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
Juliette's point of view... I froze for a while as they pressed on me with their doubts. As I got back my senses, I pursed my lips and then gave them a better answer. I know this matter won't be hidden for do long because all the players on the ground have witnessed it and now or then they will recognize me. "I...I was in the restroom when I heard from the girls earlier" I answered her sheepishly. "Oh..." both of them shook their head agreeing and then Lissa added, "Andrew called Logan to train them all for some basketball match with those scary university boys" She sounded worried, "They said those university scoundrels provoked our boys to have a challenge and some of our school girls were involved in this too. Do you guys know who those girls are?" My jaw dropped in disbelief. I stared at Lissa for a few seconds before I got my consciousness back. It was an embarrassing encounter so I asked Lissa not to tell anyone about it and she didn't do it. As the sports team was not so fa
Juliette's point of view... It wasn't his fault...! I keep hearing those words in my mind a hundred times since Anna spoke them. Does that mean I misunderstood him? But how could I forgot how he treated me back then? Wait...! What am I thinking! Though he was not in fault about the property deeds, he did force me into this marriage and that is enough to a be a reason why I must hate him. I am just nineteen and I am already married to a old man like him. Does that make sense! I know he is handsome and I did have a crush on him but that doesn't mean I will be jumping excitedly that he married me. I don't give it a damn...! He spoiled my life. As I was standing behind the door, I have no idea why my rotten mind was making me recall those things that had happened yesterday. He was just an inch away from me and my whole body was stiffened. From that incident, I got to understand something so important. Crush is crush, but getting so close to a man is horrible. I was terrified yest
Juliette's point of view... "Juliette" he called my name and rasped loudly. I stopped where I was but didn't turn to face him. "I ordered dinner for us, eat something before you go to bed. I have something to do so I won't be getting back sooner" I didn't respond and he didn't wait for it either. He left after that, slamming the door slightly behind him. Finally, I exhaled the warm air that I had been holding inside and strode into my room. What work would he be having late at night? Spending time with his girl? Was that a date? I felt a pang of anger building up in my heart at the thought but soon I was able to dodge it successfully. Why should I be bothered about his affairs? Taking a bath and having the dinner he prepared, a good serving of cheese macaroni with bacon, I went to bed earlier but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. I can't believe I have been checking my phone every now and then just to see the time...! Why isn't he back yet? Why was I so dist
Juliette's point of view...As I reached the classroom, I saw a woman waiting at the door. She was talking to one of the boys from our class and surprisingly that boy pointed his finger towards me. I haven't seen her before. The way she was dressed, I thought she might be a teacher or someone from the office. I was quite surprised. Is she here for me?She looked at me and raised her eyebrows."Hello, Are you Miss Juliette?" she said as I approached her. She was indeed here for me. I nodded, "Yes, how may I help you?" she smiled hesitatingly, "Hi, I am Linda, admin office assistant" she introduced herself, "Let's talk in the office" I felt a bit uneasy because I never talked to anyone from the admin office before. Everything regarding my admission and my fees was taken care of by Mom or Anna. What does she want to talk about? We walked to the office and she settled in her desk while fetching some papers from the drawer. "Aa... Here" she extended a file toward me, "Miss Juliette,
