I was wearing a second layer of a jacket and was prepared for going into the cold at 12 a.m. I was sitting next to Zayn on the couch and we all were watching a rom-com. I may have been looking at the screen of the flat-screen TV, but I was not actually watching the movie.I was more focused on what we were going to be doing by 12 a.m., Zayn and I. I kept glancing at the clock hanging on the wall every minute. It was only ten p.m. now. Ashton and Liam bought the car. It was a little over the price but they paid for it anyway. We needed it and did not have much of a choice, even if that meant that we were cheated. The brand new sportscar was now parked next door, in the garage. We tried our best to make the car look not as new as it actually was. If it appeared too new, it would raise suspicions during the inspection.A knock sounded at the door and I was startled. The sound came again and I glanced at the clock once more before standing to my feet. “I will get it.” I walked out of th
The road had an eerie feel. Trees were on both sides and the snow falling made it look more creepy. Zayn drove us a bit deeper and soon came to a stop. He parked off the road and unlocked the car. He sighed and looked at me. “Are you alright? You look spooked.” I smiled faintly. “It’s just that this place got chills running down my spine.” He chuckled lowly and opened his side of the door. “Don’t let Zoe get to your head. There are no such things as ghosts so this road can’t possibly be haunted.” He got out of the car. I opened my side of the car and stepped out. “You’re a demon. You didn’t grow up in Beacon so I understand your lack of belief or fear.” I brushed some strands of my hair behind my ears. “So many people have gone missing here. You don’t even know half of it.” Zayn got the things out from the back of the car. It was a medium-sized red gallon, some gloves, and a lighter. “So you’re seriously trying to tell me that the Moon goddess snatches anyone that comes here?
It was the next morning and I was cuddled up with Zayn under the comfortable duvet as we lay on the king-sized bed. Birds were chirping and the air was warm. My eyes fluttered open and the first thing that hit me was the rays of the sun. They were beautiful. I carefully snuggled my way out of my husband’s arms and sat up on the bed. I yawned and ran my hand through my hair. Looking out the window, I could see that today was a sunny day. The skies were clear and the brilliance of the sun was evident. A small smile lingered on my lips when I thought about last night. After I had driven Zayn crazy to an orgasm, I was ready to shower but he was not. He said that it was not only about his pleasure but mine too. What he did to me afterward had me moaning so loud that maybe everyone in the house had heard me. I dragged my body from the bed and did a few stretches. I then headed for the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and took a cold shower before walking out with a heated towel wrapped ar
My face was pale and my throat was dry. I could feel the rapid beating of my heart and nervousness ate me up. Zayn and I were heading to the mansion next door, which was Liam’s house. I could hear sirens and the day was not as cold as yesterday. The sun was up and emitted warmth. When we reached the house, a few officers stopped us at the gate. Both of them had hard looks on their faces. “I’m sorry but no one is allowed to enter. There is an ongoing investigation and officers are at work inside the compound.”“Take a good look at us,” Zayn said in a monotone. His face was straight and he looked bored. The officers shared a look after realizing who we were and then allowed us to enter the compound. Zayn held my hand as a way to keep me calm and I couldn't be more grateful. We walked until we reached where all the action was: the backyard. There were a few police officers, detective Stone, some police dogs, Alex, and Liam. The yellow sportscar that we bought yesterday was out on dis
Getting caught. Getting caught can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. But I knew that there were a few things that we could do to ease the situation. Or at least me. First, we had to stay calm and composed. Alex was only assuming based on his suspicions, he did not know sh*t. There was still a way to turn this around. I knew we had to focus on the facts and not let our emotions take over. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t think any of us do. Are you saying that that’s not the car you and your wife got Liam?” I asked calmly. Alex scoffed. “Oh, don’t do that.” He shook his head. “You should be the last person doing that to me, Lara.”“Doing what?” I kept my eyes on him and kept my composure also. “That! Don’t treat me like I’m stupid or like I’m some kid!” He snapped, and everyone was taken aback. “I marked Liam’s car, and I am telling you, the one sitting out there is not his. Why would he get a new car identical to his previous one and pretend like it’s t
The dress that I was wearing was a topless formal one. The expensive material clung to my breasts and fell a small distance from my shoulders, revealing my collarbone and shoulders. It was a nude color and was custom-made. It had a split at the right side and advertised a portion of my smooth thigh. It was a reasonably sexy dress. And this was my first time wearing it. The heels that I paired the dress with were comfortable and highlighted me. It was tall and thin. It lengthen my legs and flattered my figure. I wore simple earrings and a lovely necklace that Zayn gifted me a while ago. My necklace provided a single focal point, giving the entire outfit a streamlined look. “Oh my god,” Bunny gasped when she walked into the room. She was taken aback and showed how impressed she was by her facial expression. “You look amazing, Lar! What the hell?”“Lar?” I laughed lightly. “Is that a nickname I hear?” “Don’t stone me, I’m trying it out.” She chuckled and then closed the distance bet
Liam was right. I knew he was but I was not ready to accept it. He told me that I had a hero mentality; that I wanted to save anyone and everyone, even if that meant letting myself drown. And that was true. So true that accepting it felt like being hit by a ton of bricks. Saving everyone fed a part of me that made me feel like my life was worth something. It made me feel like I was actually contributing to the lives of the people around me, and not just taking them away. It made me feel alive. After going through a life of torture by being bullied, and then getting rejected so publicly, I was devastated. But then I got saved by someone that I initially thought was evil: the demon king. Zayn was the one who nursed my soul. He gave me hope, courage, confidence, and a life that I had always dreamed of. He was literally my knight in shining armor. And since then, everything just came easy to me. I became the future queen of the demon territory, then I was a public figure, and all th
After explaining and coming clean to the detective, I felt much lighter. It felt strangely good to be telling the truth, and not just half of it, but the whole thing. “That’s all?” She asked as she lifted her attention from what she just wrote in her notepad. I nodded, and then mumbled, “Yea, I guess so.”“I don’t want any guessing. Is that everything? I want the whole truth.” “Yes. Yes, that is everything.” I pressed my lips into a line. I was still very nervous but as I said, I felt lighter. I was not choked by my nerves anymore, I just had a pinch of them clinging to me. “What is going to happen to me?”She smiled lopsidedly and placed the notepad down. “All this would have been dissolved and dealt with without any serious repercussions if you and the kid would have come forward the moment it all happened.”“Didn’t you hear me? We were scared.” “Yeah, but the thing that you two were scared of has now happened. You two just got caught and might be on your way to prison. The kid
