Endless Love A short Story

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

"Why are you here after so many years??" he asked. I could sense anger.

"I'm here.. And I'll stay here.. Its not your hotel mister" I retorted

He came near me and grabbed my waist. I tried moving back but his strong arms were not allowing me to.

"Please- please leave me," I said helplessly.

"Huh, so now you're scared?" he asked shamelessly.

"Please let me go!"

"Go..but you'll regret what you did Ms. Marie Smith"

"What-whatever.."

He left me and I ran away.

I ran away. He followed me. I couldn't reach the hotel room's door, and he locked the door.

"What's your problem, Mr. Adrien? Did I even say anything???"

"You'll regret what you did three years ago," he said.

He came to me. I started going back. He moved forward. I went back and now I was between the wall and him.

"Now where will you go?"

"You! Leave me!"

"And what If I don't!"

"....." I didn't have an answer. He's so strong. I'm nothing.

"Will you go to your boyfriend?"

"What boyfriend?"

"Don't act like that"

"I don't have anyone, Adrien. Please leave me"

"You know I love you"

"But I don't, Adrien. If you love me then why are you forcing your love on me!"

"I never forced you nor will I ever.."

"Just look at what you're doing right now"

He got away immediately as if he never wanted to force me.

"I'm sorry but I can't take it, Marie," he said in a low tone.

"What can you not take?"

"Loving you and being hated. Loving you and being betrayed" he said and started crying. For the first time, I saw him weak.

"I didn't betray you, Adrien, you did"

"I don't think this is the right time to talk" he said and went away.

I don't know what he's thinking. He betrayed me all these years and now he came and told me he loves me? Even he said that I betrayed him? Is he serious? I should be the one crying. I have no one in this world.

Why did he come so suddenly after complete three years? Did he know... How have I cut these years? Without him, without anyone? And now... He's here forcing his love on me. After what he did... I don't love him anymore. I hate him. I can't love anyone. My belief in love has totally vanished. And it'll never return. Never.
