VERONICA’S POVI was in the main hall, resting my one leg over the other, taking a sip of my drink with my eyes affixed on the man before me.His hazel eyes hold immense resentment for my ex-husband. Leaning back, he pushed his long brown hair behind, resting his one leg over the other dominantly.Sam was standing in the middle of the hall, hands behind him while looking down.“I did as you instructed, Sir. From the engagement to telling Saafia about everything.” Sam breathed out, working under him for a long time.The one who helped me escape Dariel in the first place, faking a relationship with Jacey just to keep a close eye on their cursed family.“Hmm. Good Job.” His deep assertive tone came out. Wearing a black buttoned shirt and waistcoat with two buttons opened, he set his elbow on the armrests, a devilish smirk spreading across his lips.“And me? What about me? You promised me that you will help me divorce Dariel so I could get my life back.” I questioned with a frown, turnin
Failing to bear his presence, I was in the room. Pressing my palm against my chest, no matter what, he was the man I had given my heart.Leaving him was too difficult for me, especially after his confession.‘How would I convince this heart of mine?’ Thinking with agony, I took rapid breaths until I recognized his footsteps outside my room.“Saafia,” His soft resonance called me.Closing my eyes, the creaking sound of the door being closed reached me. I didn’t dare to turn until his tall form was behind me with a keen gaze.“Leave, Dariel, please.” I whispered those words so weakly that they faded before they could reach him.He couldn’t hear and held my shoulders, making me turn to him. Sniffling, I opened my eyes. The time where I was devastated and when my heart blindly devoted itself to him flashed before my eyes.“Dariel,”Calling him desperately, I wanted him to clear this confusion inside me and help me get over this state.Bringing his big hands from my shoulder to my hands, h
DARIEL’S POV:-I went to tell her but I found it extremely hard to do it, like, my words died from within and I had no idea where to start or what to tell her.My own chains restricted me and now when I had words too, I was incapable of releasing me. My fright had stopped me.“Dammit.”Cursing, I was in the hall, pulling my hair in frustration. Making my leg constantly out of disturbance, trying to breath properly but failed. The anxiousness didn’t allow me.“How do I tell you?” My voice broke, trying to gather my fragmented form but it was becoming difficult.And when I was praying for a miracle to happen so it would take me out of this dismay, I heard footsteps. Recognizing them instantly as my beloved, I looked up hastily .“S-Saafia?”Quickly, rising from my seat, my shaky self stared at her mesmerizingly, tilting my head to the side to focus entirely on her.Narrowing her eyes at me, she whispered my name softly, “Dariel.”“Yes-” She slapped me the second I opened my mouth to sp
After Mama left, I was pacing around the sequestered place stressfully. Holding my sides, my sleeves were rolled roughly, opened a few buttons of my shirt with scattered hairs.“Dammit!” Cursing loudly from rage, I punched my car, gritting my teeth from utter dismay and consternation.We were stuck in a horrible situation. I didn’t know what to do, my mind had ceased to function and I was left with no choice but to call my most trusted man.“Ian?”“Yes, Sir?” He yawned, probably sleeping as it was midnight.Taking rapid breaths, I endeavored to regain my sensations and called him desperately, “I need your help. I will send you my location. Come here.”“At this hour? O-Okay.”Panicking at my sudden call and my shaky voice, he got worried too and dashed to my side as soon as possible. Afraid, anxious, when he came, I vaguely told him, pointing at the blood on my car.“What have you done, Boss?!” He gasped in disbelief, inspecting the condition of my car, clearly indicating that it hit
PRESENT“Your curse worked, Saafia.”With retreating steps, tears glistened in my eyes while shaking my head in anguish with a crushing weight on my chest. Saafia had tears in her eyes, realizing how I took the blame to save my family.But my mind was revolving around her words I was unable to fix.“My mother died, my sister left me alone. My wife cheated on me and now I have become the culprit of the woman I love.”Clutching my chest, I displayed my anguish so she could witness how hard it was for me to contain this heartbreak but my life was seriously cursed.“MY HOME WAS RUINED!” Bursting into tears, I yelled my agony. The pain I went through all because my mother destroyed a life and I had to pay for the consequences.Flinching when I raised my voice, she narrowed her eyes in compassion. Covering my eyes with my hands, I fell on my seat, tears recollecting as I sobbed feebly.“Why… Did you remain silent? Why didn’t you tell ‘me’?” She whispered, taking my wrist in her hands and
SAAFIA’S POV:-All the confusion inside me finally vanished, the sting cleared and now I could focus entirely on the man before me, only thinking about our future where nothing but our love would remain.‘What more do we need?’ I thought the next morning when he was sleeping peacefully.My fingers trailed on the side of his face, caressing him lovingly. I was utterly stupefied at his misery, not once I imagined it would affect him ‘that’ much.“I won’t leave you again, my love.” I whispered, trailing my fingers to his pumped shoulders.“Promise?” A smirk crept on his lips, indicating he was awake. Furrowing my brows, I poked his shoulder with my index finger playfully.“Hmm? You were awake?”“Mhm.” He chuckled groggily, nodding before opening his eye-catching silver eyes.“I am just wondering, I didn’t expect you to be that gloomy about my absence.” I exhaled, contemplating the room, not believing how badly it affected him.Seeing that pinched me, I won’t leave him again. Humming, he
JACEY’S POV:-Contemplating everything which had happened till now, the distress inside me flared intensely. Gradually, after seeing Dariel, the realization of them being right… might be right sinking in.Before I could feel guilty about my actions, I went to confront Sam. He was in our room, my heart was pounding, I was afraid to know something I couldn’t bear.But I know, I must talk to him.Entering our room, I saw him talking to his Boss, “Yes, Sir. I understand. I will do that. Okay, Sir.”Frowning, I folded my arms at my chest seriously as he cut the call and turned his attention to me.“Hmm? What?”“I entrusted you with the most important secret of my family only to find out that you told Saafia everything? What the hell are you thinking, Sam!?” Raising my voice, I glared at him, not believing how easily he spread what I made him promise to never tell anyone.“So? What are you going to do about it?”Now I regret sharing our secrets with him.“What is wrong with you, Sam? You w
DARIEL’S POV:-Who knew my life would become this mesmerizing after meeting you?After my meeting, resting my elbow on the table, a never ending smile was lingering on my lips, drowned in the in-depth feeling I hold for my wife.“You sure are smiling.” Ian pointed out, chuckling when he placed the files on the table.“Because I am happy. More than you could imagine.”I chuckled too, failing to keep this glee inside me. I wanted to scream to this world that I had finally greeted my beloved.I Knew that I had found the point I was longing for all my life.“May you always remain like this. You barely had any endearing moments in your life, you deserve all the happiness.” He blessed me sincerely.I smirked, teasing him, “You sure are sounding like a Father.”“I basically watch you grow up. Of course I care for you. You have done so much for your family now you deserve to live the life you always wanted.” He smirked back and no doubt.Amid all my phases of life, he was with me to provide g
