The digital alarm clock made me to flutter my eyelashes as I whined a little for my sleep to get disturbed. The duvet was still covering my eyes as I laid on my stomach but my eyes shot opened when I heard his masculine voice. "I think you don't want to go to college." He was smirking as I abruptly got up to see him putting his wrist watch. He heard me whining! I totally forgot that I had to go to college. I set the alarm clock five times as I didn't want to be late. I turned to switch it off as it was 7:30. I wasn't late. A relief showered over my body. I glanced up at him who was glancing down at me with glint in his eyes. Was I missing something? I felt like he was smiling looking at me.
The day passed in blur as I got a lot of work to be done on the very first day. "You want a ride?" Ben asked as he was wearing his helmet and gloves. He had a bike as Sasha was going towards her car. They both were staring at me for an answer. "No my..." I couldn't say husband. "... driver would pick me up." I said and both shook their head. Meanwhile a black car came to park beside me. Gareth was here. "Hey my angel." He got down from the car removing his sun glasses. I was glad he left the guards at the main door. I didn't want attention. "How did it go?" He asked taking my hand in his to place a kiss on it as I wanted to gleam at him and tell him everything about my first day but a clea
"Do you love me?" I asked him as my lower lip puckered out a little. It was childish but I couldn't help it. His thumbs were stroking my cheeks as the silence of the night was still hanging in there. I wanted to ask him that if he loved me he shouldn’t let me follow the diet chart anymore but it came out something else. The question made him stiff as I got to know that was serious. Emotional things were far more serious for him. He was looking stunned by my question as he wasn't expecting that or the question was too hard for him to answer. He never said he loved me or he liked me. I wanted my answers. He was a difficult man. His ropes were toxic. He had to leave behind all the darkness if he wanted to move forward with me.
Ava's POV: It's been a week since I had talked to him. He sat on the dining table for a mere second and then left without saying anything. Same happened with the dinner. He wasn't giving me time to talk to him neither I was trying to talk to him. Sophia was examining everything as it was evident that something was off between us but she wasn't asking anything. I glanced up at the professor talking about anatomy. A skeleton was placed in front of us with a femur bone in our hands. This glass was draining or I was tired of thinking about Gareth. "Is he still trying to be friends with you?" Sasha asked as I shook my head. She was t
"What are you doing here?" I gulped standing up as I turned around to find uncle Jonathan looking at me with hatred like always. He didn’t like my father as after his demise the hatred tuned towards me. Patriarchy! There were only two feelings in his eyes whenever he used to look at me. Hatred and anger! "I-I just c-came...to...meet..." I stammered badly as all the fear came back. "You drowned our name in the neighbourhood by running away and now you are here with this unfortunate face of yours you little piece of..." He was about to say something bad as he lunged at me to grab my elbow in harsh manner."...if you think I will give you space in my home after all you have done then forget about that." He was jerk
GARETH BLADE'S POV: Light brown eyes! Those eyes were stilled in my mind since I had seen them. So much had change since then—around me and in me. At first they entered my life I was enraged then I wanted those eyes to just look at me, I became addicted to them and then "Do you love me?" This question put my mind in chaos. I didn't want to admit that but I knew what was happening inside me. It's been a week since I had talked to her as I was quenching my thirst of my eyes in night. I used to come late directly at the time of dinner so I coul
GARETH BLADE'S POV: I reached mansion before time as it wasn't time for dinner. I saw Sophia in the garden as she was alone indicating, she hadn't come yet. A frown captured my face as I called Knowles exiting the lift. "Where are you?" I asked Knowles as he assured me that everything was fine and Ava was inside the house with her aunt. Her uncle wasn't home and that was good sign as I sat on the couch sighing but there was a smile on my face. I was constantly smiling since I had decided about myself. Even the members in the meeting were giving me weird looks seeing me working fast and concluding the meeting as soon as possible. I tried my best to purse my lips in a thin line to stop me from smiling like a maniac.
Everything was packed as she was checking one last time before letting the guards to take the suitcases away. She didn't see Gareth after he stormed out of the room like he had something urgent to do. She also had so much work to do that she was glad he gave her time to complete her assignments before going on a trip. Now she could go without any burden. The smile wasn't leaving her face as his words from last night kept ringing in her mind. He admitted he loved her as she wanted to give him a hard time but she gave in. She promised to give him a chance. Little did she know about him having a hard time last night after her act. "M
