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.

"HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY LIPS!!"

What??

Jennifer just blankly stared at him.

She didn't know whether to cry or laugh at his request. They were trapped in the elevator and he wanted her to smile in such situation. Should she call him a positive thinker?

Seeing that the girl was just staring at him with her mind deviated, he closed the gap between them.

"Smile." He thought that she may have not heard him so he repeated.

When Jennifer heard him repeating himself, she came out of her daze.

"Why?" Jennifer asked looking straight into his eyes.

She felt a slight pain in her head when she gazed into them. Something blurry image came into her mind, but disappeared in a split second, as if it never came and was just her hallucination.

"I want you to smile, is it that hard." Emmett amusedly looked at her and his mouth slightly curved upwards. He was hiding his grin, which threatened to form on his thin pink lips.

Jennifer was adamant, why would she do whatever he said. So she pressed her lip plates tightly against each other.

Seeing that the girl had no intentions of smiling, Emmett slightly touched her lips with his hand and curved them upwards.

An artificial smile came to form on her lips, which looked very horrible, considering the makeup she wore.

"See, it isn't that hard." Emmett was enjoying himself.

But Jennifer like a tigress was suppressing her claws which were aching to scratch him on his face.

She was so angry that she wanted to beat him then and there.

Emmett hands were still on her lips. When he sensed that the girl wanted to take action, he removed them and captured her in a kabedon.

Their heights perfectly matched. He was 1.93m whereas she was 1.78m high. He was a head taller than her.

Usually this height difference was perfect for a passionate kiss!!

"How dare you touch my lips!!" Jennifer was radiating flames of rage, which could burn a person alive.

He was the only person in front of whom she would loose her control of emotions and show her anger.

But the next sentence from him left her dumbfounded.

"Did you forget that we had kissed before, or do you want me to touch your lips with my lips and not with my hands." Emmett bent down to whisper in her ears.

Jennifer had turned red at that instance when Emmett whispered into her ears.

She didn't know if it was because she was embarrassed or because her anger had multiplied.

His husky voice, had a trace of sexiness in it. It was the voice which could have impregnated someone's ears.

But Jennifer was speechless. She couldn't find words to attack him.

Just when she was trying hard to dispel the current situation, the elevator suddenly jerked and started to move down.

But it happened so suddenly that she stumbled and fell straight into a muscular chest. Emmett instantly locked her with his hands.

He wouldn't get this much free chances. So he should use them now, right?

When she returned to her senses and tried to pry free from him, the man only tightened his arms, locking her firmly in his embrace.

"Don't be afraid, en."

Was she afraid?

No she wasn't. In fact she wanted to go away from him as fast as possible, but the man was acting on his own.

Emmett was deliberately holding her in his arms. He knew that the wild untamed tigress wanted nothing but to escape from him. But he couldn't let her go. He had done a mistake in his past but he would not do it again.

Thus he only tightened his arms.

The elevator doors opened.

"Broth stop it. I am already tired. The elevator was not working and I had to come down using stairs in these heels. I...."

Natalie suddenly stopped speaking. Broth followed the direction in which she was looking and was so shocked that he nearly stumbled on the floor. The files in his hands dropped on the floor and he stared wide eyed towards the scene in the elevator.

Hehe.... giving you some more cheeky scenes.
