Vulnerable Intimacy (HBC)
PROLOGUE
Family is a place where life begins...
.......At least for the people in this world...!!
But for me it is more like a cage....
....a cage which is full of love, care, support and everything a person needs except freedom...!!
Freedom.? What is Freedom.?
For some freedom can be taking decisions on their own...
...for some it can be doing what they want...
...for some it can be loving the person they want..
...But for me the word 'Freedom' don't exist....!!
From the clothes I wear to the food I eat....
...from the major I studied to the place where I go...
Everything is scheduled...
....Being a aristocratic is not easy as it seems...!!
Sometimes excessive of care and love can be toxic....
...this is the course of my life...!!
...I wanted to be free from the care and love which is becoming toxic for me...
Leaving everything behind...
Reaching the country in which I spent my childhood in....
..I found myself in the dire need of money and job to continue to live on...
...For a person who had everything she wants, it was hard...
...But that was where my happiness is in...
...I wanted to be free and independent like I am now...
....I found myself free to do anything...
...The first thing I did after reaching here was to apply for a job...
A Job for the position of manager for a boy band which was said to be popular internationally....
...But I never heard of it...
...How can I even, when even my personal activities were pre-planned....
...I got selected and started working....
...Struggling to be a good manager and earn myself a living....
I found myself in the chaos when the weird entanglement of the youngest member of the boy band with my childhood started to unfold...
...The weird feeling grewing between us...
...The vulnerable need for each other...
...The Intimacy which was never wanted....
which can probably named as....
...The Vulnerable Intimacy...!!

{EPISODE NUMBER 1 - 'The Chaotic Escape'}
▪︎COUNTRY - France
▪︎CITY - Paris
▪︎TIME - 11 PM
▪︎LOCATION - Rodriguez's Family Mansion
▪︎EXACT LOCATION - Madeline Rodriguez's Room
Madeline Rodriguez, the one and only daughter of the famous Rodriguez Family, she is a girl with a amazing face-cut and and a larger-than-average forehead which never fails to give an impressive look of high intellect.
With a greatly forged body and proper ethics she can be the dream girl of many men in this world, but everything comes with it's inadequate course,
Her impressive eyes were reflecting the hollowness in her life, even though she is rich, even though she have the power in her hands, she is tied with the reputation of her family.
Not being able to live a life like a normal person, she was trained to be the "good" daughter of the Rodriguez's Family.
Even though she was flawless as the daughter of Rodriguez Family but as a normal woman she was flawed, being incompetent to do what she wants it made her fell like she is trapped in a cage which is her own family.
Her arduous attempts to be a perfect girl gradually made her feel to escape.
After being in the rules and regulations of the family for her whole life she finally decided to run, to run for her freedom and become independent.
She was all planned to leave, to leave her family behind and do what she wants to.
With a not so perfect escape plan she tip-toed outside her room in her sneakers and a perfect pair of clothes fitted to run.
Avoiding the guards she made it outside the house, reaching the garden.
While trying to get out the main entrance, she bumped into someone, someone whom she didn't wanted to meet even at the cost of her life in this situation.
Madeline Rodriguez
Uncle Blaise.?
Fear rushed of getting caught rushed down her veins..!
The man infront of her slightly sighed..!!
Blaise Laurent
Young Miss, I know this was going to happen, if not you I must've made you run from here.
Madeline was shocked to hear and wasn't able to believe her own ears at that moment.
Blaise Laurent
Today your mother, father and brother isn't home, this is your chance to get away and become independent.
Blaise Laurent
I have prepared everything for you, your language, your airplane to USA, everything, just follow what I planned on!
Blaise made a questioning look on his face demanding to know what she want to ask.
Madeline Rodriguez
Why are you helping me.?
Blaise Laurent
because I know their way of protecting you is making you unable to live a happy life.
Blaise Laurent
I'll be helping you for the first and last time.
Madeline Rodriguez
Thanks uncle!
Blaise Laurent
It's okay as long as you are happy!
In the darkness of night, they both were standing in the middle of the garden when the screaming of the servants can be heard.
They were shouting out loud "Young Miss", "Young miss", the guards were on alert.
Blaise Laurent
Run Young Miss, Run, I'll distract the guards..!!
Blaise Laurent
Just remember, at the international Airport, in the generator box of first storage room, your passport and other necessary things are!
Blaise Laurent
flight is at 3 A.M, here is some money for taxi and rest of the money is in the bag with your passport..!!
Blaise Laurent
Don't get caught and reach USA safely!
Blaise Laurent
Throw your current phone away here and take this phone with you, from this you can contact me after reaching USA!!
Throwing a phone towards Madeline, he pushed her towards the entrance.
She caught the phone, threw her current phone away and stared running.
Blaise miss directed the guards and Madeline successfully escaped.
Following each and every step he said, she successfully boarded the airplane to USA.!!
After a flight of 8 hour 45 minutes, she reached Washington D.C
Getting off the plane she was in hurry to walk carrying a suitcase and a small handbag in her hands, a person bumped into her.
Her luggage was fallen down, hopefully the was zipped tightly, she quickly settled herself and her luggage and bowed infront of the person who was standing infront of her.
Madeline Rodriguez
Sorry! Sorry!
Elijah Perez
It's okay miss..It was my mistake to begin with!
Madeline was in hurry, she didn't even bothered to look at his face and started walking away in hurry.
Elijah Perez
(She looks somehow familiar.!!)
Her face was giving Elijah a set of mixed emotions which was causing him to remember a set of past series.
Elijah Perez
Excuse me miss!!
He tried to follow her but unfortunately a group of girls identified him even when he was wearing maks and sunglasses!
"Elijah", "It's Elijah" a group of girls started running towards his Idol, just to get a glimpse of him.
He one last time glanced at her gradually disappearing figure and run to save himself for being caught by his Fanatics.

EPISODE NUMBER 2
{EPISODE NUMBER 2 - 'The New Start'}
Standing outside the airport, she took her mobile phone out and switched it on..!
The only contact on the mobile was of Blaise Laurent.
She dialed his number and the call was picked up instantly.
Madeline Rodriguez
📞Uncle Blaise,I reached Washington.
Blaise Laurent
📞Good..Now listen what I am going to say carefully.
Madeline Rodriguez
📞Okay Uncle.
Blaise Laurent
📞You have around 10,000 bucks with you in your handbag right now.
Blaise Laurent
📞Buy a seperate mobile phone and a sim card from their, use that mobile phone their.
Blaise Laurent
📞Keep this mobile phone with you too, but don't use it unless you want to call me and don't call me unless you are in trouble!
Madeline Rodriguez
📞Okay Uncle..!
Blaise Laurent
📞Find yourself a rental house and a decent job, rest is on what you want to do!
Madeline Rodriguez
📞huh!?..okay!
It was weird for her to listen someone saying "rest is on what you want to do", till now in her entire life she always followed the pre-scheduled plans without any delay no matter what the condition is!
This life was a whole new start and a totally different start for her.
Blaise hunged up the call and Madeline switched the phone off..!
Madeline hailed for a taxi being all awkward, and why not the girl who never stepped outside her luxurious cars, it was a totally new feeling for her.
She asked the driver to drop her at the nearest electronics shop.
Soon after the driver pulled over she got out the car and payed the ride fare.!!
She got inside the shop and headed towards the receptionist.
Madeline Rodriguez
Excuse me Miss!
Receptionist
Yes mam...How may I help you.?
Madeline Rodriguez
I would like to purchase a smartphone!
Even though she was basically from U.S.A, living in France made her accent like a French, her fluent English with a little bit of French accent was making her melodious voice heart whelming.
Receptionist
Yes sure, this way mam!
Following the receptionist, she reached the smartphone counter and selected a mobile phone.
Madeline Rodriguez
Do you sell sim-cards too.?
Paying for both mobile phone and sim-card she headed outside.
She got seated on the nearby bench in a park near the shop.
She unboxed her mobile phone and started setting the phone up step by step starting from inserting the sim-card..!!
After half an hour of work on the phone, her phone was finally accessible.
Feeling sore from the flight all over her body, she relaxed her muscles up by leaning against the bench and sighed.
Madeline Rodriguez
It's troublesome like this,
Madeline Rodriguez
But it's better then the Rodriguez house.
Madeline Rodriguez
Why am I even thinking about that.?
Madeline Rodriguez
Let's find myself a house first.
Surfing online for 2 hours, she finally found a house suitable for her budget and gave a call to the landlady.
Getting the accurate landmarks from the landlady she setted off to her new 'house'.
Taking a taxi, she reached the apartment in an hour.
Their she saw a old lady standing waiting for someone, she approached her and asked her...
Madeline Rodriguez

Mrs. Evelina Brown

Mrs. Evelina Brown

She smiled brightly at Evelina
Mrs. Evelina Brown

Mrs. Evelina Brown
Aish..Stop flattering this old hag!
Madeline Rodriguez

Evelina and Madeline both busted out in laughter
Mrs. Evelina Brown
Let's head in!
Stepping inside the apartment, a neat and clean lobby with perfectly fitting decorating was blessing Madeline's eyes.
Evelina and Madeline walked towards the elevator and Evelina pushed the button to the topmost floor, the 10th floor
Mrs. Evelina Brown
I own two studio apartments here.
Mrs. Evelina Brown
One is which I am renting you and another is next to it in which I am living.
Mrs. Evelina Brown
Their are only 2 studio apartments which are taken right now and they are in which we both are..rest the whole floor is vacant.
Madeline Rodriguez

The elevator stopped and they both headed towards the studio apartment which Madeline is renting out, after taking a look at the apartment Evelina asked Madeline..!
Mrs. Evelina Brown
Do you like it.?
Madeline Rodriguez
Yes It's beautiful!!
Madeline Rodriguez
(Why is she renting out this house only for 2,500 bucks.?)
Madeline Rodriguez
(According to my calculations and the local rate and the scenery and atmosphere here,this apartment should at least be for 3,000 bucks or more!)
Mrs. Evelina Brown
What are you thinking.?
Mrs. Evelina Brown
That why I am renting it out for less then the suitable price.?
Madeline Rodriguez

Evelina letted out a chuckle and said
Mrs. Evelina Brown

Mrs. Evelina Brown

Mrs. Evelina Brown

Madeline body was aching badly now because of all the tiredness of the flight
she threw herself on the bed and drifted away in sleep..!!
It was 11 AM in morning when she slept but it was already 3 in afternoon when she woke up!
