She looked at him with fear in her eyes. His lips were twisted from the sides making the cruel intentions in him stand out. Her hands were shaking. His hands were on her waist preventing her from falling down. As he saw how terrified she was. He looked at her softly. “What is wrong, My sweet?”Her lips were shaking. She did not know why she was so scared but the idea of her going out on his so-called ‘honeymoon’ terrified her to her guts. He brushed her hair that covered her face as he cupped her cheeks. Leaving a soft peck on her nose, he smiled against it. “If not a honeymoon, we must go out for some shopping.” He said and picked her up. He carried her to the library and he made her sit down on one of the couches. “Tell me, what do you want to read?”She was looking at him with no words. Her silence did not satisfy him. He walked up to one of the libraries and took one book out. Sitting beside her he gave her the book. “Read it. Relax. We’ll go out in the evening.”He said as he
Bullets were shooting through all directions as he made her duck inside a clothing shop and guarded her with a gun from his waist. She was petrified at the sight. Three men were shooting from the other side as the other one saw her in the shop. Zohan was shooting, making bullets shower before him. He looked behind now and then to see if she is safe. When he looked behind again, he didn’t see her.“Gloria,” He whispered. Putting the gun in his back he ducked down and dialled a number. “Shootting right at my location, send bridges.” Bridges was the code name for the army of weaponry.He cut the call and by leaving them to Carol and his men and the troop that’s about to come, he frantically searched for her. Shooting and ducking now and then, he looked back. He realized a few of them were gone from the shooting and they weren’t dead. “Shit,” He cursed under his breath. She had been taken. After a few minutes, the shootings intensified as the Bridges came. But then later it completely
“I have never seen a bait so beautiful.” The sound of a deep voice resonated from above the attic. Gloria who was sitting on the floor of the attic at one corner on top of the dust bed, looking miserable, looked up. A man looking down at her from above leaning against the railing. His eyes were not smiling but his mouth has turned up. There was a shadow casting on his face. Making half of his face not seen. In an elegant way, he made his way downstairs. Gloria scooted back. Why was she taken here? Who was he? Many thoughts circled in her head but she was unable to comprehend any of them as fear engulfed her. As he reached his final step, he was merely a few feet away from her. Gloria looked at him closely. His hair was dusted with a light blonde color and the length of it had reached the back of his neck. He wore a white shirt that tightly hugged his body as his muscles were visible. He approached her slowly. Gloria prayed for the world to swallow her at this point. She was so s
The sound of an immense blast from the car I abandoned a few moments ago made me realize the monsters had discovered me. My hands went numb from the cold and my lips turned blue. I couldn’t walk nor crouch here behind this ragged dustbin any longer because if I moved, they’d shoot me. I breathed as slowly as I could. Making sure they don’t hear me. I peaked a little. They were searching for me like dogs, looking through the alleys one by one. Before one of their gazes settled on the dustbin that was my shield, I immediately shoved myself back and closed my mouth with my hands. I prayed silently they didn’t find me. A few moments ago I was buying books. And now I am hiding from strangers who were trying to catch me. The moment I got out of the bookshop, a bunch of vans pulled up from behind me and tried to kidnap me. Before they could I kicked my way out of them and started my car but I was too late. They dragged me out by my arm. I offered money and they refused to say what they n
I supposed it was this whole incident that was driving me crazy because my legs were continuously shaking under the table. Josh was sitting right in front of me. Kye was nowhere to be seen. He was probably drooling in sleep while Josh was here trying to talk. After Kye and Josh were done talking and showering, Josh called me downstairs saying he has something important to talk about. What’s going on? I beg to know. Josh wasn’t being like himself and that was scaring me. “Are you hurt anywhere?” He asked as his arms were crossed over one another and his legs were continuously shaking. Damn. That’s what he is asking me after all this time. “No, not really. What about you? And who are those people? Why did they try to kidnap me?” I was in haste in case I lose my mind. He grinned usually, “I have a debt. I thought you should know about this.” “What debt?” “A few years ago, when I lost my first job I had to invest some money to start my new business. And at that time my pocket b
I have to keep myself guarded if I were to go to a party of the Evans. I have hated that man since my father formed a treaty between our families. His arrogance was impotent and so was he. His daughter was the one to throw a party during this winter season. I had worked with an excuse that I won’t be able to go but my father was so very adamant about making me attend this time-wasting spot. I felt he had the idea of trying to wed me off with someone like her. I’d rather throw her off a cliff than marry her because the world would be benefitted from it. Man, what a leech she is. Mira Evan.I sighed. Thankfully the car was moving slowly. That gave me some time to arrange my thoughts before we reach the party. I slid down deeper into the seat. I was tired of this and even more tired of these stupid parties. “Young Master, we are here.” I remained calm and got out. I can’t believe the speed of this whole thing when I don’t even want it to happen. The guards stood broadly as I entered
The mall was huge. Oversized corridors, hallways, and expensive branded markets shone the area lavishly. I looked around. I can’t believe Ojai had this side as well. Along with beautiful nature and mountains with vintage shops, small markets, and houses, there was a jaw-dropping townsite that looked no different than Tokyo. Nabi dragged me a little far than where we lived to do some shopping as I promised her. She kept dragging me here to there to buy me things. “Damn, it’s expensive,” I whispered to her showing her a flannel. She waved me off. “It’s meant to be, man. Try this.” She handed me a dress and shoved me to the fitting room. I sighed and took off my dress. Trying on the sleeveless dress with a beautifully embroidered chest I looked at myself. I smiled. “Pretty,” Though the dress was kind of tight and my skin was mostly showing I didn’t mind it. I grew up wearing baggy jeans and clothes and dresses only for occasions so wearing a pretty dress after a long time made me fe
The water was boiling. I spaced out moments ago. The onions were stinging my eyes. Though I stopped cutting them now. I broke out of my daze after the sound of the knife falling off of my hands resonated in the kitchen. Sighing, I picked it up and put it on the counter. I turned the stove off as the soup was ready. Placing it on a bowl I took it in front of the man who came in a few moments ago to take shelter from the rain. The storm was rising. Nabi told me that she will be staying at a friend's house today. Meanwhile, this mysterious man that I met a few times sipped the soup. He smiled and put it down. “I realized, I didn’t give you my name yet.” He said. “Yeah,” I said. “Well, I am Gloria Hensler.”“I am Zohan.” He simply said. He took another sip. Though my anxiety was eating me up from the inside I tried my best to remain indifferent. I made a mental note to review that envelope sent to me and hide it from Nabi. I can’t let her know about this. I remained quiet at the so
