It all seemed like a naughty prank at first. You know, the 'disappearing' trick lovers usually pull on each other to see who misses the other most? Yes, that was what Katniss thought at first until months passed and still, Noah was absolutely no where to be found.... Witty, beautiful and bubbly. Just a few adjectives to describe Katniss Costello's interesting and charming character. A young lady who had it all; from affluent parents to wealth and popularity to a quite amazing love life she shared with Noah Rogers, her then soon to be husband. Her life seemed to have come to a shattering halt after reality dawned on her that Noah might never return. She barely talked. Barely smiled. Barely went out, always bed ridden, gloomy and depressed. Void of all emotions. Indeed the shadow of her previous self. Her parents took advantage of the absence of her fiance and deemed it fit to have her married off to a proud, rich and arrogant son of their friend. She strongly opposed to the arranged marriage for few wisps of hope that he might return still laid in her heart. It was the motivation and inspiration she had to wait for him and when he does return, she'd still be here...waiting. When the pressure from her parents was getting too tough and unbearable, she wanted to get rid of it all, get rid of the emotional pain, get rid of the weight that was becoming far to heavy to carry. All she wanted was freedom, but there was only one way to do that... That night, underneath the Blue Moon, standing on the deck above the Ballad River where she wanted to end it all, there she met Asher Holden and that was the onset of her rollercoaster love life.

Katniss stared him down from head to toe with disgust vividly expressed on her face. She fixed her gaze firmly on that extended hand of his for a few seconds before looking up at his face again.He had a smile on and it highlighted his river blue eyes. Katniss was good at reading people just from a mere glance, something she’d usually praise as a rare gift. She was able to pick up some weird inkles of mischief surrounding this Ludale’s demeanor. She wondered what business her mother would have with this man or what hidden agenda he had behind those bright eyes of his. Something felt wrong.She scoffed and looked away from his face then faced her mother with full attention.“Care to tell me the meaning of this mother?” Katniss inquired sternly. Ludale smiled in discomfit as he recoiled his arm, surely getting the message that Katniss didn’t want to shake
The clock chimed it’s tune the instant it struck the hour of eight pm. Katniss stood, looking elegant as ever, as she admired herself in front of the mirror in her room.Katniss was dressed in a V-neck ball gown that dipped low enough to show her cleavage. It was an exquisite rouge tulle ball gown adorned with a floral applique . Her long ginger hair was curled and beautifully done into a wrapped textured bun in a bow. Her face which was already starting to undergo the effects of the drugs she was taking, had it’s effects attractively hidden under layers of makeup. Her whole look was bolded by her expensive selection of golden jewelry. She gently squeezed the golden locket on her neck and smiled softly at her reflection in the mirror.She looked gorgeous. She heaved a sigh and turned away from the mirror. She picked up her golden diamond studded clutch purse and headed out of her r
The room was rendered almost completely dark as it was only lit up by a standing night lamp right next to Katniss’ bed; all the windows were shut and the blinders were closed and none of the light switches were turned on as well. Katniss had now come to enjoy the darkness as lit up rooms now irritated her.The floor was littered with empty bottles of alcohol, stubbed out cigarette sticks, wraps which previously contained cocaine and other narcotics, packs of valiums and other sedatives, empty and nameless medicine bottles that previously contained God knows what, and used syringes. Broken glasses and splinters were scattered everywhere in the room as a result of Katniss’ occasional emotional outbursts which would cause her to violently break and smash one or two things around the room.Her emotional outbursts usually involve loud groaning, sobbing, cussing and crying as she remembers Noah and ev
Katniss smirked haughtily to herself as she made her way to the room where the security computers were kept. She had done a good job, a great job even; disguising herself as an investigative officer and fooling that Clara of a girl was no small thing. Up until now, she didn’t even know she had that great feat of acting skills and she wondered if she’d make it big as an actress. Hmm. Noah had always told her she’d look good on television and it seems he wasn’t too far from the truth. Katniss sighed sadly at the thought of Noah as the complacent smirk faded away. She really hoped and prayed within her that he was okay wherever he was and should please hang on safely until she finds out his location and saves him from whatever mess he might’ve encountered. Katniss had reached the small cubicle described to her by Clara. She gently pressed down the door handle and the door c
The gory sight had Katniss’ mobility rapt as she stood transfixed at the spot. She was moon-eyed and agape with fright and shock, she was indeed scared to her bones.Her eyes were glued to the unpleasant scene as for some reason, she couldn’t take them off the sight. She had a strong phobia for blood and seeing this much amount of it at once was just too much for her body to handle. She began to profusely sweat as her body started to quiver. She needed to get out of there fast or else she might spaz out as a result of the phobia. But she couldn’t move neither her arms nor legs, she was frozen, stuck in place like a statue.“What to do?” She wondered and reasoned then finally came to a quick conclusion that pain could snap her out of this dazed condition. But how? She couldn’t move her body so how was she going to induce pain on herself? She needed to leave this place quick
Katniss ran swiftly, as fast as her legs could carry her out of the Costello Mansion in pursuit of Noah. He had somehow been able to leave the mansion's vicinity in a short time, he was out of close sight. Katniss sighed as there was no sign of him around, then she proceeded to walk back to the mansion. Katniss' steps halted suddenly at the main entrance of the mansion, her hand frozen on the door knob as a thought crossed her mind.Was she really going to let her mother win? Of course this is what her mother wants; for her to simply give up on Noah. But no she wasn’t going to accept defeat that easily.“You should be ready to go the extra mile for who you love.” She mentally told herself as a smirk gradually took form on her face. She chuckled and pressed down the door knob then walked briskly into the house and then to her room to get her car keys. Her family members were already in their vario
An agaped housekeeper stared at the human figure before her. Well, it was a man quite alright, a burly well built one at that. He seems to have acquired the highly sought after body of 'one who lives at the gym.' Apart from his nice stature, everything else was a total no, no. Nada, not coming anywhere close to Lady Lucinda's ridiculous standards. His well defined masculine body which seemed to be his only saving grace can't even make up for the fact that HE wasn't at all the guy they had all envisioned Katniss' fiance to be. I mean, he was far beyond expections. Where was that glow and glimmer? The razzle and the dazzle? The riches, the golds and diamonds? The flashy entourage and the fleet of ridiculously expensive rides? Where was the flare? The rich guy pizzazz? Where was all of that? Clearly the man in front of Housekeeper Mary possesed none of those, not
It was a norm in the Costello Mansion for dinner to be observed at sharp 7pm and it was already 7;47pm; Noah was fourty-seven minutes late as it is. Katniss was worried and had already began to pace to and fro impatiently because apart from the tense feeling of anxiousness that jittered her, she was equally pissed at Noah for being tardy.She was aware of Noah's habitual way of showing up late for the things that matter, he's hardly punctual. His late coming further extends to their dates and outings in which frequently results to Katniss' impatient waiting at the venue while Noah either intentionally or unintentionally doesn't show up on time.It can't be helped though, the lousy habit of tardiness had sunk deep into the man. Nevertheless, he should've at least TRIED to show up early for this. For Christ's sake, this is his first meeting with his future in-
~20 YEARS LATER~The atmosphere that filled Noah's dimly lit black and white themed bedroom was a rather rapturous one, oozing with budding ecstasy and waxing pleasure. The ambience was brought alive by the soothing sounds of soft moans and lips passionately clinking together. Katniss and her fiancé, Noah were lip locked in an intense kiss with their hands freely alternating and caressing different sides and places of the other's body. They utilized every single second they spent in the act to enhance the already fiery mood by trying their best to send feels down the other's spine. He was seated in a sprawled position on the bed while Katniss sat on his laps with her legs curled around his torso. His actions continued to add more pleasure to the kiss as his hands had already found it's way to her bare back, frequently alternating fro
