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.

HIS SEXY COLLARBONES WERE HIGHLIGHTED.....

A man near the door took pity on him and answered, "Boss has already taken care of the Guerilla gang matter. He doesn't have to tell you anything you know." Saying that he walked away quickly.

Ron muttered under his breathe, 'I am that useless now? Poor me.'

Drood and Brood were twins and the most powerful men amongst the Lucifer's people. They practically were Lucifer's bodyguards.

Brood was a cheerful man and liked to talk and tease people, whereas Drood was completely opposite to him. He never said a word, unless necessary. He would only converse with Lucifer and not anyone else. Even he talked very less with his twin brother.

Both the brothers were orphan, whom Lucifer had found in a warehouse. They were like his brothers, who accompanied him throughout his journey from childhood to adulthood.

Lucifer found them heavily injured. He tended to their wounds and brought them back with him to his house. He was 12 years old at that time. Thus they were together for 15 years.

Drood and Brood were the names given to them by Derek. He found both of them amazing, hence decided to name them the same.

The names had the particular reasons. As one of them usually worried about Derek due to his nature, hence he named him Brood. While the other one was silent and never bothered himself with Derek, hence he named him Drood.

Ava had called Jennifer and told her that they were leaving for the company.

Jennifer arrived at the entrance with her laptop and some files.

All of them walked to the company.

Ava handed Jennifer a bag.

"I know you will be hungry. I had the hotel pack lunch for you. Have it when you are hungry."

Warmth flooded in Jennifer's heart. She really liked her new friend.

"Thanks Ava." Jennifer gave her a sincere smile.

"You should smile a lot Alissa. It suits you." Ava responded truly.

Even though Jennifer's makeup was hideous, her face looked a lot more nice when she smiled. It is said that if a person is beautiful then his or her beauty shines even in his ugly form.

"Where is your brother?" Jennifer asked Ava while entering the elevator.

"He has already been here for half an hour. He may be waiting for you on the 40th floor." Ava chuckled and winked at Jennifer before hurriedly getting off at third floor.

Jennifer laughed at her gesture.

On the 40th floor,

Jennifer hurried in the room, given by Matthew.

Jennifer opened the door and what greeted her was a scene of a man sitting on a chair looking through some files.

The light from window illuminated half of his face. His sexy collarbones were highlighted and his posture made him look like an Angel dropped from the heaven.

It was true to say that Emmett was a very handsome and sexy man.

Jennifer gulped subconsciously, she did not want her previous self taking control over her.

Jennifer cleared all the those thoughts from her mind and made her way towards a chair, sitting opposite of him.

She knew that the man will not speak, unless she will start a conversation. Hence she first spoke, "I have an idea with me. I have jotted down the important points. Let me know if there is something missing. Here, it is in this file." Jennifer showed him the file and surprisingly the man did not reject and even took the file from her hands.

Jennifer was perplexed. Didn't this man had the habit of taunting her whenever she spoke.

She did not know that he would be this serious during work.

But it was true to say that he looked damn handsome, when he kept his mouth shut. At least it was like this for Jennifer.

She was the first woman with whom Emmett had spoken more than three sentences. Even if it was his mom, he would always answer in a sentence. This of course implied except for work.

And in the morning, Emmett was just bend on teasing her.
