Chapter 15Pain And HopeHe parked the car and sprinted after Stella to see her expression as she entered the house.Stella stood still at the entrance with indecisive mind.But what he was looking for was missing."You are spoiled. You want me to pick me to your room too." He asked holding her from her waist."No. Thank you so much for all this." she said politely but flatly.She walked slowly to her room stepping on the pathway of flowers with a no expression face, her each step hurting hi.mDoctor was right. She did need a rehabShe huffed her breath as she reached the room and went to the wash room to change into some comfy tee and pyjamas. She opened her hair and tied them once again. A girly gesture that she did quite often.She was about to lie down and then"Hey this is for you." he switched on the music system where he had already set her old time favorite "Please forgive me" by Bryan Adams. He handed her the red rose he had hidden all this while and asked, "May I have the pl
Chapter 16 Tears- Let Them Flow Dressed in a black button down shirt and black denims and flowers in one hand Edwin chose the girl he loved and reached the cemetery and he was damn right, his angel had come to wish her dad on his birthday. He placed his tulips besides the bunch of white roses that Stella had brought for her father. She stood there sobbing bitterly at her father's grave. Edwin did not want to see her cry but she needed that outpour, he knew or she'll sink into her emotions that were killing her inside. He let her cry for some time till he couldn't take anymore. he her lifted her from her crouched position besides her father’s grave and huggesd her, he let her cry even though her evr tear was burning his soul. He then took her to her mom. She had forgotten to get flowers for her and was pleased to see that Edwin had been thoughtful about it. They spent some time together there cuddled in each other's arms in front of their parents. Edwin was mentally prayi
Chapter 15 Money Matters Chapter 17 "Oh this it's nothing but a small bruise." she shifted her gaze to anywhere but him; lies evident in her body language. "So is the bruise on your neck. Is it the same nothing?" he asked a bit frustrated, his eyes turning red with fury Iris pulled a scarf around her neck looking directly in his eyes hiding the tears of remorse that were threatening to fall, "Edwin it's none of your business. You better keep off from this league." she tried to be curt in her tone but failed miserably. Pain was visible in her eyes. "I want to know how you got all this?" he pulled her from her elbow to bring her face to face. She was wearing a full sleeved purple shirt with black leggings. She whimpered in pain. Inspite of her hesitation, Edwin pulled her arms and folded her sleeve to see the cause of pain. It was an impression of something oval with 4 dots, some kind of metal, Oh shit! Reality stuck him. It was the mark of a ring, some of her crude customers
Chapter 18 Love And Agony Edwin woke up with the sun rays beaming at his face from the corner where the peach floral curtains of the window were slightly left undone. He blinked his eyes twice and thrice to register that it was a new day, another day in his life when he woke up with Stella in his arms. She was snuggled tight in the crook of his neck and shoulders where her lips brushed his bare chest slightly. She is unaware of the fact how much turned on he'd get because of this. Sometimes when she sleeps facing the other side, he smiles at the memory when he'd scoot behind her hugging her tight feeling the satin of her lacy black gown that loosely clung to her perfect body to remind her that she needs to rest at the crook of his neck She completes his life. With her on his side, their bedroom feels like heaven away from heavens. He moved his fingers on her perfect face starting from forehead to the chin. He urged desperately to kiss her, yet he didn't. He wanted her to s
Chapter 19 Pain & Fear Out of all the people Edwin was the last person she wanted to see her in such a situation "Edwin" she managed to speak in between pain, "You here?" she asked huffed and tired of last night and pain. She felt defeated that she no longer had the money for the operation. Shit shit!.' She cursed mentally, 'I should have thought about the commission thing and asked for more but it's all over now. Today was the deadline and I am short of bloody 6000$.' "Yeah wanted to pick Stella's reports." he answered breaking her reverie. He looked worried "What happened to you?" "I am fine. The shit business thing you see." Iris replied casually. "Right but does that involve being tortured or assaulting?" he asked hating the thought of the skin business she did. "That's spanking sir." she said seductively fluttering her eyelashes to change the mood. "That's not funny. Look at yourself. You are killing yourself. Don't do it." he said with utter honesty. She chuckled, "
Chapter 20 Distant Beauties "You wouldn't want to know that." Iris turned her head hiding the tears on the rim of her eyes from him. Then flipping her emotions she explained "Apart from money, they are bad they are involved with drugs, human trafficking and worst of the anti social activities that you have only seen in movies." She pleaded "So I beg of you please keep away from me and my life. Your little help would do nothing but cause trouble to you in long run." "So you want time span." he asked to the point. "Yes" she replied ashamed "I know I am behaving mean and rude." "Its difficult but I'll try." he assured. "One more thing." She smiled to lighten up the environment "What?" he asked shrugging his shoulders confused. "Try to take me as a stranger. Even if you see me again behave as if we dont know each other." she opened the car door and ran out of the car running towards her home limping. Iris could not decipher whether she was glad or disappointed that he did under
Chapter 21 It’s A Date "Will you just follow." he opened the passenger door for her and held her hand as they walked towards the salon. "Aren't you getting insane?" she asked confused as he had taken her there for the first time. "This is a special booking only for two of us." he said as he moved to the receptionist. "Hi ma'am" he said flirtily to the beautiful receptionist on the desk. "How can I help you?" she asked fluttering her eyebrows continuing to flirt with him back. Stella stepped forward and hugged him from his waist showing her that the two were together exactly the way he wanted -a tinge of jealousy and some extra touch. That was exactly why he was flirting. "I have a booking in the name of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin" he said now smiling happily looking at his Stella. The girl obviously got bugged and coldly directed them towards the related person. Edwin did not care as he was walking with the most beautiful girl. Any other girl would hardly stand a chance in fron
Chapter 22 New Hopes "Stella.. Stella where are you?" There was darkness every where and Edwin was in despair completely clueless where to find Stella. The place looked like a hollow vacuum tunnel. It was ever widening with every step he took. It was a never ending dark alley and Stella was lost somewhere in there. Sweat droplets shone on his forehead and he was scared, very scared. Whenever he thought he was getting closer to Stella why does fate do this to him? 'I cannot loose her. I want her safe. I want her with me.' He chanted in his head 'Stella Stella" he shouted and the voice echoed back ten times louder. ~''''''''''''''' "Edwin wake up I am here." Some one pushed Edwin and he sat straight all of a sudden sweat droplets on his forehead and a smiling Stella standing in front of his eyes with a tray of tea in her hands. She kept the tray aside and wiped his forehead with the tissue that she had brought along with tea and cookies. "Dreaming about me?" She aske
