey, grasshopper" I was about to curse him more when he kept his hand on my mouth, increasing my heart beat but this time, I didn't let him do of his will and bite on his hand.
"Aah," He hissed and removed his hand.
"Calling me halfwit but have you seen your action?" He growled and then pointed towards the back side of the car. I turned my head to look at the backseat and then down where he was pointing, only to find my box of empty beer bottles on the ground. It must have fallen from the back seat.
"It was not my bottle" he snarled. I closed my eyes, realising I was cursing him for no reason. It was my mistake. I kept the box of empty beer bottles on the back seat of my car to throw them on the way but I forgot because of the workload.
"Don't you have to say something?" I opened my eyes upon hearing him and found him crossing his hands around his chest. I passed him a clumsy smile and nodded my head negatively then nodded in yes when he raised his one eyebrow.
"Then use your mouth my lady" He muttered with a smirk. I'm sure he is enjoying this so much. He wanted me to apologise to him but I'm not going to give him this pleasure. I tightened my lips before looking at him, only to find his eyes on me.
"We should go to the hospital, my man" I muttered and sat straight. He rolled his eyes.
"Yeah hospital" He muttered. We both burst into laughter at our stupidity. I look at the men who unknowingly give me a reason to smile even when my life is full of sadness.
.
Ivanna Pov's . I was staring at this strange person without blinking. I don't know why I felt something magical about him. "It is not stupid to find someone attractive in the first meeting only but it is stupid to find a drunk stranger attractive" My mind mocked my heart. "I know, I'm handsome" I came to my senses when he spoke and sat straight. My heart was beating at a higher speed reminding me that I'm still alive. After separation from Stefan, this is the first time I'm feeling something for someone and my heart was beating at this speed. "No... don't forget what happened in the past, Ivanna... Love is meant to break people" I thought and took a deep breath to calm myself. "Someone is calling you" I look at his side and then at my phone which was on silent mode. I click on the earbud to pick up the call. "Where the fuck are you Ivanna" I heard my brother yelling at me from the other side. "What happened?" "You went out without security and now asking me what happened" He
Ivanna Pov's.I was staring at him without blinking my eyes when suddenly he held my head and pushed me down. The next thing I heard was the sound of a gunshot. I looked at him, widening my eyes and then sat straight and looked back only to find a hole in my driving seat. One of our enemies might have shot at my head and he saved me on time. I turned my gaze towards him. He was glaring at that man as if he would eat him alive. Does he even know what they are and how dangerous they are for us?"Stop glaring at him. He is dangerous and if he gets offended then he will play with your eyeballs for glaring at him." I scoffed"how dare he try to harm you" he gritted his teeth. He was still giving that man a death glare. I shook my head, realising it's not time for stupid talk or making him understand how childish he is behaving. they all are in the mafia for god sake and what he is: a common man.I look at the leader of my enemy before raising my both hands in the air, indicating to them I
Ivanna Pov's . I kept looking at him to see any kind of distress on his face but he had an impassive look on his face, making it difficult for me to figure out what was going on in his mind. "You have ten seconds to answer then I will pull the trigger" I muttered in a threatening tone but he didn't even flinch a bit. He was right when he said he wasn't afraid of death. "One.. Two. Three." I clamped up when my eyes went on his shivering hand which he raised towards my cheeks. He kept it on my cheek and wiped the blood from the corner of my lips. "Aah," I hissed in pain. That moron hit me hard. "I---I'm so--sorry" he stuttered. I sighed when I saw his condition after seeing a minor cut on my lips. He can't be a man because of whom they all run. He is shivering after seeing a few drops of blood. A man like him can't be in the mafia. "They must have misunderstood you as Lord Stan. Thanks to god we are safe" I dropped the gun and took a relief breath. It was a long drama of my life.
Ivanna Pov's . It's easy to say I want to die but today I realised how difficult it is to face death. I would have lost my life if my lunatic stranger wouldn't have stopped me and if that thief hadn't stolen my car. Tears rolled from my eyes. "Relax… Everything is fine." My stranger coed me. I look at him, only to find his eyes on me. He was staring at me with love filled his eyes. This mysterious man saved my life twice. He lovingly wiped my tears. Unknowingly he was doing everything that no one did for me except my parents. He was slowly ruining me with all his gestures. No.. I can't let this strange feeling enter my heart again. I don't want to get betrayed again in love. No... I pushed him away using all my strength. "Stay away from me" I muttered and ran away from him as fast as I could. He was continuously calling my name from behind but I didn't stop and ran at a higher speed, knowing he couldn't chase me because of his leg injury. I was running as fast as I could until I
Ivanna Pov's.I flinched when the sun's rays fell on my face. I looked outside of the window after sitting straight, only to realise I cried the whole night."Your love always makes me vulnerable, Stefan. I cried the whole night." I chuckled and wiped my tears then took a deep breath."It's enough Ivanna. There is no point in crying over a person who destroyed you mentally" I muttered to myself and took off the shirt I was wearing. I again look at all of Stefan's belongings before locking them inside the box."I don't know when I will get relief from the pain you give me, Stefan. I thought your apology would heal me but it didn't. Your insulting words still haunt me as a nightmare" I sighed and kept that box inside the cupboard then got up to live another unwanted day of my life.I was having my breakfast before leaving for the office. That's when my brother entered the dining area. I didn't even bother to look at him and resume my eating, ignoring his presence."Where were you last
Ivanna Pov's . I was staring at my smoking hot and handsome stranger. The smirk on his lips was making him more desirable. Yesterday, I didn't notice much of his features and now when I'm doing it, it takes my breath away. He looks like a mafia king of novels: hot, handsome and desirable. The beard and the black hoodie suit him. I bit my lower lip when my eyes went on his lips which made me forget the world yesterday. "Done checking me out" I came to sense upon hearing him. All my confidence vapour into thin air and my cheeks burn out, realising he caught me red-handed. "I wasn't ch---checking you ou--out" I cursed myself for stuttering. Whenever I got nervous or afraid, I started stuttering. I hate this habit of mine but it's not in my control. "You don't need to be nervous. You haven't done any crime" I turned my head in another direction, not wanting to look at his smile which always increased my strange feelings for him. The feelings that will drive me crazy. "You burned the
Ivanna Pov's . "Butterfly" He called me, finding me lost. He was making me feel alive by raising all the feelings which I buried long ago. "Don't call me butterfly" I snapped. "Why? Do my words and actions affect you?" He asked. "Affect? I'm feeling like you control my heart and tell him to increase his speed with your words and action" I thought and removed my hand from my chest before he would have noticed. "You didn't answer me? Does my presence affect you?" I shook my head negatively. "Your facial expressions don't match with your answer, butterfly," He said teasingly. "Shut up" He kept his finger on his lips. "Why does he need to act cute now?" I cursed looking at him. He was making me fall for him with every action. Why? Why is he affecting me this much? It's not good. I can't let this stupid feeling called 'LOVE' destroy my life. I can't... "Stay away" I mumbled the same words to him that I said to him yesterday. "If your happiness comes from me being away then I wil
Ivanna Pov's.I was looking at my handsome stranger whose eyes were roaming all over my face as if he was trying to note every detail of my face. His smile while staring at me made me blush. My eyes widened when he went inside the water holding me, making me gasp for air. I encircled my hand around his neck and then breathed heavily when we came back to the surface."Relax" He muttered and rubbed my back. I closed my eyes, breathing heavily."You freaking idiot," I screamed to which he laughed. I hit on his chest, understanding he did it intentionally. “Ouch” I chuckled at the way he pretended to be hurt. I look around and then only to find him fuming in anger. He was glaring at a man who was roaming his eyes over my whole body, undressing me with his lecherous eyes. I engulfed myself in his arms, trying to hide my front. Realising my clothes are attached to my body like a second skin after getting wet."Vacant this area with your workers in a minute if you don't want to lose your j
