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.

'THE ELDER SON OF THE TESSIER FAMILY DIED IN AN ACCIDENT'

When she was contemplating on how to get out of this situation, she heard the hotel's telephone ring by her side.

Ava was the one who picked it up.

"Yes, we would be coming there. Yes... okay." Ava kept down the phone and came to sat beside Jennifer.

"Who called?"

"It was Professor Smith. He had asked us to gather on the terrace in half and hour. The had suddenly decided to keep the gathering early, as we need to head to Paris as early as possible. They don't want to waste time by staying here. Get ready we will go now." Ava nudged her and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Jennifer checked her phone.

There was no message from Alissa. Did it mean that there was nothing going on at the other party's side?

She had instructed few Black Panther association members to stay near the hotel. They would come in use if something goes wrong.

If she had made a request to cancel the party using excuses, that would have not been possible. And even if that happened it doesn't mean that the enemy would stay quite. They would start harming the innocent of their plan failed and she didn't want this.

So she decided to take down the enemy and spoil their plan then and there.

Jennifer once again called to confirm, if there was any movements on the other side.

"There seems nothing wrong here sis Amy. I am continuously watching through the cameras. Nothing has happened this far. You don't have to worry, I would let you know if there is any problem. And you said that they are planning to take action around the dinner time. It's three hours more for dinner time. Don't worry everything would be fine. I would also inform our other members, if I see any movements on their side."

"Okay then."

Ava came out of the bathroom and went straight towards the vanity table.

"Why aren't you getting ready? Even though the program is yet to start, you ought to be present there for the speech." Ava chided her from her seat while applying her makeup.

Jennifer sighed. She had to get ready, but now she would have to shower first.

"Ava can you please go ahead by yourself. I need to get ready and it will take time for me to get ready and by the time I would go there, it would be late. Why don't you go ahead first, I will come later on."

"No, no. I will wait for you. Go and get ready, quick." Ava wasn't taking no for an answer.

But Jennifer looked at her pleadingly. She had to get herself ready for the situation, they might face on the terrace. She had some weapons with her. But she couldn't take them out in front of her friend, can she?

Jennifer tried to convince her, "Ava you are required there. Your father would be coming, and your brother is also there. Don't worry about me, I would call you as soon as I get ready. Okay?"

Seeing her friend's pleading eyes, Ava gave up on the idea of waiting for her.

"You are right, I would need to be present there. At least one of us would have to be present."

Jennifer smiled at her.

"Get ready and come quickly. I also have to introduce you to my sister, her husband and her cute little daughters. You better not be late, understood?"

"Yes, mam. I would not be late."

After Ava left, Jennifer first packed up the items she needed for tonight and then went to take shower.

On the terrace,

Two waiters were whispering among themselves.

"Are you ready with the plan. There should not be any problem, or else you know that we would not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow. You know well how our master's temper is."

The other one whispered back, "Don't worry. The man would die today at any cost. Also he would die a horrible death. Tomorrow's headlines would be- 'THE ELDER SON OF TESSIER FAMILY DIED IN AN ACCIDENT.' Also to make sure it looks natural, we would need to make few people die."

Both the men were bust talking that they didn't notice, their target had disappeared from the terrace.

______

Jennifer was busy taking shower that she didn't notice the movements outside in the room.

Her phone was ringing non stop. She had five missed calls. Alissa was continuously calling her.

Jennifer looked at herself in the mirror. She was contemplating whether she should go in her real face or apply makeup.

She decided to apply makeup. If she was to go in her real face, she couldn't go to the terrace and she would have to cover herself.

It was better if she wore her usual makeup.

As everyone was up, Jennifer had kept her makeup outside. She first slowly opened the door to see if someone was in the room, but seeing that no one was outside, she stepped out.

'Click'

Jennifer was rooted on the ground in shock. She was bare faced, wrapped in a towel. Her hair was wet and tiny water droplets dripped down her hair.

Her face was flushed as she had just showered. Her moist eyes, made her look extremely sexy.

But she couldn't care less now, on how she looked.

Jennifer wide eyed stared at the man in front of her.

Her heart thumping widely beneath her rib cage.

So guys, how was the surprise?

I bet you wouldn't have expected this. But I told you earlier that there would be two beauties in the action scene.
