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.

'MY HEART IS CLEAN AND PURE?'

By the time she came back to the class, Ava and Emmett were already seated on their respective places.

Ignoring their presence Jennifer made her way towards her seat.

The moment she sat down, she heard a lively voice, "Hey Alissa! what is your decision?"

Ava immediately sat down beside her and started her bickering.

'What a headache?'

"I don't think we suit each other. The relationship will not last long, so you should stop asking me the same question." Jennifer explained everything calmly.

"Aiyy no, no....who said you do not suit each other. Let me tell you Alissa, even though you are not that good looking, but your heart is clean and pure. Beauty resides in your heart. Frankly speaking, I think that you both certainly suit each other."

'My heart is clean and pure?'

If Ava would have known that she had killed many people would she think the same.

To stop her bringing the topic further, Jennifer replied, "Okay, I will once again think about it. But let me tell you that I may not immediately start dating I...."

Ava interrupted her, "No problem, no problem you can start after a week or a month."

Jennifer creased her brow, "I mean I will think about dating after 3 to 4 years."

Ava was speechless.

"By dear sister, my brother will turn 31 after 3 years. Do you want your child to call him grandpa in the future?"

This time Jennifer was speechless.

'Girl aren't you thinking too much of the future. What child? And call him grandpa?'

If Emmett would have known that he was being compared to a grandpa that too by his own cousin, then he would surely turn green from anger. Who likes being called old.

Once when Derek had called him old, he was send to South Africa for 1 whole month.

When Jennifer wanted to put forward her thoughts, the door to the hall suddenly opened and Professor Rains came in.

"Good morning students. As you already know that we go on a small trip to another city for enhancing your business ideas and views. This time too, we are planning to take you somewhere near. Probably we would be going to Versailles this year."

A student questioned, "What would be the concept this year?"

"We will be judging you based on six things- leadership skills, accuracy, communication skills, time and sense foresight, alertness, consistency and dependability. You will be given some business related problems which you will have to solve and then provide us with a perfect solution. One problem will be common and one will be given to each person. We have few business branches in Versailles, they are taking up some new plans. You will be helping them. The business trip will be of 2 weeks. The dates are not fixed. Probably we will be leaving in 7-8 days. So prepare accordingly. The rest of the instructions will be provided to you day after tomorrow. Now, no questions please. Let's start with Finance section, open page 16.189 of your second book. So here they have given a project worth 50 million which was...."

When the lecture ended, everyone started whispering about the trip.

Ava was also very excited. She took Jennifer's hand and started swaying it, "Are you going to come Alissa?"

Seeing her friend this excited, Jennifer did not want to make her wistful so she replied, "Mhmm, yes I will be coming."

Ava's mood brightened and hence she almost forgot her real plans for the day. She had to make Jennifer agree to date her brother.
