"Mother.. please I don't want to marry him" I pleaded to her.
"You know Eve nothing can be done now" She replied "Come on compose yourself you have to make appearance".
Soon I was dragged near the entry from where my father escorted me t...
She winced and tears spilled "Richard you are hurting me. Please calm down".
When I noticed her tears I immediately let go and regretted what I did it will surely leave bruises.
"Evelyn look I am sorry. I was worried when I didn't find you here and the last thing I expected you with a Mafia Leader" I said.
She sniffled and said "It's ok Richard I understand". I looked at her with guilty expression when she said "I didn't know if you would have informed me that people like him also come here may be I would have avoided him". She looked at me and left to her room and locked the door. I could hear her crying but I didn't know what to do.

Eve's POV
I don't understand why Richard got so wild. He could have just told me that Mr. Carlos was Mafia. I would have avoided him in the first place but still when I recalled the past day I spent with him. It was like he is a normal carefree person. I just could not believe he is in Mafia moreover the boss of them.
Richard's today's behavior scared me and for a moment brought forward the memories of past and I saw some traces of Steven in him today. I was afraid he will switch back to the rude self or someone like Steven and the little friendship which was budding now was going to be lost. Sometimes I feel I am mad to even think someone would actually be friends with someone like me. I always keep expectations from others and it always backfire and I don't know why I don't stop myself from doing it all. It would be so great not to feel anything and then nothing will hurt me. Thinking about that pained me and I could not stop myself from sobbing in the pillow. I cried for my present, I cried for my past and soon I dozed off without even realising and when I woke up it was 5:00 AM already and so I freshened up quickly and dressed myself in comfortable blue shorts and matching black top and took my ear buds for music and left our suite to run in the hotel park. I knew running was my only escape it gave me peace from my negative thoughts it boosts me and that's what I chose to do now.

As I was running I got distracted when I heard footsteps but I ignored them thinking it might be another jogger but soon the person was running beside me. I ignored it thinking person will pass but for more than five minutes the person was running beside me and when I glanced at them I could not believe it-- Ivan was running beside me and when his eyes met mine he smiled at me a genuine smile.
