She was shaking with fear when he lifted her up and brought her out of the building.
“You are not going to live here after this,” he said, worried and adjusting her passenger seat.
She was still shaking.
He got in the car and started driving, he was looking at her with worried expressions as if he was checking if she was all right.
After 30 minutes of driving, they reached his mansion. She slowly got out of the car and walked towards the Garden.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“I want to live alone for a while” she said shortly and walked ahead. He was staring at her back when she had gone lost inside the darkness. He took a deep breath, put out his phone, and dialed a number.
******
“I love Matilda, you are love of my life” his voice was surrounding inside her mind. She put her hands over her ear. He confessed in a moment where he thought he lost her.
“No, it can’t be, no I hate love, no I can’t believe in love,” she repeated to herself.
She was sitting on the swing, she was feeling a bit tired while fighting with herself.
******
There was ambient silence in the room. She was sleeping while he was sitting on the bed working on some project. After a while he shut down the laptop and grabbed the business book from the side table. He had a habit of reading before going to bed.
“No,no,.” she murmured. She got alert.
“Matilda? Are you okay?” he asked while bending on her face. She was breathing restlessly.
“No….You can’t do it,” she muttered.
“I have ruined my life by marrying you,” she heard male’s voice.
“Why don’t you die and take your dirt in the name of children with you?” the woman screamed.
“Noooooooo” three women screamed. A very memory she wanted to erase. Her worst nightmare. Memories were the reason for her anxiety.
She saw a five year old in chaos. Two men were fighting, beating each other, all she could hear were screams, and then she saw a five-year-old girl running on the streets.
“How dare you?” a man beats her badly.
“No I will not come, I promise I will not come down please don’t beat me,” she was screaming in her dreams. Easton holds her shoulders and shakes her.
“Matilda, wake up” he said, worried.
She was crying as if she was in pain. She opened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. She got up in a rush and looked around her surroundings,
“Mr. Easton? What am I doing here?” she asked worriedly.
“You fell asleep in the garden” he said shortly.
Her heart was still beating fast. The nightmares were back, the nightmares she wanted to leave behind. We all have a past but it follows us if it’s abusive. She took a deep breath.
He holds her shoulders and looks inside her eyes.
“Matilda, I am here, tell me what is it?” he asked, there was something in his voice and eyes that made her freeze at the spot, she slowly set his hands off her.
“Mr. Easton,” she said as if she was trying to find words.
She got out of bed.
“I, I can’t fall in love with anyone” she said without looking at him.
He got out of the bed and turned her face towards him.
“Matilda, what is it? I have always observed there is something you are hiding, what is it?” he asked expressionlessly.
“Mr. Easton, it’s nothing, but the truth is I don’t believe in love, love is an abomination, it’s an abuse to yourself” she said bitterly. He looked inside her eyes, they were as still as stone.
“Before meeting you, I also believed that love is nothing, an abomination but now I realize what it is, when I came to know you,” he said.
“Mr. Easton, you are not understanding, all those years, I have been avoiding this, I can’t believe it, it’s something cursed” she said and turned towards the door.
“I am sorry Mr. Easton and I am leaving tomorrow, please don’t try to find me,” she said and left the room.
He was staring at the place where she was a minute ago.
He kicks over the decoration piece and breaks everything inside the room.
******
She packed everything and was ready to leave. Once again, she was leaving because she was escaping something. Something she has hated most in her entire life.
She picks up her handbag when something falls off. She picked it up and it was a purple ring box, she opened it and a beautiful ring shined over her face. She has chosen a ring for her fake engagement with Easton. She smiles.
“The girl would be lucky, who will wear this,” she thought and put the box inside her bag, she decided to parcel it through services.
She looked around her looted apartment and rolled her eyes.
“Living here was the wrong decision,” she thought and went out of the building.
“I should tell Jim too, that I am moving to another town and I will send him the address later,” she thought.
She took her phone out and was about to dial when her phone started ringing.
It was Stella.
“Why is she calling me after years?” she thought and picked it up.
“Hy Matilda, I hope you are doing fine,” said Matilda.
“Yeah I am fine, how are you?” she asked.
“Fine, hy I find something today,” she said from the other side.
“What?” she asked.
“Do you remember the other night?” Stella asked.
“How would I forget?” she said bitterly.
“Well that day you happened to kiss a random guy,” said Stella.
“Yeah Jim told me the other day” she said heartlessly.
“Well, I have found your video, kissing that guy in Sam’s phone, I thought you might be interested,” she said excitedly.
Matilda has rolled her eyes.
“Yeah so much interest, dying, please send me,” she said without any expressions.
“Okay I am sending you, you should check and by the way, he is hot” Stella said from the other side.
“If he is that hot you should find him,” she thought angrily.
“Okay Stella I got to go, I have to do something, will talk to you later” she said and hung up the phone.
“He is hot,” she said while mimicking Stella.
****************
She got a taxi to reach the airport, and was now peacefully sitting in the passenger seat, thinking about his time in this city.
“Maybe I am taking right decision, I mean it would be better for Mr. Easton that I am leaving, he will forget about his stupid feelings about me,” she thought while touching her bag softly.
“Matilda,” she heard his voice in her ear and went startled.
“No no, why am I hearing him?” she thought and put the earphone on.
It was some romantic song over the Radio, and she automatically starts thinking about him.
She put the earphones down and was irritated. She decides to look out of the window enjoying the view until she reaches the airport.
At the huge building she saw Fanaggaen company’s banner, he was standing arrogantly beside his name. She closed her eyes forcefully.
“Why on the earth do I see him everywhere?” she screams.
Cab driver looks at her from the back view mirror.
After 20 minutes, the cab stopped in front of the airport. She got out and walked towards the waiting chairs.
“I am leaving again, running from my dark past, I have to do it but I am feeling so sad?” she thought.
“Why I am feeling like I have left an important part behind” she was stretching her ID card.
“Do I love him?” she asked herself.
She was feeling very anxious.
“Hello my dear, Are you okay?” asked an elderly woman who sat next to her.
“Yeah I am fine, thanks for asking,” she said smiling.
“I am going back after years,” said the woman, smiling.
“Where are you doing?” she asked.
“Italy” said the woman.
“I left Italy, when I received the news that my husband died in a war,” she said while looking at the counter.
“Oh I am so sorry,” she said sadly.
“No, don’t be, not at all, when I found that he is killed during the war, I was so much broken, our daughter and grandchildren lives here, so they call me here, I wanted to escape that place, that was haunting me with his memories, the time we have spent together, so I left Italy and moved here twenty years ago, I have spent my these twenty years with his ghost,” she said while smile.
Matilda felt sorry for the woman.
“Do you miss him?” she asked.
“Yeah I do, because he never left me during these years and until last week, I got him back,” she said while looking at the ticket counter. Unconditionally Matilda looks in the direction where she was looking as a tall elder man walked towards their direction.
He bends down and kisses the woman.
“Oh Albert, you have never changed,” said the woman.
“Who is this pretty girl?” he asked while pointing at Matilda.
“I don’t know her name, she was sitting here, reminds me of me when I was her age, remember when I was waiting for you at the airport, you were coming back from the training?” she asked. Albert has sat with her.
“Matilda, my name is Matilda,” she said, smiling.
“Wow such a lovely name, our granddaughter has the same name” he said smiling.
“Why were you sad Matilda?” she asked.
“I am sad because I am leaving this town” she said sadly.
“You don’t want to leave?” she asked.
“I don’t know,” she said softly.
“Well, when we don’t know something, then definitely love is involved, do you love someone?” he asked.
She remained quiet.
“I don’t know if I do or not, but I am afraid of love,” she said.
“My dear sweet girl, love is not something to be afraid of, it is indeed something you should embrace,” said the woman.
“Megan? Do you remember when our daughter was afraid too, because she does not want to get married and have children?” he said.
“Yeah I remember,” she said softly.
“So how did you find out your husband is alive?” she asked curiously.
“Ah that, I did not die in war, instead I went into a coma for twenty years and when I got my consciousness back, I went home and came to realize Meg has gone, so I showed up here surprising her,” he said cheerfully.
“I have almost lost the love of my life and look I got him back and I will spend every inch of my life to be with him” said Megan.
These two were in their seventies but their love was as young as it is.
Then they heard someone calling a name hysterically.
“Marcus, Marcus where are you, I have come for you, I realize that I love you Marcus,” a tall black haired girl who was wearing a wedding dress was calling someone’s name.
“Marcus, I know it’s too late, I know you are here Marcus, I wanted to say I love you” she said with tears in her eyes. But no one has appeared. She turned silently when a deep manly voice called her name.
“Lena?” she turned, a smile appeared over her face.
A tall man who had light brown hair and had an undercut hairstyle ran towards her and hugged her tightly. They shared a passionate kiss.
“Oh baby I found you” she said and both left.
“Sometimes love finds its way lately but it does” said Albert while Megan smiled.
“Love is something pure and difficult to emerge, it lives deep inside our heart, we just have to feel it” he said.
They both got up.
“Seems like it’s our flight time, we have to go” said Megan, she looked up.
They both looked perfect together.
“You need to find that in your heart” said Megan and kissed her over her forehead and Albert smiled. She smiled in return. They both left.
Her phone vibrates. It was a message from Stella. “Oh Gosh she must have sent me the video from that doomed day” she said disappointed and played the video.
As much as she was watching the video her expressions turned solid.
She played the video and her facial expressions were changing from time to time. She replays it many times and every time it feels unreal. “Mr. Easton, I kissed Mr. Easton was the random guy I kissed?” she screamed. Every passenger in the airport was looking at her as if she was saying, “Hijack”. She was panicking. “Did he know?” She thought. She put the puzzle together. The day she saw him for the first time, his gaze on her, the day when he was making out with his employee, he asked the model to get out, not her. “He knew me, from the beginning he knew me,” she said in a whisper. Her phone starts vibrating. ‘Incoming call Alejandro’ was shining over the screen. “Alejandro, why is he calling me? Did he know I am leaving?” she thought, puzzled. She answered. “Hello Matilda,” he sounded worried from the other side. “What happened Alejandro?” she asked. “Matilda, Easton is with you?” he asked worriedly. “No he is not. I did not go to the office today,” she said. There was a
She looked inside his blue eyes with barely open eyes. “Matilda? Matilda?” She heard his voice inside her head and after that, she had gone lost in the darkness. ***** His shirt was stained with blood; he was walking anxiously across the hospital’s operation room. It had been an hour; she was inside being treated for her injuries. He was looking at her from the small glass window on the door. “I won’t let anything happen to you,” he whispered. He looked at his phone and dialed a number. “I need to know who he was and drag that bastard to me as soon as possible” he said angrily and hung up the phone. The doctor came out. “What is it?” he asked while starching his forehead. “Miss Huston is fine, just an injured shoulder, she will recover within a month and half, the bullet has been taken out on arrival” said the doctor professionally. “Can I see her?” he asked. “Yeah but right now she is not conscious, but you can see her” said the doctor smiling and he left. Easton rushed ins
She has never felt this much happiness. She was feeling heart fluttering and filled with love. When we fall in love, everything seems pleasurable and happy. All we want is to be around that person who becomes our other half. Love is like a gift, like fresh water to a person who has been thirsty for age, a miracle in need. A person who is incapable of love is the saddest and depressed person in the world. Matilda Huston is continuously haunted by her past. The abusive past that made her lost inside darkness. She stopped believing in love, but when love knocked on the door she denied it, but in the end love won but like all stories her story has to face a lot so it begins her very tough journey in the way of love. She has been in hospital for three days, Easton has not left her side but in the morning she insists him to go for some rest. She was lying and thinking about new changes in her life, when the door knocked. She looked up. “Jim?” she called his name happily. He came inside h
She was standing in front of the bridge. The water was running like time. She never has thought that her life would take this turn. She never thought that she was gonna fall in love despite her dark past. Thinking about her past she always feels shiver. All she could remember about her past was darkness, pain and loneliness. 15 years back A little girl who had short hair was standing leaning over the wall terrified. She was so terrified that she was frozen. Her parents were screaming and shouting. Her maternal uncle, aunt and Grandma were there too. They all were fighting and screaming, she doesn’t know what they were fighting for? She did not know that this fight would turn physical after a few minutes, she was scared. She looked at her father who was completely unaware what really was happening to her due to this fight. It was in the corridor of the house where they were fighting, her uncle was screaming from inside of the room while her aunt and mother were fighting outside. In
She got up and climbed upon him kissing him passionately. “I love you Easton,” she said in a whisper. “I love you too,” he said while grabbing her hair softly. He was kissing every inch of her face softly. He softly put her down and they started making out in the car. The raindrops were falling upon the car’s windows. She sets her head back on the back seat and he climbs up on her. He was placing his soft kisses on her neck. She moans. He moves up and kisses her forehead. She moves her fingers softly in his light blond hair. As much as he goes down on her breasts she moans with pleasure. She wanted to be with him for eternity, for life. The love of her life. He was kissing in between her soft warm breasts while she was moving her long and slim fingers in his hair. Digging his head in her chest. His nose was pinning between her breast. He could hear her heavy heartbeat. She was moaning with pleasure. His lower body was between her legs. He moved down on her belly and planted a ki
She was preparing some papers for the office when the memories from the last day came to her mind. She smiled and blush. His marks were still visible on her neck. She heard the car’s tire screeching. She got up and went towards the window. “Who can it be?” she thought. She looked closely. Car’s doors opened and a short man came out of it. Her heart stopped beating and then the other door opened and a dark haired medium height woman came out of the car. She felt like her heart dropped to the stomach. The woman had many features like her. She turned towards the sofa and grabbed her phone. “Hello Mr. Easton, I, I need your help” she said in a worried tone, making him startled. “What it is Mel? Are you okay? Tell me I am coming home” he said worriedly. “Mr. Easton, I am leaving home from the back of the house, I will tell you everything, I have seen your bike over there I would ride over it” she said in a rush and grabbed her bag. She ran towards the backyard of the house where his
Easton’s POV I have never fallen in love with anything like this, like I did for her. She was everything for me. I never thought that I would fall this hard. I wanted her more, more and more. My body was craving for her again and again and she was indeed my death. She was in arm sleeping peacefully. I was staring at the roof. Her light scent was spreading around me making me crave for her even more. I looked down, she was indeed in deep sleep. I planted a soft kiss on her forehead. “I will always love you baby,” I whispered. At the same time she moaned in her sleep. “Oh Mr. Easton, do it fast,” she muttered. I chuckled. She was indeed seeing me with her in the dream and this thought made my cock even harder. I looked down at her, my erection and a smirk appeared on my face. I kissed her on her cheek and then lips. It was the 3rd time in a single night that I aroused again. I placed my lips on her lips and kissed her passionately as I expected she had returned my kiss, losing con
She was feeling sick for a few days and almost lost her appetite. She was suffering from morning sickness too. Easton was sleeping when she felt uneasy in her chest; she turned to face him. He was sleeping peacefully. She got up and rushed towards the bathroom. He woke up to the sounds of her coughing. He walked towards the bathroom she was throwing up. “What happened to Mel?” he asked worriedly.“I don’t know Mr. Easton, I am feeling sick lately” she said while coughing.“Hy why didn’t you go to the doctor?” he asked while putting her hair behind her ear.“I have an appointment today” she said, exhausted.“I will come too” he said.“No you should go to the office where you have an urgent meeting today” she said.“Are you sure?” he asked.“Yeah,” she said softly.“Okay do call me and tell me everything” she said while hugging her softly.“Yeah I will” she said shortly. She was staring at their image in the mirror. She took a deep breath and hugged him. ********“Since when you are fe
