Emma woke up early in the morning. The last three days went smoothly without any big problems or scenes. Xander was distant and busy with lord knows what, he barely spent a minute or two at home. They would go to the academy together and would come back together. She would walk a little away from the academy and then he would pick her up. He was kind enough to get her notes from other teachers as well. Now she has all the things to prepare for exams, thanks to him. Emma checked his room and he wasn't there which meant he never returned last night. A part of her wondered where he had spent the last night but she was not at that level to inquire of him. Deep in her thoughts, she was humming a tune of her own while swaying her hips. She was wearing a large oversized shirt with no shorts or pants, just her panties, she was comfortable in it and the only reason she wore it was because he wasn't at home. Her hair was tied up in a messy bun as a few rogue strands caressed the skin of he

She still didn't reply, feeling his heated gaze on her face. Emma pretended not to hear him as she continued to eat her food. Xander quietly stood up, grabbed the bowl of salad, sat down in his chair, and started filling his plate whereas Emma stared at her plate shocked. He just didn't do that! With a clenched jaw as she ate her food hurriedly. Once done she deliberately excused herself to get his attention but got none as Xander continued to devour his food while easily ignoring her existence. It seemed her plan was doubled over on herself only. With a huff, she went into the lounge, grabbed her books, and retired to her room. The next day went by quietly as she drowned herself in her studies cause tomorrow was her exam. On the day of the exam, she was all ready and prepared to succeed. Luckily the exam wasn't tough and she completed it on time. Back home she was all alone because he was always out to Lord knows where. She started following her daily routine which included r

Xander was rendered speechless by her innocent confession. His heart forgot the literal meaning of beating for a second and his throat got clogged up for the very first time in his life. She loves him. 'You succeeded.' Blade said angrily because in some twisted way his heart knows he manipulated her but then again he hasn't manipulated her all the time. The things that happen between them just happen naturally. It's pure natural with no hidden motives behind but the man was unable to understand his own emotions. "I k...know it's shocking for y..you. But your care is all I want... Y.. you protected me when I h... had no one... Y... you did so much for me... you saved me." She blabbered in a soft voice making it difficult for him to breathe. "It's okay if y...you don't f...feel the same way b...but I will still feel for you 'cause it's not in my control." She mumbled softly with a beautiful smile grazing her lips. Her blue eyes twinkled with happiness. "I will protect you." He breat

His green forest eyes widened into the size of plates. As he stiffened in his place. His eyes ever so slowly gazed at her from head to toe making goosebumps appear all over her flesh. She visibly noticed how his Adam apple bobbed up and down as he gulped. Xander loosened his tie around his neck as she saw how his tattooed neck looked tense. Emma was facing him with scrunched shoulders looking tense but Xander's eyes were set on her naked back that he could see through the mirror and she was unaware that he could see her back from the mirror and the sight in front of him was exotic, to say the least. Xander took a step towards her followed by another step as she gulped feeling conscious and so very scared for the Lord knows what reason. Maybe she was scared that he would find her fat and leave right now in disgust but nothing prepared her for what he said next. "You look so fucking hot!" The purr in his deep voice had her gulping as she continuously stared at his polished black shoe

Emma was all cheery and happy for the last two days. That date was the first and the best date of her life. Emma was on cloud nine. Her happiness knew no bounds but at the same time, she was so very afraid of life. Life always took away the best things from her and no way did she want to lose this man who has become the most important part of her life. Not being able to sleep she decided to roam in the backyard as it was good rainy weather outside. Xander was probably dead asleep by now. Emma left and it was so amazing in the garden at this time. After casually strolling there for an hour or two she came back inside. She was closing the main door when she saw a silhouette of a guy near the trees in front. She would've taken it casually but her heart jolted in her ribcage when she witnessed a red eye shining from afar and gazing directly at her. It was as if the floor beneath her feet was snatched away, leaving her falling into the demise of her traumatic past. From the bottom of
