ITALY

"Benz when are you going to the next bidding? You know you haven't gone to one since long . I haven't seen any new painting of "R. Cz." in your room . The last dated 6 months back. " Serene asked her brother who was busy thinking about the next attack.

"Soon Lily, I heard he has his exhibition in 7 days. This time it's in MAURITIUS. " He answered absent mindedly." WHAT!! MAURITI... " She couldn't complete as her brother scrutinized her face and she gulped.

He observed this change and asked her, " What's so shocking about it. What's going on in that little brain of yours?"

She was nervous but still fathomed courage to answer, " I have my next Ballet in MAURITIUS . And we are required to give an answer by tomorrow." There she finally dropped the bomb. She closed her eyes , took a deep breath and said ," Please let me go Benz , I haven't left Italy since long and I sincerely want to participate. You know our institute is even invited to perform in an Orphanage in New York. We'll leave Mauritius in 2 days. Imagine me teaching those little roses and their smiles and that too for a week. Please let me go." She showed him her puppy face trying her best to convince him.

"No' That was his stern answer.

"What" she whispered, trying to let it all sink in.

" Lily it's dangerous. What if someone finds out that Benjamin Dior Walker's life is exploring the fun in MAURITIUS? What if they try to harm you and I am not there? Sorry Lily ; anything else but not this."

She was heartbroken but was determined to fight," None knows me Benz. They don't know you have a sister and seeing my face is far from it. I have always obeyed to your words . Please for once let me breathe like a normal girl- A girl who dances in the rain, breathes the scent of nature and talks her heart out to whoever she wants. I am imprisoned since years Benz. For once ,if I asked something for myself you can't allow. That's so great . You know you are no less than him. The only difference is he used to imprint his orders on me while you command your order." She was crying and shaking rigorously.

He fisted his knuckles. Guilt and Anger surged in him fighting to take control. But seeing the state of His Lily, Guilt won. He still regretted not being here  for her when she was drowning in her miseries. When she actually needed someone to hold on to. What added to more to his guilt was that she never disclosed the name of her tormentor.

He held her shoulders and lifted her chin, wiping her tears and gently kissed her forehead and said," I can still go on my knees to apologise Lily . I am cruel but not an animal. Never in an millennium I want my baby to beg or be scared of me . You want to go , then go. But please allow me to keep some guards to check your surroundings before you step in a place." She was about to refuse but he interrupted ," They will be far from you and will inform me regarding your location that's it. Please ." She sighed and agreed.

"But  what about him. He won't allow. What if he comes again and.." " Don't ever be fearful in life Lily because you are sufficient for yourself. I will handle him but if he tries anything you have the dagger and I guess my defense lessons as well. I will be your shadow but remember you need to face the light and if  Serene Walker holds the power to heal a soul , she also knows how to stab the same heart. Am I right?" He asked. Confidence and admiration brimming her eyes.

" Yes! Thank you Benz .Your my iron . I am no more the porcelain doll ." she sclaimed with confidence." I am a rugged personality who was reincarnated the day I stepped on the saddle . I can fight my own struggles anf face my own music. I love you." She hugged him and her fear went on a vacation because even he was scared of This SERENE.

A tear managed to free itself from his eyes as he saw her strong Lily." Now stop being dramatic and pack your bags. After all MAURITIUS is waiting for you and yeah no funny business. " He took her hand and placed it on her heart ," Give it to someone who will cherish it like his own. The one who'll fear to even let these eyes cry. The one  who'll lock your sadness in some dark room and show you the blooms of spring because you Mi Tesoro are no less than a rainbow. So enjoy this trip to the fullest. I hope you'll be back soon . I am going to miss you.And yeah visit the exhibition on my behalf, I guess I won't be able to make it." He caressed her hair gently.

"You  hold the  purple of my rainbow Benz because I trust you and love you the most . Thank you for being the brightest star of my universe. Now bye I have to go.And this time you'll have the best painting. Not those old ones which give such cold vibes. I don't know what is interesting in those paintings. I feel as if the artist is a walking corpse who has no life." She giggled  merrily jumped and ran of the door diverting her attention to packing.

"You don't know how much depth that holds Lily. The artist holds something so painful, so inexpressible." He whispered to himself and went back to his work

Little did they know MAURITIUS would rock their lives and Change it into something better or...Worse.

    L'ARC PARIS The atmosphere of the nightclub was wrapped in muck sweat due to the grinding bodies and whiffs of cigarettes and weed. The ill-lit bouncy lights made the place exciting for youngsters and a harbor for illegal affairs. The shouts and hoots did nothing to erase the molesting memories out of Benjamin's brain. The sparkling liquid swirling in his glass was a perfect illustration of the emotions he was feeling. The morning instances flashed in his brain. He had chosen to jog to empty the burden of encounters but returned with a steel boulder on his shoulders. It was ruffling and perturbing for him. He drowned himself with another set of drinks in an attempt to wash the stains of reverberating voices. He had gone berserk on Carl for driving him to her place and intruding in his personal life. But from inside, he was scared. Scared of saying or doing something that could cause her pain. He desperately wanted but couldn't. So they silently left after a t

    Benjamin entered his condo, still trying to digest the hurt and humiliation he was pelted with, he had expected the accusation but the slap was definitely a bonus. Her fiery eyes encumbering her wrath made him drown in guilt. He wanted to confess the truth but he couldn't because in a life like his, Love was a treacherous lie and she deserved much more than that. He stood under the shower and a tear escaped his eye. How cruel was life to compel him for curbing his feelings? He banged on the wall muttering profanities and retired for sleep, probably in hope of meeting her in his dreams. The following morning was somber for both hearts. One was hurt and the other was blazing. " Come on Rose, what's the harm in meeting for Lunch. It's been ages since we last met." insisted Aaron, who was a great friend of Rose from College. He was an Architect and was currently on a break visiting Paris, so was convincin

    SMILES ORPHANAGE Serene squinted her eyes to stop the notorious sun from tickling her. It was a vibrant day with sultry warm breeze merrily dancing. She gazed at the wall clock which struck 8 in the morning. She still had an hour for the breakfast. She lazily rolled and moved towards the washroom for a calming shower. As she winded up and toweled herself dry, she looked up and her eyes turned misty. She generally avoided looking in the mirror and whenever she did, her true self was buried under layers of concealer. None knew her true self except her brother and Mrs.Williams who were introduced to partial truth. Now, when her gaze raked at her raw form, she could see the proof of being ugly and a disgrace. There were faint red marks on her arms and her thighs decorated with whip marks. Her left breast had a large scar running down her stomach, mocking her. It was still fr

    SMILES ORPHANAGE The evening was crisp yet somber. The setting sun cast a rosy hue across the evening sky casting shadows on the ground. Rowan felt his heart soaring with delight looking at the familiar walls of the Orphanage decorated with cartoon paintings. The grass had grown greener and the flowers flourished merrily. As he walked past the gates, the nostalgia filled his eyes and throat. Although he was away for a week, he still missed the warmth of this place. The memories tried to rush back but he blocked it, he was too indulged to let sadness and pain sink in. It was almost 7 in the evening and he could hear the wild chatters of delirium from the dining hall. It was dinner time as per the schedule of the orphanage. He decided to freshen up before meeting the kids. The time he opened the door, he could feel his heart rate increasing. It was stagnant, not

    Till the time, Benjamin could recover from the shock, she had already left. He felt extreme fury dancing and controlling his mind and body. She had outrageously declined the protection he had offered against the pervert. For once he could understand her anger and glare, but her ignorance irked him.'Was she so piqued that she wanted to go away from his side ?' his insides churned at the thought.He inhaled and exhaled to let calmness wash over. He didn't want to create any scene that could further provoke her. Moments passed by and people went back to enjoy the party. The waiter left quietly adjusting his collar and swiping the sweat beads shoned on his face.He couldn't erase the image of them leaving together. There was an unsettling feeling in his heart that lingered every time he chose to ignore the situation. The way that pervert had gazed and smirked at her was frustrating him and he final

    PARISThe land of food and fashion was surreal. The glistening tall buildings, the notorious fascinations and the tempting fashion stores could easily tingle your heart. The seduction of The City of Lights and Romance was enchantingly wrapped in the blanket of winter breeze. It was a salvation for a wanderlust soul.As Benjamin strolled out of his jet, he took a breath of composure and put on his shades. His Bugatti was readily waiting to take him to his condo. He sat inside so did Carl. It had been almost 3 years since he came to France earlier it used to be strictly for business but this time he thought of taking a small break for at least 3 days. While leaning back in his seat, he realized how robotically he was working for so many years, some lethal missions, disgusting auctions and sometimes even busting trafficking deals. He sighed because of the solitude he felt in his heart and life. The absence of Serene did no wonders

    ITALY"Sir I got a call from our French business branch. The manager informed that Paris Pearls, the biggest fashion house of France are hosting their fashion week and they have invited the top businessmen from all around the world, we are one of them." Carl informed Benjamin who was checking the revenue files of their legal business." So what! Do you think I have time to attend such petty fashion shows? They invite businessmen for their own publicity and I am not a fool. My presence will profit them more than me. So return it with a NO." he sternly declared and went back to calculations while Carl nodded turning to leave.But abruptly stopped." Sir I think you should attend this." Benjamin raised his eyebrow mocking his audacity to cross-question an order." Are you asking for a death wish because even if you are not, I am about to grant you." warning wa

    MAURITIUS" This is not fair Chazi. You promised you'll return in 3 days and you didn't even call for 7 days. Joey will not talk to you." he huffed, holding the phone in his little hands, his cheeks turning red. Sister Anne was silently laughing behind him." Sorry, Jojo. I wanted to come early but I stopped to buy gifts for everyone. I was looking for the best gift for you but now you don't want si I'll leav..." Rowan expected the answer and he got it wrapped in an excited yell." No! I was joking. Come with gifts. I am not angry. I swear." Joey exclaimed hurriedly not willing to miss the pleasure of gifts. " But when will you come ?" he asked in a whisper." I'll be there by tomorrow evening Jojo. Brace yourself for the amazing delight. Inform Sister regarding my arrival. Okay !"" Yes, Chazi. I will and come fast. I love you. You are the Best !!!"

    SMILES ORPHANAGE" Good Morning children! " Mrs. Williams greeted the children who had formed a circle around her group, some being enthusiastic like a bee while others calm like the sea."Good Morning miss," they shouted on the top of their lungs anticipating the motive of the arrival of strange faces. The children at Smiles Orphanage were extremely warm and welcoming. Although they were prey to a barbaric fate, they still had their innocence intact. They still believed that their parents had become stars or angels protecting them from above." I am Mia Williams and this is my group. We are here to have fun with you, little flowers. We'll dance, sing, learn and grow together hand in hand. Are you ready for this amazing talent show ?" she said loudly."Talent show? What is that ?" asked a 4 year old, energetic boy." It is sort of an exam, but a lot more fu
