It takes me several seconds to process his words.“Wh- Why? Why is he not in jail? We need to go to the police!” I realize he’s never actually mentioned his mother before. I didn’t even think to ask about her.
“No! We cannot go to the police!” he yells at me, panic lacing his tone.
“Why not?! You witnessed him murder someone!”
“Because, Violet, it’s a lot more complicated than that! You don’t understand.”
“Then help me understand. Because from where I’m sitting, it looks an awful lot like you’re helping your father cover up his murders,” I say to him and instantly regret my words.
“Don’t you dare accuse me of helping that man,” he says. His voice is so cold, a shiver runs down my spine.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that. I-”
“I know. You’re confused, and tha

Between Love and Hate You Already Have Me
*Kane's POV*We sit there foreheads pressed together, just holding each other for I don’t even know how long. I can’t even believe she’s still sitting here, let alone that she told me she loves me. It seems so impossible. But at the same time, for the first time in my life, I feel like maybe I might have a shot at climbing out of the miserable hell hole that is my life.She pulls back and says, “So where do we go from here?”“I have no clue.”“Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure I could plan a meal at this point so I say we start with a strong drink right now and then actually start coming up with ideas tomorrow.”“I like this plan already,” I tell her and place a quick kiss on her lips. She gives me a cute half smile and then says, “I love you,” quietly.“And I you.”She leans down, hugging me around the waist and snugglin

*Violet's POV*We cut our game short because people begin showing up and Stella excuses herself to the kitchen to make another drink. I follow her and I don’t have to look to know that Kane is following right behind me.When we get there I lean against the counter facing her and say, “Wanna tell me what just happened with Cole?”“I have no clue what you’re talking about,” she says but she’s clearly lying.“Nuh uh, nope. Don’t try that with me.”“Fine. I think he’s super hot and he intimidates me a little, okay?”“A little?” I say with a smirk and she glares at me. “Joking! Geez. But seriously, why does he intimidate you? I feel like nothing intimidates you.”“I dunno, he’s just like a fourth year and president of Alpha Psi and he’s so, you know…I guess I just feel like he’s out of my league.”

*Kane's POV*As soon as I hear the door close, I walk up behind Violet and drag her up the stairs. When we get to my room, I slam the door and lock it. I lift her up and toss her onto the bed and say, “I believe I promised you something before breakfast.”“Mhm, you did.” she whispers.“Well, I’m not in the business of breaking promises, love,” I tell her as I place kisses down her jaw. I feel her breathing increase as I remove my sweater from her body.“So beautiful,” I whisper and she tenses as my breath tickles her. I gently peel her shorts off and push her knees apart, slowly running my fingers up her thighs.She whimpers and I feel her hands tangle in my hair, trying to pull me up to where she wants me. “You’re so impatient this morning darling,” I say against her leg.“I was already patient all through breakfast,” she whines.“We

*Violet's POV*The second I walked out the door of Kane’s house this morning, I instantly missed him. This is really becoming problematic. Maybe a night away will do us both some good. Space in a relationship is healthy right?I spend the better part of my day in class trying to convince myself not to text Kane. By the time my last class ends, I pull out my phone, deciding that just one text is fine. I lasted through all of my classes already. When I click on our conversation, I see a new message pop up.Kane: How was your day love?I smile and reply: Fine. I miss you.Kane: I miss you too.I put my phone away and then head up to the dorm room. When I open the door I find Stella sitting at her desk and a pile of chocolate, 2 bottles of vodka and her laptop all ready to go, as promised.She jumps up and says, “Yay! You’re here! You know, I was half expecting Kane to be following behind you.”“It&rsq

*Kane's POV*When Friday rolls around, I’m excited to have Violet all to myself for the whole weekend. Enough so that I can allow myself to forget our motives for doing this. I hope she feels the same way.When I see her run out of her building with her bag and a huge smile on her face, I realize I had absolutely nothing to worry about.We get to the hotel, and as planned, I intentionally park near the door where I know for sure there are security cameras watching.“Ready?” I ask her. She nods and I get out, grabbing both of our bags. Violet interlocks our fingers together and we walk into the front doors towards reception. The middle-aged woman behind the counter smiles kindly at us and says, “Good Evening, how may I help you?’“Hi, I have a reservation for Kane Owen,”“Alright, let me see here.” She types something into her computer and says, “Two nights in a suite?&rd

*Violet's POV*Once again, driving away from Kane feels like I’m driving in the wrong direction. I blast my music and think about how nice it will be to see my father and Rebecca instead. I really do feel bad about not visiting more often.When I drive past Jace’s old house I cringe. Shit. I didn’t even think about the fact that he would probably be here. Well, hopefully I can just avoid him. Dad told me a few weeks back that Amelia and Preston know about the break up so even if I do run into them, I won’t have to lie.I pull into the driveway and text Kane telling him I arrived and then grab my bag and head inside. When I open the door and walk in, I hear Amelia’s voice coming from the living room. Fuck. Maybe she’s alone? I see my Dad walk around the corner and he comes up to give me a hug.“Hey kiddo! It’s so good to see you!”“Hi Dad. It’s good to see you too. Did I h

*Violet's POV*When I wake up, I hear Kane’s deep breathing coming through the phone. I usually wake up first on weekends so it’s not a surprise. I sit up in bed and pull out a book to read while I wait for him to wake up.Almost an hour later, I hear movement through the phone and then a clattering sound and then a muffled “Fuck.” I stifle a giggle and then say, “Rough start?”“Sorry darling, did I wake you? I knocked the phone onto the floor.”“No, I was already awake. I was just reading.”“I see. What time are you leaving?”Sometime after lunch. Stella went home for the weekend, so my room is empty tonight.”“Okay, just text me when you’re leaving and I’ll meet you at your room, yeah?”“Yeah. I can’t wait to see you,” I say with a smile.

Between Love and Hate Our Beginning
*Violet's POV* We meet my Dad downstairs for breakfast and discuss our strategy for dealing with my mother. Personally, I don’t think it’s going to make any difference what we say if she hasn’t cooled off since yesterday, but it can’t hurt to have a plan. After some discussion, we finally come to the conclusion that none of us has any clue how to approach this so we’re just going to show up and hope she’s feeling more reasonable today. Dad drives us there and we walk up to the front door and stand there awkwardly, unsure if we should be knocking or not. It reminds me of the first time I came here with Kane. Naturally, my brain starts flooding with other memories of that same trip and I feel my cheeks heat up. Get it together Violet. After several seconds, my dad sighs and takes the initiative to knock. We wait there awkwardly for a few minutes before the door swings open to reveal my mother, dressed in a skin tight black dress with her hair curled and
Between Love and Hate Awake
*Kane's POV*I’m very pleasantly surprised that Malcolm is so accepting of this. He’s probably the only stable parental figure I’ve ever witnessed. No wonder Violet talks so highly of him. He’s what a father should be and I’m glad she had him to raise her.Truthfully, I don’t know what I would have done if he had reacted the same way as her mother. I don’t think I would have been able to handle causing her that kind of pain, but at the same time, I’m not sure I would have been able to let her go either.“Are you guys hungry? Should we order some food?” Malcolm asks.“Yeah, I could eat,” Violet says and looks at me and I smile. I’m glad she seems to be doing better since breakfast. It was really hard for me to watch her struggle, knowing it was my fault. Malcolm nods and then raises his hand to get the waiter’s attention.We order our food and we eat mostly in

*Violet's POV*When she tells us to get out, I’m still too mad at her for what she said to Kane to be upset about it. I stand up from my chair and storm out the door, and I know he’s following me.Once I make it out the front door, I storm down the driveway and sit on the curb of the sidewalk. “Well that could have gone better.”Kane sits down beside me and says, “It also could have gone worse.”“I know, you’re right. The important part went okay. And my mom will come around. I think.”He puts his arm around me and I cuddle into his side. “Are you going to be okay if she doesn’t?” He asks me.“I think so. I mean, she was never really there for me before anyway. It’s my dad I’m more nervous about. That would much more difficult.”“I mean, I don’t know your dad, but from what you’ve told me, he seems like a pretty unde

*Kane's POV*After breakfast, we take a shower and then pull out our laptops to study, awaiting the inevitable phone call we’re going to receive today. We both keep checking our phones and I’m a little surprised when it’s lunch time and we still haven’t received anything.We go down to the restaurant and I’m glad to see that Violet is doing better than she did with breakfast. It takes her a while to do it, but she finishes most of her food. If last night caused her to relapse, I would never be able to forgive myself.We head back up to the room, and just as I open my laptop, my phone buzzes and I see Heather’s name pop up. I answer it on speaker phone.“Hello?”“Kane,” Heather sobs through the phone. “Something awful has happened.”“What is it?”“It’s your father. He- He’s dead.” This is the part where my acting skills are
Between Love and Hate The Knife
*Violet's POV*As I pull the knife out of the butcher block, I can feel my heart rate increasing. I walk over behind the couch where Harper is sitting. This is the part Kane and I argued most over. He wanted to be the one to do it, but I don’t know how to use a gun.“No. I don’t think that. I think a knife is more your style,” Kane says to him.As I raise the knife up over my head, I don’t allow myself any time to consider my options before I bend over so that my head is about level with his, and then I plunge the knife down into his chest, right where his black heart should be. I let go and back away immediately. He does exactly what I had hoped he would do.He grabs onto the knife with both hands and attempts to pry it out. Now his fingerprints will be the only ones on there. I walk over to stand beside Kane and watch as he looks between the two of us. Blood begins to gurgle out of his mouth and I lean into Kane, plac
Between Love and Hate Confession Letter
*Kane's POV*The whole week, Violet and I spent studying and also going over our plan to the point where it might have been considered slightly obsessive. Exams start next week followed by Christmas break so if we don’t do this now, we’ll have to wait until after Christmas and I don’t think either of us wants to have to spend time with my father over the holidays. Besides, the longer we wait the more danger we’re putting the new housekeeper in.On Friday after class, we head to the hotel as we have every single other time, check in at the counter where the same lady is always working. We head to our room and do all of the things we normally do: we get dressed, go to dinner and then head back up to the room, placing the “do not disturb” sign on the door.Violet then sets up her laptop which is set to play 2 different audio tracks at random times through the night to mimic our normal night time activities. We then proceed
