"Ethan try to understand we are over now.I am married to someone else and this is the reality you should accept.Just stop this and try to move on.I hope you will find a better soul than me.We can't be together again."I looked into his painful eyes begging silently for me to swallow back my words.
I yelped in pain as he pulled me harshly towards him making our chests bumped.This is not my Ethan.His eyes were dripping anger and madness like a psychopath.
"Move on,are you serious?I have been trying to reach you by all possible means since the day,your so called wedding's news was clouding the media.Do you even realise how I felt in the moment I saw the picture of that motherf*cker Davian and you exchanging your vows.I lost my world as someone cut through my heart but I wanted to meet you and ask you the reason behind your -"His voice broke as he shook his head to hide his vulnerable state from me.
[ Emerald ]"Damien stop you have my swear."And he paused in the middle air.He glared at a wincing Ethan who almostlost his senses,his face battered by the hard blows from Damien,his mouth spat blood whenever he coughed.My heart shattered into zillion of pieces.The man with whom I had once woven my dream future with him but he just not only raided my body but also assassinated my soul.Damien tore his eyes from him not before spitting with disgust.His dark icy eyes melt as soon as they landed on me.I saw traces of hurt and remorse into those swirls of ocean.He took small steps where I slumped down on thr floor,sobbing hysterically on Diandra's chest while Dustin stood in a corner,his face held the same grimace.Damien leaned on his knees to match my level.His deep breaths fell on my shoulders."He will rot in hell that's my promis
[ Author's pov ]Emerald was walking back to her room to ignore unwanted attention from her sister in law whose prying eyes were fixed on her only."I heard what happened last night."Emerald's legs stopped in her tracks.She hated it specially coming from a person she really not wished to indulge in a conversation."You can sit here and enjoy your coffee.I won't bite I swear."Surprisingly,her voice was coated in sweetness much for Emerald to digest."Its nice of you Dalliah but I would be fine in my room."She tried to cut their forced conversation as quickly as possible."Come on sister in law."Dalliah patted the space beside her.Having no other choice,she unwillingly changed her path to the living room.Dalliah passed her a broad smile showing her perfect set of white teeth.Emerald seated on the farthest corner from Dall
[ Emerald ]I had my dinner all alone.Its not like I craved for a company in devil's abode but life wasn't like this before my marriage.I used to have dinner time with Maa Papa and Courtney.Speaking of Courtney,my soul sister and best friend,she has been avoiding me.Yesterday when I tried her number,she didn't answer then I texted her to invite for our outing but received a brief reply containing a single sentence that stated she was out of city.My intuition alarmed me there was something off with her.After putting my plate in the sink,I decided to retire back in my room.D indra informed me that she will come late perhaps around ten so having no mood to encounter Davian or a Dalliah who must be planning a revenge on me,I grabbed a book titled "Arms and The Man" from Davian's personal library,I made my way to my room."I thought I married a gold digger tha
[ Emerald ]I could here many voices in the background.I felt them very familiar but couldn't differentiate,to whom they belong.All around me was pitch black,no single ray of light.I knew I was in my own bed by their soft feeling on my back and my lavender shampoo fragrance deeply absorbed by the pillows but why couldn't I move my body?I realized in the next moment that I had my eyes closed and I was having a great difficulty in opening them.Last I could recall Davian's derogatory interrogation and his inappropriate recreation of my assault and gradually my body gave up.Struggling,I tried to open my eyes but they seemed to be glued together. Gathering all my strength I finally move my eye lids and welcomed the filtered rays of the sun.I cursed my bold act and shut them again.It was too much for my lazy eyes which had been resting for several hours.After a couple of minutes,I slowly adju
[ Emerald ]"It is always easy when you share your pain."Damien said after a long silence.Thus I realised,he was now sitting on the opposite chair."I am not one of a kind you know and you claim to read me like an open book."I took another sip of my capaccino.He hummed in response.His eyes were fixed on me never blinking for even for once."How are you belle?"He asked in a very low voice."Fi...fine."I avoided matching his judgemental gaze."You're one of a worse lier."He snatched my cup as I was about to devour another sip of my favorite beverage.My cheeks turned red as my lies caught by him.He can actually reads me.I should be conscious around him."Thank you."I said with gratitude for this man who behaved quite opposite from Ethan and Davian."I have done the same thing for any girl but-"He p
[ Emerald ]I tapped my feet impatiently on the floor waiting for my once-upon-a-time best friend to open the door of her apartment.Believe me,I have been waiting at her door for over ten minutes,rang the bell four times.What was taking her so long to open a fucking door?"Damm where are you Courtney?I swear if you won't open the door in next five seconds,I'll break it.Remember,I am a black belt."I barked on the wooden door in a hope,she would hear me.OneTwoThreeFourFiveSixSeve-And finally the door creaked open after ages revealing my best friend's 'once in a blue moon' face."I thought my best friend used to live here but who are you Ms?The new resident?"I shot daggers in her directio
[ Emerald ]"How do you know abou.. about the incident?"I felt sour in tongue."Eme..I..I.. actually."She opened her mouth to say something but closed it having nothing to say.I was stuck in a whirlpool of doubts where my relationships were put on questions."Court how do you know it when I never shared it with you and you have not met the other five people who are witness of the night."I asked her."Umm I..gu..guessed."She stole her gaze from me.It was clearly evident on her face that she was lying."Don't lie Courtney because I won't believe in your lame excuses.So next you speak,it must be the truth."I warned her in a very low whisper.She licked her lips,her face turned as white as a lifeless ghost.What was cooking in her mind?In a corner of my heart,I knew whatever she will say,it has the power to destroy my obvilio
[ Author's pov ] Emerald craddled the glass of whisky in her hands,cuddling cozily in the single sofa.She stared all around her surroundings.A private room on the top of a night club. So much happened since her marriage and it was another addition in her the tragedies of her life. Courtney is a closed chapter now. Emerald was immensely grateful for Damien's friendly courtesy who welcomed him when her cab halted in the pavement of his club of coarse through back entrance. He didn't ask her anything and she was pleased.She barely held her tears back,if he pressed her to vent out her sorrows,she would had broken into heart clenching cries. "Should I drop you at your place?"Damien broke the ice between them after a long pause of an hour or so,he observed her expressions changing swifter than possible.She was trying to compose herself ans act str
