Not before he moved forward, I closed my eyes, my senses weren't working anymore. "Better than he can ella! "
Our moment was broken by the tune of his cell phone. We were gazing into each other’s eyes; he was ignoring whoever is calling him. Should I just tell him to take his call? I need to be released from this position. It’s kind of getting awkward.
‘’Receive it!” I WHISPER.
Leaving me completely, he steps back. I could feel the loss of his body warmth. Internally scolding myself for thinking this way.
I saw his expressions changing rapidly from shock to worry to anger and enraged. He started shouting and literally threw his phone on the ground, that it shattered into several pieces. I gasp as I saw his red streaked eyes. He`s not looking any less than a deranged bull.
“What happened…………. Mr. Maxwell…...?” still I ask, I don’t know even why!
“JUST SHUT THE F*CK UP” he roared at me. My breath got caught in my throat. He looks the same maniac mentally retarded man who had punished me so brutally in the woods.
I didn’t even notice when I crunched a wood stick. Just then I realised I had started taking steps back. And then……….. I did the only thing I’m good at these days.
I RAN!
I ran as fast as I could! I don’t know why I turn like a scared kitten with him.
That’s because I might be scared of his anger. Or maybe because of his past deeds! Either way I don’t want to be anywhere near him!
I have decided what I’m going to do next. This will be the best for us.
…
“HOW DARE THEY ATTACK OUR BASE? WHOS THE RAT AMONG US? YOU NEED TO FIND OUT HENRY! OR IM GOING TO HAVE YOUR HEAD IN BREAKFAST!”
“Sir, …………. there’s one more…………. problem.” Dads second in command hesitantly states. When I’m barely controlling myself from shooting their asses down.
“DO I NEED TO SHOOT YOUR BALLS TO SPILL THE BEANS NOW HENRY!”
“………. UHHHHH sir….”
“BARK YOU DUMBWITT!” that’s it. They are surely testing my patience today.
“Sir I…. tried to connect to Master but they are not reachable!”
“What do you mean They?”
“Your mom as well”
“F*CK--------”

I run……I run so fast without turning back. I don’t care if he`s chasing behind me. I just needed to be out of here as soon as possible. Surprisingly he wasn’t coming behind! He was just standing there with his hands resting inside his pockets. He`s gaze held promise.
PROMISE OF MADNESS. THE PROMISE TO DESTROY US ALL.
F*ck the dates. I’m never coming in front of him ever again!
…
“DAD……………. DAD……………. DAD?”
“MR. MORITZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!”
“What happened? Why are you shouting? Have you seen some ghost? Why are you so pale?” Mom bombards me with unnecessary questions. I don’t have time for this.
“DAAAAAAAAAAD”
“STOP SHOUTING ELLA!”
This lady. Urgggggh~
Finally, dad decides to grace us with his presence. I turn to him. Before he could ask anything. I tell them my decision.
“I want to marry!”
“WHAT??????????” now its their turn to scream my ears down!
Dads’ eyes turn stone hard. With clenched jaw, he took predatory steps in my direction. “Oo………. ohh……..I think I took the wrong decision by seeing their face.”
We stood face to face, mom behind me. I can’t look into his eyes anymore. His aura screams danger. For the first time his intimidating me!
“Didn’t I told you to stay away from him?”
………..
“DID I NOT ELLA?”
……Ahhhhhhhhh yes dad.
“Then why the f*ck did you go with him!” it wasn’t a question. He knows everything. But how? I didn’t even tell them anything yet.
“I think you are forgetting something little miss; I was the American mafia leader before that kid.” I was blank. How can I forget I’m dealing with mafia men? Urghhhhhhhhhh my life!
“I asked you something! Why the f*ck did you go with him. When I clearly told you not to?”
I shift on my legs. Not finding any convincing excuse. “Mom, a Lil help would do------” I whisper so softly. I doubt even my own ears have captured it.
But before she could come to my rescue. Dad thunders “Charlotte go to bed. This is between father and daughter. I’d prefer if you don’t interfere right now.”
“Love please calm down. You are scaring her. She must have her reasons. Right Ella--.” I barely nod my head. dad shouted on both of us. “BED CHARLOTTE BED. WEAR THE OUTFIT I BOUGHT FOR YOU. ESPECIALLY THE NECK ONE. GO, IM COMING!”
……….. BEFORE she opens her mouth to retaliate. “NOW!”
“Sorry love. Just tell him the truth. You’ll be fine.” With that she left. She literally left me with my dead ass angry father.
“Now start before I lose my temper again!”
Here we go with all the drama.
…
ELLA~ Oh my God! “What the hell, Janice?” I jerked awake as a bucket of ice-cold water hit my face with such force that it almost drowned me in my sleep. I struggled to breathe, gasping like a fish out of water. This freaking little brat just threw a whole damn bucket of ice-cold water on me. She is my younger sister Janice, a 17-year-old teen who goes to Columbia University. I love her a lot but when it comes to waking up early in the morning, I’m no less than an angry wolf on bloodlust. “What? Don’t yell at me. I was trying to wake you up for the last 30 minutes.” Janice snapped back. I glared at her with all the intensity I could muster as she rolled her eyes at me. Internally, I was thinking of ways to torture her. Getting irritated as I couldn’t come up with a single way to avenge my peaceful sleep, I asked “Why did you wake me up?” She simply smiled and sprawled beside me, cooing “Just look at the time.” My brows furrowed in confusion, wondering what she meant by that. I tu
I sprinted into the main building. I was already late. I saw a beautiful girl who looked about my age or maybe a year or two older standing near the reception desk. I approached her nervously and said “Uh hi, I’m Ella Summers. I’m here for document submission.” The girl looked at me and smiled warmly. She extended her hand and said “Hello, Miss Summers, I’m Jessica Voltin. You are assigned to me for the document verification. Please come with me.” I nodded at her and followed her wherever she was leading us. As we passed by the rooms, I looked at the surroundings. It was pretty nice in here, which I hadn’t noticed when I was coming in. Our journey came to a halt when Jessica entered a room that looked like a conference room. She sat on one of the chairs and I took a seat beside her. She took my documents and studied them for some time. Then she looked up at me and I felt nervous. I gave her a nervous smile and she said “Well, Miss Summers, I must say you are pretty interesting and
By the time I reached home, I was completely exhausted both mentally and physically. Feeling tired and hungry, I was about to cry. “God, what did I do wrong?” I couldn’t control my hunger. As soon as I entered my house, I was greeted by the delicious mouthwatering smell of my mom’s homemade food. God, I loved my mom. I ran into the kitchen and saw her cooking. As soon as she saw me, she smiled and said “I know you must be hungry. You left without eating your breakfast so I made something for you. Come on, let’s eat together.” Honestly, she didn’t even have to say those words because when I saw chicken, salad, rice and chocolate pancakes, I jumped on the dining table and started eating like a lunatic. I couldn’t help it. I was really hungry and mom’s delicious food was just the cherry on top. I heard mom laughing. I looked up at her and saw her smiling widely at me while laughing a bit too. Whoops! “Mom, you can’t laugh at me like that. I haven’t eaten anything since morning. You
6 MONTHS WENT BY JUST LIKE THAT~ Life is all set. Everything is happening according to how I wished and planned things to be. Perfect career, a very happy family, slightly annoying but lovely sister, friends, money, respect, everything. I have everything except one thing…my so-called love life. But that’s fine. I’m more than happy with my life right now. After that night, I joined the embassy and started working as a translator. Currently, I’m in my training and development period. After three more months, I’ll be ready to fly to the moon like a rocket. Someone smacked my head, which made me jerk forward and killed my thought process. Rubbing my head, I whined “What the hell, Roman?” I didn’t even have to look up to know who did the honor, because I knew there was only one person who could do something like this to me. “No hi, no hello, is this the way you greet your best friend?” He said, putting his hand on his heart and showing a hurt sign. That earned him an eye roll from me
"WOW" He is looking so handsome, all dressed up in a tailored suit. I admit our job pays us well. My chain of thoughts cut by his voice "you know, if we don't have a ball to attend I'd love to continue our staring session further more"he stated while smirking at me with amusement in his voice. I must say, he is looking so fascinating, but I won't admit it on his face just to add up his male ego"ha-ha very funny"I replied back with sass. "You are looking beautiful, "he complimented me "thank you, you don't look bad either" he chuckles at this. Roman is handsome, good looking, caring on top of that my best friend. I admit I like him, like really like like him, but I never told him regarding my feelings towards him. I am just scared about our friendship. I don't want to lose him, so
Finally, we reached our destination.I am currently standing at the entrance. Just checking out everything here in awe and admiration. It's so mesmerizing, oh goodness. I would have definitely regretted if Roman hadn't threatened to attend the gala. Plus cherry on the cake Roman is your date my inner voice mocks me. Well, I must agree with her on this. Feeling giddy giddy in my stomach on this whole situation, bringing a full blown smile make its way to my face. "Earth to Ella" My eyes went wide in horror he must be thinking I literally forgot he's standing right next to me! Giving him my nervous sheepish smile. I didn't say anything,,just shakes my head left to right slightly. He broke the silence "sunshine would you like to go inside, if you are done with checking things from the outside. " I feel the heat rush through my veins at the embarrassment and
As I made my way to the exit, eager to leave and find some solace, a hand suddenly landed on my shoulder. I turned around to see Jessica, wearing a concerned expression on her face. Oh, girl, I seriously needed a break."Where are you going, Ella? Are you okay? You look pale!" she bombarded me with questions. I tried to reassure her, saying I was just tired and planned to head home, assuring her that nothing serious had happened.Jessica was quite possessive as a close friend, and she wasn't about to let me go so easily. "No way, silly. If you're tired, you're not going anywhere just yet. Let's meet Mr. Maxwell's son, Aaron. You can go home afterward."Reluctantly, I agreed, feeling exhausted. Jessica led me through the crowd, and eventually, we came to a stop. There stood a man with broad shoulders, towering at least 6'3" in height, while I stood at just 5'4". I couldn't see his face as his back was turned towards us, but he wore a royal blue suit. Jessica called out to him, and he tu
I woke up to find that nobody was at home. My mom had left with an aunt for reasons unknown, and Janice had stayed over at her friend's house the previous night, which I had just found out in the morning. I got ready for work, feeling tired even before the day had begun. Today was shaping up to be a long and exhausting day. ... A few hours later... Roman didn't show up at work today, probably due to a hangover, and thankfully, Janice didn't mention anything about yesterday. Other colleagues were giving me curious glances here and there, but otherwise, things seemed relatively normal. I set down my pen as I heard the ting sound of an old, rusted wall clock on the wall in front of me. I glanced at it and realized that it was already past 9 o'clock. I had stayed late, thanks to Jessica piling on extra paperwork for me. Taking a deep breath, I felt a sense of relief knowing that I had finally completed all the files that had been sitting on my desk. Now, I was the only one left in the
