Hello again,

Here is the first chapter of this book.

Hope we will be in touch with each other till the last chapter.

Enjoy ♥️

Isn't life too hard?

It is, but not that much when you have people who love you truly around you.

Isn't it?

When my parents died I was just 5 year old, I still remember crying my eye out in front of my father's dead body. I thought he was sleeping, but that was what I thought.

I still remember how 15-Almost 16 years ago, papa (Alexander) came and hugged me. Picked me up, and I buried my face in his neck. He comforted me like a father should. He took me under his guardianship and I can't be more grateful of him for doing this.

Not only that, but he welcomed me in this house where I meet maa-Eva. She is the sweetest person alive, I also meet Few crazy kids who were elder than me but are fun to be with.

Amara, the fashion queen, but with a genuine smile and loving personality.

Isabella, Well My mentor and an another mother figure for me.

I miss her.

But she is married and living with her husband and another crazy kid.

I chuckled, remembering her son-Evan. He is the smartest kid I ever saw, but all his smartest is invested in doing something naughty and crazy.

Ace, my best friend. We have a 4 year gap, but It did nothing to harm our bond. He is opposite of me.

Self obsessed and best listener and a person who have the bunch of stories to tell.

All about him and his charm-ofcourse.

And now last but not least

Xavier

Amara's twins, but opposite of her. He is the most serious person in this house. Yes, more than papa, Alexander. He had an emotionless face but a confident personality which oozes Supreme power and dominant.

He gets angry easily but to my lucky star's, I am still to be a victim of his anger and I hope it remains same.

I and he never talk. Like never.

It's not like I don't want to. It's him who didn't like me...

As I think.

He never looks at me, he never talks to me, he never sat with me.

He hates me.

And truth to be told, I too avoid breathing the same air he does. His personality made me insecure and scared of him. His eyes made me shiver and dizzy. His massive appearance is so masculine and raw that makes me gulp.

Well, he is a..........different story.

Signing off my thought, I closed the book I was reading right now. The writer was my favorite one.

Eva knight.

That women who is not my biological mother but nothing less than an Angel. A woman who is my inspiration.

Maa.

I smiled thinking about, but my journey to my thinking world was cut short when my cell ringed. The name displayed was Amara.

"Hey"

She chipped.

This girl is an energy bomb. Always jumping up and down with unlimited energy. A smile always on her lips and those dimples adoring her smile her a lot.

Dimples.

Xavier

"Hey"

I answered. Sitting up straight, I fixed my cloths.

"Hope you are free, Can you come to Moonstone?"

"Yeah, I am free. But why there?"

"Just come, girl, you will know. Ok, bye, I am waiting for you."

And the line was dead. I shoot my head again and got myself up. Now when she already asked me to come soon, I know I can't delay.

Getting ready was a hard task for me. I don't like being picture ready all the time. I actually love looking homeless, but I can't when I have a girl like Amara in the house. Getting up I went through my wardrobe to find a comfortable dress for today.

Once I was ready, I went down to see Maa doing her work, which was cooking for all of us.

She is the best cook in the world.

"Maa I am going to Moonstone, Amara is there"

I informed. I have a habit to inform her about my doing. Actually, all of us.

Amara-Ace-Isabella-Me.

All.

Xavier?

I don't know.

"Oh Okay. I'll tell the driver to drop you there."

She said in her evergreen soft tone with a cute smile and I smiled at her. But my happy Time was cut short when a familiar spicy cologne hit me nostril. My body stiff and my heart beat fasten.

I didn't look back, but I know it's him. His shoes clicked against the marble and the sound echoed across the hall.

I lowered my eyes sensing him extremely close to us, and as I thought he was there in front of me kissing his mother's cheeks.

His eyes shut and his dimples visible which is a rare sight. His 6.3ft tall personality towering over us and my 5.5ft presence looking dwarf in front of him. His board shoulder made Maa almost invisible to my eyes.

He is so big.

I bite my lips at this thought, i shouldn't think about him. He made me feel oddly different. Usually, I am a shy person, but around him, I am extremely shy.

My confidence crumbled around him, and I always found myself hiding from him. What makes me more sacred is his emotionless face and those charcoal black eyes which are deeper than Pacific Ocean.

I was standing there awkwardly not knowing what to do, my eyes were cast down, and the heart was beating fast. Unintentionally, my cheeks are always red around him.

Which is so bad!

"I was about to call you Xavier"

Maa said in her excited voice. He chuckled, and I looked up for a nanosecond to see his face, which are concentrated of Maa. His smiling face is just a rare sight.

You are lucky today if you saw him smiling.

"Can you drop Iris to Moonstone?"

I heard Maa's voice and my head snapped up. I was shocked by her demand. My eyes flew to Xavier, who look was already looking at me with his cold eyes, making me winch.

"Moonstone?"

For the first time, he spoked.

His velvety and masculine voice reached my ear and I shiver. To a person like him, he really had a good voice. His voice, likes him was emotionless, but the tone was sharp, which made me gulp.

"Yes, Amara called her. Just drop her already, she is in hurry"

She said, and the only thing I chanted in my mind was, please say no.

I don't like being around him much, not because he is rude or anything. It's just he is different from all.

He-He, I don't know...!

He took a deep breath and I bite my lips harder, I know he doesn't like me being near him. I am sure about it.

And I am sure he will say no.

"Hmm OK"

My mouth hung open and eyes widen. I was still looking down when he said that. I gulped at the possibility. I looked at Eva maa who look unbothered by my expression.

"Iris, go with him. I forgot there is no driver around today."

I'll go with the bus then.

"Ok" I meowed.

His shoes again clicked against the marble, and he was out, I looked at Maa who was again engrossed in cooking... Having no other option, I moved out.

My steps were short, and I was continuously biting my lips. I can't even imagine myself alone with him, and now I was going to be alone with him for like 30 minutes.

Oh, my lord!

Unfortunately, I reached my destination which is on the door, there he was standing in navy-blue shirt which was really clinging to him and black pant. As always, his Hairs which are Slightly longer than usual for boys were falling on his eyes. His beard covers cheeks were bowed down which his eyes focused on his phone.

Like always his jaw clenched which I noticed once I was close, I stood there not knowing what to do, but just as I stood he looked up. His black eyes were now focused on me, and I gulped.

Without saying any word, he straighten up and walked to his seat. One-of the thing that I know about him is he like to drive himself.

And he is a good driver.

I stood outside collecting all my courage, but then I heard his goofy voice.

"Get in"

He didn't sounded happy.

Well, he never sound happy.

I hurriedly obeyed him. Even If I don't want to, my body obeys his ever command which are not much as we don't talk.

Sitting on my seat, I waited for him to start the painful journey. I was looking at my lap when I heard him signing and then I felt his presence extremely close to me. My eyes grow wide, and I looked at my side to see him leaning toward him.

What is he doing?

My cheeks turned extremely red when he forwarded his right hand which bypassed my side. then i felt his right hand slightly touched my bare shoulder, his eyes were focused where his hand was and my eyes were now focused on the proximity we were sharing.

For the first time.

I heard a click voice and then realization drawn upon me. He was fixing seat belt. My heart beat which was running in marathon clamed a bit but my cheeks burned in embarrassment

I created a fist of my finger and again looking down. My eyes tightly shut. I felt his beard cheeks touching my another shoulder sending shiver down my body. I felt his hot breath Fanning on my neck making her squirm on my seat but the torture was ended soon.

Like a air he moved back and I felt cold around me. My eyes were still shut and my heart beat fast.

I don't know why my body react this way around him, like he is controlling it without doing anything and that's the another reason why I am scared of him.

He controlls me without doing anything.

I took few deep breath to compose myself but the heavy feeling of his stares I was getting wasn't letting me compose myself.

I never knew why he has such a effect on me. It's hard for me to stay normal around him. Lost in my thought I never noticed him leaning toward me again.

"Open your eyes now.."

I heard his whisper just a inch away from my ear, that set me frozen. My eyes few open and without any thought I looked at my side toward him who was looking at me with a emotionless face.

Gulping at the sight I tried looking away but can't as that black pool of molten lava had me as a capataive already.

Not even a second later I felt his cold finger on my chin making me shock.

What is happening around?

His eyes were boring into mine and for the first time i saw a emotionl flicking in his eyes which I wasn't able to pin Point. I was lost in his eyes when his thumb touched my skin just a inch below my lips.

Just by the mare contact I felt hot and bothered. My breath uneven and eyes flicking between his thumb and eyes.

How am I supposed to spend my next 30 minutes with him when in just 5 minutes I am like this?

I gulped again when I felt his thumb pulled my lips down from my teeth. It come out with a pop sound and i again saw a emotionl flicking in his eyes. This time it was something dark and raw.

Just like him.

And then I heard his extra husky manly voice which was enough to make a blushing Scarlett.

"And don't bite your lips again."
