"Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God!!!"Donna and Sally stood by the door, both of them looking extremely amused as I had a mental breakdown in the dressing room.They had woken me up at 6:00Am and basically kidnapped me, to take me to the hall that had been booked for today.It was a 4 hour ride in the car, filled with excitement from the Donna, silence from Sally and confusion from me. I had ignored the atmosphere and given in to the urge to get some shut eye. Once we had arrived, I was practically dragged into the hall, not even being given anytime to take in my surroundings.Several women and guards had launched themselves at me. The women leading me to the dressing room, all while gushing to themselves in shrill voices. The guards on the other hand, had formed a circle around us and led us to the room.It was after I was pulled inside and forced into the washroom that I realized what was happening. But I didn't have much time to think about anything again, as Donna and Sally started ordering people around from the outside."We're coming in." Donna said.Donna had stated before she along with Sally and a few other girls had stepped inside, luckily I was clothed but to them that was an unfortunate event and I was soon told to strip."W-What, why?" I asked.Sally had sighed in an aggravated manner while Donna had beamed."You need to get a massage of course." she answered.I had glanced around me in confusion before turning back to her excited little self. Yes, I had finally grown and inch taller than her."In the washroom?" I asked.I had fired my question in confusion, which had led to Sally pulling apart a curtain on the very other end of the washroom to reveal a hidden door."You'll get a massage in there, and then you will take a bath with all the chosen products that have been placed in the order that you will use them in. Then you will slip into your dress and we will proceed to do your makeup and hair." she answered.I nodded numbly and let them lead me to the spa room."Relax honey, you're so tensed." Donna said.Donna gave my shoulders a squeeze and passed me a gentle smile."If it makes you feel better, then me and Sally will also be getting ready with you." she said again.Sally had stiffened and turned towards Donna with a frown."Me?"Sally asked.Donna had grinned and nodded in response."Why yes, of course. Don't you want to be ready for the wedding?" she asked.My brain chose that moment to freeze as I released a shaky breath."She needs it more than me." Sally said.Sally countered as her eyes swept over me. Donna turned towards me and sighed."You're not helping by just observing, no one in their right mind would enjoy someone watching them strip." Donna said.Sally groaned but followed nonetheless, knowing that the Donna's orders were final. After I had slipped out of my clothes and only remained in my undergarments, I was laid down onto the table.The girl's hands had dug into my skin and massaged places I didn't even know could be stiff. I relaxed into a dozy state and enjoyed every moment of it. Groaning every so often in approval.From the sounds of it, Donna and Sally seemed to be enjoying themselves as well.
All good things must come to an end, and sadly it was sooner rather than later. I was sent off to take a relaxing bath with the several products that were laid out and labeled carefully for me. The time for appliance and the amount needed to be applied were all carefully mentioned.A soft baby pink robe hung at the back, it looked just my size and Donna did mention something about having it custom made. The hall's name as I had come to know was, 'Crystalia' and from what the women were gossiping about. It seemed to be the most luxurious and expensive wedding hall around.Stepping out of my clothes I stepped into the automated shower, warm water had rained down on me from the ceiling. When I had stood under the shower long enough to have my blonde hair dripping waterfalls, I began applying the products.True to Donna's words, it took quite a while and after I had applied the last one. I slipped into the bath and sat soaking in the water for a good twenty minutes. When the sleepiness began crawling back to me, I stepped out carefully and pulled on the robe.I had been specially instructed to not start drying my hair inside and was just told to put on my undergarments. I followed the orders and stepped out with the robe tied around me. I was led to a chair by on of the frantic ladies.
"We have exactly two hours, get to work."Sally ordered from somewhere in the room and was quickly led to a chair as well. Much to her dismay. Donna was also seated wrapped up in a robe and the lady with her, was setting up all of her makeup tools onto the desk before her.My desk was already set up and with a lot more products than the ones on the others. Two ladies stepped up to me one of them busying herself into the wet nest called my hair and the other one plugging in the hair dryer. She also took out pins and set them up along with combs and brushes of all sizes. Some colored bands and decorated pins also took up the space before me as the woman standing behind me, dried my hair.As soon as it was dry, she let me go put on my dress. As I slipped into the white Full sleeved dress, I flashed back to the time my mother had wanted to help me dress up as the bride and give me pointers and how father had wanted to walk me down the aisle.I pushed back the urge to cry and sat on a near by chair for a while. Luckily no one interrupted me and I got enough time to catch my bearings and stepped back into the dressing room. There were awes and gasps filled with glee that resonated around the room as all the women turned to look at me and admire the piece of clothing that hugged my waist perfectly.When they were done with ogling and complimenting me, the makeup began. She started off light and slowly but surely got more and more focused into her work, to a point at which conversation was scarce. My hair dresser did her work well and I felt a bunch of pins brush against my scalp in a way that had me tensing up each time.As they both were done with me, I was told to stand up and give all of the 6 to 8 women present in the room, a twirl. All of them were focused on me with massive grins on their faces, grins that could've scared me half to death if I was to wake up to them.As I gave them their twirl, all of them squealed and appreciated their work. I thanked the two who helped me the most and they bowed their heads in respect before leaving. I looked into the mirror and managed a smile, I did look pretty. Giving myself a twirl, my smile grew as the gown fluttered elegantly around me."Great, its almost time. Edward will be here soon." Sally said. I paused in between my second spin and the action caught both Donna and Sally's attention. Making both of them raise their eyebrows in question."Edward is coming here?"I questioned in a low voice and they nodded in unison.
"Who else is going to walk you down the Aisle? believe it or not he suggested it on his own!" Donna said.My breathing halted as I stared at both of their confused expressions. Of course he was coming, he was the brother! But why was he the one walking me down the Aisle?Would you want that man to do it?My inner voice questioned and I shuddered, nope, Edward was better. But this set everything differently, I would have to be alone with Edward and that scared me. I wasn't sure if he actually liked me or not but I could bet on the latter one being the case.This led to me walking back and forth in the room muttering 'Oh My God' countless times and Donna along with Sally giving me amused looks.But everything was interrupted by a knock that sounded on the other side, I halted and stared at Donna, who looked at the door with utter fondness. Of course she did, that was her son out their. Her son that she rarely saw anymore. She had complained to me about how both of them were ripped away from her at an early age to 'prepare' and warned me, not to let that happen with my children. I blushed as I thought back to it.And for the first time since yesterday, my mind flashed to Julian. I had been trying to stop thinking about him because every time I thought about him I also thought about the kiss and everything would come flooding back including the embarrassment of saying it and the sensation of his lips against mine.My hands reached up to touch my lips as I thought about the gentle way his lips moved against mine, relaxing me against him and making me succumb to his soft and much appreciated demand. I remembered the way his hand had moved to my head and kept it in place and how his tongue had tasted and caressed the inside of my mouth.I thought about how his breath had become ragged and how I had breathed his name. My cheeks flushed as I remembered how many times the guard had knocked from the outside but neither of us had heard him, too lost in our own actions and the pleasure those actions brought.His hand had wrapped around my waist with one holding onto the back of my head, both our breaths mingling as our chests rose and fell together and we muttered each others name in such a sensual way.Ever since his father had heard about Julian visiting me on my demand, he had kept him away. And I had come to know of this information by eavesdropping on the guards outside my door.I zoned back in and found Edward being ambushed and loved by his mother in a way that was almost brutal. He was whining in annoyance and even went as far as to puff his cheeks out, I nearly laughed at the sight. The Donna sighed and was dragged out to 'get seated' by Sally. All my laughter died down as Edward and I were left alone once again.
He didn't meet my gaze immediately just like the last time we encountered each other alone, instead he stepped up to a mirror and began fixing his hair as best as he could. I could tell that it had been perfectly styled before the Donna shuffled it. His eyes met mine in the mirror and we both scanned each other from head to toe.When our eyes met again, he grinned a Cheshire cat grin. A sneaky, cheeky, mischievous grin. That had alarms blaring in my head."Glad you didn't run away?" he said.I froze yet again, out of all the times he could've mentioned it, it had to be now. When no one was around and when there was no chance of Julian calming me down. But before I could go into full panic mode, he continued."Lets get this straight, You hate me, I hate you. End of story, everyone's happy."I frowned as his words register."I don't exactly hate you... I just don't like you."He paused and frowned at the mirror."Hard work gone down the drain then, I suppose."He mumbled to himself in an exaspera
I stood frozen as the doors slammed shut behind me, my eyes focused on all the- dead- female children in the room. Their horrified impressions printing themselves into my memory, sad faces with tears streaming down their cheeks. Mouths parted to scream, screams that were now forever silenced.All of them had boards carved right beneath their feet, boards that gave away their names, ages and time of death. Almost like a cemetery, this one though was only for kids. My eyes went from one girl to the next, there were so many. I simply couldn't believe what I was seeing. This wasn't a work of art, it was cruelty and maybe if I didn't know that these were real people at a point, I might've praised the artist.My head was swimming, my heart was thumping and my eyes were filling with tears as they followed the trail, every next girl breaking my heart into another piece. I could only imagine the fate they had suffered before this. My breathing halted as my eyes landed on one specific girl, the b
"I haven't mentioned this before so listen closely, it is very important information for your security." Julian said.I nodded in response and hugged the pillow tighter to my chest as Julian sat across from me, on the couch. A good few feet between us, as he put aside his laptop with care."The way it operates in the lair is slightly different than the rest. When a new boss is selected an oath is to be taken by the members of the gang, an oath that binds them to my command. But, after they had taken oath on my fathers hand, father introduced a method of choice and it's quite popular with the members so I can't remove it just yet."I nodded as he pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation, almost as if reminding himself of it gave him a headache."In the other gangs, an oath is taken right on the night the new boss is announced, thanks to my father, it doesn't work that way around here anymore. The members are given the time of a year to take an oath, during that year it is for them to de
His eyes raked over me in a way that would scare any maiden to death, in my case though, death wasn't an option. I was yet again, nearly bare in the presence of a man. It seemed that Edward and him were more likely to catch me off guard and undressed, than Julian was.But in Edwards case, I knew he couldn't touch me or Julian would be displeased, very displeased. I wasn't so sure about his father and from the way he was looking at me, I couldn't even force myself to relax."It seems I've caught you at the wrong time." he said.He tilted his head to a side and assessed me yet again before humming to himself. He looked away momentarily but when I made a move towards the cabinet his head snapped back to me."I would like to have a word with you." he said.I swallowed to moisten my dry mouth before nodding at him."Of course, just let me dre..."I was saying . "I'm afraid it cannot wait."He interrupted me making me frown as he met my eyes. What could've been so important that he would come all th
A hand threaded through my hair, lips tracing my cheek as an apology greeted my ear. The familiar voice and the familiar warmth made my nerves relax as I snuggled into him.His arms wrapped tightly around my waist, the soft material of his shirt rubbed against my nose as he sighed while burying his head into the crook of my neck."Have you eaten?" he asked.I shook my head in response, ready to doze back into Lala land but he kept me awake with slow and soft administrations of affection from him. When his lips connected with my neck, I jolted out of sleep and right into a panic attack.Julian pulled back with clear worry in his eyes as I became a sobbing mess. Curling up into a corner of the room, I ducked my head and hiccuped as the tears rained down my face.Julian tried to step forward, towards me, but when he realized that it sent me into a frenzy, he stopped and cussed under his breath."Amrita, Love, let me help you." he said.I shook my head without meeting his eyes through my half li
Feeling absolutely done with everything. The smallest of actions made breathing a hard task. Every time the doorknob would jiggle while I was awake. I would start hyperventilating, imagining him returning to finish what he had started.I didn't want to be alone, no matter how far I locked myself away and for how long I did, I didn't want to be left alone. It was so much scarier alone, so much worse than before. My senses were heightened when I was alone, especially in the dark.I peeked through my arms and found Julian still seated on the ground, his eyes locked with mine and he smiled. The small act encouraged me, and I hiccuped before unwinding from myself and slowly crawling over to him.He settled me against him in his lap. Arms wrapped around me and his forehead pressed against mine."Jul..jul..."I was saying.My sentence got cut off as I hiccuped again. He shushed me calmly, his hands resting on my cheeks and wiping away my tears as he whispered gently"I know love, I'm sorry." .Carefu
I opened my eyes slowly, the sound of intense typing pulling at my conscious to wake up. The first sight which I was greeted by after sitting up was of Julian. The furrow between his brows drawing my attention as I struggled between getting out of bed to remove it or sit back and frown at it, till it went away.Julian was quick to notice me assessing him with my eyes and put his laptop aside to walk over to me. It had become a routine now, after our actions of the previous night. I became even more sluggish when it came to getting out of bed and Julian took it upon himself every day to help me out and freshen me up."Come on Love, I've prepared the bath." he said.I shook my head slowly and frowned."I don't wanna move."I replied. His brows drew together in worry as I snuggled closer to the blanket, knowing the question that he was going to throw at me."Does it hurt?" he askedI looked to him and shook my head again as he approached his side of the bed. I had pulled his pillow to cover up t
"She's in danger isn't she, that's why you're pulling this shit with the training crap? You're just making sure that if you're not around then I am?" Edward asked."Yes, yes I am." Julian replied.Julian replied instantly making Edward sigh before muttering something like: "Stupid Whipped older brother."And Julian quickly corrected him saying "You mean, Boss."Huffing, both of them turned to me as I cleared my throat."Where should I change?"I questioned in a soft tone, barely containing my giggle when I spotted the sibling hating frowns -from dramas- on their faces.Julian opened another door and led me inside, He stood facing the wall with yet another frown on his face as I changed. He didn't really have to look away since he had already seen~..I cut off my thoughts as a blush rose to my face, taking a deep breath to calm my pounding heart. I slipped the corset off and hurriedly pulled on his unused tank top. As I'd guessed, it fell over my shoulders and down my chest revealing a bit too
