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 IS ALIVE!!!"

Jennifer avoided Emmett's gaze.

She subconsciously shifted further away from him. It was better that she create a safe distance between them now and in the future so that he could not get any clues about her.

Matthew explained them about the current status of the company. They were facing financial problems. As the company was new, the employees recruited were less. This led to the problems that the company was facing.

Melvin himself was going to come and solve the problem, but then he heard about the assignment given to the students of HEC by Emmett. He first declined, afraid that the students may increase his workload.

But he sighed in relief when heard from Emmett that he himself was going to help in it. Who would not be happy if the big boss was going to help.

Of course Emmett had his own reasons for readying himself for helping his cousin brother-in-law.

This sly man wanted to find more about Jennifer. He wanted to confirm, if that woman was the same from two years ago.

The both of them were then escorted in a room and left alone to talk.

But what was there to talk about? Jennifer did not want to have a single word exchange between them. Ava had told her that Emmett did not talk much, hence she could be considered lucky.

Alas! the man had some different plan. He kept staring at her intently; mainly in her blue pair of eyes, beyond her big round glasses.

In a hotel suite,

"Hello brother. How are you doing?"

A man's husky voice sounded from the other side of the phone, "I am fine. What are you doing nowadays?"

"Advancing on knowing few capable people. They may come to use in the future." He gave a sly smile.

"But why is your voice so hoarse brother?" He continued, worriedly.

"Had a hangover from last night's drink. My throat is a bit uncomfortable from all the drinks. By the way, when are you planning to come back home, Adam?" The man asked gently.

"Are you still hung up on that b*tch brother? She meant harm for you. Why don't you understand?" Adam got irritated. He clearly knew that his brother would drink in his sorrow, reminiscing about her death. He had a high alcohol tolerance, but whenever he remembered that girl, he would get drunk. And last night he must have drunk a lot because it was a special day for him. He had met her first time on that day.

"Adam!!" The man on the other end gritted his teeth, "I have told you several times not to insult her. Why don't you understand? My doll was....." He breathed out and continued, "Nevertheless, do not ever insult her again Infront of me." He threatened in a low voice.

"She is dead brother. You have to get over her, she is gone... forever."

"She is alive!!!" The man roared, "She will eventually come back to me. I will search every corner of the Earth to bring her back." He hung up the phone in rage.

Adam sighed. She had made his brother loose his mind forever. He was unwilling to accept her death.

Back in 'Waaifort D & S Cooperation',

Jennifer was getting flustered by the man's intense gaze. If this goes on she would be burnt down alive by his scorching gaze.

Ava had told her that Emmett did not take the initiative to start a conversation. Left with no other choice, Jennifer opened her mouth, "What are we suppose to do now? I mean have you had any ideas?"

The man was silent for a long time and when Jennifer thought that he was not planning on answering her, he simply replied "hmm."

Jennifer: "..."

'Is this man's brain functioning in a slow pace. Who takes this much time in answering a simple question and that too with just a simple word "hmm" which meaning is difficult to decipher based on my question.'

Jennifer gritted her teeth and spoke, "What do you mean Mr.Tessier? If you have any ideas, please do the honour to share with me."

"No." The man heartlessly rejected her.
