Jane was lying on her bed, her restless mind was an absolute mess. Sleep was far away from her teary eyes. Since she came back from Johnson mansion, she couldn't stop her restless mind for a second. Hatred, Regret, Gratitude, were mixing up in her mind making her wish to be vanished. She tried to escape to her imaginary world but her mind didn't allow it. Her thinking came to a halt and her inner voice seemed to stop for the first time since evening as she heard the sound of the door opening. Her every sense rose to its high alert mode. Getting up from the bed she was about to take a step when she figured out a dark silhouette near the door." Wh...who?" Jane gulped in fear. Before even she could repeat her words a tall figure started taking slow steps towards her, like a predator to its prey. The light from the night lamp fell on his sharp features making them clearer gradually."Ad..Addy.. You ?" Jane couldn't believe her eyes. Adrian? Here? How? Wasn't he supposed to be at his pa

Have you ever pretended to be alive? Have you ever been to your own funeral? That's how Jane felt as she stirred, her eyes fluttering open to a world that seemed alien. The room now bore the scars of a storm she didn't want to remember. A shiver crawled up her spine, and her cold hand traced the outlines of bruises etched into her skin. She felt small, and fragile, like a porcelain doll shattered and left abandoned.She heard the roar of the thundering sky. It must be raining. The room seemed to hold its breath, even the sky was mourning alongside her. Jane touched the tender spots on her arms trembling, the sole proof of her pained tale she wished was a nightmare.Last night she lost something precious and it was more than just her sexual innocence. She had lost a part of herself forever and deep down she knew it would probably never be the same. Tears welled up, rolling down her cheeks, leaving a salty trail on her skin. She was tired, not just physically tired but the kind of tir

“ Oh come on Jane! Don't pretend. DON'T FUCKING PRETEND.” Isabella shouted at the top of her lungs. “ What… what happened?” Jane was dumbfounded. “ Ask your dear lover, who is bloody obsessed with you. Last night Adrian beat Ryan so badly that he is in the hospital right now. He is still unconscious!”Jane felt the ground beneath her slip listening to Isabella. “ Ry.. Ryan…” she only managed to utter the name as a lump formed in her throat. “ Wh… why …. How?” Her voice cracked. The heaviness of her heart was too much to bear. “ For you of course.” Isabella snapped. “ Look at you Jane. Somehow managed to pull two men way out of your league and still acting all innocent and clueless". Isabella threw the venomous words at her as her rage boiled over.“ Trust me.. trust me, Bella. I didn't know anything. Ryan.. where is he? Please tell me. Is he okay?” Jane cried out loud. Her only friend in this city was in hospital just because of her and the thought killed her in guilt and shame.

“ Jane has been missing for the last three days, Addy”. Andrew's voice made Adrian stop on his track. “ She might be with her family or friends. What's the big deal?” Adrian tried to keep his tone normal. “ That's right. She is with her friend. In Fact, when Britney called her she said that she was with Isabella.” Andrew said, looking nowhere but straight to Adrian.“ So?” Adrian turned completely to face his brother. “ Nothing. But that girl is very kind and considerate I must say. I mean I just went to visit Ryan Gomez two days ago at the hospital and his cousin, Isabella was quite angry with all of us. She had every right to be. But you know what the funny thing is? She was very angry with Jane too. So isn't it amazing how she was so damn angry with her friend but still let Jane live with her. On top of that, she pretended like she didn't know anything about Jane's whereabouts. Interesting, no?” Andrew's gaze looked at Adrian sharply, his tone was laced with mockery and chall
