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.

"YOU HAVE A POINT"

Jennifer was fuming, but she tried to control her anger. She can't just murder someone can she?

"Why don't you want to share your ideas with me Mister?" Jennifer calmed herself and then questioned in a slightly loud voice.

"Don't you have brain?" Emmett raised his brow. He just noticed that he liked teasing her.

Jennifer smiled, which looked so ugly that could make a child cry just by looking at it. But we couldn't blame it on Jennifer, can we? She was fuming mad at this man. Was he having a death wish?

"If there's nothing to talk between us, then I would be going, bye." Jennifer got up from her chair and made her way towards the room door.

"Wait." Suddenly the man called out.

"Who said we don't have anything to talk about?" The man continued.

Jennifer's hand which rested on the door's handle paused for a bit, she was contemplating whether she should go out or face the devil.

She easily got triggered by him, which was considered a bad sign.

After percolating for few seconds, she took a deep breathe to stable her emotions and turned back.

"Oh, we have something to talk about. Would you entertain me about it Emmett." Jennifer spoke calmly this time.

Emmett was slightly surprised. Never had anyone called his name this casually. His parents as well as his family, even though called him by his name, but it was either humbly or with an ounce of fear.

He though liked it. He would like her calling him like that again.

It was a different feeling. His lips turned upwards for a brief moment, which escaped from Jennifer's hawk like eyes.

He continued to stare at the girl as she approached him, turning in front of him to go back and sit down on her chair.

"Have you ever handled these kind of things?" Emmett questioned her.

"What kind of things you mean Emmett?" She was playing with his words, the same what he was doing a little earlier.

Emmett didn't get offended, he kind of liked her attitude.

"The financial ones."

"No, this is my first time. You know what we usually take courses as we are not knowledgeable about them. Your case is special though." Jennifer chided in a sarcastic tone.

Emmett did not feel bad even though she just in a way insulted him. He was amused by her answer.

People were always careful around him. They feared in meeting his gaze and trembled when hear his name. He was used to it. But when someone does something different, they are always praised.

And Emmett had his praise for Jennifer. She was different from all the others.

She reminded him of the girl two years back. She was also a carefree girl and did not held back herself when she talked with him.

When he first met Jennifer-in her ugly look. He was attracted to her eyes, they were very familiar. He was more suspicious when he heard her voice.

Even though the girl from past had hoarse voice back then, due to the situation that time, he could clearly find some similarites in their voices.

"You have a point." Emmett folded his hands casually near his chest. It gave a clear view of his skin, which was exposed due to him unbuttoning his first three buttons of his shirt.

Jennifer shifted her gaze from him, coughing slightly. Even though she did not want to accept the fact that he was devilishly handsome, she could not just remove her eyes from him that moment when he folded his hands.

It was not like that when they were in Matthew's office few minutes ago. He had only one of his shirts button open. When did it become three?

Jennifer was thinking about it, not noticing that she was constantly eyeing the man's exposed skin.

She did not know the fact that she was aware of the every small details of Emmett. She unknowingly looked at those details, which she shouldn't have as per their relationship status, which was hard to say-was it even a friendship?

A brief note on the event two years back- Emmett did not love the girl from two years back. She had accompanied him during his tough time. He admired her and she was his first female friend (which he himself had admitted to her once.)
