“It was not an accident,”
Ariella heard the police telling their school’s principal. The police had arrived within ten minutes at the scene and they were taking away Professor Jace’s body for investigation. His family had also arrived here and watching their state, Ariella felt her heart had started turning more and more heavy. More tears filled her eyes when she saw Professor Jace’s wife, son and daughter crying their hearts out while holding onto his dead body. It was becoming impossible to hold them back for the police. That scenario was looking extremely heart-drenching.
“We have found severe bruises all over his body. We are suspecting that someone might have beaten him really badly and then threw him from the terrace,”
From a distance, Ariella continued to hear everything the head of the police officer was informing their principal.
“We have found this bracelet in his hold too and we are sure that it belongs to that person who has killed Mr Jace Frainly,” Ariella saw the officer showing that bracelet of silver beads to the principal which she had also seen in Professor Jace’s hold and from that moment, all of this had started petrifying her more because she knew to whom that bracelet belonged but she didn’t know how to tell anyone regarding this, especially when she was not sure that whether her doubt was right or not. She could not put that terrifying blame on someone so easily. What if she was thinking wrong? What if it was just a coincidence? But deep down, she could feel that it was everything but a coincidence. That bracelet belonged to him.
“We want to know did Mr Frainly have some kind of argument with some staff or student of your school today?” the officer’s word froze Ariella completely.
“Like did he have some heated up encounter with someone in his class or in school today?”
Ariella’s blood ran cold when she heard the police officer asking that thing to the principal. Heated up argument? Yes, Professor Jace had that angry encounter with her today in his class but how could this even make sense? She had left from there without even saying anything to him and how? What exactly had happened when she left from there? Did Professor Jace have any kind of fight with someone but why would someone go to this extent? And then that bracelet? Where all of this was heading to?
Ariella’s head got occupied by all those questions when suddenly she remembered something. That bandage on his chest. She hurriedly unzipped her school bag and took out that letter from it.
Unfolding that letter, she read it again.
‘I LOVE YOU, ELLA…..’
Her entire existence shivered when she read those words which were written with blood on that paper. Now everything had started making sense to her. That bandage on his chest. This letter, which was written in blood. That bracelet on his wrist with the initial E and now this bracelet in the hold of Professor Jace. Now every single thing had started falling back to a rational track which widened her eyes in shock. It was him who wrote these letters to her. It was him who killed professor Jace because he scolded and humiliated her in front of the entire class. He probably must have kept his eyes on her all the time, that was why he reached outside that bathroom today when no one was present there around her. That was why he gave his shirt to her and that must be the reason he got to know about Professor Jace’s getting angry at her and that was why he took his life. The tears in Ariella’s eyes turned vigorous.
Tilting her head, she looked at Professor Jace’s family who were looking like they had lost their everything and then she trailed her glossy eyes towards Professor Jace’s dead body. It had somehow happened just because of her. She should have informed her parents the very day she started receiving those letters. If she would have taken the necessary step on time against all of this then that sick minded person would have never succeeded in taking a life just because of her. If she would have never neglected this situation so much then Professor might have been alive today. His children wouldn’t have to lose their father, a wife wouldn’t have to lose her husband ... .if she would have acted on time against that sick monster.
“What are you doing here?” That voice took Ariella out of her thoughts. She turned her head and saw one of the police officers coming towards her.
“Your principal has told every student to gather in the main hall and then what are you doing here, Ms.?” she heard the officer asking her. She hurriedly wiped her eyes and the police noticed her extremely anxious and terrified demeanour.
“Go to the hall. Your friends must be there,” the officer said to her, believing that this situation had traumatised the poor girl which was quite understandable to him. Any student could feel like this after seeing what had just happened to their professor until and unless that student knew how it had happened or who had done that to their professor.
Ariella nodded at him and then turned around. That police officer saw her walking away but he noticed her legs and hands were shaking a bit. She was looking extremely affected by this situation as compared to the other students.
Ariella was walking towards the main hall with her quivering legs because what she had just discovered, it had started ruining, both her physical and mental health. She was feeling like screaming her heart out or else she would lose it completely. She was walking on that corridor where no one was present as everyone had already gone to the main hall where she was also heading to but suddenly a shadow fell over her which made her take her eyes upward and Ariella’s body froze when she saw him there on the upper floor. He was going somewhere.
Without thinking about anything further, she decided to confront him before she would tell about all of this to her parents and the police because a part inside her heart was telling her to listen to his side of the story too before she would reach any conclusions as she was still not hundred percent sure that the theory she had made inside her regarding all of this was the truth or not and the only was to find out about it was to confront him. But she was not sure how safe it would be for her to meet him. What if he did something to her? That thought made Ariella take her step back until she roamed her eyes around her surroundings and that was where she took her steps forward and climbed those stairs with her pounding chest and trembling steps.
Ariella reached that floor where she had seen him. Slowly and slowly, she took her steps forward while wandering her eyes everywhere around her. This floor was looking dangerously silent and it was scaring her more and more. Ariella continued to walk and noticed that all the classrooms’ doors on that floor were locked from outside except for that one specific classroom.
Swallowing hard, she strode towards that classroom. Turning her head around, she looked at her behind and then placing her palm over chest, she slowly turned towards that classroom and pushed open its door slowly.
The door opened with a noise of a creak which made her gulp. Clutching her chest, she stepped inside that classroom while scanning everything around her. Words were not enough to describe how terrified she was feeling in that moment. Ariella searched for him everywhere in that classroom but when she could find him there, she turned around to leave but her blood ran cold when she found him standing in front of her. His placidly calm turquoise eyes were already on her, making Ariella immediately take her steps back in pure terror.
“Were you looking for me?” his cavernous throaty voice numbed her heart. Ariella clenched her palms. The tears in her eyes turned aggressive.
“Y…you are h….him….?” That was the only thing which she could manage to say in her stuttering voice. She saw him tilting his head a bit at her question before he shoved his hands inside his pant’s pocket and then he started taking his steps in her direction, numbing her soul.
Ariella tried to back away. She started taking her steps back with every step of his coming closer to her. Terror engulfed her. Her tears turned more harsh and aggressive, especially when she saw him reaching her. Ariella tried to take another step back but her feet twisted. She saw about to fall when she felt him wrapping his arm around her and gently pulling her closer to him. Ariella looked at him, horrified, unable to do anything, even when he pushed his face closer to her ear.
“It has always been me, Ella…..” every inch of her existence froze when she heard him calling her by that name. So, it was him. It had always been him.
“Papa….papa….papa…” Kieran turned around and saw his 10 years old daughter, Arien and his 5 years old son, Keyaan, running towards him. They both immediately hugged his legs which made Kieran sigh. Crouching down, he looked at his children who were looking extremely nervous.“Now what have you both done?” He asked them to which the kids swallowed and looked at each other.“We didn't do it intentionally, papa,” Arien uttered.“Yes, papa. Sissy is not lying. We didn't break it intentionally,” his 5 year old agreed with his 10 year old sister which made Kieran aware that now they both had broken something, so their mumma would be here at any second.“ARIEN SINCLAIZ and KEYAAN SINCLAIZ ….” Ariella's roaring voice echoed which widened the kids eyes. They immediately hid behind their father, making Kieran stand up on his feet. Even Dawson and Verena entered that hall, along with a furious Ariella.“Arien….Keyaan come here,” Ariella shouted, seeing them hiding behind their father. Kieran sw
Tightly clutching his shivering hands, Kieran was moving back and forth in front of the operation theatre inside that hospital where Ariella had been admitted for her premature delivery. Her cesarean section was going inside that operation theatre for almost an hour now and with every passing second, Kieran was feeling like his heart would about to stop beating, both in terror and nervousness. He had been personally taking care of her 24×7 since her third trimester had begun. He had even taken his off from his work and only went there when something urgent came up and couldn't be done without his presence in office. This morning, when he was helping her in taking a bath, her contractions started and her water broke suddenly even though it was just the beginning of her 9th month, so he hurriedly took her to the hospital and there the doctors immediately admitted her to the operation theatre, notifying him that her condition was critical and serious. His hands were vigorously shivering
Under that beautiful gleaming sky where birds were chirping, sweet bells were ringing, a gentle sir was blowing while the beautiful flower and their petals were scattered all around, the huge door opened, revealing his only dream to his turquoise eyes who was dressed up in that beautiful ivory wedding gown which was enhancing her allure even more. A long veil was covering her, turning those restless eyes more desperate to see his dream. That dream which that 19 years old teenager had had since the day he had seen her for the very first time. The dream of seeing his Ella dressed up as his bride and finally that dream of that 19 years old teenager was going to be embedded in the eyes of this 33 years old man who was watching his Ella walking on that altar as his bride and was coming closer to him to become his wife, his life partner, his better half, his forever, his eternity.A smile formed on his face when his eyes trailed towards their little life who was walking beside her mother as
Their mouths were tenderly devouring each other while their arms were wrapped around their bodies under that water. Their tongues were tangling with each other in a beautifully passionate manner, rising up the temperature around them, even when the water was cold.Ariella tangled her fingers in his hair when she felt him untying the strings of her panties and then he retracted them out of her body, leaving her lower body stark naked under the water. She pulled back from their kiss when she felt his palm cupping her core and started rubbing her down there. Tilting her head, she exhaled a heavy breath as he shoved his middle finger inside her and started pumping it in and out of her wet channel. Ariella nibbled on her lower lip in order to hold back her moans of pleasure whereas he started licking her jaw, neck and cleavage all the while inserting one more finger inside her. Ariella pulled onto his hair, feeling her body melting into that bliss he was bringing to her. Kieran pulled do
After Seth walked out of the hall, Ariella saw Kieran following Seth which bewildered and worried her a bit, so she chose to follow both the men and got out of the hall where she saw Kieran and Seth standing beside Seth's car and talking to each other. She caught those firm reactions on their faces, which turned her more eager to know what they both were conversing about.Unable to control her curiosity, Ariella stepped out of the house and stepped a little closer to them but her feet froze when she heard those words of Seth's.“Eldric is out of jail and he had contacted me last week to know about Ariella and your whereabouts which I didn't give him,” Her blood ran cold. Her entire body went numb just at the mention of that name. Eldric Kohler. The person who had turned out to be more terrifying than her worst nightmare because he had turned her life into a living and horrible nightmare with his inhumanity and brutality. He was out of jail? He was roaming free now?“And I think, his
“Mr Seth Kayzon,” the staff member’s reply startled everyone, especially Ariella and her mother who got appalled too after knowing Seth was there to meet them but why? Why after such a long time and this time with what intentions?Ariella trailed her eyes and looked towards her mother where she found her eyes already on her. They communicated through the silence of their gazes until Dawson sighed and then turned around to look at Ariella's mother and waited to know her answer regarding this.Verena swallowed before slowly nodding at Dawson in approval which made him trail his eyes towards Ariella's direction to know about her approval and she also wagged her head at him in her reply. After that, Dawson looked at Kieran and he also approved of it. All of their consents were necessary regarding this matter because Seth was a very big part of their past and that part had never been good in any way, especially for Ariella and her mother, Verena.“Tell the security guards to check him thor
