I strode over to her and crossed my hands "Natasha, is it?"
She lowered the glass"No, it's Natalie."
"Ahh Natasha, have you forgotten your manners?"
She glared at me"I don't know what you're talking about Azra."
I made a tsk tsk sound" I wonder who your mother is, it's a pity she couldn't even teach you such little things. But I'm a good person, I can't let a beauty like you remain clueless, or else you might take this to your in-law's house... that is, if you ever get married."
"What are you insinuating?"
"What I'm saying is that, when you're in someone's house, that's my house, you should respect the person. For example, I just came in and you couldn't even greet me. I need to sit in my chair, you're required to stand up, now."
She ground her teeth together" Azra, don't go too far..."
"Another mistake Natasha, it's Mrs. Creed's to you, not Azra"
"And my name is Natalie, not Natasha!"
I no
NATALIE's pov ~I paced to and fro after that bitch locked me up thinking of what to do. I couldn't stand it anymore so I wanted to leave, I have a feeling she'll do something much worse if I continue to stay here but unfortunately, she stopped me. Also, I can't believe Kian shunned me because of her, he made her breakfast without keeping any for me.He didn't even glance at me before leaving nor did he ask how I was feeling. Nothing. It's just like he became a different person entirely the moment she came back which means one thing, he loves her.Ahh! How can he love her? Isn't he mad that she kissed his brother? And why are they not fighting as we've predicted?Their plan has failed.I took out my phone and called Liam, Kian's uncle who is also my adoptive father. He adopted me when I was ten and trained me to worked for him. At the age of fifteen, I could lie fluently, though I can never lie to him, he'll know whe
Everyone was in good spirits, Jazmine turned to Aria and asked"What's going on between you and that hot dude?"I nodded and stretch out my ears, I'm also curious about what's going between them.Her face flushed"Nothing, nothing is going on I promise." She said shyly, hiding her face with her hair.I snorted"Yeah, right. I heard he's been visiting you lately at home, I don't think he's going there to see pops, is he?"Jazmine sniggers "Did he ask you out? Or has he...kissed you yet?""Hold on, Aria has anyone kissed you before? Don't tell me the day you kissed Arian was the day you got your first kiss?"I teased.She covered her face with her hands"You guys, stop it! Okay, I'll tell you." She took a deep breath and nodded"you're right, that was my first kiss and Ji ho has been asking me out on a date."Jazmine and I leaned towards her, nodded at her to continue"And then?"She gazed at our cur
JAZMINE's povAfter Kian and Azra left, I slowly climbed up the stairs. Daniel's words kept ringing over and over in my head."Meet me at Jazco Hotel tomorrow evening by 7 pm." Flashback!"Daniel?" I gasp in shock as I took in the person's face."Oh hello sweetheart, how are you doing?""W-what... how?"I stuttered in shock. What is he doing here? How did he find me?A sly smile played on his lips as he pressed me against the wall."You shouldn't be surprised darling, yes, I followed you here. I told you didn't I? You can never run away from me no matter where you go to."I stilled my pounding heart and glared at him"I wasn't running away from you. I told you it's over between us, why don't you get that? I've moved on Daniel, now let go of me, or else I'll scream.""Scream?" He laughed"go on, scream. Scream let me hear you!"His hands tightened against mine, he lean
ARIA's povI must've slept off because I found myself lying on the cold floor when I woke up. My leg was cuffed to a table.I tried to sit upright but grimaced a bit when the pain hit my right shoulder - where those guys hit me. I think it's twisted or so cause I can't move it. Glancing around the room, I realize no one was there, they must be asleep or something.My phone! I wished I'm with my phone right now, I would have texted Azra to call for help but it fell into the kidnapper's car.Have they found out that I'm trouble? Are they looking for me? I let out a sigh.Funny enough, my mind went to Arian. He has the most pretty sky blue eyes ever, with full pink lips, long dark lashes that never fail to make her jealous whenever she sees him.I was reminiscing about my first kiss with him when I h
HAYDEN's povI watched Nadine through the CCTV in my office monitoring her every move in her office. She was currently sitting on her rest with her head on her hand looking out in space as if lost in thought.What is she thinking about?It's two months already and she still hasn't given me an answer yet. F*CK! I wonder why she's still hasn't answered, whenever I try to bring it up she'll somehow deviate from the question.She has been constantly asking about her house which I promised. Of course, I've been telling her lies saying it isn't ready yet but it is.Last night, I told her about it but she'd looked at me like she knows I'm lying.I'm running out of time and I know it, I need to convince her quickly, and if she can't make her choice I'll ignore all the consequences and make it the choice for her.I mean, why is she so stubborn?I thought Azra was stubborn but meeting Nadine, I knew what stubborn is.
~ JAZMINE's pov ~Oh God, this is bad.Really bad. I thought as Aaron busted in the room.What is he doing here?I watched in horror as he took me in, seeing the disgust in his eyes as he saw my widened leg, I felt like digging the ground to enter.I badly wanted to shut my legs but my body won't listen to me.I could only watch what was going on around me in shame. I caused this for myself, I stupidly believed I could talk some sense into Daniel but I was so stupid.I got hurt in the end.I watched as Daniel picked up his towel from the floor to tie but before he could wrap it around his waist, Aaron rushed to him."You flee-brained cóck sucking bastard!!" He threw a punch at Daniel – the force, sending him crashing to the floor.Before Dan could react, he kicked him again and again
AZRA's povKelly took me to a pub, it was awkward between us because I didn't know what to say to him. I can't stay mad at him either because one doesn't control how he feels.Love just happens.Though, I wonder when he started having feelings for me."Azra look, I know Kian must've told you how I feel about you but the truth is, I won't change anything about it. I don't want you to feel weird because of my feelings for you. I love you, yes but I won't impose it on you. I wanted to tell you how I felt so that you'll know about it, I know it won't change anything cause you're in love with someone else already."I nodded."You are right about that Kelly, I'm sorry but I won't be able to return your feelings, I love you as a friend. I hope you find a girl who loves you equally."He forced a smile"Yeah let's hope, anyway, I called you here to tell you that I'm living. I've decided to jo
NATALIE's povI sat in the plane the next day waiting for the guards which Sung-ho, my adoptive father placed on me, to get distracted so I can escape.I won't let that man use me the way he wants and then get me married to an old man. No way. Right now I'm furious at him, more than that self, I want to get revenge on him for how he treated him. He didn't even bat an eyelid when I begged. I saw it in his eyes, he had already made his decision.I've always hoped that he'll someday change and treat me like his real daughter, to show some fatherly love to me, I do my best to please him but it's all in vain. He used me and now I'm going to get my revenge back, even if it means helping his enemy – Kian.Last night, after he left me in the living room, I saw his study open and went to check it out. You wouldn't believe what I found. His
