All Chapters of Torn Apart By Fate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Sarah’s smile gradually froze. A fluttering emotion instantly invaded her body. He actually smiled! It was the first time she’d seen his teeth! They were as white as milk and so perfectly aligned. When he smiled, his eyes looked tinier, hiding the steely grey, turning them into a light transparent ones. How gorgeous! She goggled in amazement. However, a knock at the door unfroze her back to reality. Sarah alarmingly sat upright on the bed while Devlin went to open the door, his face once again rigid and the mask was back.''Here,” the old woman came forward in the room, holding a tray of plates and cups in one hand and in the other one, there was a pile of clothing. She smiled at Sarah which she shyly returned it.Devlin grimaced at her expression before he closed the door again. The woman put the trays on the table and came to sit beside Sarah on the bed, her eyes filled with concern.''Are you alright, my child?'' Her eyes reflected her words.''Yes, thank you. I-I-rest a little bi

There, once the door closed behind them, Devlin faced Sarah and explained,''Right now, I have to go out. I will do it quite frequently and I need your cooperation, Sarah.”Sarah could feel her body shaking with almost uncontrollable rage! She kept avoiding his gaze until he grasped her chin firmly with one hand, boring his grey menacing eyes into hers. He commanded whisperingly, ''Promise me that you will stay safe here, will you?”Feeling uncomfortable, Sarah knocked his hand off and stepped back, creating distance between them.''Damn it, Tiger!'' She shouted in a sudden fury, “don't pretend that you care about me when you don't! Earlier you were restless when you can't find me because you thought I escaped again! The same- when you noticed my notepad, you thought I was writing some letters or whatever. I noticed it all, all! God knows what you have in that damned mind of yours!'' Her words struck him right across the face and he flinched. Devlin’s heart sank down in guilt. He wa

It was an angry, savage kiss, deeply insulting in its violation of her senses. Her fists beat helplessly against his broad chest as Sarah fought and struggled to escape the iron grip of his arms, the scorching heat of his mouth. Only when she was exhausted by her efforts to free herself, no longer able to fight his superior strength, did he lift his mouth from her bruised lips. Her eyes were brimming over with tears as she shook her head distractedly, trying to clear her dazed and shocked mind. Taking her chin in one hand, Devlin raised her head to meet his eyes, but his expression changed when he saw tears rolling down her cheeks. Struck with shame, Sarah squirmed away from him and rushed onto the terrace.In the cold night, she laid for a very long time, staring blankly into the space, her body tortured and racked with pain as the humiliating tears came down uncontrollably, wetting and leaving stream marks on her cheeks. She had no idea why she was crying. The only thing she knew w

Throughout the whole week, they spent their days in training and Sarah deliciously enjoyed it! Only the first day of the training Devlin went out in the afternoon but the next days, he stayed with Sarah, whether he liked it or whether he was here only to make sure she kept her mouth shut, God knows.What Sarah learnt was, during these days, she was growing fonder and closer to him. She had completely migrated to a different world where her past didn’t exist, her parents completely faded and the only character in this world was none but Devlin. Not that she didn’t think and miss her parents, of course she did, quite often but she’d pushed them at the back of her head, promising herself that she was only going to enjoy the moment and not worry about anything else. She knew for sure her parents and the police were looking for her, and she knew as well that Devlin or herself must have had unconsciously left clues about their surrounding. Thus, sooner or later, she was going to leave Devli

After a while, Sarah decided to go upstairs and slump on the bed. Trying hard to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall, she heard Anne and Sean chatting downstairs. So they were back, she sighed a relief, at least she was not alone anymore although the loneliness in her chest seemed to press on her even more.Soon after, a sudden silence filled the house. Trying to harken what was going on, the next instant, the door of the room flew open, presenting a restless and breathless Devlin. Sarah immediately sprouted on her feet. She gasped as she looked at him. Her heart started to palpitate alarmingly.One hour earlier, Devlin received a message from Jordan, asking him to meet up urgently. The last time they met was two weeks back , on the first day of Sarah's training. That day, the two friends parted on not a very good term. Devlin was very furious at Jordan as he was wrong, very wrong about Sarah. It had been two days since their last training and these questions kept on cl
