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.

DRIVING A WEDGE

But when she was gloating about her future victory, she saw Emmett coming in the dining room.

She was elated at first, but soon her face fell, when he sat down next to Jennifer.

She was so furious that she greeted her teeth in anger and cursed Jennifer.

Ava was eyeing Natalie since they came in. After she heard her curse Jennifer, her blood boiled.

She knew that Natalie wanted her brother Emmett and she had once tried getting close to her, but she would never let her harm her friend because of her fantasies.

Ava smiled wickedly, she deliberately started complaining about Natalie when Emmett came and sat down beside Jennifer.

"Isn't Natalie being very rude, Alissa? She is clearly trying to bully you. She is also cursing you now and look how she is giving you a murderous look." Ava pointed in Natalie's direction.

Jennifer was puzzled, when was Natalie being rude with her? She questioningly looked at Ava, who just shrugged and continued eating, without answering, but she gave a victorious smile when no one was looking.

Seeing that his girlfriend was distracted from breakfast and looking angrily at Jennifer, Broth gave her a kiss on her cheek, while she was busy looking in Emmett's direction.

But who knew that Emmett would look towards her, as Ava had complained and pointed at Natalie's table, claiming that she was the one who was trying to bully Jennifer.

Natalie was surprised, but when she looked clearly at Emmett, she felt a chill down her back. Emmett was looking at her with hostility? Or was it displeasure?

Emmett was of course angry.

How dare she tried to bully his soon to be girlfriend?

Even though Emmett didn't love Jennifer, but he was somewhat interested in her. And it was his first time to be interested in a girl.

He had decided to make Jennifer his girlfriend, the day they had accidentally kissed each other.

Firstly, he was interested in her and secondly this would stop his parents from nagging him to get himself a girlfriend.

What Natalie thought by that look was that Emmett was unhappy, as Broth had kissed her. She suddenly felt as she was on cloud nine.

Did Emmett like her?

She harshly pushed Broth away and shouted at him, "How dare you kiss me?"

Broth innocently looked at her, "What happened baby? Why are you angry?"

Natalie looked towards Emmett's direction and saw that he was eating his food, without looking at her.

She was disappointed. Did she misunderstood?

Natalie angrily left her table and went out, followed by Broth.

Jennifer didn't mind her, and continued eating. But Ava was secretly giggling. She was enjoying the morning show.

After lunch they all went to the company. Emmett and Jennifer went to Matthew's office. The people from production team were waiting for them.

They sat down in the couch. One man showed them the design which he had designed himself.

Both of them looked at it, and instantly Jennifer's eyes narrowed. The outer design of the phone was same as her's but the interior was totally different.

But was it just a coincidence?

She didn't think so. The outer design was made of some special material, which the production team had not made the phone from. But everything looked same. It wasn't a mere coincidence.

Emmett also had the same thought. He had to find out who had done this.

He was sure that Black Panther herself would not do such a thing.

Was someone trying to drive a wedge between him and Black Panther?

His doubts were true. There was indeed someone who had been trying to make these two units fight.
