"You can't stop me from talking to him" I said angrily. "Oh yeah!!... but I can, I have every right" Xavier said coming dangerously close to my ear. My breath hitched at his words. "Why?" My voice came out as a mere whisper because of his sudden close proximity. "Because babygirl! You are MINE, MINE to adore, MINE to cherish, MINE to protect, MINE to possess. ALL....MINE!!"  He said in my ear in a dangerous tone full of possessiveness wh....

This book is dedicated to

My Mom

Who has been my strength and my support,

My hardest critic and my most loyal follower.

Maa,

You have not only brought me to life,

You have given meaning to my life,

You are my light in the gloomy days,

And

You’re my whole!

THE NOT SO INNOCENT LOVE

Author's Note

Hello My Dear Reader,

First of all, I would like to thank you for giving my book a chance at reading.

Innocent Love is a part of My Heart which can Never be Replaced!

For Me, it is Not just a Book,

It is My Emotion,

It is My Journey from a Normal Teenager to a Sensible Human,

It is My Piece of Art, (however, people may think otherwise)

It is ME!!

Writing this book has been a great experience as I've laughed with my characters & I've also cried with them. I guess that is why people could relate to my words because my main mantra before writing anything is to

'Feel what I want to Write'

&

'Get involved in what I want to Write'

because if I don't write with emotions then how can I expect my readers to feel those emotions and relate!

I have started this book on wattpad. When I first started it, I was hoping for it to cross 100 reads. I remember I used to keep a check on the number of reads every hour of the day, hoping they would increase and cross a 100 & gradually they crossed more than a 100,000 & still growing!!

I can't express how much love & appreciation I've got for my books from so many parts of the world!❤

It means a lot for me that my words have touched the hearts of so many people❤

I didn't know that I had it in me to even write something relatable but now, starting with this book, I have evolved not only as a Writer but also as a Person!

I got to know so many aspects of myself while writing that I can't express them in words!

A big thanks to all those who have been a part of my journey & still are!

The purpose of this book is to bring a smile on your face

Regards,

Muskan Suri

ANNA’S POV

Oh holy mother!

I was late!

It was my first day of college and I was freaking late!

Wow Anna! What a great start!

My inner self muttered sarcastically.

I quickly did my hair and wore my white sundress with my favorite pair of shoes, grabbed my bag along with an apple and went out of my PG straight to my college.

For those who don’t know what a PG is, well, it’s a house where the owner rent the spare rooms. I was living there with four other girls along with the owner named Bernard, a man in his mid-fifties, friendly face but eyes looked as if they were full of malice.

Whatever, I was just over-thinking. I have a tendency to do that a lot.

The girls were also very strange. All had pale face with lifeless eyes.

Those gave me goose bumps!

They didn’t even talk to me when I get there last night.

Rude!

But I also didn’t care or well, I was just too tired to care at that time.

Oh! Forget about them and let me introduce myself.

I am Annabelle Martins. I just moved to Vancouver from a small town about four hours away from here. I lived there with my mom, dad and a younger brother. They all love me immensely and I love them too.

I have always been a straight ‘A’ student in my school. I was intelligent but not the nerdy type. It’s just that I grabbed the concepts very quickly. I got a scholarship in a big business college, here, in Vancouver. Needless to say, my parents were ecstatic but they were also very worried about how I would manage to stay away from home in a new city but my puppy dog eyes did the magic and they agreed to send me.

They also agreed partially because of Daniel, my childhood friend and neighbor. We both had always been good friends. Being elder than me, he used to act as my big brother and was very protective of me. Knowing that Daniel was also in the same college where I had been selected, my parents were very relieved.

I called him in the morning and informed him about everything. He was elated and wanted to meet me. But me being me, I was late. So, I told him to meet me during the lunch break.

As the college building came in the view, nervous butterflies started erupting in my stomach.

Deep breathes, Anna! Deep breathes!

I quickly reached the college and into the reception area to get my schedule. When I was about to leave, I bumped into a wall.

Wait!

There wasn’t a wall when I entered!

I looked up to see that it was not a wall. It was a guy.

No! No! No!

It was not a guy!

It was a God!

No! No! No!

Scratch that!

It was a Greek God!

A bit overdramatic, I know. But I couldn’t help it, he was that handsome.

Large muscular chest, highly built shoulders, chocolate brown hair and deep blue eyes.

Oh God! Kill me already!

He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt with sleeves rolled up. He was looking not less than a Calvin Klein model. I was checking him out and I noticed that he was doing the same.

Okay, enough of ogling Anna!!

Get a grip!

I cleared my throat and stepped back. I muttered a quick ‘sorry’ and ran out of the door but not missing the smirk on his face.

Well, that was embarrassing!

I got into my first class and thanked the God that the teacher hadn’t arrived yet. I sat on an empty seat in the third row. A girl with red hair and black eyes approached me.

"Hey, I am Lily, I am new here like everyone else, so I was hoping, can we be friends?" she asked shyly, a bit flustered.

Okay! That was easy!

I also wanted new friends here and she seemed quite easy going. So, well, yeah, why not then!

"Hey, I am Anna and we can surely be friends" I said with a smile.

We shook hands. She sat next to me and the teacher arrived.

We both had all the classes together except economics. During the lecture, we talked and got to know each other. She was a very sweet girl. She lived in Vancouver with her parents.

We attended our classes together and in no time, it was lunch break.

I texted Daniel and told him to meet me in the cafeteria. Lily and I went there. I spotted Daniel as soon as we entered. He had black hair and was nicely built. He was wearing a pair of old faded jeans with a fitted t-shirt. He was looking quite nice, I must say. He was with a group of boys standing next to a table where some girls were also sitting. I went to him along with Lily.

"BOO"

I screamed and Daniel jumped in panic. He looked so funny. Everybody at the cafeteria saw the scene getting unfolded and started laughing. When Daniel saw me, a huge smile graced his face and he gave me his famous bear hug.

"Ohh Anna!! You will never change, will you? How are you? When did you reach here? Why didn’t you tell me? You girl have a lot of explaining to do, I am really mad." He bombarded me with questions.

"Okay okay calm down big boy!! I am fine and I reached here yesterday night and I wanted to surprise you that’s why I didn’t tell you and how can you be angry with me? I am your sweet little Anna."

I gave him my puppy dog eyes and they again did the magic. He melted and gave me his dazzling smile but still reprimanded me not to do something like that again to which I nodded my head.

"It’s so good to have you here" He said "Let me introduce you to my friends."

He introduced me to his friends- Carter, Aaron, Aiden, Clara, Alina, Kristen and lastly, Xavier, the boy I bumped into in the morning. He didn’t even smile at me and was looking at me strangely as if trying to look into my soul. I averted my gaze from his penetrating stare.

I get to know that Carter and Clara are together, so are Aaron and Alina, Aiden and Kristen.

Aw! How cute!!

I introduced Lily to them. We sat on the same table and started talking. They were all very friendly, kind and polite. It was easy to get along with them.

Daniel had his arm around my shoulder when we started eating. I saw Xavier was again staring but this time not at me but at Daniel’s arm around my shoulder. Well, not like staring but more like burning holes with his eyes but I didn’t paid any heed to it and just brushed his stare off.

I was talking with the girls when Daniel asked suddenly.

"So Anna, where are you staying as hostels here are already full?"

When I told him about my PG, he choked on his drink. Everybody on the table appeared shocked and Xavier was clenching his fist. He looked as if he was ready to murder anyone.

Now, I was confused!

"You can’t be serious, right? You can’t be staying in that PG!" Daniel exclaimed.

"I am serious Daniel. Why would I joke about anything like that? Is there any problem with that PG?" I asked a bit scared.

"That PG is not safe, hell, that whole area is not safe. The PG’s in that area are associated with the Mafia. Mafia men often come there and use innocent girls like you to satisfy their needs and when they are done, they either kill those girls or keep them alive as long as they satisfy their needs. Those poor girls are like lifeless skeletons as they can’t even complain to the police or else their families will get killed. They have no choice but to oblige with them. Even police is also associated with the mafia. They are that dangerous."

Carter’s words left me stunned. Never have I ever thought I would go to that kind of place. But the dumb me had spent an entire night over there.

God! I was a panicking mess!

Tears were blurring my vision. I started shaking. Daniel’s hold on me tightened.

"Anna, are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Of course Daniel, I am not okay. I have spent an entire night in that place. I can’t go back there. What if something happen to me, what if those mafia men caught me, what if they kill me, what if…."

"You can stay with me."

Xavier’s voice stopped me from my nervous rambling. I looked up at him. His face was serious. Everyone at the table looked at him strangely. But I was not in my right mind to point that out.

"I have a house here. You can stay with me. I have an extra room. You will be safe there. I can’t let you stay in that PG. So you are coming with me to stay at my place." He said firmly.

His voice left no room for discussion. But I was not going with him just like that.

"Wait, I cannot stay with you. I barely know you. What if you are some kind of murderer, gangster, rapist or a psychopath! No, no, no, I can’t stay with you" I exclaimed in panic. My scared senses getting the best out of me.

The look on his face changed from seriousness to amusement. Aaron snickered at my words.

"Well, you know Daniel. He is my friend for 3 years now. He can tell you that I am not a murderer, gangster or a rapist" He said with amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Wait, what about being a psychopath?" I asked, completely serious. He chuckled.

"You can ask Daniel about that too. And you don’t have any other place to go, so you have to come with me. I promise I won’t try anything on you" He said the last part very seriously.

I thought about it for a minute and then dragged Daniel to the other side of the cafeteria where others, especially Xavier wouldn’t hear us.

Daniel assured me that Xavier won’t hurt me and that he was a good guy but also warned me that I should be careful around him as he was known for being a playboy. I trusted Daniel. He was always like an elder brother I never had. So, I agreed to stay with Xavier for the time being. It’s not like I had any other option though.

.

.

So looks like I have to move in with the playboy. I hope it will be easy but I am having a feeling it will not be.
