A tall slim muscular man sits up from his bed. His hazelnut brown hair disheveled from just getting out of bed. The man soon gets up from the bed wearing black joggers and a tank top. He stands near the bedside where he just has slept and began to stretch a bit and yawns as he picks up a T-shirt from his big walk-in closet in his bedroom, the room was white with a mirrored sliding door on the right on the left side of his room has a big king bed with red and white bedsheets which at the moment were messy, next to it was a small wooden nightstand with a lamp and an alarm clock on it. In the middle of the room was a table with a big flat screen tv and at the end of the room where you first walk in through the door, you are greeted by a big window that takes up the whole wall revealing a beautiful view of the city below it.

After grabbing the T-shirt he walks out of his bedroom and heads towards the front door yawning while sliding on the shirt before he opens out. 

'Aw fuck' The man thought to himself as he opens the door revealing a beautiful young woman around her early 30's wearing a knee-length black skirt, white blouse, and black heeled boots with long wavy black hair, big brown eyes, and an intense look on her face. Standing next to her was a little girl looking about  7-8 years old. she wore a fluffy pink dress, white cardigan, black flats, and two white bows tying up her hair to make pigtails. The girl had wavy black hair similar to the woman but had bright blue eyes similar to the man who just opened the door.

"Scott..." The woman growled as she pushed past him entering his home while holding the little girl's hand. 

"Jesse..." Scott growled back.

The woman spun around facing Scott glaring at him with her dark eyes. "Listen, Scott, I'm not trying to argue with you not right now not today, and especially not in front of our daughter."

"Pff that's rich coming from you. Also, if you didn't come to argue then why are you here?"

Scott rolled his eyes at Jesse and went over to the kitchen with Jesse following behind.
"Okay okay,  I get it damn but listen I have a favor to ask you"
"Oh Really?"

"Yes Really"

Scott scoffed at hearing that. He shook his head and continued to get a glass out of the cupboard and a bottle of whiskey and poured it into the glass.

"If I had a dime for every time you asked me for a favor..." he muttered. 

Jesse seemed distressed, "Look Scott please it's just a small favor and it's not that big of a deal. Sooner than you know it I'll be out of your hair. I promise."

Scott looks behind Jesse and sees the little girl sitting on a couch playing with dolls.

"Please Scott not just for me but for Emma too." Jesse pleaded. Scott turned around to face Jesse and then back to Emma.

"Fine but I'm doing this only for my daughter." 

Jesse smiled and seemed relieved that he agreed although he had no idea what the favor may be. 

"Oh Scott, thank you so much. I knew you'd say yes!"

" Yeah, you knew that because you knew my weak spot. Now, what exactly is the favor?"

A serial killer is on the loose tormenting the people of New York. The killer primarily targets liars and murders them in such a way it's unbearable to even think of all the torture and pain the victims went through before death and marks them with a chilling note engraved on them. Agent Adam Ziegler was put up to the case and now he must face the consequences that bring him. The killer doesn't like snitches either it seems. Nobody knows his motives nobody knows his preferences, nobody knows what will be his next moves
What will happen? Will the killer be caught? Is anyone safe? 

We all have said a little lie or two in our lives but is death worth the punishment? Maybe you should think twice before thinking about lying it may just cost you your life.

When I saw you, I fell in love ............ 

************************************ 

The Gold family was having a meal together, talking about Arabella's future. It was raining heavily outside, and because the clinking of dishes,they didn't hear the three cars that pulled up in the drive way. 

A man from the first car hopped out and, grabbed an umbrella, went to the passenger seat of the middle car and opened it for his boss. A well built and very tall man, elegantly got out, and straightened his fur coat. 

He had jet black hair that was neatly tied up in a bun,and the back of it was left to fall to his neck. His eyes were grey-blue, he had a light stubble, and one could see his butt chin.His jaw being athletic, and set with determination. He was clad in a total black attire, but even in a Russian fur coat, his arm muscles were very defined. Spotting him out as the leader was very easy, for their was an aura of power around him. 

"Open the door!" He commanded in a stern voice, his face void of any emotions, but his eyes bitter. Instantly, men from the third car burst the front door open, and it entirely fell off its hinges, with a loud thud. 

The three people on the table all jumped up from their seats in shock and fear. Mr. Gold quickly went to Arabella, and tried to shove her behind a big couch."Hide, quick!!" He urged. 

But it was a little too late for that,for the men had already stormed into the house and were now looking at the three people like an angry pack of wolves. Mr. Gold's face mirrored utter fear, his demons had caught up with him,and were now going to engulf his family too. 

"Steve, Steve, Steve,... am I interrupting something? " The head of the pack spoke, quite venomously, taking slow but precise steps towards the Golds. 

"You have the nerve to be enjoying a lovely meal, yet you owe me quite a staggering amount of money." He hissed, his face still held no emotion, and it was hard to tell what he was feeling. 

The man snapped his fingers and two goons came and pulled the table cloth from either side, throwing all the dishes and food on the floor. He now had a ghost of a smile at the corner of his mouth, satisfied with the job that had been done. 

"Line them up!" He commanded. The two men who had destroyed the dishes hurried and put the Golds in a line, facing him. He looked at Mr. Gold, then Mrs. Gold in the middle and lastly,his bitter eyes landed on a woman, young, probably their daughter,and something shifted inside him,but he couldn't put his finger on it. She was not too petite or too chubby,.....rather medium and just right, her eyes were hazel, and he thought the name Gold was perfectly befitting, from atop her head fell silky locks of dark brown hair. She had baby pink lips, and he couldn't help but wonder, what kissing them would feel like. 

Through his eyes,one could tell that the cogs in his brain were turning, for they glinted with mischief." Mr. Donnateillo, please,she has nothing to do with this. Let my family go, this is between me and you." Mr.Gold said. 

The man who has been addressed laughed in mockery, before his face became solemn and serious. 

"I think it is a little too late for that." He answered. 

"Please,I'll do anything, please let them go. They know nothing of my debt to you." Mr.Gold pleaded, but the look on the other man's face suggested that he was debating with a brick wall,and a decision had already been made. 

"Do you have my money in full?" 

"No...but I- I..I c-can...." 

"Who am I , Steve?" 

"Mr. Riven Silvanus Donnateillo." 

"Good, you know who you are dealing with!" 

Riven pulled out a fire arm from his waist band ,and pointed it at Steve's head, by now, Steve was a sweaty mess and if you listened really closely, you could hear his violent heart beat. 

"I'm simply tired of your games Steve, it's time to end this, don't you think!" He rhetorically voiced. 

"No, please don't kill him, please." Cried Arabella. Once again, something shifted with in Riven. First it was her appearance,now her voice too was alluring. He swallowed hard and gained composure once more. 

"You should not interrupt me when I'm busy. I can kill him because of your actions sweet girl." He spat at Arabella. 

"Please spare him, he needs a little more time!" Arabella said once more. Riven was taken aback by her sudden offer,he wasn't expecting a woman to make him second guess his decisions. 

"You're father won't be able to pay the debt,even if I gave him a thousand years. It simply can't be done!!" Came Riven. 

"Then let me help him. I have some savings,and I have a job now. With my installments and his installments we can pay a good amount monthly." She pleaded. 

Riven gave his gun to Igor,his right- hand man, and it only took him a second of thought,before he finally said 

"Done!! " Then turned to Steve, " I will expect monthly payments or I will kill all of you. You know how to make the deposits. And I expect no delays." 

"Roger, Igor, take the women outside!" One of the men grabbed Arabella and the other her mother,and took them outside of the house,and under a shade. 

Riven nodded his head this time, and two men gave Steve Gold a beating, which he only stopped when he was satisfied with the job that had been done. 

"This is a warning Steve, when I come back,I'm setting this whole place on fire, with or without your family." Riven said, and as he turned to leave, he made one last remark, "So don't make me come back!!" Then he exited the house,where someone was waiting with an umbrella for him. 

As he made his way to his car, he stopped where the women had been kept. "Don't do anything stupid! I wouldn't want to teach you your places too." He said, and didn't wait for any reply as he walked away into his car. 

The Gold women watched as the men boarded their vehicles and the convoy drove away. They quickly ran back into the house,only to find Steve beaten black and blue. But the beating was lenient because not much damage had been done. 

That was how beauty met the beast. After helping her mother clean up, putting her father in bed ,and covering up the space of the door, Arabella went up to her room and prepared for the next day. 

She put her documents together, and picked out an outfit for the next day. As she lay in bed, she played the images of what had transpired in her head. Riven was scary, and she felt silly that she found him very attractive. That was her last thought, before she succumbed into the arms of sleep. 

******** 

The alarm on Arabella's bedside table went off and she soon prepared for the day. Before she left she checked in on her father,who was doing much better at the moment. 

She reached her workplace and reported to the human resource department, where a lady briefed her about her new job. "I believe that is all you need to know, now come I'll take you to your work station"came the lady. 

They got into the elevator and went to the top most floor,which was the eleventh floor. Everything was so grandeur and it screamed "no expense was spared". From the decor to the furniture,it was possible to mistake this place to be a castle. 

Arabella was let into a room, which was quite spacious, and behind a desk, where floor to ceiling glass windows, through which gave, what seemed to be, the best view of the city. Around the room, sat large vases of small green trees and at the corner there were two couches of fine black leather,one long one short. And a fine table was placed before them. The floors and walls were made from, state of the art wood. 

There were two large doors that probably led to another room, but they were different from those in which they had come in. 

"Alright,this is your station,the boss will be in shortly. Good luck." She said and left without getting a reply. Arabella then turned her back and was setting 

her documents up on the desk, then she heard the opening and closing if a door. 

"You must be the new assistant and project developer!" The person said. It was the voice of a man, and she didn't know him very well, buy knew the voice very well. Arabella turned only to be met by the grey-blue eyed man from the previous night, Riven. 

Her breath caught in her throat and was at a loss of words. The reaction was mutual,as Riven's eyes too mirrored shock. The two just stood their, frozen in place,like a deer in headlights.

When I saw you I fell in love,and you smiled because you knew it. William Shakespeare. 

******************************

A huge sum of money owed by her father, gets innocent Arabella Gold's path to cross with Riven Donnatiello. But by setting his eyes on her for the first time, Riven is no longer just a ruthless billionaire who loans money to the desperate, and demands for a very high amount in return, rather he becomes a man whose heart beats violently for Arabella.

His money can get him everything he desires, but can it get him Arabella's requited love.

At Bradford's private villa, Katherine was staying alone. Her parents stayed at Germany with her younger sister. Adam Clive would visit her so often that he'd almost moved in to her place. 


Katherine Bradford came back from the university and pampered herself with a long, soothing bath. She came out of the bathroom in a silk robe. Just then her landline began ringing.


Tring! Tring! Tring! 


"Hello! Katherine Bradford here. Who's this?" She spoke in a highly authoritative voice.


"Hello Kate! It's me Ella. I need to tell you something very important. Do you've the time to hear me out?" Ella Dalton's girly voice sounded from the other end.


"Oh Ella! What's it?" She inspected her manicured fingernails while sounding disinterested.


"Something huge happened at the university after you left Kate." Ella Dalton gushed.


"Cut the crap, come straight to the point, spill it out sooner, else I'm going to hang up Ella." Katherine Bradford didn't even have the patience to listen to Ella. 


"Understood. Here's what happened...."Then Ella narrated everything that happened at the university. 


As soon as the news of Adam's pairing with Jayne reached Katherine Bradford, anger welled up in her chest and roared through her mind. "Argh!" She hastily hung up on Ella Dalton.


"Kate? Kate? Are you there?" Ella Dalton was left hanging.


She smashed the antique vase kept on her bedside table at the full length mirror in front of her. Her eyes burned with fury. "Jayne Roy! Who the hell do you think you are! First, you took my place in my college which I'd earned all these years and now you are already eyeing my boyfriend and taking him away from me? Dream on girl!"


Just in time, Adam Clive came to Katherine's private villa. He pressed the doorbell and waited for Katherine to answer.


Katherine knew that it was Adam who came. She darted towards the door and opened it.


"Honey!" She hugged him and began weeping.


"What's wrong love? Why are you crying again?" Since she'd just got out after an aromatic bath, the pleasing aroma was very seductive. He took in her scent while his hands began caressing all over her silk bathrobe. 


A slight moan escaped Katherine's mouth in between her sobs. "Adam!" She smacked his hands which were moving all over her body.


"Baby I can never see you cry. Please stop crying." He cupped her face and kissed her luscious lips. 


"Now tell me what's wrong?" He unwillingly pulled away from her and asked. 


"Who does she think she is? Trying to steal my boyfriend from me?" She asked while clenching her fists.


Adam Clive let out a laughter and circled his arms around her waist drawing her closer, "Nobody can dare do that baby! I'm yours! Only yours!" His body began reacting by then. He wanted to have her right there. With great effort he was controlling himself. 


"Really?" Tears shimmered in her eyes.


"Yes honey." He kissed her eyes.


By now, though they were talking about something important, their hands were busy wandering around each others bodies in between kisses and moans.


"As for this Jayne Roy, you don't have to worry darling. I've a solid plan for her. She'll be humiliated and sent out before she even begins her classes." He let out a villainous laughter. 


"Are you really going to do that baby?" Katherine Bradford's expression mirrored Adam Clive's laughter.


"Rest assured baby! Will you reward me now?" without even giving her a chance to reply, he picked her up and walked towards the bedroom, tore open her silk robe and began kissing her everywhere. Only their moans filled the air. 


-----------


Jayne who was totally unaware of how she'd offended the college beauty, came out from her class to see a driver waiting for her. She had just one thing on her mind all day, Ronnie!


She hugged herself in the car while looking outside the window. It was cloudy, showing signs that it would begin to rain any moment. 


She enjoyed the dove gray sky and the stimulating cool air. She'd a smile plastered on her face with a slight blush thinking about how Ronnie managed to shower with her and the hot romance which followed. She smacked her head thinking of it.


She asked the driver to drive her to Ronnie's 'Seaview' mansion since she wanted some time alone with Ronnie without the servants. 


As soon as she went inside, it began raining. Jayne went to the sea facing side of the mansion. She stepped out, raised her hands and tilted her face to let the raindrops kiss her. She smiled because for her, life was nothing but joy, the happiness which was so pure. She let loose herself and began dancing a song of love around the green backyard.

For him,

She was a mystery...

She was like an ocean with secrets hidden in the deepest corners of her heart.

But he wanted to take a chance to unravel the mystery, dive deep into the bottom of her soul.

He was ready to fight against the world to have her by his side. 

After all love cannot be one of the monotonous things of life..


'Though this is the first ever time I'm meeting her, why do I feel like I've known her for ages?

It feels like I was incomplete all these years even though I've the world at my command. Why do I feel like my soul is ripping apart to see her suffering in pain?' 

He had innumerable questions in his mind on looking at the girl in his arms.

He hugged her close to him and felt like it wasn't just her body that he was hugging the very first time...it was that lost piece of his own soul that he hugged after ages....

He finally concluded, "But for now all I know is, if we both have met at such unexpected circumstances and I've the urge to protect her no matter what, it only means that we were fated to be here together. The universe has surely conspired for us to meet.."



But what about the mystery girl? 



Will she wake up? 



What about her life? 



Does she have the same feelings for him as he does?  



Or does she have a past love too?

BRIA 

﻿I was going crazy sitting here. I couldn't sleep as my nightmares became worst than before after Patrick's... murder. No matter what I do my mind always drifted to those bad memories. I was missing my family. I wanted to see them smiling and happy one last time. I wanted to hug Benji and tell him how much I loved him. I never got the courage to tell him what he meant to me. I never got a chance to thank him enough for all he has done for me all over my life. 

And the fact that my life was going to end in just two months and three weeks was not helping me at all. Now as I think about it I realised how stupid I was to strike such a deal with a heartless criminal like him. The evil must have made him after a satisfactory Sunday brunch with detailed and careful design. But he forgot to place a heart filled with feelings when he felt sleepy due to overeating. 

 

I did not think about my life. I did not think about my dreams and aspirations. All I was feeling at that night was desperation. Desperation to save my family and provide them with a better future that I would never able to give them. I was not sure whether the devil is going to keep his word or not. But it was worth a shot, I guess. 

There was also this selfish part of me which was tired. I was tired of fulfilling my responsibilities. I was scared that one day every bird in my nest will fly away in search of a better life. Some of them even might never return to me. I realised this when Ava mentioned that she wanted to study engineering in New York. I swear her eyes twinkled every time she talked about her future. But I knew deep down that with the small fortune that was left with me and the little cash from the cafe I was not able to complete all of their dreams. And that thought was breaking my heart. Many people told me that it was a bad decision to take six children under the care when I knew that I would not be able to provide them with what they deserved. 

But if I get a chance to go back in time, I would not change a single thing about my family. They were perfect. They were what I always needed in my life. Benji never agreed with this though. He always said that they were not constant in my life. There was someone somewhere in the big world waiting for me who would bring that stability to my life. Someone who would give me all the love that the kids or he couldn't. He would fill that void with his existence. Aah! dramatic Benji! who knew that the grumpy old man had this romantic nerve in him and yet he was single all his life. 

I was snapped out of my train of thoughts when I heard the opening of the bedroom door. I was expecting scowling face of Gabriel or Cameron instead, a woman in her mid-fifties poked her head inside the room. I got up from the bed and sat there waiting for her to come in. 

"This is your dinner," she said softly and put the tray full of food on the bedside table. The steam coming out of it was intoxicating making my tummy monster purred in delight. 

"do you need anything, Miss-" 

"Maxwell. But please call me Bria." I smiled a little. 

She nodded her head a little. "Bria. Do you need anything else?" 

I shook my head. "no. This is fine. What's your name?" I asked curiously. 

She hesitated for a moment "Nora Santoro but call me Nora" 

"aah... Italian? Nice to meet you, Nora." I smiled widely at her and extended my hand to shake. She returned my smile with hers and shook my hand gently. 

"what do you do here? how come I did not get to see you in the last whole week?" 

"I am a maid here. I went back to my relatives in Italy to meet them. I returned this morning." She answered discretely but politely. 

"oh ok. um- Nora.. can I come downstairs to have dinner with everyone?" I gave her my best puppy eyes which I was very bad at, by the way. 

Her face split mirrored uncomfortableness. "I am not sure if it's a good idea, Bria. I have been given strict orders to not let you out of the room until they deal with you. I was not even supposed to talk with you for this long." 

My face fell "until they deal with me?" I questioned pursing my lips in a thin line. 

"Yeah. I mean you are here for a reason right?" 

"but that will take two months and three weeks" I groaned throwing my arms wildly in exasperation. 

She stood there confused thinking about something "what are you talking about?"
