Am I ready?

I wanted to yell at him from this far but I walked a bit closer to have a clear look , then I realized how wrong I was to doubt him. The woman with him looked quite old, she was on a wheel chair and Eddie was on his knees talking to her but she was not responding to him at all.

" Mom, please say something.. " Eddie asked the woman..

What? Mom....! She is Eddie's mom..

Holy shit and I was thinking of her as someone else.. Regret washed over me for doubting Eddie without any reason.


Hearing my approaching footsteps Eddie turned around,

" So finally you decided to show up... Well it's better late than never... " Eddie said after seeing me there.


" Yeah, I didn't had any option.. Other than to come over here. " I said embarrassed from what I thought about him earlier. I kept looking at the grass in the ground to avoid looking at him.



" It's good that you came or else I myself would have abducted you from that haunted palace. " Eddie said making me go shocked, I instantly looked up at him completely astounded.

" What do you mean? " I asked him perplexed.

He walked close to me and stood just right beside me, so close that our bodies were touching each others.

" I meant exactly what I said Liz.! Come, let's go and meet my mum" Saying he offered me his hands.

I didn't expected that, he'll make me meet his mom and that to so soon.


I hesitantly took his hand, we walked up to where his mom was sitting on her wheel chair.

" Hello Aunty..! " I greeted her.

No response, she wasn't even blinking her eye lids, and was just blankly staring at me..

Perplexed I looked at Eddie..

" She is paralyzed, couldn't speak, walk or do anything on her own.. "The desolation in Eddie's voice was so evident to show that how much he loves his mother.

But this piece of information was shocking for me..

My mind was swimming with questions that I wanted to ask him but I was hesitant to ask remembering his reluctance to talk about his mother whenever I brought up the topic.

I just nodded in response.

" She has been like this from last five years, all the improvement she showed was now she doesn't keeps lying on the bed, I can make her sit on the wheel chair. I know doctor's say that she cannot understand or listen anything, but I know my mom can hear me, and she can understand and sense her surrounding that's why once a week I bring her out to enjoy the nature. " Eddie said with a sigh.

Woo..! All the times when I tried to make him talk about his mother he used to divert the topic and now he is revealing all of this on his own.

I didn't know what to say so I just nodded.. Though I had a lot of question still in my mind, which I wanted to ask like how her mother got paralyzed but I should better not.

" I like the way you care about people's consent. " Eddie said giggling .

" What? " I asked him perplexed.

" I like how you still have so much that you want to know but you are hesitant to ask as it might hurt the other person.. You can ask anything Liz, I don't want to hide anything from you.. " Eddie said smiling.

What is happening today, I didn't saw him since the last two days and now all of a sudden he us ready to give me each and every piece of information that I specifically want to know..
I'm surprised by his new found side.

" I don't want to intrude in your private life.. " I said hesitantly..
Eddie looked at me in disbelief.
" What?... You are part of my private life now liz.. You have full rights to know what ever you want to know " Eddie said to me,

" I'm part of your private life..? " I asked bewildered.

" Of course since the day I first saw you.. You became a part... One of the most important par of my life.. Might I add. So liz.. Don't think ask whatever you want to " He said emphasising a bit.


" Well, In that case how did this happened to your mother..? " I asked..

Eddie fell silent.. I knew it. He is just bragging , I know he doesn't want to talk about her.
I slowly started walking away from him but then suddenly he grabbed my hand and pulled me to eat him, making me crash into his chest again.. His Cologne was all I could breathe now..


" Where do you think you are going.. I know you didn't came here to just walk away.. " He said while I was still leaning onto his chest..
Hearing him say that made me look up at him all of a sudden..


" Eddie, you confuse me..! " I exclaimed , jerking him off and walked a bit away from him.. Cause being this close to him shuts my brain off..


" I confuse you.. ?Care to explain how..? " He irritated asked me..

" Yes, you do.. First you tell me that you don't like to talk about your mother then you go all 360 and yourself start revealing everything.. You say it doesn't matter to you that I'm married but you are the one who constantly keeps reminding me that I'm married, and now you said you'll answer everything regardless of what I ask.. And when I did.. You fell silent " I yelled at him..
I don't know why ..
But the emotion he is evoking in me are killer.. They can kill me regardless of the fact that being with him could turn my world into a graveyard.. I'm here.

" I confuse you.. Really Liz... You confuse me.. First you kept running away from me then kept running into me, I at least told you about my family.. You don't even bother to talk about them.. You say that you don't want us to meet after we actually slept together than you come all the way here and have the audacity to say that I confuse you Liz....? No Liz I don't !.you do confuse me as well as yourself.. " He yelled back at me.

Damn it.. What are we doing where are we taking this..?And holy hell his mother is here doesn't matter if she is paralyzed but still she is here and we are creating a scene in here.

Before I could stop him from yelling at me anymore he started it all over and again..

" Tell me Liz why are you here. Ha..? I already did told you from the very beginning that I want you, I always have wanted you but you... You are damn closed Liz.. I never got to hear what you feel. About us, about this, all about me.. You never told who your family is.. Who your mother is.. When here I made you meet my mom and I don't have any clue about yours , ... " He yelled again..

" My mother's dead.. " I stated and broke into sobs... Eddie looked at me all flummoxed.

He was standing at his spot while I fell on the ground crying. Seeing me so broken, Eddie walked upto me and held Me in his arms.. Wiping my tears and apologizing to me .

" I'm sorry Liz , I didn't knew that.. " Slowly he took my hands and guided me inside his car, Eric has already left so I was left with no other option than to go with Eddie..
Eddie made his mom sit inside the car and drived all the way to his home.. After reaching his home. He made me comfortable and then answered me all my question.
He told me everything about how his mother met an accident making her paralyzed.. He told about his dad Christian, that most of the time he is busy in handling William's business, so he could not take care of his mother. That's why Eddie is always there to help his mother.

He asked me too about my mother how she died but I lied, telling him that she was sick. I obviously can't tell him the truth.

That was the day when actually our forbidden love started, and since then I didn't turned back to see what I was getting myself into ..
Being with Eddie broke all my boundaries. I was feeling free in the cage of his arms..
William was gone for a month, I used this time to spend as much as I can with Eddie.. I met him every day most of the days I used to sleep over at his house..
Our intimacy was at peak. From kitchen counter to couch in the Hall of his home.
From back seat of the car to the river side garden ..Eddie did not left a corner to show me how much he wants to be with me.. Even few a times we used up the opportunity of William's absence and spend our time in palace too ,though I know Rita and Eric are not going to do anything but Emma..she can,Eddie told me that she too can not do anything and asked me not to worry.. I was blossoming in his love . He treated me like a princess, most of the morning when I used to wake up beside him, I found him gazing at me with something unknown.
I know I was falling deep for him... Not falling.. I already have fallen deep for him.. The time which I should have used to plan my revenge, I spent those times with Eddie.. I was completely distracted from my aim now all I was dreaming was to be with him and nothing else..
Most of the time Eddie even asked me to leave William but I kept ignoring his words... But now I can't anymore.

I don't want any revenge... Mom's already gone .. But I still have dad and Danny . I can escape with Eddie taking dad and Danny with us to somewhere William can not find us... We could live there without any fear. My trust on Eddie was so high. Since the day one we have been together he never ever kept anything hidden. So I also decided to give him my all .

I finally did told Eddie how William tricked my father and forced me to marry him . Having no other option left I had to marry him to save my family. I still kept the part of my mother's death hidden cause I don't want any trouble for any one.. And I didn't even told him that William raped me or he used to beat me cause then Eddie will stay here to punish William instead if coming with me. I know William is strong and evil. Eddie wouldn't stand a chance in front of him.

Eddie was looking at me silently after what I told him.

" Liz, but I don't have enough money... How are we going to survive. " Eddie said.. Out of nowhere.. Wait was it even about that.. Why did he brought money into this.?
What the hell then how come all these times he himself asked me to leave William and now when I mean asking him this is what he has to say...

But I trust Eddie in all these times he has always been very open, and has never ever mistreated me or lied to me.. I love him. And I won't let anything separate us...
Call Me desperate but to be with him, I can do anything.. I have never ever found this piece of happiness ever and I'm not ready to let it go off. Eddie made me.. "ME".
" Eddie I'm married to William, I have the right of his property, I'll take or even steal some money from him then we can elope from here right.... " I said hopefully...
I had to do something by tonight.. Tomorrow William will be back..

Eddie stood there silent...
" Eddie.. Say something... " I asked him restlessly..

" Liz... I'll meet you In the morning and will brief you about our plan and then we can elope till then keep missing me .. Okay.. " He said kissing me on my lips tenderly . Then he dropped me back to the palace..

In the night, I some how managed to steal some money from William's cabinet.. And packed my bag keeping my essentials in it..
I was eagerly waiting for the morning.. I know William will be back by tomorrow night and I can easily escape before that..

The very next morning.. I woke up with full enthusiasm to began my not just a new day but new life with Eddie.. Soon I'll be gone from here with him and will be free forever..

But as soon as I got bathed and was approaching towards dining hall..
I heard two familiar voices..
Rushing through the stairs I reached the dining hall.

Holy hell William was back... No way..
He was sitting and dinning with one more person, both of them had their backs towards me.. I could not see their faces but somehow the figure of the other man looked familiar... Very familiar..
That wasn't the shocking news.. But then William got up from his chair and walked up to me and kissed me on my lips forcefully.. But my attention was still on the back of the other man sitting on the chair.

" Ohh Alizeh you are up... Come and join us for breakfast.. " He said offering me his hands.

" Look who is here to join us for the breakfast... I have never been this excited for breakfast... Edward is here.. My son.. To have breakfast with me .. " William exclaimed happily..

But my world fell apart when Edward turned around to greet me...

When I saw him... It was more painful than the death...
Eddie was standing right in front of me as Edward..... Smirking at me... As if Mocking me..

Why?
