Juliette's point of view... "I finally found you..." Though I was shocked, I sniffed out the breath that I had been holding in as I heard it and turned around to find my dear bestie, Scarlett standing right behind me. "Scar..." I gave her a quick hug and she almost dragged me straight to a bench in the nearby park. Our common meeting place. Not a secret but exclusive. "What were you doing here? Why do you look so...ugh..." I wasn't settled there yet and she grabbed my arms forcefully and snorted. We couldn't talk in the morning. "Tell me the truth, Jul. I know something is off about you and your Mom. She didn't look good either" she pressed and I instantly grabbed her shoulder, "Didn't look good, what happened to her? Is she alright? Did you see Anna?" I wasn't holding it in at all, all my emotions were quite clear in my eyes, Scarlett's eyebrows raised and she glared at me dubiously. "So... it was indeed true that something was off with you guys, huh?" I swallowed hard, caught
Juliette's point of view... Scarlett gave me a few more tips and notes about how to annoy a man according to her experiences with her brother because single souls like us don't have the experience to annoy a man as we barely know anyone other than her brother. We got out of the park and she left for her extra classes and I strode back to the gate I was standing before. Looking at that, only one thing was roaming in my mind, do I have a chance to see Mom again? Can I enter my house? Just once...! I just wanted to see her once, though it may be from a distance. I will be content with just seeing her from a distance. Taking a deep breath, I was about to enter the gate but halted myself as a voice came disturbing my peace, from behind me. "I told you not to come here. Where do you think you are stepping in? Where were you all this time?" I turned around gritting my teeth to face the man ordering me like I was his possession. How could he? Richard was standing behind me with his e
Richard's point of view... Ever since I signed the certificate, I have been thinking about the same thing. No matter how I try to distract myself, it clings back to the same point How am I going to live with that girl alone without even touching her? I tried to convince Mom to let her stay in her room but Nancy didn't want Juliette to stay there, because she didn't want to hurt Anna anymore. Everything was now a mess until Anna comes and clarifies her part. She said she needed time and I respected her decision but her sister is going to be a tough nut to crack. Juliette is arrogant, rude, and headstrong but those won't bother me at all. The main thing that froze my mind every time I looked at her was that...she was so beautiful with a very attractive and sexy body. Super sexy...! Uncontrollably gorgeous and it's the only truth that was disturbing me. In addition to that, she never fails to find ways to entice me. The moment we stepped inside my little house, I could only smell
Richard's point of view... Alissa!! "Alissa...!" I couldn't help but clamor in shock. Alissa Grey...! She was with me at the same university in New York. My classmate and every time clinging friend for not less than four years. Why is she here with them? "Hi... Aa...Richard" She didn't dare say a word more but hung her head looking everywhere but at me. Hesitation is evident in her eyes and awkwardness is written on her face. She was looking like a student getting caught cheating on the exam. Alissa never left me alone, she had been throwing herself on me for all those four years, we were in New York. I made it clear to her that I didn't like her that way but she was persistent until I got back. Was that just a coincidence? I thought that we were good friends at least. "What are you doing here?" I asked and instead of Alissa, Mom stood up introducing her more formally to me. There was a hint of accomplishment in Mom's eyes. She wanted me to know everything and meet them pers
Author's point of view... Both of them fell into silence but the shocking look on her face couldn't be neglected. Richard had already pinned Juliette on the wall and she struggled to set herself free but all her struggles were gone in vain. When she finally realized the bulge on her legs and could think of what had just happened, she was already pressed against his chest. His hot burning body had made her blush. "What... What are... are you doing? Let go of me" she said as she felt everything around her become a bit inappropriate. All she thought was Richard getting angry at her and scolding her for all she did. But this was so unexpected.Wasn't he angry with her? Is this the way to show his anger? It was so different from what she had imagined and heard. They were sticking so close together. Her frozen body and his hot burning body were like the positive and negative terminals reacting to each other while producing electric currents running wild in their bodies. Richard looked
Author's point of view... Richard walked over to her still hesitant, his every step filled with regret, and tried to call her but she was so faint asleep that she didn't respond to him despite him calling her several times. She had already changed into her pajamas and on top of that, she even wore a thick hoodie to hide herself from his gaze. He felt horrible. He didn't want to scare her more but he couldn't let her sleep there under the table the whole night, could he? Left with no other choice he scooped her into his arms slowly, so gently leaning her on his broad shoulders and made her sleep on her bed. While laying her down, he felt sympathy for the little girl and slightly stroked her hair behind her ears. Though he knew he shouldn't, he couldn't help himself from kissing her forehead slightly. "I..." he whispered as he caressed her reddened cheek, "I am sorry...strawberry" he mumbled in a low voice but Juliette frowned her eyebrows a little in her slumber as if she had hear
Author's point of view... "Why did you call me here?" the girl sitting next to Richard asked in a hurry. The urge was evident in her tone. She was wearing just a normal T-shirt and a pair of jeans but her head and face were completely covered with a dark scarf. Richard took a deep breath before he made himself talk. "Anna," he began, "you need to stop this, please. Just go talk to your mother" Anna was perplexed and she became uneasy the moment she heard him saying that. "No...! No way Richard. It's not the right time." she instantly smacked off the idea of meeting her mother, "I still need some more time to tell her everything. She can't take it if I do it right away" Anna hung her head down as she recalled her mother's face when Anna refused to get engaged. Her Mom was so worried that she almost stopped breathing. "I can't..." she repeated in a haze. Richard's eyes darkened, right from the beginning, he had been trying to persuade her to tell everything and she had been repeat
Juliette's point of view... "Logan" I was intrigued by an unexpected entry, Logan, Mr. Thompson's Son. Why is he here? I remember he was a passed-out student of our school, a super senior to us but why was he here today? He walked slowly and stood before me with his hand raised a little like a big brother guarding against his sister, his eyes fixated on the figure lying on the ground. Very angrily. He is tall and has a nice personality just like his father. It was indeed weird but I felt protected for some reason. Danny was infuriated by the punch he just received and the moment he got back on his foot, he was ready to throw one at Logan but Logan instantly grabbed Danny's fist and twisted it behind him effortlessly as if dealing with a kitten. At that moment I heard cheers from around and noticed how mannish Logan was. Danny was popular among all the schoolgirls and was like an idol for the entire sports group yet Logan's appearance had shrunk his demeanor to nil. No wonder
