The joy that I didn’t get in the big building, I found in a small rooftop house that had a kitchen and a single bedroom with an attached bathroom. It was the house of Eric's single aunt, who moved to another country a few days back. I looked around while missing my old house, where I used to stay.“Don’t mind the house is so small,” Eric said.I turned around to look at him. I held his hands and gave him a small smile while saying “Thank you so much for helping me. I don’t understand how I should repay you.”“You don’t have to.”I sat on the bed while pressing my palms together as I recalled how we escaped from Hayden’s guest house. It didn’t go as tough as I thought because Hayden left for some work.I never thought I would be in a situation, where I had to leave my routine and hide from the mafia people. When I was leading a normal boring life, I used to hate it but only when I started to hide and escape from death, I realized how peaceful my boring life was.“Are you hungry?” Eric

His sparkling blue eyes stared into mine and his lips curved up with a smile as he held me in his arms. With his tall figure, sharp jaw, and attractive features, he looked like a model.I freed myself from his grip and tried to move away but he held me again, saying “Those guys are still there.”After hearing him, I stopped moving and rooted to the ground. He stood in front of me without fading his smile and kept looking at me, tilting his head a little.“What are you looking at?” I raised my eyebrows.He shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing. You look beautiful.”Then I realized I forgot to put my mask on after I walked out of the cafe. Ignoring his compliment, I wore my mask. When I tried to move, he stopped me again as they were still there.“Who are you? Why are you helping me?” I asked him as his behavior raised hundreds of questions in me.“I need no reason to help beautiful girls.” He winked. “You just need a little makeover to look like an angel.”I let out a sigh. “Thanks for your

Just one moment is enough for the revelation of truths, to change the situation, and to turn the plans upside down. Till the moment Hayden barged into my house with a pack of food, I decided to let him go for his good but after everything, it became impossible for me to even think about going away from his life.Though it felt like I was taking everything away from him and started to have second thoughts, Hayden's love, and stubbornness to have me eradicated my worries. Yes, I wanted to see Hayden in a great position but I wanted his happiness the most. If I were the one to provide him with the happiness that he needed, I wouldn’t think twice to be with him.Ignoring the danger we were in and emptying our heads about the future, we both started to watch a movie. I sat in between his legs, my hands holding the popcorn box while his arm wrapped around my waist.“You are holding me as if I would run away from you.” I scoffed. He pulled me even closer, saying “I am afraid you’d leave me i

HAYDENWhat did I do to deserve such a beautiful person? The question that I always asked myself whenever I looked at her. I was not a saint, not a good guy, and a monster any girl would avoid but she gave me a chance despite my flaws. She loved me regardless of my bad side and what more could I do for her except give myself to her? All of me. I gave her everything of mine and I was happy about it.Her beauty enhanced under the moonlight and her lovely eyes, while she looked at the sky, brought me a smile. I felt sad for her when she said how she wanted to feel the fresh air. Her smiling face relieved me a little.Carrying her in my arms, I took her to her cabin on the yacht as she fell asleep outside. I stroked her cheek and kissed her forehead before walking out. When I was leaving, she held my hand, mumbling “Thank you.”I kissed her knuckles and said “Anything for you. Good night, my love.”She smiled and again shut her eyes. I walked out and kept my gaze on the water while thinki

The flower vase in my hands fell when I heard him. My eyes filled with tears of happiness and I asked “A-are you serious?”He nodded. I gestured for him to enter inside but then the trust issues started to bother me. When I looked at him suspiciously, he said “You have grown up so well. I'm sorry I didn’t come earlier.”The person whom I wanted to meet was in front of me and it felt unbelievable. His words clarified to me that he was my person.I sat in front of him, held his hands, and said “Thank you for saving my life. I’ll be forever grateful for you.”He seemed he was taken aback by my actions and he shook his head, saying “It was our duty to protect you. I… I have to apologize for leaving you at an orphanage instead of taking you with me. Please forgive me. I only thought you’d be safe if I left you there as they were chasing after me. I thought to come for you but I was scared they’d know about you in case they find me.”I nodded. “You don’t have to explain anything. Because of
