~Xander~
Her emotionless eyes hurt me more than her words. She hates me for the crime I didn’t commit. I could not talk or present my innocence, and left the hospital; after making sure she was okay and out of danger.
She was okay if she could blame me for everything.
The anger was busting in me. Aoife’s words didn’t leave me for a second. I returned home in a rage and threw my phone on the wall. How is this even possible? Didn’t she feel a single thing for me? How easy was it to say she hates me?
And who the hell wants to frame me against her?
I closed my eyes and tried to think hard.
Where did I leave the phone at the time of the messa

Xander had become my worst nightmare from that moment when he took me on this ridiculous adventure. Tears showed how stupid I was and my decision to come over here and give him a chance.Matt looked at me, giving me a fair chance to realize my misstep. “I am sorry. You were right about him. I shouldn’t have come here.” I answered.“Did he do something bad with you?” He questioned.What should I tell him? Yes, he showed me how to fuck in the mouth. Or he found a unique way to torture me. “I don’t want to talk about it,” I answered.He came closer, and I rested my head over his shoulder.“I am not good at judging other people’s intentions.”He let me cry on his shoulder without utte

~AOIFE~ It’s been a week, and I was back to my routine work. And not to forget, I still didn’t know who wanted to kill me like that, but I tried my best to stay low from Xander, and his friends' radar. Out of the blue, I got a card, and it was from none other than Xander. He apologized for his action, but as I promised Matt. I am done with him. I threw that card in the trash and pretended I had never seen it. For the last two days, he tried to talk to me and came to the library, but I was lucky to hide myself with Miss Agnes help. Watching him made me feel vulnerable, and I wouldn’t say I liked the feeling of giving him a chance to clear his part. I hoped he would stop trying to reach me, but I was wrong. Well, how long? I ignored all his apology gestures. It’s Friday, and Luka, Clara, and I planned a movie night. Aunt Agnes needed to see her doctor; She left early. It’s only me who was responsible for closing the library. I dropped a message to meet them in an hour and wrapped my

~Xander~ I wanted to kill that bastard who slapped her. I didn’t know why she protected him even after he hit her. Don’t tell me it’s her eternal love story. I will love him till my last breath and shit. I rolled my eyes. My anger burst like a volcano when I saw her hugging his unconscious body in the car. Great, If I would have acted like him, beaten and unconscious. Maybe she would have shown such concern to me too. How could she love a junkie? Can’t she see he is not good enough for him? My blood was boiling, and I totally forgot about my hand, which was hurting like hell. That idiot hit me with a knuckleduster. Didn’t she see her lover hit me with that? I slammed the door as Matt tried to help him come out. Give me a chance, and I will break his nose. We reached the hospital, and the people took Caleb on the stretcher. No doubt she would follow him till the emergency. Matt came out as I was sitting on his car bonnet. “Come, let’s go.” He said. “I don’t want to,” I said, je

~Aoife~ How innocent those glossy brown eyes looked when they were calm, but how did I forget how much pain they have gifted me in the last few days?

And it broke me more when he knew he was hurting me, but he didn’t stop himself. Why did he want to hurt me? Why did he act like I was responsible for answering him for everything in my life? His words worked like a knife that cut my heart, but I could feel the pain in his eyes. There is a lot more going on in our minds. I was unsure about him, but his constant apologies and continuous action didn’t justify his answers. All I knew was everything he offered me shattered me, and when he dragged my mom’s name, I slapped him. Yes, I slapped him to make him stop whining things about me. I wanted to run somewhere. I could not understand what was going on between Xander and me. The more I tried to

~Aoife~ “Aoife, come out,” Clara screamed. “How am I looking?” I answered with a nervous tone. “Super hot, babe. I hope we will find some hotties at the party.” She winked at me. We tried dozens of dresses. It took us four hours to choose only two dresses for us. We took our shopping bags and went to grab a quick lunch. Two days back, Clara busted my door. After I came from the hospital, it lost me with unnecessary stress.

“Hello, guys,” a familiar voice echoed in my ear. I turned and saw it was Xander. He said hello to everyone, and I was shocked by his presence. Why can’t he leave me alone for just one day? He shook Zach’s and Luka’s hands, but he greeted Clara and me with a kiss on the cheek. That was not acceptable and expected from us. I mean, Xander treated his juniors like humans. We three were talking through our eyes. What is he doing here? Who invited him? He was busy talking to Zach, facing their backs towards us. I yanked at Clara’s hand; glared at her. “What is he doing here?” “He is Zoey’s brother-in-law,” When I heard her words, I literally choked and started coughing. Zach came running towards me. “Hey, are you ok?” He slowly patted my bareback. “Come sit here. Take it slowly, babe,” He said. “I am fine,” I mustered a smile as I got killer looks from my bully. Zach went back to talk to Xander, and I pulled Clara’s hand. “You knew it already? Why didn’t you tell me? I will
When A Bully Falls In Love XXIII-Part A
~Aoife~ It’s hard to know who Xander is to me. One moment he was the worst, and the next, he behaved like a perfect gentleman. He made me cry, and today he made me blush with his gaze. His piercing gaze was telling some hidden story. That was the first time I was not scared of him when I saw a glimpse of emotions, or should I say, the first time I looked closely into his glossy brown eyes. Matt was right about him. If he wanted, he could behave like a gentleman. I loved the way he tried to hide my back with my hair. He is protective of his unique way. I genuinely enjoyed dancing with him. There was something in his touch that gave me chills. Whether or not I accept it, something strange was going on between us. His protective nature or possessiveness always surprised me. He rolled his eyes when we were disturbed by Zareena. It felt like Zareena peeled him from my hand. I needed to control this emotional ride; after all, he was not mine. With a deep breath, I started dancing wit
