As Aiden's grip vanishes on my hair, my knees feel weak, witnessing my long hair scattered on the floor. Tears roll down from my eyes as I fall down on the floor. “Now you are looking pretty…darling,” Aiden says, making my blood boil in fury. I grit my teeth. Settling at my feet again, I grip his jacket tightly. “Are you a monster or what? Do you not have any emotions Aiden? What are you? How could you do that to me?” I scream aloud, my lips trembling from my sobs. “I warned you I am a bad person. Why are you crying now? It was your decision to become my girlfriend. No one forced you Belle,” he says. More tears stream down my face, as I realize he's right. Why am I asking him? It's my fault I chose him as my boyfriend. Obviously, it's mine. “Why is it hurting you that I let Ethan fuck me? You are not my boyfriend anymore. We have broken up,” I growl. Holding my arms tightly, he pulls me closer to him, glaring into my eyes. “I told you there's no option to break up our
Why is this idiot here? Lest Aiden will hurt him too. I can't see anything bad happening to Ethan because of me. Please go away from here, Ethan. Please!Ethan's jaw tenses as his gaze shifts to my inner thigh, his eyes blazing and chest heaving up and down in fury. I arch my body to see what he's staring at. And then, my jaw drops, witnessing a purple bruise on my inner thigh.“How dare you touch her?” Ethan's loud voice echoes across the whole place, as he settles at his feet and steps towards Aiden, who's struggling to sit up on the floor. My heart races with terror, anticipating the next outcome as Ethan grips Aiden's collar, pinning him to the floor and sitting above him; and then, he shoots a wild punch on his jaw. My mouth drops open, and my pulse quickens, feeling haunted by his wrath. “Sister-in-law…” Alex’s voice guards me off. I turn my face slightly, finding Alex, Colin, and Sam also in the apartment.All of them approach me and kneel down beside me. Alex is untying my h
Ethan is driving recklessly, fuming in rage. His grip is too tight on the steering wheel, his jaw tightening as he increases the speed, his hands imprinted with Aiden's blood. Feeling scared of his wrath, I grip the seat tightly. “Ethan, we'll be dead if you continue driving like this,” I say, breaking the silence between us. And then, without any warning, Ethan pulls the car over to the side of the road and stops. He unbuckles his seat belt and gets out of the car. Shutting the door with a yank, he walks around to me, and opens the door. My heart races as he unbuckles my seat belt too, and pulls me out of the car. My pulse quickens, and my breath hitches in my throat, as he shuts the door roughly, pinning me against the car door. “What do you think of yourself, Miss Dubois? Why did you go there? What were you thinking of doing? You wanted to patch up with him. How can you love a guy like him?” he growls, tightening his jaw, his chest heaving from taking rapid breaths. How to tel
Forgetting about my so-called pride and bursting into tears, I pull him for a tight hug, crying my heart out. “I never loved Aiden, Ethan. I never did. I lied to you,” I sob. “Lied! Why?” he asks, pulling me away from him and locking his eyes with mine. “Because I wanted you to give up on me. I thought you would stop chasing me if I said this white lie,” I cry out. “So…you never loved Aiden?” he asks, his voice barely audible, choking with emotions, as tears well up in his eyes too. “Never. I never loved him.”Tears roll down on Ethan's cheeks, a smile playing on his lips, as he insists, “Come that again.”“I never loved Aiden.”“Again, Belle,” he insists, cupping my face and leaning on me. “I never loved Aiden,” I say, my heart racing as Ethan's nose touches mine, a cold shiver running down my spine.“Again,” he whispers against my lips. “I never loved…” I say, but get interrupted, my breath hitching in my throat as Ethan gives a quick soft peck on my lips and steps back. I g
I was blushing all the way home—obviously because of Ethan. I don't know where destiny will take us, but these moments feel beautiful in which I'm with Ethan. I wanted to spend more time with him. As I enter the dorm room, I see Emily using her phone in her bed. My jaw clenches as I recall the video of her making out with Aiden. She was acting like a sweet friend all the time with me. “Did you ever meet Aiden, Emily?” I ask, to get her attention. She glances up at me, raising her brows. “What do you mean?” she asks, clenching her jaw. “You slept with Aiden,” I say, not wanting to play any game. I just need to hear this from her mouth now. “I have many other things to do. I don't have time for your nonsense,” she says, standing up from her bed and walking further to the door.As she opens the door, to step outside the room, I hold on her arm tightly, tightening my jaw and pulling her back. “You slept with Aiden. I know everything.”She turns slightly to face me, locking her eyes
“Belle, open your eyes,” Ethan's voice guards me off. I flinch and open my eyes quickly, my head still laying on Ethan's shoulder. I look here and there. We're still in the car. “Did I sleep?” I ask, turning my face slightly to Ethan. He flashes a warm smile and nods. “Yes, you did,” he retorts. “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I felt so safe and comfortable. That's why.”“It's my pleasure, Belle. That you felt safe and comfortable with me,” he says, tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear. Whenever he does it, my heart flutters badly. As soon as we reach the venue, the driver pulls the car to the side and stops it. Stepping out of the car, he opens the car's door for Ethan. Ethan walks around to my side, and opens the car's door for me, giving me his hand. I sigh and hold his hand tightly, stepping out of the car. Ethan helps me adjust my dress and hair. How cute he is! I grasp his arm gently, and we both walk further in. The venue is elegantly decorated with twinkling fairy li
Emily, fuming with rage, walks away from me. I turn to look for Ethan. He's nowhere to be seen. As someone grasps my wrist and pulls me, I turn my head slightly. I see Ethan appearing out of nowhere, saving my head with his hand from Emily’s wrath, who's about to attack with a bottle. The bottle shatters on his forearm, the sound echoing in the whole place. We both flinch, but miraculously he's not injured. Small shards of glass scatter, but no blood is drawn. But now, my blood boils in anger. I glare into Emily's eyes, my chest heaving up and down in fury. How dare she! Ethan could be injured. She was wanting to hurt me, but Ethan came to protect me. What if his hand could start bleeding? Tangling my hand in Emily's hair, I grasp her hair and yank her towards me. “Belle, what the heck are you doing?” she cries out, her breathing coming in gasps as her hands fly to her head. Still pulling her hair, I walk further towards the pool, and hurl her into the pool. The splash is enormou
Hearing his words, I burst into tears and cling to him, embracing him in a tight hug by wrapping my arms around his neck, and crying my heart out. He hugs me back and lets me cry as much as I want. Aiden knows I don't know how to swim. Still he pushed me. Did he ever love me at all? How can a guy be like him? Cheater! Playboy! Liar! After a few minutes, I feel better, still lost in his arms, my eyes are closed. I don't know if it's his masculine cologne, his masculine touch, or my growing feelings for him which makes me feel safe and comfortable around him. Something is truly different with him. Everything seems peaceful. I recall every memory of our last night. How handsome he looked above me—even when he was sweating! How he said he loves me at the rooftop of the building! It was unexpected. And how he protected me from Aiden. He was his best friend. It touched my heart. I won't ever be able to forget these moments.How many minutes have we been hugging each other? People might b
