"Okay! There you go, man! Thanks." Says the man while handing the baby iguana to Devin after taking a hundred dollars from him. And I still stand there in my place rooted, watching him as he takes the iguana from him. What is his reason to do all this? Is he also into the black market where they buy and sell such exotic breeds illegally? Oh, God! Just then, his eyes fall on me. He passes me a bright smile before waving his free hand and making his way towards where I am sitting, well, standing since I am still shocked from what I have witnessed just now. "Hey, butternut! How do you do?" He asks cheerfully as if he has just not bought an exotic reptile in black. He soon notices my stiff posture and frowns at me. "Dhanishta? Is everything alright?" "No, you tell me! Is everything alright to you?" He squints his eyes at me. "What are you saying? Is there a problem?" He seems genuinely confused. Shaking my head slightly, I jut my chin towards the baby iguana and he follows my gaze. "Wh
'Hey, Devin!' 'Just wanted to inform you that I won't be able to make it to this race. I am sorry.' This is what I text Devin, hoping that he would understand. Tonight, my papa would be at home since he does not have any job on him at current. So, it would be best if I only stayed home. Last time, I almost got caught when I was out for some race and my papa texted me that he will be coming back in an hour and was asking me if I am up for a trip to the ice cream parlour. And thankful enough, I saw it just in time and rushed back home, which means that I have had to abandone the race. Devin was angry with me for that. But did I have a choice there? No! It has been a month since I am seeing Devin, and our relationship, or whatever it is, is getting...uh...better? I don't know, really. Because Devin only contacts me when there is some match or something and other than that when we would go on a date where he would try to kiss me. But I don't know why, I don't feel compelled while doing a
"Really?" He lets out a throaty whisper. "Uh hnn! Yes, Devin! If you want me to, that is." I say in the same seductive tone. And I can see that he is now completely off guard, because of lust. Smirking, I inch my hand to cup his neck from the behind. But he grabs it and moves it away from his nape. "You know what, I was waiting for this moment for two years now. For you to mentally break and becoming the person that I want you to become. You submitting to me completely, and complying to my commands. And me, doing sinful things to your body. You were not like this at all two years back! But I wanted you to be so that I can take you just as I wish. I guess, you are all ready for the things that I am going to do to you now, aren't you?" My eyes widen and I let out a shriek instinctively when he stands hoisting me up over his shoulder. What the hell? Oh, no! I need to think of something fast. He throws me on the bed after reaching inside a room and hovers over me. "Now tell me, buttern
Darin's POV Chaos! This is the only thing that I am feeling right now as I am in my car now, driving at a speed like crazy. It is not because of the fact that I am not prepared for the football match that I have tomorrow. And it is definitely not for the fact that I have my internals in just a few days. It is because of a certain someone missing in my life right now and I am afraid if I will ever be able to see her again.. That certain someone whom I have grown to love, to adore, and every single day that I pass without her, I curse myself for saying those dreadful words to her. Someone has said it right that 'karma is a bitch!' And I guess, I am getting hit back by my karma. Speeding my car through the almost almost empty road, I take a sharp turn to reach the alley that leads to the Rossi mansion. In the morning, I so happened to come across this news on the television which stated that 'Devin Kings' is found mysteriously dead and there is no way one could tell who did it. At that
Darin's POV "Sir, uh, I can drive if you wish to." I offer Mr. Baidwani again but it is like he is not even listening. We are now on our way to this hospital somewhere on the outskirts of the city. On our way there to get Dhanishta back! I can't help but feel excited and anxious at the same time. She would be able to forgive me for what all I had said to her, right? I really do hope that she does! "Let that boy drive, Dhiraj! Or let me do it at least! You need to calm your nerves, you know." Offers Mr. Rossi but again, Mr. Baidwani does not respond. He has decided to tag along with us to that hospital. Mrs. Rossi also wanted to come with us, but Arabella somehow convinced her not to. Anyways, I am just glad that Mr. Baidwani asked me to come because if not then I would have to have followed their car all the way there. The call which he had received earlier was from that hospital to inform us about Dhanishta being admitted there, and they told us to get there as soon as possible, bu
Darin's POV *Creak* The door of this room opens with a slight creak and I clench my eyes because of the unwanted noise that fills the hallway of the mansion. Damn this door! I don't need anyone getting up due to the noise in the middle of the night. And to think that the room just next to me belongs to Mr. Baidwani. I shudder visibly just at the thought of him getting out of his room and standing infront of me, wide awake with his chiselled jaw clenched and ripped muscled arms crossed against his built up chest. The fact that he has allowed me to stay over the night in this mansion is enough already. Quietly moving out of the room where I am staying, I tiptoe towards the staircase and climb up as sneakily as possible. Once I reach on the first floor, I open the door to her room. There she is, lying on her bed sleeping peacefully. Just the way she was when we first saw her on that hospital bed. Only that now no frown etches on her face. Her beautiful face is serene which keeps my ch
The moment he enters the room, his eyes fall on me. I can tell because I can feel the heat of his gaze on me. And my eyes beg me to look up into his emerald green orbs with all the love I have for him. But I know, that is not something that I can do. Not anymore. So, I put on a facade on my eyes before lifting my face and meeting his eyes. My heart, that damn involuntary organ, starts beating erratically as my eyes meet his. I think that they hold surprise and relief? But that can't be! I must be delusional. There he stands, in his regular printed white t-shirt, blue jeans and a blue denim blazer. Looks like he has just come here straight from his college. But why? As I look at him into his eyes without any emotions, other than confusion, his gaze starts shifting. Then he looks in the direction of Mrs. Rossi before walking up to her. Why? Oh, how could I forget that Arabella is standing next to her? I can't help my clenching heart due to the burning sensation in it. Why, Darin? Well,
Darin's POV "Papa, I was asking, when will be going back home?" My heart drops when she questions her father about that. Why is she eager to go back to her home? Is she not happy here? I get it that she has just gotten into a terrible accident and has come to lose her memories of the time she stayed here, but will it be too much to ask for her not to leave? Umm...I think so. Maybe it will be for the best if she goes back to her home because it can help her regain her memories soon. But the thing is..well, I don't want her to leave. I don't want her to go away from me! Okay, I sound selfish. Agreed. But damn! I love her! And I want to be a little selfish when it comes to her. "Uh, we will leave right after your doctor confirms that you are alright to be travelling, and when you want to after it ofcourse." Replies Mr. Baidwani shrugging his shoulders. She seems thoughtful before nodding her head in understanding. "Then I think we should ask the doctor today only." What? No! Please, D
