View MoreEVE'S POV:-
They kicked me out of the Master's castle. They said I am the death. That is why I do not deserve to be inside of that castle. I was wearing nothing but a thin lacy nighty that reached my upper thigh. It was barely covering my bottom.
The chilly air and falling snow made me think of my end. I was shivering with both the icy cold weather and the horrific darkness outside. I did not know why but I was always afraid of the dark. I even hated black color.
I wrapped my arms around my body to protect myself from the chilly weather. I stood up again and knocked at the door. I did not have any more energy left in my body. "Please, for the love of Lord Adrian Cerberus, open the door. I will freeze to death out here." I begged them to open the door but instead, I heard them laughing at my misery.
"What are you doing outside of the castle? Did I not tell you to stay inside and not to go out without my permission?" My heart sank in the pit of my stomach as I heard his voice again. I started sobbing because I did not know what else to do. It was not my fault.
"Answer me!" He yelled at me and I jumped in fear. I turned around only to see his angry face and his red glowing eyes.
"It is not my fault. I did as you had ordered me Master. They dragged me from my bed and pushed me out." I replied to him between my sobs and hiccups.
"They did what? Since how long you have been out here?" He asked me in a worried tone. His face softened a bit as he dropped everything he had in his hands. He quickly stripped off his coat then he quickly covered my almost frozen body with his warm coat. I moaned as the coat covered half of my body.
"I do not know how long it has been. I am starting to feel numb." I replied to him. I suddenly started to feel heavy headed. My head was spinning and my body suddenly felt numb. I fell on the ground but before my head would have hit the ground, the Master grabbed me by my waist. He pulled me up into his arms and carried me bridal style. That was all I saw before the darkness engulfed me.
I opened my eyes again and found myself lying into someone else's bed. It was not even my room. I looked around and found the Master lying beside me. He had one of his arms wrapped around my waist. My heart started jumping inside my rib cage as his breath faned upon my face. His minty breath awoke a funny feeling inside the pit of my stomach. I was more like wrapped around his body. I was hugging his tall and strong body tightly.
------------------ -------------------- ----------------
I gulped hard and started stepping backwards. Master Adrian did not stop there. He kept walking towards me. That funny feeling inside my stomach awoke again. This time, I also felt something throbbing between my legs. My breaths were uneven and my heart was like it would jumped out of my chest.
Master Adrian sniffed the air once then he inhaled as deeply as he could. "Ah! My dirty little Eve is wet down there. I can smell your scent. You are more than wet right now." He said in a tone that made me shiver. Not in fear, not because of the sorrow but because of something else.
"Desires, that's your desires you are feeling right now, Eve. Now stop this game and come to me." He said on a seductive tone. He was right. It was my desires. They were pooling out of my center. Before I could think of anything, my back hit the study table inside of the room.
In a blink of an eye, Master Adrian was standing in front of me. My breath hitched as he leaned in. He grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled it. His action did not hurt me at all. He looked into my eyes with a smirk that screamed his victory loudly.
He crashed his lips on mine and I closed my eyes. It was like a dream come true. I always wanted to do all that with him. But I never got that chance. After that night, no one was allowed to even look at me. Master Adrian made it clear that if anyone would do anything to hurt me, he would be facing Master Adrian himself.
I moaned in his mouth as he pushed his tongue inside my mouth. His tongue caressed my tongue in a most loving way. It felt like he was trying to tell me that I was loved. Love! Something that I had never witnessed in my whole life. Even my own mother who had carried me for nine months then given me birth. Even my mother hated me and tried to kill me many times.
My lungs started burning due to the lack of oxygen but I did not want him to stop. He pulled away and I pouted. I did gasped loudly for air, but I still did not want him to stop. It felt magical. He chuckled and shook his head. He brushed his knuckles over my cheek and his other hand was cupping the back of my neck.
"Why do you worry? I will not stop caring and loving you, ever. I promise you, Eve." He said and my eyes filled with salty water. I grabbed his hand and kissed his palm. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him as tightly as I could. He pulled me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He was rubbing my back like I was a baby.
"I know you have promised me. But it feels like I am in a dream that will not last longer. It feels like this lovely dream will soon be over. And I will wake up again in that nightmare." I whispered softly into his ear and he chuckled. I did not know why he chuckled but it again tickled the inside of my stomach.
The next morning, I woke up feeling like I was walking on clouds. Leo was still asleep beside me, a peaceful expression on his face.I gently got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom to wash up, after which I moved to the kitchen to make some coffee. As I waited for the brew to finish, I stared out the window, feeling grateful and at peace.Leo came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist."Good morning," he whispered, his voice sending shivers down my spine.I turned around, smiling."Good morning," I replied, leaning in for a kiss.“Would have loved to shower with you.” He told me as he breathed my scent in. I laughed and pecked his lips.“Another time.” I said as he nodded.As we sipped our coffee together and munched on the breakfast made by the chef, I knew that this was just the beginning of our happily ever after.I could hardly believe it myself, but the moment felt too big to keep to myself. The ring was still sparkling on my finger, and I couldn’t wait to tell P
As we pulled away from the kiss, I gazed up at Leo, feeling like I was floating in the air. He smiled back at me, his eyes shining with happiness."We should celebrate," he said, his voice filled with excitement, after the waiters applauded and wished us well.I nodded, still feeling dazed. "Yes, we should". Over a bottle of wine and a delicious meal, we talked about our future, our dreams, and our plans.As the night wore on, I felt like I was getting to know Leo all over again. He was still the same kind, caring, and thoughtful person I had fallen in love with, but now he was also my fiancé.After dinner, we walked along the river, enjoying the cool night air and the sound of the water. Leo put his arm around me, pulling me close, and I felt like I was home.As we stood there, looking out at the city lights, Leo turned to me with a serious expression."Sophia, I promise you, I will always be here for you," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I will always support you, always
And in the midst of it all, Leo and I were planning our next step. Together. By the next week, most of my items had been moved to his place.The soft hum of the car's engine was the only sound filling the space as Leo drove. His hand rested gently on mine, his thumb tracing the soft skin of my hand absentmindedly.Leo glanced over at me as he drove into his driveway, his eyes soft but full of concern. "Are you okay?" he asked quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.I smiled, though it felt fragile, a little shaky. "I’m fine. I promise."His eyes didn’t leave me, as if searching for a hint of doubt in my words. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right?”I nodded and smiled at his kindness. "I know. It's just... sometimes the past feels heavy. I don’t know if I’m ready to let it all go yet." I turned my face toward the window, watching the world pass by. "But... you make it easier. You make me feel lighter."Leo reached over and brushed his thumb across my cheek. "You don’t
The day had been quiet, the kind of peaceful where your thoughts have a chance to settle and take root.Leo and I had spent most of the afternoon together, quietly enjoying each other’s company. A conversation had been brewing in my mind for some time now. It wasn’t something I’d planned to bring up, but it felt like the right moment.I closed my novel and turned to Leo, catching him looking at me with that familiar, soft smile—the one that always made my heart skip a beat. But today, there was something else in his eyes, an unspoken question."So," I began, my voice a little tentative. "I’ve been thinking a lot about… well, everything." I took a deep breath, steadying myself. "About us, and the future."He shifted slightly after dropping his phone, turning to face me fully. "I’ve been thinking about that, too. What’s on your mind?"I hesitated before speaking again. "I think it’s time we talked about moving in together."Leo raised an eyebrow, a smile tugging at his lips, but there w
“Grace told me she named you Sophia, like royalty. I wanted you to bear the family’s name, but Grace refused. She chose to take you as hers. To make sure you never question your identity. I didn’t think it was possible, Gregory didn’t like the idea of being a father before the wedding. Somehow, we all chose to love you.” He continued as he touched my hair.“I would have loved to meet her.” I told him as I smiled warmly at him.“You have her hair and freckles. Grace had a curly head just like me and Thalia and her mom, had straight brown hair.” He blurted out as I tucked my hair behind my ears, feeling self-conscious.“Why don’t I remember you then?” I asked in confusion.“Because I stopped coming when you were still little.” He replied.“Why?” I asked.“Grace, relocated and kept you hidden. We had a fallout. I hated Gregory’s gambling addiction. I hated how useless he was when Grace was pregnant with Stan…I was scared that I'd lose you or Grace, and it would be too late for me to do a
“I don’t understand.” I said as I hurriedly tried to match his pace. His long legs made his strides difficult to follow.“That’s why I’m here.” He said to me as he abruptly stopped. I halted just in time before I could crash into his back.I sighed and frowned at the underlying hero complex I perceived from him.“Why are we here?” I asked him softly.He pointed to the tomb stones at our front.“Thalia Maxwell and… Desmond Maxwell.” I read out loud, before I turned to him in confusion.“These are your parents.” He stated as I stared in disbelief at the graves before me.“How?” I asked with a whisper as I gripped my necklace tightly.“Grace was your aunt… not your mother. Albeit, she did everything a mother should. She was good at that-proving a point.” He told me.“What point?” I asked.“You see, your mother, Thalia was a free spirit…never sat at one place for long. She loved adventures, and it wasn’t a surprise, when she told me, she had met a man and fallen in love with him.” He said
