The Secret Of The Beauty In Black

After that fateful night, everything changed for Jennifer. Gone was the girl who used to smile and laugh along with others, cry in their pain and help them in their need. What remained was only an emotionless vessel who just had one aim in her life: Revenge. -- "No one can control me anymore!! I will live my life as per my wish." She said with hatred in her voice.  .... "Heh...Love is what? The best thing that happened to you?? Tsk..tsk..such a fool. Remember, love is just another name of destruction. The ones who believe in love are all fools. I was also one of them, but not now. I will never fall in love again. Also, don't come crying to me once you face a betrayal." .... "What will it take for you to accept me?"  Jennifer looked at the man as if he had grown two heads!! "Mister I have told this earlier too, I don't want to get into a relationship, so why not stop chasing after me?" .... "Please tell me what should I do to make you mine?" The man pleaded. Annoyed by his questions about the same thing again and again, Jennifer finally replied, "If you can defeat me in a fight, I will think about it."  She was quite confident that no one could defeat her. ------   "You lost...." "No, this can't be true right," murmured Jennifer. She was totally confused and shocked. Never did she think that 'he' would be able to defeat her.  "So what do you want?" She asked with confusion laced in her voice. "Are you sure you will fulfil my wish?" He smiled much to her displeasure. "Yes, I never back down on my words." She spoke back with gritted teeth, showing her displeasure, even though she knew this decision of hers might lead her into something complex. "Marry Me," He demanded. "Wait what?!! But you are gay right?" This was her immediate response to his demand. Who in their sane mind would want to marry a gay? That too with the man with whom she was previously in a fake relationship. He chuckled and slowly bent down near her ear "You will know when you will marry me" he whispered. "You..." ---- Torn between the battle of her brain and heart, Jennifer doesn't know what she should choose?  Should she listen to her brain which was constantly signalling her of the alert or should she follow her heart, which would pound erratically for some handsome 'devil'? Because of her traumatic past, Jennifer had sworn never to fall in love again. To never let her heart skip a beat again for someone. But she fails, terribly; when a certain dashing devil enters into her dark world. Will this devilishly handsome man break the walls of her heart?  Will he be able to help her past her traumas and her insecurities? .... But wait! Who the hell is this man? Well...for that stay tuned and continue to read the story!! *It's a slow burn book, hope you enjoy it.

A BIG HEADACHE!!

"Get up Ava, it's time to go to work." Jennifer was trying to wake Ava, who was persistent and didn't want to get up.

"Stop being lazy. Get up now, it's already five." Jennifer continued to poke her hands and legs.

"Ahhh, it's just 5am. Why are you waking me up this early. I want to sleep some more." Ava dived inside her comforter and continued sleeping.

"Who was the one who had asked me to wake you up at 5am, huh?"

"It was my ghost. It must have haunted you in your dreams." Ava yawned but again closed her eyes.

Jennifer had no other option, so she used the best technique to wake a person up.

Remove the blanket and pour a glass of water on the face.

"Ahhhhh!! What are you doing Alissa?" Ava jerked up with her face wet and hair sticking all over her face and body.

"Get up now, or else I will deduct your marks."

The threat worked on her as she got up and dashed into the bathroom.

After breakfast they arrived at the company and like daily they busied themselves in their respective work.

Soon the sun brightened up on their heads. It was their lunch time. As the work was in abundance, the lunch was provided by the University in the company itself.

Emmett and Jennifer today decided to inspect the production department.

Jennifer noticed Natalie as soon as she entered inside the department.

A big headache!!

She ignored her presence and started inspecting the work.

Jennifer randomly asked a boy, "Till where is your work completed? Had the documents regarding the products signed?"

The boy was shy type, he adverted his gaze from her and showed her the papers.

"They are all signed. The final stamp of the CEO is required. As Mr.Auger is not present, Mr.Rabin's stamp may do."

"Good." Jennifer praised him and smiled slightly. The boys being shy, didn't say anything and excused himself.

Emmett was observing their interactions turned gloomy when he saw her smiling and talking to some boy.

He then and there decided that he will make her smile at him today at any cost.

Natalie was watching Emmett intently, but he didn't even look at her, as he was busy watching Jennifer.

Natalie gritted her teeth in anger. She had to get rid of the thorn named-Alissa. She would do just the same, she had done with other girl who had tried to get close to Emmett in her earlier two meetings with him.

Once a girl wanted to talk with him. She was pretty and shy. When Natalie saw this she instructed a waiter to put pills in her drinks.

The girl ended up embarrassing herself, by stripping down her dress in front of all the distinguished guests.

It was due to the effect of the drug in her drink.

Emmett who hated these types of incidents, ordered the security to take her out and never allowed her to attend events related to him.

Natalie was so much possessive of Emmett that she had once pushed a woman down the stairs, just because she was more beautiful than her and had greeted Emmett with help of her father.

Natalie's family was not that influential. Her father couldn't help her with these things. So she hated girl with powerful background.

As they were in college, hence Natalie had not tried anything so far. She couldn't afford to get caught and punished by the college authorities.

She had waited for this business trip. She wanted to harm Jennifer, but it was her luck or a mere coincidence, she heard Jennifer talking about her makeup.

She also heard her say, 'What will happen if anyone saw me without it. I can't let that happen.'

Hence Natalie changed her strategy. She would reveal Jennifer's real face at the University itself, in front of all the people.
