LOVE WAS NO CURSE
MY convalescence was rather slow. Physically she recovered with normal celerity but a certain spiritual and emotional langour persisted for a time. One cannot go down to the depths of hidden things and escape the penalty. Aunt Elizabeth said she "moped." But Emily was too happy and contented to mope. It was just that life seemed to have lost its savour for a time, as if some spring of

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."― Anais NinThe deep voice of the stranger was the first and only thing that greeted her long before her eyelids, which had remained drooping for up to ten hours up until now, pushed open."Is it possible that you finally woke up, Miss. Lightwood?" His dark blue eyes, which were raging like a windy day's sky, met hers and her heart skipped a beat.

It had been a long time since he last saw her, now that he finally glimpsed a sight of her after three years full of anguish and hatred, he couldn't seem to realize whether this feelings that were flooding against his spine and heart were in fact out of longing for her, or out of pure rage. "Hello , Miss. Lightwood, it is an honor to meet you, I am your new assistant, Dean Edgar." He spoke as if nothing had happened just a few seconds ago, or more clearly as if he didn't just ignore his duty towards the new boss on the first day of her arrival, and that he didn't even welcome her as he was supposed to.. She flashed a little smile at him, returning his fake smile, but without raising her hand towards him to shake hands like she has done with the rest of the staff. "It is all my honor, Mr. Edgar, I hope we will work in harmony together for the sake of this branch." Her words descended on him like a thunderbolt, causing him to lose control of his fake smile and

CHAPTER ONETWO YEARS LATER ~The employees chattered loudly while they enthusiastically awaited the arrival of their new boss. They were very thrilled to meet this new female boss as the rumor has it that the new CEO of this small branch of TO International is in fact the daughter of the former chief executive officer of the company, which meant that the company will finally take care of this small branch and increase its production rate, which simply meant: more money and better salaries.The employees heard the sound of the elevator moving towards them, approaching like a hawk, and their heartbeat began to race as they hit the culmination point of their enthusiasm, and fear for their future. For, this either meant a better future or a worse one. There was nothing in between, and they knew it.

Joe handed him a bottle of water in silence, and Dean whispered, "Thank you," as he could barely speak, and then began to open the bottle by removing the plastic cap.John laughed at his friend's reaction, "Now the truth is crystal clear, for me at least, didn't everyone, back then, think you had a big ass crush on her?!""No, I never liked her, she was never my type, we were just friends," staring blankly, he wiped over his mouth with a white napkin.John rolled his eyes "Obviously, you forgot the first time you met her and how you reacted. However, I didn't forget, and I am here, so alive, to share my knowledge," He laughed at his own words before facing Joe and saying," Oh Joe, damn it man, if only you were back then with us to witness him shit himself! Just remembering that day makes me shudder with laughter!" He took a deep pause then declared, "Thinking about it now, I find your reaction at that time was kind of close to your reaction today, did you fall i

The first day of work has come after the weekend, and Dean still couldn't believe that she had the nerve enough to show up in front of him again. After all she has done. To him. He had expected, or maybe hoped, that she would not deal with him much because of the past between them, but, much to his dismay, she called on him whenever the opportunity allowed her. She did not have a driving licence, so she couldn't drive and hence it became one of his duties as her assistant to relocate her from her apartment to the company and vice versa, which meant that he was literally forced to see her face from the beginning of his day at work to Its end. As for Norma, she was trying to make sure that she did not make any mistakes in order to save the image of her family's company. She was only here to work hard and make the branch thrive, so she asked for help as much as was possible. But Dean didn't see it that way. All he saw was that she was using any opportunity available to her to summon h

Those words descended like a thunderbolt on her. She felt a pang of pain in her heart... She felt extremely insulted and humiliated. How could he!Ignoring her reaction completely, he looked at his watch and said, "Get ready, she will be here in at least half an hour." Once he got out of the room, she quickly went to the bathroom and, to calm her angry state, she took off her clothes and got under the hot bathtub.. Nothing calmed one's nerves but a hot bath, that's for sure!She knew he was unforgiving and that neither tears, nor reproaches, nor bitter scorn could avail to carry her point, for she tried them all, even to violent hysterics. If he said she has to go, even as his whore, then that's what is going to happen.She kept thinking over and over again about what he said. Since she came here three months ago, he never introduced her to anyone, or told, or at least hinted to anyone that they were married. For all she knew, she might as well have ceased existence in this new city,

Your cold eyes confuse me, and make me shudder with want I do not recognize. The sound of your whispers and your breath when it runs down my neck is enough to make me obsessed with sinful fantasies. I didn't want you, at first, but you became a part of me and your very details grew to become my bliss. I love your cold cruelty and your majesty when you are fighting yourself, when you're hot and cold. I love having your head on my lap, and your charcoal hair strands between my fingers to stroke and play with. I love motherting you, but I love loving you even more. You entered my life like a roaring hell and you forced me into your realm of evil, if only you knew how much I love your confessions that confuse me-- the confessions that you whisper to me when there is only us, when you're all bare to me, body and soul."As the heir to a family dynasty, Joe knows the rumors swirling around him. However, the truth is even darker. Years ago he chose to run away from everything, from the fact th

It burned you, and inflamed you, and then made you whine saying it's cold.Who can escape from the threads of fate? Who can escape from the destruction of blind love?She knew that engaging in one sided relationship was like walking on mined land. Playing with death. But she would walk barefoot on that same mined land to get to him every time, hoping that at the end of the way, she would reach him without being completely destroyed.Therefore, she did not hesitate to tame her traitorous heart and to look at her father in the eyes with a calm look, hiding behind her deep love and a trembling soul, as She said:"But, father, he does not know me.... I live in one half of the world and he lives in the other... How is this marriage going to work out?"Jack understood her question and her doubt about it, so he with the same tone, explaining his
