Jane stirred as a loud sound disturbed her sleep. The sunlight already lightened up the room, invading the curtains of the glass windows. She squinted her eyes and placed her hands in the front to protect her eyes from the sharp sunlight. "Oh! It's morning already! But where was the noise coming from?" Turning to the other side to find the source she saw her cell phone, kept on the table. "Oh, Shit! It's my phone."Jane picked up the phone hurriedly."Hello." She received the call." Well good morning to you too princess. Rise and shine." Isabella said dramatically. Jane smiled, listening to her. " Have you checked your inbox? We don't have classes today. So what's your plan today?" Isabella asked, excited." No, I haven't yet. What happened suddenly?" Jane asked, frowning." I don't know. There are some unavoidable reasons. That's what they said. We got only one holiday. Be happy, girl." Isabella complained." Umm yeah you are right. I don't really have any plans. Auntie was a
" Are you a kid too?" Jane stopped and turned to face him, giving him a questioning look. " I only told the kids to leave. Why are you leaving darling? Come here. I need to talk to you". Jane halted in her place with a blank face and waited for him to speak further." How are you my feisty cat? It's been a couple of days since our last meeting." He said while walking towards her.Jane closed her eyes and dug her nails into her palm as the memory from that night again rushed to her mind. She wanted to avoid him at any cost. She was somehow afraid of what he might do to her again. But she refused to let him win." Stop giving me these stupid nicknames. Jane. That's my name and you are allowed to call me only that." She let her words out clear and loud.Taking two large steps Adrian stood in front of her. " What if I don't? What will you do then huh, feisty cat?" He chuckled, deliberately putting more pressure on the last word to see her reaction. Leaning down he took a strand of h
Buttoning up his shirt Adrian ran his fingers through his hair and left the room. While descending the stairs he stopped halfway seeing the person at the front.Adrian looked at him with a blank face." Addy bro, Did you see sissy?" Leo asked him, still roaming his gaze around to get a glimpse of her.Adrian frowned listening to Leo. Sissy? Sister? Did he have a sister too? He didn't know that." Do you have a sister too?" He asked, confused." Oh! I mean Jane. We are childhood buddies but she is like my sister. Mom is searching for her but God knows where she is." Leo ended up giving him a detailed answer that he didn't ask for. But his mind was stuck at one word, sister.Adrian felt a sudden gush of relief hit him empting the burden of his chest. ' She is like a sister to him!' Adrian thought in his mind, delighted. All this time he kept blaming her for nothing. But how would he know that they didn't like each other romantically? Sister or not he didn't like how she was so c
" Are you sure you wanna bunk the last class?" Isabella asked Jane, raising her eyebrows. Since morning she could feel her friend's restlessness. She had a feeling that Jane was disturbed about something. There was no way this girl would miss a class willingly. But she kept insisting that nothing happened. " huh?! Oh. I... yeah. I gotta go. Aunt Mary wanted me home early. Bye Isabella. See you." Jane left hurriedly without giving any chance to Isabella to speak further.Clutching her backpack tightly she almost rushed out of the gate. She let out the breath that she was holding for so long. Even the gatekeeper was looking at her weirdly. Jane soon took some steps forward to make herself invisible from the building. It was all happening because of him. She couldn't believe she had to lie to everyone just because he wanted her to. Looking at the sky she couldn't help but envy the birds. How they were flying utilizing freedom to its fullest. She dreamed of that freedom. Only if she
Jane took a step back seeing his reaction. Adrian rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb and kept running his hands through his hair, unbothered. His calm composed state made her stomach churn. She wasn't sure if she was ready to face the upcoming storm yet. Whistling, Adrian started walking in her direction, reducing the gaps. To maintain the distance Jane kept going backward but Adrian didn't change his pace. His face was fixed on her. Suddenly her back hit a rigid structure. Turning back she saw a wood crafted wall abstaining her from taking any steps backward. Taking out the ring from her finger she threw it on the ground in frustration. In acute desperation of saving herself from his wrath, she bolted for the doorway of the house. Turning back she almost succeeded to close it but the door was jerked open from the outside. There stood the person she wanted to hide from. Panicking she ran towards the staircase but was pulled to his chest in a flash. As soon as she starte
Adrian left the house in fury. Banging hard with his fist on a nearby wall he hopped in the driver's seat and closed the door with a thud. The heavy engine harshly rambled as he sped away with his car. He couldn't trust his own self. Spending one more minute with her, he would have ended up hurting her again. But she brought it on herself. The girl was an ill mannered rebel. To date, he kept taking her disrespect lightly. He even found her tantrums cute. But now it was getting annoying. He needed to take her fully under his control before it's too late.He still couldn't comprehend how she could reject him. HIM! She kept telling him that he was proud and arrogant but in reality when she was the one. He planned so much for the evening but she had to ruin it all. Couldn't she appreciate the effort he was putting in?He just hoped she would soon realize his love. Otherwise, he had to use his twisted ways and surely she'd not like it.…………Samuel checked the time on his wristwatch wh
Brushing the hair for one last time Jane let it fall on both sides of her shoulders. Taking down the hairbrush on the dressing table she looked at her image in the mirror." Coming ". She bolted towards the door hearing the bell. "Wow, girl! Are you sure you are not the one performing.?" Isabella teased her while entering inside. " Shut up. Look at you too."Jane rolled her eyes. Both of them ended up laughing together. After that eventful day, Jane hardly left her room last week. She even missed her classes for the first two days. Today she had to go to Liam's school for their cultural program. Aria and Liam both were over the moon about theirperformance. She couldn't turn them down seeing their enthusiasm. Jane asked Isabella for once and she was more than ready to join them. It turned out she was in the same school and didn't want to miss the chance to relive their happening cultural fest."Let's go. Everyone's waiting." Both of them took the elevator to come to the ground flo
" Are you guys sure that you don't wanna go home now?" Jane again asked her friends, hoping that they would change their minds. " Yes, I am. And you are coming with us too." Isabella rolled her eyes. Jane looked at Ryan but he nodded his head, silently agreeing with his cousin." Bella is right. We three didn't hang out together for a long time. Please, Jane. Come with us. It will be my treat." Ryan tried to convince her with puppy eyes. " Now you should come with us. Ryan is a close-fisted guy. If he is giving treats by himself, it's no less than a miracle." Isabella teased him." You brat! Now I won't take you with us." Ryan pretended to be offended." No.. please please, I am sorry…" Isabella tried to sound genuine.Jane laughed silently seeing their antics. She had exactly the same relationship with Leo even if they weren't blood related. They had grown up together and knew each other forever. " Okay okay, I will go." Jane interfered in the middle." Really?" Both of the
