View MoreThe days passed in a blur, as he was busy with his office work while she ran back and forth between her classes and completing assignments. Her internship was coming up and she was really worried about it. She didn't decide yet which hospital would be best suited for her. But she had a month to decide so she convinced herself not to worry much about that and enjoy her semester break which was going to start next week. After all these assignments and tests drained her badly. It was this beautiful hazy evening, she sat on the couch completing her administration of the psychology test as her brows creased in confusion. Lara came in the living room with a cup of coffee while she played with the lead pencil between her lips, trying to figure out the scoring. "Would you like to have lunch yet?" Lara asked her politely to which she denied politely, making an excuse she was not hungry yet. In fact, she wanted to eat with Bernard and was awaiting his arrival. It was quite late than usual a
He booked a 7 day trip to Bora Bora with the help of his secretary. From making reservations in the 5 star hotel to whatever their 7 day trip included, everything was arranged beforehand. He knew he had to buy a million dollar ring now to propose to her.Veronica's semester was almost ending and she was preparing for her final exams. So he prepared the trip accordingly as they would leave during her semester break. She had no idea what was going on in his mind while he was so worried about everything, he wanted this surprise to be perfect. Today, all of a sudden he decided to pick her up after university. He wanted to take her shopping so she could buy some clothes as she had a very poor collection of her own and she never accepted anything from him. Even though Bernard was aware that she would deny this offer, he wanted to take a chance. "What are you doing here?" She exclaimed as soon she saw him getting out of the car and coming towards her. All the girls and boys were staring at
"you must be tired, ask Lara to give you food!" He ignored her question as if she never asked in the first place. "I'm asking did you cry? Why your eyes...." She stepped forward and tried to touch him but he grabbed her hand midway. "Don't act as if you care for me Veronica....." His voice was utterly painful and she could see right through him, how miserable and exhausted he was. "I do care for you!" She declared in a loud voice as her own eyes teared up. "You don't.....you don't. You wouldn't have left me all alone if you cared even a little. You know how much I love you, yet you did" he struggled to control his tears but still they glistened on the brink of his eyes. "I do care for you! Please don't say that" She started crying as she hugged him, hid her face in the crook of his neck, pulling him close to herself. His warm tears dripped in her hair as he didn't know how to respond. He loved her, so much that it was hurting now. He pulled her tighter so she could feel it in h
A man was tied to the chair, dripping in blood from head to toe. His nails seemed to be plucked out, the man was dizzy and nauseous as Bernard had a knife in his hand. He immediately turned around as he was forced to look at who opened the door without his permission. As soon as he saw Veronica standing in the doorway, he closed his eyes momentarily to sweep away the frustration and that deadly look in his eyes. "What are you doing here?" He asked rather casually as he placed the knife on the table and started washing his hands in the nearest sink while not looking at her. "Who is he? Why are you doing this to him?" She shouted as she tried to get closer to the man but another bodyguard stood in her way. Blocking her from getting too close to him. She looked at Bernard in disappointment while she frowned. Bernard wiped his hands with the towel as he walked in her direction and grabbed her hand while he walked out of the room. He took her into another room and shut the door with a
After they came back from Aunt Clarissa's house, they had the weekday lined up. He had so much work to do and she had her pending assignments and exams. It was a regular Monday and she was busy in the library, working on the computer in a hurry. She had to submit the report before 06:00 pm. Her fingers aggressively moved on the keyboard as her eyes focused on the screen. She had to complete it early before going to her job as she didn't have much time left. It took her 30 minutes to complete it and as she soon clicked the button of submission, she sighed leaning back in her seat. She closed her eyes temporarily as it had been a tough struggle and she finally got over it. To her surprise someone passed her a cold coffee. As soon she looked up to see the owner, her eyes widened in horror. Sam smiled at her and pointed the drink at her again. She stood abruptly, tossing the drink away harshly. It fell on the floor and spilled few metres away. He was shocked by her reaction while she
She was leaning on to the washbasin counter, watching herself in the mirror. She knew why Bernard bought her here, to get the approval of his Aunt Clarissa so they could get married. But she was not ready yet!She didn't know why she felt so uneasy about marriage, facing failure all her life, she was scared to give birth to a child. She had this belief that she will never be a good mother and that's why bearing a child was a nightmare for her. She was jumbled up in her thoughts when she was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door. Bernard stepped in, with his hawk-like eyes on her. "You took a long time" he said with a low voice as he stepped towards her, while closing the door firmly on his back. "I was just coming" She replied but he covered the distance between them in two strides, as his hand travelled up to her face and fisted her hair.
