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.

MILLER FAMILY

"Mom I am back" Jennifer shouted from the front door. And just as she stepped in she was surprised to see three people in the living room. The three of them were stumped for words. The girl infront of them was like a lady from a portrait. Her silky hair shinning bright and there was a beautiful smile on her face. Her nose was upright and pointed, with beautiful pair of eyes. She was more attractive than those models and actress on the TV. They were mesmerized by her beauty and were staring at her with their eyes out.

"Mom,who are they?"

"Ohh Jenny you are back, come sit." Mrs.Diaz urged her. "They are the Miller family. You must remember aunty Norma, she used to visit us when you were young."

"Hello uncle and aunty, nice to meet you."

The three of them were in a trance and only reacted when she called them.

Mrs.Miller spoke, "Oh my! Mary you have such a beautiful daughter." She then turned to Jennifer "Come sit beside me Jennifer. You have surely grown up into a beautiful and refined lady." Jennifer just smiled politely.

"Norma has come back from Senlis just to visit you, so take the three of them out."

"Yes yes it has been long since I visited Paris and it has already changed a lot. It will be my pleasure to travel with you."

"Oh by the way I forgot to introduce him." Then she turned to a man who seemed to be in his twenties, he was completely mesmerized by Jennifer and had not taken his eyes away from her for a single moment since she had come.

He was dressed in a black tuxedo. He was also considered a handsome man. "He is my son Martin. He helps his father in the company and has achieved many awards for his outstanding performance.

"Hello, nice to meet you Jennifer, I am Martin Miller." Jennifer smiled in response.

"You must be in your twenties Jennifer" asked Mrs.Miller.

"Yes aunty, I will be 23 this year."

"Oh my its perfect then. Martin is 25 years old. It will be good to know each other. Nowadays young people meet, fall in love and get married. So you should both get to know each other."

Jennifer was startled by Mrs.Miller's frankness. 'She has not yet ask me whether I have a boyfriend or not and is already trying to set me with her son.' Jennifer thought to herself. Her mother surely knew that she was coming to Paris today but did not say a word about it.

"Ah, sorry aunty I do not plan to date anyone in next two to three years."

"Oh it's bad that you don't want to date now. But you can at least try to get to know each other right?"

"Yes aunty" Jennifer gave up explaining.

Mr.Miller who was quiet the whole time spoke, "Jennifer, what type of job do you do?"

"I am an employee in Sidon."

"Oh I see."

The five of them chatted for few hours and as Jennifer had just travelled and was tired, so she excused herself and went back into her room.

She opened up her Twitter account. She kept scrolling down. A title caught her eyes "RASMON ENTERPRISES HAS FINALLY TAKEN OVER ITALY'S MAIN UNIT."
