I felt uneasy, the way he was eating pizza and almost moaning while his tongue drowning in cheese. Lets just say, I mostly lost my appetite after watching him stuffing more pizza!

''Mhmmm.. Okay I am satisfied now.. So yes that girl is well your entertainment.. Ah, how can i miss you twerking yesterday..'' He took another slice, while I was licking cheese from my pizza. ''Oh, I forgot to tell you, you were grinding against her since you practically yelled her on phone to come here or you'd make sure to sell her to some banshee'' Horror evident in my eyes, I started biting more pizza..

''Then?'' I asked shockingly.

''Then comes the fun part.. We three were playing cards game, oh no wait wasn't cards.. But that vodka game... Oh what it is called again?'' My face went red due to embarrassment.

''Never have I?'' I asked and he nodded yes. It's the only game I remember where people are sinking in vodka and I've to drag Ray's not-so-sorry ass.

''Hmm interesting.. So i think you are getting blur picture of how wild you are? Let me tell you a secret... Are you secretly a lesbian?'' I choked my pizza on the floor.. Was he serious?

''What i just asked? Its okay if you are.. I wont mind, I wont even tell anyone. Pinky promise.'' I started laughing, and this time he was looking at me like I've been rejected from mental institute.

''Well you never know.. But seems like you're quite interested in my sexuality.. What's the matter Jayden, trouble in paradise? I flashed my award-winning smirk.

''I should ask you the same, because you were so keen to strip her and bounce that twigs'' He said nonchalantly.

''Why are so interested about me? Little Jay Jay falling for Natalie?''

''Oh shut up Nad---- Natalie. I've seen better." Something flashed in his eyes, but I looked away.

''And what happened after that? I continued sipping my coke. ''Ive never seen someone so attractive and so close personality like you which matches a famous personality from my past.. How often you party Natalie? Because your resistance for alcohol is quite strong..'' My face went pale... He could have not known me right? Ray wouldn't dare you.

''Excuse me, I need to make a quick call'' I immediately ran towards the phone and punched Ray's number..

''RAY.. YOU FREAKING IDIOT. CANT YOU KEEP UR FUCKING MOUTH SHUT??? HOW DOES HE KNOWS?'' I yelled loudly, thank-god i was in bathroom!

''HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA'' He replied.

''RAY I SWEAR TO ATHENA, ILL BANG YOUR SORRY-ASS WITH BLOODY CENTIPEDES IF YOU DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTION!'' I can break the damn mirror.

''I SAID NO ONE ANYTHING THAT YOU FUCKED ME IN GRADE TENTH.. AWW MELLISA HOW WONDERFUL YOU WERE IN BED, AND OOOH THE HEAVENLY MOANING.'' I ENDED HIS CALL. I was so furious, i took the vase and shattered the damn mirror, immediately someone started banging heavily.

I opened the door, still furious with phone call.

''Natalie, i heard the crash.. What happened ? Are you okay?'' I laughed.. I really laughed. Damn i needed a corner to cry. That foolish person is drunk, and i cringed. He lost his virginity at barely sixteen years? Wait what if he's lying in his drunk state too.. I held my head which was now paining. I wanted to scream! I felt the need to tell him about my past, but so much cruelty.. So much criminality, so many hidden doors, and so many dark secrets were permanent shelter in my life.. Do i really wanna go in that state? State of trauma? That drugs and clubbing and drinking?

''I wish Jayden, life could have been a little easy for me...'' I left him shocked, removing a piece of glass from my hand which was messed up in my blood..

''You always have options, just need to embrace them and stop future predictions.. Embrace the risks, and start living.. Hopefully one day you'll get your direction." I was speechless. He was giving me life talks which were actually true. I was always afraid of my father, and his position.. Expectations, that ''you're doomed to be caged'' I was afraid, I'd lose myself in all that glamorous diamonds, which were nothing but thorns. Painful thorns, whom people called ''Luxury'' Ever saw a rich-class girl smiling happily ? I don't think so.. Being away from normalcy and accepting the manners and meeting that standards at age of two, when you barely started breathing was a tragedy.. Now wasn't it?

He took my hand and i screamed in agony.. I didn't felt the pain, but i was hurt.. Someway or other those advice hurt a painful door in my heart. He cracked my walls. I was adamant to stay away from him, but someone fate brought us together. I never questioned my fate, but i do now. Realisation hit me, when antiseptic liquid was being applied on my wound but i didn't felt pain. Tears poured from my eyes, heck i could see his fingers trembling because he felt my pain. I had glint of determination but not pain.

Was it normal for me? Was it normal how i lost someone while he saved my life? Was it normal how her sister was kidnapped in front of me, and i was standing there, watching them let her go? Was it normal for me to change my hair, my attire, and live every moment of my life in fear.. Fear they'll kill me, but worse, fear they'll harm my parents.. My rose.. My little family, my small little paradise.. I wasn't afraid of myself, because fear made my soul hollow. I never felt pain, i embraced it. But i didn't wanted my sister to face my consequences.

''You don't feel pain, do you?'' I smiled shyly.

''Ive taken worse then this, pain lives inside me.'' His hold on my hand tightened. I can feel his blood flowing with simple touch, i can feel his veins popping out.. But why would he care?

''If i were you, I wouldn't lie. I wouldn't shield myself from fear. I wouldn't-'' Before he could complete his sentence, I fell down with thud. I was near to breakdown. He cant break my walls.. No no he cant. I was shaking in fear, that past came right back to me.. That night, that street.. That chasing, and that bullet pierced my heart. In one second... only in one second, i lost him.

''You don't know pain of losing someone.. You don't know pain of results that someone has to pay due to your mistakes.. You don't know how it feels to lose your world in one second. You're not helpless, but just immobile. Useless. Worthless...'' And it came. I screamed in pain as i pierced the broken glass again and again on my wrists, tears pouring heavily from my eyes.

Jayden's p.o.v

That scream haunted living day lights of me. I grabbed the broken glass immediately from her hands before she could damage herself more. She cried in agony, so much pain hidden inside of her.

I wondered about my plan.. Ashley... But right now, Natalie needed me. I hugged her and showered all my love to her. I kept convincing her with soothing words which were fake to her ears. Soon she was calm. But I know this was silence before the storm. Her mind was like a jigsaw puzzle. Nor could I figure her out, nor the missing pieces of the puzzle.

She kept bringing up someone, some scene.. some one whom she loved all her life and he or she is no more? Why I felt somewhere we are connected. We shared the same pain, but I didn't lost her yet. I know Ashley was alive. Somewhere in the corner, somewhere breathing. Somewhere hoping for her brother. But I need to destroy them. Destroy my own mistakes. Destroy my own fate.

"Have faith Natalie. Wheel of your pain will come to halt soon. That's my promise to you" She was snoring now. I didn't knew if she heard me but I smiled.

But I wouldn't fall for her. Once I get my sister back and I destroy everything I'll make sure never to see her again.

I tucked her in her bedroom more like our hotel room. At this point Aunt's wedding was totally forgotten. I went back to the kitchen and tossed a stash of cash to that girl.

"Well done" I said keeping a straight face. She tried to approach me but I kindly asked her to leave.

It was all a plan, a plan to crash in her walls. A plan to make her more vulnerable unless she starts spitting truth.

I checked my phone and was shocked to see whom she called. A smile crept on my face, because she called someone who was very dear to me.

Ray...

Why not? I should have linked those two.. I should have connected the dots. He knows Natalie for more years. Damn it!

I was frustrated. Why didn't I used him for information? After all he was present at every event. Like a mirage, only seen to specific people.

I went to settings and heard her conversation with Ray, where she was asking her lungs out and that stupid jerk opened up about his virginity. I laughed at their conversation. It's good to keep technology in check.

After few hours...

I crept in her room, observing her snoring form. Why is it girls look so heavenly while they're snoring and moment their eyes open satanic soul enters them? I sat next to her sleeping form, observing her features of face. Very toned yet something caught my eye...

I caught a strip of her hair and saw her roots.. They weren't blonde.. They were..Brown... How on earth? This girl was legitimate brunette?

I quickly called my agent, shutting her room.

"MARC..I have a job for you" He smiled. That leech just wanted challenges and stack of money!

"How much?"

"10 cents" I chuckled.

"Don't waste my time. What's your challenge?" Now we're talking.

"I need information about Natalie Williams" he choked.

"Pardon?"

"You heard me. Money will be transfered in your account when the work is done" I pressed end button.

My stomach growled in hunger.
Time for Pizza!

Natalie's p.o.v

I moaned inwardly as something delicious.. Something cheesy... Mhmmmm Pizza. Hot spicy cheesy pizza. In no second I jolted up, despite of my caveman looks I attacked Pizza.

"Uh-huh uh" a hand grabbed that box away from me. I gasped in horror.

"I need pizza omg. I'll die. I need my elixir. I need my kryptonite" I said shocking myself. Oh no, I shouldn't have said that. My weakness. Oh no. Colour was fading from my face, as I immediately excused and went to washroom.

Tears escaped my eyes. I shall not cry anymore. I've to mask my emotions. I can't show any weaknesses.

He's gone Nadia. So will his memories. Forget him Nadia.

Washing my face and combing my hair I sprinted back to him. Who was eating interestingly, and I poured all ketchup on his pizza. His eyebrows perked up and I found my chance to steal my pizza.

But he licked off the ketchup and continued eating his pizza with delight.

Son of bitch loved ketchup!

"Where's my food?" I asked annoyingly yet add sweet gesture to it.

"Go order yourself" I rolled my eyes. I chose not to eat. What kind of gentleman he'll be if he can't even offer food?

"I'm going out" I said and left. I changed my clothes but sadly had to wear the sweaty outfit of yesterday. I wonder if I have puked or something. Just I was doing my hair he barged in grabbing my hand and pushing me towards couch.

"Eat" he barked.

As much as I was staring that cheesy pizza, I protested. My stomach roared in hunger, but today I'm not eating. If he's a jerk, then I'm a bitch too!

"Like I said, I'm going out" I got up awkwardly thinking where to go in this city without my cash or my phone. Wait I had my purse yesterday? I rushed to my room and searched for my purse.

"Looking for this honey?" A dark voice haunted me.

"Yep, Thank-you for your efforts" as I went to collect my asset. But being nosey person he is, he shifted his position. So now I've to catch him and get ownership of something which belonged to me?

"You know what? Keep it. You never know it might be useful for you." I smirked. Because it had tampons.

He smiled devilishly.

"Let's see how many condoms you've stashed in here" My eyes glinted mysteriously.

More like your manly period tampons?

And moment he opened my purse and emptied it in different direction his eyes dozed to zero.

Told ya, my tampons were all over my place!

"What the? Wait... what are those?" He actually picked up one and opened the damn packet. I wanted to puke!

"Don't tell me you've never seen one in your entire life!"

"Of course I've seen it. Ash-.Uhm my friend used it. I just wanted to see your expressions" I stared him deeply. He masked his emotions but i know for a second there was feeling of hurt in his eyes.

I collected my valuables from tampon stealer. I assembled them in my purse and started walking towards the door.

"No matter where you go, I'll always catch you" he said but I didn't care.

I called my shinning knight to cover up my mess.

"Keegan" I whispered.

"Where are you?" He panicked.

"Just some splendid hotel. Pick me up please, make sure you bring clean clothes for me" I ordered.

"Have you slaughtered someone ? Or killed a poor life?" He asked way too seriously but I chuckled.

"More like annoyed, yeah"

After half an hour, a car shows up. But it wasn't Keegan it was just his driver. I was disappointed but hey I got my clean clothes. In no time I got inside and told drive an unknown address. An old place, a warm shelter. Home...

I thanked the driver and took his number in case of emergency. I observed the surrounding area.. Nothing changed. Everything was wild here. Even the air was same. Smoke filled my lungs and I sighed.

I went back to the building which hold all my memories. All the flashbacks of enjoyment and emotions swelled up in my heart. How I missed him...

I visited the neighbour who luckily had the key to his apartment. No one changed. My hands were trembling, I didn't had courage to face it. Memories slapped me.

As I decided to open the door anyway, I felt a shadow creeping me. Immediately I turned my back, and was shocked.

"You... I. You? What are you doing here?" I screamed. Rage made its way back to me.

"Annoying you of course" I smirked.

Bitch will always be a bitch.

"What are you doing here?" I kept straight face.

"Came for smoke of course. Unless I met you dear NADIA" I wasn't even surprised a bit, after all these years she remembers me. But something poked my dress.

"Now now, I wasn't amazed to see a gun, but I still pity you." She pressed harder, but I felt no pain.

I smiled inwardly as I used my pointed heel and kicked her feminine part. She fell with a thud. Before she can move, I kicked her nose and made sure to pour blood all over her ugly face.

She screamed in agony, but I wasn't done. I clicked her photo and then tortured her with knife.

"Where is she?" I used my knife slowly peeling off her skin and letting blood ooze on her shoulder. Her eyes were staring back at me in horror.

"Who?" She whispered.

"Oops wrong answer" as I forcefully inserted the knife damaging her neck, rivers of blood flowing freely. She looked scared.

But I love fear. I loved how vulnerable she was, who years ago fed me doses of insanity. Who years ago kidnapped a very important person. Now I'll slaughter them all.

"She- I.. I don't know" I slapped her smiling at her bloody face.

"Didn't you said the same when FBI investigated your pity ass? Now now tell me where my favourite frenemy is?" I smiled more now. Hurt flashed her eyes but she was a loyal bitch.

"I..Ita..Nathan...I.." Before I could slaughter her more, I heard footsteps.

Shit I'm screwed.

So I did the best thing,I unlocked the door and slowly locked it from inside. Through the peek hole I saw who the person was....

Veronica

I immediately ducked my head down, because she suspectedly started looking around. But this apartment was older then her virginity.

She called someone. I was eager to know how she tracked me. I never suspected her until now.

"Hello.. I found Katherina" she said with sadness.

"She's in bad shape. Someone has punctured a nice amount of anger on her" Realisation hit me... All those time she was spying?

But I waited to hear her whole conversation.

"You gotta trust me on this. Nadia knows something very big. She's clearly hiding it." I saw her getting angry.

"Shut up Motherfucker. I won't do your dirty deed. She's my closest friend. I'm not passing my limits." I sighed in relief. She didn't betrayed me yet.

"I'll take this body and dump in hospital. Gotta clean my hands before wedding" I was still paralysed why would she stalk me or she would know Katherina. But however I've to play this game very carefully now.

Who knows next it's Jayden or Keegan playing against me.
