"I'm not okay!" I yelled at him. "Okay?! I'm not okay." My chest rose up and down as I breathed heavily. It had been years since I had a break down, and I wasn't going to have one right now.
"It's okay not to be okay," he whispered, walking closer to me. He caressed my cheek, trying to sooth me. 
I stared at him, pain filled my eyes. I was trying hard not to cry. I couldn't cry. That's not what I did. 
"It's okay to cry," he comforted. His eyes stared so hard into mine I felt like he was seeing into my soul.
"Crying shows weakness, and I'm not weak," I told him, swallowing hard.
"Sometimes crying is the strongest thing you can do. It just shows everyone else that you're just as human as they are."
And right then and there I started sobbing. I had lost all control of my emotions, I cried like I hadn't since I was little. All those times I didn't cry when I wanted to poured out now. The walls I spent so long building to make them unbreakable, broke.

I didn't wanted any weakness in my life but the day I saw her I gave up i can't help myself to make her mine __________________________________ His eyes turned red, and he said, "I have only loved you in my whole life, and until my last breath, I will only love you. No one can ever take your place. I don't know who told you this, but all this is a lie". She shouted and said, "This is not lie Mr Singhania". He warningly," stop calling me that". She angrily, "no one has told me this, I have heard it myself with my own ears and seen it with my own eyes Mr Singhania". He grabbed her arms and pulled her close, saying, "I said stop calling me that". She said angrily looking into his eyes, "Does it feel bad? I felt the same way when I found out the truth. Kabir was talking on the phone, looking at a girl's photo, saying that she is going to be your bride. I trusted you, so I thought it was a misunderstanding. That's why I came to your office to talk to you. Instead of clearing up the misunderstanding, the truth became apparent to me. I saw you with the same girl Kabir was talking about". Vansh confusingly," Kabir?". She nodded and said," yes kabir". He said, "listen, just believe me...it's just a misunderstanding I don't know who she is and I am not getting married, neither to her nor to anyone else". She said," you listen to me...If you want to get married, go ahead. I won't stop you. I don't want to be a thorn in your life. You can marry whomever you want, I won't interfere." His grip tightened on her arm and pulled her closer and said, "I'm not marrying anyone, and if I do, it will be only when I want and You will be my bride, and only you."

"I can really take care of myself, but thanks for stepping in and all that." I said in a meek voice as I looked up to see his bare chest was wet and glistening from the water that covered his body and dripped down to the top of his jeans that hung mouthwateringly low on his hips. I wanted nothing more than to reach out and touch his chest, to feel the firmness under my fingers. His intense green eyes pierced through mine as he took a step toward me, causing my back to press up against the wall behind me. He ran his tongue over his bottom lip and grabbed the back of my neck, wrapping his fingers in my freshly washed hair. A gasp escaped through my parted lips as he yanked me forward and grabbed my hips. "Do you want me?" He questioned breathless.

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

Manic Crush by hea4all

Every girl has 'that' crush. You know what I'm talking about. The one boy who's the first thought on your mind when you wake up, and the last thought before you go to sleep. The one you carefully select your clothes for, don your best makeup, and style your hair perfectly for. I had 'that' crush. Brock was hot; he was sexy and alpha, with dark smoldering eyes and tattoos that littered his rock-hard body. My poor seventeen-year-old heart had no clue how to handle it, because my badass crush wasn't a boy. He was a man; a nightclub owning married man, who also happened to be my best friend's stepdad. I wasn't the only one who was crushing on Emma's stepdad. He knew it too, but the best part about Brock was that he looked like a badass, he acted like a badass, but he treated every single teenage girl in his home with the utmost respect. He had plenty of admirers, but Emma hated anyone who flaunted their shit in front of him. He'd taken her dad's place. He'd moved in not two months after she'd lost him and had tried to 'parent' her. We hated him together; but secretly I adored him. I spent almost three years in a hoodie, scowling at the hottest man in L.A. The day he left Emma's mom was the happiest and saddest day of my life. If you're going to lose your crush, though, ripping it off like a band-aid is the best way to do it. One day he was there and the next he was gone. And now, seven years later, I'm about to walk into his nightclub and audition for him. He's not the man I remember. He's sexier, more intense, and has connections that are not exactly as wholesome as I assumed. But that only makes me want him more....
