《Irresistible Arrangement》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 I am so happy. It is the most important day of my life after all. I am getting married to the love of my life. I am getting married to the only person I loved so much in this world. I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a long White wedding gown with an umbre cut and heart shape strapless dress. It wascey at some parts and the corset I wore underneath the dress made my figure look more good. My light brown hair was down into curls and flower clips were attached to the left side of my hair. I waspletely ready. My make up was done perfectly with shimmery red lipstick and my blue eyes looked absolutely beautiful with the liner that my makeup man applied on me. I wore a white peeptoes sandal which increased my original height of 5¡ä8" to three to four inches more. ¡°Oh my God! You look so beautiful Juliette¡± Kiara my best friend squealed as she took me into a hug. ¡°Thank you¡± I blushed as I turned around towards the mirror shyly. ¡°Aww look at you. Today is your wedding and you are still shying. What will you do in your wedding night?¡± She elbowed me and made me grow even more red than I already was. ¡°Kiara!¡± I shushed her as she began tough like a hyena at my expression and hugged me sideways. ¡°Emmett is just so lucky¡± she spoke as she looked at me through the mirror. Her long ck hair looked beautiful as she braided it to her side and she was wearing a golden colour strapless gown with red lipstick. Her ck eyes looked beautiful with her cateye style and she stood confident with her 5¡ä7" height, wearing her pair of heels. She was a beautiful woman. Kiara Richmond was the hottest girl in the town. She was born to the wealthiest family in New York and lived with her parents in the most luxurious part of New York enjoying her Spinster life. The only thing was she never believed in love. I wonder sometimes, how we both became best friends. I also belong to a wealthy family just like her but opposite to her I totally believed upon love. I liked to Study when she liked to party. I liked to party when it was exam time when she liked to hide herself from her alcoholic friends studying for the exams. The only thing is after partying so much during exam times I always managed to secure more than her. She was my best friend in College but as well as my bestpetitor. It was the time of Christmas when I met Emmett for the first time in a party that my parents kept for me as I turned Twenty two. My birthday party. I met him there in the party and instantly, I grew to like him. Soon we began to date and after a year of dating we were in a rtionship. After a year he proposed me directly for wedding and me being a lovesick woman said yes to him. ¡°I believe the one who you will love will be the most Handsome man you would ever meet¡± I smiled turning towards her to face her. ¡°Oh not again! Juliette just not today please¡± she rolled her ck orbs while I shooked my head at her childishness. She just never believed in love. ¡°Juliette!¡± We both turned towards the door to find Jace peeping his head inside watching us with a smile. ¡°Come here kid!¡± Kiara teased him. Jace Swanson was my only brother. He was three years younger to me. He disliked it whenever Kiara called him Kid. Kiara loved teasing him and Jace couldn¡¯t stop getting irritated by my best friend. ¡°Please! I am 21 for your kind information¡± Jace spoke irritated and Kiara rolled her eyes muttering ¡°whatever¡± to herself. She can be mean sometimes. ¡°Jacey!¡± I squealed and ran to hug him. ¡°Hey no don¡¯t touch my hai-¡± he closed his mouth when I already ruffled his soft ck hair which he inherited from my Mom. ¡°Aww Jacey don¡¯t be like that. Today is my wedding¡± I cooed as I pinched his cheeks. ¡°Can you atleast act like an elder?¡± He pped away my hand and furrowed his eyebrow irritated. ¡°We just love irritating you Jacey¡± I pulled him into a hug and he began to resist me but soon gave up and hugged me back tightly. ¡°I am going to miss you Julie¡± he whispered into my hair. He was really taller than me which made me really jealous of him sometimes. ¡°I will too¡± I whispered as I began to feel little sad that I was going to leave him. ¡°Come on now everyone is waiting for you¡± he pulled away from the hug as he cupped my face in his hands and kissed my forehead. ¡°You look beautiful¡± he spoke cheerfully. ¡°Okay guys now don¡¯t be emotional. Its her wedding and you will just ruin her make up so hush and Juliettee here¡± Kiara interferred and asked me to go to her. I walked towards her and she took the veil from the table and adjusted it on my head covering my face. ¡°Here!¡± She gave me a bouquet of rose and I held it and giving ast nce at myself in the mirror I inhaled deeply feeling nervous all of a sudden. I don¡¯t know why but suddenly I began to feel anxiety grow up inside me. Probably because of the wedding I thought and shrugged it off. ¡°Lets go. Dad is waiting outside for us¡± Jace took hold of my arm while Kiara helped me with my gown and we walked out of the room together. ¡°That¡¯s it I am going to get married now. My life is going to change today¡± I thought to myself as a smile broke into my lips. We walked towards the entrance of the church and soon I saw Dad standing near the entrance with my Mom waiting for us. My Dad Mr. Stephen Swanson and Mom Mrs. Jessica Swanson were my life. They did everything to give me a life I deserved. I remember when there was a time when Dad was not a wealthy man but an average employee of apany. He worked day and night for us. I looked exactly like him. Inheriting his brown hair and blue eyes, I was his princess and I knew he loved me more than Jace. ¡°My princess¡± his eyes watered as he saw me in the wedding dress and took me into a hug. ¡°I am going to miss you¡± he cried as I enjoyed his embrace and inhaled his smell which is what I loved the most about him. If anything he loved except me was cleanliness. He was the most clean man I have ever saw in my life. ¡°My darling¡± my mom cooed as she engulfed me into her arms. My mother was an athlete when she was married to my father. She was really strong. ¡°Mom I can¡¯t breathe¡± I managed to speak with great difficulty and finally she let me go realising it and I huffed out air feeling rxed. ¡°Honey!¡± My Dad scolded her and she smiled sheepishly at me. ¡°Sorry I just got carried out with my emotions¡± she gave an exnation. I smiled at her and squeezed her arm ¡°it¡¯s okay mom¡±. ¡°Okay it¡¯s time now¡± my dad spoke as he checked the time in his watch. ¡°I love you sweetheart¡± my mom kissed my forehead and Jace hugged me again as both of them began to leave. Kiara was my bridesmaid. She took her ce with the kids and showed me a thumbs up sign mouthing ¡°All the best¡±. I smiled at her as I linked my arms with my Dad and we waited for the gate to open. The music began to y and the gate opened revealing a crowded church. It was filled with people as all of them waited patiently for the bride to appear. Slowly we began to walk as we reahersed earlier. My legs began to wobble out of nervousness and my palms began to sweat. ¡°Rx princess¡± my Dad whispered squeezing my arms assuring me that everything was going to be great. I managed to smile at the people and hummed as a response to dad. I saw Emmett waiting for me looking confident standing on the alter. He looked so handsome wearing his ck suite. His hair was combed back and his grey eyes twinkled when he saw me. Immediately, a smile broke into his lips as he licked his lips waiting for me. I knew he was impatient. He was talking the whole night with me on the phone discussing about our wedding night. He had nned so much and he wants everything just to be as he has nned. He was really desperate to have me. I blushed deep red when he winked at me. It took me a month to convince my family especially my father and Kiara. I don¡¯t know why but both of them disliked Emmett when they met him for the first time. But I loved him. Finally after so much difficulty I managed to convince them for this marriage. ¡°Take good care of her son. I hope you to take care her of her just like me¡± my father spoke as he handed my hand to Emmett. ¡°I promise I will take care of her even more than you¡± he replied as he smiled at Dad and dad nodded leaving me in the aisle. ¡°You look beautiful muffin¡± Emmett whispered to me as he ced a kiss on the back of my hand. ¡°I just can¡¯t wait to get you¡± he winked making me blush. A clearing of throat made us snap out of our little moment. The priest cleared his throat probably hearing Emmett¡¯s words. ¡°Shall we began now?¡± The priest asked holding his book and we nodded. He began to read his book while people sat down on their ces watching us while the priest read his book. ¡°Now you may speak your vows¡± he told us and I nodded. Finally it was the time. I have waited for this moment from so long. As I was just going to open my mouth, we heard a gun shot and my eyes widened out of shock and fear. I looked towards the entrance and saw a man standing with his one hand up with a gun. He smirked at the people who gasped at him because of fear and few man followed him as they pointed their gun towards the people to stop them from moving around. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I heard people wishpering. ¡°Who are you?¡± My father stood up as a man pointed a gun towards him asking him to sit down. My heart hammered against my ribcage seeing the sight. I looked towards Emmett to find him sweating badly and his hands were trembling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?¡± I thought to myself. ¡°Emmett What is going on? Why aren¡¯t you doing anything?¡± I called him and tried to touch him but the man who shot that gun earlier came and stood before me blocking my sight. He towered my height and stood tall confidently before me with a hardened expression on his face. His brown eyes ring down at me making me step away from him but he held my arm and steadied me on my ce. ¡°L-Leave me¡± I stammered fearing him. ¡°Emmett!¡± I called him for help but when I looked at him his nose was bleeding and he was being held by two men who pulled him with them from the aisle. ¡°Juliette!¡± He called coughing a little. I gasped seeing his condition and tried to walk towards him only to be blocked again by the Brown-eyed man. ¡°Now you will feel how I felt when you took the most precious thing away from me you mutt¡± the brown- eyed man snarled looking towards Emmett. ¡°I will make sure to let you see what is going to happen now with your own eyes¡± he hissed at him with hatred in his eyes. ¡°You proceed what you were doing¡± he spoke pointing his gun towards the priest. The priest gulped and nodded continuing again. ¡°W-What are you doing? Leave me¡± I began to struggle against him. He tightened his grip and red at me. Then he nodded towards the men and they all took their position surrounding both of my parents pointing their guns towards them. Everything was a Chaos now. ¡°Do as I say or you lose them¡± he hissed as he tightened his grip on my arm more. I stood paralyzed on my spot seeing the deadly weapons which were pointed against my family. One of is man handed him a piece of paper and he ced it on the officiant¡¯s book. ¡°Sign it!¡± hemanded as he gestured me to sign on the paper. The frightened officiant immediately took his pen out and handed it to me which I refused to take. The brown-eyed man before me hissed at my refusal and pointed his gun towards my father. ¡°I see, you don¡¯t want to see your family alive,¡± he said icily which was enough for me to tremble in my ce. ¡°No! No!¡± I cried and hurriedly took the pen from the officiant and signed the paper without even reading it. My hands trembled when I was done and beads of sweat formed on my chin as I wiped it away using the back of my hand. He smirked down at me and then at Emmett who was now struggling against the two men. ¡°Leave me. Juliette! No don¡¯t do this¡± he begged and scream. ¡°I, Zachary Udolf Sullivan take Juliette Swanson as mywfully wedded wife¡± I heard the man speak with a smirk and as I began to register what was going on, he reached forward and took the paper from the officiant and showed it to me and to everyone. The paper had my sign and even his sign on it. And to my absolute horror, it was a marriage license paper. ¡°No!¡± I heard Emmett screaming. As I registered what just happened the brown-eyed man pulled me to him and captured my mouth in his kissing me forcefully before everyone. I tried to push him away but he held me by my waist and pulled me more closer to him as he began to kiss me forcefully. Tears were continuously flowing down my cheeks as he did so and finally when he let me go, he wiped his lips using his sleeves and smirked at me and looked towards the priest who spoke lowly ¡°Now I may dere you as husband and wife. May-y God bless you¡± he finished trembling on his spot. N?velDrama.Org owns this text. It was a total shock for me. Whatever just happened was totally a shock for me but it was nothing to what I just witnessed next. The man whose name was Zachary and who was my husband now pulled out his gun and pointed it towards Emmett. ¡°Now it¡¯s time to bid goodbye¡± he spoke deadly as he pulled the trigger and we all heard a gunshot and I looked down shocked to see blood on my dress while Emmett fell down on the floor. Everyone began to yell and scream panicking while his man tried to control the people. But only thing which my mind registered was the blood which was on the floor everywhere. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx $Chapter Chapter 2 Chapter 2 ¡°Em-Emmett¡± I spoke registering what just happened. I was in a state of shock now. I was beginning to feel my head spinning very badly yet I managed topose myself for the sake of Emmett. ¡°Emmett¡± I cried as I ran to him dodging Zachary sessfully. ¡°Emmett!¡± I cried holding his face and began to pat his face. His eyes were closed and I looked down to see blood oozing out of his middle region. ¡°Emmett open your eyes. Please!¡± I begged and cried when he didn¡¯t even respond. ¡°Juliette!¡± I heard someone calling me and I looked towards the people to see Jace screaming for me as he was held by a man stopping him froming near me. ¡°J-Jace look what happened to Emmett. He is just not opening his eyes¡± I cried. ¡°Juliette!¡± Kiara cried looking at me. ¡°Kiara look what just happened¡± I cried holding Emmett¡¯s Face. ¡°Emme-¡± I was cut off by Zachary himself as he shouted ¡°Enough!¡± at me and got hold of my arm pulling me up. I began to struggle against him to let myself free. ¡°Let me go!¡± I cried wanting to free myself. ¡°You areing with me¡± he spoke in a dead voice and began to drag me with him. ¡°Juliette!¡± I heard everyone shouting for me. ¡°Leave her¡± Kiara screamed trying to get me from the crowd. ¡°Leave me!¡± I cried, even more, when he ignored my pleadings and began to walk towards the exit. ¡°Where are you taking me? Let me go!¡± I cried as I began to struggle again and tried to get myself free. ¡°Juliette!¡± I heard my father screaming for me. I looked back at them to see them crying for me. My eyes fell on the figure who was lying on the floor. ¡°Emmett¡± I whispered feeling helpless. I was dragged out of the church and immediately a Limo Pulled before us. Zachary nodded at his men who were surrounding us holding their guns probably for security. Security for Zachary. Zachary pulled me towards the limo and I began to struggle more. ¡°Leave me! Leave me¡± I screamed and finally, I was able to yank my hand away from his hold. As soon as I was able to free myself I turned around to run back to Emmett but again I was stopped when Zachary took hold of my hand and made me turn back to him again. Using all my force I used my other hand to p him hard on his face. His face turned to the left and his widened probably due to shock. ¡°You Bastard who do you think you are?¡± I began to scream at him. Suddenly his face contorted with anger and he red at me looking way too angry. ¡°You will know soon who I am¡± he hissed and pulled me to him making me gasp ¡°and for that p¡± he traced my face using his gun ¡°I will just let it slip as it was too much for you for a day but¡± he stopped on my lips ¡°next time I will kill you¡± he warned and his eyes showed sincerity. I gulped a lump in my throat but nevertheless stood my position. I red back ta him which made him smirk. ¡°Feisty hu?¡± He whispered seductively now. ¡°Now! Be a good girl if you want your family to get out of that church alive¡± he pulled me closer as he folded my hand on my back. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°W-What do you mean?¡± I whispered not finding my voice. My heart thumping loudly. ¡°My man are still inside that church. One wrong move from you and they are dead¡± he spoke emotionlessly as killing people was nothing to him. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t¡± I stammered feeling anxiety growing inside me. I was feeling suffocated now. ¡°Try me¡± he whispered. ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± I cried as I couldn¡¯t stop my tears any longer. I began to feel helpless. He stared down at me but never answered my question. He took hold of my hand and turned around dragging me with him. I kept my mouth close only because of his threat and cried silently following him. He pushed me inside the limo and got in after me closing the door. But I heard my name being called when he closed the door. I looked out of the window to see Dad running out of the church with Jace and soon mom came following them. ¡°Juliette!¡± I couldn¡¯t hear their voice but guessed my name probably being called by them as they began to fight against the man trying toe to us. The Limo started to move and soon it began to run to god knows where. I kept staring at the figure who were fighting against the man to get to me. ¡°Dad mom¡± I whispered as we lost their sight and I slumped back on my seat sobbing feeling helpless. I looked towards the left towards Zachary who stared down at me with a neutral expression. The only thing I felt for him right now was hatred. I hated him so much. He killed my love. The thought that I would be not seeing Emmett again in my life pained me and I hated Zachary more for it. He was the reason what just happened. ¡°I hate you¡± I whispered but I knew he heard me as he turned his head away from my direction and stared out of the window. ¡°I just hate you¡± I whispered again but this time to myself as I silently leaned my head against the window and cried my eyes out. I don¡¯t know for how much long I kept on crying but soon I began to feel my head spin and I began to close my eyes feeling tired all of a sudden. As soon as I closed my eyes I was out. I found myself slipping into darkness. I woke up feeling suffocated. My eyes fluttered open and I found myself in a closed room. I was lying on a bed and I looked around to see it was a small room with dim lights. Everything was ssy and seemed expensive. By what caught my attention was the sound of the engine. ¡°Oh no! I am in a ne?¡± I whispered realizing it when my eyes fell on a small circr window which showed me the clouds. I got up from the bed and made my way towards the door which I guessed as the attached bathroom. Luckily it was the bathroom. I could hear the wind more clearly in the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror to find myself a mess. My makeup was smudged and my lipstick was smudged towards the left. Then I remembered the kiss that I shared with the man who killed my love. I shuddered and felt disgusted. I had to ssh water many times on my face to get rid of my makeup. I and to use soap as there was no face wash. Using a brush I brushed my hair and got rid of the clips. But what made me nauseous was the blood which was on my dress. It was Emmett¡¯s blood. My eyes teared up thinking about him. What would be my parents doing now? ¡°Emmett¡± I cried, even more, realising that I lost him. He was no more. I lost him before my eyes and I couldn¡¯t do anything to save him. This is all because of Zachary. Why did he kill him? Why did he marry me? I have never met Zachary before. It is clear that I do not know him in any way. So why did he kill Emmett and what did he marry me? I remember what Zachary spoke earlier in that Church ¡°Now you will feel how I felt when you took the most precious thing away from me you dog¡±. Precious thing? Emmett took his precious thing? No, he is lying. I know Emmett. He can never do this to anyone. ¡°But whatever it is it doesn¡¯t mean that you could just kill someone and marry someone forcefully against its will¡± I spoke to myself. ¡°You asked for it Zachary and I will make sure to live your life a living hell from now¡± I swore to myself as I felt myself filling with hatred. ¡°I don''t care what precious thing you lost but you took the most precious thing away from me and I will make sure to take revenge for it making your life hell¡± I swore my words filled with venom. I heard the door opening and closing. I assumed it as Zachary. He must be into the room checking for me. I quicklyposed myself wiping away my tears and made mine out of the bathroom. As soon as I came out I saw him standing near the bed with a hardened expression. ¡°Oh you are back,¡± I said sweetly which made him furrow his eyebrows. ¡°Wha-¡± I cut him off ¡°I was waiting for you¡± I spoke and went towards the door which was slightly ajar. I closed it and clicked the door knob close. ¡°What are you doing?¡± He asked as I turned around and I made my way towards him. As I walked, I began to unzip the zip at my back of my dress. ¡°Honey did you forgot? It¡¯s out wedding night after all¡± I said and smirked inwardly when I saw his eyes widening with shock hearing me. ¡°Have you lost it?¡± He spoke deadly. ¡°What? Me? Oh no¡± I went to him and pushed him on the bed. ¡°What the hell¡± he screamed as he tried to get up. I climbed on him and mmed my hands on the either side of his head stopping him from getting up. He held my waist and tried to push me but I refused to move away. ¡°Did you forgot what I told you about your parents?¡± He hissed ¡°Oh I didn¡¯t forget and what am I doing? I am just trying to coax my husband. After all, you are my husband now and c¡¯mon it¡¯s out wedding night¡± I spoke seductively as I trailed my finger on his face like he did thest time on me using his gun. He is handsome actually. He has this beautiful deep and intense eyes and chiseled jawline and sharp nose. But the hatred which I felt for him made me blind to all his features. I would have swooned for him if I would¡¯ve met him in any other way around. It¡¯s a shame that God made such a heartless man such a piece. ¡°Listen just get off me¡± he spoke with a calm voice trying to get me off him. I smirked at him and began to unbutton his top buttons. ¡°No¡± I whispered seductively. I began to lean towards his face making him freeze and as soon as I was near him he broke out of his thoughts and holding my torso he seeded in pushing me away from him. I fell to his side while he got up and strode out of the room hurriedly not even bothering to look behind towards me. I heard him muttering ¡°Idiot!¡± to me. Iughed at him as I folded my arms behind my head and smiled victoriously. ¡°Score one for Juliette¡± I spoke to myself. ¡°It¡¯s just the start. Just wait and watch¡± I smirked to myself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx $Chapter Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Juliette Pov I looked out of the window to find clouds and only clouds. I was frustrated being in that same room from his knows to many hours. So, I made up my mind to go out of the small cabin and check out. The stunt that I pulled a few hours ago is still fresh in my mind. Still, I just want to know why did he do that? I walked out of the room, crossing a small cabin, I reached the front part of the ne. There I saw the devil himself sleeping on his seat leaning his head against his seat. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. He took all my peace and dreams away from me. I was suppose to enjoy my life, my honeymoon with Emmett and here I am mourning on his death and sitting married to aplete stranger. I don¡¯t understand what to do. Should I cry and shut myself down for Emmett¡¯s death or should I take revenge for him? Finally, I decide to lock all my tears and sorrow inside me until I take my revenge. I won¡¯t satisfy until I make this Zachary guy kneel down before me and ask for forgiveness for what he did to Emmett and to me. Suddenly I was brought back to reality when the ns began to tremble. I loosed my bnce and in no time going myself falling towards my front. I closed my eyes scared and waited to get hurt but when I felt a touch on my arm, my eyes fluttered open only to find myself again on Zachary. For the second time of the day. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. He held my arms supporting me while I sat sideways on hisps. His eyes disying shock and surprise but at the same time I found myself getting mesmerized by his brown eyes which were filled with deep secrets and something which I couldn¡¯tprehend. His eyes began to flutter and I snapped out from our little moment. I jerked up away from him as soon as I realised I was sitting on a murderer. ¡°What the hell is your problem¡± he spoke narrowing his eyes as adjusted his ck suite. ¡°You are my problem¡± I spoke lowly but I knew he heard it. ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± I asked as I sat infront of his seat on another seat. He stared at me for some minutes and as usually chose to ignore me as he leaned back against his seat and closed his eyes totally shutting me. ¡°Fine!¡± I muttered irritated by his rudeness. I chose to calm myself down for some minutes. So I sat next to the window and leaned against the window. I just wanted to forget everything that just happened few hours ago. My energy system is totally drained out and now I will dly ept anything which could provide me peace and more importantly calmness. I closed my eyes and folded my arms across my chest feeling little cold. ¡°Who ever knew that a simple wedding could turn out this horrendous¡± I thought to myself as I drifted to darkness. ¡°Get up!¡± I heard someone As I began to gain consciousness, I rubbed my eyes and looked up to find the murderer himself standing before me and looking down at me with a boring expression. ¡°Get up! We are here. Follow me!¡± Hemanded me as if I were his dog and turned on his back walking somewhere. I got up from my seat and felt something dropping to the floor. I looked down to find a shawl lying on the floor. Confused, I picked it up and ran my palm over the soft shawl wondering who covered me with it. ¡°I said Follow me¡± I heard him speak up and without wasting any more time I took that shawl with me as I ran before him following him. He walked out of the ne with me trailing behind him and immediately I looked arround to find ourselves surrounded by luxourious ck cars whose name I didn¡¯t know quite actually. I sucked at all this. For me car is a car. I noticed body guards with huge well built body all dressed in typical ck clothes with ck sunsses looking here and there to security. ¡°Sir wee back¡± a guy bowed his head before Zachary and in return Zachary just nodded. ¡°This way¡± he escorted us to a car, ck luxourious car and without uttering any words I followed Zachary into the car because I knew it was useless trying to escape. First of all, I had no idea of where I¡¯m the world I was. Secondly, I was surrounds by his men. That means I would be easily caught if I ever tried to escape andstly, I didn¡¯t wanted to escape. Not now actually. Not before getting my answers and getting my revenge. I sat silently lost in my deep thoughts while the car ride. I tried to atleast have an idea on where I was by looking outside the window for any shop or clue but everything was written in differentnguage and eventually I gave up when I didn¡¯t get a single clue. But as if God heard me I got a clue and it was totally devastating for me. I was in freaking Egypt. I would¡¯ve never got it if I had never saw that pyramids. Now I got it. It was all in Arabguage. ¡°How can I be so stupid not able to recognise this earlier?¡± I questioned myself. I just can¡¯t believe this. This freaking monster made me travel all this way to Egypt. But how in the world I couldn¡¯t know this earlier? I looked towards my left to find him typing something on his phone. I tried to peep but a shiny material which poked out of his waistline made me to sit back on my seat. ¡°Why in the world is he always carrying that stupid gun with him?¡± I muttered as I closed my eyelids rubbing my face using my palms frustrated. ¡°Why are we in Egypt?¡± I asked in a low voice. For some minutes I thought that may be he didn¡¯t hear me but when he did I wished I should¡¯ve never asked it to him. ¡°You are where I have brought you¡± he spoke in a bored tone as he continued typing in his phone. ¡°Idiot!¡± I muttered The car ride was in silence and after a hour we reached out destination. The car came to a halt before a big house. I scoffed looking at that house. Atleast my house was bigger than this. ¡°We will staying here for three weeks then we will fly back to my ce¡± he said as he stepped out of the car. ¡°Y-Your ce? What do you mean by that? Isn¡¯t this your ce?¡± I questioned confused. ¡°Do you think I stay somewhere like this?¡± He asked raising his eyebrows. I chose to keep my mouth close. Ofcourse! He would never stay somewhere like this. Ever! He walked towards the entrance and as usually I followed him. ¡°Witney take her to her room¡± he ordered a woman who was dressed in ck typical dress like a maid. ¡°And sent me something to eat¡± heanded again and without saying anything walked away leaving me alone with Witney. ¡°Please follow me¡± she spoke professionally and I did as she said following her wherever she took me. ¡°Here! This is your room for now¡± she opened a door which led is into a room. It was not a big room but medium size room with purple and white wall paint. An attached bathroom and a wardrobe. A small bed in the middle of the room and most importantly no window. ¡°Why isn¡¯t there any window in here?¡± I asked confused. I have already started to hate this room. I was feeling suffocated. ¡°Please give me some other room¡± I told her and tried to leave but she stood before me blocking me with an apologetic face. ¡°I am sorry Ma¡¯am but Sir told me to give you this room only. You can not leave this room¡± she spoke with a low voice. ¡°Wha-¡± she cut me off ¡°Please change somethingfortable you will get from that wardrobe and I will be bringing you your food¡± she bowed and closed the door on my face. ¡°What the-¡± I began to bang on the door ¡°open the door! Please! Open the door¡±. When no one responded, I eventually gave up as I slide against the door crying and sobbing again remembering who he was and what he did to me. After crying my eyes out, I managed to stand on my feet but my feet wobbled due to my draining energy. ¡°I just hate for all this Zachary¡± I screamed as tears pooled my eyes and I made my way towards the bathroom. This wedding dress suffocated me and I just want myself out of this as soon as possible. I can not bear seeing those blood stains on my dress which made me remember painful memories. As I got inside the small bathroom, I got rid of the dress as soon as possible and took a cold shower rxing a bit. I rubbed the parts of my body painfully feeling disgusted that a murderer touched me. What Zachary did was a sin. He did all that in a holy church and for that I wished God to punish him for his sins. Using the towel I wiped the water away from my body and wrapped myself using another towel and walked out of the bathroom. The ceiling fan was rotating making squeaking sounds and I feared it to fall on me. Opening the wardrobe, I fished out ayered spaghetti top and a ck one third pant. But no undergarment. ¡°I guess I had to just manage with this¡± I muttered as I changed into those clothes and wrapped my way hair using that same towel. I walked towards the bed andid down on it watching nkly as the ceiling fan rotated. Soon, I began to feel sleepy and eventually I passed out with only one person in my mind. ¡°Emmett¡±. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx $Chapter Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Juliette Pov ¡°Ma¡¯am? Ma¡¯am?¡± I heard someone and I jolted up from my bed rmed. Running the sleepiness out of my eyes I looked here and there to find the person. I saw the same maid from before standing near my bedpost holding a tray looking at me without any expression. She must be in herte fifties and it is really astonishing that ady like her not to show any emotions. ¡°I am sorry to wake you but you need to eat your food¡± she ced the tray before me and bowed before leaving. My stomach rumbled seeing the food. Opening the lid of the dish I was hit by a strong aroma of coffee and scrambled eggs. Without wasting any more minute I took the fork and started to eat like a maniac. Savouring each bite and sip. When I was done I kept the tray down on the floor and unwrapped the towel which was still wrapped around my hair. My hair was still damp. I went to the wardrobe and took out ab which I saw earlier tob my hair. After struggling to detangle all the tangles Ibed my hair to the side and tied it using a rubber band. ¡°What should I do now?¡± I asked to myself as I began to pace around the room. I looked at the clock on the wall to see it¡¯s already evening. I was beginning to feel suffocated. Who locks someone inside a room with no window? I decided to one thing which I am used to since I have been brought here. Bang on the door till someone lets me out. ¡°Let me out!¡± I banged on the door shouting like a maniac. ¡°Open the door! Anybody there? Let me out!¡± ¡°Hey! Is anyone listening to me? Let me out please¡± I shouted on the top of my voice. I banged continuously intentionally. If anyone was out there then she or he would definitely get irritated by this and would definitely let me out. ¡°Open the d-¡± I was cut off when I found the door knob turning so I took a step back for the person to open the door. I guess I should have never banged the door because there stood the murderer himself with an angry expression and he looked ready to kill me. ¡°Why in the world are you banging the door like a maniac?¡± He took menacing steps as he red at me. I decided not to show him that I was afraid of him. Well, I was actually, but he doesn¡¯t need to know. ¡°Well that¡¯s because someone locked me inside this room with no windows and I was feeling suffocated¡± I spoke confidently as I red back at him. He was wearing the same clothes from earlier. But he had taken his jacket off him. ¡°Suffocated right? You were not going to die. You don¡¯t need to bark like a dog to get your point¡± he insulted me. ¡°What did you just say? Dog? You called me a Dog?¡± I was insulted and I will be damned if I let him go this easily. He narrowed his eyes but spoke nothing. ¡°Well then¡± Iughed sarcastically and then continued ¡°Look who is saying¡± which made him raise his eyebrows. ¡°The dog himself is calling others dog¡± this caused anger fire up in his eyes. ¡°What did you just say?¡± He asked threatening me. ¡°Are you deaf?¡± I questioned mocking him. ¡°Enough!¡± In one moment I collided against his chest as he took hold of my arms and pulled me to him angrily. ¡°You will not talk to me like that. Do you understand?¡± he tightened his hold as he yelled at me angrily. ¡°Or what ?¡± I retorted. I knew I was ying with the fire. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that your family is still on my gun point all I need to do is to give a simple order and then they will be finished¡± he sneered as he shoved me backward. Tears pooled my eyes hearing him and in that moment my hatred for him grew even more. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t¡± I managed to speak. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Try me¡± he threatened with a neutral expression seeing my tears. ¡°Why are you doing this to me? What did I do that I had to go through all this?¡± I asked as tears began to roll down my cheeks. I hated being vulnerable now. I was feeling so vulnerable in front of him. Never had I ever felt such in my whole life. But this particr man has this influence on me which did all these peculiar emotions flowing out of me. ¡°Please at least let me know what is my mistake?¡± I sobbed as I leaned against the wall for support. ¡°It is better if you keep your mouth shut and do as you are told you¡± he spoke nonchntly. ¡°What do you think I am? Huh?¡± I was back to spit fire. ¡°Who do you think I am? Do you think I am some kind of maid or servant that you can just boss around huh?¡± I snapped as I wiped the years angrily using my palms. ¡°You are here because of me¡± he spoke enunciating each word as if he wanted me to get this into my head. ¡°So don¡¯t forget what I can do to you. You should be happy that you are still alive and you have been given room to stay unless you want me to get my men and lock you in the basement without any food¡± his words made me tremble with fear. ¡°W-Who are you?¡± I managed to ask without stuttering. ¡°I am nobody for your concern but I can be your worst nightmare if you don¡¯t behave,¡± he told me icily. ¡°I just don¡¯t get your point of marrying me. Did you get your revenge or something right? You killed him. Emmett! Before my own eyes. It is over. I want to go back to my family¡± I tried to reason. ¡°Go back to your room and just sleep¡± he turned his back towards me as he began to leave behaving as if he didn¡¯t hear anything that I just said. ¡°No! Stop!¡± I yelled when I saw him again locking me inside the room. He stopped midway from closing the door as he eyed me with a raised eyebrow. ¡°Don¡¯t lock me in here¡± I spoke but it was like begging. He sighed as he closed his eyes and shooked his head muttering something under his breath. ¡°See you behave good and I will not lock you anymore¡± he began to close the door again but I stopped him by running to him and holding his hand stopping him from closing the door. ¡°No! No! Please! Don¡¯t close it. I am feeling suffocated¡± I begged as I held his hand which was on the door knob stopping him from closing the door. He stared at me for some seconds and then his eyes traveled to our hands. I realised what I just did and immediately jerked my hands away from his. He looked here and there while I pushed back some loose locks of my hair out of my face, behind my ear. ¡°Fine! I am not locking it but I will if I get any unwanted and silly behavior from you¡± he told me and I nodded not wanting to say anything. Then he turned around and left without looking back at me. I exhaled out air which I didn¡¯t know that I holding and slowly closed the door. I was satisfied that at least I wasn¡¯t locked inside. It¡¯s not that I was nning to escape or something but every time I get myself locked I feel suffocated. It¡¯s from my childhood. Moreover, I don¡¯t n on escaping soon. I will one day actually but not now. Not until I get what I want. ¡°Answers and revenge¡± I spoke determinedly to get what I truly want. With that, I closed the door and went back to my bed to sleep which I have been doing a lot since I have met this man. ¡°Zachary¡± But the first thing I want to do is to contact my family. I need to know what happened there after I left. About Emmett especially. My heart ached to realise what would have happened to him. But before I would start to cry again somehow I controlled myself and took deep breaths to calm myself down. I didn¡¯t want my tears to go valueless any longer. If anything I want is only to take bit by bit revenge for my every sufferings and tear. ¡°You will have it, Zachary¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care why you did that but you are going to pay for it¡±. ¡°This is my promise¡± I swore as I lied down on the bed and tried to sleep. ¡°Zachary Udolf Sullivan¡±. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx $Chapter Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Juliette Pov I jolted up from my sleep when I heard something breaking and a lot of noise from outside. ¡°What the heck?¡± I said as I rubbed my eyes and pushed back the strands of hair that were falling on my eyes disturbing me. ¡°Shut up!¡± I heard someone yelling. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked myself as I got up from the bed and made my way towards the door. Turning the door knob, I huffed out a sigh of relief when I found it unlocked. ¡°Should I check What is going on there?¡± I found myself questioning myself. Opening the door, I peeped my head out to look around. When I found nobody, I took a step out and then slowly walked out of the room, closing the door slowly in the process. ¡°I said Shut up or else I will..¡± I heard yelling again and I began to follow the voice. I heard a lot of crashing and thrashing sounds. ¡°What was seriously going on?¡± now I was beginning to feel worried and little-scared hearing all those sounds. I walked towards the left corridor and then I reached a room whose door was closed. ¡°How the hell is that possible?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know anything just f*cking find him¡± ¡°You have a week in your hand. If you don¡¯t give me his details in this week then I am gonna blow your head out of your body. Do you Understand?¡± The person yelled and answering him, I heard a quite ¡°Yes Sir!¡± probably from the people who were inside. It took me few seconds to recognize the person who was yelling as Zachary. But whom does he want to find this bad? The question lingered in my mind. I stood there listening and thinking to their conversation when I couldn¡¯t register the door in front of me being open and before me stood a very strong built men with blood shot eyes looking pissed probably finding me eavesdropping. ¡°Oh No!¡± I muttered. ¡°Who are you?¡± He snarled as he took hold of my arm and shooked me with all his power that for one second I thought I was going to dislocate my arm from my shoulder. ¡°Ah hey leave me!¡± I cried as I tried to get myself free. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You were listening to our conversation. A spy!¡± He concluded and soon there was a Gun pointed at my head. ¡°Tell me who are you before I blow you -¡± he was cut off by Zachary himself. ¡°What¡¯s going on there Max?¡± Zachary spoke from behind him and I was sure he didn¡¯t have any Idea that I was the one standing at the door because the person Max who was pointing a Gun on my forehead was so huge, that he was fully blocking the sight of me from Zachary. I was sure, my eyes were glistening with tears due to fear and for the first time in my life, I prayed the almighty to let Zachary see me before its toote. ¡°Boss we have an intruder here. She was eavesdropping. A spy!¡± The person whose name was Max spoke pressing the Gun on to my forehead. ¡°What? Who is it?¡± I heard Zachary speak and then some shuffling noise and footsteps means he was coming towards us. ¡°Boss I got this! I am just gonna blow her head¡± Max snarled angrily. I seriously thought that today was my end. I closed my eyes waiting for him to pull the trigger and kill me. But I heard Zachary ¡°What the hell?¡± ¡°Put that gun down¡± he yelled. ¡°No! Boss, she is an intruder. She was eavesdropping¡± Max argued ¡°I said put that gun down else I will blow your head off¡± Zachary yelled. ¡°But Bos-¡± Max was cut off by Zachary. ¡°Put that Gun out of my wife¡¯s head before I kill you¡± Zachary yelled angrily and my eyes fluttered open hearing the word ¡°wife¡± from his mouth. ¡°W-Wife?¡± Max stammered and I think I heard him gulping. ¡°Oh, I am so sorry Ma¡¯am¡± finally he took that stupid gun down and I exhaled a breath that I didn¡¯t know I was holding. ¡°I am so sorry. Please Forgive me. I didn¡¯t know that you were his wife¡± I heard Max¡¯s apologies. ¡°How dare you-¡± I saw Zachary taking his Gun out and he was looking beyond angry at Max and before he couldmit another crime I managed to butt in. ¡°Uh haha. It¡¯s alright! No problem!¡± Iughed humourlessly and my statement cut Zachary in the middle. As he looked confused at my sudden change in demeanor. This was the technique. If I looked anything near to scared, then Max would have been shot by now. My calm behavior changed Zachary¡¯s mind. This is what my Dad thought me earlier. ¡°I love you Dad!¡± I mentally screamed missing him. ¡°I forgive you haha¡± Iughed a little eyeing towards Zachary¡¯s gun. ¡°W-What? Did you forgive me? So easily?¡± I found Max staring at me all shocked. ¡°Of course! It¡¯s not your fault. It¡¯s okay!¡± I watched as Zachary took his hand which was holding that deadly weapon down. ¡°Oh Thank you! Thank you so much Ma¡¯am¡± he looked overjoyed. It¡¯s strange how everyone were scared of Zachary. I mean inpare to strength I think Zachary is nothing to the man standing before me because he muscr, well built, tall and what not. He can probably take Zachary down in fight. But see the Irony! He looked as if he was gonna pee on his pants seeing Zachary angry. ¡°Uh I am going back to my room. Can you please send Whitney to my room?¡± I tried to change the topic and asked the question directly to Zachary. He stared at me for some minute and then nodded. ¡°Thank You uh Bye!¡± I found myself waving to Max who was still looking tensed. ¡°Uh? Bye!¡± He responded waving back a little. I gave him a small smile and turned around to leave. I took slow steps and as soon as I crossed the main corridor, I ran. I ran using my full strength back to my room. Reaching my room, I closed the door shut and rxed a little. I was panting badly due to fear and as well as the physical exercise I just did. ¡°How many times am I going to survive all this?¡± I screamed looking upwards. ¡°Answer me God. Please!¡± I begged. ¡°It is better to die than suffering all this again and again¡± I spoke to myself as I rubbed my head frustrated. It was aching now. ¡°God! Somebody please give me a pain killer¡± I mumbled as I felt pain on my arm which was now starting to bruise due to Max. ¡°Great! In just two days I got all this fresh ugly Bruises¡± I muttered examining my arm. Some bruises were from Zachary and some were from Max. ¡°Why am I leaving behind? Let me bruise myself too!¡± I yelled as I punched my arm and held it tightly wanting to bruise it. ¡°My Wife!¡± I mocked in Zachary¡¯s Voice as I punched the door using my fist. ¡°Damn! Ow!¡± I cried as I examined my knuckles which had some scratches now. ¡°First aid Kit too! God please!¡± Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx $Chapter Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Zachary Pov ¡°Go and find him!¡± I ordered my boys and without wasting any more minute they ran out of my room searching for the person whom I wanted in front of me at any cost. I am tired and I feel restless as I haven¡¯t taken a nap from yesterday. After that conversation with that woman who is my wife now, I went back to my room in thoughts of getting some rest but as if my fate wanted me to grow more tired than I really was, it brought me a new problem. And this is one heck of a problem. I sighed as I leaned against the wall raking a hand through my hair. If anything is changing in my life than its only one thing, and that is my patience. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. I have been growing impatienttely and with time my impatient is changing to anger. I can not bare a single human who doesn¡¯t work ording to me let alone go against me. I would shoot that person right on its head without even giving them the time to exin or do something to save themselves. I am growing a Violent man day by day but I don¡¯t care. If anything I care, then it''s my rules and things, should always be mine way. I hate it when it''s not ording to my way, what I have nned then its get really irritating to me. And the resultes out as death to whoever person is the cause of that disturbance. The ringing of my phone broke me out of thoughts. ¡°Not again!¡± I muttered as I picked up the call though I wanted to reject it desperately. ¡°What is it?¡± was my direct question. ¡°Is that a way you talk to your father?¡± my father spoke from the other end with his as usual business like cold tone. ¡°I don¡¯t have time for this all. Just say what do you want?¡± There was a silence for some seconds but then he began and somehow I knew what he was going to speak next. ¡°I heard that you got married. Is it true?¡± He asked with calm tone but anyone could point out that hint of anger in his voice. I rubbed my forehead for a headache growing even more and raked a hand through my hair. ¡°Is it true?¡± He asked again and this time his voice evident of being impatient. ¡°Yes! It is true¡± I enunciated his word and rolled my eyes. I was already waiting for his tantrums. ¡°May I ask what made you to marry in such a hurry that you didn¡¯t even think to invite your own parents to let alone your inform your mother?¡± He asked with a high tone. I chose to keep quiet because I knew nothing can get into his mind when he is angry. I heard him taking a deep breath before continuing again. ¡°Who is that girl?¡± He asked in a in tone. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know,¡± I said as I pulled the drawer open and took out my iPad. ¡°Everything you do is for me to know always and I want to know about this as soon as possible because this is about my son who is running my business now and if you are thinking you are the boss now then you are wrong. I will be always the real Boss and you my son is my only heir. So everything that will cause hamper to my years hardworking will be my concern. Because I will not let you ruin it. And you marrying some woman just like that is my concern¡±. I kept the iPad back on the table as his words struck my nerve. ¡°What I do and what I do not do was never of your concern, neither it is, nor it will ever be. And stop worrying about the business, because I am the one who is ruling now. You are retired. So go to some Ind with mom and enjoy your vacation. I can take care of all this by myself. So, just don¡¯t interfere now¡± with that I hung up on him and threw the phone on the table. Every time I talk to him, I get all this new headache. ¡°Sir?¡± I looked up to see one of my men standing the doorway holding a gun on his hand. I raised an eyebrow signalling him ¡°what?¡± ¡°We found a suspect. He is in the basement. I think you should handle this now¡± he said and I got up from the chair and walked out of the room with him following me. ¡°Who is he?¡± I asked as we entered a secret room, after I punched the code on the wall. The door slid open and we entered into a dark hallway. Everything about my ce is secretive. It has always been like this. Perks of being a Mafia Boss. But the world doesn¡¯t know about this. I am a Simple Billionaire Businessman for those people who doesn¡¯t know real Zachary Udolf Sullivan. My middle name Udolf means wolf which perfectly suits my personality. The name was given by my grandfather who is currently living in some private Ind enjoying his old days like some normal person with grandmother and his grandchildren who are cousins and have no rtion with this mafia world. My cousins probably have no idea about all this because my grandmother wanted them to live like a normal human being away from all this violence. She even tried to get me out of all this but being the only heir of the great Mafia leader who is my father, I had to take this responsibility. So, now I have to live a multiple life in which I am a sessful Businessman who stood on his capability earning all this fame, which really was indeed. I never used a single penny for those part. And the other is a mafia Boss who has to do all illegal works and rule the underground. Somehow, I have seeded so far in living both the parts but I don¡¯t know for how long I could do that. I have this prediction that someday, somehow my real identity will be out and then I don¡¯t know or don¡¯t even have any ns how to cope up with all that. But for now, I am concentrating only upon Today. Basically, I have no bright future. I envy my Grandfather. He was also one of the mafia boss. Might I say, very feared one. He ended his career by transferring his post to his heir that is my Father but not just in a normal way. To the world "The most wanted and feared Mafia leader Avim Ben Gon was shot dead by the force during the Peace meet. It was a sess to the peace meet". Silly people doesn¡¯t even know that it was all nned from the beginning. For Grandfather it was his retirement and of course he can not just retire like a normal private employee. He had to make a grand exit which he did. And of course ¡°Avim Ben Gon¡± which is a Hebrew name was not his real name. His real name is.. Well lets forget about it for now. I have heard many things about Avim. About how Ruthless he was. How he killed and murdered people. And some were even disturbing for me as it stated he even raped woman. But I was been told by my Grandmother that grandfather was the most sweetest man she ever met. And those were all rumors to provoke fear in people mind towards him or strategies of his enemies to get to him. He always respected woman and that is why she fell in love with him and decided to live her rest of her life with him. If it wasn¡¯t for grandmother, I would have totally believed all those rumors. Because, those can be true. Being mafia boss is not easy. Only one thing is needed for us and that¡¯s power. If we have power, we have fear for us in people. If they have fear, then we will rule. As long as people remains fearing us. We will be ruling. ¡°Its one of his men Sir, we found him today in our territory. He was probably here to get him some information about our moves¡± he spoke and I nodded. I think this is a way how I can free myself from all this headache, I have suffered today. When ites to violence, I am always the excited being. Time to meet fear in the eyes of that man who thought that he could easily get inside my territory and give them information. ¡°Oh how stupid!¡± I smirked as I witnessed the sight before me. A man was tied upside down from the ceiling with his hands tied, and his eyes were covered with a blind fold. He was beaten already as blood were oozing out of his head and forearms. ¡°Well Hello!¡± I spoke from the darkness as I entered the dimmed light room toward my prey who whimpered hearing my voice. ¡°I hope you had a nice day here!¡± was my only remark as I got more near to him. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Juliette Pov ¡°Can I call my family?¡± I asked for the second time to Zachary who was doing something on his mobile. ¡°Are you even listening?¡± I asked as I got irritated. He has been keeping on ignoring me from the time he has been sitting on this table where we were having our lunch. ¡°Can I call my family?¡± I asked raising my tone and this time he red at me. ¡°No!¡± was his only answer. ¡°But why?¡± ¡°Shut up¡± ¡°What? Why shut up?¡± I argued and he was the who shut his mouth merging himself back into his mobile. ¡°Will you even tell me why the hell I can¡¯t even contact my family?¡± I yelled. ¡°Answer me¡± I banged on the table when he didn¡¯t even bother. This got him because the next moment, he was beyond angry. He got up from his seat and walked towards me taking long strides. Once he reached me, he kept both of his hands on the hand rest and lowered down ring at me. ¡°What do you think you are doing here?¡± He asked in a low tone but anger evident clearly in his voice. I was confused on what he was asking but choose to keep my mouth shut. ¡°Do you think we are ying games here? Did you forget what I did to you? To your family. To that mutt whom you were going to marry?¡± He spat venomously talking about Emmett. My heart swelled up thinking about Emmett. Its already been three days since I have been here and I got no information on what happened to him and my family. ¡°I can never forget¡± I spoke in a low tone but at the same time ring at him while my eyes got watery. He smirked seeing my expression and stood straight adjusting his ck coat. ¡°Good that you didn¡¯t forget,¡± he said as he dragged the chair next to me and sat down on it while Whitney came into the room serving us our food. My hunger was lone gone. I could no longer eat when I think about Emmett. How can I eat when the love of my life to whom I loved with my whole heart went limp on my own arms and I couldn¡¯t even do anything to save him. I don¡¯t even have any idea if he was alive or... I don¡¯t even want to think anything like that. ¡°First of all, you ruined my life¡± I found myself talk when he ate his food not even bothering to pay any attention to my presence. ¡°Secondly, you married me. Forcefully¡± my voice was low while I stared at my food not even wanting to touch it. ¡°Then you killed him. Before my own eyes,¡± my voice broke as a tear slid down my cheeks. ¡°Do you have any idea how much I loved him?¡± ¡°Do you have any idea what I must be feeling right now not able to see my parents who probably haven¡¯t touched a grain worrying for me¡± ¡°I don¡¯t even have any idea what wrong did I do to you to get all this. At least let me know what was my mistake that you came like a storm into my life and ruined everything.¡± By this time I began to cry. I sobbed and took the tissue from the table and wiped away the tears that were flowing down my eyes. I heard him muttering something under his breath. And the next moment my eyes widened. Before me was his mobile phone. He kept his phone more like mmed his phone before me and began to eat his food. ¡°You have got only five minutes¡± he spoke his voice emotionless as he ate his food as usually not even bothering to look towards me. Hurriedly I took the phone and dialed my mother¡¯s number. I was feeling really happy. It ringed and my heart began to beat rapidly. It rang three to four times and then it got disconnected. ¡°What the-¡± was my only expression as I looked at the phone with a nk expression. She freaking disconnected the call. I looked towards Zachary to find him eating a food with a calm expression. Clearing my throat, I tried to call again. I dialed her number again, thinking maybe I dialed the wrong one the first time. It began to ring and mentally I prayed her to pick it up. But to my absolute irritation, she disconnected the call again for the second time. ¡°No! No! Mom, what the heck are you doing?¡± I whispered rubbing my forehead. ¡°You¡¯ve got three minutes left¡± I heard his irritating voice from beside me. ¡°The f***, ¡± I thought to myself. This time I dialed my brother¡¯s number. I am sure he is gonna pick up as soon as it rings. I dialed his number and waited for it to get connected. But to my absolute shock, it was sent to his voice mail. ¡°Damn!¡± I eximed as I began to panic. ¡°Two minutes le-¡± ¡°Yeah! Yeah! I know I know¡± I eximed cutting him off and looked towards him to find him already looking at me from the corner of his eyes with a smirk on his face. He was enjoying seeing me in distress. ¡°Kiara!¡± I said out of nowhere. She will surely pick up. Hurriedly I tried to remember her number. ¡°Damn these phones have made us weak,¡± I thought when I was unable to recall her number. But finally, I did remember her number. So getting little excited I dialed her number praying the non- existence Angels to help me. It begun to ring and fortunately she picked up only in three rings. ¡°Hello?¡± Her voice sounded tired. ¡°Kiara? Kiara! Its me! Juliette!¡± I screamed excited and at the same time relieved. ¡°Uh! Umm¡± was her only answer. ¡°Kiara?¡± I questioned. I thought she would have been getting excited or happy hearing me but her expression made me filled with anxiety. ¡°Who Juliette?¡± She asked and I huffed out air unbelievably. ¡°Kiara this is not the time to joke. Listen to m-¡± I was growing impatient now but she cut me off ¡°I told you I don¡¯t know anyone with the name Juliette. Please stop all this and do not call me ever again¡± with that she hung up on me. ¡°No! Kiara! Wait!¡± She didn¡¯t even bother to hear me. ¡°Kiara! Kiara!¡± I called but the line was end. I was totally shocked. Not in any way the woman to whom I talked was not Kiara. It was Kiara. It was her voice. Why the hell did she reacted like this? She doesn¡¯t know me? Tears formed in the corner of my eyes thinking that she was kind of betraying my friendship but then again this all didn¡¯t make any sense. What made her like this towards me? Why was she treating me, her only best friend with her cold shoulder? What actually happened? What the heck was going on in my life? Every people who were closed to me were distancing themselves away from me. Before I could dial again, the phone was snatched away from my hand. ¡°Time up!¡± He interfered my train of thoughts taking the phone away from me. Then it striked me. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Wait! Is this your doing?¡± I asked slowly and suspiciously. ¡°What?¡± He raised his eyebrow. ¡°Are you behind all this?¡± I asked and red at him when I noticed the smug look on his stupid face. ¡°Maybe¡± was his only answer. ¡°How dare you?¡± I stood up angrily as I red at him while he wiped his mouth using the napkin. ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± I yelled while he didn¡¯t even pay any attention to me. ¡°What the hell did you do with them?¡± I yelled as tears fell down on my shirt. ¡°Answer me¡± I yelled when he stood up keeping that stupid phone into his pant pocket. ¡°Nothing. Rx! They are fine and will be fine as long as you¡± he trailed a finger on my tear stained face with a satisfied expression on his face,pleting his previous sentence ¡°Behave¡±. ¡°I am not your dog¡± I pped his hand away and watched as a irritating smile formed on his lips taunting me. He looked beyond satisfied. As if he enjoyed watching me cry. ¡°I hate you!¡± I eximed while he stood there silently watching me with a smirk stered on his face. ¡°Of course you do sweetie¡± he eximed. ¡°And this is how I want you to always feel for me¡± hepleted and with that he turned his back on me and walked out of the room. ¡°I hate you. I hate you¡± I screamed to his retreating back angrily, wiping away the flowing tears. ¡°Do you hear me? I hate you. I just hate you¡± I screamed even more. I cried and fell on the chair sobbing silently. As I wiped the tears away from my face I looked up towards the room end to find Whitney standing their with a sympathetic look on her face. I wiped away the tears and got up from the chair, walking back towards my room. My appetite was lost. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Juliette Pov ¡°How can you tell that?¡± He asked as his eyes twinkled mischievously and he smiled at my impatient look. ¡°I know everything about you. Now give it to me¡± I said as I raised my hands to take that gift which he was holding. He brought a gift for me but the problem was he was finding it more of a fun to tease me by not giving it to me. ¡°Nope. I won¡¯t¡± he said as he raised the box higher in the air. I stood on my tip toe trying to get it but couldn¡¯t because of the height difference. ¡°Emmett!¡± I scowled at him and gave up crossing my hands over my chest frustrated. ¡°Fine! I am going¡± I said as I began to walk and as soon as I heard him shout for me to wait I inwardly smiled. This was the trick. ¡°Don¡¯t you want the gift?¡± He asked following me. I shook my head negatively and looked around the park to find children running everywhere ying with each other. Theirughter echoed in my ear and I smiled looking at them. ¡°Aww! But I brought for you¡± he pouted and I stopped in my tracks ring at him. ¡°And You are not giving it to me,¡± I said and he smiled. He came to me and stood behind my back wrapping his muscr arms around me he gave that box to me. I smiled and took it from him. While I unwrapped the box he kept his head on my right shoulder, his stubble touching my cheek and I could feel his hot breath fanning my ear. ¡°Oh my god!¡± I mped my hand over my mouth. Tears pooled my eyes and I couldn¡¯t believe my own eyes. Inside the box was a very elegant and expensive yet traditional ne and it was not just some ne, it was his mother¡¯s ne. It was his family¡¯s traditional which was passed down to every generation, to every new bride. ¡°It¡¯s It¡¯s..¡± I stammered not finding words to describe how beautiful the ne was. ¡°Beautiful?¡± Hepleted for me and I nodded smiling as I trailed my finger over the jewellery. ¡°But not as beautiful as you are,¡± he said his cheesy line and I blushed but nevertheless elbowed him lightly on his rib. ¡°But I don¡¯t understand. Why are you giving this me?¡± I questioned as I turned around to face him. He gave me a wholehearted smile and I raised my eyebrow questionably. ¡°Do you know why I love you so much?¡± He asked and I gave him a nk look. ¡°Because¡± he kept his hands on my shoulders and bent down maintaining our eye level ¡°You are so innocent and naive. So pure¡± he told me and I couldn¡¯t help but blush deep red at hisment. I felt him kiss my cheeks and the next moment I found him kneeling on one leg on the ground. I gasped as my heart rate spiked thinking about the possibilities that were going to happen. ¡°Ms. Juliette Swanson will you please do the honor to marry this Mr. Hot jerk as you call me¡± I chuckled at this ¡°toplete him, to mend him, to make him a better person?¡± By this time happy tears were flowing down my cheeks and I couldn¡¯t believe that the day I dreamt of was finally happening before me. ¡°Ms. Juliette Swanson, will you marry me?¡± He asked and I broke out of my state of surprise nodding slowly but as I was giving him my hand the ce surrounding us started to change and I looked around to find myself in a church where people were standing looking at me sympathetically. I frowned looking at their expressions. But as soon as my eyes looked down to where they were looking my breath hitched and I couldn¡¯t breathe properly because of shock. There I saw a woman who looked just like me wearing a bloodied wedding dress crying and screaming at no other one but Emmett. He lied on the floor, his head rested on that woman¡¯sp as blood oozed out from his body and stained the floor. ¡°Emmett!¡± I heard the look-alike of me cry. ¡°Emmett!¡± She cried, even more, when he began to close his eyes. ¡°Emmett!¡± I screamed running to him. But it was as if I wasn¡¯t reaching to him. The more I ran the far they looked. Slowly everything began to change around me and I cried it to stop. Desperation was flooding into me. I was desperate to reach him. My only desire was to touch him. ¡°No!¡± I screamed as the scene before me began to fade. ¡°No! Emmett!¡± ¡°Emmett¡± I screamed as I woke up gasping and panting for air. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and on my neck which I had to wipe it away using the back of my hand. ¡°Another nightmare¡± I spoke to myself as I rubbed my face in frustration. I have been seeing these nightmares since that day, my supposed to be wedding day. My hands stretched out towards my left towards the nightstand for the water jug. It wasn¡¯t there. Sighing I got up after ten minutes when I felt my throat burning. I needed water. So I got up from my bed and walked towards the door. It wasn¡¯t locked. Much to my relief or I would have panicked. I walked out of the room and slowly looked around for anyone. When I found no one I walked dragging my feet towards the kitchen. I was feeling really exhausted. It was as if those nightmares sucked up all my energy. As soon I got there, I pulled out a ss from the cupboard and poured water from the jug. I gulped it down my throat and instantly felt rxed. I closed my eyes and stood there until I felt my breath turning normal. Again I poured water into my now empty ss and drank it when I felt someone behind me. I looked back only to find no one other than the Devil himself. The real cause of all my nightmares and sufferings. I red at him and he raised an eyebrow shoving his hands into his pant pockets. ¡°What are you doing here at this time of the night?¡± He asked as he took small steps walking towards me. I remained rooted to my position and continued ring at him. ¡°Nightmare?¡± He answered his question probably seeing my state. ¡°Thanks to you¡± I whispered to myself but I think he heard me because he cleared his throat and took a ss for himself and poured water in it. He drank his water while I drank the rest of water from my ss. ¡°I need to buy some clothes for you¡± I heard him whisper and I raised an eyebrow at him then looked down to what I was wearing. Then I realized what he meant. ¡°Oh shit!¡± I cursed and looked up at him to find him looking towards the chair. ¡°Thank God!¡± I thought to myself and slowly walked backward towards the door. As soon as I reached the door I turned around and ran back towards my room. I closed the door and leaned against it. Keeping a hand against my rising and falling chest, I tried to control my breath. How can I be so stupid? I walked out just wearing purple shorts which had white polka dots on it and a purple tank top with nothing underneath it. Thankfully my breast was hidden behind my hair. But still, how could I walk like this in a strange ce. ¡°Ahhh!¡± I pulled my hair feeling little embarrassed. This is all his fault. This was all his fault from the beginning. I had no other option but to wear this as I didn¡¯t have any other clothes to wear. It is what I got from that wardrobe and I wore it because I couldn¡¯t roam around naked. Iposed myself and walked back to my bed. I crawled back into my bed and lied down on my belly and stuffed my head into the pillow. ¡°Is it necessary for you to embarrass yourself before him every time?¡± I scolded myself and flipped back staring nkly at the ceiling fan. ¡°Please Don¡¯t fall on me¡± I found myself talking to the damn nonliving ceiling fan. It¡¯s squeaking sound disturbed me, giving me a headache and at the same time made me worried. ¡°Fall on him¡± I spoke pointing towards the door. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Fall on his head then maybe he will get some senses into his thick skull¡± I spoke and stretched my hands and legs. ¡°I hate him and you should also hate him. He is not repairing you after all. What is your life?¡± I yawned and rubbed my eyes feeling sleepy. ¡°Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! is all that you do¡± I turned to my side wrapping my hands around myself. ¡°Stupid Zachary¡± ¡°Stupid Ceiling fan¡± I drifted off to sleep. You both can go to hell. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Juliette Pov I sat there wrapping my duvet around my with wide eyes as I watched a group of a man entering my room after knocking two to three times. My eyes fluttered open after I heard some knocking sounds on my door. Without thinking I gave the permission to the person to Come in guessing it to be Whitney and closed my eyes sleeping back. But then I heard some sounds and my eyes fluttered open only to find a group of a man entering into my room with some bags and some boxes keeping it on the floor. ¡°Wha- What are you all doing?¡± I asked as I broke out of the shock and wrapped the duvet more firmly to cover my body. ¡°Sorry for disturbing Ma¡¯am but Mr. Sullivan asked us to keep all these boxes in your room¡± one of them spoke and turned around leaving the room. I watched as more of them came into my room and they kept some other boxes before scurrying out of the room. By this time my room was full of bags and boxes. I couldn¡¯t even see the floor. The room was that packed. When all of them left I stood on the bed finding no ce to walk on the floor. I took out the rubber band from my hand and hurriedly tied all my messy hair into a ponytail and took the cardigan from the bedside wearing it covering myself. ¡°What the hell is all this?¡± I whispered as I shook my head and kept a hand on my hips. The door flew open and in walked with all his glory Zachary eyeing all the boxes and nodding to himself satisfied. He looked fresh. His hair was neatlybed back and it was still wet probably from his shower. He was wearing a full sleeved ck in shirt with his coat hanging on his arms and as always with a ck pant and ck shiny shoes. ¡°What the hell is all this and can¡¯t you knock beforeing in?¡± I asked crossing my arms over my chest and red at him. ¡°Last time I checked, it was supposed to be my ce,¡± he said and I rolled my eyes looking up biting my inner side of my mouth. ¡°I can walk in wherever and whenever I want. I don¡¯t need permission¡± he said and I scowled at his foolishness and chewed my inner side so harder that I swore I could feel bloody taste from that chewing. ¡°Oh yeah? Didn¡¯t your Mother teach you to knock before entering a woman¡¯s room?¡± I spoke sweetly. Very sweetly. ¡°Whatever!¡± He murmured and I huffed thinking that it was supposed to be mine line, not his. ¡°And what the hell are you standing on that bed?¡± He asked looking up at me and I shrugged pointing towards the boxes. ¡°What are all these?¡± I asked shockingly politely. He sighed and looked around all of the boxes. ¡°This are your necessities,¡± he told me and I furrowed my eyebrows confused. ¡°Necessities?¡± I questioned. ¡°Clothes and all,¡± he said and the way he eyed at my bare legs I swore to god I felt little nervous. His gaze was intense and his eyes roamed on my legs before looking up. ¡°Eyes up here Mister¡± I spoke Icily making him snap out of his little world. ¡°Right!¡± He cleared his throat looking elsewhere and then checked the time on his watch. ¡°Keep whatever you want and check if you need anything else. If you do then give a list of your things to Whitney¡± he told me and turned around to leave. ¡°Wait!¡± I spoke up and he stopped turning back raising his eyebrows questionably. ¡°I don¡¯t need all this, even more ¡± I said as I gripped my Cardigan tightly. ¡°And why is that?¡± He asked crossing his hands across his chest. ¡°I don¡¯t want anything from you okay. Isn¡¯t that obvious? I don¡¯t even know why the hell did you even marry me. You even kept me here away from everyone and God only knows what you did to them that now they are even denying that they even know me¡± I pushed back the hair out of my face angrily and walked towards him. The bed squeaked whenever I took a step. ¡°If anything I want from you then that will be Freedom. Freedom from you and Freedom from this ce. Freedom from all my nightmares. Do you understand?¡± I spoke pointing a finger towards his direction. ¡°Listen! I have had enough already. Don¡¯t start again with your Drama¡± he said and gave me a bored look which ignited my anger. ¡°Drama?¡± I snapped and walked, even closer to him with my blood boiling. ¡°Why yo-¡± my foot slipped and I lost my bnce falling towards the ground. I closed my eyes and gasped when I felt a pair of arms wrapping around my torso and the next moment I found myself hanging in mid air. Slowly opening my eyes I looked at the owner of those strong arms only to find him holding me by my torso saving me from the fall. My feet were still on the bed while I clutched his cor fearing that I might end up on the floor if I let go. ¡°At least watch where you walk¡± he spoke up and I couldn¡¯t get myself from opening my eyes. It was my fault. ¡°I think I should not have caught you,¡± he said and he loosened his grip on me scaring the hell out of me. ¡°No!¡± I yelled clutching his shirt even more tightly and closed my eyes waiting for the impact. I heard a chuckle and I opened my eyes slowly only to be held mesmerized by those brown orbs which did something unusual to my heart. I felt a spark on the ce wherever he touched me and surprisingly I wasn¡¯t hating it. Those cold and deep brown orbs looked so mysterious and secretive. It was like he was hiding a sea of mystery behind his warm self-making him into a secretive yet ruthless person. ¡°Listen to me¡± he spoke up and I broke out of my little world a bit startled that I was caught staring. ¡°Choose whatever you like and pack all your stuff. We would be flying to my home in a day¡± he said and I found myself nodding but then realization hit me hard and I red back at him. ¡°I am not going anywhere with you,¡± I told him and even tried to choke him clutching his shirt even more tightly. He smirked at me and raised an eyebrow then the next moment he threw me back on the bed and I yelled startled. I bounced a little on the bed which made some squeaking noises and I held my head feeling little dizzy. ¡°What the heck?¡± I snapped and took a pillow throwing it at him which he dodged easily and threw it back on the bed. ¡°Choose some decent clothes unless you want to roam around naked,¡± he told me and I looked at him with wide eyes shocked. My mouth opens and closed like a fish. I felt my cheeks burning and I gritted my teeth. ¡°And don¡¯t tter yourself thinking that I would even notice your body. I have seen better for your kind information. You will only make me want to hit my head hard on the wall for such¡± he gestured using his hand towards my body ¡°such you know what I mean¡±. He freaking insulted me? He freaking insulted a woman and that also me? ¡°Get lost!¡± I pointed my finger towards the door and he gave me his idiotic smirk and satisfied look before turning around walking out of my room. I got up from the bed and jumped up from the boxes hurriedly running into the bathroom. I stripped naked and stood in front of the mirror inspecting my body from every direction. ¡°Am I not attractive?¡± I asked to myself as I posed into a hot posture. Last time I checked I never had to ask this question to myself. Ever. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Kiara and even Emmett always told me that I had an attractive figure. An attractive feminine silhouette. My breasts were not that big as any bimbo but it looked good with round and full figure. My stomach was toned and t because all of my Yoga and my butt was also not that big but it was enough what a man would want. ¡°He is not a man¡± I snapped pointing a finger at the mirror. ¡°Bloody hell he hurt my ego and confidence¡± I even screamed shouting at top of my lungs. ¡°Seen better¡± I mimicked his tone and kept my hands on my hips. ¡°I have seen better¡± I threw my hands in the air as I stepped into the shower and turning it on. As the water touched my body I began to think whose body have I seen who can evenpete with his. ¡°Emmett was good but I think Zac-¡± I hit my head ¡°What is wrong with you? You are freakingparing that egoistic man to your Emmett?¡± I scolded myself and shook my head turning the shower into cold one. ¡°He is just a Stupid egoistic man who needs to learn how to be polite to everyone. Basically women. Especially me¡± I spoke to myself as I kept on ranting and shook my head at all his negativity which I suffered. ¡°Zachary Stupid Dog Sullivan¡± I grumbled to myself as I turned off the shower and wore the bathrobe throwing all my wet hair towards a side.
