"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
[ Emerald ]After lots of teasing,laughing and talking about random stuffs we read about him over the media .He asked me for a walk along the small park.I happily agreed with his idea as I wanted to feel some fresh air.We started walking slowly over the damp grass.It soothed my aching feet as I walked barefoot so did he."Why you bring me here?"I stuttered looking nervously at him and then at the marvelous fountains."To spend a beautiful evening with my friend."He smiled sheepishly and forwarded his hand for me to take.I didn't budge him and placed my palm on his hand.We silently walked along the hitting waves."I used to walk with my Dad whenever he took me to the Central Park on every Sunday.He used to tell me of his own childhood at his grandmother's house and his notorious pranks on her grumpy brother."I remembered those days and smiled.
[ Davian ]I put my coat on the back of the leather chair and settled myself on the it.A smile curved on my lips finding my coffee and schedule .It means Olivia had come.This woman has not only proved herself a worthy employee also manages my office hours equally smoother.On her first week of doing job in my company.At least she is better than my useless wife and her friend that b*tch Courtney.She thought that she has capacity to tame my heart which actually doesn't exist.I clenched my fists in anger recalling the last night when denied me sex because she felt guilty of sabotaging her best friend.Now she can go to hell as well.Leaning on my leather chair,I remembered the first day,she started her job as my personal assistant."Impressive."I muttered taking a sip.I opened the file which contains biannual report of Knight Inc.'s Income and ex
[ Emerald ]"I can't believe you didn't tell them."Damien trailed behind me in our way out of the airport."I'll tell them once we check in our hotel Damien morever I don't think so they should have agreed if I told them".I dabbed my sweaty face to wipe off the humidity from my skin.This is the only thing I dislike about non frigid climate.My face now bare of any make up,it was long washed by excessive sweating."Davian knows?"He asked offering me a water bottle once we settled in the waiting VIP waiting lounge of the airport premises.We decided to reach at our destination in separate ways to avoid any scandal."Frankly it's none of his business what I do in my personal life as long as it doesn't effect his public reputation.Trust me he has least concern for me whether I am alive or rotting in a Sahara Desert."I told him.He only nodded his head in unders
[ Davian ]I directly strides to my room while Andy goes to the dining hall.I prefer a quick shower before the dinner in my old room of my grandparents' house.I was more than happy when my so called wife told me that she is going to England for some business purpose but somebody has to kill the mood and that somebody is my old man Darian Knight.Heading to my room,I slips out of my formals and fetch a forest green tee and black track pant.Knowing my parents well that they will make a fuss over something for sure,I already told Roger to be ready if the dinner turns out to a bust ,at least I can have a lavish meal at some restaurant.While combing my hairs,I have a very precise feeling that it isn't a sort of dinner but something is cooking in the old man 's mind but what..well for that I should reach there first.My myriad of thoughts come to a halt when one of our maid kn
[ Emerald ]Next morning my slumber broke with a sharp headache which caused after crying for hours.I tried to open my eyes but bright sunrays didn't help me ."Mon Chere you slept too much."I heard his soft voice near my head.After struggling for a couple of minutes my eye sight adjusted in the sun brighten room then on him who was looking at me with concern filled eyes."I am fine."I lied in a low tone."Well I can see that."He gave me an unbelievable look thus his full body flashed in front of me.I closed my eyes again due to the increasing pain in my head.It seems,I have to make an appointment with my doctor.I started experiencing severe migraine after the incident.With a long proper treatment they rarely strikes me but whenver I feel them,trust me that's hellish.The sound of the drawer opening brought me out of my
