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.

HE TOOK A CLOSER LOOK AT HER AND SAW HER FROWNING

Jennifer stared at the man who had not touched his food for five minutes since it was served.

After she had casually commented that she was hungry he had ordered the hotel staff to send them French bread, Jam and Oeufs cocotte and two glasses of milk.

It was coincidental for both of them that they preferred drinking milk in the morning.

While having a piece of the French bread Jennifer again looked at the man who still hadn't touched anything.

'What is he daydreaming? Or he didn't like the breakfast?'

Shrugging, she decided to continue eating. Why should she care about him? He was the one who had ordered breakfast.

She was hungry due to the events yesterday. She hadn't eaten her dinner last night and it was the same case for Emmett.

After he saw Jennifer sleeping peacefully he decided to end it for the day.

He was also not feeling hungry so he just proceeded to sleep for that night.

But who knew that the sleep he wanted would never be granted.

Since the breakfast had arrived he had seen Jennifer drinking water a lot of time. She had even finished the half litre bottle in the span of twenty minutes.

He hadn't asked her why she did so but he was intrigued by her habit.

His comment on bringing more water with him whenever they would be together in the future may sound stupid and a bit childish but he had a reason behind this. It was all because of yesterday night.

And seeing how she drank the water now reminded him of the events that happened last night on the bed they had slept.

Flashback,

When he had layed beside her and was going to close his eyes to sleep, he had felt the girl moving a little.

He took a closer look at her and saw her frowning.

She was also muttering something.

First he had ignored her thinking she was again dreaming about him.

But after few minutes when he looked back at her, she still had the frown on her face and continued murmuring something.

Hence he shifted closer to her to hear what she was murmuring about.

"Water....water."

Finally after hearing her from close did he understood that she was asking for water.

Getting up from the bed he took a bottle which was on the bedside table. He went near her side as he tried to wake her up.

But she was sleeping like a log and wasn't waking even after few tries.

Hence Emmett decided to feed the water to her. Opening the cap he gently held her head as he lowered the bottle's opening towards her mouth.

He whispered slowly, "Good girl. Drink the water now."

But Jennifer wasn't even opening her mouth which resulted in the water to flow down her chin and it ended up wetting her jacket.

He once again tried but the result was same.

Hence he decided to sit and feed her water.

If he had wanted, he would have left her thirsty. But he deeply cared about her so he had decided to feed the water to her.

Sitting in the little space on her side of the bed, he gently put her head on his thigh as he pinched her chin to open her mouth.

But yes don't go on drinking cold water like Jen. She had to do that to calm her anger. Drink more warm water.
