It's been two years since he has gone to study abroad. I still remember the day when I came to live in this house after my parent's death. I still remember the day when he suddenly bragged inside my room. I was in shocked because of his sudden appearance in my room. He locks the door and started coming near me with a pissed face. I knew that I was in danger by looking at his angry face. I knew that I should run away at this moment and hide somewhere but I can't move my body. Bloody hell, my body is held by the cold gaze of his blue sea-colored eyes. With long steps, he was coming towards me and in flash of seconds, he was in front of me. He grabbed my hair making me look into his eyes, my eyes were close afraid of meeting his cold stare. The next word's from his mouth made my eyes short open. "Who was that man with whom you were laughing and talking Jane. Tell me who the hell he was" listening to his demanding voice shiver ran through my body but I kept my eyes close. "Answer me, Jane who was he," he shouted in anger causing tears to form in my closed eyes. H-e-he saw me with him. It was the only thought that was running in my brain. I knew I was in danger. Now, what will I do was the biggest questions for me. The memory of that atrocious day still causes a shiver run through my spine. Suddenly someone was pulling my arm taking me out of my thoughts. I found myself standing In front of the airport to receive the devil of my life. Yes, you heard it right.
"Mom.......mom....mom....come on hurry up. Let's go we will get late. Dad is waiting in the car" I shouted in excitement
"Coming honey" she shouted from the kitchen.
But I still kept shouting for her from the main door because I am so excited about our overseas vacation, "Mom... mom.... mom."
She came running after checking everything for the last time in the kitchen. Because we are going for a long vacation after so many years.
Dad was always busy with his work but he never neglects me or mom. He always gives us time and this time overseas vacation.
O my god I am so excited.
I heard the car's horn sound from my behind it made a smile on my face wider.
We were in the car, mom was telling dad that she had checked everything last time before leaving and they got busy in there talking.
Suddenly shout from my mouth made them look back in terror. Mom and dad both in union asked, "What happened honey." Dad halted the car to the side of the road and mom was searching for any kind of injury on my body.
"Is there any injury honey" dad asking in a worried voice. Mom was still examining my body. After being fully showered in a happy voice, she told him there was no injury on my body dad sigh in relief.
"What happened honey? Why did you shout, " mom asked me
"Look mom look" I was showing her the map of Disneyland pointing to the various rollercoaster ride. She was staring at the map. She had no clue what I was trying to show her.
"Is something wrong with your fingers honey why are you moving your finger so fast". She took my hand in her hands and started examining them. Dad was looking at everything from the driver's seat with an amused face. He understood what I was trying to show mom. I smiled sheepishly at him.
"Noo, mom nothing is wrong with my fingers. Look there are so many rides here. We are going to ride on each and every ride, " I said in excitement looking at a map.
"You. Jane Elizabeth Austen" Mom took my whole name in her angry voice. I lifted my eyes from the map and meet with my mom's angry one. She snatched the map away from my hands "You Jane Elizabeth Austen are you trying to give me my very first heart attack" she asked in her angry voice. Looking at mom's angry face me and dad both started laughing very loudly. She looks very cute when she is angry.
Taking the map from my hands she went to the front seat. I and dad were still laughing. Mom's one angry look made us stop laughing but we both were trying to suppress our laughter. But we failed at it and we burst out laughing again and this time mom was also laughing with us too. And again I was telling them what we are going to do once we reach there.
Dad was driving towards the airport and we were halfway to reach the airport. Sun was setting down and the night was going to bloom any time soon. I was so excited about my vacation with my family and I got lost in my dream.
Sudden jerk made me snap out of my dream. Mom's worried voice was echoing in the car. When my eyes were fully open. I saw two big lights coming towards us and it hit our car making it turn upside down. Again the sudden jerk of our car colliding made me hit my head on something very hard.
Blood started oozing from my head. Making my head heavy with throbbing pain in it. I started losing my consciousness and mom's voice has stopped echoing in the car. Not hearing my mom's voice anymore made my already racing heart go wild with more fear. It made breading hard for me. My body was slowly becoming heavy with this unconscious taking over me. But I need to see them. Lifting my body up with a little bit of last strength left in me. I started searching for mom and dad in the front seat.
A...re-are they fine.
I was trying not to lose consciousness. Keeping my eyes open was becoming hard every passing second. Taking hold of the seat to balance my trembling weak body with a slow breath. I looked in the front set there was blood everywhere.
"M..mom, D..dad" I shouted in my cracking voice with a sore throat. All the time trying to keep my eyes open b..but I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. Blackness was taking hold of my sight making unconsciousness stake over me. I started hearing the sound of the siren it was ringing all over the place.
"There is someone alive here hurry up bring stretcher fast." A male voice yelled in a panic. These were the last words I heard before unconsciousness took completely over me making me fall into a deep sleep.
I was still hearing the ringing noise which made me short open my eyes and my hands drifted to my head. Searching for any sign of blood.
I was breathing hard but there was nothing. Only sweat was all over my face and head. The ringing sound was coming from my alarm.
Lifting my hand I switched it off. Taking in my surroundings I found myself in my room on my bed realization hit me. Taking a deep breath I started to calm myself. "I..it was just an n..nightmare nothing is going to happen again, " I said while moving my hand on my wildly breathing heart in a soothing manner. How much I try each and every time to make myself forget about that day but it never happens. Fear of that haunting nightmare never went from my heart.
It's been five years but I still remember everything and it haunts me every night.......
His cold eyes moved from my face to all over my white lace dress with a clenched jaw. I felt weak in my knees but I was successful in keeping my brave face. "Nina is that you. You are looking so beautiful" he said while looking at me. I blushed I was still feeling burning holes on my back I gulp down nervously. "Have some drink" he said while taking a glass from the waiter. "No she is leaving," said the harsh voice next thing I know champagne was all over my dress staining it making me gasped. Before I could react he gripped my hand & dragged me near the pool area where no one could see us. I snatched my hand away from his tight grip "Why the hell you ruined my dress" I half yelled. "What the fuck you are doing in my party looking like a slut" he yelled angrily while pinning me to the wall. Listening to his words my blood boiled. "Let me guess you came here to ruin my mood by showing your ugly face," he said with an angry smirk letting me know his hate. "Stop giving yourself so much of importance. Im here for your mom my face may be ugly but ugly souls like you are not even worthy of my life's single sec" I said angrily and pushed him away from me but he didn't let me go away. "I can hide my ugly soul beside this face but ugly ducklings like you carry there ugliness which can't even be hidden by beautiful dress because they stain everything around them with their ugliness" his words were hurting my soul. I won't give him the privilege to see my tears. With all my power I pushed him making him stumble and fall in the pool. "Happy birthday," saying that I tried to walk away with a victory smirk but he didn't let me go. Things he did to me after that still sends a shiver to my spine. One thing was clear that day I would never want to see his face again in this life. But I don't know why the hell I am standing in front of him in church wearing a wedding gown. Looking at his victory angry smirk plastered to his face with my glassy eyes.
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
