Thirty minutes passed in a blur. Emma was slowly losing her patience as Damien was purposely exceeding the time limit decided for her interview. He was asking her unnecessary and repetitive questions. And Emma had no choice but to answer him.Like right now, he asked her to give a brief introduction about her current work, again.Emma inhaled sharply before speaking, "As I told you, Sir, I analyze the details of the company’s projects and am also in charge of cyber security which includes securing the company's site to protect it from any malware." She kept explaining to him but Damien was least interested in that information. His sole focus was on her plush lips that were moving nonstop tempting him to suck them. Damien took a deep breath and skimmed his eyes all over her face. Her coruscating blue hues and the pink glint on her cheeks had him enchanted. Her balmy scent flowing in the room delighted him as well as Scar who was jumping in his head making him grin."Sir?"Her voice bro
A blood-curdling growl reverberated through the dark woods that could wilt the beautiful blossoms of the woods. The humongous black creature veered to his left and disappeared into the wild bushes. Trudging through them, he took a big puff of fresh air that swatted his face but still, it wasn’t strong enough to extinguish the fire in his heart. His thick, shiny brown fur sparkled in the moonlight like embers.The beast’s large ears perked up by the rustling of leaves. His eyes darkened in rage when he stared at the lavish vegetation of the forest. A sick thought to ravage them crossed his mind. His golden eyes teeming with raw madness glared at them as if he could burn them alive. The cynical monster pounced on one of them and started pushing it with his massive height. The poor tree could no longer stand in front of his hulk and succumbed to death. And eventually, that tree joined a pile as the beast soon started demolishing the greenery of the forest.He was unstoppable, unrelenting
Emma's P.O.V.Dawdling in my room, I was thinking about all the contingencies after leaving my only source of survival. Though in fury, I gave my resignation letter to Boss, the point is how will I be able to pay the money for infringing the contract?The first thing I did after returning home from the office was to check the sunset clause. My soul left my body after checking the amount that I have to pay back if I resign before the contract ends. It was nearly half of my wealth that I had stashed for years."What should I do Reina? I can't work for that monster who tried to tarnish my dignity. You know it wouldn't have taken me a second to kill him but then I would have become an overnight sensation. A seventeen-year-old girl murdered the richest man of New York. And no one would believe me if I tell them the truth. God, what should I do?"I was so unnerved at the moment that my hair turned damp from perspiration. Suddenly an idea to check my treasure popped into my idea. Let's see h
Damien's P.O.V.Fastening the buttons of my suit, I grabbed my favorite Rose gold Patek Philippe watch from the vanity and tied it around my right wrist.Today will be fun.The girl of my dreams was my enemy. Such an irony. No wonder I felt a strong pull towards you Emmaline. Sadly, that pull wasn't of love but hatred.A scoff escaped my lips. I was thinking of enshrining my future with my enemy. Moon Goddess forbade me.But the game has become more interesting now. My Princess, lastly, I got you. That's why you were able to read my mind that day, you could feel my eyes on you. My wolfy, you can fool the entire world but not a werewolf itself. Our fate crossed paths and left you at my doorstep, and now I can't wait to crush you between my fingers.It would be interesting to see how you’ll be able to hide this fact from me? I want to see your reaction when I'll expose you in front of everyone.But not now. Today my Princess had planned on paying the money for breaching the contract. Yo
Emmaline stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Damien calling her from behind.'What does he want now?'Squeezing her eyes shut, she exhaled a deep breath to get a grip of herself. Putting up a cold masque, she slowly turned around only to confront the same pair of steel eyes that had divested her peace since yesterday.Damien’s heart skipped a beat when looked into her blue eyes that were staring at him with confusion. He quickly looked away precluding himself from drowning in them.Harrumphing, he handed her the envelope and spoke, "Here, take this."Emmaline frowned, "But Sir-""Yeah, I know. You don't want to work here but I don't want to lose an asset of my company." He replied in an earnest tone taking her off guard.Raking his fingers through his jet-black hair, Damien took a deep breath before speaking, "Look, I know I crossed my line. I am sorry Emma but the truth is that it was a test."Emmaline was still confused, "A test? For what?"He let out a sigh, "Yeah I know that
"Excellent, Ms. Dawson. You are the perfect candidate for this job. I think we should now discuss your salary."Mr. Taylor, CEO of Brook Corporation spoke to Emmaline who passed him a soft smile and nodded.Finally, the burden was lifted off her shoulders. She bagged the job and was unencumbered by Damien Knight and his sinister schemes. Taylor was highly impressed by her qualifications and flair. Without much delay, he rejected the other candidates who were in the queue and selected Emmaline as she upstaged them.Emmaline knew the results beforehand. She had worked in such a prestigious company, Knight Corporation before, whose name itself is enough to put golden feathers in one's cap. She knew there was no reason for her rejection. It wasn't her overconfidence but rather her belief in herself and her education.Emmaline then looked at Taylor and spoke, "Yes Sir, I would like to-"The ringing of the telephone interrupted her. Excusing himself, Taylor picked up the receiver and answer
"Enjoyed your jaunt to New York or there are still some places left?"Damien rasped and looked at Emmaline who was silently fuming. His mordant tone was enough to char her. She curled her fingers in a tight fist, her nails carved crescent-shaped blood moons on her palms.‘The cheek of this man.’‘He isn’t even afraid of getting caught rather is shamelessly admitting that it was all his deeds.’Incensed, Emmaline jumped to her feet and pushed Damien back, “Making fun of someone’s plight? Is this the propriety of such a high-profile man like you?” She spoke in an acrimonious tone but Damien continued smirking. He was enjoying her fuming like an inferno.“Well, my propriety advised me to help a poor teen who has been left out in the cold because she burnt her bridges by squandering all her money, kicked her esteemed job, and is now begging on the streets to earn a few bucks.”His words added insult to her injury. Emmaline swatted her hands that were holding the umbrella and spat, “So, I
Emma’s P.O.V.FrustrationAngerAndSheer hatred.That’s all I was feeling at the moment for the man who snatched everything from me.Its’ been two days and I am still jobless. I have been rejected by nearly every company in New York and I don’t know what to do anymore. Depressed, I unwillingly opted for companies other than my forte but none of them selected me, scratch that they didn’t even let me enter their premises. Still, I didn’t stop there, I went to elementary schools, restaurants, clubs, bars, and cafes, whichever would help me feed my empty stomach but just by hearing my name, they kicked me out. Today’s the last day and I am still mapping New York cause I don’t know what my future beholds.The flash on the screen of my cellphone made me dazzled. I checked the notification.“Can’t wait to see you again. Counting minutes feels like centuries, love. Do wait for me, my Princess. I will be the one whom you will see tomorrow first and maybe would become the last person whom you’
