Chapter: Fiance? (Sinister’s POV)Sinister’s POV I should hate this girl. She's nothing but problems. And yet, I find it most difficult to stare away right now. Her dark hair tousled down her back and over her shoulder as she leaned against the leather interior of the limo. She pressed her head gently against it as her eyes grew wary and distant. She'd been peeling the dead skin off her fingertips subconsciously since we got in here. Were the heels really that high? I shouldn't have asked the lady for the best pair. I should have just gone with the most comfortable pair. It was my fault. But how was I to know she couldn't walk in them? How was I to know anything about her? The navy gown clung to her body effortlessly. If anything, she could easily get mistaken for an angel fallen upon the earth. God. I pushed the thought away. What the actual fuck was I saying? She was a fallen angel sure, one just like Lucifer at least. Fallen upon me to frustrate the living daylight out of me. Her face glowed under the moonligh

Chapter: “The beginning of our end…”~^~ "Me being with you would have been dangerous, Becky. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you because of my selfish decision." “James knew, didn't he? You were with him that day when you went after Vincelli." I strained my voice to even speak. With a pause, “Yes, but I couldn't get you involved anymore. Grey, you have this life ahead of you. It's a great life, why are you looking back?" “Because you're there." “Becky," he breathed, stunned at that, his eyes softening. “You have my heart. You’ll always do. I'm perplexed as to what you see in a monster like me but maybe that's why I'm so drawn to you. You see me as virtuously human and I feel otherwise and somehow or the other you see me as worthy and I could never understand your kindness. I love you, fuck, you make me so weak." Slipping my hand into his, I closed the space between us, pressing my body against his and my head against his chest. His heartbeat was fast and steady as he wrapped his free ha

Chapter: “Don’t leave me. Please…”~^~ "He was one of my closest friends. Shall I have this dance? For him?" James asks as he puts out his hand. Pleasantly, I danced with him and it almost felt as if he was trying to sober me back up before someone else asked for a dance. Dance after dance and my feet were getting sore. Many of Archer's friends seemed to somehow have 'taken a liking to me' as Archer said in a somewhat cautious manner when he pulled me aside but I assured him that they weren't my type. God even knows what my type was. Walking back to the bar, I had another drink, and because I was a "lady" and most importantly, Archer's long-lost little sister, I had to upkeep a decent reputation- wine- no beer for me. Also, I couldn't kick that one guy violently to smash his banana when he tried to slide his hand down the equator. “I’m not sure if you're trying to get drunk or sober:" A man said to me from the side. “Is both an option?" "Only if you're trying to kill yourself." He started with a soft short

Chapter: Even after the odds.*~*The weight of the world seemed to be crashing down upon me or rather tugging mercilessly at the strings that sewed together the broken pieces of my heart. The entire flight I kept to myself and the weeks that came as well.Everything felt painful and it wasn't even that time of the month. “Do you know, when it was your birthday while you were in the coma, he spent every single second of the day with you? He didn't even give a shit about work. Whatever that day was, he canceled all plans and stayed at your bedside for every second. He was in so much pain seeing you like that, Becky. I almost envied that- that brotherly affection. It was beyond me."Snapping back to her attention as I heard that I held back a tear from escaping, she was right. I was being so selfish right now. I'm grieving but it feels like I'm hurting everyone around me.“I’m sorry," I said softly trying to recollect myself and my thoughts. "Let's do something for him. He deserves it."There was a certain light to

Chapter: “For the betterment…”~^~“Jesus." I heard him say softly.“Well, I mean it's Becky, but I guess I can work with Jesus if you want."Not a moment passed by when I felt strong arms embrace me."I thought you were.” He choked within his sentence filled with joy and sadness and a somewhat bitter longing. “But. you're here, you're okay."Returning his hug, I felt so many emotions swarm within my soul, I missed you, James. I was looking for you. You said you'd come back two years ago and-""I did Becky, believe me, I did. My heart broke when I saw you in the hospital in that state I just didn't know what to do. I felt like I failed you, I disappointed you and Mare. I didn't get to you in time.""James," I said faintly, "Marc-""I know, but I keep telling myself that he's in a better place."In that second the back door near us bolted open and an awestruck Moe stood with his face paled as he saw James who released me slowly and faced him with kind eyes, "Jamie?"My voice dripping with agony brought his attention

Chapter: Tying up loose ends.~^~As the sun gave birth to the sky, I quickly packed my luggage and left the apartıment leaving a 'Be Back Soon' note to Nadia on the refrigerator. So help me God, let me know what I'm doing. Somehow it just felt right to go there.Walking into the airport, I went to my flight and sat at my specified seat. Taking a deep breath, shut my eyes ready for the flight to take off when I heard a familiar voice. “You forgot this."Looking up I saw Nadia arching her eyebrows while taking the seat next to me, giving me my phone."What are you doing here?" I frowned, shocked at her presence. Nadia inhaled deeply and tiredly made herself comfortable in the seat, "I honestly don't know why but somehow this trip seems to be important to you. Also, your company kind of grew on me."Smugly I smiled, “Aww, you mean you'd miss me."She rolled her eyes and asked, "So where exactly are we going'?"“I have no idea.""Becky, you can't be serious!" She exclaimed as we walked into the airport, "You didn't

Chapter: Weird happenings.CAMILA_^_I stood frozen in my room, my bare feet were rooted to the hardwood, my breath was hitching as Katherine’s laugh faded into the fog outside. King’s voice—low, lethal, *“Get behind me”*—was still ringing in my ears, but I couldn’t move, my silver bracelet was clinking faintly as my hands trembled. Someone had been here. In my space. And that laugh—high, wild, hers—had turned my blood to ice.“Camila,” King snapped, his hand was grabbing my wrist, pulling me back from the window. His hazel eyes were blazing, his jaw was clenched tight beneath the stubble, and his heat was seeping into me, grounding me even as my mind spun. “I said get behind me.”I yanked free, my voice was shaking but sharp. “Don’t touch me! What the hell’s going on, King? That was Katherine and someone was in my room. You’re not telling me anything, and I’m done with it!”He stepped closer, his boots were crunching over the glass, his broad shoulders were blocking the window’s light. “I don’t know yet,” he

Chapter: Someone’s watching us.CAMILA.^.The front door slammed shut behind us and the sound echoed through the room. King’s grip on my arm became firm, almost bruising me, as he pulled me back inside, his hazel eyes scanning the shadows beyond the windows. The cold air was clinging to my skin, raising goosebumps, but it was his words, “Someone’s watching us”, that sent a shiver straight to my core. My heart pounded and I yanked my arm free, spinning to face him.“Who?” I demanded, my voice sharper than I meant it to be. “Who’s out there, King? And don’t tell me you don’t know—this is your house, your rules, your mess.”He turned, his jaw clenched tight, a muscle ticking beneath the stubble on his face. The chandelier overhead cast jagged shadows across his features, making him look more like a predator than a man—dangerous, unyielding, and far too calm for the panic clawing at my chest. Claire hovered near the dining room, her hands were twisting in her apron with wide eyes darting between us like she wanted t

Chapter: A tensed feeling.CAMILA…Early the next morning, I slid downstairs and moved toward the kitchen. The kitchen was empty, the cookie box still on the counter where I’d left it. I grabbed a glass from the cabinet, filled it with water, and downed it in one go, the cold biting my throat. My hands trembled as I set it down, the unease from the breathing outside my door crawling back up my spine. I needed answers, and King was going to give them to me, whether he liked it or not.Claire had said he’d been in his studio since dawn, so I headed upstairs, my sneakers silent on the hardwood. The hallway smelled faintly of paint, a sharp tang that stung my nose, and the studio door stood ajar, soft light spilling out. I paused, my hand hovering over the frame, doubt gnawing at me. What if he shut me down again, like at dinner? What if Katherine was right, and I was just another disposable piece in his game? I shoved the thoughts aside and stepped inside, my voice cutting through the silence.“King, we need t

Chapter: Cookie thief.CAMILA…I froze, my hand still clutching the box of cookies like some guilty child caught red handed. The fridge door hung open, spilling cold light across the kitchen floor, and my heart slammed against my ribcage. Slowly, I turned my head, praying it wasn’t King—or worse, that creepy Leonard guy who’d already made my skin crawl earlier.It was her. The girl with the sharp purple hair and the attitude to match. Katherine. She leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, chewing that damn gum so loud it echoed in the silence. Her skimpy outfit looked even more ridiculous in the dim light—a shinny crop top and shorts that barely qualified as clothing. She smirked, her eyes glinting with something I couldn’t quite place. Amusement? Malice? Both?“Stealing already, huh?” she said, popping a bubble with her gum. “You’ve barely been here a day, and you’re already sneaking around like a rat.”I swallowed hard, forcing my voice to stay steady. “I’m not stealing. I just… couldn’t sleep. Though

Chapter: Dinners and strangers.CAMILA*^*"I'd like to make a point..." I started, few mintues after sitting for dinner. After freshening up and sorting myself out, I came down for dinner. sitting opposite King who still haven't spared me an ounce of attention."Mr. king, I have a few things to lay off about this contract." I said again, this time grabbing his attention as he paused halfway into sticking a piece of beef into his mouth.King raised his head to speak for this first time tonight. "I never thought of you as the type to not acknowledge table manners, Miss Frost." He finished and resumed eating.I rolled my eyes innerly. "Thank you for whatever that means, I just want to clear some thick air here concerning the contract-""If you're so eager to begin working, I assure you I wouldn't mind. But I've had a tiring day, and I need rest." He paused, bringing his gaze into mine. "You need rest too, you have alot to do tomorrow, Camila."I frowned, he wasn't helping at all. I needed to know what and how the con

Chapter: Inside The Mansion.CAMILA ^*^ A hand shot out to grab my upper arm from the right side, and I gasped, as a cold metal suddenly touched my neck. I gulped, and my eyes shot, shaking, towards the bodyguard with the tattoo-deck neck. His dark eyes were fixed on me with pure murder, "Who are you?" I parted my lips, furrowing my eyebrows slightly, "Huh?" I didn't know how to identify myself. A cold, smooth, and absolute voice shot some feet before me. "She's with me, Pietro." King's order echoed calmly, "Let her in," The bodyguard called -apparently- Pietro, directly let go of me and nodded respectfully, yet still with a rude look. "Aye, get in." Hey, who stuffed your ass with a hum bag earlier dude? I turned and stepped behind my new employer, who had already marched through the corridor leading towards the entry of his… ehem… mansion. Feeling my presence behind him, his majesty spared me a look. Fast, indifferent, and with a lack of interest. "Coming?" He murmured, archi
