Collide Chapter Eleven
She started to feel the numbness as she stepped down on the familiar territory. Her father's manor. Her heart began to pound in her chest. She wanted to blindfold her eyes again. She was frightened. Anything could happen. She was relieved to be home. But also terrified for an unknown reason. Orlando's body looked stiffened and Roberto's gaze was intense as they were walking toward them. Expressions were missing from their faces. She squinted through the corners of her eyes. She wasn't expecting Xander to walk alone with her, "You're a fool. You should drop me at the door." She muttered, lowering her head. Abruptly, she was worried for him. She wanted to rush forward but his grip on her arm stopped her. "Look up," He said, in an expressionless way. Hesitantly, she looked up. Her brows furrowed when she saw drones hovering over them. "These are not just cameras. Drones are capable of shooting." He said. Orlando and Roberto n
Collide Chapter Twelve
His icy blue gaze was a full blast of cold as he stared at her brothers, following her into the house. He wasn't worried about his safety. They weren't friends but he needed only one second to have a new enemy. Roberto tapped his hand over his shoulder. "Xander," He motioned with his head to follow him. His guards followed him but he raised his hand to stop them. "He's my son-in-law, now." He felt proud in his tone. He smirked but He held himself to take out his gun at his motion to follow him. His expression was stern as he went after him. They ambled through the hallway. The old man shoved the door open. His gaze skimmed around his office which was looking more like a library. "Shelbina loves to read fantasy books." Roberto smiled. He wasn't expecting love for her from Reyes' family as she was an adopted kid, "She's adopted." He couldn't help but say it to him. "She is. My wife didn't give birth to her. But she's o

She felt a soft touch on her shoulder. Turning her, he glanced at her with a scowl. Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked into his green eyes. "Are you upset about his going?" He pulled her in an embrace and patted the back of her head. She couldn't answer him. She knew the reason behind his words. Her brothers knew that she hated to be touched. She parted her lips and felt her throat clogged. "I don't want you to fall in love with a person like him." Alberto muttered again. She saw Orlando looking down at her. She understood, he knew the reason behind her tears. She was thankful it was Alberto. She couldn't handle her elder brother's wrath. "She needs to rest," Orlando said. Alberto nodded and turned his worried gaze away from her. She didn't wait and rushed toward the door. It felt like the easiest way to escape from their questions. She couldn't sleep. She pushed herself out
Collide Chapter Fourteen
She blinked her eyes as Orlando stood in front of her, his hands sliding in his pockets. It was becoming his habit. The dance floor was full like before. She furrowed. "Did you cancel the meeting?" She asked. He raised his eyebrows. "It has been two hours." He looked at her with concern but schooled his expression immediately. "Oh! I was so occupied looking at the dancing people. I didn't look at the time." She smiled. It wasn't a full lie, but not a full truth either. He glanced at her for a second. "Do you wanna go with Xander?'' Orlando asked, " No." She jumped down the stool, ''But I'll be fine." Sauntering forward, she kissed the cheek of her brother, "Good night." Her body tense when she felt him walking toward her. "You can come with me." She knew Orlando meant it. His hands balled into fists. She shook her head. She didn't want an unnecessary fight. "He won't hurt me." She said, her voice was assuring. He curtly nodd
Collide Chapter Fifteen
There was no longer a perplexity in her mind when she woke up in the morning. Someone had tapped on the door many times. Pushing herself up, she sauntered toward the washroom. Her eyes were still half opened. There was only one thing in her mind that she wanted to stay away from Xander. Though, it was against her feelings. She didn't wanna look vulnerable as she was aware of what kind of world she would face after leaving the premises of her father. She took a long time to shower. She was dolled up in a pink mini dress, the end of her hair was curled, makeup, and pink lips. She put on her high heels and turned to leave her room. She didn't want anyone to doubt that she wasn't happy with the forced wedding. When she opened the door, Sara was coming at her, Avni was walking behind her holding the tray. Sara was wearing a long saffron gown and her front hair was braided and the curl was laying on the shoulders. She was looking pretty, with her smal
Collide Chapter Sixteen
She kept pounding her fists in the punching bag, her knuckles were bruised, and she was using her pain as fuel to build herself strong. She kneed the bag, and a row of punches was thrown on it. Her anger could be seen from her deep frown that formed lines over her forehead. "Shelbina," Janette's infuriated voice reverberated in the gym. Her footfalls were louder than normal. She didn't stop jabbing her fists and kneeing the bag. Sweat was dripping down her forehead, neck, and back, almost she was bathed in her sweat. "Ell!" Sara's voice was soft. It couldn't stop her, couldn't pacify her rage. She felt a hand covering her shoulder. She squeezed her eyes shut. She began to breathe in and out, "Mom, Father wants you to cook today," She forced her voice to be calm, pushing the anger away. "You're going to wed," Janette scolded her as she pulled on her shoulder to face her. She lowered her gaze which was a pool of burning enrage and i
Collide Chapter Seventeen
Dread settled in the pit of her stomach. Orlando would never go against Roberto's desire. She did not want to involve Sara and Alberto in her plan. She was well aware of the security system in her father's mansion. Orlando was taking care of all the arrangements. It was going to be very difficult for her to penetrate the circle of security created by her elder brother. She was wandering in the house, trying to understand her brother's plan. It was her last day in her house. She had to make a plan if she wanted to ignore the wedding and escape from him. "The container is full of slaves. We have proof Arturo has ordered them." She heard Sergio, her eldest brother Orlando's right hand. "I'll kill that bastard," She heard the seething voice of her brother. "Then, it's sorted. This is your responsibility." Roberto said. She took several steps back and pretended to walk ahead at the office again. The door opened. Roberto and Orla
Collide Chapter Eighteen
She spent the night sitting up, contemplating her plan. It felt safe running after the wedding. Her coherent thoughts never left her. She didn't carry anything with her. Her gaze didn't move from the horizon waiting for the sun to rise. She could feel the coming danger, in the gnawing pit, in her chest in the emptiness in her heart. She was determined not to shed a tear. But the thought of staying away from her family and under the fear that he would catch her at any time and would haul her back into his hell. He didn't try to talk, try anything to frighten her, the dangerous aura around him always kept her alert and sent a warning to go far away from him. Tears had hovered many times in her eyes, the burning sensation did not leave her. She blinked, feeling the need to cry, she dug the heels of her hands in her eyes and tried to ignore the tears burning at the backs of her eyelids. A soft rap broke the chain of her thoughts. Her head turned to the door.
