Prologue

Allesandro Martin: She is a mortal danger to all men. She is beautiful without knowing it and possesses charms that she is not even aware of. She is like a trap set by nature, a sweet perfumed rose in beautiful petals. Anyone who has seen her smile has known perfection. She instills grace in every common thing and divinity in every careless gesture. Venus in her shell never so lovely and Diana in the forest never was so graceful like her body. She Edith Penelope Rodriguez my dream, my desire and my every breath. 'I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I will lead a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's lived: I have loved you Edith Penelope Rodriguez. I never had a moment's doubt. I believe in you completely. You are my dearest one, my reason for life." Loving you is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it's not the desire to mate every second of the day with you but it is much more. It is a feeling of completeness being FATED like you are made only for me. You are my heart, my life, my one and only thought. Edith Rodriguez: He is the most striking man I had never laid my eyes upon. Like a silver fox he is eligible to pose for a cover page of Forbes magazine. He had a perfect bone structure and those smart features with high cheek bones. He is manly, hot and every teenage girl's wet dream. His sparkling blue eyes are a sight to see. From them come's an intensity, honesty and gentleness. His beauty lies deep within. It makes me want to feel how his lips would move on my rims and how his hands would caress the curves of my body. 'You say I am your emerveillement. You say you will never leave me, not in a million years yet no words of love fall out of your brims. You sweep my hair back from my ears and look into my eyes like I am your biggest fortune you came across. I cannot let you burn me up nor can I resist you. No male human can stand in a fire and not be consumed. Loving you is like a dream. I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't do anything but think about you. All day I wait to see you and when I do meet you my heart turns over and I think will faint with desire. I fantasize to feel your arms around me. I have never felt being blessed so much to be a woman until your icy blues fell upon me. We have loved each other for so long but with no words in expression. It is now the time we are probably FATED together Alllesandro Jacob Martin. ******* The winter was severe in Newyork. It was the month of December raining heavily accompanied by thunders. The sky was black surrounded by dark clouds in the night. I was in Allesandro's house sitting in front of the bonfire rubbing my hands to one another to generate some heat. "Edith, here is your hot chocolate." Allesandro hands me my mug and squats beside me sipping his own drink. I held the mug in both my hands taking small sips and enjoying the richness of hot chocolate. "Are you still feeling cold?" His voice was throaty and very masculine that held concern as he studies my face. Before I could reply he was on his feet again. He brings a blanket and gently covers us in it. The light touch sent shivers through my nerves, shivers that made my whole body tremble. He bent down, his lips against my cheek, brushing it lightly. "Edith I missed you so much." He whispers husky near my ear. His soft touches were sending wild tremors along my nerves accompanied by his pure male lemon and hue fragrance.  He brushed his mouth against the hollow of my temple and traced the line of her cheekbone evoking in me the sweet sensations I had never known. His hands move up my back and over my arms pulling me closer swimming me to giddiness. "Edith, can I kiss you?" His hoarsely tone held the lullness of the sea yet with yearn of passion. I clear my throat and nod to him. He brings his hands gingerly to my back urging me closer. Our chests collide and I take a sharp shaky breath. He bent my head back across his arm and kissed me gently, carefully, softly on my lips. I cling to him as the only solid thing resting in this dizzy swaying world. "Sandro I need you as much as you need me." I whisper throbbing in his hold pulling him towards me and then we kiss again. The fervid canoodle steals my breath away. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding and it's nothing like I've ever experienced. I knot my fist in his shirt and my fingers grip his hair, pulling him closer. My veins throb and my heart explodes. I have never wanted anyone like this before ever. He groaned softly, low in his throat, and then his arms circled me, gathering me against him. When he finally kisses my mouth, everything goes oddly quiet, like the moment of silence between lightning and thunder. Every square inch of my body dissolves into his. "I love the way you fit in my arms." He mutters rasping between our kiss and with a swift gradation of intensity he was kissing me again harder, deeper. His insistent mouth parted my shaking lips with a fervent need until I've had a taste to realize I'll never have enough. Sneak-peek Edith It was my friend Regina's birthday. She came to my house, rather Allesandro's house to invite me on her birthday.  I wanted to utilize the opportunity. There is no use of staying with a man who doesn't give prominence to my life, importance to my existence and regards me as nothing but a trash in his house. I told Allesandro without a shame that I love him and he turned me down. He rejected me once when I was in school and this is the second time I had to face his refusal. I could no longer live with him. Every time I looked at him my defeat against him pinched me. The acceptance of his denial was something my heart couldn't hold anymore. I had proposals from many boys in my school but the only man I was attracted since I knew about my existance was Allesandro Martin. I called Shelton, made a plan with him. He is the only man who understands me right. He doesn't dominate me like my dumb wit brother or a moron like Allesandro. He likes me like a wife for him giving me due importance in all his decisions. He is 'the' man for me. It is not always that love precedes marriage. Sometimes it can be the other way too. My mom's life is the brightest example for me on this. Though I did not love Shelton like Allesandro may be my life is going to turn a bed of roses after marriage just like my mother's. May be the history is going to repeat itself once again. A smile laces my features as I think about a family, a bright future with Shelton and our kids. Allesandro was sitting in his study reading a file. I knock the door with Regina beside me to get a little psychological support. Though my legs were shivering in anticipation of the bold step I am going to undertake I present a confident look in front of Allesandro. "Hello Good morning sir, I am Regina, Edith's friend. Today is my birthday and all my friends are coming. I will be much happier if Edith joins in my celebration." Allesandro pushes the file beside giving me his complete attention. "Edith, would you wish to go to your friend's birthday party?" I frantically nod, unable to control my happiness. May be the beast has a heart. "Okay James will drive you to her house." Allesandro points his eyes to Regina. "Sir, I already brought my car with me. I will share with you my address and you can send your driver in the evening to bring Edith back." Sandro places one of his legs on the knee of the other and leans back. His fingers were playing with the pen in his hands. "Ms Regina I am sorry to defy but I don't take suggestions from anyone. I only give orders. The dolt was back to his usual. I squeeze the finger of Regina cautioning her not to speak further. "James is going to drop you and get you back in the evening from Regina's house. Is that clear Edith? I have some very important appointments today in the hospital so I cannot drop and pick you but I cannot risk at your security either. So James will accompany you to Regina's house." He reopens the file in front of him and signs on the document. "And remember no drinks. I want to see you as sober as you are when you are going to her house." He points his index finger to me and eyes hinting a warning. Freaking domination personified dunce. I thought. This was my chance for the escape. I give him my puppy eyes like an innocent doll which I know will surely have an ebbing effect on him and just like that I could see the change of emotions in his eyes. "Will James stay with me throughout the party?" I ask him getting worried. If that's going to happen all my plan will fail like flop film even before its release. "Do not worry about that Sweet cakes, he will not be a disruption to your privacy. He will park the car somewhere nearby but he will be there for you if you require him. May God forbid but do not hesitate to call. Okay?" He asks me like I was a child of three softly patting my head. I did a happy dance in my mind and fled from him. I fled away from his dominating rule and beat a hasty retreat from my family with no clue of tracing me back. Irrespective of my past, my future is now going to be Greeny. Allesandro crushed my confidence, my self esteem with no recollection, such a demeaning asshole that he is. All my hopes are shattered,  my desires and dreams torn to bits. When I asked him the reason for my unprivileged treatment, the cause for turning down my proposal the only answer he gave me was "Edith you and I are like two railway lines that would go together but can never become one." Goodbye Allesandro Martin, from your swaying paramountcy ruling superiority and puissant supremacy.
