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.

'WHY WAS HE HERE?'

Jennifer immediately called Alissa.

"Track Leo's phone. He said that he had bought a new one and the old one must have been hacked by the gang who recently attacked our secret panel. Also make sure to delete all the records from it."

"Sis Amy, the gang members are from Lucifer's territory, right? Why must he attack us. Did we provoke him?"

"Yes, they were Lucifer's men. I am not sure what resulted them into doing this. Maybe something must have happened when our people went to Italy." Jennifer decided to check on the Lefen unit after her trip.

"I will track on Leo's phone. You don't have to worry."

Just after she ended her call with Alissa, Ava opened the door.

"Are you ready miss perfect body? We should go down now." Ava cheerfully danced in circle and threw her towel on a nearby chair.

Their room was on the 8th floor and the meeting was going to be held on 4th floor's business lobby.

"Let's go."

Both of them took the elevator down. It stopped on 7th floor and as the door opened, a red dressed girl, with dark red lipstick, dark black mascara and a red eyeshadow entered the lift.

Her makeup was very thick, paired with her big earrings. She wore matching black heels, which made a click-clack sound whenever she walked.

Ava felt like puking her galls out. She felt disgusted and hence shifted far away from her, towards the corner of the elevator and pulled Jennifer with her.

"Is she going to a party? Why dress up like that? She looks very ugly and disgusting." Ava made a funny face.

"Why do you want to build your own company?" Jennifer changed the topic, not wanting to tire herself out by speaking about an unimportant person.

Even though Ava's comment was loud enough to be heard in the closed walls of the elevator. The girl shamelessly started to speak, pretending to not have heard her taunting.

"Hi Ava, how are you? Are you also going for the meeting?"

"Oh hi, Natalie."

"I am going to a mall at 7pm. Would you like to join me?"

Ava straight forwardly ignored her and turned to face Jennifer, leaving her completely embarrassed.

Natalie gnashed her teeth in anger, but she could not show her displeasure on her face. So she smiled, which was more ugly than her angry face.

'If not for Emmett, would I care to talk to this b*tch.' Natalie thought.

The door opened, a long red carpet was rolled on the floor. Exquisite paintings, statues and photos were used to adorned the lobby.

After getting out of the elevator Jennifer spoke,

"You shouldn't have taunted her Ava. She may try to make things difficult for you in the near future."

"You are too forgiving Alissa. Don't you know how she acted that day in the bar. She tried to humiliate you, how can I take that? You are my friend, so I will always help you."

Jennifer felt a wave of warmth through her words. She hardly had any friends. Most of them were boys, as girls were jealous of her. Even if she was to wear her makeup, they used to feel jealous of her intelligence.

So she hardly got along with them. Ava was a genuine friend of her. She never had mind her look, nor did she felt jealousy because of her outstanding results.

Jennifer gave her a loving and beautiful smile. Ava was tranced by her smile. She thought that she was hallucinating, hence she blinked. But the next moment, the smile on Jennifer's face was gone, as if it was never present.

The duo walked through the lobby, where they had to pass their student identification card for entry.

Just as they entered the main lobby where the business meeting was to be held, Jennifer spotted a familiar figure standing in a corner.

Her heart thumped wildly.

'Why was he here?'
