My alarm was ringing on the side table of the mattress. I broke my eyes from sleeping and rubbed my eyes with my fingers. There was no window in this room. I didn't sleep in this room. How did I come here? It panicked me. I removed the blanket and looked down at me. I was in the same dress. I sighed a relief breath. How did I come here? Alarm was still ringing. I turned it off. I stepped down. Cold floor greeted my bare feet, my heels were gone. I put the slipper on and lazily walked toward the washroom. I brushed my teeth. Warm water was taking away my laziness. After showering, I opened my cupboard. I picked a printed white gown for me. I donned my clothes and light makeup. I remembered his words ' Happy Bride.' I put on platform heels. I saw myself in the mirror. I gathered my books and placed them back in my backpack. I removed my phone from the charger. I hung my backpack on my shoulder and paced to the door. I turned its knob. But it was locked. I knocked on it, " Hey! I'm get
Eveleen's POV Clearing the blur web, I opened my eyes. Headache hit me first. Rose came in view. She smiled at me. I was staring at her in bemusement. I tried to straighten up and felt the pain. Immediately, She helped me to sit. I felt a spasm of pain in my hand. I peeked at it. It was wrapped in a white bandage. " Carefully you got a fracture in getting back your purse from scoundrels. " She said with a taste of anger in her tongue. It confused me more. What the he** was she talking? I put pressure on my mind. Then It summoned in my mind the story I told those women to get their phone to make a phone call to her. I moved my eyes around me. My heart began to throb rapidly in my chest. I was frightened like he**. I hardly escaped from his cage. I was back in the cage. All laziness and pain vanished for that moment. I sighed thickly. My chest was rising up
Eveleen's POV I spent my whole day watching television and studying. My breakfast arrived in my room. After studying, I took a nap. I was alone at the dining table. I didn't see Thomas. He must be in the hospital. It sent shivers in my body as I recalled the memories when monsters were shooting viciously at us. I asked everyone whom I had met since morning about Thomas. I was hoping he would be fine. How could he break my hand without knowing the truth? He operated the world with his thinking. I didn't even know his intentions behind this marriage. According to my friends and family, he is an international business tycoon. I was damn sure he's more than that. There's no female in this house, all cooks are male. Bodyguards are like mannequins who are in suit to decorate every corner of this building. I asked every single man to know Thomas' condition. All pretend as if I don't exist in this world. Mor
Duante's POV I bottomed out my drink. It pissed me off when she pointed the gun at herself. She was going to hurt her. I've told her I don't feel for her. Fu**! I can't keep her out of my thoughts. She is driving me crazy. It's a pure feeling. I don't want her forcibly. People didn't dare to come near me. Today I allowed them, because I wanted to prove my wife wrong. I'm an international businessman, not just it, I'm The Mafia Emperor. My eyes were searching for my girl. I saw remorse in her eyes when these girls were swaying around me to catch my attention which I ignored like always. I put the empty glass down and picked up the second one. I sipped from my second drink. My eyes were fishing for her. I went near the railing and she wasn't there. I fisted my hands. " Where's she? " I asked Tann and Akash. Akash started to panic and shuttered. I gripped hi
Eveleen's POV My mind was still occupied with the thought of whatever happened in the club and that monster. Duante was glaring at him as he'd kill him at the spot without any delay. Now I was assured of it, this marriage has something to do with him. There can be anything between them. He asked her, did she want to marry him? I could not ask him. He would never tell me. I blinked and broke my fixed gaze on the traffic down. I was on the tenth floor. Traffic was looking like queues of small trains, headlights and yellow street lights looking like tiny stars. Traffic was moving slowly under street lights. I was lost in my view. I glided my hand on the banister. My hand felt strong skin touching my hand. I moved my eyes. It was his hand with the same blue fabric. I immediately turned to face him. I didn't know when he came behind me and was there, standing like this? He was so close. He never came so cl
EVELEEN'S POV The door shut behind us. I took a deep relief breath. " Are you insane? You're just seventeen. He looks older than your father. " I scolded her. She started crying, " He killed my parents and he had captured my brother. If I didn't do what he said, he will murder my brother too. " She said in a cracked voice. Tears were flowing continuously from her eyes. I could feel her pain as I went through the same pain. But Still my situation was totally different. Duante didn't kill my family. " Shh! Stop crying. We don't have much time. I'll find your brother and then you haven't any need to do this marriage. " I wiped her tears. She was crying. I knew this feeling. I would not let her do this. I placed my hand on her forearm. She cried in pain as my touch was giving her pain.
I opened my eyes. I rambled it around. My head was spinning. Brutal sight started to flash in my mind. Anita was in danger. I got up from my place. He was standing beside the bed filled with anger. " I need to go? " I told him and put out my feet. Soft red carpet was beneath my feet. I ran at the door, " You're not going anywhere. You shouldn't interfere in someone's personal matter. We're leaving now. " He announced in annoyance. "No way! She ain't marrying that beast. And what personal life. She's seventeen." I snapped. It added fuel to his anger. He held me tighter, " Enough! You're going with me now. " he enraged. I was sobbing and battling to get myself free. Someone knocked at the door. " Get out. " He said loudly. " Brother! " Thomas came in view, " She'll get hurt. " He
EVELEEN'S POV My sleep broke early today. I was ceaselessly glaring out of the window. Balustrade was touching from roof to floor now, giving it the full look of cage. I had attempted to jump from it, indeed I threatened him to jump from it. My husband made it prisoner for me. Now it was giving me the proper feeling of a cage. I put my feet on the floor. I swiveled to see him. He wasn't here nor my note. I thought it would blow up with wind. I hopefully peeped under bed, it wasn't there. That indicated that he had gotten my note. Door creaked open. He stepped in the room. He was looking handsome in a cream suit and coffee color shirt, a Rolex watch was gleaming on his wrist. His upper two buttons were unfastened. My bitten mark was visible from his open shirt, although it started to fade, I knew this mark would not go. I bit my bottom lip and stood up and sat on the mattress. Shouldn't he
EVELEEN'S POV I should be happy, but I was feeling gloomy. Every morning I woke up without a smile on my face. It had been two weeks. He didn't return yet. I thought to ask him his arrival time. Should I call him? ' No, bad idea.' My teachers studied me daily here. It took my half day. I woke up late and slept late. I watched Netflix in the evening. Thomas always engaged with his work. He played chess sometimes with me, When he found me sad. I wasn't allowed out of the house. I was missing my family, friends. Rose and I had a fight. Mini was back from Punjab. She talked to me on WhatsApp and called me daily. I didn't ask her to visit me. I didn't know this was allowed by my husband or not? I didn't know why he made the decision to marry me. I wasn't good for him, maybe for him but not for his Mafia world. People are cruel here. He didn't show me his worst side, but I had see
