....She was like a rose, graceful yet filled with thorns... Evelyn POV:- "Loving Adrian but marrying Lawrence. What a player you are!" My body froze in fear as shallow breaths were escaped by my lips. The dread which rises in me by hearing this is beyond my comprehension. I opened my mouth to say something but my quivering lips can even produce a single sound. Tears brimmed in my eyes as the terror consumed my body. My quivering lips muster some courage and spoke in a faint tone, "What are you talking about?" "Fine. I'll send those screenshots you send to Adrian, to Lawrence." My phone rang again. I looked and saw those texts I sent Adrian years ago. My body lost its strength and the feeling of being powerless took over me. I put the phone near my ear and spoke again, "What do you want?" My voice lingers with agony and loath for the voice which wants to destroy my life. "I'll call you back." The voice said as he cut the call. I closed my eyes and held my tears bac
...I pledged myself to you, only to find out that you are not the one I strive for. That, you are not the one I loved...Evelyn POV:-Becoming tensed and afraid by each passing second, I continued to live my life as if I am perfectly fine. Being tormented by this affliction, I am smiling radiantly. I just want this to end. This is causing me to crumble.Who is this and why is he or she doing it? Can’t I live happily? "Evelyn?" I snapped from my thoughts and looked at Lawrence who called my name worriedly."Yes?" I spoke in my usual sweet tone.“Where are you lost? Did you hear what I said?” He asked softly, holding my hand, rubbing circles over it.“I am sorry, I was.. Lost in thoughts. What were you saying?” I asked innocently, hoping he might not be angry due to my lack of attention."What happened? You are so lost nowadays." He said, concerned about me."It's nothing." I smiled and put my head over his shoulder. He took my other hand too in his, giving it a tight reassuring squeez
… You are made only for me, nothing in this world could alter this fact…Lawrence POV:-I am so happy. Happiness is not enough to explain how I am feeling. There's nothing else I want in this world. Evelyn is my hope, my everything. I feel like I am blessed with the most beautiful wife. I love every little gesture of hers. Her appealing gray eyes. Her raven locks that fall on her face make me fall for her more. The feelings of fondness increases by each passing second. I sometimes thought that this is a dream because having everything you desire happens in dreams. I smiled widely and looked at the enchanting features of my wife. Today, I woke up before her. I run my fingers against her soft cheeks and twirl my fingers around her locks. A never-ending feeling of satisfaction filled me up.Unlike her, I don't ruin moments like these. I continued to stare at her aesthetic features with a smile.Her eyes slowly opened as I smiled,"Morning, Love," I said and was about to kiss her but s
....And I sit under a tree thinking, have you ever wondered about me the way I wonder about you. Thinking that no one but you interrupt me from that thought and take me to reality. But in the end that never happened..... Evelyn POV:- I continued to sob at the raging fire created by my delusion that if I have to keep the harsh truth away from him, everything will be fine. If I told him before, then this would never happen. "Lawrence, please... trust me.." I said between the sobs but nothing is affecting him as he is lost in his emerald fury. “I don’t want to hear anything, Evelyn.” I continued to plead, in the end, being vexed by me he stopped the car in a corner and gave me an infuriated look which caused me to be stiff in dread. “Please…” Being tremendously terrified, I began to pant. "Speak anything else and my actions will speak louder than your words." He said so menacingly that it made my very soul shudder in fear. I never fathomed his rage would be this terrifying. I ga
… I will steal you from this world, if I must… Lawrence POV:- Being unimaginably infuriated and utterly senseless I grit my teeth in anger and rest my head on the steering wheel. If it could anyone, I wouldn’t complain even once but my own brother. And moreover Adrian knew she… loved him. That explains why he was stunned when he got married. Why did it have to be Adrian? I felt so heartbroken, I love her so much. Being overwhelmingly stressed, I don't have enough courage to go home. If I knew before, I would never marry Evelyn. I didn’t want to destroy her life over me. Just imagine if she never fell for me? What if her love for Adrian remained the same and she would only be hurt to herself be married to me? I took a deep breath and called father, "Father, take mother out for dinner tonight, it would be good for you guys." I said. "Why? Why so suddenly? I mean, I don’t mind but why out of the blue?" He asked, laughing a little. "Just... I just thought that it would be good.."
Adrian POV:-Shit, shit, shit. How could this happen? Who told him? After Brother left, I sighed in relief to find no visible bruise on my body. His rage was terrifying me, I don’t know what he did to Evelyn but his possessiveness towards what belongs to him was scary. But, at least I got saved. I expected him to at least break a bone of mine but thankfully he controlled himself. How did he come to know about it? If he found out that I even liked her back, he'd kill me. I knew telling him about my feelings would be the most dangerous choice.Maybe that's why he sent Evelyn to her home so that she won't see his anger, he knew it would horrify her.I know he is not gonna calm down that easily especially when it comes to his love life. He wouldn’t bear it.“Fuck…” Cursing under my breath, I moved back, curling my hands in a fist.I turned my head and saw Danielle standing there extremely terrified. The truck of realization hit me that Danielle knows everything. She knew everything,
....The eyes which are void of any emotions are the one which used to glimmer so passionately that it can make twilight bend to its knees before her...Lawrence POV:-The next day, at night, we were having dinner in silence but then mother complained, "You should have told us that you are taking Evelyn to her parent's home." "Sorry, Mother, She was just so sad so I sent her." I said and she nodded. Adrian didn't dare to look at me as Danielle said, "You must be missing her." I smiled and nodded. After dinner, I went to Adrian's room and glared at him. He looked down as I walked towards him."You are not going to tell anyone about what happened." I said sternly. "Yes, Brother," He said. I nodded and took a seat."Brother," He called me. I looked at him and motioned him to continue."Maybe you should talk to her, What she feels and wants." He suggested. "I will. But, not now." I said and stood up and turned to leave."Evelyn is my wife and she is mine. I will never tolerate anyone
...Let me cry and swell my eyes; in thy embrace, to drench thou in the flood of tears... Lawrence POV:- The sea of uncertainties in my chest, I want to release it and gain the feeling of divine solace once again. I want to feel her warmth again. My breath resides in her heart. My life is in chaos now that my breath is away from me. I want redemption from all this tribulation and desiring that reclamation of trust, I have decided to release both of us from unclear thoughts which can leave a deep mark of grief on our marriage. All the talks of heart which misleads me to the pits of sorrow, I have decided to leave that behind and listen to her. Craving the feeling of the deep pleasure of her touch and presence. I went to see her, to fill my hollow being with her aesthetic features and with the intentions of ending this suffering of us. I went to her home and took a deep breath and went inside. I arrived early in the morning because I had enough. I entered and saw Uncle, Aunt an
