Chapter # 12

Finding herself in his shirt while he was only in his trousers, lying on his stomach with his hand over his woman. Reflecting his hot body, evoking a blush from her where her body burned in the fire of lust with him. The way their bodies collided, how his name escaped her lips desperately, how greedily they held each other. From the sound mixing, to the sweat dripping. It. Felt. Heavenly. They both waited for each other for a devilishly long time so it felt divine to be this near. 'Only if I could ever tell," She whispered to herself. Only if she had enough words to pursue how much he meant to her. With a pure smile, giving up her everything, she was solely focused on him, remembering their old moments. Reviving their felicity. BACK, They were preparing for a test in their highschool. Though their courses were different yet she liked to study with him. He helped her to focus. 'Argh, I hate studies, if it wasn't for my father, I wouldn't even do this course," She groaned, slamming her book closer. With a frown, her head rested on the boy's shoulder who was engrossed in his book like always, smirking at her habitual whining. 'But, I like it when you get good grades. It makes me proud, won't you do it for me too?" He whispered, glancing to boost her spirits. And it was a hidden part- more than to impress her father, she did this for ‘him,' She blushed, looking away shyly, ‘I could do anything for you,' But, controlling her hormones, she stopped herself. 'Why would I do anything for you?" She mumbled, placing her chin on his shoulder. Grabbing his jaw, she made him stare intensely into her eyes, when their faces were extremely close with visible affection. The pure form of endearment for each other. 'You can ask me if you need anything," Nathaniel whispered lovingly. Kissing her cheeks, giving her a sensation of cloud-nine with a chuckle before going back to his book. She frowned, 'You are doing medical, I am doing engineering," 'So?" 'Sometimes, I wonder, Nathaniel, if this is going to ever help you or not? You have all the power in your palm then why study?" She mumbled. Ignoring her books completely and wrapping her hands around his arm, relaxed in his proximity, finding her tranquility with him. It felt so delightful. His amusement vanishing at her question, he sighed in disappointment. 'I am not a killer, I am not like my mother," He enunciated. 'So what will happen to all your wealth and businesses?" She questioned playfully, earning a smirk from him. 'Why don't you take that corrupted money? I have no interest in it," 'I gladly will and so will your position," She giggled, moving her hand to pinch his cheeks. 'Hmm, hmm," He smiled, allowing her to cling onto him wholeheartedly without complaining. 'Come on, Nathaniel, why? Why are you so uninterested in this topic and your mother?" She asked. She had noticed that at the mention of his previous life, he lost interest, he lost his glee. As if that made sour. Closing his book seriously, he took her wrists in his grasp and turned to her sternly. She became hesitant at his sternness as he continued. 'Because I don't like those things they did, their work. It- it was scary, Zari, and I don't ‘ever' want to be like them," 'I will become a doctor, I will save lives, I will become a better man like my father," He declared, the future he planned for himself. He was determined, he was resolved to lead a better, respectable life. 'I will never become cruel like those people," But sadly, his fate also entangled him in the same abyss his mother was trapped. His resolve failed, he failed. PRESENT, Coming back from that moment, she smiled sorrowfully, trailing her fingers to his face to his brown locks. Brushing against his beard, earning a humming resonance from him accompanied by a smile of solace. Happy that after endless struggles, at least he was where he wanted to be. She became an ace how she wanted. He became a doctor how he wanted. 'Oh, how much you have suffered but finally reached your goal," She whispered. 'I sure did," Placing his hand over hers, he brought them near his lips, kissing them while opening his eyes. It felt exhilarating to have two things he desired the most with him. 'Morning," Giggling shyly, enticed by his hot body, those six packs, the ripped muscles and scars to show his endeavors. Everything made him look beautiful which tempted her but when she got up to leave, he grabbed her wrist. 'Where are you going? Stay here with me,"he asked, yawning. Smiling faintly, she sat back. To her elbow so her other hand could trail from his strong shoulders to his neck, holding her mark to ruffle those hair. The serenity on his face made her feel strange. It clenched her chest along with some unwanted realization which were noticed by him instantly. 'What happened?" He chuckled groggily. 'Just thinking," 'What?" Pausing, she removed her hand and sat up gradually, fidgeting her fingers around the sheets anxiously. 'You… weren't like this, right?" 'Hmm?" Nathaniel arched an eyebrow out of bewilderment. 'How you wanted to be a doctor but look where life- our promise left you." She chuckled, cursing herself that the one who brought him on this path was her. He never wanted to come back, never urged to be like those murderers. But, look, he reached the position of the biggest criminal. 'Don't blame yourself," Sighing, he sat up, cupping her cheeks to reassure her. 'Why not? Say you didn't return to take me away from darkness, say you weren't preparing all this for me?" She murmured sadly, failing to meet his eyes. 'I was but-" And her voice broke, 'I am your culprit…" 'Zari, don't place it like this, I willingly choose this path, okay?" He whispered, forcing her to meet his eyes. To witness his in-depth feelings that he would go through that over and over again for her sake. Her mouth gaped when madness in his eyes became visible. 'How crazy are you for me, Nathaniel?" He smirked, tugging her hair behind her ear, 'Only if I could pursue enough words to explain that," Eyes traveling down to her revealing thighs, looking so desirable in his shirt and those scattered hair. Turning him on more than she could fathom. But, breaking his trail of tempting thoughts, she suggested happily. 'Then why don't we continue like this? Get married, I will be your housewife, you will go to the work at the hospital, we will have kids-" 'Do you think it's that easy?" 'Why not? When Prince can have it, when Sebastian can have it then why can't we, Nathaniel?" She argued. 'That monster, that man who considered humans as objects is now a father of twins then why not-" 'Because I am not done with Zoran, that dust of my shoes had forgotten its values," He declared strictly, parting his hands from hers. 'Even after becoming a real doctor… you want to take lives?" To say she was shocked would be an understatement, and amid this disbelief, an innocent question was released by her lips. 'What is it that is tying you to him so ruthlessly?" INDIA When Zariah and Nathaniel were flaring their souls into passion, mending bonds and living a moment they never got a chance to live. Someone was fuming at their connection. Like hell he would ever let him hold what he cherished. Like hell he would ever allow this to occur. 'Tsk," Zoran growled, crushing the glass in his hand, causing the shards to hurt him but he showed no reaction. 'What you are about to do is nothing but a herald of destruction, Zoran," The man with him sighed. 'And you think what me and my family went through was fair?" Zoran snarled, glaring at him. Shrugging his hand in the air, he spilled the blood on the ground, taking out the shard heartlessly. 'If I had to fall low in my own eyes, break all boundaries to kill him- I will," 'Good luck. I am looking forward to what he will do to you," His partner chuckled. 'Don't worry, those days where I used to be afraid are done." Exhaling, Zoran regained his dark aura and rose from his seat, staring at the blood flowing out of his hand hysterically. 'Now, his time to be afraid had started," AMSTERDAM 'What is it that is tying you to him so ruthlessly?" Zariah was genuinely curious at this point. What was it that he was not letting go of his matter? Forming his lips in a thin line, he let out a disappointing sigh. 'I honestly never wanted you to find me… in this state. I wanted to conceal my hatred," 'Why?" 'Because it had made me a monster, Zari! And I-" He snapped but before he could express where this wrath had left him, she pressed her lips upon his. She didn't kiss, just sealed his lips by placing hers. Holding his face in her hands, she smiled, closing her eyes so he could comprehend that her mind only revolved around him. He was taken aback, holding her waist with his both hands before pulling away breathlessly. And to capture him in her world, she confessed- 'And I worship you in every way, my darling," His heart skipped a beat, unable to control himself around her. His fingers raked in her hair, pushing her down on the bed to kiss her passionately, dominantly, desperately. His lips moving hopelessly over hers, gripping onto her skin as if it belonged to him- he would make it. 'Fuck, you drives me insane," Raking those fingers down to her inches, earning an uncontrollable moan from him. 'Aren't you getting late?" Laughing huskily, she placed her hand in between which he removed instantly. 'Fuck that," He growled. Capturing her lips again hungrily, pinning her hands beside her head and before they could to satiate their thirst- Zoran made his move. And a blast occurred in their building…
