Nahla

“Are you scared?” His alluring eyes hold me captive like they have since the first moment we met. Back then I held his life in my hands. Now he holds mine. I smiled “No. Are you?” He looked like death itself. Cold green Eyes that even captive me. Dark hair cut short that moves in the wind. Dressed in black silk with a silver sword in his hands. A sword that will end my life in mere seconds. “Yes.” Nothing but a soft whisper. “I’m terrified. Of you. If whatever spell you cast over me. I’m terrified that I will loose you, and I hate it. I hate you.” Only I could hear. I was always the only one who saw his weakness. Until I became it. “You don’t.” We looked each other in the eyes. I show no fear, I refuse to let him show the pain and fear that is hidden deep inside me. I refuse to show how my heart is bleeding. How my fragile ripped heart is bleeding. Bleeding for him, my executioner. “You love,” he flinched at that word. “Me.” He growled at me. “Shut up. Just shut up.” He glared malicious at me. I only give him a sad smile. “I loved you too, you know.” I laughed bitterly. “I loved you so much I was willen to ruin myself for you.” He shakes his head like he is in pain. “It’s funny, isn’t it? How the one I sacrificed everything for, is the one who will end me. The one I loved believed their lies but tell me, why should I do it? What would I gain?” He doesn’t have an answer. “I gave up everything for you. Everything.” My hand clenched in a fist. “I’m not afraid because I have nothing left to loose.” He raised his sword and I close my eyes. This is the end. I will finally meet death by the sword of my lover. Far away from the ocean. Miles away from my home and heart. I feel the cold steal against my throat, the tip of his sword under my chin. He slowly pushes my head up. “Open your eyes.” I refused. “Open your fucking eyes, Nahla.” This time I obeyed. Our eyes lock for the last time. A pained look appeared on his face. My one face was blank, calm, ready for the death that awaits me. With a uncontrolled movement he threw the sword away, the unpleasant sound of metal meeting stone fills my ears. He took two steps to me and grabbed my face. Gentle, almost like he doesn’t want to hurt me. “You are fucking mine.” He growled. This time there is a look of determination on his face. “And if anyone dares to take you from me. I will destroy them.” Then he sealed out lips together. _________________________________________________ Inside for more information and full summary

Please, it’s just a Story!!

“Did anyone ever say you’re a bad liar?" His penetrating gaze never left her. Elaina shivered and didn't dare look at him. She felt that if she looked up, she'll lose the confidence she had. But if she continued to look away, the more sure he was that his assumption was right. The dinner was already stressful and now that he found her real identity, he won't let her go so easily. She had been deceiving him from the day she heard him say 'find the author'. "Elaina Tan, which are you?" He asked, not taking his eyes off her and continued "Are you my executive secretary, daughter of the famous designer Alta, a famous comic artist that published Detective Izumi or the granddaughter of the famous Glowne family?" His tone was cold but had a bit of playfulness in it. The amount of regret Elaina could go on forever. She should have said no to the blind date and look where she ended up at now. A dinner night with the devil himself. He suddenly got up and it startled her and she unconsciously looked up and met his dark midnight eyes. The sight left her in a daze, as he approached her. She couldn't take her eyes off him. He trapped her between his arms and brought his face down to the dazed Elaina. "Well it doesn't matter whoever you are." He continued "At the end of the day, you'll be Ms. Lee, wife of Kazuki Lee," and he gave her a kiss on her cherry like lips. Elaina looked at the man with wide eyes. Why does she feel that she suddenly walked into something that she couldn’t escape? Maybe in fact, that she probably had long fallen in his trap. "Even if you hide, you can't escape a Lee. Just know that." Kazuki’s faze never left her watery eyes. - - - - - I’ll always update 1 or 2 chapters on Wednesdays and Sundays. The cover is obviously not mine and the original cover belongs to the one who made it. Also I’m a new writer! So please support me and help me with my clumsy mistakes!!?

Breaking The Guardians Curse

Phoebe couldn't believe what she just heard. "Mom, I don't understand. How do you mean, you are not our mother?" "I met Gwen and Chad on the street all alone and I had no other choice but to take them in." "Did you find me on the street too?" Claudia shook her head and stood up. She went close to the window, staring at the abyss. It was like the past was calling out to her. "Your mother gave you to me." "Why? She didn't want me anymore?" "No, your mother was a very nice woman. She cared for everyone in the kingdom. I still remembered how she stood up for every woman when they were being cheated on in the kingdom." "Kingdom?" Phoebe asked. Claudia looked at her and said, "You come from a kingdom called Havilla, that was where you were born." "What happened then? Why did I leave? Why did my mom give me to you?" "There was a massacre going on in the kingdom and your mother was among the unfortunate few." Phoebe tried so hard to withhold her tears. These people were strangers to her but why does it hurt so much? "And my father." "Your father was a guardian of messages. He delivers messages to the people but he did something that was against the rule of the guardians and he had to pay for it with his life." She walked up to meet Claudia and asked, "What did he do?" Claudia looked at Phoebe and smiled, "He fell in love with your mother. Guardians falling in love with humans was a crime but no one has control of his or her heart. We can't dictate to our hearts who to love. Their relationship was a beautiful one but it wasn't meant to be."
