When We Were Perfect

CHAPTER 1

The sun was falling behind the horizon from the terrace of his 40th-floor building. A man was kneeling in front of him with hands tied behind his back, dusty blood-stained clothes, his face blemished violet because of repeated punching. His sin, he disrespected and betrayed Zayan Orsini by attempting to sell the blueprints of new aircraft models to a rival company.

"I-I am sorry Sir, I b-became greedy after hearing t-their offer!" He stammered, cowering in fear, shivering under his gaze. Two muscular bodyguards were standing behind still in their position along with his right hand or assistant Mir.

He stared at the cowering man with an evil smile but the fury in his forest green orbs couldn't be missed. He was standing there with a powerful aura that spread everywhere he went.

"You fucking stole the blueprints and then tried to sell it to my rivals. Do you forget who you work under? I am the only present king of this business, I can even blow this country with the snap of my fingers!" His eyebrows rise and green orbs darken almost the shade of emerald green.

"Whoever betrays me, I make sure to hang their heads in my office as a lesson for others!!" Zayan hissed, controlling the boiling rage inside his body.

"I b-beg y-yo-you pleas-e spare my life,I h-have a family!" The man pleaded.

"Spare your life, you are asking the wrong person because I FUCKING HATE BETRAYALS AND LIARS!!" Zayan roared before pulling out his black 9mm from his back and shooting him in both his knee caps and shoulder making the guy shriek as the blood pooled around on the floor.

Zayan motioned Mir to come forward.

"Get him admitted to a hospital and make sure he doesn't die afterwards, hand him over to the hospital before making sure to zip his mouth!" 

Mir nodded, motioning the two guards to carry him while Zayan walked out of the scene towards his office. Taking out a cigar, he lit it up before inhaling and taking a deep puff of it. Closing his eyes and calming himself down.

Power, money and Orsini industries that's what all his life is about along with casual sex with flings to relieve his frustration. He can't imagine a single day of his life without working as Zayem called him Mr Workaholic. Love was never his cup of tea and never will be as he promised himself to never fall in love after all the bitter past experiences.

The day he turned sixteen was the day Joshua risked helping them escape that basement. Layla and his boyfriend Ricky were both shocked when they returned two days later with police and his father's lawyers. The police couldn't arrest Layla and Ricky because there wasn't any solid evidence found against them despite Joshua being the witness. If Zayan wanted he could have shown the fading scars on his body but he wanted to avenge them on his own. Being the major owner of his father's property the first thing he did was kicking Layla and Ricky out of that house. 

He wanted to make them suffer and that was the first step, he wasn't powerful at all but he wasn't scared either, eight gruesome year's in that basement made him emotionless and ready to tear them apart. Although they didn't back away, they had to leave the scene because of police and legalities before threatening him that this wasn't over.

After completing college, at the age of eighteen, he started working in his father's company which was on the verge of bankruptcy, drowning in losses. He fired many of the employees and hired hardworking and loyal people and now he stood as the king of business. 

It was difficult as he also completed his education along the way. Though this company was his inheritance, he revived it on his own and brought it to much success, spreading it all over the world. But along the way, he had to take the help of several leaders, especially at the start to destroy his fathers rival and that bastard who used him as a punching bag for years Ricky and he did. Making him go bankrupt and send him behind the bars not before fracturing half of the bones in his body. Thanks to the training he received from the mafia people and in return, he helped them in some illegal transport of drugs. 

It may seem wrong but he did what it takes to survive. He got to the top through hard work but along the way, it was treacherous so he had to adapt.

He never harmed a human being for money because he had enough money to buy a fucking country and that's was the reason he never accepted black money from the mafia, they helped him and he repaid the favour. He doesn't like getting involved in their business, he doesn't kill at all, he torments those who lie, disrespect and betray him, tries to get in his way but it was also true that people asked him to kill him rather than torture him with his bloody tricks. Even the mafia leaders respect him because of his money and power, which thrived more than them. Everyone knows that what Zayan Orsini craves is power and respect, over the years he has made himself strong, ruthless and fearless, completely opposite of his father. He admires his father and that name still brings an ache to his heart but he refuses to be played like him. There is no place for love and weakness in this world, no one is sincere to you and never trust someone blindly. The only person he cares about is his brother and no one else. 

He doesn't regret anything he did, his name is enough to bring fear in peoples minds who even had a glimpse of what he is, the only thing which nags him is that bitch of a woman who gave birth to him and the sole reason for his father to be snatched away from him. She still had a 10 per cent share in this company and although most of the time she stayed away from his radar after witnessing his boyfriend nearly beaten and bruised to death but still she was roaming around freely and he couldn't do anything about it yet….

PLOT OUTLINE:

The story is about a man named Zayan Orsini who is a billionaire and hard working person but just his mere name is enough to bring chills down a person's spine who knows about him. To everyone, he is a person with a dark personality who doesn't show mercy to those who disrespect him and his family that includes only his younger brother. But unknown to everyone there is a fire in his heart, sorrow that empierces his heart like a spear, the sorrow of losing his father because of a woman that gave birth to him. Being a victim of cruelty and betrayed by his loved ones, he becomes a person who stems hatred in his heart for every woman in the world, only using them for his animalistic desires and then tossing them aside. The only thing he loves other than his empire and power is his brother Zayem.

During his visit to Norway for a dealing or argument with his arch-rival, he meets Amyla who happens to save him from falling off the cliff. Despite being enchanted by her humanity and good behaviour he humiliates her and leaves from there only to have her in his every thought and dream. After a lot of trying to get his mind off her, he goes back to Oslo barging into her hostel dorm asking her to spend a night with her thinking that it might be sex he was craving from her. Infuriated and like any woman having self-respect, she refused him with a slap not knowing that she invited bad luck. From there it leads to a certain turn of events with Zayan forcefully marrying her, Reil dying in the process and Amyla suffering from depression. Eventually, he brings her to Spain the feeling he thought died in him resurfaces as he begins to love her but his over dominating personality and unhealthy obsession causes them to lose their first child resulting in Amy becoming a living corpse.

After much drama and pain, he frees her. Numb to every emotion she goes back to complete her education but on the other hand unable to cope with her separation Zayan commits suicide by deliberately letting his car fall off the road on a hill though he gets saved by Zayem he attains serious injuries burning 40 per cent of his body. Zayem, unable to see his only family dying like that, begs Amyla to come back.

She returns with a heavy heart only to have him gain his health back but gets dumbstruck seeing a fragile and childish Zayan who always wants her near. During the time he heals, Amyla sees a side of Zayan she never did before. He became soft, enduring, patient and understanding.

He signs off all his wealth and property in Amyla's name asking her to go explore the world and love whomever she wants, even taking her back to her hometown. Infuriated by her feelings, Amyla asks him to leave him alone only to regret it when Zayem tells her that after transferring everything to her name and bringing her back Zayan was going to shoot himself on the same cliff where they first met, freeing her forever.

Thunderstruck by it, she rushes to that place saving him, at last, revealing that no matter how toxic and crazy this sounded she wanted to love him this time and make their relationship work this time. Because no one beside him would willingly sacrifice their ego, self-esteem and power just to make her happy.

The end is followed by Amyla and Zayan happily together with their three children and a fourth one on the way.

The thing which makes this story attractive is the characters and how one moment the story is emotional and the next is the new suspense.

I have a rough idea of having the story to at least 120 plus chapters with each chapter having a word count of 1.6k to 2k which will make a total of 200k words.
