All Chapters of Set Me Free: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

What is life? Well, you must be wondering why I’m asking you this question. For me, my life is this mansion. This big mansion, filled with all the luxuries possible, all of the expensive types of furniture. The floors are made of marbles and can get really slippery right after I mop them. Once, the ‘mistress’ of the house slipped and fell on her face. It was funny as hell at first, but later it wasn’t when I got beaten up and had to clean up the entire house on my own. Chandeliers scattered around the house. At night when all of them are lit up, it feels like bright white stars are blinking down at me. They provide serenity to my chaotic mind; I could sit under them and watch them glow in all their glory all night and day.

We arrive at Letty’s in his matte black Audi e-tron GT, it's his favorite car to drive. I stare at the house that is booming with loud music. My hands start sweating due to the nervously, I'm not sure about this. All the rich kids are anything but snooty; I don't know how Zen turned out different. “Why are you worrying so much? It’s just a party Isabel, and you look at you, you look so beautiful.” He tucks a strand of my hair to the back of my ear.

We sit in the car silently while he drives back home. I stare at him and observe his face, it’s completely neutral, and I can’t read him.“Zen?” It comes out as a whisper but he turns his head towards me as soon as I call him.“What is it? Does it hurt somewhere? We should go to the doctor, yes we should. I’m taking a turn.” He turns his gaze towards

“Let’s go, Belle. It’s your birthday, we will party. Just you and I.” Zen pulls on my hand, not letting me mop the floor.“Zen, please you know your mom won’t like it. She will probably take her anger out on me somehow later on. So, please I don’t want to.” I pull my hand away from his hold and start mopping the floor.“

I moan feeling his tongue glide across my neck.  He sucks on my neck and kisses me all over my collarbone. I whimper feeling butterflies erupt in my stomach.“Zen, everyone’s watching,” I whisper tugging his hair.He says nothing and continues his sweet torture on me.

We sit there in each other’s arms not worrying about what will happen next. Where will this relationship go? Will our friendship be ruined because of this step we took? I was worried for a moment, but it all went away when I looked up at his face. Suddenly, nothing mattered at this moment, only he did. I silently stare at him and watch him go through his phone. I look closely at his handsome face and start studying it. His beautiful features are glistening with a light layer of sweat; his eyes are like an ocean. Deep, dark, and full of mystery, I wonder what is going on in his head, is he thinking about us? Is he worried about our relationship?“Hel

Days past since our special night, I’m still drunk in the essence of it. I can still feel his touch dance on my skin; they ignite a blazing fire in the pit of my stomach every time I recall our moments. Whenever I feel my lips with my fingers, I start feeling his lips on mine. His feather like lips, leaves a tickling sensation on mine, making my heart fill up with pure bliss.Drops of hot water from the boiling kettle lands on my hand and pulls me out of my thoughts. I hiss rubbing the area while taking off the kettle from the shove. I pour the water into the cup and put a teabag in it. Mrs. Fleming’s afternoon tea is very crucial, if by any chance I mess

Lately Zen has been busy with his phone 24/7, I often see him giggling and laughing on the phone. I wonder who’s on the other side of the call. I won’t lie but something inside me burns. My heart, it hurts, I feel jealous and I feel like I should be the reason behind his precious laugh. I should be the one he should be with, I should be the one he says ‘I love you’ to. I’m being too selfish aren’t I? But I guess I am selfish when it comes to him. No matter how much I try, my love for him only gets deeper and deeper. It’s getting very difficult for me to see him just as my friend. I won’t lie, but when he said that night was a mistake, it hurt. Because for me it wasn’t a mistake it was something I longed for.After seeing the

Life has been hard lately, incident from that night keeps replaying inside my head. Hearing Zen say that ‘I’m just a maid’ has gotten me back to my senses. I was flying high up in the sky all these years, now suddenly it feels like someone ripped off my wings. I fell so hard on the ground that all my dreams, my wishes shattered into million pieces. Never in my life had I thought, out of all the people, Zen will talk to me in this manner. My heart is broken forever now, I don’t know if I will ever be able to collect the broken pieces of my soul.The smile from my lips has gone off to somewhere. Crying myself to sleep has become normal now. No matter what I do, how busy I try to keep myself; my mind wanders off to him. His face flashes in front of

I sat by the main entrance of the house and waited for Zen. They can’t throw me out of the house for something that I didn’t even do. The sun is about to set, it’s going to get dark. I feel lost, hurt but mostly I'm scared; thinking, what is about to come my way next. Not once did he try to stop her, does he hate me that much now? Just because of my stupidity? I know, they want me to go, but I have no place to call my home apart from this house. Suddenly the main door opens up and Zen&rsquo
