LEERA POV
He broke the hug while his eyes fixed on me and then he came towards us and Carla followed him after
"What's up man!" Louis hugged him. "Great. You?" Aze hugged back
"Good. This is Leer-" Louis was about to introduce me to him as he thought Azezal didn't know me but Azezal interrupted.
"Leera.. We met before" Azezal stated straightly staring at me and Carla looked at us with a hint of suspicion
''WOOH how do you guys know each other? Didnt expect so'' Louis uttered raising his eyebrow. Of course how would he even have any hint about my past with Azezal
'W-We met upstairs when I went to washroom'' I affirmed hesitantly before he could utter anything stupid further. I just didn't want anyone to know that and it's his engagement and I'm not here to spoil things. Nobody can tell how freaking anxious I'm right now but I know exactly how I'm feeling. I just want to run away from here
"Ooh that's great" Louis continued "Finally the mains are here. Let's start the main party"
Then all the guests and everyone surrounded Azezal and Carla while I remained on my place silently taking everything in. Suddenly I felt someone nudging me, I smiled at Aaron. He held my hand and I let him. I still can't believe this lil cute guy is Azezal's nephew and Elina is his sister. Literally they are no where near to him! Although when me and Azezal were something I didn't knew much about his family nor ever saw any of his family members
"Looks like Aaron likes you too much. He's not even leaving your side" Elina said with a sweet smile, standing by my side. "Seems so. Your son is literally too cute" I smiled back at her. She utterly gives off an angel vibe and her brother woohh the big bad guy with a gun. Unbelievable
Then I heard everyone cheer loud as Azezal was about to put a ring on Carla's hand now. Somehow it's hurting me... I know it's hurting me... but why? I stared at the guy, that one guy who I ever loved in my whole life and l know very well now loving him is the worst decision ever. Aaron was still by my side clutching my hand tightly, If he wasn't holding my hand maybe I would have left getting a chance. Honestly I have no urge in me to witness anything here or even be a part of his engagement party
Instantly his eyes reached to me and I frozed. His grey eyes, those were the eyes once I seek comfort and those terrifies me now. He's holding the ring just before putting it on her hand but his eyes fixed on me while everyone kept cheering aloud. Then his eyes drifted to the ring in his hand, he slowing bought that ring near her hand and finally made her wear the ring. Everyone clapped and seemed enlightened but it was me who's feeling something that I should never feel and I would never allow myself to feel
Everyone cheered for them to kiss now. He eyed me again maybe to see my expression but I kept my face blank. I don't know why I couldn't stand here anymore.
"I-I need to... drink some water, can you leave my hand" I whispered to Aaron forcing a smile on my face. "I can bring you some" He said and instantly left to fetch me some water before I could say something else. Louis and Elina is busy in the ceremony, maybe after they are over with this I'll greet them goodbye and leave from here. It won't look good if I get out of here without telling anyone and disappear in the air all of a sudden. Maybe I'll wait a bit more after they get apart from the other guests.
Every other were busy with the ring ceremony and I had no interest. Like why am I even here, I would have never ever came here if I even had a hint of who's engagement it actually is
After a while which was actually some seconds, I could see Azezal leaning to kiss her and I felt something again. Maybe I shouldn't be standing here
I made my way away from everybody. They all were surrounding and cheering the groom and bride to be. Just beside the hall there is a balcony... actually a long, big and nice one. I stood near the balcony glass fence and looked around. It gives a very good view of the back yard of this mansion.
I let out a deep breath and looked above. The night moon... it was full moon. Bright, shiny and luminous as always. My lips turned into a faint smile. This is where life bought me? Him and all these again? Why is fate playing with me? Why is he back in my life? Why do I have to face all these?
I'm not supposed to feel like this at the first place! 'OH MY GOSH Leera what the hell is wrong with you- Why would you even feel this way for the guy who is responsible for your this condition? He is literally a damn psychopath, a bloody murderer. Did you forget what he did to you few days ago? And all his lies and betrayal when you loved him the most of all?' My inner self questioned and I let out a sigh
Somehow a lone tear managed to escape of eye when I regained the memory in my head when he took the very first step in our relation. He wasn't the most romantic type, better a simple, straightforward guy type. Maybe it hurts now but those memories live alive in my head even now. How it all started.......
***Flashback***
It was a tiring day, as soon as I was done with my part time work at the coffee shop I dashed to my way back home.
Suddenly a black expensive car stopped by my side and the passenger sit glass opened revealing him. Azezal.... I knew him. The regular customer at the coffee shop but now we were more like friends or something near to friends perhaps after reconciling. I knew very well he is a well known guy, he seemed decent and gentle as well as he has always been very good and friendly to me. The charming, ravishing hot multibillionaire everyone dreamed of
"Hi.. Mind getting on the car" He uttered blankly. I was surprised... like what does he mean?
"Huh?" that's all left my mouth
Without saying anything further he came out of the car. He looked handsome in his black shirt and pant like he always did. His hair looked well set and I could feel and smell his expensive cologne by where I was standing
"Leera, actually I want to have some words with you. If you have some time I would like you to come with me" He said with a straight face shoving his hands in his pockets. What kinda words and why at this time?
"I think... you know it's a little late. Maybe we could talk tomorrow or later moreover I'm really sorry I can't go with you anywhere now. I hope you understand as I just- " He stopped me in the middle of a sentence "Shushh... I understand. Go home" He gave me cold smile and with that he got into his car again. Didn't say anything more nor did bid me goodbye. He drove his car and I watched his car leave
Quite a weird person. Why would he even want to take me somewhere? We aren't even that close.
Next day after college he was waiting for me at the college gate. Like damn bro what's wrong with this person? I was actually feeling really awkward. Why would a billionaire, charming prince like him would wait for me? That didn't felt right
"Look Leera, your friend is waiting for you or should I say..." Aria smirked and then I noticed him actually
"Aria, stop with that shit! Maybe he actually is here for some work" saying that I glanced at him. Absolutely handsome like always, dressed in formal.. wearing sunglass.. leaning against his car while he kept talking to someone over phone
"Let's just goo... " We were about to pass past him but I guess he noticed me as he called my name from behind "Leera" I let out a sigh and turned back meanwhile he hanged up his call
I stood straight and uttered a small "Hi" with a smile, waiting for him to complete whatever he wanted to say and Aria kept grinning nudging me. Aff she would literally get me into trouble.
"I want you to come with me. I would like to have a word with you" He uttered, well cold and straight. "Is that important? I mean you can just say whatever you want here, right now" I stated. Legit it felt so strange to go with a person I barely know... we knew eachother but not that much. There shouldn't be any reason for it though
"I want to talk in private" He affirmed and I pressed my lips together not knowing what to say.....
"Hmm... then I'll go and give you guys some time. Well see you later Leera" Aria smirked and rushed away. Ahh holy crap what will I do alone with him now? This guy is acting so strange lately... following me home and then in my college. Levi isn't here too as he left early.
"Let's just get a place to talk" He said and walked to his car. I didn't know what to do? I just followed behind him. Should I go with him? Well what can he do more though. Well he's always been nice to me maybe I should behave. Then he made me sit and started driving.
"Where are we going" I asked quietly
"You'll know" that's all our conversation in the car
After a while the car stopped and we were just before a beautiful lavender garden.
"What are we doing here?" I slowly muttered
"Come with me, you'll know"
I followed him, he bought me in the middle of the garden. My favourite flowers lavender, I kept enhancing the beauty and looking around and then I realized he stopped and he's watching me. I gulped
"Hmm.... Now? Why are we here?" I murmured.
"You look beautiful in that white dress" He affirmed and I stiffened. Too straight forward
"A-Ahh Thanks" I said feeling a little weird
"Let's get to the point as I don't like wasting time. We are here because I thought you would like this place and we can talk"
"Talk about what?" I asked not exactly knowing the anything like we weren't even that close that we have some important stuffs to talk about. And of course it was weird too that a well known big guy like him is actually here with me, giving me so much of his precious time. What did all it mean? Well I won't even deny the fact he was so fucking attractive and I was attracted to him too but that doesn't clarify I would feel safe around him
"I want to know you more" He stated icily causing a jolt rush down my body. Know me more? What does he mean
"H-Huh like?" I didn't know what to say more. I'm probably hearing the most uncertain and unexpected things.
"Let's know eachother more" He smiled this time as he uttered those words which meant so fucking much to me after that incident. Maybe that time I didn't realize much but later it was like the most memorable part of my life cause it was where it all started.
*****
I felt someone by my side and the exact moment before seeing who it is I managed to wipe those unwanted few drops of tears that just got out of my eyes. Then I faced to see who was it
He leaned on the glass fence just beside me with a glass of champagne, looking up at the sky. Why's he here? Isn't it his engagement party? I didn't say anything, I remained silent gazing outside
"Humans are so preternatural. They don't value things when they have them but after losing, they crave for those" - Suddenly he spoke up still looking up the sky, rolling the glass of champagne in his hand. I stayed quiet. Should I leave, maybe I should. But I insisted on staying here
"Does the pain implies too much that bought you here to stand alone and made you speechless that you can't utter a word" He said and turned to me this time. I was watching him cornering my eyes but refused to turn to face him
"Why would I be hurt or be in pain?" I affirmed with a bit of confidence that just grew in me
"Then tell me your not" He uttered with icily with a grin and this time I faced him with everything I have in me.
"That shouldn't bother you I guess" I'm not that lost puppet who will lose in every conversation they have. I would talk to him just the was he does. Confronting him like a fearful child won't help only will raise his self assuredness.
I was just about to walk past him before listening him say anything more or giving me a reply
I stopped when he got my hand. His cold hands touching my hand. I turned back, his expression cold but somehow he managed to act calm like always
"Why does it hurt you to see me getting engaged to any other one?" He muttered coldly making me stilled. I didn't utter a word further only watched him. The cold breeze passed by us, touching my bare skin and his intense glance on me as it kept seizing me still on my place
"You bought that to yourself. And yes it does bother me when it comes to pain and hurt which relates you cause that's what provides me enough peace. What's actually getting hurt is something you will get to see in further life and that's what fate decided for you. You haven't seen the worst yet" - He murmured and left my hand with a small jerk, the same time walking past me. I felt a strike jerk my inner soul making my mind shiver. Is this what you call pain? What were those tears for? His words... what did it meant? Words to make me suffer? Any other thing didn't hurt me as much as his words did. Peace in my agony? I hated how his words bothered me everytime!.........
