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
Cressida "I'll go try these on okay?" Noah said and left to the changing room without waiting for my answer and I knew that he was going to take a long time there as usual so I took my chance to distract myself from both Savaş and Jack the same way I've been doing for the last five days… by reading the book my mother wrote about her life.Maybe I would discover something about myself that way even though I still knew that my answers would always be owned by Savaş… Chapter two:Ma deuxième mortTwo Lines. Pregnant. I was Pregnant with Isaac's children. I just lost my only chance of freedom because of this child.My hand clutched my stomach where a small human was growing and I wished if it wasn't, I'll always wish it wasn't. The problem wasn't Isaac, he treated me like I was a queen from day one and till this day. The problem also wasn't the small child I was having… The problem was… me.It always was me…"Chantal?" I heard Isaac call my name, make brace myself and wipe out the tea
Cressida I Let my gaze go around the basement through my dark locks while keeping my head down. It was meant to scare any kid who stepped inside it, low light, long stairs, creepy vibes. But it didn't scare me, not one bit but it sure did my twin who was trembling in fear, his low voice shaking as he called out for me. "Cressida?" It would've been better if someone stabbed me with a knife in my heart compared to hearing how afraid Jack was. It wasn't fair.I looked beside me and saw Jack shaking but I could tell it wasn't just from fear so I quickly removed my jacket, staying in my black t-shirt as I draped it over Jack's shoulders before I took his cold face in both my hands.Tears ran down his face as he whispered, as if he was afraid that they would hear him even though they weren't here. "I'm scared." I wiped away his tears even though they kept reforming, then said in the strongest tone I could give."You don't have to be afraid. I'll always protect you, no matter what." Jack
Cressida I took one last look at myself before I left the room. This time I was wearing a dress that had a single shoulder strap and diagonal cut with a calm shade of pink which wasn't something I would've preferred because pink made me look way too girly and… innocent and I knew that I was far from innocent.My shiny black hair came down in waves, cascading down my back. A beautiful silver clip had been put in to hold my hair in place, anyone would see me as a sight to behold. Him included.A knock on the door had me coming back to the real world, making me go open the door to find the one and only… my fiancée."Amour, are you ready for us to make the grand entrance?" Jesper offered me his hand which I gladly took and we started walking until we reached the top of the stairs of the ballroom and down them, there were people waiting for the soon to be greatest couple of Atherton.Even though Jesper agreed, he was still wary of Savaş the whole week we talked about this party, afraid t
