Cressida Neither Of us said a word to one another as Savaş returned to driving to the party.I mean… I don't know what to say. This was so fucking missed up, the whole idea of me and this man in one place is one thing but him taking ownership of me as if I was some kind of object is a whole other thing.And the whole him being my father's enemy's son didn't leave my mind as well because it made me feel like everyone knew everything about my life but my own self and worse is that they refuse to tell me anything. Why are they doing this to me? Do I really look too weak in their eyes to the point where they think I couldn't handle a single truth and if only I was asking for too much, all I'm asking for is my life… the one that I forgot.It's not like I chose to forget everything."You're not going to tell me anything about my past are you? If you know about it." I whispered and for a moment I would think he didn't hear it but the silence in the car was begging to be filled with any sou
Cressida A month and a few weeks passed by and to my surprise, Savaş never bothered me face to face this whole time as if he was really giving me time to make my decision.But I couldn't exactly say that he was decent either because of the texts I kept on receiving from him or more like smutty and dirty texts.And it seemed like he picked all the wrong times to send them, sometimes when I'm eating breakfast, lunch or dinner with Dad and aunt who by the way were pretty much still pissed at me for not telling them that Savaş was my boyfriend. Boyfriend my ass.Anyway and sometimes he would send me those texts when I'm literally in class or talking with a teacher. Savaş Ewald knew no limits which made my case all worse and if only I could at least brainstorm with Talia but I didn't tell her about the whole Savaş 'Rules' or mention anything about my past at all because I knew she would've told Dad and I don't need that, not right now.I was now in the car with Dad and Aunt because even a
Cressida "Oh this one is awesome!" Jack and I said in union as 'Astronaut in the Ocean' by Masked Wolf started playing on the car radio while we started vibing with the song but my brain kept wandering to how was I supposed to cope with Savaş's 'Rules' I mean I still didn't talk to him about me accepting his deal but I sent him a message that we needed to talk but didn't give anymore info but I saw that he sent more of his filthy texts but I had to ignore them to ensure that I wouldn't orgasm on my own fingers because of him.The more I thought about it, the more I realised that there was never a choice for me in the first place. That day when Dante visited my Dad, Jack called him in the middle of the meeting, telling him that he was going to surprise me with his arrival and going back in my memory to that Day, I saw Savaş talk to someone on the phone and I'm willing to bet my life on it that it was his father on the other line.In other words, Savaş knew that Jack was coming to con
Cressida You fucked up… Cressida.Unfortunately that wasn't the last thing Savaş said to me before he disappeared…They won't tell you anything, Güzel. I'm your only key to your past because they all would prefer lying to you because they think… you're too weak.That sentence was roaming around me like a ghost the whole day. Was that what everyone really thought of me? Weak and breakable.No… No, I'm not weak. I'm stronger than they all think I am, they'll see. But I didn't want to think about that now. First, I was with Jack now and didn't need him to sense that something was off. Second, we had to go home and get ready because there was a gala that had something to do with businessmen so as the children of Isaac Arne we had to be there as well.And someone else was going to be there as well…"It looks like someone befriended the little witch." Blake. I took a deep breath but continued walking towards my car where Jack should be waiting since I asked him to go ahead of me.Just ign
Cressida "It's official, you hate me, Ida." Talia groaned in between her vomiting streak before she went back to vomiting."Hangover can be a bitch, right?" I smirked as I said those words while standing beside her with a towel in my hand, waiting for her to finish her session. "It is and so are you." I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud but had to keep it down a little when Jack entered the room and he too had to stop himself from scowling at Talia because of her drinking habit."Jack, how come I'm the bitch when she is the one who pushes me away every time I tell her to stop drinking?" Jack only shrugged but had to leave when Dad called him and I was more than ready to eavesdrop on them but Talia tugged at my leg so I would give her the towel which I did.But my gut feeling told me that Dad calling Jack wasn't something good… it just wasn't. **********************Everyone And I mean everyone was staring at me as I walked the hallways with Talia by my side and I might or
Cressida Oh my beautiful children, I love you so much but I will always wish that you were never even born."No!" I woke up, gasping and sweating. It was the same dream I was having for the last two days… ever since Dad went to prison and ever since I accidentally found that book.I looked at the nightstand beside me where I last placed the book… that damned book.'Two days ago'Why Did they send me to get something from Dad's office when I hadn't entered it for years.I kept on searching for the papers Jack asked me to find but there was a specific drawer that felt weird… too weird. I took the ruler that Dad always kept in the office and placed it on the side of the floor of the drawer and pushed a little… bingo! I was right, there was another layer beneath it and there was a book with only a few French words written on the red leather cover. L'histoire d'une femme morte.Which in English meant : The story of a dead woman.Dad was never one to read books so why would he keep a boo
Cressida Getting ready for this party was sooo damn exhausting and what was even more tiring was decorating the house, getting drinks, food, waitresses and waiters, all in one day.I was currently wearing a navy blue dress that had a long slit, showing off my legs. My hair was pulled up in a wavy ponytail while having it braided on the top as well.I usually wear Mom's necklace even if it never matched the dress but this time my hand hovered over the necklace as I remembered her words in the book and the small fragments that I dreamed of as well… I didn't think I wanted to put it on… not today.So I simply picked one of the other necklaces I had then headed downstairs, my heels clicking on the stairs as I listened to the calm and classy music that was playing but while looking around, I noticed Noah and his face… was bruised. Maybe not that much but still noticeable so I quickly ran to him and placed my hands on his face, making him look at me."What happened to you?" I gasped and di
SavaşThere was no going back for me now. Not after I got a taste of an island full of guilty pleasure, simply by having Cressida come because of my fingers only.Everything about her screamed sin even though no one else could understand it. No one could understand how hard I became upon looking at her innocent blue eyes, the same eyes she wanted to make everyone else believe that they were harsh and unfeeling.No one noticed how she played with the hem of her shirt whenever she was nervous or how she bit her lip every single time she lied. No one in this whole goddamn world knew her buttons and how to push them the way I did and I'm only getting started… Soon I'll be the only one she could trust. She would soon lose trust in her father, her aunts and maybe even Jack but I swear in my life that I'm doing this for the better good. The bathroom door opened and I half expected it to be Cressida, looking for more answers but instead it was her look alike. Jack."Stay the fuck away from
