Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Contractual Love : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Kian’s POV: Final release of the soundtrack for Mr.Backer’s movie was near. My work had increased and my health was disturbed. I had to work whole day to review all samples and finally select the one to be in the final project. It was hectic. Somedays I would drink black coffee all day. I was skipping my workout sessions. Many days my sleep was almost zero. Even if I did sleep for sometime it was disturbed. Well, it was not the first time. I had to assure the quality. I was not ready to compromise my work at any cost. Media was also curious about my next album. I hadn’t even started working on it yet. To be honest, I wasn’t even ready for it. There was nothing in my mind about it. Everyone was expecting a romantic one from me. Even if I wanted to, there was nothing I could write about it. Because I was clueless. What love is? So, I was putting all of my energy into the current project. It was the right thing to do. Maybe, after clearing my mind from it I would be able to think a

Irene's POV:“Woah, Professor Matteo shocked all of us,” Ben’s voice was surprised.“I am just thankful.” I replied.“He seemed to have a soft spot for you,” he said monotonously.“Soft spot? I don't think so. Maybe he was just not feeling like punishing anyone today,” I guessed.“Yeah, that could be…anything .”Actually I was uninterested in that matter. My mind was somewhere else. I was not worried, just confused. About thousands of useless thoughts were roaming in my head. The door knocked and I opened it immediately,“Hey!” Raven greeted me warmly.“Hi”He gave me the food package. I took it,“Sorry, I couldn't come tomorrow,” he apologised“It’s okay,” I smiled.“Did everything go well with him?” He asked sheepishly.“Yeah, but he had a headache,” the information I provided him was not necessary. “Oh, migraine. He doesn't listen to me when I tell him to stop drinking the coffee,” his tone was annoyed.“He seemed stressed. I made him a herbal tea. He looked better. We had dinner

Kian’s POVI was a bit worried when the door didn’t open after the third timeI knocked. So I called her name. I heard nothing from the other side. Before I could knock again with a bit more force. The door opened, a little aggressively. I saw her standing in front of me. “What were you doing? I was-,” as my eyes observed a bit more she was panting and there was bruise on the side of her lips. I forgot what I was saying. “Kian,” her voice was breathy and quivery. I didn’t like that. The way my heart thumped like it was coming out of my chest at the sight of her reddened eye due to the pool of tears in there. Her breath hitched again. And the overloading of tears, came out of her eyes. I blinked softly. I took a step forward. I felt her hitting my chest as she shoved her body into me. Wrapping her arms tightly around me. Her face hid in my arms. A loud sob left her body. As she let herself loose. My arms came behind her back. Her body was trembling now. I was totally clueless of what

Kian’s POV:The night was filled with many emotions. All those moments, I did things when I was not thinking straight. Many words were said without thinking twice. Still, so much felt un-spoked. A lot of things happened last night. But it ended. The dark night ended. And I woke up, with her in my arms. The sight was heavenly. Her skin was translucent. She slept like a baby. Like she didn’t cry so much last night. Sun was peeking through her window. The bed was small, but I was unexpectedly comfortable. My body felt so light. And I realised how tense it was. I needed that. I needed to Loosen myself up. By sleeping beside her?Tucking her hair behind her ear, I got a clearer view. She was still sleeping. A glance at the wall clock told me it was eleven. I didn’t remember when I slept last night but I was sure it was late. I slipped out my hand, that was caging her waist. I was careful, also she was a heavy sleeper, something I remembered from the time we were in Ashwell. Separating my

Kian’s POV:The place was calm. Lanterns were the only source of light. Curtains were flying along the breeze. It was perfect. I didn’t praise Raven for that. But the place he chose was very good. A whole personal place booked for the two of us, along the River Thames. A shelter covered with lanterns on the inside was the only roof at the top of me. A table and two chairs. Contrasting the whole theme. Intoxicating smell of lavender lingering around.I was dressed all in black. My suite was also selected by Raven. I trusted him. Also, after observing the whole arrangement I was actually feeling proud of him. Sitting on the metal chair, I waited for her. I did imagine a lot, how she would look in a fancy dress. My head snapped, at the car that stopped at some distance. And  the back door opened. She appeared from it. Again, Raven surprised  me by matching our outfits. She was dressed in all black. Her hair was parted to the sid
