Ryan POV:- “Argh.” I was sitting in my office, deep in thoughts. My mind is clouded with enigmatic thoughts that are making me feel uneasy and disgusted too, like how can I like Rebecca being close to me? “That rude, irritating and cold woman is the most undesirable woman.” I growled, rubbing my temples. “Then why the hell do I feel attracted to her?! Why does her tears soften my heart?” I growled, slamming my hand on the table. Why the urge to explore those ice walls, what despair hidden deep inside her always got the best of me? When I want to become her darkness, then why do I want to know what is her darkness? “Why do I feel compassion for her?!” I asked myself, hissing under my breath. The door knocked and my assistant entered, “Are you alright, Sir?” She asked. “Yeah, why?” I asked, frowning at her. “I heard a noise outside so I thought I might ask.” She replied vaguely. Maybe I should keep my thoughts inside my head. “It’s nothing. You go.” I ordered. She shrugged
"Some mistakes are irredeemable." She said it more to herself in a gloomy voice. I wanted to say something to comfort her and this time I did. "But you cannot destroy your future because of your past." She looked at me as she snickered. "What's with that sudden change? If you want to fix our relationship then let me tell you there's no relation between us, the only emotion present between us is hatred." I swallowed the bitterness of her words inside me and replied in a cold voice, "I know. You don't have to tell me." She then nodded. I went to our room. “Do I have to dress up?” She asked bitterly, checking her dress. “No, you look fine.” I replied coldly as I freshened myself as we went to have dinner. The dinner was silent. The sound of soft music in the background somehow eased the tension in the air a little but Rebecca. As always unaffected by anything, continued to eat her food. I wanted to know her, even though I knew a lot about her, her education, her remarkable
1 Week Later:- After trying my best to get a normal conversation out of her, it all ended up in vain. Our talk may start with random things but end with her mock. I am trying to get to know her and after sharing a few conversations with her. I came to know that her way of talking is very tricky. She spoke deeply and understood it was beyond my capabilities most of the time. Her words held profound meanings, which are similar to a riddle. Maybe I should tell her straightforwardly that I want to know her and want to give our relationship a chance. “I get it, we cannot love each other but we can at least live our lives on good terms for whatever time we have left.” I muttered
Rebecca POV:-Ryan took it all wrong, I didn't mean it to do it. I can be anything but I can't be a cheater. His words hit me like an arrow as I felt I am immersing deeper into despair."You have proven that nothing but hate is present between us." He said and pushed me away.“Mr Knight-”Before I could say anything in my defense, he left. His tears..He was crying.I broke his heart. I destroyed the house he was trying to build. I shattered the dreams he began to think with me.
“Noo!” I woke up screaming, holding my chest to breath with tears blurring my vision.“No, No, It’s not me.” I whispered in a broken voice.I ran out of the room and looked for Ryan desperately.“It’s not me, I swear.”I lost my breath as it began to suffocate me. Tears brimmed in my eyes as my mind was clouded with terror.My hands and feet turned cold along with cold sweat over my forehead.I entered his studies and saw him leaning on the table, one hand over his face, covering his face while his other hand was resting on the table.He looked like a complete mess, mess
Before my mind could register anything further than this, he picked me a bridal style.“Ryan!” A gasp escaped my lips as my heart skipped a beat. I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked at him innocently.“Shh. Don’t talk.”He looked at me with a hint of something darkly beautiful as we began to walk. I buried my face in his chest and closed my eyes.The melodious sound of his heartbeat gave me utmost serenity, I smiled genuinely, blushing furiously in his arm, drowning in this presence.I found myself losing in his lull and before I knew it, he placed me gently on the bed of our room.“So you burned them?” He asked,
Ryan POV:-‘Oh Lord… where did my emotions lead me?’Sunlight penetrated through the curtains, igniting our room. I slowly opened my eyes and adjusted my vision.I let out a yawn, feeling tired and plopped on my elbows. I turned to my side and saw Rebecca sleeping beside me, peacefully.“Hey…” I whispered.A smile crept upon my lips when I looked at her. My heart began to beat fast, feeling strange happiness inside me as last night's events came to my mind.I moved my hand close to her face and tugged the strand of her hair falling on her face behind her ears.“You are irresistibly
She got ready, coming out of the bathroom after her bath, getting ready as I continued to watch her intensely until she came closer and sat on the bed, looking at the bangles on her hand.I scooted closer to her, not preferring distances from her anymore. I also looked at her hands and began to say."Your hands were empty so I thought I could…" I trailed off and she began to say,"I love bangles, bracelets and any jewelry to wear on hand." She said with a smile. I also smiled back and looked at her.“It looks beautiful on you.” I whispered sincerely.“Thanks.” She smiled sheepishly.She also turned to look at me too as we star
