Chapter 8
Laying my phone down, I sit on my bed and uncap the bottle of Chanel Le Vernis in ‘Rouge Noir,’ the rich, deep color is my favorite shade. With steady hands, I begin to apply the polish on my long, slender fingers.
Just then, my phone starts buzzing. Who's calling now? Without glancing at the phone screen, I picked up the call.“Belle, what are you doing babe?” Aiden's voice comes from the other side. I press the phone between my ear and my shoulder as I continue applying nail polish.“I'm busy,” I say.“Busy? Doing what?” he asks.“Applying nail polish.”“Nail polish. Seriously! Is nail polish more important than me?” he exclaims.“Yes. And by the way we've broken up. Did you forget that?”“You broke up. I didn't. You aren't allowed to break up with me until I want that.” he utters.“And when will you want that?” I ask.“Never,” he retorts.Related chapters

"You have a natural talent," the photographer praises. His words reassure me, his compliment gives me more confidence. "I think you have a bright future.” I flash a wide grin. “Thank you so much,” I say. At first I felt nervous but as the session progressed, I found my confidence growing more and more. I gave an audition, walked the runaway with elegance, like a diva.“We'll be in touch,” the casting director says, rendering me his business card; I make my way out of the modeling company.After a very tiring day, I reached my boyfriend's apartment. Now only spending time with him can freshen up my mood and energize me. “Hi!” I greet him as I enter his apartment, but he doesn't respond to me. Sitting on his couch, he continues playing his video game, his face cold and rude; the glow of his massive flat- screen TV illuminating his focused face. His fingers move deftly over the controller, his eyes never leaving the screen. Sometimes I feel jealous of his fondness for video games. He

“Belle, let's kiss now.” Aiden cups my face and leans to me. I push him slightly away from me. “I'm feeling under the weather. Sorry,” I say, standing up from the couch. Tears brimming into my eyes; I glance away briefly and walk outside of his apartment, my mind swirling with anxiety and frustration of my parents' fight. All the fights I've witnessed of my parents, reeling in my mind like a movie. What bad had I done in my past life that I was born as their child? I wish I would have died the day I was born. Walking hopelessly in the corridor of the dorm, I bump into someone all of a sudden and fall above that person, letting a gasp come out from my mouth. My breasts press on the hard chest of that person. I glance up swiftly to see him. It's Ethan. His long, dark brown hair falls in waves around his face, brushing his cheekbones. My eyes meet his dark brown eyes; his gaze is often intense and penetrating, as if he can see right through my soul. Lost in his eyes, tears fall

After waking up in the morning and getting ready for class, when I and Emily reach the school corridor, we see that there is a notice pasted there on the board. “What is this?” I knit my brows and turn my face to Emily.“This must be a section notice. Our new academic year has started, so our sections must have changed now,” she retorts.Letting a gasp come out, I nod my head. That means now I'm no longer in the same section as Emily.“Let's see,” I say.As I walk near the notice board, my eyes start searching for my name in the list. I grin as I find my name. “Emily, I'm in section C,” I shout as I try to find her in the crowd. “And I'm in section A.” She approaches me. I knew that we were going to part.“Okay, meet you at lunchtime.” I bid her goodbye and ran towards my class. I'm already late. I hope the teacher will not punish me on the

Fury consumes my whole body, as I get to know about Aiden and Ethan's friendship. My eyes land on Ethan as soon as he enters the cafeteria—his eyes meet mine. Every person present there gathers him, and starts asking void questions.“Ethan, how did you manage to impress her? Tell us the secret.” My jaw tightens as their voices pass through my ears. Ethan smirks witnessing my rage. He must be enjoying all the attention he's getting because of me. Controlling my wrath, I roll my eyes and sit down on my seat with Emily. As we begin to eat, students gather around us. “Belle, when did you both start dating?” a girl asks out of the blue.Tightening my grip on the spoon, I glare into her eyes. “He's not my boyfriend,” I say. “Oh, come on. Everyone heard what Ethan said a few minutes ago. Don't lie now,” she says. “He's lying,” I shoot a quick response; her brows furrow as she asks, “Why would he lie?”Because he wants to see my boyfriend, whom I'm hiding from everyone. “I don't care what

Turning off the lights of the dorm room, I lay in my bed. Emily is spending the night with her boyfriend today; I'm all alone, lost in the thoughts of Aiden and Ethan. I'm just worrying about how am I going to save myself from that Ethan? How am I going to solve the problem Ethan has caused for me? How will I do everything all alone? How will I manage to make Aiden count on me? And how will I manage to make Ethan give up on me? How will I do that? Gasping the air out of my mouth, my eyes land on the ring I wear 24/7, the diamond ring Aiden gave me the day he confessed his feelings to me. I still remember that day, actually it was evening; that was the most beautiful evening of my life. The memories of that day wash over me.I was reading a book, like I always do, and all of a sudden Aiden's text popped on my phone screen. Hearing the buzzing sound of my phone, I anticipated that it was Aiden. I ran towards my phone as if my life depended o

As I open my eyelids, I can see a stunning full moon through the window. All of a sudden, someone wraps a hand around my waist, pulling me closer from behind. My pulse quickens, the heat rising to my cheeks. “Aiden…” I say, anticipating his touch. He starts trailing kisses on my neck softly from behind; I shut my eyes and tilt my head giving him space—his touch sending shivers down my spine. As he caresses my arms, I feel his arousal against my back—his kisses turning more wild and intense on the crook of my neck, making my desires grow more for him. “Ahh…Aiden…” My voice trembles under his touch. “I can feel you trembling. Tell me what you need, Belle,” he whispers in my ear—his voice husky and deep. As he turns my body slightly to face him, I open my eyes, staring down at my feet. My heart beat increases, my chest heaving up and down. I can feel his warm breath as he leans on me to capture my lips.

I caress Aiden's hair, my mind swirling with thoughts of Ethan. How am I going to tell Aiden about him? Just then, my phone starts ringing, pulling me back to reality. “Aiden, excuse me!” Standing up from the sofa, I place Aiden's head on the sofa gently, and make my way to his balcony to find privacy to pick up the call.“Hello,” I say, picking up the call without glancing at the phone screen.“Hey Belle, it's Max,” the manly voice comes from the other side.My lips spread in a wide grin. Max is Emily's boyfriend and my good friend—a well wisher to me. He is the only guy who didn't propose to me even after being friends with me, because he loves Emily. Maybe that's why I have faith in him. “How are you?” I ask, my voice softens.“I'm good. Actually, I wanted to ask you about Emily. She's not responding to my calls and messages for a few days,” he retorts, his voice sounding tense. “But wasn't she with you last night?” I ask, my mind swirling with thoughts of Emily's departure last

Before going to the dorm room, I think of going to the library before it gets closed. I tug a book from the bookshelf and my eyes land on Ethan, standing on the other side of the bookshelf. Our eyes meet as he glances down into my eyes.Talking to Aiden about any other guy is as if jumping into a burning fire. Should I talk to Ethan instead of talking to Aiden about it? Should I tell Ethan that my boyfriend is none other but his own best friend. Maybe he'll comprehend.“Mr. Wilson, can we have a talk?” His lips curl into a smile. “I'm dying to have a talk with you anyway.” He comes towards me from the other side of the bookshelf. “Please talk,” he says, his smile showing his excitement to talk to me. I look straight into his eyes, my pulse quickens and stomach grumbles as I utter, “You want to know who my boyfriend is. Right?” He nods his head. “So, if I tell you who my boyfriend is, what will you do then?” I cock my brows. He smirks and steps closer to me. “I'll beat him to death,
