I went upstairs, not caring how awkward it must be for the two. As I was about to enter my room, I saw my reflection in one of the mirrors and grimaced at myself. I look like shit. No kidding, I had panda eyes from all the crying and my hair was fuzzy. I have to give credit to Samuel for not saying anything. I quickly took a shower and joined them. Surprisingly, Samuel and Analia were getting along perfectly. After some time, Samuel decided to go home."Isn't he just beautiful?" Analia muttered dreamily when he left, and I just laughed.She asked me about my night, and I told her everything. We never hid anything from each other back there in high school, so why now? Let's say she didn't take it in a good way. It took me one hour to explain that I was really fine and to make her get rid of the baseball she had in her hands.As I rested on my bed, I couldn't help but think about what Samuel told me. He said he had been through a lot, and I could tell by the way he would switch his mood
As soon as we came out of my car, I helped him to get inside the mansion.He can't even walk properly in his drunken state, so, after a debate with myself,I've decided to drop him off towards his room.It will be the very first time for me to go to my husband's room. We've already loved in separate bedrooms as this marriage is nothing but a contract which was destined to end after 19 months.I just don't know what happened to me, but this thought makes my chest squeeze, making me feel so uncomfortable aroundI was supposed to be very happy that, finally, I would be able to get freedom from him after 19 months, but then also, my heart was so hurting with this thought of leaving him.My feet involuntarily moved with his. He led me into his room and shut the door behind me.If you thought his living room was cool, wait till you see his bedroom. In the middle, there was the biggest size bed I've ever seen in my entire life. Adorned with black and grey sheets and cushions, There were few b
"In the kitchen, downstairs," I said loudly, letting her know where I was.It took her five minutes to find the kitchen, and by that time, I was making coffee for myself. I took a long look at her appearance, and I busied myself so I wouldn't get caught staring at her. Her dress was riled up to her thighs, offering me a view I could enjoy all day. Her hair was open and all messed up, giving her a sexy morning look. How strange is it for her to be in my place looking like she has just been fucked up without us even doing it? The icy blue eyes were staring at me in shock."Morning." I greeted her softly.She gently smiled at me first, and then her smile turned into a scowl, as if she remembered what I did to her, and she glared at me deathly. Her face was set in a frown as she looked around for an exit, I suppose. I knew I quickly had to do something, otherwise she would never forgive me and the guilt would eat me alive."Let me explain... please."Her face was deadpanned but she made n
"Bad enough to live with you even after you scared the hell out of me." She smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes."Do I scare you, Brielle?" I asked her, momentarily stunned. I know I can be intimidating sometimes."A bit."I can't do this. I can't take advantage of her weakness.Do you want the money and investment? You don't have to work for me. I can help you. " I offered herShe looked surprised for a minute but then resumed eating the ice cream."Thank you but no thank you." I'd rather pay back myself. I don't need any more favors. "Jesus, she is so stubborn."I mean it, Emberly." You don't have to pay me back immediately. Take your time. " I tried once more."Am I that bad? I will try my best. " Her voice was so low, almost a whisper.I sighed deeply, feeling pity for her.Pride and stubbornness are her dangerous qualities."So how are we going to make this work?"What was it about her that compelled me to learn more about her?"I don't know. You are perfectly fine when y
Brielle POVI still remember, when I was small, I always thought that tone day I will meet my soulmate who will love me and only me like every normal girl dreams After Zuriel comes into my life, I've started feeling the emotions, I've been even though, I would never feel after sloping my parents I started feeling, jealousy, love, care, worry, for him which I'd even never thought will be felt again But here there is a twist in the taleZuriel didn't love me/he loves someone else My eyes felt so blurry as I was walking on an empty deserted road, my chest felt so heavy, even my limbs felt so light like they didn't belong to me, my eyes felt sore, and when I tried to will my tears away, I winced when a sharp pain occurs in my head Suddenly, the rain started falling over, making me trembling I hugged myself and sat on the side of the road below the large tree I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged myself more Zuriel was in love with someone else, I don't even know that did he
Ah, hell.Why did she have to be so damn gorgeous? She snuck a glance at me."Why?" I asked curiously."What do you mean, why?" She scrunched her nose. "This should be the other way around. You are caring, sweet, and charming, even though you can get on my nerves sometimes. And sometimes you annoy me so much that I think I hate you and you pull my...I never let her complete the sentence. I raised my upper body, bent my head and took her mouth with mine. The scent of chocolate and coconut swarmed my senses. Her lips fit perfectly with mine, supple and soft. I braced myself for her protest, but she gave a little moan, sinking her fingers into my hair.In some dim corner of my mind, I knew what I was doing was way wrong. I was leading her on without any promises. But I knew if I didn't kiss her, she'd be the death of me. The taste of chocolate lingered on her tongue, along with a honeyed sweetness. My head spun as I became drunk on her, diving in and out of that silky mouth for more. Be
And I hated that! I hated that even after all this time she still remained in my mind, in my memories. Brielle blinked and shook her head. I wondered what she was thinking about. Maybe how fucked up I am!"Walter Anderson once said bad things do happen to everyone; bad accidents, bad relationships... but how we respond to them defines our character and the quality of our life. I know it hurts like hell but you can choose to sit in perpetual sadness... immobilized by the gravity of your loss, or you can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift you have - life itself. You are an... amazing guy and any girl would be lucky to have you but you are being extremely unfair to yourself... ""He said 'Zuriel Richardson' is an amazing guy"?" I teased and she rolled her eyes"No, I said that but he did say "pain is a part of life, it is what makes us human, it shapes us and helps us just as laughter and love do, you don't have to forget her, but you cannot let it destroy y
6:35 amThe bright numbers on the clock nearly made me pull my hair out. Talk about being a non-violent person! I couldn't believe I had spent an entire night thinking about his past! My mind was telling me not to judge her so quickly since I only knew one side of the story. It took two to tango, so maybe it wasn't entirely her fault? This was something that I couldn't agree on. I stared at the ceiling till I could see the rays of sunshine through the blinds.Great! Its morning already!I quietly climbed out of the bed deciding to have a long bath to soothe my tense muscles. After slipping into a sundress, it was a warm day. I decided to call Analia using one of the apps I had on my phone. Good thing this mansion has free Wi-Fi!"Hey." She picked up on the first bell."Hey, how are you?" I asked her."Not bad at all, still clinging on your brother, " she chuckled and I laughed No matter how hurt she was, she never let it show it on mood, she always managed to eht I've rit, I wish I
