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.

IT WAS THE RAREST OF RARE

He speechlessly looked at the girl's jacket which had numerous weapons embedded in them.

'Was this silly girl carrying all those with her all this time?'

He carefully picked up the knife to check it and was shocked when he looked at it's design. The sharp pointed knife, had a wooden handle with a dragon carved on it.

It's tip was sharp and the rivet's were piercing, which could harm the person holding the knife if not handled skillfully.

It's tang had a firm grip and it's belly was thin. The blade was around 15cm and the cutting edge had it's own shine.

It was the rarest of rare. Only three such knives existed on the earth, one of which Emmett himself had at his home.

Second was with the Verville family. They were also considered a prestigious family, but had always liked to remain low-key. There wasn't much information about them. If they were to be considered, then there would be in total three most powerful and prestigious families in Paris, the Tessier's, the Gobeil's and the Verville's.

The third was with the Gobeil family, but it had disappeared around twenty years ago. So Emmett was totally shocked when he saw the knife with her.

The knife was given to the heir of the family and it had followed since long. The rule was broken when one of the family's knife went missing. No one knew where it went and despite searching for it, the end result was always the same.

Emmett remembered that Jennifer had once told him that her father was in the army. He wondered if it was her father who had found the knife or if he had some connections with the Gobeil family.

Looking back at her jacket which had numerous weapons, he decided to button it back as he didn't want her to know that he had seen her treasures.

He had to himself search for the reason of the knife going missing, which he hadn't done in the past as he thought it wasn't his work. But now his girlfriend had the knife which went missing since twenty years ago, he would have to find about what had happened in the Gobeil family twenty years ago. For now he would just act as though he knew nothing.

Carefully buttoning her up, he one last time adjusted her and put on the comforter.

Just when he was going to withdraw his hand back, a smooth and fair hand grabbed his big one. But she exerted some strength, as if wanting to pick him up and throw him somewhere.

Emmett frowned as he looked at the girl who was gripping his hand tightly. When he tried to remove her hand, she suddenly pushed him and spoke in a voice which was loud enough for him to hear, "Why are you touching me? Hmph, go and enjoy with your boys. Weren't you enjoying a lot with them?" Jennifer had a cute pout on her face as she spoke in her dream.

But her cuteness didn't work on Emmett this time. His face now looked as though he was controlling something. He just stared hardly at the girl one last time and walked out of the room.

After taking a shower in the other room, he made his way back to the room where the girl sleeping. His mood had considerably improved after taking a bath.

Going around the bed he laid on the other side of the bed which was empty.
