Torn Apart By Fate Bittersweet night
Devlin slowly ran a comforting hand over her arm and rubbed it rhythmically as she stopped crying with only dry sobs from now and then. ''But now, you do not have to worry. You now know how to defend yourself, right?”Sarah lifted her head and looked at him. He gave her a smile and she returned it back. “Hmm,” she nodded, “thank you,” she barely said in a whisper.Devlin’s heart lurched in his stomach. He was momentarily breathless as he continued to hold his gaze. Sarah was lazily gazing at him when out of a sudden, her gaze moved behind him and instantly widened. The star was back in the pit of her eyes! Devlin blinked as the next minute, she jumped on her feet.Getting off his arms, Sarah went straight behind him, a high pitch of excitement in her voice.''Look!'' When Devlin followed her gaze, an amused chuckle rose in his throat. Again he smiled.The full bright moon was rising above the city lights and the scene was an splendid scenery, putting all the lights in the whole c
Torn Apart By Fate Maybe a new beginning
Devlin! She almost took him for someone else. Gone was the gangster and messy man she knew! In its place was a mind bogglingly handsome man! His business suit impeccably tailored, his shirt snowy white, his tie meticulously knotted and a Rolex watch on his wrist! His brow went up, “well?”Her face burned as Sarah realised that while she was assessing his body he had been watching her do so. ''I- I,” Sarah stammered, embarrassed. Devlin laughed and took a step forward.''Do tell me how I look,” he interrogated mockingly, buttoning the suit nicely.''I- nice, but where are you going dressed like this?" She suddenly frowned.''A meeting”''Meeting? But you said you don't work with other gangsters...”Sarah’s frown deepened. A dark flush swallowed his face and he looked uncomfortable.''I-um,” he swept his hands distractedly through his hair, messing his well combed hair!''Don't do this!'' Sarah cried in a sharp alarm. When Devlin looked at her as if she’d grown two heads, she explaine
Torn Apart By Fate Silent wish
Devlin halted at the red light. He was in a very gloomy, dark mood. The kind of mood which would end his punching bag into a victim. The meeting with the shareholders went well. All of them were very happy and rejoiced to have seen him again. They were all eagerly waiting for him to take over again. But it was all a torture for him. Most of the time, all they talked about were his father and past memories. It tormented him! They were also curious about what had he been doing all this time. However Devlin kept it short and undetailed. He was specially grateful for Jordan’s support by his side. He had filled up the blank when Devlin didn't know what to say. Well, Jordan had to because he knew too well that Devlin was going to decapitate him the next time they meet alone. The green light was on and Devlin started his engine once again. He was sightlessly driving, his mind running with thoughts. All these years, everything had gone according to planned, yet now it felt like the strings

''You are thinking too loud, Sarah,” Devlin drawled, a slight pinch of annoyance in his voice. “ It’s making me hard to concentrate on the movie.” It was one hour after the jaw dropping event. Sarah and Devlin were sitting, by the television as he had offered to watch a movie. Devlin was completely at ease. However it was the contrary for Sarah. She was sitting on the other side of the couch, her knees up, her chin rested on them. She was deep in thoughts. The thoughts in her mind were in the traffic. It was very loud there. She could not stop thinking about how Devlin had behaved earlier. His actions, his words had given birth to a hope in her heart. She still could not understand why he had been like this, yet something was dancing in her chest. However, after this intimate moment, Sarah’s cheeks burned endlessly. She was so ill at ease and embarrassed at her own reaction to his passion.“Oh? Oh, sorry” She glanced in his direction and when she saw his lips twisted in a mockery
Torn Apart By Fate Token of love
''Phew, so many people!'' Sarah exclaimed uncomfortably. Well, there she was, an introvert after all. Devlin chuckled.''Of course Sarah, this is a city, plus today is a festival day, I guess. There is a lot of selling and buying on this day,” he briefly explained.Sarah glanced at him. Today, he wore a plain white shirt with black tight jeans and his dashing sunglasses covering his intense eyes, the hair which reached till his eyebrows was nicely pushed to the side. He was so gorgeous that Sarah’s blood rushed to her head. And she was only looking at him! She swallowed and eased the dryness in her throat. Unconsciously she tightened the hand that he was holding. Devlin glanced at her. His brows met as he noticed her red face.''Tired already?''''Oh- no I mean yes kind of,'' she rambled nervously.''Then, let's get a drink, hmm?''Sarah nodded a smile. As she was glancing leisurely at the mall next to her, something caught her eyes. She halted. She let go of Devlin’s hand and almost
Torn Apart By Fate Danger
Compared to the other incident in the village, this time Sarah had a strange feeling that this one was not going to be easy to escape! Instead of taking the way to the parking lot, Devlin hurried to the back of the tall buildings and mall. The street was bare of people. It looked like an unused path with bushes, big trees around them. However, few metres away, Sarah glimpsed the parking lot! So, he was going there through the back way. But they didn’t reach there. They couldn’t as a gang of armed people out of no where jumped on their way and surrounded them.Devlin halted. So did Sarah. In front of them, came a tall and scary looking man. He had a long scar across his face. His hair was long and tied in a ponytail. In his right hand, there was a gun. His eyes were wild like a wolf, looking at them murderously. However, soon his gaze changed to a shocked one.''Lucky? Lucky, is this really you?'' He directed his question at Devlin.The latter's grip tightened on Sarah’s hand who’s
Torn Apart By Fate Betrayed
Sarah glanced around her as Devlin let go of her wrist to launch on another man. All she saw was blood, people squirming in pain! A shaft of nausea erupted in her stomach. However, the scene of horror was quickly forgotten seconds later. Shivers suddenly invaded her body as a hard, savage voice rang behind her, too close.''Lucky! Stop right now or I’ll shoot her!'' And then a hard iron hand came across Sarah’s shoulder pulling her against a hard body! His elbow across her throat, ready to choke. Worst, there was a gun pointed at the side of her head! Sarah swallowed. She stayed still. Her ability to breathe vanished. Devlin who dropped the half dead man on the ground, turned to face them. He fired a smouldering gaze at Oscar. He took a step toward them but Oscar pushed the gun further in her head. Sarah let out a sudden cry out of terror and lifted both of her hands in surrender. Devlin stopped. He breathed out. ''Don't move!'' Oscar warned Devlin.''Ah, I warned you not to intrud
Torn Apart By Fate History
Devlin let out an unbelievable gasp. His jaw fell down as he slumped on the ground. “Sarah!” He drawled, his expression rich with shock. “Tell me you didn’t think I would kill you!”It was Sarah’s turn to blink. She frowned as the anger hit her again. Was it anger? Was it frustration? Or was it pain? She had no idea. She only knew her heart was heavy and she felt burdened!“What do you want me to expect after I learnt you lie to me!”“What lie are you talking about now?!” It was clear that tension was bringing up a change in their voice. They were both hurt. They were both afraid. But they didn’t know how to react with all these burdens on their chest. “You lied to me! You are not alone. You are with a group! Worst, you are the boss right hand! How- I thought you ar...” Sarah fought back the rush of moisture in her eyes. She bit her bottom lips, “a good person...” Then she cracked down. Why was fate so cruel to her? She asked silently as the tears came back, rolling down her che
