Kara came out of her room as she heard strong, cheery voices from outside. After eating the food she had gone to her room to sleep peacefully the whole night. The morning sun shined brightly through the curtains when she got out of the bed and came to the balcony to look outside.
Her eyes instantly fell upon James and Damon who were playing basketball for different teams in the courtyard outside. There were some of their friends who were clapping and whistling in encouragement while playing alongside them.
Damon's eyes met hers and he instantly smiled and waved at her to come down. She smiled at him, seeing the friendly match that was going on between both brothers. But then the smile was instantly wiped off her face as the ball suddenly hit Damon on the back of his head when James tried to snatch the ball. The force was strong and due to lack of attention towards the game, Damon immediately fell face first on the ground.
"Damon!" Kara shouted in panic and immed
Kara was worried about James and Damon when she walked out of the washroom in a bathrobe right after a bath. As soon as she was out, a hand was on her arm, pulling her towards a solid chest. Her eyes shot up to face the person in surprise and found James looking down at her with his eyes admiring her beauty."You...?"James smirked and bent down closer to her face, "where else am I going to go?"She twisted her arm to get free of his hold but instead, he pulled her even closer. James' face descended down to her earlobe as he whispered, "how far are you going to run from me in this small room? You are going to find me right next to you each time you try to run in other directions that don't lead you to me, Kara."Kara closed her eyes as she felt his aftershave entering her senses like a long forgotten drug. The aroma coming from him suddenly made her weak. His hot breath fanned on her neck, making her shiver right before his hand slipped around her w
"Nothing." James put his lips on her cheek to leave a kiss and murmured, "Just open the door. I am going out."Kara's eyebrows scrunched up in confusion at his words, "How?""The same way that I came here." he pulled back and grinned at her, "from the balcony."Kara's eyes widened in surprise. He came close to her face with a small smile on his face and continued, "I am not going to tolerate any bad mouthing against my Kara, after all."Kara looked in his eyes and saw the sincere love they held for her. Unable to meet his gaze, she turned her face away to the side. James came closer and kissed her cheek lightly, making her close her eyes at the softness of his lips."Open the door." he whispered, "I am going out."Kara nodded her head and went to unlock the door. By the time the door opened, James had already left through the balcony.****Dressed up in a yellow, knee length dress, Kara walked down the stairs and saw Damon sitt
Kara opened her eyes in a snap, her gaze meeting his with confusion."A day till your engagement. And then what...? A wedding?" he tilted his head to the side in a sarcastic way.Kara turned her head away, her stomach feeling like something heavy had been dropped there that was making her heart feel heavy. Her gesture made James even closer to her as he brought his face to her neck and whisper near her ear, "don't worry. You are going to be mine only."Panicked, Kara tried to free her wrist, "Ja
Kara came out of the party exhausted to her bones. She was tired after keeping her lips in a smile the whole time they met their old friends and classmates. She was not happy, because most of them were just there to inquire in how much wealth Kara was going to be after marrying Damon and if their relationship was a business deal. She heard murmurs and she heard gossips, all she wanted to do was return to her room and as the clock struck one am, she gave the invitation card with Damon to the host and walked out of the party, letting Damon know that she wanted to go home.She walked outside and deeply inhaled the fresh air. After a few minutes, James drove out of the parking in the SUV but Kara did not get in. Feeling him near herself was already too hard to bear, and currently, she was not in the state of being anywhere near close to him.A few minutes later Damon came out running towards them, "Sorry, took a bit long." he smiled at Kara while handing over the purse to
"James you are crossing the lines of...""Uncle, please calm down." Kara interrupted them as she came between them to stop the fight that was about to get heavier, "James is right, Uncle. Please, I need to know what is happening right now. How the hell are you guys getting attacked by gunshots because of me? I... I don't think I have ever done anything that would...""It is not your fault." James stopped her as his voice turned gentle.Neil was not convinced and still agitated at James for speaking out. But now as the words were out, they could not be taken back and he did not have any other option left.James came close to Kara and started, "Your parents had not made their will when they had died. Although I had managed to transfer t
"That is not true, Kara." James said softly, and then before he could say anything, the line disconnected and the call ended. Worried, he instantly called back but the phone had turned switched off.Kara clicked on the screen of her phone repeatedly but it didn't turn back on. Growling in frustration she gulped down the last glass of tequila in front of her and stood up and then instantly stumbled. A guy standing on the bar right beside her tried to grab her but before he could touch her, some else slipped his arms in her waist, holding her possessively close to him.James pressed Kara against his body and exited the bar without uttering a word. The only thing he was caring about was Kara who was tripping on each step. He was tempted to lift her up in his arms but couldn't as there were too many people around them. So he quietly led her
Kara kept staring at him. Her hand slipped out and the tips of her fingers touched his chin, and then his lower lip. James closed his eyes at the feeling of her touch while she continued to slip her fingers on his lips like tracing a path. He kissed her finger softly. She slipped her fingers from his hard jaw and then to his cheek."James." she whispered softly.James opened his eyes when he felt her moist face snuggling in his neck, she was sobbing silently and he kept on holding her close to himself before bending down to kiss the top of her head,"Everything will be fine. I will make everything alright. I promise.""You will not leave me, right?" she murmured."Not even if you beg me to."Kara pulled her face back and looked up at him and shook her head softly and said in a slurred tone,"I am dreaming. When the morning comes, the dream will be over."James felt helpless in front of her. When her sobbing subsided, she whispered,"Mama put my hand in Dam
This was the worst hangover anyone could have ever gotten in their lifetime- was the first thought that entered Kara's mind as soon as she opened her eyes. Her mind was completely blank, and hurting when she peeped open one eye to look around the room until her eyes fell on the clock on the side table showing one pm. It was not like this was the first time she had drunk herself to unconsciousness. Back in the college she used to get drunk until she was no longer aware of what was around her whenever Damon came to visit her. He would take her out of the house that she stayed holed up in and let her do whatever she wanted for the whole night. But even then her hangovers were never this painful. Maybe her head was throbbing too much this time because she had cried her eyes out last night. Getting up from the bed she grabbed the phone off
