All Chapters of Ashes Between Us!: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Author's POVEmerald came back home, frustrated and furious because Egon had clearly threatened her. She wants to go but she shouldn't. For the first time in her life, she wished she hadn't been a queen, so there wouldn't have been any complications between them. Her bodyguards were literally sweating while following her. Egon had made everyone unconscious, and no one knows what happened after that. Emerald hasn't said a word after they came back to their senses. As soon as she entered the house, her family got up. "What happened there?"Her father questioned. He didn't look worried; instead, he looked offended. Emerald took a deep breath to control her anger and tried to walk away. "I asked you something, I am still your father."Emerald stopped and glared at him. "We played hockey when everyone was unconscious..."She snapped at him."Are you okay, my child?"Bertha questioned in a gentle tone. "We heard, everyone was unconscious...""Don't try to be my mother because you a

Present!! Author's POVEmerald looked at her bandaged hand with a bitter smile. "How does it feel to bandage after making it bleed?"Egon got up. "Ask yourself! You are a player in that field.""I never wanted to do that."She hissed at him. "Enough!"He slammed his hands on the armrest of her chair. She flinched under his furious voice. "Enough of your fucking madness... I don't care what you say, I don't give a fuck about what you thought or wanted... The reality is, you killed my family while faking your feelings for me. You used my feelings to destroy me and you can't change that... You are a fucked woman and that's the reason why no one ever loved you... You love to destroy people who love you..."Emerald just stared at him. Did his words hurt her? Yes! Did she show it on his face? No! Was he wrong? No! It's hurtful, but she has done that; she has always hurt the people who tried to love her. Whether it's Ruby or Egon. Egon said that out of anger but felt little regret

Egon's POV Does money buy happiness? The answer is debatable but I can assure you that you can cry in luxury when you have it. Pain becomes a trend when you are rich. I have grown up in luxury but was I ever happy? Well, the answer is in the middle of yes and no. The woman sitting beside me was my happiness at one time; today, she is the reason for my pain. But the fucked up thing is, I am still trying to find the happiness in her. Happiness in her presence, in her bitter words, in her cries and sassy replies. I want to hurt her and protect her at the same time, I want to hate and love her at the same time, I want to kill and keep her alive at the same time. She is the definition of my fucked up life. My eyes admired her beauty, she is breathtaking, brave and smart, what else does a man need in life when he has a woman like her?. Emerald was always my weakness; I knew that I couldn't kill her the moment I saw her. Something moved in my heart like it knew that she was the one.

Author's POVEmerald panicked as he pushed her into the front seat and started driving the car. She rubbed her face with trembling hands and pushed back her hair. She has no idea why she went with that man for a dance. She doesn't know how it happened. She looked at Egon, his deadly eyes staring at the road ahead. Veins on the forehead were popping out furiously. His hold on the steering wheel was turning red. Jaw was hard, like he would break it. She realised that she had fucked up badly. "You said, now we don't have anything between us..."She said tensely. "Why are you angry that I danced with another man?"He didn't respond, and that made her heart hammer. She shouldn't have said that because he was beyond pissed. She has fucked up many times in one night. She can't escape from him, but keeps making futile attempts because she needs to escape from him. This toxic chain will not break if she stays around him. She knows that she is only adding to her problems with this, but

Author's POVEmerald was still staring at Layla for more explanation because she couldn't understand if Egon really wanted to lock her in his room or if she had misheard Layla. Layla cleared her throat. "That's all I know!"She hurriedly walked out of the room and closed the door. Emerald tried to open the door but Layla had locked it. She turned around and leaned on the door, defeated. She was in a robe, her hair was dripping, and her legs were hurting. She was too exhausted to do anything, so she just went towards the bed and lay down. She hugged the pillow and closed her eyes. She wouldn't have minded if this had happened a few months back. That phase was the only time when she was genuinely happy, and destiny couldn't see that.#Flashback.... #"Damn, this man!..."Emerald cursed looking at herself in the mirror. "How am I supposed to hide this?"She tapped the foundation on her neck to hide dark love bites. She sighed and shook her head, smiling with a red blush. It was d
