PRISCILLAI could feel Deluca's eyes on me as I walked into his office. I felt instantly uncomfortable with the way he was looking at me. So I turned to leave but then, he stopped me."An hello would do." He said with a shrug."You're not one with the familiarities, so why would you want one now?" He looked away from my gaze, sighing. He knew I was right, and for so many reasons I knew what I said. Just as he showed a different version of himself, being a dark lord I couldn't decipher. Now, he was acting weird in a romantic way.I don't know what he was trying to portray, or was it because of what happened last night? I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy it though, but that's just not enough to get my feelings high."About last night..." I wasn't expecting him to talk about that. "Deluca, please, not now.""Why not now?" I could see how desperate he was to have the event talked about, but I wasn't in the mood. "I don't know. I just... I just don't feel like we should talk about it. I mean
JESSICAI was feeling heavy inside of me for no reason. I don't remember being overwhelmed, or having something in mind aside from Priscilla's case which wasn't something to burden me this much."What's wrong with me?" I mentally asked myself as I settled by the edge of the bed. I stopped paying attention to what Blake was saying, I was more focused to understand my situation.He noticed I wasn't saying anything, he stopped talking, now staring at me. "Is everything alright?"I looked at him, feigning a smile. "Yeah, just recalled something. But it's fine now. It's something I can settle tomorrow. So, where were we?"He continued from where he stopped, not suspecting anything. This was the first time I was able to successfully convince Blake without him suspecting me.It was time to sleep, I felt the same force I had felt the night I first saw Priscilla in my dream. Waking up, I saw myself in a dark empty room. "Hello?" I called but all I could get was my voice bouncing back at me."H
JESSICAI tried so hard to mask my emotions, but Vanessa always had her ways of getting things out of me. "You've been quiet since morning, is everything alright?" She asked and Blake looked up at me from his computer.Mind you, I wasn't quiet. I mean, there's no one talking, so she didn't expect I should keep an already finished conversation going, did she?"I'm not quiet, no one is talking." "Your face tells me something is bothering you." I could feel Blake's eyes on me before he said."Have you been having weird dreams?" I looked at him, shaking my head. "No."He nodded, returning his gaze to his computer but Vanessa wouldn't want to give up. "It's about Priscilla, isn't it?""Girl, are you reading my mind?" I almost burst into flames. I hated how she was so keen to know my problem. I understand she was only being concerned about me, but she was going too far with it.Again, Blake looked up, but this time he was staring at both Vanessa and I. "Is everything alright?""Yes." Vane
PRISCILLAIt was a hot morning. I couldn't believe the sun would shine this bright at such an hour of the day. I learned Antonio was paying Deluca a visit, I knew my anger would get a better hold of me so I decided to remain in my room for the rest of the day.I went to my wardrobe to search for something to wear. Or maybe, I can just take a drive outside to one of the eateries, rather than sharing the same air with an enemy. That was a perfect idea, and I was going to stick with it.I laid my clothes on the bed, and that was when Ivy, my maid, was showing up. Always late when needed. "Ma'am, your meal is ready." She walked in with my breakfast."Just drop it on the table." I said,She did so. "Anything else I can do for you?" She asked."No. I have everything done already." I walked into the bathroom. I just don't know how to get her changed to someone better. I have tried everything and yet she still seems dull to my liking.I heard the sound of the door closing, I let out a sigh b
PRISCILLAWhat?!I mentally screamed and before I could know it, he had grabbed my lips into his. I felt my adrenaline rise in want, and I couldn't hold back the desire to kiss him back. As much as I wanted to fight him off, I found myself succumbing to his temptation.His hand moved to the back of my neck, pulling my face closer. While his other hand held my waist, causing our body to meet, my chest resting against his. And for some reason, I wished I wasn't this bursty.This man was all charming, and no matter how hard I tried to resist him, I just couldn't. I felt weak in his arms, and the way he touched me was way too strong than my resistance. And I can't do anything but give up trying."You know," He muttered between the kisses. "I love it when you fill your thoughts about me." I knew well, he was aware I was thinking so much about him. But him asking me minutes ago was like he was playing the innocent man who doesn't read everyone's mind."So, I'm gonna make every thought you t
JESSICAI felt strange, this time it was a different feeling. I could tell Priscilla was happy, and in a good mood. I wouldn't say I didn't like it but... the happiness felt kinda strange."What's wrong?" Blake asked."I need to dream.""What?" Aria looked at me like I had gone crazy."Yes, I need to dream. I need to see Priscilla right now.""But it's still morning." She said, "I mean, you can't see her except if you both are sleeping, right?""Shit." I cursed under my breath. That was the fucking truth. If I need to speak to Priscilla, we both have to be asleep."Do you feel like she's in trouble or something?" Blake asked and I looked at him. How am I to answer him when I can't even tell my actual feelings right now."No. I can only feel her excitement right now." He raised an eyebrow like he wasn't expecting that answer from me."You should be happy." He added."Yes, I should. But this happiness comes with something different and I need to figure out what it is."I never knew how
PRISCILLAIt was a week before Deluca finally came to a conclusion on the day to attack. Though it wasn't fixed yet, it was something he assumed to be. I was more than excited that I wouldn't have to wait any longer than I have. I didn’t see the need to attend Deluca’s meeting with his friends. We had already gone over every detail of the plan. Besides, the thought of sitting through hours of more discussion felt like a waste of time. So, I stayed back in my room, but as the night dragged on, I couldn’t deny how restless I was becoming. How long were they going to talk? It's been since morning, weren't they tired already? I can't even imagine myself sitting for hours, not to talk about talking for more than five hours over a particular conversation.I paced for a bit, trying to distract myself, but eventually ended up lying on my bed, waiting for Deluca to return. I kept glancing at the door, hoping to hear his footsteps. But he never came, and the heaviness of the day slowly lulle
JESSICAI felt my heart sink after hearing what the spy had said. Antonio had made it so obvious after speaking to someone over the phone, his laughter filled the air so it was loud enough for the spy to have eavesdropped on him.It hurt me that it was at this point Priscilla was being silly and stubborn. I don't know what her master had done to her, but whatever it is, I wouldn't let her have her way. I don't care if it would cost my own life, I wouldn't sit and watch her hurt my man.I welcomed nature with the purpose of meeting Priscilla at least for the last time. I knew I was disobeying Blake's order not to meet her again since she had made up her mind. Somehow, I believe there could be a chance for hope.The dream was so vivid, so real that when I saw her, standing there in the distance, my stomach dropped. "Priscilla." That name tasted like poison on my tongue. She didn’t look surprised when I called her out, anger burning in my chest as I stormed toward her. "Priscilla!" I sh
