Tiara's POV It's been an hour since we came to the party and an hour since Lucas informed me that Stefano is back but as the time is passing, I am coming close to believing that Lucas must have got the wrong information. He said he heard his dad talking to someone on the phone that Stefano will be attending today's party. But seeing that the party is in full swing people gossip, dance, and enjoy themselves. I don't think Stefano will come. My excitement and the butterflies that swarmed my stomach after Lucas's info are dying. Hence to self-pity myself I gave a glance across the party hall, I found everyone busy. And then my eyes landed on Lucas who was sitting on one of the tables with a pout. Concerned I went to him and took a seat beside him. "Hey! What happened? " I asked grabbing his attention. "Nothing. " Sadness dripping from his voice. "Lucas, you know, friends don't lie right ?" I asked raising one of my brows. Lucas sighed and then he looked at me with a sad face " I
Tiara's POVHands sweating, heart thumping erratically, breathing labored. In short, I was a nervous mess.Just a whisper and here I am melting and freezing at the same time. I want to turn and look at him. It's been 2 months and not even a glimpse and now when he is standing just behind me, I am unable to find the courage to turn and look into his eyes.What if he had grown taller?Had he grown his beards? Oh, God! What the hell am I thinking. Stupid stupid Tiara, turn and see for yourself, duffer. What if he thinks you are being rude. Admonished my inner self.But I remain frozen until two strong arms wound around me. My stomach busted with butterflies, my breath hitching. I closed my eyes. Savoring the warmth of his body, touching mine. Slowly Stefano turned me around but I kept my eyes closed.I don't know how much time passed maybe seconds, minutes, I don't know but not being able to take it anymore I finally opened my eyes. And no sooner I did do that than I felt as if I am b
Tiara's POV I am happy.Scratch that I am on cloud fucking nine. Oops! A bad word. But right now I don't care. It's been a long since I felt this ticklish and giddy. So anyway I am so happy today that I feel like the early morning chirping birds, full of melody and enthusiasm. I want to twirl, sway and jump with joy.And it's all due to one person.Stefano Valentino.The only one, who just knows how to play the strings of my emotions. No matter how hard I try. I fail to wipe out the grin and red coating my cheeks.Every moment of his lips moving with mine is playing like a record in my mind and that too is on repeat mode. Again and again.My cheeks are aching and exhausted from this much smiling. I don't even remember, when was the last time, I felt so delighted. But with Stefano, the mere mention of his name is enough to lift my mood. Though not much happened after my submission, as we were disturbed by one of his men, as he was needed at the party. So Stefano had to leave, bu
Tiara's POVI did as he told me. Unzipping his pants I pulled them down. He was left with no clothing except his Calvin and Klein boxers, cladding his toned thighs. Gulping I looked up to find Stefano looking at me with dark desires, my looks were no different.And at the same I can't believe it's me, the younger me would have never thought that one day she will be in a situation like this and forget about the younger me, only a couple of months ago, I was not this girl. Or I say, woman. One must think, I am a shame to woman empowerment. But those people didn't lead the life I lived.Every second of my life I crave to have control, over things happening around me and fail miserably. So when Stefano takes control, I feel like my life is in my hands. I feel empowered rather than dominated. I feel like I am being taken care of. And that need to be taken care of feels good. "I don't have much patience," Stefano growled, snapping me out of my thoughts. He is impatient and so am I. If I
My eyes twitched to adjust the brightness lighting my face. Opening them slowly I rubbed my eyes and opened them to see early sunrise from the window across. It's sunrise. I whispered to myself. And readied to lay down again for a while. When my eyes roamed around the room, that was when I bolted upright from my half-lay position. Realization dawned upon me.I am not at my home.A gust of breeze flows, making me shiver. And then I noticed I am naked. Memories of last night flooded my brain. And with memories several questions too. Did no one ask about me? Being so overprotective, why my phone is not bombarded by my uncle and brother?? And so many other questions but I don't dwell on them for much as I know Stefano must have handled everything. But my question is ... What did he say? Talking about Stefano my head snapped to my left and Found Stefano sleeping peacefully, beside me. He is naked from the waist and definitely under the blanket as well. The temptation to peek is high
Tiara's POVI read somewhere once that you should not fear death. It's fear you should fear, as it kills you even before death can.If a few years ago someone had asked my opinion about these words, I would have laughed and said, both means the same. But today I know the difference. Right now I am at a position in my life, where death doesn't scare me it tempts me with the peace it brought with itself. What scares me is the fear that I carry within my heart. Fear of not dying, but seeing those whom I love, die. This fear kills me every day. Slowly and tauntingly. "Pull your hoody more, our faces shouldn't be visible." Obeying what Jaxon commanded. I looked around my surrounding once. Something I am doing since we left the safety of our house. And entered in one of these creepy allies. It is one of those we see in those creepy horror movies. Trash-littered roads were brightened by loosely hung street lamps and the natural glow of the moon piercing the night. Those allies are filled
Tiara's POV "Lucas you need to eat," I said for the 10th time, but he kept quiet playing with his food.Lucas is not a brat, he always listens to me but today I can understand where his defiance is coming from. Hence I sighed and decided to be patient with him today, so taking a seat beside him, I made him look at me. I caressed his cheeks with my thumb and then softly I tried explaining to him"He will be fine. You are worrying about nothing." His small doe eyes tried finding conviction in my eyes and when he did, nodding he looked at his plate. Still Not a bit interested in eating. "Tiara.." He said lowly. "Hmm" "I never wanted him to be hurt." Saying he hugged me and the little heart of his started crying.And my heart broke seeing him, blame himself for his father's accident. He thinks, that just because he wished his father to stay away from him, all this happened. He fills like he is a bad kid. And I don't at all want him to think like that. Hence Cupping his cheeks I wiped
Smoke, fire...I am surrounded by them but surprisingly no heat is reaching me instead I am shivering it's as if I am here still absent. I am in between nowhere, as far as my eyes can go, it's only smoke that I can see. Suddenly I hear a scream, turning I see a girl running in her white dress that has caught fire and she is crying for help, on instinct, I run behind her to help, calling her, but she heard nothing and kept running, me following behind her, until she falls on her knees heaving to get enough oxygen, but ends coughing due to smoke.Slowly I move forward and stood in front of her, giving my hand, I called for her but the moment she raised her head, a scream left my lips."No!!!!!"It was me.My face.Seeing her I stumbled back. She kept looking me dead in the eyes, her eyes held hatred for me pure hatred as if trying to rip my soul. Standing, she slowly moves towards me, then looking at me with piercing red, blazing eyes she accuses, "Look what you did to me. It's all bec
