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 WAS CURSING THE MAN"

Mary was silently crying. Jennifer tenderly hugged her and the latter started wailing. After about half an hour the atmosphere in the dining room returned to it's normal form.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I would have attended his funeral." Mary asked Jennifer in an accusing tone.

"I...he had asked me not to let you know when he would die, as your body is still weak." Jennifer lied without batting an eye.

"He...Anyways bring me to him." Mary was determined on visiting Felix.

"I will take you there tomorrow" Jennifer sighed. She had expected this to happen. Mary would never take no for this. She was a little worried about taking her mother to that house.

They both ate their dinner silently. Jennifer went straight to her room and locked the door.

"Hello George, where were you when Felix died?" Jennifer was sad with the death of her sworn brother, she almost forgot to ask someone about how he died. She first did not have any suspicion about his death; so she did not ask about it. But after careful thinking about the events which had happened today as well as in the past, she needed to know how he died. Hence Jennifer called George to ask him.

"I was in a shop purchasing things that my mother wanted. When I was going to pay the bill, the alarm sounded. So I immediately made my way to the house. It nearly took me 15 minutes to reach there. When I went inside, I saw corpses lying on the floor. Then I heard someone shout, I made my way to the second floor only to see Felix covered in blood, speaking with a man and then the man stabbing him in his chest. Without wasting time I hit the man to make him loose consciousness. It was too late because Felix died immediately after I went to check on him."

"Did something unusual happened when you went in that room, or heard them both conversing?" Jennifer had a hunch that something must have happened between the two of them and she just needed a clue to make everything clear.

"He was cursing the man." After giving a lot of thought George remembered Felix cursing the man before he died.

"Did you hear what he said?"

"He said...mm..he said something like you are the same and never have changed ba*tered and many more things. I think he had cursed them as they tried to assassinate you in the past too."

"How did the man react on hearing that?"

"He just stood there like a statue and closed his eyes before spouting 'good bye' then stabbing Felix in his chest. The man truly was very cruel to stab Felix in his heart. Poor Felix was truly shocked by the man's action. When I made the man loose his consciousness Felix cried out 'no!' and then he....lay there motionless."

When Jennifer heard George discribing the conversation between the two of them she was now sure about the doubts she was having earlier on.

She took a deep breath, "I am hanging up now." Without waiting for other person's reply she cut the call.

"This is clearly not simple as it looks." Jennifer decided to visit the house tomorrow morning. Just then she got a call from Ava, "What are you doing Alissa?"

"Nothing much, I was just going to sleep. Why did you call?"

"Are you free tomorrow evening? I want to take you to a party. I hope you will come pretty please.." Jennifer imagined Ava fluttering her eyelashes and pleading her to come to the party. She sighed, "At what time is the party?"

"7 in the evening."

"Okay then I would be coming. Let me know the venue and dress code."

"I will message you the details then. Bye bye...love you a lot girl. Muah~~ good night."

"Good night Ava."
