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.

SHE HAD TO AGREE THAT THE MAN WAS WAY TOO HANDSOME

"I did write it in the contract." Came out his reply.

"But didn't I say that I wasn't okay with that clause?" Jennifer countered back.

"But I didn't agree with it. Did you forget you have signed the contract even if it is not a fair copy?"

Jennifer frowned. If this kept going on then how would she be able to separate from him earlier.

She also couldn't counter back. She had herself signed that copy and also she couldn't change anything now.

Just then the door bell rang. Emmett got up from the couch he was sitting to attend the person on the door.

Emmett opened the door and a man greeted him, "Good morning Mr.Tessier. I was sent by Mr.Travis to give you this file."

Emmett nodded and took the file from him. Closing the door, he went by to sit on the couch, which was opposite to the one on which Jennifer was sitting.

Emmett opened up the file to see the newly renewed contract, along with the old one.

Crossing his legs, Emmett sat leaned back on the couch as he went through the contract.

Meanwhile, Jennifer was silently observing him. His every move screamed about his upbringing. His moves were graceful and pleasing to the eyes.

She had to agree that the man was way too handsome.

But it was truly pity that he turned out to be a gay!

After reading through the whole contract, he put it on the table between them.

"This is the new contract and the clause you wanted are added to it. You may read it once again and then sign on it."

Jennifer who had been watching him since he left the room was actually curious about the contents in the file when she saw how seriously he was going through it. But she didn't voice it out.

After coming to know it was the contract, she was a little surprised. Didn't he asked his assistant to make the contract fair?

How come his assistant was able to do this job within a night when he had to travel back to Paris and then re-draft the contract?

What she didn't know was that the devil had ordered his assistant to send him the contract before ten in the morning and it was around nine o'clock now.

But she didn't question him and just took the contract.

Her eyebrows twitched when she read the second clause.

Why the hell had she signed when she hadn't even confirm what duties she would have to do?

Though the clause stated for her to perform duties of a girlfriend, it was also applicable for Emmett.

This was the last point in the contract.

[8. Applicable for both parties.]

Jennifer blew out the air which she felt she was holding back while reading the contract.

If one would read it carefully twice, then it didn't actually looked like a contract for girlfriend, it looked like it was specifically made for the slaves.

Alas, she didn't have a choice.

"Pen." She forwarded her hand.

There was a pen stand on the table which was near to Jennifer but she didn't take it and rather asked him to give her.

Emmett raised his eyebrows. The only girl who dared to order him like this was the one who was sitting in front of him having no intention of taking the pen herself.

She was clearly dissatisfied with the contract and was finding ways to punish him for that.

Smiling lightly, Emmett randomly took a pen from the stand and kept it on her outstretched hand.
