Torn Apart By Fate Pay back
The night was cold and dark, devoid of the moon and stars. Glancing next to the door, he found her, her head bent on her knees, her arms wrapped around her. Instantly, guilt and regret crept over his emotionless heart. Devlin gulped to ease the tension in his throat and bent next to her. He slid a hand across her tiny shoulder.''Sarah?'' Softly shaking her only to find that she was deep asleep when her head effortlessly slid in the crook of his arms. His heart skipped a beat and his intake of oxygen cut. Left with no choice, slowly, Devlin picked her up in his arms to carefully put her on her bed. Quietly, he pulled the covers over her and then gazed at her face. Her mesmerising eyes were closed and the lashes seemed longer than usual. Her lips were slightly parted and she was breathing softly and melodiously. When Devlin noticed the tears’ marks on her cheeks, an unfamiliar emotion controlled his body and without knowing what he was doing, he gently wiped them with his thumbs. Aga
Torn Apart By Fate Is it a fling?
Throughout the whole week, they spent their days in training and Sarah deliciously enjoyed it! Only the first day of the training Devlin went out in the afternoon but the next days, he stayed with Sarah, whether he liked it or whether he was here only to make sure she kept her mouth shut, God knows.What Sarah learnt was, during these days, she was growing fonder and closer to him. She had completely migrated to a different world where her past didn’t exist, her parents completely faded and the only character in this world was none but Devlin. Not that she didn’t think and miss her parents, of course she did, quite often but she’d pushed them at the back of her head, promising herself that she was only going to enjoy the moment and not worry about anything else. She knew for sure her parents and the police were looking for her, and she knew as well that Devlin or herself must have had unconsciously left clues about their surrounding. Thus, sooner or later, she was going to leave Devli
Torn Apart By Fate Who really is Sarah?
Right now, Sarah was on the last trial. Sweats dipping from her forehead, rolling down her nose to fall down on the ground. She was in combat position, her knees slightly bent, her fingers tightly rolled in a punch and there was a bandage wrapped around her knuckles which were stinging badly. Nevertheless, her eyes and concentration were on the target in front of her, Devlin. He was in defense position. Sarah needed to punch him in his chest but his defense moves were too swift and he had blocked her every punch. It was the tenth time that she’d tried again but failed. This time, she was full of frustration as she couldn't do it! She started to feel irritated. Tears of frustration and fatigue started to form behind her eyes. But she couldn't cry in front of Devlin who was unfairly so rapid and too good! She couldn't do it.Giving up, Sarah loosened her fists and slouched tiredly on the ground. Devlin was taken back by her action. He quickly appeared by her side, bending on his knees,
Torn Apart By Fate Back to action!
After a while, Sarah decided to go upstairs and slump on the bed. Trying hard to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall, she heard Anne and Sean chatting downstairs. So they were back, she sighed a relief, at least she was not alone anymore although the loneliness in her chest seemed to press on her even more.Soon after, a sudden silence filled the house. Trying to harken what was going on, the next instant, the door of the room flew open, presenting a restless and breathless Devlin. Sarah immediately sprouted on her feet. She gasped as she looked at him. Her heart started to palpitate alarmingly.One hour earlier, Devlin received a message from Jordan, asking him to meet up urgently. The last time they met was two weeks back , on the first day of Sarah's training. That day, the two friends parted on not a very good term. Devlin was very furious at Jordan as he was wrong, very wrong about Sarah. It had been two days since their last training and these questions kept on cl
Torn Apart By Fate Tension! Tension !
Sarah immediately recalled what Devlin had told her during their training.“Women are not weak but they often consider themselves to be. It does not matter what size or what shape you are, if you are faced with a danger, or if you have someone to protect, you will definitely do your best to protect them. All you need to do is to be confident and believe you can do it, believe you can protect yourself and others around you.”A bubble of mixed happiness and astonishment burst into her as she turned back, looking for Devlin who already had his eyes on her. Leaning against the wall, arms crossed over his chest, a proud grin lingered on his lips. He closed the distance between them.''I didn't know slapping was part of martial arts and I certainly didn't teach you this,” he noticed mockingly. Sarah vented a laugh and covered her face with her hands. Devlin laughed back and patted her head.''Well done, Cheetah! Come, we have to start moving now!” His eyes back to bold and taking hold of
Torn Apart By Fate Who really is Tiger?
The image she had drawn of Devlin was absolutely wrong, Sarah realised faintly. She had thought that he was a one man gangster, walking and living all alone, while occasionally fighting others gangsters who tried to mess up with him, but she was wrong. Now, there was Jordan added to the scene. One look at them, and it showed that they shared a very strong bond. The puzzles weren’t fitting at all! On top of that, Devlin was rich! The amount of money he’d handed to Anne could only proved that. With this last piece of revelation, Sarah reached to only one possibility. Devlin was not really a gangster. He had to be the son from a very wealthy family. Children from the upper class household tend to choose this kind of life because average normal life is way too boring for them. But then again, Devlin didn’t fit in this kind either! He didn’t at all correspond to the checklist of spoil brats. She sighed inwardly.In the front seat, Devlin licked his lips and swallowed down the easiness in h
Torn Apart By Fate Love
Sarah let out an exclamation of awe as the jeep drove through the city streets. It was a city as busy as New York yet it was not New York. The name of the city was unknown to Sarah. As a matter of fact, they reached there a little after sunset. The orange purplish sky has turned the city into a golden city. The streets were fraught with people, most of them clothed in business suits and classy outfits. Half of the city lights were reflecting in Sarah’s big, stunned eyes. Sarah had never been to a city before, only seen them in postcard and pictures. She was often moved by its night beauty. With an anguish reluctance, her mind went back to the past. She recalled the days, the month, the years when she had sat down by her window, looking at the mountain with a sharp sadness and melancholy in her heart. Her friends, her cousins had all gone to parties, to family reunion yet she had never been allowed to participate in them. Often during these moments, she had envied the princesses in he
Torn Apart By Fate Dark mood
Sarah gulped and her pulse skyrocketed. What does he mean? Her eyebrows furrowed.''I found something about your address. Your sister lives in the city next to this one. I...I just have to confirm it then I shall let you know.” With a thud, her heart dropped in her chest and her mouth went dry.''Oh,” the single word exclaimed with disappointment. If Devlin noticed her lack of enthusiasm to go home, he didn't show it. Not surprising to find the toast tasteless after that kind of news, she wrinkled her nose critically, trying to mask her sadness with irritation. Sarah changed the topic. ''Eish! Your cooking skills are so awful. I missed eating the takeaways food my sister used to buy for me here,” she grumbled. Deep inside, two feelings were conflicting with each other; one Sarah missed her mother and her sister deeply and the other one was her love for Devlin, which was getting fiercer day by day.''Sarah, I'm a gangster, not a cook,” he defended himself with a chuckle. Sarah looke
