The huge ground of the town's one of the most prestigious colleges was crowded with students as usual. Some were talking and laughing, some were rushing for their classes. Almost everyone was busy with their own matters until that roaring sound of the car resonated loudly, gaining every single pair of eyes attention towards it.
That luxuriously beautiful car entered into the premises of the college. Its matte black colour gleamed up as the rays of the sun fell over it. Some eyes turned wide in fascination, some filled with desire and even some mouths got open but there was not a single person who didn't look at it.
The car halted and then everyone saw its door getting opened and the person driving it came out but it didn't shock anyone by watching the owner of that car because most of the students had already anticipated who would be the owner of that expensive car….the one and only ZIA ALCAZAR…the only daughter of Zale Alcazar and Celia Alcazar. She was the sole inheritor of the country's one of the wealthiest and successful corporations…..The Alcazar Corporations. Her father, Zale Alcazar was one of the most powerful personalities and businessmen in the country. Any person would think twice before crossing his or his family's path, let alone getting in their bad books.
"Wow….Zia. Nice car," one of the students praised while gazing at the car which made a smile form on its owner's rosy plumpy lips.
"Thanks, Garrett. My dad gifted me this today as my 21st birthday present," she answered, both proud and joyful.
"Wow…the perks of being the only heiress of the Alcazar's,"
That voice from behind made her turn around.
"Riley…." She rolled her azure eyes at her best friend who was practically drooling over her car.
"You lucky bitch…happy birthday," Riley hugged her 21 years old best friend, Zia, making her chuckle.
"Thank you so much, Rey," she replied, beaming. Both the friends pulled apart.
"Hey! I forgot to wish you. Happy birthday, Zia and you really got an amazing birthday gift, girl,"
"Thanks, Garrett," she thanked her college mate.
"Okay now let's go before we turn late for our first class,"
Zia bobbed her head at her best friend, Riley after hearing her.
"Okay bye bye, Garrett. I will see you tonight at my birthday party," she flashed him a wink and then left from there with her friend.
"No, Zia…seriously. Your car is just…wow. I don't have words to describe how beautiful it is,"
She giggled hearing Riley. Both the girls were heading towards their classroom.
"Happy birthday, Zia," the students and college mates were wishing her on her way and she continued to thank them with a smile because almost all the college knew that today was her 21st birthday as Zia Alcazar was a famous name and she had invited almost half of the college campus in her birthday celebration party tonight which she used to do every year on her birthday.
"But last week, your mom denied that she won't let you buy this car as you have bought a car a couple of months ago then how?" Riley asked, entering the classroom with her friend.
Zia chuckled at her words and then placed her bag on the desk. She sat on the desk as Riley sat on the bench before her.
"All thanks to my dad. He persuaded her and my beautiful mum can defy herself for once but when it comes to my dad, his one smile and pleading puppy eyes is enough to make her anger melt like an ice cream," Zia stated. Both the girls chortled.
"You mum and dad are really very crazy in love kind of couple because whenever I see them together, their love for each other is always evident in their eyes, especially when they both look at each other. Their love story is kind of fantasy and dreamy which every person would like to have,"
"No second thoughts about it," Zia smiled at her friend.
"I also want a love story like theirs. They are my love idols,"
Riley spinned her eyes at her friend after hearing her.
"You are already living that love life of yours with your knight in shining armour Mr Dylan Karlson, Zia,"
Zia chuckled and got down on her feet. She joined her friend on the bench and bumped her shoulder with hers.
"You sound jealous, Riley Hart," she teased her, earning an ugly glare from Riley.
"I am not jealous of you and your CEO charming prince. Besides, my taste is a bit different,"
"Yeah…yeah…your so-called taste of getting whipped for arrogant and rude men who will dominate you like you're their possession," Zia uttered with a scoff.
"I can never cope with that. I will slit that throat which would even dare to raise its voice at me, let alone throwing orders at me,"
Riley's brows wiggled in disapproval at Zia's words.
"I hate dominating men," Zia concluded their conversation. Riley sighed and chuckled.
"Fine, nobody is telling you to love a dominating man and you don't even have to worry about it because your Dylan seems like a very sweet and gentleman kind of a guy," Riley sniggered.
"And that is why, he is my man," Zia showed her tongue to Riley which made both the girls laugh and then their professor entered the classroom.
After getting done with their class, Zia took out her phone from her bag and saw her boyfriend, Dylan's 2 missed calls. She called him back but he didn't pick up.
"Hey! what happened?" Riley asked her.
"Nothing. Just Dylan called me but my phone was silent during the class and now he's not picking up," she answered and again dialled his number.
Zia heard the phone ringing and almost at the last ring, the call got connected.
"Hello, Dylan. I was…"
"Mr Karlson is busy in his meeting right now. Once he will get done with it, I will inform him about your phone call, Miss Alcazar," a female voice replied from the other side.
Zia's jaw clenched just by hearing that voice and recognising who that person was. She instantly hung up the call and slammed her phone on the desk.
"Hey! What's wrong, Zi?"
"That bimbo, Chloe picked up the call and told me Dylan is busy in his some meeting," she snarled, making Riley sigh.
"Chloe is his secretary, Zi so it's a normal thing," Riley tried to make her understand but Zia was still gawking at her phone.
"You know that Dylan and Chloe are used to be just classmates before she applied for his secretary's post and got selected,"
"I do know everything, Rey but it just…." Zia paused and looked at Riley, still angrily.
"I still can't forget that day…."
FLASHBACK OF TWO YEARS AGO
19 years old, Zia was sitting in one of the benches of her college's playground and was staring at her 21 years old bff, Dylan Karlson who was playing basketball with his friends and she was cheering for him and his team. He was her senior in college.
A smile was playing over her lips as she saw him turning towards her and winked at her before shoving the ball in the goalpost because Dylan and she had done a bet that if he won that practice match then she would have to fulfil any one of his wish and if he lost, she could ask him to do anything and he couldn't deny it. She and Dylan had a 2 years age gap but they were inseparable from their childhood. She had practically grown up with him because her father, Zale Alcazar and his father, Reid Karlson were very close friends and business associates and in all these years, their families had grown a very close relationship with each other too.
Zia had always found Dylan by her side. He was just not her best friend but her very first friend, companion and crush too. In all these years, her feelings for him had turned a lot deeper than just friendship. She felt like she was falling for him and the thing was, she knew his feelings for her were also more than just friendship but none of them had tried to take the first step yet.
Although by watching their closeness and compatibility, their entire college campus believed that they both were dating each other and very few people knew it was just limited to friendship by now but they both were really protective of each other and had never even tried to deny the rumours of being in a relationship. It was not a yes but not a no either.
Zia was cheering for Dylan as he was playing when suddenly her ears caught the conversation of a group of girls who were standing behind her.
"Yeah….he is really very handsome and on adition, soon going to be the CEO of Karlson's so why won't any girl fell for him,"
Her brows furrowed listening to those words. She turned around and got closer towards those girls.
"Hey, Samantha. Mind if I join?"
"No, it's okay. Come," one among the girls in the group, Samantha replied because Zia's family name was one of her greatest advantages.
"What were you all talking about Dylan?" She asked them, curious. They all knew she was Dylan's best and closest friend.
"You are not aware of it, Zia?" Samantha gave her a disbelieving look, turning Zia more confused.
"About what?"
"Chloe, our college's famous beauty and drama queen is going to propose Dylan right now on this basketball ground after his match,"
That revelation froze Zia for a second.
"Look at there," Samantha pointed her index finger in a direction and Zia's eyes followed her finger.
"Chloe and her minions are standing there and are waiting for this match to get ended so that she can confess her love to Dylan in front of everyone,"
Zia dug her nails in her palms by watching that girl, Chloe who was Dylan's classmate and one of the meanest girls in the entire campus. She was even a very good friend of Dylan and it never got well with Zia because she didn't like sharing her anything with anyone, not even her friends…let alone the person she was falling for. That red rose on Chloe's hand and smile on her face worked as a fuel in Zia's anger.
Zia immediately stood up on her feet and started looking here and there until her eyes didn't fall on that rose blooming in one of the flowerpots. She ran towards it and without caring about anything or anyone, she plucked it and ran back towards the ground.
Dylan glanced at her one last time before making another goal and writing the victory on his and his team's name. Dylan was hugging his team members but his eyes were searching for her and then he finally saw her running towards him.
Detaching himself away from everyone, he dashed towards her and opened his arms for her. Zia threw her arms around him and practically jumped over him which made him hold her tightly.
"I am so proud of you, Dylan…"she uttered to him, making him chuckle. He pulled back and squeezed her cheeks.
"Now I won and you have to fulfil one of my wishes, so …..are you ready, Miss favourite?" He used to tease her with that name because wherever she used to go, she used to become everyone's favourite including his too.
Zia flashed him a big grin before nodding. Dylan was about to ask her something but got stunned when she pecked his lips all of a sudden.
"I love you, Dylan…."
Dylan's eyes widened when she uttered those words to him and then extended that rose towards him.
"I started falling for you when we both used to be childhood buddies," she swallowed, not because she was nervous but because of all those stares over them and besides, she had never done it for anyone before.
"I love you. Will you be my boyfriend from my best friend?"
Dylan was bewildered but it didn't shock him that much because they both were aware of their feelings for each other but he had never thought she would take the first step like this…on an above in front of so many people.
Dylan took the rose from her hand and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I would love to love you, my favourite,"
His answer widened her smile and then Dylan pecked her lips which made the students around them cheered and clapped for them.
Zia giggled whereas Dylan smiled and pulled her into a tight hug. She also wrapped her arms around his back and then looked at that person standing at a distance who was gazing at them with her teary eyes.
Zia tightened her arms around him and witnessed a tear rolling down from Chloe's cheeks and that rose fell from her hand as she was watching them together.
A grin formed on Zia's face by watching Chloe turning around and running away from there because for her, that was Chloe's punishment for even thinking about taking something which was her.
"I love you,"
She heard Dylan whispering in her ear. She tittered before pressing her lips against his and answering back.
"I love you too…."
FLASHBACK ENDS
"Let's go inside, Zia. Mom will be so happy to see you," Riley uttered, opening the passenger seat's door of Zia's car. After getting done with their classes, Zia dropped Riley to her home."Sorry, Rey but I am going to meet Dylan so I will meet aunty in the evening at the party," she flashed her an apologetic smile. Riley nodded in understanding."Fine, I will see you in the evening at your birthday party. See ya…" Riley said, earning a nod from Zia. Riley waved at her after getting out of the car and then Zia drove away.She stopped her car in front of Karlson's Company because Zia decided to surprise Dylan with her presence in his workplace. She was habitual of doing it as she had surprised him like that before many times.Opening her car's door, she stepped out of it. She was about to walk inside the building but stopped when she remembered something. She again twirled around and opened her car's door. She grabbed the red rose which she had bought for him on her way to his compa
"This dress is so beautiful, dad. Thank you so much for this," Zia spoke to her father while hugging him. She wore her birthday dress which her parents gifted her as another present for her birthday."It's looking beautiful because my Zia has worn it," her father, Zale, said to her with a smile after pulling back from their hug. She was her dad's princess and her father considered her as the biggest blessing of his life. He believed in fulfilling her every wish and happiness before she could even ask for it."Okay, I am going to greet the guests with your dad," her mother, Cia, told her, who was there to help her in getting ready for her birthday party along with her aunt Violet and friend Riley. Zia bobbed her head in response to her mother."I am coming too. You both finish doing your hair, then come out, okay?" Zia's aunt, Violet, uttered to both Zia and her friend Riley and then she and Zia's parents left from Zia's room, leaving the two best friends alone.Her parents and aunt we
"And this is our top floor," Zia said to him. She was giving him a tour of her house for the past 10 minutes and finally they reached the highest floor of the manor. She stretched her head to look at him but like usual there was no expression in his eyes which were on her and not a single word came from his mouth. She was with him for more than 10 minutes now but she didn't hear him speaking even for once and that thing made her conclude that he couldn't speak but if that was the case then Dylan or her dad must have told her so he could speak then why he was not talking to her but just staring at her like that…yeah…that weird creature didn't even try to hide the fact he was staring at her because everytime she looked at him, she caught him gazing at her. He didn't even feel hesitant to make it so obvious. How rude and disrespectful? But she sighed and decided to end that tour as soon as possible because that weird creature was giving her unusual vibes which she didn't like."There's
Storming back inside the party after her encounter with him at that balcony, Zia got bumped with Riley. "You're finally here. Where were you for almost half an hour? Your parents were looking for you, Zi…" Riley halted by witnessing that frown on Zia's face. "Zia, what's wrong?" Zia opened her mouth to answer but stopped when her gaze fell on that green eyes creature entering into the hall again. His eyes were already on her which made her grit her teeth. Confused, Riley followed Zia's angry glare's direction and saw that man which widened her eyes. "Hey! Zia, look. It was that handsome man about whom I was talking about," Zia's scowl deepened hearing Riley's words, especially after understanding to whom she was referring. She clenched her jaw. "From which angle he is looking handsome to you, Riley?" Zia spat at her friend. Riley gave her a stunned look before answering. "From each and every angle," Riley's answer bursted out the volcano inside Zia but Riley didn't understand
Clad in a skin fit off shoulder top and ankle length jeans, she was combing her light brown hair. "Perfect," she dropped the comb and took a glance at her in the mirror in front of her. Her pale face wore no layer of makeup but just a rosy lip tint which enhanced her plumpy lips even more. Her open hair had a natural bounce and a wavy look.She took a look in her wrist watch and her eyes widened. It was already 8. She was getting late for dinner with Dylan and his family. Grabbing her car keys and crop jacket from the bed, she ran out of her room.It took her almost half an hour to reach Dylan's home. She parked her car in front of his villa and immediately a guard came and opened the door for her. "Good evening, Miss Alcazar," he greeted her with a gentle bow. She smiled and greeted him back and then stepped inside the house."Look who is finally here. Our Alcazar princess,"Zia giggled hearing Dylan's father, Reid Karlson, who always used to treat her like his own child from her c
For a hot second, Zia felt like her heart skipped a beat just by looking into those verdant eyes of his but she shook herself and stepped back, creating the rational distance between their bodies. He didn't say anything but just gazed at her every action thoroughly. "What happened to you?" She asked him, concerned but in return saw him tossing his head and looked at his car which had gotten bumped against that streetlight's post. She slightly narrowed her eyes at him when he again turned around to look at her because she understood he was making fun of her question. "I mean…how did this happen?" She uttered, irritated a bit. His lips twitched into an almost invisible grin but her gaze was sharp enough to watch it. "Maybe because this town doesn't like my presence in it that well, including its streets and people," he answered, surpassing his grin. Zia's jaw set at his answer because she knew exactly what he meant by his words. "Then I guess you should leave this town before it e
He touched her for the very first time and it made her feel so many things and they were so terrifying that it scared her. The shipping of their skins felt nefariously igniting.Damien grabbed her wrist in a gentle hold and started pulling her closer. To her own surprise, she followed him with no defiance like her body had become his slave and her defier.After removing the sane distance between them, she took her watery eyes up where Damien saw a warm fat tear trickling down her slightly pink cheeks which faded his anger. His gaze softened as he saw those beautiful sapphire eyes glistening with tears because he considered those eyes as his entire life. In those crystalline blue orbs, he believed his entire life was living.More tears started falling from her eyes as she saw him staring at her like that, like she was the most relevant person of his life. Nobody had even looked at her like that, not even Dylan. No stare had ever made her feel so needed the way his gaze was making her f
The growling sound of the clouds roaring and heavy rainfall was turning everything more passionate and sinful between those bare shipping bodies. Her arms were holding his naked back whereas her nails were scratching his skin harshly everytime she felt him hitting her on her pleasure point. Her azure eyes were shimmering with tears of ecstasy which were gazing into those alluringly darkened green eyes of his which were hovering over her. "Aah…please," she whimpered in pleasure when he deepened the penetration more by lifting her waist a bit and increased his pace more. Tears started rolling down from the corner of her eyes as she felt herself losing in him. It was feeling so beautiful, so alluring the way he was ruining her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and tangled her fingers in between his hair. Her warm and sensitive walls clenched around his hardened and thick girth, causing him to swell up more inside her. She was him clenching his jaw as he rutted her mercilessly w
