A sheepish smile formed on my lips when yesterday's events flash in my mind. Oh, how he kissed me in front of Mother. Thinking about it gave me butterflies.As I was thinking, I looked at the time and left to meet Candice. At home, the time is not passing, I am glad she called. I was about to leave but mother asked,"Where are you going?""To meet Candice. Time isn't passing at all." I whined as mother chuckled,"Take care." She kissed my forehead and I left.I went to a cafe and saw her. We hugged as she squeaked, she was elated upon seeing me, "In months, you looked like a graceful woman." She complimented. I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing. I looked at myself then at her,"You sure?" I asked as she grinned and nodded. We then took a seat and began to chat."Why didn't you tell me about your relationship with him?" She asked."I.. just.." I shyly trailed off to persuade her and it worked as she laughed,"Oh, How shy." She winked. She also believed in that press conferenc
After she left, I looked at the time. 1 pm. I decided to have lunch outside. I smiled at the dress. It's beautiful, thanks to her. And yes, I do have enough money to have a meal. I never saved my money, so money is a big problem for me.After eating, I went to a park. I smiled widely. Today, everything will change. My smile is just not leaving my lips.I feel so.. connected to him. As if all the things in this universe want me to be together with him. I want to ignite his dark skies, I want to remove his facades and make him feel.. loved. I want to become the one he was never able to find. I want us to be each other's salvation.I grinned and walked out of the park. The moment I took a step out, I felt someone's hand over my mouth. I struggled to get out of his grasp but he was strong. “Mhm!” I tried to scream but to no avail, I still kept moving but in a sudden moment, I felt darkness consuming me, filling me with nothing but despair...We were one step closer to feeling ourselves
Christian POV:-Finally, We're gonna start our lives anew. I am so excited. I know I swore to myself that I'll never love again but.. I just want a reprieve from that solitude and to feel her love.Somewhere in my heart, I don't want to tell her so that I can feel her happiness and love but I know I have to finish what I have started. “Rock her world, Christian.” I told myself. I just want today to be perfect. Filled with her smiles. “Yeah, yeah…” Tyler hummed from behind.That moment excites me a lot when she shivered when I winked at her. Just how innocent she is. A pure soul made for me. “I was an idiot to push her away. From now on, I'm gonna love her, take care of her, protect her, respect her. I will give her every happiness I can.” I grinned, setting my dress.“Good for you…” He hummed again, seemingly tired.Shrugging my shoulders, I turned to the mirror, grinning at my reflection thinking about Sophie. She lights my dark world, her divine presence is a blessing for me. S
It's been a day and I haven't gone to my place. I have been staying at Tyler's place. Sophie's whereabouts are nowhere to be found. My consternation is at its peak. I can't hold myself. Undesirable thoughts kept coming to my mind.Please be safePlease be safePlease be safeI kept repeating those words like a chant. I just want to start over everything and this came. Why can't I have a little bit of solace in my life? Why can't I feel loved? All this time, I pushed myself away from her and now when I am moving closer to her, this whole universe is trying to push her away from me.Am I that unlucky?My head was resting on the table. I am in too much dismay. I can't eat or think properly. I am going insane from the distress. My mind is wreaking havoc filled with absurd thoughts that make my soul shiver.Tyler is also trying hard to find her. I just couldn't help, I don't have enough courage to go home. She was supposed to be here and greet me whenever I woke up.Leave for work and co
Upon hearing my voice she walked down. She gave me an innocent look as if she was not aware of what she had done."Well, Hello, What brings-" Before she could finish her sentence, I pushed her against the wall and glared at her. Her smile faded as she gulped in fear."I told you, didn't I?! How dare you.. I have warned you but you didn't listen. Just watch how I'm gonna make your life miserable.”“You ruined the day she was so happy about. I will never forgive you for this. I will break your soul, your very being into pieces. Just you wait and watch. Your devastation starts now. I'm gonna push you deep into those abysses that are gonna tear your life out of you slowly and painfully." I growled and pulled away as she began to pant in dread."Once I'm gonna get her. You start counting backwards." I hissed as I left her alone.I walked out as Tyler asked, "Still alive?""I'm not gonna let her die that easily." I growled as I sat on the passenger seat and Tyler drove the car.My heart beg
Gulping hard in terror of what she has gone through, I removed my hand from her ear and slightly pulled away. I rested my forehead against her and took off my coat and wrapped it around her."It's okay.. I am here. I promise, I'll never leave you alone ever again." I picked her up like bridal style, I hate the clicking sound her chain around her foot is making. I want to release her from this.I saw Tyler holding some of them captive. His eyes widened when he looked at her. We stopped there and I turned my attention to Sophie,"Sophie.." I called her, she slowly lifted her gaze and met mine. Her ravage form is killing me."Tell me, who made you like this?" I asked, looking at them fiercely. When she trembles looking at them, my blood boils more. What have they done to her that she is so petrified about? "It's alright. I am here. No one can harm you in my presence." I reassured her. She held my shirt and nuzzled closely after motioning to two guys. I looked at Tyler who nodded and I
We reached the hospital, I picked the slumbering form of Sophie and took her inside. I gently laid her on the stretcher as the nurse rushed to her side and took her to the emergency ward.When they went, I took a seat as Tyler left to fill some forms. I was panting heavily, my mind was in a state of havoc. My senses are lost. I couldn't comprehend what's happening.My hands were trembling, The look of hers kept coming in my mind stirring it intensely. That look of shame when she couldn't meet my gaze- let alone her own. The tremble of her soul, I felt that. The ultimate ravage affecting our minds and taking us to the thick fog of misery- it’s painful. I couldn’t take this anymore but for her sake, I have to do it and stay strong. I cursed myself for not being able to save her. I broke my promise to protect her again… Why do I always break my promises? I didn’t want her to be hurt anymore. I hate myself for not being by her side, For not saving her. The guilt is eating me up. My
I went to Aunt and saw Eugene there too, looking down crying."Christian, What did the doctor say?" She asked desperately."She said to take care of Sophie and make sure not to give her any stress emotionally and physically." I said."Then let's take her back with us when she'll be discharged." Eugene said, glaring at me."Look what happened when she lived with you. You couldn't even protect her." He hissed and this hit me like an arrow, it drowned me in the pools of guilt."She wasn't with me. She was living with her mother." I said monotonously. I am in no mood for arguments. "What?" He asked, looking at Aunt."Mother? Why was she.. with you?" he asked."I'll tell you about it later." She said, looking away. "No, I want to know. Why am I always ignorant of the facts that I should know?" He said sadly. He felt it.He walked away with Aunt following him behind."You sure, you're not gonna tell them?" Tyler asked. I gave him a nod."I'll ask Sophie." I said and took a seat again.I le
